Music teacher and James Brown fan
I gave this a 5 star rating because this is great book for young people. It tells of his childhood, his musical innovations, and how he has been a advocate of young people staying clean, and earning an education. An adult may find this book too simple of a read, however, the infomation of his life and accomplishments are all included. As I said, a good book for younger students. ... Read more

Part detective story, part intellectual history of the rise ofinternational law, and part critique, this original, thoughtful workoffers readers both a fresh perspective on important historicaldevelopments in international law and a new level of comprehension andguidance into its future. Understanding the development of international law and its connectionto morality contributes to an assessment of the problems and prospectsof international law today.

Product Description
Dwarfed by industrial buildings and new residential towers, the little brick and wood-frame James Brown House is the spiritual hub of Manhattan's West Soho neighborhood. The building's present incarnation as home of the popular Ear Inn watering hole is only the latest in a long and fascinating history. Ear Inn Virons traces the heritage and legends of this New York City landmark; through this tale, it also chronicles the history and culture of the vibrant West Soho neighborhood. When the house was built in 1817, the district was being transformed from swamp and sandy hills into a residential neighborhood. Its first owner was James Brown, according to legend an ex-slave who fought in the Revolutionary Army. Over the decades, the house's fortunes have followed the rise and fall of the neighborhood, from middle class homes to bustling waterfront to near-abandonment. In the 1970s, the area was almost a ghost town when a group of struggling artists stumbled on the building and transformed its bar, then a seedy waterfront dive, into the Ear Inn. Now West Soho has been rediscovered by developers and high-tech firms, and the neighborhood is changing almost beyond recognition. As long as the James Brown House still stands, however, its history will not be forgotten.

Heavily illustrated with maps and period illustrations, Ear Inn Virons is the definitive history of the James Brown House and West Soho neighborhood. In addition to documenting the broad cultural and historical forces that molded the district, the text is peppered with colorful tales about riots, gangsters, Irish bartenders, the daily life of longshoremen and a ghost named Mickey. • Surprising and amusing history of a house built in 1817 and its vibrant downtown neighborhood• Newly researched and definitive architectural and cultural history of New York City locale• Literary excerpts• Local color and broader issues discussed, including September 11 • Many black and white and color photographs and period maps• Invaluable guide for West Soho and neigborhood exploration• 40 illustrations, many in color• 3 maps ...

Elihu Root--A Man of, and Ahead of, His Time
Elihu Root was a prolific statesman with a prodigious intellect, and the addresses and speeches contained in this book are full of elegant language and remarkable insights.They are written in a manner that is accessible to readers of high school age or older.The arguments and observations Mr. Root makes are clear-eyed and conciliatory, and they are as applicable in today's geopolitical environment as they were 100 years ago.His arguments are also distinct from those posed by most contemporary pundits and politicians insofar as Mr. Root is willing to consider both sides and seek middle ground.In reading other source material about Mr. Root, it is clear that he was an extremely focused, fairly self-effacing social servant.He was also devoid of self-promotional tendencies.I suspect that is why he isn't mentioned more prominently in discussions about 20th century American diplomacy.He needed a better press secretary. ...
