Those of us who live outside of North America may well be surprised to read of the momentous class battles which saw hundreds of thousands of working people give their support to Socialist ideas

Eugene V. Debs was one of the very best products of American Labor movement. He was one of the millions of workers engaged in mass struggles for the most basic of rights waged during the late 1800's and early 1900's.

Two decades as a union fighter led Debs to adopt revolutionary socialist conclusions. He did so while in Chicago's Woodstock Jail, a few months before his 40th birthday.

For the remaining thirty years of his life Debs devoted himself to convincing working people in the US that the road to their emancipation was through the overthrow of American capitalism.

Through the selection of Debs speeches and writings put together in Eugene V. Debs Speaks you see where the class battles are at their hottest, there is Debs; writing, speaking and even using his election campaigns to aid the workers involved in struggle.

Debs delivers the cold hard truth about American capitalism and it's institutions. Much in the same way as another working class leader who made his mark some 40 years later - Malcolm X.

Eugene Victor Debs was sentenced to ten years in prison for the anti-imperialist speech he gave in Canton, Ohio in 1918. It is a fire-breathing speech full of love for the oppressed and hatred of the imperialist oppressor. After you buy this book, read this speech first. It tells you about the U.S. rulers today-and their wars. The speeches in this well-rounded book (with a superb introduction by James P. Cannon), provide socialist answers to the big questions workers face today, as well as yesterday. His writings on the capitalist prison system are especially relevant. Debs, who spent four years behind bars himself, salutes the humanity of his fellow prisoners and points to the real criminal-"Capitalism is inherently a criminal system for it is based upon the robbery of the working class and cornerstoned in its slavery." Not much question about what he would think about U.S. wars and the anti-working class measures involved in Homeland Security. Like Malcolm X, Debs shows that the U.S. working class can indeed produce great leaders.

A refreshing collection of Debs' speeches and writings. Debs was a railroad worker and union official, imprisoned for his role in the 1894 Pullman strike. He became a socialist in prison, was several times the Socialist Party's candidate for president, and became the a symbol of labor and Marxism for a generation.

"What's the matter with Chicago?' is a lively examination of the how capitalism affects human life. Other items discuss the labor movement of his time, the early American Federation of Labor and the Industrial Workers of the World. His 1918 Canton Ohio speech, recorded by a police spy stenographer, blasted the First World War as imperialist, hailed the Russian revolution, and landed Debs a ten-year sentence in federal prison.

I found this book at the library,and made lemon bars for friends who's child is hypoglycemic. They loved them so much I had to get the book...Now we all eat these really great desserts.Thank god for good sugar free recipes like these..Susan Young

After trying the shortbread cookies our family wanted me to try more recipies.I recomend the "choice cheesecake"on page 43.You would never believe it only has 197 calories.My past experience with sugar free type deserts have been not the greatest untill we found this great cook book.So far everything tryed has tasted as good as it sounds.When can we find your next cookbook in the store?

Jean C. Wade, herself a diabetic, provides a fructose-based alternative sweetener for every recipes; includes easy-to-read charts for Equivalent Sugar Substitute Measurements; helpfully breaks down each recipe into its nutritional components per service (including calories, carbohydrates, protean, sugars, total fat, and sodium); and lists diabetic exchanges for every recipe.

These are great books for distracting our pediatric patients (and parents!) during procedures/tests.

Great for all ages. This set of books is very good for testing your eyes. You will have tons of fun with these books. Families love these books.

Unless your memory is photographic, you will find it challenging to find the things described in these rhyming riddles to be a brand new each time you open this. Pretty soon, the items in the puzzle all look alike. Growing a little weary of looking, you eventually call out for help, which makes these a great family time. Funny but the older the person the more frustration they seem to have. My children's grandfather still gets so amazed with these then he gives up and says " its not on there...I looked " then the three year old will spot that same object he was looking for. The I Spy Fantasy has the most unbelievable pictures. There are also extra credit riddles in the back of the book so these books never get old. My family owns each one and these are truly our favorite!

This book has been recently translated to Portuguese language for those readers who are interested in other languages. It is called: "A Obsessão Antiamericana - Causas e Conseqüências" edited by UniverCidade do Rio de Janeiro and could be found in Europe for $ 13.95 euros.

At last, In France, a voice raises against the stream of the anti-americanism " well-thinking ". French believe they invented the Human Rights but, despite Voltaire, Montesquieu, Tocqueville, Bastiat, and many others, they ignored the essence of the liberalism. From communists to nationalists, including socialists and gaullists, they misunderstand the spirit of America.
This book, with a gentle sense of humour, and many opportune references, is a source of jubilation. One by one, all the bloody stupidities and insanities accumulated since so many years, fall in dust. And little by little, JF Revel shapes a righter image of this great nation to which we so much owe. A true event in the briny marsh of the generally accepted ideas !
It should be hoped that this comforting speech will contribute to let american people know that some french hold them in great esteem, and cherish with them, Democracy and Freedom !

Now that we are in the middle of an other crisis between the U.S. and the rest of the World, Mr. Revel's book comes in handy to put things in their just perspective.

Like Reagan when he asked Gorbatchev to "tear down that wall", Bush has been ridiculed from the beginning in many countries, particularly in France. He's been called a "cowboy", "simplist", etc. According to "Old Europe", he should have listened to them, with their great experience... After all, they know about human tragedies... They had two World Wars, two of the greatest fascists of History -- Hitler and Stalin --, a never-ending mess in the Balkans... Quite a résumé to say the least...
They obviously are the ones who how to handle such things.

Mr. Revel will tell it better than me. The book is well documented, to the point. He great read to anybody who wants to make his opinion and understand how the world came to show such division in the face of grave danger.

I really enjoyed this book because it was obviously a stuggle for Jean Little, but she still kept on going. She had many goals in her life and most of them was to do something in order to be normal. I think the most important parts of the story is when she gets her different pieces of writing published and actually gets money for it. She has loved books ever since she grew up. I noticed that many books that she has written has connections with her life. Most of them have a disabled person as a character. I think she writes all her books by using her life as a base, but altering many things.

I have loved Jean Little's books about children facing special challenges for many years, but only found out recently that she has had her own disabilities to cope with. In this book, she talks about her childhood in China and then Canada, the difficulties she faced going through school with severely impaired vision, and the love and support of her family that enabled her to persevere.

With insight and humor but without self-pity, she tells of the challenges she faced at school, including bullying, as well as the relief when she was put in a sight-savers class and at last found a place where she was "normal" - like the other children in her class - and had teachers who understood her needs.

Against all odds, Little decided to go to university. The book ends as she works as a teacher and writes her first book - one inspired by the need of her disabled students to read realistic stories about children like themselves. After reading this book, I know understand how she writes so knowingly - it's because she has lived many of her stories.

I find this such an amazing book. I loved it so much. I am using this book for a book report and I find that it will be the best.I am doing a bookseller's day and I will try to sell this book. I feel that it will be successful for me because this book is so interesting. Sometimes it is so touching it can make you cry. Jean Little is such a brave girl and into such a talented young lady and to a real grown up person. I feel that this book will teach you a great lesson by having someone sharing their past with you and everyone around. Everything in the book is so real because all those things have probably happened in some school. People getting bullied. But the thing is, no one ever stands up for themselves and I find Jean Little such a spectacular person.

A novel that tells the story of an Armenian Family during the Armenian Genocide of 1915. The story is very well written and immediately captivates its audience. Once you get into it, you won't be able to put it down. It becomes part of you. Once you finish reading it, it will stay with you forever.

The Definitive Historical Novel
A Summer Without Dawn is the best and definitive historical novel ever written on the Armenian Genocide during the First World War. Its spirited, vibrant writing, frequent twists and happenings, abundance of events and unusual love stories, ``secrets of the heart`` keep the reader`s interest at the boiling point till the last page. A fabulous read for lovers of good literature and history--one is educated while being entertained. It is bound to become a great classic in its genre. . .

A Summer Without Dawn is a credit to the historical genre. The authors have created a great beautiful story, providing the reader with long hours of intermingled pleasure and anxiety. This work is quite without parallel in its richness of detail, despite the fact that its action unfolds during the First World War. The storytelling genius of the authors and the romantic plot that is developed with such superb skill forbids the reader to put the novel down until the last page.

I just finished this book, I cheated and read the last chapter before my daughter and I finish it together tomorrow because I had to read the ending. It was a gift to us from a friend who knew we loved horses, and what a wonderful read it has been. Not an easy read at times, but a true story and wonderfully done. I must find her other two sequels!

For horselovers of all ages, everywhere! A wonderfully written book with lovely illustrations. Jean Ivey skillfully draws you in and makes you a part of the story. To those who know Arabians, you are further reminded of the uniqueness of this animal and its love for, and devotion to humans.

For every child who has ever dreamed of owning and loving a horse, this book will further enhance that dream! To love and bond with these wonderful creatures is one of life's great experiences.

Jean Ivey creates wonderful dreams! I'm looking forward to her next adventure!

I loved this book. The writing was flawless and the characters were wonderful. The illustrations were lovely too. You can almost feel the hot desert winds as you read it. I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves horses, stories about the mid-east, or just a great book. I'm looking forward to the sequels.

This book is all about the language of the abortion debate. It uncovers and dissects the rhetoric which the abortion choicers use to obfuscate the fact that abortion is the brutal axe murder of a defenseless child. For far too long, the abortion choicers have determined the language with which this political debate is discussed. The pro-life movement has allowed this to happen. Euphemisms have always been the tool of those who would hide the truth. The whole purpose of the book is to uncover the subterfuge. It does an excellent job of this. Unfortunately, many sincere people in the pro-life movement have fallen victim to the terminology of those who would excuse this horrible inhumanity to these tiny children. I urge every pro-life person to read this book thoroughly, commit to memory the information therein, and never again to let anyone get away with using language to rob people of their inalienable rights. The use of language in this manner has always been the tool of those who would legitimize evil. Do not let this continue to happen! Read this book and heed its message. Our very civilization depends on it.

This book is an excellent addition to the library of any pro-life advocate. It contains carefully detailed political, scientific and biblical facts which get right to the heart of the pro-life/pro-choice argument. The author takes the focus off the woman and puts it where it rightfully belongs: on life itself. I plan to buy several copies of this book to give away as the need arises.

Dr. Garton continues to bring credible and convincing analysis of the sloganizing of the prochoice movement. This is not a book for the close-minded.

Prochoice people will naturally dislike this book, but for the open-minded prochoice person looking to get an understanding of how some prolife people see the abortion debate, "Who Broke the Baby?" will be quite informative.

At first glance, these slogans hit the core fears of a woman facing an unexpected pregnancy, and feed at her most selfish intentions, that her life is more sacred than any other life. Broken down by Dr. Garton, these slogans are seen in their proper light, as fear-mongering mantras designed by people who are not concerned with her or her unborn baby.

Dr. Garton presents to women that they do have a choice, and shows them how they are being manipulated. Similarly, the media might not have had time to think about this bumper-sticker statements, but "Who Broke the Baby?" gives reporters a chance to know how they are being used.

Yes, there are a lot of issues that are complex for a mother to be to deal with. There is no denying the financial and logistical troubles she may face... but confusing her with the muddled thinking of men and women who think having childen is an insult to femininity is not the answer.

Recommended by C Everett Koop, and consistent with the theologies of both evangelicals and Catholics, Dr. Garton's book transcends denominations as she herself is part of mainline protestants, a Lutheran.

I fully recommend "Who Broke the Baby?" by Jean Staker Garton.

This is a wonderful bible for reading and studying. It has extra things along the edge of the pages. some are explaining the scripture or just pointing something about them out and the other things are quote. For example ALTHOUGH TODAY HE PRUNES MY TWIGS WITH PAIN, YET DOTH HIS BLOOD NOURISH AND WARM MY ROOT: tomorrow I SHALL PUT FORTH BUDS AGAIN AND CLOTHE MYSELF WITH FRUIT. CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI 1830-1894 I think it is a really neat Bible.

I saw this bible on the shelf at a local religious bookstore. It caught my eye, when I wasn't looking for a bible. I leafed through it and was immediately entranced by the center-page text in blue, the simple but not stupid notes that really offered me new perspectives (I've been "into" scripture for decades now), and the prayerful but not sappy tone throughout. For women who want a comfortable bible fit that will still challenge, this is the bible. For women who want a bible they will actually pick up and read and use, it is for you.

A previous reviewer mentioned purple leather. I'd love to get one of those, Amazon!!! I, too, love purple. The one I bought is great, though, and as it was a bit shelf-worn, I asked for and was given a discount.

I bought this for my girlfriend and have gotten to flip through it. I think the NIV translation is the best. This bible has great features and is great just as a study bible but is even better having inserted little passages that relate the scriptures to women.

I am a registered nurse and am frequently asked for clinical information and advice. I've given NurseJean's Guide to several family members who were having surgery. They were able to use it to help prepare questions for their doctor before the surgery. Many people find surgery stressful and they have trouble remembering everything they are told. In my family, we also get differences of opinion among the people who all heard the same information about what was said, so the Guide served as a good reference. I think NurseJean has provided a valuable resource for people who want to be informed consumers. I particularly like the fact that she draws not only from the medical profession for expert advice, but from patient experiences as well. The information is presented in a very straightforward format that non-clinical people can easily understand. I would even recommend the book to health care professionals who are interested in finding effective ways to communicate with their patients.

Read this book if you have a loved one who is facing surgery. It explains in plain English what the patient and caregiver need to know about surgery, what to expect after surgery, and how to prepare the home environment to facilitate healing. I was able to immediately use the information when assisting a family member who was soon-to-be released (prematurely in my opinion) from the hospital after having hip surgery. We were able to understand his limited range of mobility and to make modest changes in his home so that his wife could care for him with limited outside assistance. Without this book, we wouldn't have had a clue. I am convinced that with NurseJean's guidance the patient's frail, elderly wife was able to care for her husband in their home, which is exactly what they both wanted.

On the shelf next to the Bible and a book of Shakespear should be this book. Everyone will benefit from this book. Nursing students should have this book to use as a reference for patient teaching. Families should have this book to refer to in the event a loved one needs surgery. People should have this book because it is a guided tour through healthcare. We the consumers are not always told everything we need to know in order to care for ourselves when the hospitals roll us out to the curb an hour or so after surgery.
Do not wait until the unexpected events arise, get the book now and be prepared. It is crazy to not grab this opportunity (this book)now.
I had the unfortunate experience this summer when I had to rush my husband to the emergency room. He immediately was "under the knife", the doctor called me when it was done and said all went well, that was great. But now what? When can he move, how do I change this dressing, what can he eat? Thank heavens I had this book. No one told us a thing.
Another great thing NurseJean has given us, the consumers, is the power to demand the best from our doctors. She has fueled us with knowledge on what and how we can demand the best service from our healthcare providers. They work for us!
This book is a MUST HAVE. It was heaven sent for everyone.
Buy it, read it, and refer to it forever. The health of us as individuals and the health of our loved ones is worth it.
