Lisbeth Schorr has written a first-rate book filled with extensive research on community programs that work. Anyone who is trying to find solutions to problems in their communities will find this resource extremely valuable. I've made it required reading for all my medical students doing a Leadership in Community Medicine elective, and the students have found it not only enormously readable and practical, but many have also purchased their own copies for future reference.

I actually know the author, Daniel Price. As my professor in a class entitled "The Human Situation," Dan adds a particular vision full of vibrancy, light, and poetic significance to a dry and ruthless pursuit like philosophy.

The complexity of the issues at hand are to be dealt with with a certain level of complexity - it may seem an unintelligible mess at first, but the book (and Dan) break the boundaries of thought established by previous thinkers, pointing to a more relevant and provocative movement in the philosophical arena.

The true value of the book is to be measured out in personal evaluation - a timid mind, incapable of qualification of questioning is to be readily offended and prepared to attack on a personal level. "Why, this man is insane. Why, this book is to be burned, as with all great literature."

That's the point. That's its beauty - there is no basic "answer," nor any axiomated place into which all emotions and reactions can be jammed. And people can't deal with it. Their perfect lives may run into a feeling of restlessness.

That's why it's groundbreaking. That's why there's a very small audience. That's why Nietzsche was ostracized, went insane, and died of an STD in a whorehouse. Now, of course, Dan isn't a man of the brothel. Nor does he seem to be too concerned with morality, either.

Radical ideas are the brilliant ideas of tomorrow; any conservative lifestyle leads to an empty life full of limitation. Radicalism eliminates certain bindings of rationality, which bring freedom about much more easily than a restrained, unexamined life.

Buy this book - burn it, frame it, kick it, or keep it on your nightstand. But read it - let it jostle those deeply embedded ideals and tweak them just enough to make you uncomfortable - you'll find it much more worthwhile to have thought about it and acted accordingly than to have never thought it at all.

DO NOT judge this book by its cover!! The factual information in this edition presents wolves in a way that displays their true selves - intellegent, social, and amazing creatures that deserve the opportunity the not only survive, but thrive!

Argues that happiness is related to your moral point of view and that this begins with "man's awareness of the fact of his own transcendence; the recognition that human persons are different from and rise above those utterly material events comprised in the purely physical cosmos." The authors, both prominent scientists, then present scientific evidence to support the transcendent nature of man.

Daniel Mihalyo has conducted a thoughtful and loving study of wood burners. Anyone who has seen an abandoned wood burner rising hauntingly above the overgrowth will appreciate the variety of gorgeously composed photographs taken of the interior and exterior of the structures. If you have never seen a wood burner, this book takes you on a calm journey through time and space after which you will be both intrigued and satisfied. Eventually, wood burners will disappear; Mihalyo has captured their essence.

The essays presented in this book address the process of woker alienation taking place in Russia, leading up to 1917. Many of the essays also talk about the way the Bolsheviks appealed to the alienated workers, especially in Petrograd and Moscow. Historian James Bater talks about the growing demographic and social crisis in Petrograd and Moscow durring and after industrialization. Diane Koenker talks about a similer process growing in Moscow. Ronald Suny and William Rosenberg show in their works how significant these findings, by the previous historians, are in understading of the Russian Revolution and the Bolshevik's rise to power.

this collection of essays moved me to examine the relationships that occur in my own family. saturdays mother was especially moving.

'The Working Musicians Joke Book' is a fun filled laughter hall for everyone. Even if you're not a musician it has good comedy. I highly recomend it for people of 14 years and up. This is because some jokes are a little sour for younger kids.

This book is based on a collection of about 150 pictures of the fair taken by the author's father. The pictures are very good and give a very good idea of the fair to anyone who is truly interested in the fair.

The map of the fair ground is interesting too, with its comparison to the present day Forest Park.

In addition, Mrs. Daniels Birk has explained the activities and events at the fair ground in a very smooth manner, from the eyes of a visitor !!

This is not a detailed narration of the fair. I know there were 45 nations represented at the fair. I was especially looking for any mention about a building on East India, but couldn't find anything about it.

A real good book !

I had to buy this textbook for a first year University History course. I have always had a passion for world history, and as soon as I picked up this book, I had a quick read-through. As I had guessed, I couldn't put the book down! World history had again succeeded at drawing me in again! As the title indicates, this book is about the world in the 20th century, and it focuses in on colonies as they emerge as nation-states in the post-war world. Europe's Asian colonies, the African colonies, and Europe's great Empires are all discussed in great detail. The newly updated 4th edition sheds light on the European Union, the war in Yugoslavia, and the end of apartheid in South Africa. I higly recommend this book for any history enthusiasts out there - it makes for a very interesting read.
