Best Children's Book of the Year

Review Date: 1999-11-28
This is a beautiful story of two boys during the American Civil War, one white and one black. This book brings me to tears every time I read it. In my opinion, it should have received the Newbery Medal the year it was published. Patricia Polacco's best book ever

Unique Reference Work Explores Measurement of Human Strengths
Helpful Votes: 3 out of 3 total.
Review Date: 2007-11-21
I approached this book as a possible resource for our work in organizational surveys, tests, and assessments. It is a comprehensive work that explains the challenges of measuring human strengths, healthy processes and human fulfillment. The editors say their book was written to provide a positive alternative to descriptions of psychosocial and environmental disorders in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual--widely known as DSM-IV. As such, it is not directly a work on industrial psychology. However, we found much here for consideration. Some of the articles directly address career and workplace issues, such as "Measuring Career Self-Efficacy: Promoting Confidence and Happiness at Work" and "Vocational Psychology Assessment: Positive Human Characteristics Leading to Positive Work Outcomes." In a broader sense, however, the book brings together massive amounts of research on the problems and possibilities of assessing what can go right with people and within organizations.

Highly recommended as scholarly reference material.

a case study worth reading
Helpful Votes: 2 out of 2 total.
Review Date: 2000-07-14
This book was conceived to test Phillipson's linguistic imperialism theory (1992). For this purpose scholars in a range of countries were asked to evaluate the status of English in their home countries. The book concludes with an excellent summary by Fishman which shows that linguistic imperialism is too simplistic to account for complex language eccologies.

This is an excellant book on the private life of Benjamin Franklin. You see, Ben retired in his early 40's and this book tells, quite eloquently I might add, the story of his personal life. I would highly reccomend it.

The Case for Privatization
Helpful Votes: 1 out of 1 total.
Review Date: 2006-04-12
If anyone has any doubts about the overwhelming benefits of privatization in Latin America, they should read this book. As politicians like Kirchner, Morales and Chavez to a certain degree argue against what they see as the social cost of privatization, this book clearly shows that if the goal is to have increased state revenues aimed at social spending, privatization will more likely than nationalization bring that about through increased tax revenues (private companies in general pay more taxes than state companies), sustained job creation and reduced liabilities such as public debt accumulated by inefficient money-losing state companies.

The authors and editors deserve praise for having produced a well-written book on the topic, with ample documentation and no political agenda beyond looking at the myths and reality of privatization in Latin America.

(This is an excerpt of a longer review I wrote in Latin Business Chronicle, March 2006).

Overview of chinese religion from original sources.
Helpful Votes: 12 out of 12 total.
Review Date: 2001-03-12
Religions of China in Practice is a wonderful smorgasbord of philosophy, religious stories, poetry and history. The editor sets out to provide an overview of the three main religious traditions of China: Buddhism, Confuciansism and Daoism. This is accomplished with a pastiche of short readings. Readings are arranged according to content rather than by religion and fall into four categories. Sections cover the "Unseen World", human relations with the "Unseen world" (including communication and ritual) and the conduct of day to day affairs.

Each passage is individually translated, and is accompanied by a short introduction furnished by the translator. Fairly extensive additional reading lists are provided at the end of each reading and provide a valuable resource if your interest is piqued by a particular piece. A very extensive general introduction ties the entire book together and provides background information for readers of general interest, who are not scholars in the field of eastern religion.

I, myself, am not a scholar in eastern religion and come to the field mainly through general interest. I was therefore pleasantly surprised at the readability of this book. Some of the poetic pieces (for example - The Seduction Songs of the Perfected) were exquisitely beautiful. Other passages, while less stirring provided me with a clearer understanding of the intricate relationships between the religions of China; something I have often found difficult to understand. I would highly recommend this book to those with more than a passing interest in eastern religion. Although I am not necessarily qualified to speak, I suspect it would also be an invaluable resource to the serious student, given its fairly extensive scholarly accoutrements. Personally, I am looking forward to reading the other books in this collection.

Mystical Naturalist
Helpful Votes: 2 out of 3 total.
Review Date: 1999-11-04
Barry Lopez is a top-notch naturalist, but his writing is more mystical than scientific. His musings on the thoughts and dreams of herons are glorious, and he brings out the divine in nature like few can. You will want to join him at riverside after reading this book. River Notes is a mix of profound observations of nature and provocative human stories, united by the river that flows through it all in flood and drought.

Review Date: 1999-04-29
This is one of my all-time favorite bits of radio drama, ever. It is a full production, with excellent sound quality.

It is a wonderful pastiche of science fiction, silliness, mysticism, and ancient legend, all rolled into one, and presented by "Ruby, the Galactic Gumshoe."

Highly recommended to those with an imagination.
