Summary: Paine's work and life is the embodiment of human rights - he was exiled from England - fled to USA where he helped with the constitution - he was invited to France to help the new revolutionary constitution of 1789. He is a colossus in modern world history and his value can never be estimated high enough. A remarkable man who desired very simple but unattainable things - decent treatment for all. Paine's Declaration is a must for any student of politics or just anyone who cares about their fellow human beings...

Summary: Design For the Real World is a must read for any designer, in any discipline. This book is about one thing; honesty. The honest use of materials and having an honest approach are at the heart of Papanek's fundamental laws on how anything should be designed. His views on ecology, recycling and the social affects of design were truely ahead of his time. His structures for problem solving, brainstorming techniques and idea generation are equally amazing. A book that should be re-read every couple of years to realign your design approach and ensure you're not just making things worse.

Summary: Although his heart is in the right place, Victor Papanek's latest book does not read convincingly and does not live up to the high standards of his seminal work Design for the Real World. The Green Imperative unfortunately includes significant errors, for example the diagram on p. 94 (Thames and Hudson paperback edition) purporting to show how to determine the golden rectangle, is incorrect. However, the book does cover a wide range of topics and concepts which are highly relevant to ecology and ethics in design and architecture.

Comments: All about LOGO - how it was invented and how it works
Amazon Link
Summary: This is the best book I have ever read on how to assist people to learn for themselves. Papert began his work by collaborating with Jean Piaget, and then applied those perspectives in a self-programming language designed to help children learn math and physics. Papert explains Piaget's work and provides case studies of how the programming language, LOGO, can help. He provides a wonderful contrasting explanation of the weaknesses of how math and physics are usually taught in schools. I learned quite a few things from this that I did not know before. People are very good at developing theories about why things work the way they do. I knew that these theories are almost always wrong. What I did not realize is that if you give the person a way to test their theory, the person will keep devising new theories until they hit on one that works. What is usually missing in education is the means to allow that testing to occur. An especially imaginative part of this book were the discussions of how to create theory testing solutions that are much simpler and easier to apply than any school problem you ever saw in these subjects. Papert works from a very fundamental and deep understanding of math and physics to reach the heart of the most useful thought processes for applying these subjects. It is thrilling to read about what you have known for many years, and to suddenly see it in a totally different and improved perspective. Another benefit I got from this book were plenty of ideas for how to help my teenage daughter with her math. She is very verbal, and Papert points out that math seldom teaches a vocabulary for talking about math. As a result, she memorizes a lot and gets dissociated from the subject. I got a lot of ideas for how to encourage her to personalize the concepts and problems by moving her own body. From that I realized that I often solve the same kinds of problems by recalling physical situations I have been in. But I have failed to help her make that connection because I was unaware of it on a conscious level. If you want to improve as a learner, help others learn better and faster, or simply want to understand more about different ways to think, this is a great book. I hope that all teachers get a chance to read and apply it. Enjoy learning more!

A trente ans, Sugawara Akitada croupit toujours au poste de fonctionnaire subalterne au ministère de la Justice. Aussi, lorsque son ancien professeur de droit Hirata l'investit d'une chaire à l'Université Impériale, il accepte la mission avec empressement. Aidé de son dévoué secrétaire Seimei et de Tora, son homme de confiance, il est chargé de démêler une ténébreuse affaire de chantage... Fraudes, tricheries, suicide d'élève, disparitions... Entre intrigues et rivalités, l'ambiance est délétère. A qui profite le crime ? Lorsque deux meurtres sont commis coup sur coup, l'enquête d'Akitada prend un tour quqqi inattendu que dangereux.

Summary: This is the story of the village of Foxton, in Cambridgeshire. The author studied archaeological excavations, oral tradition, manor court rolls, land tax returns, wills, bishops' registers and many other records, in order to build up a picture of the life, work, clothes, food and pastimes of the villagers, from the first traces of human settlement two thousand years ago, to the present day.

Summary: Partnoy's previous book described his experiences in the trenches selling dodgy derivatives to unsuspecting clients. This book is a wider survey of the derivatives scandals that the banking world has seen. It is great to have such a history and gives a sense or perspective when new scandals hit the papers. However not everybody will agree with his conclusions as to how to fix the system. The book is well written, it is relatively free of jargon, and the content justifies the length - unlike many other business books you never feel that the book has been stretched thin. Highly recommended.

Summary: I think the author says in the preface that many of the ideas crop up again in later books and I think perhaps it would be better to stick to those later works. I bought this book because I had read all the later stuff and although there were some interesting new thoughts and anecdotes I'm still not sure what it was really all about. My feeling was that the ideas presented lack cohesion and seem to be a collection of notes that form the basis of later writings such as 'a mathematician reads the newspaper'. But if you are a big Paulos fan it may appeal.

The anatomy of fascism Robert O. Paxton

Summary: From the author of Vichy France, a fascinating, authoritative history of fascism in all its manifestations, and how and why it took hold in certain countries and not in others. What is fascism? Many authors have proposed succinct but abstract definitions. The author of this book prefers to start with concrete historical experience. He focuses more on what fascists did than on what they said. Their first uniformed bands beat up "enemies of the nation," such as communists and foreign immigrants, during the tense days after 1918 when the liberal democracies of Europe were struggling with the aftershocks of World War I. Fascist parties could not approach power, however, without the complicity of conservatives willing to sacrifice the rule of law for security. The author makes clear the sequence of steps by which fascists and conservatives together formed regimes in Italy and Germany, and why fascists remained out of power elsewhere. Fascist regimes were strained alliances. While fascist parties had broad political leeway, conservatives preserved many social and economic privileges. Goals of forced national unity, purity, and expansion, accompanied by propaganda driven public excitement, held the mixture together. War opened opportunities for fascist extremists to pursue these goals to the point of genocide. The author shows how these opportunities manifested themselves differently in France, in Britain, in the Low Countries, and in Eastern Europe, and yet failed to achieve supreme power. He goes on to examine whether fascism can exist outside the specific early twentieth century European setting in which it emerged, and whether it can reappear today. This book, based on a lifetime of research, will have a lasting impact on our understanding of twentieth century history.

Summary: We are in England in the 1660s. Charles II has been restored to the throne following years of civil war and Cromwell's short-lived republic. Oxford is the intellectual seat of the country, a place of great scientific, religious, and political ferment. A fellow of New College is found dead in suspicious circumstances. A young woman is accused of his murder. We hear the story of the death from four witnesses: an Italian physician intent on claiming credit for the invention of blood transfusion; the son of an alleged Royalist traitor; a master cryptographer who has worked for both Cromwell and the king; and a renowned Oxford antiquarian. Each tells his own version of what happened. Only one reveals the extraordinary truth. With rights sold for record-breaking sums around the world, An Instance of the Fingerpost is destined to become a major international publishing event. Deserving of comparison to the works of John Fowles and Umberto Eco, Iain Pears's novel is an ingenious tour de force: an utterly compelling historical mystery with a plot that twists and turns and keeps the reader guessing until the very last page.

Summary: Encore un guide des meilleures adresses Internet, oui, mais avec des atouts qui ne manquent pas d'attirer l'attention : son grand format tout d'abord, clair et pratique, et également la présence de copies d'écran de qualité (et en couleurs) de la quasi-totalité des sites web présentés. Les 300 pages de ce livre débutent par une introduction pratique sur la meilleure façon de naviguer. Elles sont accompagnées d'un CD-Rom permettant l'accès direct aux sites présentés dans l'ouvrage. On regrettera toutefois la trop petite quantité d'adresses commentées (2 500), goutte d'eau dans l'océan Internet... En résumé, si la quantité est votre moteur de recherche, vous vous orienterez plutôt vers le "Guide 2001 des sites Internet" ; dans le cas contraire, la couleur et le grand format de ce déjà célèbre guide édité par Microsoft sauront vous combler et vous satisfaire.

Comments: Concerning Computers, Minds and the Laws of Physics

Summary: At First glance, the topics covered by Roger Penrose may seem unconnected, but incredibly, he manages to connect them seamlessly, and then reaches astounding conclusions about the implications for any theory of everything or any artificial intelligence. On the way, Penrose covers such diverse topics as Turing machines, Tensors and General Relativity, the wave equation and the inner workings of the brain. Thankfully, he explains all of these concepts with such clarity that prior knowledge of them and a degree in mathematics are unnecessary, to gain a full understanding of the book, and the occasional differential equations are not relevant to the theme of the book, and indeed should not discourage any potential reader. Of course, even if you do have good knowledge of the concepts introduced, the book is still a fantastic read, just to see how Penrose links the concepts introduced and reaches conclusions on them. The book is also rather different to typical books about contemporary physics, which hail Superstring theories as the theory of everything. Penrose does not speak in depth about the newest forms of physics, but instead follows his conclusions from proven physics, and although he makes few specific predictions about the Theory of Everything, he does give a complete overview of the main features that he feels a Theory of Everything should contain. The fact that the conclusions are followed through from the physics explained in the book makes the conclusions much more justifiable than those of Superstring theories, even if you disagree with Penrose's final conclusion. Although the book does not contain cutting edge physics, such as Superstring theory, this does not detract from the overall theme of the book, and indeed the speculations made by Penrose about the Theory of Everything are just as interesting as those in many books about Superstring theory. Overall, the Emperor's New Mind is a challenging read, but delivers a complete tour of 20th Century mathematics and physics, as well as a taster of neurology, that leaves the reader feeling both enlightened and eager to learn more. Outstanding!

Date Added: 22 Jun 2009

Summary: At the core of most any deep inquiry, one finds epistemology, questions about how one knows and what one can know. Pepper deeply penetrates the mysteries of epistemology. Having taken an undergraduate degree in philosophy, I can certify that he has successfully distilled the essence of such a degree in 348 very readable pages. If you don't have time to read Plato, Aristotle, Descartes, Hegel, and William James (all of whom I highly recommend), read World Hypotheses. Pepper lucidly communicates the basic world view of these and many other important philosophers.

Leisure : The Basis of Culture - The philosophical act Josef Pieper
Date Added: 1 Sep 2015
Amazon Link
Summary: One of the most important philosophy titles published in the twentieth century, Joseph Pieper's Leisure, the Basis of Culture is more significant, even more crucial than it was when it first appeared fifty years ago. Pieper shows that Greeks understood and valued leisure, as did the medieval Europeans. He points out that religion can be born only in leisure. Leisure that allows time for the contemplation of the nature of God. Leisure has been, and always will be, the first foundation of any culture. He maintains that our bourgeois world of total labor has vanquished leisure, and issues a startling warning: Unless we regain the art of silence and insight, the ability for nonactivity, unless we substitute true leisure for our hectic amusements, we will destroy our culture and ourselves. These astonishing essays contradict all our pragmatic and puritanical conceptions about labor and leisure; Joseph Pieper demolishes the twentieth-century cult of work as he predicts its destructive consequences.

Summary: "The Idealist's Survival Kit" is a series of 75 short reflections on mindfulness in action designed to support humanitarian professionals and volunteers in addressing the specific themes and issues that they are likely to encounter in their work. "The Idealist's Survival Kit" is built on the premises that changing the world starts from within and that personal development and global development are interlinked. Informed by academic research on humanitarian studies and aid workers' lifestyle, as well as organizational psychology and studies on burnout, Alessandra Pigni offers concrete help to aid workers. She shares their personal stories of working on the frontlines, gathered over years of interaction with humanitarian professionals and backed up by cutting-edge research, to offer antidotes to burnout, loss of motivation or purpose/meaning, and other challenges that aid workers often face. Getting to know ourselves, setting appropriate boundaries, extending respect to oneself and colleagues--these are the conditions that allow all of us to engage with any situation with more awareness, openness, and compassion for ourselves and others. The reflections focus on aid workers' well-being and connect personal and global development.

Summary: Reading this book left me in a state of shock. Like a lot of people, I always thought that 'we' were the good guys, and that our governments, while not whiter-than-white, were at least a fairly light grey. But the evil (there's no other word) perpetrated by our leaders, as described in this book, is of a type that I thought only existed in movies and the heads of conspiracy lunatics. But Pilger outlines it, documented fact by documented fact. I never cry, but I lost count of the times I wept as I read this book. For me, it's been a totally life-changing experience. The world I thought I knew has been turned totally upside down, and I'm left with the challenge of how to integrate this knowledge and DO something about it. I'll end this review, because if I really start writing about the book, I won't know where to stop. But if you live in the Western World, you MUST read this book and discover what atrocities are being carried out in your name (and financed by your taxes). And it's a grave shock to find out that by purchasing products that are household names, you're helping to create a living hell for people who are already poorer than we can begin to imagine. The book is very readable (and re-readable). I recommend it more highly than anything else I've read for years.

Summary: Why do fools fall in love? Why does a man's annual salary, on average, increase £375 with each inch of his height? When a crack dealer guns down a rival, how is he just like Alexander Hamilton, whose face is on the 10-dollar bill? How do optical illusions function as windows on the human soul? Cheerful, cheeky, occasionally outrageous MIT psychologist Steven Pinker answers all of the above and more in his marvellously fun, awesomely informative survey of modern brain science. Pinker argues that a combination of Darwin's theories and some canny computer programs are the key to understanding ourselves--but he also throws in apt references to "Star Trek, Star Wars, The Far Side", history, literature, W.C. Fields, Mozart, Marilyn Monroe, surrealism, experimental psychology and Moulay Ismail the Bloodthirsty and his 888 children. If "How the Mind Works" were a rock show, tickets would be scalped for £100. This book deserved its spot at the top of the bestseller lists. It belongs on a short shelf alongside such classics as "Darwin's Dangerous Idea: Evolution and the Meanings of Life", by Daniel C. Dennett, and "The Moral Animal: Why We Are the Way We Are: The New Science of Evolutionary Psychology", by Robert Wright. Pinker's startling ideas pop out as dramatically as those hidden pictures in a Magic Eye 3D stereogram poster, which he also explains in brilliantly lucid prose.

Summary: This twist on the way we see reality, thinly disguised as a journey down the Hudson River with an amoral woman (although a lot hangs on whether or not she is amoral ) is absorbing. His investigation of her is both intellectual and biological. This is told against a background of Native American culture vs. the European view complete with hallucinogens and teepees. It is, of course, a continuation of Pirsig's unique perspective on Quality (his capitalisation not mine) as started in "Zen and the Art". Phaedrus rides again. While the characters are fascinating it is the narrator who really capture your interest - more hang ups than Bowie's wardrobe. His take on Quality is quirky and, while I get much of it, other chunks just don't quite hang together for me. However, there are themes and ideas that seem so blatantly right that you have to consider all his assertions for nuggets of obscure truth. I only saw the end coming 'cause I counted the pages. Wow! Is this genius or flawed-genius? It's a good read\rant anyway and prods mercilessly at the grey matter.

Summary: Before reviewing Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, let me mention that most people will either love or hate the book. Few will be indifferent. Those who will love the book will include those who enjoy philosophy, especially those who are well read in that subject; people who ride and maintain their own motorcycles; readers who are interested in psychology, particularly in terms of the mass hypnosis of social concepts; individuals who are curious about the line we draw between sanity and insanity; and people who want to think about how to deal with troubling personal situations, especially as a parent. As someone who has all of these interests and perspectives, the book fit my needs very well. Those who will dislike the book are people who like lots of action in their novels, dislike the subjects described above, and who want easy reading. This book is very thick with concepts, ideas, metaphors, and layering which reward careful reading and thought. Most text books are considerably easier to read and understand. Few modern novels are any more difficult to read from an intellectual and emotional perspective. Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance has several story lines that intertwine to create a synthesis of thought and experience: - a father and young son take a motorcycle trip from the Midwest to California - the father has an internal dialogue with himself about what he observes about the people around him and their engagement with life and technology - the father attempts to reconstruct the ideas and perspective he had before being treated as a mental patient (which treatment destroyed and distorted his memory and personality) - the father looks at the great philosophers of western and eastern civilization and attempts to integrate their thoughts into an aesthetic built around our ability to know quality when we see and experience it - the father deals with the incipient signs of mental instability in his son and himself. The book is almost impossible to characterize, but let me try anyway. Perhaps the closest book to this one is Hermann Hesse's Siddharta. At the same time, there is also a strong flavor of Zen and the Art of Archery. On the Road by Jack Kerouac covers some of the same intellectual and emotional territory. John Steinbeck's Of Mice and Men considers some of the same questions of personal perspective. In terms of challenging the constrictions of society, there is also an element of The Man in the Gray Flannel Suit here. What is most remarkable about the book is the way that it pinpoints the spiritual vacuum in the pursuit of more and shinier personal items. Unlike many books from this time, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance upholds a concept of nobility and worth connected to pursuing material progress in ways that reflect eliminating low quality and replacing it with high quality. Think of this as being like the joy of craftsmanship, compared to the dullness of the assembly line. By setting high standards, expanding those standards, sharing those standards with others, and inspiring people to experience life more fully, we can move forward spiritually as well as intellectually. The motorcycle maintenance details connect these abstractions back to the practical issues of every day, as we roll along across country with the author and his son dealing with the realities of keeping our bike running where the repair and parts options are very limited. The book's afterward is particularly interesting, in which Mr. Pirsig opines about why this book has had such great and lasting appeal and tells you what happened after the book ends. Ultimately, I felt uplifted by the high respect that Mr. Pirsig has for his readers. He takes us very seriously, thinks we are intelligent, and pays us the compliment of believing that we can learn to fundamentally change all of our perspectives and experiences. After you finish this book (if you decide to read it), I suggest that you think about where you disengaged from the challenges, tasks, and people around you. Then, pick out one area and get deeply involved. As you master that one, take on another. And so on. Soon, you will have new and greater respect for yourself . . . and more rewarding relationships. Get your hands dirty!

Complete Tales and Poems Edgar Allan Poe
Dewey: 818.309
Date Added: 26 Mar 2009
Amazon Link
Summary: Despite the title, this volume is not a complete collection of Poe's tales or poems, although *most* of them are present. His essays, reviews and miscellania are almost completely absent. There is no introduction, no notes and nothing in the way of commentary. The absence of this latter can make reading difficult, as Poe made frequent use of French, Latin, Greek and Hebrew quotations, and also employed obscure and unfamiliar words and mythological allusions. However, the stories and poems are presented in a logical order, those with similar themes being clustered together. There are other compilations of Poe available (with lower prices) which contain basically the same material. This book is not of exceptional quality; the print used (at least in my copy) smudges, and the text contains a number of printing errors. On the quality of Poe's fiction itself (rather than this particular volume) he cannot be faulted. A true master of every literary style to which he turned his hand, Poe elevated the short story to an artform and even created the detective fiction genre. Many writers since owe him a huge debt.

Summary: This is a great selection of 22 short stories by Edgar Allan Poe. There are loads of classics, including `Murders in the Rue Morgue', `The Black Cat', and three stories which I always remember because of the films with Vincent Price: `The Fall of the House of Usher', `The Masque of the Red Death' and `The Pit and the Pendulum'.

Dewey: 190
Date Added: 4 Feb 2009

Summary: Polanyi continues where Gestalt psychology left off, claiming, as Kant also did, that perception is an active reformer of experience (in other words, the mind actively creates meanings out of phenomena at all times). He agrees again with Kant that the mind is not a tabula rasa on which experience writes but rather it is the presupposed structures of the mind (subsidiary and focal awareness) that form our perception of the world. The author eventually leads us to the question of epistemology itself, "How do we know what we know?" Polanyi believes that via tacit thought, say knowing how to play a piece of music fluently yet not being able to adequately describe our knowledge of it, we make knowledge personal. Skills such as music can only be inarticulately known, that is, they can somehow be understood tacitly and though our cognition may understand the relation of their parts we have difficulty describing these relations through our ability to communicate, i.e. explicit language. This is only the tip of the iceberg in Polanyi's thought but I highly recommend this in-depth study of personal knowledge. If you can get through the first few chapters the book gets easier to understand. It's heavy but it's very much worth your time.

Summary: Internally displaced persons ( Or I.D.P,s) is the U.N/ given name for refugees/victims fleeing from war and genocide. It is politically correct ( The U.N. is very politically correct) jargon and helps to mask the greater truths behind the rather antiseptic words themselves , and as such is a perfect encapsulation of their mandates(s) This book boils down to three separate accounts of I.D.P,s( Though the account of Haiti is less about displacement than how conflict affects a trapped indigenous people) and how they were handled by the U.N. and was written by Dutch freelance journalist Linda Polman (one of the accounts written about Kibeho in Rwanda was originally published in "Granta" magazine) who spent time with the U.N. forces on three missions in Somalia, Haiti and Rwanda . The three accounts reveal an organisation emasculated by the fact that the five key members - the U.S., U.K, Russia, France, and China - have the right of veto over any decisions made in the Security Council and invariably make those decisions in their own, rather than the country they are supposedly trying to help, favour. In effect if they don't want to do something they don't, leaving it up to poorer less powerful member states. More pertinently when they blather on about having a U.N. mandate what they are really saying is we acted in our own best interests. Most appallingly the U. N, s strict code of non-intervention is revealed for the impotent shambles it really is. Polman witnesses thousands of innocent civilians slaughtered under the noses of the frustrated U.N. troops (As happened in Sebrenica and Kibeho) who can do nothing but observe. These three accounts show the full incapacity of U.N. dictates and Polman relates the full horror and squalor that she found in precise, for the main part , remarkably un-emotional terms which is something considering the situations she found herself in, particularly in Rwanda. Frustratingly, as a seasoned observer she offers no solutions though there are tantalising hints to were she thinks the answers may lay (referring to her experience in Haiti) and that is surprisingly with direct military action, carried out with sensitivity and empathy to the victims and ultimate force to the perpetrators. Meanwhile no doubt the U.N. will continue to blunder on, repeating the same mistakes, stymied by a lack of real political will, squandering the money contributed by member states, many who cannot really afford to pay, and in the end achieving less in months than a single organised military presence achieved in one day in Haiti.

Summary: Oddly, Popper isn't my recommended starting point for philosophy of science (Kuhn is). But Popper is what Kuhn was building on. Written back in the '30's when the field was in its infancy, Popper's text sets out and argues the basic tenets of the 'scientific method'. Popper's 'falsifiability' criterion is still the single strongest feature distinguishing the scientific from the unscientific, and that, for me, is what the book is about. Yes, it begins with falsification. Yes, later authors showed that tested falsifiable hypothesis does not account - by a long way - for the adoption of new theories in science. And yes, the increasingly uncertain nature of experiment and the subjective elements of interpretation make 'falsification' a far more slippery concept than a naive reading of Popper implies. But the great contribution here is the recognition that 'scientific method' can prove the particular, and while that cannot prove the general, it can eliminate the false. On top of that, Popper's historical case studies are well written and thought-provoking, which makes a heavy topic a fair read. No book on this topic can be the only book to have; different authors cast different lights on the field. But this is one of the pivots, on which the arguments of many a later author turned. A very nearly must-have.

Summary: The Poverty of Historicism argues against historicism - the idea that it is possible to predict human history, that is commonly held by theories such as Marxism, Nazism and Plato's political philosophy. Popper argues that instead of relying on the idea that history is going to sweep us all along and the only thing we can do is to ease transitions between 'historical periods' with large scale social engineering we should engage with problems using piecemeal social engineering, making small changes to the way things work. So, for example, the best way to deal with shortages of a particular kind of food is to contact people, buy the foodstuff concerned and set up a shop, a bad way to deal with it is to try to set up a command economy under the charge of the all-powerful Party.

There is much of interest in this book if you have the patience to find it. Joyfully under-designed and coming out of one of the best design publishing companies in the UK, Hyphen Press, it is an important text in the history of design writing and should be read as such. If you're prepared to dig a little deeper, then it actually contains some ideas about design education which make design education establishments today look positively conservative.

FDR's Folly. How Roosevelt and His New Deal Prolonged the Great Depression Jim Powell
Date Added: 8 Dec 2008

Summary: Roosevelt rose to power promising to respond to the depression that had sent the US economy into a tailspin. However such was his sheer ineptitude he managed to prolong it so that it became the greatest downturn in US history. Time and time again FDR and his arrogant underlings were driven by ideology to impose obstacles to the economic recovery of the country. In an era where unemployment was rife New Deal policies made it almost impossible for businesses to employ more staff. New Deal demagogues made it clear that businesses were the enemy and were then mystified as to why investment plummeted. In an era of chronic banking weakness the New Dealers demonised the strongest banks and encouraged the smaller more precarious ones to continue as they were. With unemployment sky high the New Dealers introduced labor laws that strongly discouraged businesses from expanding. With food shortages widespread FDR's agriculture policies resulted in food being burnt rather than sold. With black unemployment especially high Roosevelt introduced laws enabling compulsory unionisation, with the unions free to block blacks from joining. Almost every New Deal policy had the result of prolonging and deepening the depression. This was accompanied by some outrageously authoritarian tactics by the administration, for example jailing business people for violating the price fixing agreements that were brought in, in one case a dry cleaner was imprisoned for three months for the 'crime' of charging five cents less to clean a shirt than the price government had fixed. They really did believe that they had both the ability and the right to micromanage the economy in this manner. Towards the end of the book Powell goes away from the purely factual accounts of the New Deal failure to speculate on what would have happened if it had not been for the New Deal, if FDR had not managed to diminish the world's greatest democracy so thoroughly could the rise of fascism and communism worldwide have been avoided? It is an interesting question.

Summary: L'anarchisme est-il un mouvement politique, une philosophie, un mode de vie, une vision du monde ? Doit-on ne le considérer que sous l'angle de la violence et de l'" action directe " ? Comment se situe-t-il, depuis deux siècles, dans l'histoire des luttes sociales, des mouvements révolutionnaires et par rapport aux idéologies dominantes ? A partir de l'analyse des philosophies et des courants de pensée qui sont à l'origine de l'esprit libertaire, Jean Préposiet nous donne le premier tableau historique complet des anarchismes en Occident. Il retrace tout d'abord le parcours politique et doctrinal des pères fondateurs - Proudhon, Stirner, Bakounine ou Malatesta -, analyse le rôle tenu par les anarchistes pendant la Révolution russe ou la guerre d'Espagne, rappelle ce que furent les attentats anarchistes en France à la Belle-Epoque avant d'explorer les avatars et les marges de la galaxie libertaire : antimilitarisme et pacifisme, nihilisme et terrorisme, anarcho-syndicalisme et mythe de la grève générale, anarchisme de droite, anarcho-capitalisme, situationnisme, écologie, antimondialisme, etc., autant de propositions qui continuent de travailler nos sociétés et posent l'éternelle question de la liberté des hommes.

Summary: The concept for this book is simple: 500 photographers, 500 pages. Arranged alphabetically, each of the photographers--from contemporary Dutch cameraman Hans Aarsman to mid-century New York shutterbug James Van Der Zee--gets a full, oversized page. On it is a large, expertly reproduced image and a concise caption packed with information about the photographer and his or her work. The coincidental alignment of photos of different eras and aesthetic sensibilities provides unusual and exciting contrasts that add an extra dimension to readers' perception of the work. Rineke Dijkstra's color-saturated shot of a bikini-clad beachgoer in South Carolina faces a Mike Disfarmer portrait of a rural Arkansas couple in 1943. Imogen Cunningham's inimitable Nude is here, along with a more surprising image--My Mother, Bolton Abbey, Yorkshire, a color-photo collage by painter David Hockney. With iconic photographs like Alfred Eisenstaedt's shot of a sailor and a nurse kissing in Times Square on V-J Day, historic ones like Larry Burrows's shot of wounded U.S. soldiers in Vietnam, and pop images like David LaChapelle's picture of a bodybuilder posing amid a cluster of little boys aping his stance, the scope of this visual encyclopedia is truly epic. And with its incredibly low price tag, there's no better value out there for fans of photography.

Summary: Few people outside certain scholarly circles had heard the name Robert D. Putnam before 1995. But then this self-described "obscure academic" hit a nerve with a journal article called "Bowling Alone." Suddenly he found himself invited to Camp David, his picture in People magazine, and his thesis at the center of a raging debate. In a nutshell, he argued that civil society was breaking down as Americans became more disconnected from their families, neighbors, communities, and the republic itself. The organizations that gave life to democracy were fraying. Bowling became his driving metaphor. Years ago, he wrote, thousands of people belonged to bowling leagues. Today, however, they're more likely to bowl alone:Television, two-career families, suburban sprawl, generational changes in values--these and other changes in American society have meant that fewer and fewer of us find that the League of Women Voters, or the United Way, or the Shriners, or the monthly bridge club, or even a Sunday picnic with friends fits the way we have come to live. Our growing social-capital deficit threatens educational performance, safe neighborhoods, equitable tax collection, democratic responsiveness, everyday honesty, and even our health and happiness. The conclusions reached in the book Bowling Alone rest on a mountain of data gathered by Putnam and a team of researchers since his original essay appeared. Its breadth of information is astounding--yes, he really has statistics showing people are less likely to take Sunday picnics nowadays. Dozens of charts and graphs track everything from trends in PTA participation to the number of times Americans say they give "the finger" to other drivers each year. If nothing else, Bowling Alone is a fascinating collection of factoids. Yet it does seem to provide an explanation for why "we tell pollsters that we wish we lived in a more civil, more trustworthy, more collectively caring community." What's more, writes Putnam, "Americans are right that the bonds of our communities have withered, and we are right to fear that this transformation has very real costs." Putnam takes a stab at suggesting how things might change, but the book's real strength is in its diagnosis rather than its proposed solutions. Bowling Alone won't make Putnam any less controversial, but it may come to be known as a path-breaking work of scholarship, one whose influence has a long reach into the 21st century. --John J. Miller
