Cohen Books

I FOUND THIS BOOK VERY USEFUL AS I TRAVEL AROUND ON MY VACTION TOURS. I SUGGEST ALL OWN A COPY. PAUL

I feel compelled to review this book because of the many hours I spent enjoying it as a child. The book features multiple cryptids that have been reported throughout North America, most quite recently. Some are quite famous, most notable Bigfoot, but there are a couple which are more obscure such as the Washing DC Demon Cat. It's out of print but if you can track down a copy I recommend buying it to have a few scary stories for your kids.

This book is an excellent, current detailing of the state of the American Community College. It is widely used by administrative professionals in the field of higher education. Regardless of its research base and statistical knowledge, it is still an easy book to read and understand. Anyone who wants to know more about how a community college, in particular, operates needs to read this book. The first four chapters of the book may be a little dry, but the foundational information provided is invaluable. The last chapters leave room for one to think about the future of the community college. This book may also be used by instructors to have a further understanding of how educational institutions work, and could inspire one to take on an administrative role at the community college level or in higher education in general.

This is a wonderful book that can be helpful in many class levels of American History. I personally am using this book in my AP US History class. I find that all facts in the text are completely relavent to the topic being discussed. Bailey also has a way of putting in many little important tidbits and anecdotes that are very humorous and pertain to the subject matter. The book's layout is very well organized. This makes it easy to find any information. In the margins Bailey has put in may quotes from famous historical figures. These quotes always pertain the the subject being discussed and are very helpful when writing essays. The book also does a good job of including the inportance of different ethnic groups in the formation of America.

This is a first rate collection of thinking and analysis of contemporary American Jewry and what makes it what it is. Includes articles by such important thinkers as: Feingold, Wisse, Whitfield,, Glazer, S.M. Cohen, Heilman, Liebman, and Eisen. A mist for anyone interested in the trends and developments among American Jews at the close of the 20th century.

This is a very interesting and very introspective account from behind the scenes in the landmark Cohen v. Cowles supreme court case. Reporters broke their promise to Cohen not to print his name as the person who disclosed public arrest records of the 1982 candidate for Minnesota Lieutenant Governor. Cohen lost his job and was ruined. By contrast the candidate who was the subject of the public records served two terms as lieutenant governor. The candidate for whom Cohen worked went back to being a billionaire businessman.

This book tells the story how Dan Cohen and Elliot Rothenberg won this landmark case in the U.S. Supreme Court.

Though written quite some time ago as a collection of handouts that clinicians could photocopy ad lib for distribution to their patients. The core pages of this book remain a valuable tool. There is a double sided companion sheet for each of the Nationally recommended Well Child Care visits. Each sheet contains information about: Feeding and Nutrition, Body Functions, Growth and Development, Safety, Communication and Discipline. These sheets were approved for use by the American Academy of Family Practice. To date. more than a decade later, no medical specialty body has published succinct sheets that would serve as a focus for communication between parents and clinicians at these visits.

Compared to the book of the same Title but for Parents with a High School Reading Level the content is the same the language is simplified. (Please note with apology that there is one known single word typographical omission on the third page of the breastfeeding handout about the color of stools).

There are three academic personalities involved here. Morton Smith, now dead, was the teacher of both Jacob Neusner and Shaye Cohen. In this review of Neusner's book-length destruction of Morton Smith, Shaye Cohen provides the history of Neusner's relationship with Smith; and in a footnote, the history of his own more favorable relationship with Smith. I am agnostic about Smith; several articles by him are top-drawer. Other works, such as his 1945 dissertation, are, as Neusner declares vindictively, not really the best. Nevertheless, reading past the venom of Neusner's book, and reading Shaye Cohen's review of it, together provide a sense of the topic for a book that is out of print and rarely available.

For the unwary reader, let me say that not Morton Smith, nor Jacob Neusner, nor Shaye Cohen, is known for the kindness with which their critiques are phrased. Smith and Cohen, however, generally did not display the vindictive vituperation in print that often has characterized Neusner. When well-edited, a book of Neusner's has passages of sudden illumination that clarify the religious activity of rabbinic Judaism. When left without an editor, as in preparing a book as camera-ready copy, he allows his work to go to press without proofreading and without exercising even limited control, judgment, or thought for consequences.

This last, the lack of thought for the consequences of his words as works in print, is obvious in his ARE THERE TANNAITIC PARALLELS TO THE GOSPELS?, which I have also read. Shaye Cohen's review briefly clarifies the relationship between Morton Smith and Jacob Neusner, which I found helpful. Cohen then critically evaluates Neusner's claims about a central portion of Smith's dissertation, on the synoptic character of the Mishnah (ca. 210) and Tosefta (unknown date). Cohen's central point is that Neusner mistakes the relationship between Mishnah and Tosefta when he terms the Tosefta an elaboration and commentary on the Mishnah. Cohen demonstrates, with examples from Neusner, the complex relationship that actually obtains between the two texts. He is not as convincing, perhaps because he is being brief, in rehabilitating Smith's description of the Mishnah and Tosefta as "synoptic" works which relied at points on the same shared material.

Because Smith's initiative in disowning Neusner as his student is very well known, this review, which rehabilitates Smith, is a welcome reconsideration. Do we need critical reviews of Neusner's other works of vituperation? I know some more recently active scholars who hope that Neusner takes their work as a target, because his negative attention will count as positive attention in the rest of the scholarly world.

Behind TANNAITIC PARALLELS TO THE GOSPELS, Smith's book, and the Cohen and Neusner evaluations, lies the figure of Smith himself. His stature is attested by the scholars he has parented, for no scholar of the ancient world springs full-grown in understanding by the scholar's own efforts, but rather by the continued attention and correction of someone who is already a first-rank scholar. Thus, we should judge Smith by those scholars he has brought into existence.
