Book Description

The book spares no one. Politicians, sports stars, celebrities, corporations, publishers, crossing guards––all fair game. If you are a scumbag or just somebody who they find annoying there is a fair chance you will be on the list.

Politics has long been a passion for Jackie Mason and he is well known for his tough and outspoken position on many issues. He is not one to sidestep an issue no matter how sticky. Together with his friend and collaborator, the well–known divorce attorney Raoul Lionel Felder, he has hosted a weekly PBS talk television series "Crossing The Line" and a BBC radio show "The Mason–Felder Report", and currently he has a weekly talk show on the Comcast Network.

1 out of 5 stars Useful in only one regard.......2007-09-26

Perhaps I'm just getting too old... I can vaguely remember back in the early days of television when some of what Jackie Mason said was actually funny.

But the only way this book could been any worse would have been if Alan Derschowitz had done the editing and Ann Coulter's face had been on the cover. (Although, to be fair, Neither Mr. Mason nor Mr. Felder is very much less unappealing to behold than Ms. Coulter)

Still, this book did add something to my store of knowledge. Based upon the definitions given in the introduction, I can now state with some authority that:

1. Anyone who either buys a book written by a faded borscht belt comedian and a celebrity divorce lawyer for more than 39 cents on a remainders table OR takes seriously anything contained in said book - is a schmuck.

2. Anyone who actually writes such a book as this one AND puts his own name on it - is a putz.

2 out of 5 stars okay read.......2007-08-24

It is an okay read, but I won't recommand buying it. Borrow it from the library or something.

2 out of 5 stars The incessant whine of the privileged has never been so shrill.......2007-07-12

Imagine if you will that you are at a dinner. Your host is a rather amusing Republican; and he may have been a liberal in his youth, but that only makes his current political stance all that more forceful. He begins with a few light jokes, some witty repartee and then drags you into a longwinded and ultimately self-righteous sermon about everything that is wrong with America. Now imagine that he's Jewish or at least knows enough Yiddish to fake it. That's the essence of this book.

As with Goldberg's 39 People Screwing Up America, this is one of those books from the Republican Shriek Factory. Forget about Bush committing us to a fruitless war and practically legitimizing torture. Forget about the blank check that Bush got from a Republican Congress to keep this war going. Hell forget about Ann Coulter, Bill O'Reilly, FEMA or Ken Lay from Enron. No, in this world, the worst human being is Al Gore (who is lying - so sayeth the ancient Jewish comedians without humor) and Al Sharpton. Oh and of course we can't have a book like this without slamming on Barbara Streisand.

Even Goldberg threw in a few personalities that we could all agree on - like Barbara Walters dumbing down the news.

But this book is just a combination of smug and defensive from beginning to end. And even better, it's new but it reads like an old NY Post article. These guys still think that Bill Clinton's sex scandal is more odious than Bush's war. Only no one died in that sex scandal and at this point I thought no one cared. ANd Bill Maher? Yep, he said that the 9/11 terrorists weren't cowardly. The factg that bravery and cowardice have really nothing to do with their actions is second nature. Nope, you have to call your enemies cowardly. The words "evil" or "vicious" are only accurate; so why bother with them?

This is a book that was old before its time. Had it been published in the early part of the decade when Bush could do no wrong and his willing cheerleaders sang his praises, it might have been a hit; especially among those who think that throwing in a Yiddish word or two is the height of comedy (ie. goyim). Now it's just sad.

3 out of 5 stars Milding Amusing At Best.......2007-06-09

Lighthearted approach to some heavyweight topics. It's a very quick read about dozens of people, places, organizations, countries, governments that don't measure up to he way Mason and Felder's look at the world and the way it oughta' be. Mason does comedy standup about world events, so maybe he's qualified in his contributions to the written slam fest. -But who's this Raoul Felder? -A "celebrity divorce lawyer," reads the book jacket. One might ask: "What's his world-view expertise?"

In any event, the book's stacked with truly cutting opinions and soft-touch humor about personalities from Barbra Streisand, Barry Bonds, Bill Clinton, Ray Nagin, and even Pablo Picasso...to entities like the NCAA, Afghanistan, the French, and the New York Times. Plus criticisms about automatic toilets and sinks? True, this topic has not been overlooked. The casual funniness balances the biting lampooning in ways that only Mason can effect...without venom or hate. You can sort of tell which parts were Mason's and which were Felders.

Regularly, they parlay a compelling "Jewish" flavor to the work by including references to Jewish events or people or words. The authors often pepper in terms like feh, meshpucha, yenta, et. al. I don't exactly know the meaning of these words; but somehow, they worked for this reader. Ah, but, then, too, the title of the book is "Schmucks!" What should we expect? Is it light Jewish humor packaged for Gentiles. [The copyright for this book is by Krapatakin? Might there be some kind of hidden humor here only the writers would know about... (!?)]

Mason and Felder confront the notion that "...just because a person is absolutely first-class in one field does not mean [he/] she should be respected in another," the point of a couple of pages on Susan Sarandon. Maybe this says it all, as "Schmucks!" is all over the board, definitely overly-political [however lite] in its scope, and is only marginally amusing. It's Not at all "material that will leave you crying with laughter," as the dust cover promises; but it is interesting, with a lot of "yeah, I agree with that" reader reaction.

Very funny book. A welcome break from all the bad news, lately.
Utterly redunkulous and schmucktacular...in a good way!

Was interested but not being able to see what it actually consists of (view inside) I passed it by and spent $$$ at a brick and mortar store where I could look at what I was purchasing.

Don't need a lot but not being a pro musician I have no idea what is actually in a fake book.

This is the net folks, not a brick an mortar, wake up if you want to sell to me.

5 out of 5 stars Too much of a good thing?.......2007-02-24

I have been playing tunes from this book almost every day since I received it several weeks ago and have only scratched the surface. It has a great selection of songs from the various genres and eras. Lot's of fun stuff. About the only bad things I can say about it are that the book is so big that I am a little worried that the plastic music stand on my keyboard will break off if I really start rocking out and that the comb binding is a little difficult to deal with. The pages tend to jam when you turn them. As far as the tunes go, this is a great collection, one that I look forward to exploring further.

5 out of 5 stars Great book.......2007-02-17

A must have. Plenty of songs to refer to if ever needed. Buy it.

4 out of 5 stars Ultimate ?.......2007-01-10

Well maybe not THE ULTIMATE, but very good selection of oldies, movie theme songs, even turn of the century fun stuff... Having a ball with this one...

5 out of 5 stars Piano Man is two thirds of a page long.......2006-07-10

In Billy Joel Complete Vol. I, Piano Man is five full pages long. In the Ultimate Fake Book, it's about two thirds of a page. Similarly, the sheet music for Webber's All I Ask of You is five full pages, but exactly one page in the Ultimate Fake Book. The Titanic Love Theme is one page in this fake book. I find the comb binding to be strong, and the print large enough and clear and everything is neat and accurate as far as I can tell. I am having SO MUCH FUN playing songs out of this fake book, I can't believe it!!! I'm almost giddy with delight -- I can't believe I'm playing some of these songs that I always wanted to be able to play!!!

Book Description

Filled with headline-making revelations, this explosive account by two award-winning investigative reporters tracks the behind-the-scenes story of the forged intelligence document that the Bush administration used to push the nation into war with Iraq

Like Barbara Tuchman’s 1958 classic, The Zimmerman Telegram, about the decoded German wire that drew the United States into World War I, or the recent bestseller Cobra II, The Italian Letter traces the road to war by following the scandal surrounding the Italian Letter, a fraudulent intelligence document that cooked up proof that the African country of Niger was prepared to supply Saddam Hussein with uranium for nuclear weapons.

What is the real story that led to President Bush’s 16 famous words in his 2003 State of the Union address, "The British government has learned that Saddam Hussein recently sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa."? In the first book to uncover the details of the scandal that has already led to the indictment of one administration official—a scandal bigger than the Iran-Contra affair—the authors have drawn on their unique access to a large group of CIA, FBI, and international sources as well as whistle-blowers.

As frustration over the increasing deaths in Iraq continues to mount, this timely, page-turning narrative provides fresh insights for a nation hungry for greater understanding of the Iraq War and the manipulated intelligence document that altered the course of contemporary history.

5 out of 5 stars In the lives of the American people it was the end of Innocence.......2007-08-31

1. The Italian letter indirectly supplied by Laura Montini to Rocco Martino and introduced to Elisabetta Burba was not concretely proven. Montini, an employee at Nigerian embassy, in Rome produced the excerpt from the Italian letter: "The government of the republic of Niger and The Govrnment of Iraq by their respective official delegated representatives. Said provision equaling 500 tons of pure uranium per year will be delivered in 2 phases."
2. Michael Ledeen, fellow of the American Enterprise Institute was thought to have had a hand in the Italian letter development from forgery to intelligence because his ties with Italian intelligence services. Ledeen alleged Iranian intelligence agents, and noted Iranian Intelligence fabricator, Manucher Ghorbanifar. AEI fellows include Cheney, Shultz, Kirkpatrick, and Ledeen.
3. Burba was convinced that Niger did not have the capability of shipping yellowcake to Iraq, secretly or openly. Yellowcake was store in 880 barrel filled half way, to control weight and safety. Burba estimated to ship the barrels would have required a 100 truck convey and tractor trailers were rarely seen in West Africa. Each truck would have to travel hundreds of miles from the mining sites in Niger to Cotonou, a major port city in neighboring Benin, where the uranium would be loaded on ships. The risk to sell uranium to Iraq would have been disasterous to Niger, if discovered, because the country receives financial aid from the US and Europe. It wouldn't make sense to make the deal.
4. Burba left copies of the Italian letter with US intelligence and inspired the Bush 16 words scenario. The intelligence community was stunned by the statement not knowing where the statement came from or the source of the information. The policy office was out of the loop and was unaware of a rogue operation in the African country. The intelligence community case was the Iraq was rearming with chemical and biological weapons and when the State department discounted the Niger claim, the director of WINPAC said it was possible. The difference of opinion had more to do with politics than analysis of intelligence.
5. Wolfowitz as his from Christopher DeMuth, president of the American Enterprise Institute, to put together a small team of scholars to assess the dynamics inside the Middle East that had produced the Sep 11 hijackers. The twelve man team concluded that Saadam Hussein had to be removed from power to transform the region into a stable and less threaten part of the world. Neoconservatives were also attracted to the Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs with the advisory board consisting of Kirkpatrick, Ledeen, Perle, and Woolsey and Feith as chairman.
6. Wolfowitz hope that Ahmad Chalabi would preside over Iraq after the US invasion. Chalabi received $30 million by the Defense Department in the run-up to the Iraq invasion, payment inpart for providing intelligence, most turned out to be worthless. Chalabi "attempted to influence United States policy on Iraq by providing false information through defectors directed at convincing the United States that Iraq possessed weapons of mass destruction and had links to terrorist." In Oct 2002, the Defense Intelligence Agency cautioned that the Iraq National Congress was pentrated by Iranian hostile intelligence services and would use the relationship to promote its agenda. A similar warning came from the CIA. Chalabi introduced Mohammed Harith, to the Pentagon and the DIA found much of the WMD reporting questionable and his descriptions of alleged nuclear facilities demonstrably incorrect.
7. Under the approval of Rumsfeld, Feith and Wolfowitz create a supersecret team called Team B. Team B provided Cheney and Rumsfeld the evidence that Saadam had created an unholy alliance with Osama Bin Laden. The CIA never said such a thing and did not believe it was true. Team B told Cheney, "Mohammed Atta had met with an Iraqi intelligence officer several months before 9/11 attacks" and Cheney repeated it to the public. As a result 70 percent of Americans polled said Hussein had something to do with the toppling of the Twin Towers.
8. The Office of Special Plans for the new Iraq initiative was a secret matter. The Joint Chief of Staff was not in the loop. Chalabi was a frequent visitor to the NESA and Special Plans office and often broth along Iraqi defectors. DIA reported the information Chalabi and his defectors provided was virtually worthless. "Chalabi stock fell after the invasion, when new accounts dislosed that his intelligence chief was a long time senior officer in Iran's espionage service. US authorities, meanwhile, investigated Chalabi for allegedly passing secrets to Iran.

4 out of 5 stars A Thorough Examination.......2007-07-03

At the core of the disaster of the Bush presidency lies a fabricated "intelligence" document used to justify pre-emptive military invasion.

You wouldn't know it by watching the mainstream press.

This book fills an important role, similar to the 9/11 commission report or the Iraq Study Group. It fills in many of the details necessary to understand how and why such a colossal and embarrassing "intelligence failure" could find it's way into the most important State of the Union address in decades.

It doesn't answer every question, but it answers enough to make it a very worthwhile read, and it does so with just the right touch of humor and lighter prose.

5 out of 5 stars Faked out?.......2007-07-03

Blow by blow account of how to construct a lie and get it delivered to the public by a president. Very well written account of the infamous `sixteen words' in Bush's 2003 state of the union address. This is the way the Mafia would use our intelligence agencies.

It also includes a quick reference time line of events for those amount us who do not posses great faculties of memory.

3 out of 5 stars Fairly thin on the purported topic.......2007-06-14

I have read most of the books on how and why the US went into Iraq and how badly we botched it up once we got there. I found this book interesting and there was some valuable new information, but I came away knowing little about the Italian letter I hadn't already read elsewhere. The central question of who wrote it and why went unanswered, beyond the belief that it originated within SISMI. It's an interesting book if you don't know the story, but unsatisfying if you do and desire to know more.

4 out of 5 stars Whoa...........2007-06-06

This book really opens your eyes to what exactly this administration has done to push the war in Iraq. It is very indepth and very accurate. While I was reading this book, at times, I would forget that I am reading about something that is going on right at this moment because the crap they have pulled sounded like something in a movie. It's frightening that this is real. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to know what the hell is going on.

3 out of 5 stars Musical ability broad range of muisc still needed .......2007-08-06

Do not assume that there are no sharps and flats in this book just because it advertises for "C" instruments. Even though there are over 1000 songs in the book, unless you are very well versed in music over the past 70 years, be prepared to only relate to about 10 to 15 percent of the songs. If you are well-versed in left-hand chords, including songs with three sharps and five flats, and if you are an historian of 20th centrury music, then this is definitely the book for you. If you are primarily a 1 sharp / 1 flat pianist with only a background in music of the past 30 years, be prepared to be limited to about 10% of the songs in the book. I am not a great pianist, so I struggle with many of the songs. It also helps to be very proficient with beat and timing so that you can work on songs with which you are not familiar. The price of the book is very reasonable, just reduce your expectations to be able to play 1000 songs, unless you are a good musician.

5 out of 5 stars Outstanding Value.......2007-05-14

I consider this book to be an outstanding value for the money. No matter what your age, you will find some songs that you know. The book is BIG, and that is both a plus and a minus. What I did was to split the book into three parts, but first copy the table of contents so you can place it in each section. It's just to big to thumb through and to set on the piano while you are playing. The plus side of this is that you have hundreds and hundreds of songs to choose from.

I have several fake books, and I use this one more than any of them. Look over the index of songs before you buy, and see if there are enough songs that you know. I'm sure you will find enough songs to keep you busy for many months. I use this for piano, so I can't address how useful this is to guitar players and others.

Remember, this is a book that uses chords. You play chords with the left, and the melody with the right hand. There is no bass clef.

This book crams a tremendous amount of music into one book. Is a great reference for anyone playing with a group or by themselves for that matter. I play with three others and they all have fake books similar to this one and we are constantly refering to them. A great source of music.

5 out of 5 stars Memorize this.......2006-12-17

These songs are ment to be memorized. Unlike the Real Book, the Ultimate Jazz Fake Book gives a clear and concise approach to playing many of the standards most know and love. There is some filler, but there is a lot of filler in the Real book, as well. I found this book very helpful while learning to play jazz -- in other words playing and then imrovising over the chord changes given to me in each song. I had a great time with most songs except The Peacocks (Lord, what were they thinking)and Cherokee. I ended up transcribing my own piece for Cherokee. All the others seem to be helpful. If you are a piano player or a guitarist, this book is for you!

5 out of 5 stars The Great Jazz Standard Book.......2006-03-13

There are a few mistakes, but very few. Very good for 625+ songs from the 30's thru the 60's. It's also a classroom in one book for standard jazz progressions. Well worth every penny. If you play the nursing home circuit this is the book.

2 out of 5 stars Poor.......2001-06-10

This is a book worth buying only if you are a singer looking for melody and text to jazz/dixie tunes. The chord progressions are weak, with many faults and flaws. The lineup is poor as well, as the compilation process has forced the songs to be typed with no concern to form etc. No four-bars-per-line here. No book to bring along to the gig, but a great resource for old-and-nearly forgotten tunes.

Product Description

We proudly present this collection of more than 400 praise & worship songs, from classic standards to the best current titles by top worship leaders such as Paul Baloche, Brenton Brown, Don Moen, Matt Redman, Michael W. Smith, Chris Tomlin and Darlene Zschech. With great arrangements for all C instruments, this fake book is an invaluable resource for musicians from hobbyists to pros. It features instructions for using a fake book, a helpful Guitar Chord Guide, and two indexes: one alphabetical by song title, and the other by song key, which makes creating medleys a breeze. The notation is larger than in most standard fake books for ease of reading. By improvising with the chord symbols, players can fake their own arrangements of the songs, and many selections include suggestions for vocal harmonies in cue notes. Songs include: Above All Agnus Dei Ancient of Days As the Deer Awesome God Be Glorified Better Is One Day Breathe Celebrate Jesus Come Into His Presence Days of Elijah Draw Me Close Enough Firm Foundation Forever Give Thanks God of Wonders Great Is the Lord He Is Exalted The Heart of Worship I Could Sing of Your Love Forever Lord, Be Glorified Majesty Mighty Is Our God My Redeemer Lives Oh Lord, You're Beautiful The Potter's Hand The Power of Your Love Sanctuary Shout to the Lord That's Why We Praise Him These Hands This Is the Day We Fall Down We Will Glorify Worthy of Worship Y...

5 out of 5 stars Great material for worship bands.......2007-09-15

This is good stuff....what I like about this book is that there's the melody line and also choir parts for the vocals. So, with more than 1 worship leader, they can sing in different parts.

I bought this together with Best of Contemporary Christian: Over 400 Songs (Fake Books)....I found that the latter one has more difficult chords on the same songs as found in this one. But no vocal parts.

Thats cool with me though....

5 out of 5 stars Best book ever..............2007-06-21

This is one of the best piano books I have owned. If you don't know how to read music but can play the melody AND you can learn how to play cords this one is for you. It sounds so nice !
I paid much more for this.
Don't hesitate to buy !

5 out of 5 stars The cover says it all: This IS an essential tool..........2007-05-24

...but there's nothing fake about it =)
With only the chords and treble cleff melody line (sometimes simple chords), 400 songs can fit in the palm of your hand and be copied on one peice of paper instead of the full score which takes so much more space. If your keyboardists can fake with only the melody line and chords written above, then you're in business! After using various (not always copyright ethical) ways of gathering music together for teams in the past, I LOVE having it all in one place!
The only drawback is an odd paper size which can cause problems when photocopying one-time-use sheets (lines cut off sides and bottom)

5 out of 5 stars Great Resource.......2007-03-05

Our praise band consists of Youth and the young at heart. This book was a nice resource that provided material that all could appreciate. Our band consists or two singers two guitarists and a precussionist. It was easy to read and follow for everyone. We did have our church organist sit in with us and she had a tough time since it is a fake book format. She needed to be able to see all the notes on staff instead of just the melody with some harmonies in spots with the chord names over the staff. We were able to use it as a good starting resource. If you are starting a praise band or contemporary service and are on a limited budget, I'd really recommend this song book. The selection of music represents both past favorites and current ones in an easy to read format that will allow you to start and progress in building a good pool of songs to use during worship. We play in a United Methodist Church and I would go as far as to choose this over The Faith We Sing song book that is published by United Methodist Press.

5 out of 5 stars GREAT BOOK!.......2007-09-12

So many great songs from so many eras. If you're looking to bolster your collection this is a WONDERFUL book to buy! Definitely worth every penny. Written in the original keys on many songs, and most are easy to read and play along with. FANTASTIC! I can't put it away.

4 out of 5 stars QUESTION please.......2007-03-11

I bought this book to play some songs on my flute, which I understood to be a "C" instrument. When I received it, it's great but the octaves seem too low for a flute. Were these books designed for piano only? I would appreciate knowing. I also bought a B flat one for my tenor sax and it also has very low notes for songs on a sax. Thanks!

5 out of 5 stars Ultimate Pop/Rock Fake Book is the Ultimate.......2007-01-10

As fake books go it's the collection of songs and the sophistication of the chord underpinning that makes all the difference. The Ultimate Pop/Rock Fake Book scores 5 on both. The songs included covers a wide range of styles and the chords presented are faithful to the original sound of the music.

4 out of 5 stars Fake Book.......2006-08-09

If it's not here, you probably don't need it, but I was personally hoping for more from the Beatles. Good value for the money. I will use this a lot more than the Hal Leonard Ultimate Fake book. The Ultimate Fake Book has a smattering of patriotic, religious, and show tunes, and a wealth of polkas that even polka fans have probably never heard of in addition to SOME pop and rock.

Book Description

Recorded history is a finely-woven magic fabric of intricate lies about events predating the sixteenth century. There is not a single piece of evidence that can be reliably and independently traced back earlier than the eleventh century. This book details events that are substantiated by hard facts and logic, and validated by new astronomical research and statistical analysis of ancient sources.

3 out of 5 stars Calculations are only as good as your numbers.......2007-08-03

Yes, we can all agree that mainstream history is nearly 100% BS due to politics, economics, ego, problems with dating techniques, and various conspiracies. Agreed. But, I've been researching the distinct possibility that human history (in terms of civilizations) are much more ancient than we've been told, so coming across this book was very interesting to me. I wondered how Fomenko could be wrong (if at all) because he is very persuasive in his presentations. Then it dawned on me. If at previous times in prehistory, due to the various catastrophies that are well documented (comets, asteroids, planetary disruptions, plasma discharge, pole reversals, etc) the Earth was in a different position in relation to the sun, different tilt on its axis, different orbit, different rotation (in terms of velocity and DIRECTION), and the continents were in different positions, then would this not cause the ancients to see the sky (constellations) differently? In other words, is Fomenko making erronious assumptions about the physics of the Earth in pre-history, which then corrupt his data with regards to dating the relevant astrology? The last event to seriously disrupt our planet occured roughly 3500 years ago, according to other good researchers, so is it possible Fomenko has been confused by this? The vastly different physics of our planet in the not so distant past may explain this confusion, which is not to say the "mainstream" version of history is correct; on the contrary. I am not an expert in these fields, but wanted to see if this idea could spark discussion.

5 out of 5 stars Pants on fire?.......2007-07-19

Will people ever read before spamming? Yes, Jesuits could not rewrite world history alone, they had help. Anyway, Dr Prof Acad A.Fomenko does not point to jesuits as the driving force of world wide history manipulation in published volumes 1,2,3;, actually he barely mentions the poor devils. Check it with 'Search inside' feature, please. China is rarely mentioned either, in fact, Dr Fomenko is completely eurocentric. Right, his theory contradicts all mainstream schools of history, because in their actual state they are all built on blatantly erroneus chronology. You don't need a mysterious cabal (conspiracy) to falsify history, the falsification is its modus operandi. It is inherent to history(ians) to falsify (distort) events, as it is inherent to humans to boast as it is inherent to power (authority) to legimize itself by referrring to glorious past made to its own order. Dr Prof Fomenko and team have identified scores of instances of such manipulation in Russian, European, etc.. history, and delivered valid statistical proof thereof. His own 'reconstruction' is completely another story. Forget c14 as a valid method of dating. W.Libby has initially discovered a brilliant method of INDEPENDENT dating. Too bad, c14 method has become a joke after a forced marrige with dendrochronology with consensual chronological scale inbuilt. Radiocarbon method can't stand blind tests, but is so very productive as a rubberstamp.

5 out of 5 stars Accepted History & Chronology Must Be Changed. .......2007-04-09

There is no doubt that history as most know it is a sham, & institution's version of History both University & Church is fradulent & inaccurate. Everything was established with an agenda, The real "Dark Ages" are now when we have access to incredible amounts of information past authorities & more important 'common folk' didn't have but our institutions & educators are slow to evolve because of what has ignorantly & arrogantly been taught for too long. This is on many subjects not just Chronology.

For anyone to question "Why would a Mathematician have anything credible to say of History?" The answer is from Dr. Fomenko's preface in the book: "It would be worthwhile to remind the reader that in the XVI-XVII century Chronology was considered to be a subdivision of Mathematics." These volumes could possibly be some of the most important works to date & should be read by everyone with an interest in History, especially professors & educators who have a duty to the public. I have read both books & must say that 'Chronology 1' has some very eye opening & revolutionary information. Even if these volumes are part true the implications are profound & opens the doors to further investigations & questions which must be done. I speak several different lanquages & must say the logic Dr. Fomenko uses with "inflection" of words & words being read from left to right in one region & right to left in another then written backwards, the removal of vowels & get down to basics of words, or different cities & locations having the same name etc. is correct. Vowel usage has always been optional & varied, actually complicating linquistics & study. The first thing one has to understand is that words never had a fixed spelling in history like we do now, the spelling of words was mutable & regional, as well as names & titles of people were vast, varied & changed, NOTHING WAS FIXED or understood linear. Matters of Life & Death as well as financial profiteering yesterday & today were & are made with ignorant, illogical & conspiratorial views of history & reality, it's time people get closer to the Truth & society collectively grow up.

It is a good proposal and I believe it will mature into something even better in the future. I think it deserves to be read.

4 out of 5 stars History as Science Fiction.......2007-01-10

Anatoly Fomenko has written a very intriguing book, full of pictures, charts, and computer 'proof' of his thesis: backwards of AD900 we don't really know what happened or when. Between AD900 and AD1600 there is more certainty, but there is still a lot of fuzzy ground, and things don't get reliable until we get past the 1600's where the printing press made it very difficult for the perpetrators of this timeline manipulation to change anything that had been committed to print. The Dark Ages did not happen. Books were burned for a reason. One organization has doubled the actual length of its existence by expanding the real chronology. Read why.

I had always wondered why Christ died about AD33 and yet men waited until the 11th century to form the Knights Templar, the Cathars, etc and go after the Holy Land by force. Why the 1000 year gap? Turns out there wasn't more than a 10-12 year gap and he proves it using astronomy. This also implies that the planet is not as old as we have been told, and current Christian and other creationist scientists are already championing that idea without being aware of Fomenko's book. The two groups, creationist scientists and the Russian mathematical analysts corroborate each other. Fascinating.

Of course, all this flies in the face of what we have been told traditionally is the 'proper' chronology of western civilization, and most readers will experience 'cognitive dissonance' in reading this book. It means that our history going backwards from AD1600 becomes progressively more incorrect and unreliable until it cannot be trusted at all... in the space of 700-800 years.

Naturally, the curious, open-minded reader will want to know WHO did this, WHY, and did any of the events we think of as really ancient ever happen?
Dr. Fomenko is a respected scientist/mathematician at Moscow State University who has already answered these questions to the satisfaction of his initially skeptical colleagues. Most of them are now believers, a few still refuse to believe (the usual diehards), and of course the western press has ignored Fomenko's work -- for obvious reasons when you read the book. The ones who perpetrated this chronology ruse have a lot to answer for. They are still with us. That's why this book is a well-kept secret.

I gave the book a 4-star rating because I was unable to check out some of his claims; those I checked were as he said. But if even 1/3 of his claims are true, this punches a big hole in what we think is our history, the meaning of western civilization, our educational process (for repeating the ruse as gospel), and the trustworthiness of the organization that perpetrated this ruse, well-intentioned or not.

This book relates to current research into a Young Earth paradigm, to John Keel's discoveries about our planet, and Fr Malachi Martin's insights (in his now out-of-print books). We are indeed sheep who are manipulated and kept ignorant -- for a reason. While knowing what these men have to say may be the "booby prize" (as in: 'what can you do with this knowledge?'), it will provide interesting reading. Didn't someone say: "...and the Truth will set you free."?? For you to judge if this book contains the truth.

Great guitar tabs, comprehensive, and lays flat due to spriral binding. Bought one for ourselves and one as a gift...both are now treasured volumes.

5 out of 5 stars A relief.........2005-08-19

I have a copy of "The Beatles Complete" which is a Japanese publication that is thicker than a telephone book, hard bound, and weighs a ton. It has useless detail like drum staves so that each song takes four pages to get through. I got pretty good at turning the pages, but it won't sit on a piano, and it's pretty hard to learn a song when it is not on a single page. Furthermore the publisher has managed to engage charlatan transcribers who have gotten half the words wrong. They seem to think checking the published lyrics would be unethical, or perhaps they think their non-native and illogical made up words more creative? Beats me. She rubs you, yeah yeah yeah! The book is good as a cutting board or excelent as a weight while the glue sets after a guitar repair. Now the review of the Fake Book:

The songs are all on a single or facing page. Sweet. It sits on a piano stand. Far out. The lyrics are correct.

I tried a test, sitting the book on my bed and playing through random songs on guitar. Some of the chord diagrams are not ideal, but playing by the chord names, with only an occasional cheat off the diagrams is a very flexible method. Perhaps a chord is mislabled here and there, a major for a minor, and there seems to be a Bm missing as the second chord in 'across the universe'.

This can be overlooked. The binding is a bit weak. The plastic ring is good because it lays flat, but it can detach itself and the cover paper is too light. But if you consider this something to use, a bit of wear and tear shouldn't be too troubling. I'll get a new one if this gives up the ghost.

5 out of 5 stars And Your Bird Can Sing.......2005-05-17

This book is a music teacher's wish come true and a music student's answered prayer. It contains Beatle songs from obscure to well-known classic staples and will no doubt delight fans of all degrees.

The chords work for the recordings; the diagrams are accurate and the songs can be played by students at the intermediate level. Beatle songs are a staple of life; performers of all genres have included Beatle songs in the
