Book Description
My Life As Invisible Intestines (with Intense Indigestion) is book # 20 in the The Incredible Worlds of Wally McDoogle series. When Wally first becomes invisible (thanks to the handy-dandy OOPS Machine) it's great fun. Now he can do whatever he wants, like defending Opera by humiliating a bully, or helping the local football team come back from a 0-54 score. Then, of course, there's always giving Wall Street a hand in making her first million. . . . But the fun and games are short lived when everybody from a crazy ghost buster, to the FBI, to the 59 ½ Minutes TV show, to the neighbor's new dog (a cross between a grizzly bear and a Tyrannosaurs Rex) begin pursuing him. Soon Wally is stumbling and staggering through his greatest misadventure ever . . . until he finally learns that cheating and taking short cuts in life are not all they're cracked up to be. Until he learns that honesty really is the best policy.
Book Description
What is invisible resistance to tyranny? It is an underground movement of secret freedom fighters, each acting individually and independently to ignore, evade, resist and thwart the increasingly heavy hand of government power. Invisible resisters do not join protest groups, stand on street corners making speeches or run with a mob throwing rocks at police vehicles. Rather, they make up a collective silent insurgency that tyrants won't be able to put down because they won't be able to find it. Government enforcers will fruitlessly look for organizations with no members, commanders who aren't there, secret headquarters that don't exist and couriers that carry no messages. Invisible Resistance to Tyranny is both a manifesto and manual for everyday citizens who are alarmed by the never-ending encroachment upon the individual freedoms recognized by the Bill of Rights and who want to do something about it now before it comes down to a choice between violent revolution and total submission. It outlines a progressive program of resistance that anyone can undertake without having to protest in the streets, go on hunger strikes or take up arms. It tells how to: • be a "bad" citizen while still being a good neighbor. • identify and nurture sympathizers and build a network of invisible resisters. • confront and convert "government supremacists" to your side. • disrespect politicians and bureaucrats without drawing attention to yourself. • actively resist within today's system through such avenues as taxes, guns, juries and schools. It then provides ideas for the many paths of invisible resistance to tyranny - intelligence collection and dissemination, propaganda, support for active operations and, if it should ever come down to it, direct operations against a totalitarian regime.

Ridiculous Nonsense.......2007-08-04
There is never anything wrong with questioning something, but this book is laid out to make a person supposedly feel like they are someone doing something rebellious while staying within the lines. Please, do not apply the word "insurgent" to someone walking a picket line or fighting the IRS paper trail, that is truly ridiculous nonsense.
Invisible Resistance to Tyranny.......2007-03-12
Intriquing title, but one that lets you down. While the author has a good grasp on the 'increasingly Unfree World' his solution is to continue to do nothing so no one will notice that you're doing something. The book offers few positive active suggestions for dealing with the cultural problem that he so clearly identifies. The book needs more develpment. It's like reading a recipe full of the correct ingredients for making a cakes only to find that the master chef tells you not to put it together or bake it lest you be noticed close to the ovens.
Outstanding, practical advice.......2006-02-03
Be a Bad Citizen! Jefferson explains how the mindset of the "bad citizen" is infinitely preferable to that of the sheeplike "Good citizen" who obeys his masters without question but never seems to gain from it. Bad Citizens are much better friends and neighbors, that's for certain. Spend the money and study this book --it won't take that long and you'll have a fairly concrete yardstick by which to measure yourself: Am I a free citizen or am I a government apologist?
Disappointing.......2004-07-17
This was a recommended companion to Enemies Foreign and Domestic by Matthew Bracken. Unfortunately, it falls amazingly short. For those already trying to fight the growing monstrosity that is our government, it contains little of any value and some bits that are actually counterproductive. For those who are not yet on board, it is written in such a way that it is very unlikely to get through to any of them. It is a repetitious and puerile mix of common sense and poor advice.
Excellent update of a classic.......2002-12-11
This book is largely an update of the author's earlier classic, _Secret Freedom Fighter: How To Fight Tyranny Without Terrorizing The Innocent._ Outdated information has been removed, and there is now references to things that happened since the first edition came out. I was one of those lobbying for the original to be reprinted, but this is better than a straight reprint would be.

A companion volume to the Miramax documentary of the same name, Microcosmos is "a natural fairy tale," an insect's-eye view of the world. The text tends toward the poetic and metaphorical, likening the ripening of a cocoon to computer assembly language, examining the flight patterns of mosquitoes, veering into discussions of why it is that flowers are beautiful. (The French authors have a wonderful answer: "Flowers are beautiful quite simply to seduce insects.") The book's greatest strength is in its superb photographs, which capture the minutest details of an insect's wanderings.

astounding pictures.......2002-04-09
This book is well worth the money! Even if you haven't seen the movie that originated the book, you'll be fascinated by the small world of insects. As a 3D artist, I strongly recommend this book for its rich and wonderful reference pictures of insects at different stages of their lives. The diversity of their shapes, the richness of their textures. After the 2nd or 3rd page, you'll find yourself empathizing with these little creatures!
A Magnificent Display of Insect Macro Photography.......2001-12-31
I saw this book in a bookstore but did not buy as it was overpriced (more than US$38) !!
But, it is indeed a good book showing insects and other creepy crawlies in action and close proxity. How the photographers did it was a remarkable achievement and certainly deserve to win awards for this work.
Anyone who likes good photos of insects will undoubtedly love this book.
Although this book is out of print, Warner Home Video has produced a VCD by the authors of the same title, and it is perhaps even more stunningly beautiful and awesome.
If you can, get the book and the VCD.
extraordinary, one-of-a kind creature photography.......1999-08-27
a must have for macro photographers--even for fine art photographers. beautifully depicted insects in detail never seen before. the world of insects shown as an amazing fantasy land.
Book Description
Twenty-five years after its original publication, Slave Religion remains a classic in the study of African American history and religion. In a new chapter in this anniversary edition, author Albert J. Raboteau reflects upon the origins of the book, the reactions to it over the past twenty-five years, and how he would write it differently today. Using a variety of first and second-hand sources-- some objective, some personal, all riveting-- Raboteau analyzes the transformation of the African religions into evangelical Christianity. He presents the narratives of the slaves themselves, as well as missionary reports, travel accounts, folklore, black autobiographies, and the journals of white observers to describe the day-to-day religious life in the slave communities. Slave Religion is a must-read for anyone wanting a full picture of this "invisible institution."
Customer Reviews:
The Classic.......2006-06-25
Some books are classics; "Slave Religion" is THE Classic in this genre. Raboteau, America's foremost scholar on African American religious history, weaves copious first-hand quotations with insightful, riveting commentary to provide a tremendous foundation for understanding Christianity among the enslaved African Americas.
Chapter after chapter, "Slave Religion" opens deeper and deeper layers of understanding. As you read, you sense Raboteau transporting you back directly into the historical experiences. His writing is so thoroughly researched as well as so adeptly penned, that scholar, student, and lay reader alike can equally enjoy and benefit from it. Peerless.
Reviewer: Bob Kellemen, Ph.D., is the author of "Beyond the Suffering: Embracing the Legacy of African American Soul Care and Spiritual Direction," "Soul Physicians," "Spiritual Friends," and the forthcoming "Sacred Friendships: Listening to the Voices of Women Soul Care-Givers and Spiritual Directors."
excellent and informative.......2005-09-08
Prof Raboteau's book is clearly written and highly informative. He has an excellent sense of how to present his material in an engaging manner, and a sharp critical faculty. I enjoyed reading this book very much - as I also enjoyed his more recent books, A FIRE IN THE BONES and A SORROWFUL JOY, both of which I would recommned.
Recovering lost voices..........2004-12-10
Albert J. Raboteau originally wrote 'Slave Religion: The "Invisible Institution" in the Antebellum South' as an expansion and derivation of his doctoral dissertation, little expecting it to become a classic. This updated version, twenty-five years after its original publication in 1978, includes Raboteau's response to some of the reactions he received over time from various audiences. Citing his friend and mentor Sydney Ahlstrom's prediction, the recovery of African-American history as a subject in its own right also served to revitalise the subject of American religious history, as African-American history cannot be told without a great part of the religious traditions, and the religious history of America cannot be told adequately without incorporation of the African-American experience.
Raboteau writes in terms of recovering voices, particularly for this study, the voices of slaves preserved in narratives from the past. This idea of recovering voices is a strong theme in liberation theologies, and applies in important ways both to secular and religious history (as well as present-day practice). Not only the voices, but also the actual events need to be recovered - as Raboteau points out, before the 1820s, far more Africans made the trans-Atlantic journey to the Americas unwillingly than Europeans of all nationalities and religions. The idea of European development of the New World obscures this important fact.
But just what was slave culture? Was this something distinct and unique? Were there multiple slave cultures? Raboteau, speaking in context of the religious, could not ignore the political, and argued that there were vital and creative means of continuation of African cultural influences, often overlaid with Christian and European influences, that provided what he calls a pre-political solidarity that, while not always directly challenging the institution of slavery, provided the kind of foundation needed for questioning of authority needed to break the mindset of the institution of slavery.
Raboteau claims that his primary intention in writing this text was the passing-on of unwritten traditions, oral traditions no longer heard; this goes hand-in-hand with the desire through historical methodology to increase wisdom along with the spiritual task of reflecting upon a tradition that stands a continuing challenge to the complacency exhibited by most of Christianity (not to mention individual Christians).
With regard to the task of preserving oral traditions, Raboteau's text is very good. He incorporates hymns and songs, poems and stories, historical accounts and academic analyses of various sources for the preservation of this important history. Raboteau includes pieces from original African languages as well as adaptations by those Africans already in the Americas. He describes in good detail various practices, such as the ring shout, as well as belief structures. For example, the preservation of elements of African gods and goddesses (and attendant practices) was often stronger in Latin America/Roman Catholic countries than in the Protestant-oriented United States; Raboteau discusses the various possible reasons for this, which include the greater possibility of syncretism and cross-identification of practices, but also the fact that, after a time, the majority of the North American slave population was native-born, whereas in Caribbean and South American locations, there was a constant influx of new arrivals from Africa directly.
Raboteau also discusses the paradoxical situation of Christianity using conversion as a justification for slavery. In the modern world we find it nearly incredible to think in these terms, but one of the rationales for permitting the enslavement of whole peoples was to convert them to the Christian faith - there was also the occasional idea (Azurara, for one) that there were not only spiritual benefits to the slaves, but also the contact of the slaves with Western civilisation was by itself a better state than that in which the people had lived as free persons. There was for a time a difficulty in permitting slaves to become Christian, for as Christian they would have claim on greater expectation of fair and equal treatment; colonials had more economically-oriented goals in mind, and often objected to any religious ideas that might jeopardise their profit margins.
Raboteau's description of the public institutions and the 'invisible institution' practices is intriguing. The public churches formed often with controversy within and outside the communities. The 'invisible institution' existed often as a forbidden aspect; slaves might be members of both the independent black church groups or congregations that were racially mixed (Raboteau mentions that some such congregations might have far more slaves than masters in attendance), but also participate in worship gatherings at night in secret locations, risking severe punishment to do so.
By the time of the Civil War, the slave culture was thoroughly Christianised throughout the South, according to Raboteau. Not all slaves were Christians, and Raboteau points out that the secular/sacred clash often present in the modern-day culture was present even the slave cabins, where secular music that provided antecedents to rhythm and blues would sometimes compete with the more religious-oriented calls to worship.
Raboteau points out that one of the criticisms of his text over the years has been that it is a bit 'too Christian', that its context and overall method looks too much in that direction. Raboteau accepts this criticism, as well as the critique that the voices of women were not as prominent as they might have been, given their importance in the preservation of slave culture and religion. For a work early in the field, these are gentle criticisms that in fact point to areas where, even to this day, further research and writing needs to be done to preserve the historical record.
Raboteau's book is an important milestone in the recovery of lost tales and voices. For any who want a full understanding of American religious history, this book is a must.
Experiencing The Experiences Of Enslavement.......2000-02-27
Slave Religion is a valuable text. The author does an excellent presentation of the experiences of our ancestors prior to their departure from Africa and their arrival on the plantations. I use this text in a course I teach, The History of the Black Church. The author is to be commended for his research.

David Gates writes practically perfect American stories. Perfect, first of all, in their staid adherence to American short-story tradition. There will be no rioting in the cafés over his first collection, The Wonders of the Invisible World, with its glimpses of characters daunted by love. Here are creatures we know well: Manhattan quasi professionals taking their lumps; urbane fortysomethings trying out small-town life. It's all Updikean adultery, Cheeveresque drinking, some drugs, a life-altering accident or two. But Gates's stories step beyond being perfect examples of their form to become something fresh, compassionate, and witty. He has an astonishing handle on the way people talk, not just to each other, but to themselves. In the title story, a husband remembers the day his wife left him: "She appeared holding a tall glass in each hand as if she were--forget it, no stupid similes. She was a vision. A vision of herself." In "Beating," a Jewish woman is fed up with her Leftist, activist husband, who owns Pound's collected works. "I fantasize sometimes about making a big stink and demanding that he at least put Ezra Pound away where I won't have to see it every day of my life. I'd be like, Hey hey, ho ho, Ezra Pound has got to go."
This kind of attention to the goofy music of interior dialogue is normally found in comic fiction. But Gates is concerned, too, with the little failures of language, and so the failures of relationships. His territory is not comedy, it's the tragedy of failed optimism. In this way, too, he is a perfectly American writer. --Claire Dederer
Book Description
In these stories, the author of
Jernigan (runner-up for the Pulitzer Prize) and
Preston Falls (finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award) illuminates with unflinching vision and hard-earned compassion a great variety of lives: men and women, young and old, in thrall to--or in flight from--jobs less creative than the echoing past had promised, as their parents, siblings or children die, implode or (perhaps just as bad) flourish. Gates's people know their Hopper, Huysmans and Haggard, their Beckett, Bartoli and Billie Holiday, more confidently than they know their families, friends and lovers.
Yet they're terrifyingly self-aware, and refuse to go gently--even when they're going nowhere fast. The author the New York Times calls "a novelist of the very first order" now stakes a similar claim as a writer of short fiction.
My first thought of the day is: And we are supposedly good people. (from "Beating")
Moral support: a weird expression. Was the assumption that people's morals needed shoring up in time of stress? Or was it moral of you to lend support? ("The Crazy Thought")
But it's not his baby, of course, nor mine. The baby is its own baby. I think of it as a girl, because the idea of a tiny man inside me is, is, is what? Repulsive, I was going to say . . . ("The Bad Thing")
If anything is strange, it's her husband's refusing to get rid of his dead mother's wheelchair. ("Saturn")
What you don't do is get into porn on the Internet. You don't get a cat. You could possibly get a dog, but not a small dog. ("Star Baby")
Out Main Street we flew and onto Massachusetts Avenue, and the people on the sidewalks seemed to pass each other in comradely fashion, like the angels in Jacob's dream--a thing I hadn't thought about since I was a boy in Sunday school--moving up and down the ladder that reached from earth to heaven. They began to be surrounded by a pulsing radiance, and I thought I saw some of them passing right through others. It didn't strike me as out of the ordinary. ("The Mail Lady")
Customer Reviews:
Great insight into the human character.......2005-04-18
A number of the other reviewers of this collection have focused on the sensibilities of Gates in terms of place (New York--the northeastern U.S.) and community (middle class, at least middle-aged, white people). Variations on a theme, to continue the musical metaphor, can be boring for some people.
In many cases he made me care about his characters. He made me like them, empathize with them, feel angry at them. In no case did I want to change places with any of them--their lives are too much like all our lives. Nor did I ever despise any of them, probably for the same reason.
The gay protagonist in "Star Baby" struggles with a sexuality he clearly did not choose and almost unconsciously falls in platonic, paternal love with the child of his crazed sister. The elderly narrator in "Vigil" is an island of sanity in a sea of family dysfunction. As such, he is held in contempt for his normality and his tolerance of the behavior of his loved ones. He is unbelievably naive and good hearted for one of his age, and I admire him for it. (Perhaps it is not so much naivete as a deliberate choice to see the best in people). I would refer anyone accusing Gates of only protraying cynicism in his stories to this character.
While these stories might not be for everyone, Gates is a real talent and unusually gifted at character exposition.
Writing's good, stories too self-indulgent..........2000-09-03
David Gates is a staff writer for Newsweek and the author of a couple of best selling novels. He puts together in this collection a series of stories that reflect the kinds of conversations that go on in people's heads when they are at the end of a personally, emotionally somewhat traumatic life experience. We read the pains of women coming to grips with being trapped in bad marriages, men dealing with unfaithful wives, a gay man who is taking care of his addict sister's boy, and in one story at the end, an elderly man who has experienced a stroke and is so alive and coherent internally but not externally. None of these stories is nice, none has a happy ending, there are no characters with whom one identifies - or better put, with whom one might empathize or sympathize. I had the overwhelming feeling that every single one of these protagonists sort of deserved what they had.... or had the means to escape their situation but were trapped by their OWN psychological ropes. It was a collection of stories that I couldn't stop reading, but that each left me unhappy, disconcerted, with sort of a low grade dull headache about the quality of human beings in the country I call home. The characters were, by and large, well-educated, intellectuals, worldly, and living in and around New York (so assumedly they had some greater vision of the world than what might come from less urban parts of the country). I guess the bottom line for me was that the slight depression I felt after finishing this collection did not encouraged me to read either of Gates' novels.
Just Another Cynical New Yorker.......2000-08-03
Come now, is this really worthy of five stars? It is easy to read and has a nice flow, yet it is surprisingly simplistic. Anyone who has lived in New York for an extended period of time will be able to relate to the title story. However, i feel that this book is slathered with cheap irony (admitted by the author) and urban stereotypes. Nothing is left to the imagination, and his vivid, sometimes insightful descriptions of New York are often overshadowed by an overkill of the author's psudo-bohemian "compassion is out of style" attitude. Seriously, if you hate New York so much, why don't you leave? Though sometimes the author does have very real insights into human emotions, generally (and especially when speaking in the female voice) he does a good job of oversimplifying very complex situations. It is hard to tell whether this guy really can write or whether he is simply not afraid to say things that other people might find offenseive. Its just too easy to be a cynical New Yorker.
MIXING AND RIFFING ON..........2000-01-21
ADULTERY, ALCOHOL and other drugs, MUSIC, LITERATURE, DOMESTIC ISOLATION, IN ISOLATED RURAL AREAS (usually NY - NE area) FAILED WRITERS OR OTHER ARTISTS (okay, and academics), and let's not forget SICKNESS--
Every story in this book has these in common -- overly-analytical people, unhappy and internal, trapped in their heads and the domestic situation that they pretend to have chosen.
Sound boring? Could have been and might still be to you, but this Gates feller riffs with so many personas, each dealing with these same issues in similar ways, people going out of control and trying to stay in control, it's a testament to his skill has a writer that Gates keeps us engaged. Reminded me of a jazz musician riffing on a standard (a metaphor that would not be out of place in one of these stories, i'm just warning you) if you could argue that the standard was written by john cheever (please don't say updike).
The slow build, the welter of observational detail that pulls you into these seemingly restrained parlor dramas that are suddenly upset by the tinest details, the capturing of the circular internal dialogues -- all make a captivating read. The old cliche about not being able to put it down--it's true of this book. While the first story sets the tone adequately enough, my favorite stories were Star Baby, Vigil, the Intruder, and Saturn. These felt finished and therefore induced some relief -- the ones that ended ambigously merely felt unfinished, but still left this reader with that sense of unease, claustrophobia, underlying lusts, passions and secrets that haunt the NPR cohort. So did the finished ones, now that I think of it...
My only reservation is less about the book but about the world that Gates has captured: has the intellegentsia in this country all become bergmanites, or is it just that Gates's abilites as a writer allow the uselessly educated, neurotic class in the usa a sheen of sexy tragedy?
This is a capital A Awesome collection.......1999-09-07
This is the best collection of stories I've read this year, hands down and I've read quite a few. The characters, dialogue and stories are gripping, believeable, horrific and funny--most of the time, all of those things at once. I liked some of the stories more than others but I liked them all, particulary "Vigil" and the title story. Gates' characters are the type who've read Raymond Carver yet Carver's characters would never come near a David Gates book--much less any book. Anyway, this guy's the real deal and a pleasure to read. I hope he takes a good long time between this and the next thing he writes so that he keeps the level of quality that's in these stories in everything else he does. They're excellent.

Impossible? Of course not.......2006-07-18
How is it possible to see the invisible and change the world? It is impossible through human's eyes and ability, but with God's help and guidance it is very possible. Dr. Kim is a living evidence of how God has enabled him to see the invisible.
Everyday is a living testimony of how God has been changing the world.

An inside view on how God works........2006-07-16
As a Christian, we experience his power, providence and plan everyday. This is the story of Dr. Young Gil Kim, former NASA scientist/former Professor at Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST), and current President of Handong Global University (HGU). This book not only inspires the reader by giving a in-depth view of his personal journey, but through the sufferings and redemption he has faced through his Christian walk; being labeled as a "fake scientist" by colleagues (however God rewarding him with the Korean Scientist of the Year award and many technological achievements manifested in patents and papers) ,from being imprisoned in jail on charges of fund misappropriation (only to be exonerated later!") Furthermore, this book also gives a view on HGU's founding philosophy which has profoundly influenced Korean and world wide education: The Merging of Christian beliefs to Professional competence in Technology. Even though HGU is only less than 10 years old, its graduates are members of leading corporations such as IBM, Samsung, LG, and also went on to top graduate schools such as Harvard and others. If you are praying and preparing yourself in doing God's work, this is a must read! Not only will be challenged, but most importantly that you will have comforted that indeed God is indeed deeply involved in every affair in our life.
