Beautiful, reassuring, empowering advice for parents
Helpful Votes: 5 out of 5 total.
Review Date: 2001-01-18
Talking to children about sex can be a sticky wicket -- and evaluating how children are being taught this subject in school is even stickier. Parents are easily polarized by this subject, but this beautiful document from the Pontifical Council is balanced and unifying. It is also very specific in its recommendations, which is very helpful for both parents and educators. If the Catholic Church had a "marketing department," every Catholic parent would have a copy of this document. It's probably the single most important document out of Rome for a parent to have read. The fact that it is so recent is a bonus. Catholic parents should not only buy a copy, they should take it to their pastors, their Catholic school principals, etc. and brainstorm for ways to see the document distributed more widely. (In other words, don't buy one copy, buy ten and share!) Despite the subtitle, the guidelines within this document include directives specifically for "sex education" (or biology, human reproduction -- whatever it's called, it's the same thing) in schools, though it is clear that the Church's first choice is to see the subject taught one on one, at home.

Absolutely spectacular landscapes
Helpful Votes: 10 out of 10 total.
Review Date: 1999-09-13
This is an absolutely gorgeous coffee table book featuring a wide variety of scenic landscapes of the Appalachian Trail. The spectacular photos, rich with color, take you on a journey through this beautiful area.

Muench's trademark photography of water in motion is awesome. There are peaceful ponds, trickling streams, raging rivers, & cascading waterfalls. Brilliantly colored autumn leaves & fog covered mountains are also in abundance.

You also get a close up look at a wide variety of flowers in bloom including iris, trillium, & lady's slippers. There are enchanting lush green forests and towering rocks that stand like huge sculptures in the rugged landscape.

There is also an introduction with a history of the Appalachian Trail. Each photo takes an entire page with location information is given below it. Get this book & I promise you won't be disappointed.

Collected articles on fantasy lit and contemporary culture
Helpful Votes: 1 out of 1 total.
Review Date: 2004-09-28
In the opening article, Thomas Morrisey remarks that although the Conference took place before 9/11 and the subsequent war in Iraq and rise in terrorist incidents around the world, these developments have not extinguished the urge for utopia. He quotes a Carl Freedman from his critique of writings of the philosopher Ernst Bloch: "[Utopia is not imagined] in the future...by mere chronological forecasting, or in mechanistic or philistine notions of bourgeois 'progress,' but rather as the future is the object of hope, of our deepest and most radical longings." The following 14 essays, most by professors in fields of English, write about this "hope" as it is inherent in or reflected in different types of literature in different periods, from Kurt Vonnegut's "Player Piano," David Mamet's play "The Water Engine," Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein," to William Gibson's "Neuromancer," among many others. As the diverse works evidence, the utopian vision rising out of hope has at times been portrayed as resulting in dystopian conditions. Most of the essays focus on single works or a couple. A few deal with the topic as found in areas such as writings by women or romantic fantasy, as seen in the writings of Ursula K. Le Guin or Tolkein. By taking a long historical view of this genre which has become especially popular in today's technological, futuristic age as well as in-depth critical views on some of the most popular and influential works, the collected articles bring a new appreciation of the utopian fantastic literature. It is no longer seen as essentially escapism or fantasy, but as central to the modern psyche.

Solov'ev in renewed Contexts
Helpful Votes: 1 out of 1 total.
Review Date: 2005-05-23
Vladimir Solov'ev: Reconciler and Polemicist by International Vladimir Solov'ev Conference, William Peter Van Den Bercken, Manon De Courten, Evert Van Der Zweerde (Peeters) Vladimir Solov'ëv (1853-1900) is regarded as the most original and systematic of the Russian philosophers in the 19th century. Ηe has once again become the subject of international scholarly attention both in Slavic countries and the West. This volume contains selected papers pre¬sented at the international conference on Vladimir Solov'ëv held at Nijmegen University, The Netherlands, in September 1998. The scope of this conference was wide-ranging, dealing with theological, metaphysical, philosophical and historical themes.
Though SοΙον'ëv's broad intellectual activity defies any strict attempt at categorisation, the editors have classified its major themes under the dual characteristic of reconciliation and polemics. Solov'ëv was pas¬sionately committed to the reconciliation of all beings under the idea of all-unity, which he attempted to achieve by engaging in uncompromis¬ing polemics with his contemporaries.
The thirty contributors to this volume are specialists from Russia, ,Ukraine, Bulgaria, Western Europe and the United States. The volume makes a significant contribution to the intellectual reassessment of Vladimir Solov'ëv since the rediscovery of his philosophical heritage in his own homeland in the late 1980s.

A Note from the Co-Author
Helpful Votes: 2 out of 2 total.
Review Date: 2006-01-25
On November 24, 1947 the heads of all the movie studios gathered in a private suite in New York's plush Waldorf-Astoria Hotel. One month earlier, the House Un-American Activities Committee had held hearings into Communist influence in American movies, eventually indicting ten men for refusing to name names. Now, just before Thanksgiving, the moguls got together to decide how to keep the Government's hands out of Hollywood's pockets. It was a secret meeting; no notes were taken, no minutes were kept, and it was never discussed afterward. But 24 hours later they emerged from the room having invented the Blacklist. This all-star play is a dramatic speculation on what went on in that room.
-- Nat Segaloff (co-author of "The Waldorf Conference" with Daniel M. Kimmel and Arnie Reisman, which explains the five stars)
