I had never even heard of de Antonio, but Randolph Lewis has now sparked my interest in his films, and in American documentary filmmaking more generally. A truly masterful work!

This is the best book ever written concerning Emile Durkheim

This landmark volume honors the 100th anniversary of the publication of Emile Durkheim's milestone book, Le Suicide, often described as one of the three most important works ever written in the social sciences. Lester and the 16 contributors evaluate and reassess the great French sociologist's contributions to social and behavioral science in the light of present-day knowledge and assumptions. Readers who wonder whether Durkheim is still relevant today, whether his work has stood the test of time, will not want to miss this centennial treasury.

This is a wonderful book about a very difficult era in France. It talks about the problems of everyday life, the pains and betrayals in love, and it also explores human nature. It's a great book, and I sincerely recommend anyone who speaks french to read it. I can guarantee that you will not regret it! Thanks again to my great french instructor Mme Lavocat-Dubuis for helping me understand this story and making me appreciate it!!

Peter Kropotkin was one of the major figures of anarchism, and this book offers the reader a wealth of insight into his ideas. While Mikhail Bakunin represented the fire and brimstone revolutionary of anarchism, Kropotkin focused his scientific intellect on making a workable anarchist society. To that end, he rightfully focused a great deal of energy on cooperation and reciprocity as the basis for a workable society. He was far ahead of his time in his understanding of the ideas of mutual aid and cooperation, at the time when capitalist "dog-eat-dog" ideas first came to dominate society.

This book takes a cross-section of his thinking that lets you understand how he came to be such a strong proponent of mutual aid.

Kropotkin's ceaseless attempts at hashing out anarchism in practice and theory are vital for anybody seeking to apply the ideas today. For anyone who considers anarchy synonymous with chaos, destruction, and bloodshed, this book is a must-read, as it should open their eyes to the true ideas behind anarchism.

I bought this book when my daughter was an infant. She's over 4 now, and we still return to Emilie's fingerplays to have a fun rhyme and finger game. The book inculdes beautiful pen drawings of all of the finger positions (like how to make an umbrella or a caterpillar with your fingers), plus music for each rhyme--you can either speak them or sing them. The rhymes are very simple and easy to learn. A great tool for parents and children that will have you both laughing!

Emile Zola is primarily known for his novels. Only one English language collection of Zola's short stories has been available prior to the publication of FOR A NIGHT OF LOVE. Ths is a set of 16 stories published by Oxford University Press under the title The Attack On The Mill And Other Stories.

This current collection brings together three stories that the editors claim have never before been published in English. All three have a romantic theme.

The first, For A Night Of Love, tells the story of a shy young postal worker who falls in love with his beautiful, rich, and haughty neighbor. She ignores him until one night when she needs his help. The story tells how far he will go for a night of love.

The second tale is of a young man, Nantas, who comes to Paris to make his fortune and falls in love with his landlord's daughter. She needs a favor from him, but disdains his love. He goes to extraordinary lengths to win her love, but will he succeed?

These two stories of male desire are followed by Fasting, a story in which Zola takes one of his pokes at the Catholic clergy. It portrays a rich woman's sexual daydreams as she sits in church listening to a sermon on fasting given by a gourmet priest .

All three stories are excellent at portraying 19th Century France and the people of this time. It is our good fortune that these three are now available in the English language. The Foreward gives some insight into Zola's writings and the Introduction some background on the stories. A good collection of stories from one of France's greatest writiers.

This excellent book must be read and earn by all orthopaedic surgeon who treat and understand acetabular fractures. Emille Letournel was a master and also a pioneer in orthopaedic surgery. We learnt the acetabulum from him. The second edition was published in 1993 but it is still a greatfully source. He has described everything which related acetabular fractures, x-rays, results of the operative treatment, aproaches etc., In summary, if you like to treat the fractures of the acetabulum with operative modalities, you must buy one. Thank you Emille Letournel for this great present!

I have this booklet & 7 accompanying cassettes, done in "radio theatre" style. It's quite well done-- there's an actual plot, as followable as one's German comprehension allows. The audio fidelity is quite passable. No Tony Awards in its future, but I can't find fault with it as an instructional aide.

A very insightful book on the prewar period and the actions of the central bankers of that time. Absolute must read!
