[Longhorn Review] Crank

Material Type: All, Books — Posted on October 22, 2009 at 3:20 pm

By: Hopkins, Ellen

I think this book gives a great view into the life of an impressionable teenage girl suddenly immersed in the world of illegal drugs. Kristina starts using meth after a short stay at her estranged father’s home. She continues to use it for recreation purposes but soon develops a dependency on it and what was left of her previous life disappears. Make sure to read the sequel, “Glass”. Kristina’s life get’s even worse.

[Longhorn Review] The common place book of William Turner, M.D.

Material Type: All, Books — Posted on October 22, 2009 at 1:55 pm

By: Turner, William

Many notes in Latin and Greek.
Several hands.
One page includes notes about king Charles the first, which cannot have been written by William Turner.
The microfilm seems to include copies of two different books.

[Longhorn Review] The art of Harvey Kurtzman : the mad genius of comics

Material Type: All, Books — Tags: — Posted on October 16, 2009 at 3:31 pm

By: Kitchen, Denis

Thank Harvey Kurtzman for Mad Magazine, if you are old enough to remember when it was good, or if not, for The Simpsons whose creators were influenced by him as youths. Or whatever hilarious subversive satire the kids are reading and watching these days. He was a subversive genius when it wasn’t so lucrative.

Wonderful photography and essays about an area that we usually see only from planes (landing at Newark Liberty) or from the road and rail links that cross it.

Fantastic resource for those entering into the field of electrochemistry, and for those who are in need of a quick refresher on specific topics. A nice compliment to Electrochemical Methods by Bard.
