Collaboratively written by military chaplains Timothy Demy and Gary P. Stewart , In The Name Of God: Understanding The Mindset Of Terrorism is a comprehensive and informative inquiry into the phenomenon of religious terrorism throughout recent history, from cyberterrorism and information warfare to the September 11 attacks to the threat of nuclear bombs. Addressing both factual events and the religious questions that people ask in the wake of tragic loss, In The Name Of God: Understanding The Mindset Of Terrorism is a chilling and close look at what is really going on behind today's terrible headlines.

I found this book a very valuable resource to look at the history of why what (mostly) men do in work is considered more valuable than what women do, why they are generally paid more. (i.e. why male tree trimmers make more money than female nurses, why women with college educations make less on the average than [...]educated males)...this is an older book so things have improved some, but there's still the difference.
Tavris and Offir found cross cultural similarities of the bias against what women do, i.e. the hunting that men have done was valued more than the gathering and cooking that women did...yet both were important for survival.

I highly recommend the book.

Printed in 1978 this book presents a view of Iran before the revalution. Probibly pro goverment at that time. Large color photos of (then) current projects and seens of art, articture and culture. With lots of text and footnotes. Large hardcover.

this book was written during the late shah's time. it clearly describes the fast pace iran was on and how wonderful this country is. Grow your own mind and dont listen to what the media wants you to see about iran its people and its amazing culture and natural resources.

President Jimmy Carter has been quoted as saying that life is not fair. The statement is certainly true as it relates to Ms. Hospital. It isn't fair that one person should have so much talent. On the other hand, we can all be glad that she keeps writing extraordinary short stories and novels. ISOBARS contains fifteen short stories, all of which are as good as we have come to expect from this writer. They are about loss, sorrow, violence, missed opportunities. While many of the men in these stories behave very badly-- law enforcement officers rape a trusting school teacher, and boys steal the clothes of a teacher and her two female students while they are skinnydipping-- many of the characters, both men and women, have a strong resilience and courage, even in defeat.

Ms. Hospital takes the reader through a landmine of terrific words and phrases. The past is a "Dead Letter Office." The children of a man's second marriage "had not yet reached the age of disappointment." An old man in a rooming house has been "left stranded by old age and widowerhood." His housemates "came and went, anything could claim them: death, a son or daughter whose conscience got the upper hand for a while, loss of memory." Another character has "learned to let happiness come and go, without anxiety. It always did keep coming again, in new and surprising shapes." One could do worse than have that philosophy.

I am always so amazed and undone by what this writer does with so few words. In the last selection in this book, "Here and Now," in six and a half pages she tells a story of death and loss that will convince you she's as good a living writer as there is. In Toronto, Allison, a college professor who at fifty has just learned that her mother has died in Sydney, consoles Walter, a ninety-year-old retired professor, who remembers the loss of his son who has died in an accident in Australia. They both are awash with memory and sorrow-- as is the reader.

Ms. Turner is an amazing writer.

A brilliant volume of short stories dealing with multiple acts and varieties of violence and pain and how people deal with them. From the chilling "The Last of the Hapsburgs", which tells of the assaults on women's attempts to construct a zone of solidarity and non-competitive friendship, to the droll "The Chameleon Condition", that imagines how it would be if a philandering professor involuntarily displayed his responses to the world through changes in skin color, the volume ranges through anger to a wise appreciation of our efforts to erect bulwarks against the depradations of time and loss. Hospital's sharp and clever prose never meanders and each story manages to surprise and ring new changes on her basic themes.

I bought this book for an employee who had decided to move from sunny San Diego back to the town where she grew up, Minneapolis.
It's cold there and this book was quite appropriate. She loved it, as did others in our work group. For 5 bucks, don't hesitate - this is a great gift.

Cathy McGlynn and Bonnie Stewart have put together a collection of one-liners sure to tickle your funny bone and warm your heart. Order one for yourself and a friend who lives in the South!!

A missing piece of the Native American literature. So many stories are about the removal, or the myths. But how did the Cherokee actually live? What did they eat? What kind of games did they play? This book expertly deals with these everyday issues.

It is a clearly written book with bright, graceful illustrations. I enjoyed reading it to my daughters several times. And now they are older they enjoy learning Cherokee words.

An excellent book...and one every librarian should consider having.

I was astonished to read of something that pertained to my family history. I am so amazed by Daniel Pennington's writing's. He made me feel like I was there watching this in real life. This will be a great tool to teach my children about my heritage.

If you are at all interested in Jack Nicklaus and can't, by time or distance, visit his museum in Columbus, Ohio (on the campus of Ohio State University), then this book will be a nice visual replacement. Well organized, this book follows Jack's entire career as well as his relationships with his teacher, Jack Grout, his parents Charlie and Helen Nicklaus and his wife Barbara. Especially nice are several pages of reproduced "mementos" in cellophaned envelopes for easy retrival and review.

I would recommend this book highly to all golfers who have any admiration for the Golden Bear.

It sounds "trite" and simple to say it, but this book is a "must" for those who love golf and admire the qualities Jack Nicklaus brought to the game, talent, work ethic, competitiveness, success, and class. The epitome of what the game is meant to be.

There are other, more indepth, books on Jack Nicklaus, but this one has it all, enough to appreciate the man, who is, what he stands for and his journey, a journey that has been a credit to the game of golf and has inspired many of us who have followed his career and the values and principles he has demonstrated so effectivly.

There are many replica mementos, a letter from Tiger Woods, copies of his scorecards, Masters invitations and such that give this book a nice touch, a nice feel. Overall it is a comprehensive keepsake album of Jack, his career and the game of golf in his day.

Simply put: "A must" for those who love golf and admire the Golden Bear.

I think this book was the best Sweet Valley Kids book so far. My favorite part was when Jesssica, Steven, and Elizabeth were playing tricks on Molly there new babysitter.

This is a great book because it's a love story. I liked stories that have people who love each other but get in a fight then make up.

This is a wonderful book about an extraordinary man and if Steph liked this book I am sure you will as well.

This book was very good. The fact that the pictures really showed his entire life was refreshing. You felt like you were there throughout his life and were experiencing the events of his life with him. After reading the book I wish I would have had the opportunity to meet Jimmy Stewart. This book was a tribute to his life.

Again, journalist Michael Harris brilliantly recreates an involved Canadian crime story. I thought this book was a fantastic read that provided an objective, third-person point-of-view of the details of all of the ex-RCMP officer Patrick Kelly's alleged criminal affairs including the mysterious death of his wife, who fell from a downtown Toronto condo balcony. I was immediately glued to the book after opening up to the first page.

I have known the subject of this work, Patrick Kelly, on a professional, personal and private nature for a quarter of a century. I had the pleasure of working with him and found him to be a dedicated professional during that time. Since his departure from police work, through his trial, conviction and sentencing, I have remained his friend and confidant - always staying in touch with him and assisting him in any way possible. He is currently in the final stages of an appeal of his entire case by the Supreme Court of Ontario , Canada. I have read any/all types of transcripts, statements, police reports and personal profiles of this man. I believe in his innocence and remain his friend. Mr. Harris, by virtue of his professionalism, open mindedness and thorough examination of all the facts available has produced a concise, accurate and forthright compilation of the facts of the case and how it was handled at all levels. His candid manner of presentation, coupled with his intimate knowledge on all levels supplies readers with interesting, compelling and truly memorable material, allowing them in the final analysis to form their own opinions.
