Activist talk
Helpful Votes: 0 out of 1 total.
Review Date: 2004-03-30
Let me put a reservation on this little review and say that I am particularly interested in those chapters that treat the subject of journalism, while I have only skimmed through the rest of the book. Kofi Buenor Hadjor has for many years practiced journalism in various settings, both as a reporter, as a journalism teacher (Tanzania School of Journalism) and not the least as the editor of New African. His approach to journalism is controversial because it is an activist and liberation approach which he calls 'committed black journalism'. However, this type of journalism must be understood against the political context of the liberation times of Ghana and other African countries from the 1960s and onwards. Towards this backdrop, Hadjor's book represents an interesting and thought-provoking comment on the journalism profession in African contexts. I can recommend the book as a path to understanding the pre-conditions for the emergence of the independent African media.

Review of Almgren's big regularity paper
Helpful Votes: 1 out of 1 total.
Review Date: 2000-10-14
The publication of the Tex formatted version of Almgren's famous big regularity paper makes the original three-volume, 1700 page paper much easier to read. Especially, since Almgren developed the whole new machinery, it takes time for the beginning readers to become familiar with the terminology and to consult essential materials in the Appendix. Readers who have suffered reading the original three hand typed ``telephone books'' will appreciate this all-in-one book.

As in the title of the book, the paper provides a method to deal with the regularity problem of mass minimizing surfaces in higher codimension. This paper not only gives the optimal upper bound of the Hausdorff dimension of the singular sets, but also provides a possible approach to understand the structure of the singular sets of mass minimizing surfaces. This deep but famous paper contains several ingredients to be understood and explored. It is worthwhile for people who are interested in geometric measure theory to spend some time on reading it.

A good how-to-book on the topic of Personal Magnetism
Helpful Votes: 6 out of 8 total.
Review Date: 1999-01-22
This book gives clear and precise instructions on how to use the 'power' of personal magnetism. With the teachings in this book, such things as influence, telepathy, and suggestion can be made to serve the user of. In terms of occult books in the west, this book--and just about all the other books from the same publisher--Yoga Publication Society are excellent in giving clear instructions without the usual obscure veils meant to illude the inexperienced reader.

Fascinating Read and Research
Helpful Votes: 1 out of 1 total.
Review Date: 2007-06-13
I was entertained and educated with this book and never considered napping to be an art until now. Napping is something we must give ourselves permission to do and to cultivate the habit. With short stories and quotes, along with relaxing pictures, it's an easy read.
As a speaker on child development, I often talk about the value of sleep for a child's mental acuity, development, and behavior. However, now I have a book to recommend to parents so they get their allotment of restorative sleep as well.

A contemporary intellectual reads the New Testament
Helpful Votes: 4 out of 5 total.
Review Date: 1999-04-20
A friend suggested that I read this book because it dealt with the problem of how to regard the New Testament as a book one reads. We respect it, but we have to read it as we read any other book. Hence, the title. I have not sat down to read or study the New Testament in almost thirty years because it came with too much baggage: respect for authority, accept but do not evaluate, revere but do not question. What Beeching does is to apply all the modes of contemporay critical reading plus exceptional knowledge of biblical analysis to make one feel comfortable with this important book. I was fascinated to be invited to see the places where things do not fit together, where things do not work out, to discover that certain passages were addressed to political situations in the first century and have to be read that way. I also appreciated his sensitivity to the historical consequences of the New Testament's treatment of Jews. The result is that I am now re-reading the New Testament and am feeling free study it as I study other books. I wish that I had been taught to read it this way years ago. By approaching it as Beeching suggests, I can appreciate it better. Beeching has enriched my life, and I am grateful to him for doing so.

Good, realistic view of casino gambling for the uninitiated.
Helpful Votes: 4 out of 4 total.
Review Date: 1999-07-10
Very good, easy read that clearly and concisely explains the basics of the various casino games. I found it very useful as it is filled not with just facts, but advice that is meant to keep you out of harms way, which is after all exactly where the casinos would like you to be. For less than the price of your first bet, it's an easier decision than whether to place your bet on the pass or don't pass line

Giroux presents a well reasoned argument about the nature of what knowledge of the poet's life is available from the sonnets. It is both informative and pleasing to read.

An Explanation of all the People Involved in Making a Book
Helpful Votes: 4 out of 4 total.
Review Date: 2001-11-25
I first heard of this book in an editing class. The author shows you all the different people that are involved in the creation of the book. With each person, he gives you a chapter discussing what he or she does and some of the tools he or she uses to do it. From reading this, I now have a much better understanding of what it takes to put a book into my hands.

The book is not immersed in techno-speak that slows down the reading. The flow of words is easy and understandable. I never became lost in the process or found myself going back. It is a solid book.

I would recommend this book to all aspiring editors as well as aspiring writers. Once you know what goes into making a book, the cloud of uncertain and fear that comes with publishing will disappear.
