If you are very comfortable with your understanding of the problems of the inner-city, don't read this book. Roth writes in a very readable style, but he produced a challenging even startling book. His analysis of the interplay of inner-city problems is penetrating. He shows how these problems multipy each other rather than merely add to each other. He shows very compellingly how the social science establishment ignored what was right in front of them, because the truth was not welcome, and how public policy makers made foolish choices because of bad social science.

This is a facinating book. A real eye opener. You may be uncomfortable with what you learn, unless you are ready to deal with reality. This book is a must for serious students and scholars of social policy.

If you're interested in the life of Edward John Trelawny, you'll have to look elsewhere. Suffice it to say that Tre' (as his friends knew him) was a privateer, a scoundrel, a lover of poetry, a freedom-fighter and a loyal friend of the most prolific literary talents of the romantic period. "Records of Shelley, Byron and the Author" is an account, not of Trelawny's extraordinary life & adventures, but of the two men that helped make that life so extraordinary. In his own words, he tells of the secret lives of Byron and the Shelley's, their romp through sunny Italy and the tragic death of Percy in the coast of Spezzia. The tale continues as Tre' follows Byron to the bloody civil war in Greece, where Byron too dies. To his credit, though, it is never "Trelawny's tale", but "Byron and Shelley's tale" as told by Trelawny. This deep, insightful book shows the poets as only a close friend could. Yet throughout, one can not help but love Trelawny himself: the man who supported the impoverished Mary Shelley to her dying day... the man who bought a slave for $10,000 only to set him free... the man who reached into the embers of Shelley's pyre, withdrawing his heart. If you love the poetry of Byron and Shelley & have even a passing interest in the men behind the legends, then Trelawny's memoirs are a must-read.

McCane (Academic Director of the Sepphoris Excavations in Northern Israel, and Chair of Religion & Philosophy at Converse College, Spartanburg, South Carolina) is a scholarly, in-depth study of death and burial practices in ancient Palestine during the Roman and Byzantine periods.

For those interested in the great ocean liners that plied the seas (and to a limited extent still do), this book is a must. It is very oversized and has utterly engrossing photos and narratives of the liners starting with the sailing ships of the late 19th century and ending with QE2 and France.
