Summary: Valerio Sacchetti tratta dell'intelligenza e degli errori che si nascondono negli oggetti, riportando il pensiero di chi progetta e di chi produce. L'attenzione è rivolta a una critica del design che pone l'accento su funzionalità e semplicità e sulle tecnologie necessarie a tradurre le idee in oggetti, industrialmente producibili. Dall'etimologia della parola design all'ipotesi per una classificazione del prodotto industriale, Sacchetti compie un'ampia riflessione sulla cultura del progetto, passando dall'"importanza della stupidità" alle insidie della "forma organica", al rapporto tra fumetti e design, scienza e design, invenzione e design.

The varieties of scientific experience Carl Sagan
Dewey: 215
Date Added: 2 Apr 2014
Summary: Sagan sets down his detailed thoughts on the relationship between religion and science and describes his personal search to understand the nature of the sacred in the vastness of the cosmos. In 1985, Sagan was invited to give the famous Gifford Lectures in Scotland on the grand occasion of the lectureship's centennial. The result is this delightfully intimate discussion of his views on topics ranging from the likelihood of intelligent life on other planets to the danger of nuclear annihilation of our own, on creationism and so-called intelligent design to a new concept of science as "informed worship" to manic depression and the possible chemical nature of transcendence. In his trademark clear and down-to-earth voice, the late astronomer and astrophysicist illuminates his conversation with examples from cosmology, physics, philosophy, literature, psychology, cultural anthropology, mythology, theology, and more.--From publisher description.

Ecrit avec verve et souvent avec humour, l'ouvrage trace de la grande comédienne, un portrait plus vivant et plus humain que celui qu'offrent la plupart des biographies et mémoires publiés jusqu'ici. La collection ##Elle était une fois## présente des rencontres entre une femme d'aujourd'hui et une femme de jadis où les deux se révèlent au lecteur.

Summary: Relié jaquette. dossier sur l'auteur. Ils sont quatre, tardivement lancés sur la route de l'exode en cette mi-juin 40. Quatre fleurons du Tout-Paris occupés à cancaner et à déguster leur foie gras dans une Chenard et Walcker rutilante qui, l'année dernière encore, remportait le Grand Prix de l'Elégance Sportive à Deauville. Quatre ? Non, cinq avec le chauffeur. On oublie toujours les domestiques. Mais voilà que celui-ci a l'inconvenance de se faire étourdiment tuer par un Stuka de passage, laissant ses employeurs hébétés devant leur limousine fumante. Le beau paysan qui les ramasse dans sa carriole tirée par deux percherons, pour les ramener dans sa ferme que sa mère régente d'une main de fer, a quelques arrière-pensées dont la nature n'est pas exclusivement salace. Si les appas de Luce chatouillent son regard, il évalue aussi de l'oeil les biceps de son amant. Les femmes culbutées dans le foin ou pataugeant dans la gadoue du poulailler ? Les hommes assaillis par le crétin du village ou transpirant aux champs ?. Ce que la grande Françoise Sagan, avec ce regard sarcastique et tendre qu'elle porte depuis Bonjour tristesse sur la nature humaine, tire de cette situation, c'est une vraie comédie, irrésistible de verve brillante et de gaieté. Elle nous fait, dans cette période sombre, le cadeau inespéré d'un roman qui arrachera aux lecteurs les plus déprimés par quelques événements récents des accès de fou rire.

Amazon Link
Summary: Reflecting the decline in college courses on Western Civilization, Marshall Sahlins aims to accelerate the trend by reducing "Western Civilization » to about two hours. He cites Nietzsche to the effect that deep issues are like cold baths; one should get into and out of them as quickly as possible. The deep issue here is the ancient Western specter of a presocial and antisocial human nature: a supposedly innate self-interest that is represented in our native folklore as the basis or nemesis of cultural order. Yet these Western notions of nature and culture ignore the one truly universal character of human sociality: namely, symbolically constructed kinship relations. Kinsmen are members of one another: they live each other's lives and die each other's deaths. But where the existence of the other is thus incorporated in the being of the self, neither interest, nor agency or even experience is an individual fact, let alone an egoistic disposition. -- Description from http://www.press.uchicago.edu (Oct. 24, 2011).

Summary: Lo que esconde tu nombre, quello che il tuo nome nasconde: il titolo originale del libro di Clara Sánchez suona oscuramente minaccioso, a differenza di quello in italiano, Il profumo delle foglie di limone. Molto più adeguato alla trama del libro: la caccia a due criminali nazisti che si nascondono dietro linnocuo aspetto di anziani turisti che si scaldano le ossa al sole delle spiagge spagnole.
Ci sono due voci narranti nel romanzo, le voci di due personaggi lontani luno dallaltro per età, sesso, esperienze di vita. Julián è un uomo anziano scampato ai campi di concentramento nazisti, dove era stato internato come prigioniero politico. Ora vive a Buenos Aires. Arriva nel paesino spagnolo perché ha ricevuto una lettera dallamico Salva, suo compagno a Mauthausen, adesso in una casa di riposo sulla costa spagnola. Dentro la lettera cera un ritaglio di giornale con una foto di due membri della comunità norvegese in Costa Blanca. Luomo e la donna della foto sono invecchiati rispetto a come li ricorda Julián, ma perfettamente riconoscibili: sono Fredrik e Karin Christensen che continuano a riapparire negli incubi di Julián e di Salva.
Sandra è poco più che trentenne, un anellino al naso, ciocche rosse nei capelli. È incinta, ma non è certa di voler sposare il padre del bambino. È venuta a stare per un po di tempo nel villino estivo della sorella. Un giorno accusa un malore sulla spiaggia, e viene soccorsa da Fredrik e Karin. Inizia così unamicizia improbabile tra la giovane Sandra e quelli che fanno di tutto per presentarsi come nonni sostituti.
I vantaggi per Sandra sono evidenti: la villa dei norvegesi è splendida; lei viene pagata per fare la dama di compagnia della vecchia Karin; inizia a fantasticare di poter diventare lerede dei due vecchi. Gli scopi dei Christensen nel coltivare lamicizia della spagnola sono molto più ambigui; ad un certo punto nella mente di Sandra affiora il ricordo del film Rosemarys baby
È chiaro, a questo punto, che Sandra, nella sua ingenuità (diciamo pure nella sua ignoranza), può diventare un aiuto inconsapevole per Julián, che sente di avere il dovere di proseguire da solo nella caccia ai nazisti, seguendo la traccia dellamico Salva che è morto prima che lui arrivasse. Pur sentendosi in colpa, Julián sfrutta lintimità che Sandra ha con gli ex aguzzini (un criminale può mai diventare un ex criminale?), fa di lei la sua infiltrata, la mette più di una volta in situazioni pericolose per ottenere prove certe che i Christensen siano veramente le persone che lui pensa; per verificare che non siano i soli nazisti che si sono rifatti una vita al sole godendo scopertamente delle ricchezze rubate alle loro vittime.
Il profumo delle foglie di limone ha un ritmo velocissimo, è impossibile interromperne la lettura, presi dalla curiosità di sapere cosa stiano tramando i vecchi nazisti e quale sia la composizione delle fiale che si iniettano, con il fiato sospeso per i rischi che corre Sandra nella sua incoscienza, seguendo le orme di Julián che ormai non si accontenta più di aver trovato solo due vecchie conoscenze e che diventa un altro nonno sostituto per lamabile Sandra (la quale pare conoscere molto poco la storia dEuropa nel 900).
Il lettore più sensibile, tuttavia, può finire per risentirsi un poco nellessere letteralmente irretito dalla narrazione. Perché una parte lucida della sua mente avverte che la vicenda dei cacciatori di nazisti sfrutta la fascinazione del Male che si è attuato nel modo scientificamente programmato che sappiamo, e fa sembrare una eccitante avventura la ricerca dei colpevoli

Summary: About a fifth of this book shows how Biblical criticism and archaeological discoveries have undermined the reliability of the Hebrew Bible as history. Archaeology, among other things, has played havoc with the chronology of the Bible, especially in connection with the invasion of Canaan, nor has it found any evidence that would support the story of the Exodus or the splendour of Solomon's kingdom. But the main subject of the book is the denial that there is such a thing as the Jewish People, descended from the inhabitants of Biblical Palestine from which they have been scattered, and that they are a nation which has now returned to the land of its ancestors. This undermines one of the principal arguments with which the State of Israel legitimizes itself. (There are, of course, other arguments which Sand does not discuss in any depth.) He says that the Jews began to see themselves as an ethnic people, rather than as a religious community, in the 19th century. (In a 40 page long and massively theoretical opening chapter, Sand explains why for him the word `people' implies ethnicity - hence the provocative title of his book. Others might well say that what has for centuries kept the Jewish `people' together was not their ethnicity but their religion, and even secular Jews belong to that people because their ancestors were religious Jews.) He traces the claim of the Jews to be a nation from the 1880s - when scholars like Heinrich Graetz described the work of Julius Wellhausen, the father of modern Biblical Criticism, as anti-Jewish - to those who present the Biblical account as the foundation charter of the State of Israel, where it is the staple of the state educational system. During the Hellenistic and Roman periods, aided by the Septuagint (the translation of the Hebrew Bible into Greek), "hundreds of thousands, perhaps millions" of gentiles around the South-Eastern Mediterranean, from Rome to Armenia, converted to Judaism. A substantial proportion today's Jews cannot be linked genetically to the Jewish Homeland at all. Roman writers expressed unease at the growing number of converts. Around 400 CE the king of Himyar, in Yemen, converted to Judaism and so did many of their Arabic subjects in his and the following reigns during the next century. Most of the strong Yemenite community of Jews would be descended from these converts. There was a strong Jewish presence among the Berbers of North Africa, who took such a part in the later Arabic conquest of Spain. Sand thinks that many of these Berber Jews were also converts, though his formulations here are more tentative than elsewhere, and to support this idea he produces few hard facts beyond a complaint by the Christian Tertullian (2nd c.) against proselytes in North Africa and one quotation from the Arab historian Ibn Khaldun (14th c.). The best known conversion is that of the Khazar kingdom (between the Volga and the Dnieper) in the 8th century CE. In his famous book Arthur Koestler called the Khazars `the Thirteenth Tribe', and Sand espouses the notion that after the Khazar kingdom was destroyed in the 11th century, many of its people fled westwards to form a substantial proportion of the Jews in the Ukraine, in Poland and in Hungary. Sand shows the resistance of many Israeli historians to the idea that so many Jews might not be descendants of the Jews of Israel and Judah: they either deny it or ignore it in their researches and their text books. He also supports the notion, advanced in 1918 even by the young Zionists Ben-Gurion and Ben-Zvi, that the majority Muslim fellahin in Palestine were the descendants of Jewish peasants who had converted to Islam, perhaps to escape the jizyah (poll tax) which was levied on all non-Muslims after the Arab conquest. This idea was swiftly abandoned in the face of Arab nationalism, to be replaced by the notion that the Arab invaders had expelled the Jews (for which there is no evidence) and therefore had no right to the land which the Jews who had been forced into exile were now reclaiming. The last chapter falls into two parts. The first part discusses the debate about whether there is any genetic evidence for the theory that most Jews are descended from the original Jews of Palestine. Students of genetics are apparently divided about this, and while Sand gives the supporters of the theory a good run for its money, it is clear that he sides with their opponents, and sees a conscious or unconscious agenda in those Israeli studies which have been looking for a widespread common ancestry. Sand quotes many Zionist sources which claimed (as the Nazis did) that the Jews were indeed a race. That EXPRESSION has now lost all respectability, but the debate is still carried on, though now in terms of genetics rather than of `blood'. Sand never leaves any doubt about the political conclusions he draws from all this. They are spelt out most explicitly in the second, hard-hitting, part of the last chapter, which dismisses the definition of the State of Israel as both a Jewish and a democratic state. It not only implies but in many ways acts in such a way that its non-Jewish people, though technically Israeli citizens, cannot be part of an Israeli nation, in the way in which, for example, Scots and Welshmen are part of the British (not English) nation. With little hope that it can happen, Sand calls for the Jews of Israel to transform their ideology into one that would "grant the Palestino-Israelis not only complete equality but also a genuine and firm autonomy" - not only in the interests of justice, but also to save the state from ultimate disaster. With its political implications, it is no surprise that this book has attracted both hatred and enthusiasm.

Summary: Half way through the book, I asked myself: am I reading a politics book or a law book? This book covers the headline international political events as well as the fundamental international law issues behind them: the Iraq war, the war on terrorism, global warming, establishment of the International Criminal Court, the WTO versus the environment and other public interests, and the safety of international investment. It is an obviously sophisticated political commentary, empowered by legal analysis. The legal issues are wonderfully illustrated in parallel with the development of the political drama, sometimes ending with the scream of law, usually in anger and pain at being stamped upon. It is also a very good law book exquisitely and accurately depicting the making, breaching and arguing of international law. This book has managed to give life to international law and give a rationale to politics. The title of the book is supposed to highlight America. I was impressed with the honesty and fairness of the author, who never hesitates to give America the credit it deserves. Not only was Roosevelt's contribution to international law and the new international order discussed, but also less well known facts, such as Nixon's contribution to international environmental protection and the Clinton administration's push to set up the International Criminal Court, are told in a non-partisan manner. Equally, Philippe Sands did not show any mercy in pointing out where and how America has breached and damaged international law. While reading the book, I almost forgot it was focused on America, mainly because the topics covered in the book are of such concern and influence to all of us, whichever nation we belong to. The book is really an updated international law and political overview. The most exciting and significant thing about this book is that Sands has initiated a new approach to international law study and a new style of political criticism. Public international law practice has long been an area monopolized by a small elite group, not the business of the public, ironically. This book, however, not only brings readers inside the international courts and tribunals where the author has represented cases, but also tirelessly and proudly records the interaction of societies, NGOs, and individuals with some of these cases. International law in this book has been transferred into the public arena, making it an experience of the public as it~~ should have been. The author also pays close attention to materials from public media, including the internet, about international law. In fact, not too many international law books have used images of single individuals on their front covers. Even the language in the book is unpretentiously short and clear, with many questions raised and answered in a documentary style.

Its approach - observing patterns, etc. - continues to be useful and relevant and I have recommended it to friends who have problems with maths, the most recent one being last year! I am getting a copy for my daughters who are 12 and 13. (Let me add, for the avoidance of doubt, that I am not a mathematician.)

Summary: I will never look at politics, society, or myself in the same way ever again. This book is a masterpiece, and Helmut Schoeck does an outstanding job of showing just how influential and pervasive the emotion of envy is in society. He studies societies all over the globe and shows us one of human nature's uglier aspects which seems to be universal. I found in this book many lessons for myself personally, and I obtained a more profound understanding of society, especially in terms of damaging economic policies peddled by expediency-minded, power-hungry politicians which not only reduce the prosperity of the wealthy, but do not improve the lot of the poor which such policies are intended to help. This book is an excellent guide to human nature and societal structure.

Summary: The structure of DNA and the genetic code may have alluded us for some time more if Crick had not read Erwin Schrödinger's "What Is Life?" [1]. The research lead that Crick got by doing so was how a small set of repeating elements could give rise to a large number of combinatorial products, a mathematical relationship that Schrödinger illustrated using the Morse Code, based on an idea that he had actually got from the visionary work of Max Delbrück. Delbrück, Schrödinger and Crick were physicists with an enthusiasm for tackling the unknown for the natural world. Crick's own motivation came directly from reading "What Is Life?" [2]. It seemed reasonable to make the cross-over as the infant field of biochemistry was bound to be governed by the same chemical and physical laws revealed in other, non-biological, disciplines. This was especially true given the progressive focus of biology on the increasingly small, until an effective convergence of scales in the studies of the biologically relevant on the biologically irrelevant. Hence the justification for Schrödinger's unspecific book title. Although some of the notions in the book have been superseded by modern science, this remains a classic, written with great insight and modesty (Schrödinger downplays his potential as a biologist), and is worth the read if only as a portal in to the minds of those luminary workers. By the time Watson and Crick were piecing together the jigsaw that would lead to their grand discovery, the far-reaching potential of Schrödinger's code script had been aligned with Chargaff's finding of a variable sequence of nucleotide bases, and the stage was set for that immortal terminal sentence, "It has not escaped our notice that the specific pairing we have postulated immediately suggests a possible copying mechanism for the genetic material." ------------- [1] Francis Crick (1989) What Mad Pursuit.

Summary: I read this book about 10 years ago and I still read it again and again. The author widens our perspective on science and point to the fact that 3/4 of reality can not be investigated by conventional scientific methods. I am a scientist and I read thousands of scientific reports and also report some myself. When I read this book I instantly felt that the author was absolutely right about the limitations of conventional science. Thus, his book changed my whole perspective of science and I started to investigate the "other areas". I have never regretted that. This book is beautifully written. It is one of my 3-4 favourite books which I very often take out from the bookshelf to read in silent mornings when the family is asleep. I recommend this as a first read of my favourite books. It is particularly important reading for scientists.

Summary: Economist Joseph A. Schumpeter's keen intellect makes some of today's scholarship sound like the spouting of ideology on talk shows. Some consider him the greatest economist of the twentieth century. Only an intellect of his towering stature would be able to present a case that while Marx was wrong about how capitalism would collapse, he was probably correct that it eventually would. Schumpeter also contends that socialism may eclipse free-market economies, news he feels society should greet with angst. He believed that capitalism's doom would proceed not from a revolution by an angry proletariat, but rather as a result of successes that would give rise to a class of elites who would gradually institute systems of central control. Fully understanding this complex, although non-mathematical, treatise may require some background; it is not a book for the novice. While this 1942 classic may seem dated in spots, those who conclude that it is time to tap dance on socialism's grave should consider that Schumpeter expected socialism's dominance to take a century or more. We recommend this classic to anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the historic, economic case for the rise of socialism.

Summary: I was motivated to get hold of this book through an interest in Rudolf Steiner's Anthroposophy and a renewed interest in geographc ad elemental phenomena. I studied Geography and Environmental Science at A-level so wanted to see how the two areas overlapped with Anthroposophical leanings. The book is well illustrated with lots of sketches and photos (unfortuately in black and white) and the narrative although a little dry is not particularly 'boring'... I think what I wasn't keen on was its rather rambling nature: it doesn't really build up to a theory but rather documents physical air/water phenomena and similarities to the human body and soul. Its a fascinating subject but a hard one to pin down in written form: mind/body/spirit vs environment/geography. I think perhaps a video documentary would be more in order (I thought of it first people!)...and a more purposeful narrative of course.

Summary: E' un libro di racconti scritti fra il 1959 e il 1972. Così Sciascia stesso: "... mi pare di avere messo assieme una specie di sommario della mia attività fino ad ora e da cui vien fuori... che in questi anni ho continuato per la mia strada, senza guardare né a destra né a sinistra (e cioè guardando a destra e a sinistra), senza incertezze, senza dubbi, senza crisi (e cioè con molte incertezze, con molti dubbi, con profonde crisi); e che tra il primo e l'ultimo di questi racconti si stabilisce come una circolarità". Una circolarità che non ha per nulla intaccato, e anzi esalta, la felicità e l'efficacia delle storie qui riunite come in un breve compendio delle molte voci narrative di Sciascia.

Summary: This new look at medieval art conveys a very real sense of the impact of art on everyday life in Europe from 1000-1500. It examines the importance of art in the expression and spread of knowledge and ideas, including notions of the heroism and justice of war, and the dominant view of Christianity." "Taking its starting point from issues of contemporary relevance such as the environment, the identity of the artist, and the position of women, the book also highlights the attitudes and events specific to the sophisticated visual culture of the Middle Ages and goes on to link this period to the Renaissance. The fascinating question as to whether commercial and social activities between countries encouraged similar artistic taste and patronage, or contributed to the defining of cultural difference in Europe is fully explored."--Jacket.

Summary: The book is not a management text book, but all managers can learn from what Ricardo Semler did. It provides a fascinating insight into how Semler turned his company around by believing in his employees and allowing them to decide on important issues that would have been management made decisions in most other companies. His management style might not work in all companies but certain elements of it certainly seem like a good idea.

Development as Freedom Amartya Sen
Dewey: 330
Date Added: 8 Mar 2009
Amazon Link
Summary: This is a superb book that sets out Sen's influential approach to thinking about economic development. In it he combines economics and political philosophy to show how thinking about what people have and what they are capable of attaining, given their situation, can yield important insights into the nature of development. The focus is not just on the material aspects of development, but also on considerations such as political and societal participation, human rights and institutions. Sen views the ultimate goal of development as maximising peoples' freedom to lead the lives they wish within the context of society. Among the 12 chapters, a couple of my personal favourites include his analysis of the problem of "Missing Women" in China, a chilling illustration of the consequences that a prohibition of societal participation can bring about. Also, his discussion on famines, which views their possible cause not just as crop failiure, but as a failiure of democratic rights. Sen's writes with the aplomb that one would expect from a philosopher (he is published in ethics and political philosophy as well as economics). There are many parts of the book, especially one of the earlier chapters, that require some concentrated reading (several times in my case!) to fully grasp the ideas, but the rewards to be had are more than worth any effort put in. I would thoroughly recommend this book to anyone with any interest in the developing world. This is a human, hopeful, brilliantly lucid and intelligent read that does what all the best non fiction does: really makes you think.

Summary: As some one has already said, this book is only a brief introduction to most things but, for one, it is just that - most things! The natural style of writing, the drawings but, above all, the simple matter of fact explanations make the whole thing seem much more do-able than some of the more detailed books. If your really want to go into self sufficiency, you will need other books but this one is the one that will inspire you in those dark moments and make you feel that you really can do it after all. My first and still my favourite!

The Taming of the Shrew William Shakespeare
Editor: Brian Morris
Dewey: 822.33
Date Added: 20 Mar 2009
Amazon Link
Summary: One of the most controversial and problematic of all of Shakespeare's plays, "The Taming of the Shrew" is a typical Elizabethan domestic comedy written around 1592. Petruchio, a gentleman of Verona, arrives in Padua and announces to his friends that "I come to wive it wealthily in Padua; / If wealthily, then happily in Padua". He soon finds that a group of men keen to marry Bianca, the younger daughter of rich old Baptista, are frustrated by her elder, "shrewish" sister, Katherine. There is much subsequent hilarity as Bianca's suitors make a bet with Petruchio that he cannot "tame" and marry Katherine. Despite Katherine's protestations, Petruchio goes ahead with the match, using deliberately unorthodox behaviour to confuse Katherine (including a scene where he starves her), claiming that "this is the way to kill a wife with kindness". The play culminates with a scene of Katherine's apparently spontaneous subjection to her husband's will, where she places her hand beneath her husband's foot, and tells the other wives present that "thy husband is thy lord, thy life, thy keeper". The play's gratuitous scenes of women being abused and vilified in the name of "comedy" has made many directors and critics very uncomfortable with the play, and many feminist critics have condemned contemporary productions of the play as reproducing certain 16th-century stereotypes concerning women who speak out against male authority. --"Jerry Brotton"

Summary: Sejde, ein 12jähriger Junge, der mit seiner Mutter Judith in einem kleinen Dorf in der israelischen Jesreel-Ebene lebt, ist trotz ärmlicher Verhältnisse unschätzbar reich. Denn er hat drei Väter: den unbeholfenen Mosche, bei dem die Mutter arbeitet, den derben Viehhändler Globermann, der ihm hin und wieder einen Geldschein zusteckt, und den Sonderling Jakob, der etwas von Vögeln, vom Kochen und vor allem vom Geschichtenerzählen versteht. Es sind poetische und phantasievolle Geschichten, in denen die Geheimnisse um Judith und die Traumhafte Beziehung Jakobs zu ihr eine besondere Tolle spielen.

Summary: It is one of the most amazing historical ironies that the one of the most non-violent independence movements in history became one of the greatest bloodbaths when the colonial power left. Once Britain relinquished power over the Indian subcontinent, hundreds of thousands of people were killed by their fellow citizens of the former colony. Ultimately, three different countries emerged from the British colony of India, and two of them, India and Pakistan, remain enemies and may go to war at any time. Mohandas Gandhi was the leader of the independence movement, and he lived non-violent civil disobedience with his every breath. In many ways, it seems inevitable that he too would also be a victim of the violent birth of India, Pakistan and Bangladesh. William L. Shirer was a correspondent who spent a great deal of time in India in the early 1930's, and this is an account of that time. He spoke extensively with Gandhi and had a great deal of interaction with the other principals of the Indian independence movement. Clearly, Gandhi was a great man, and the circumstances happened to be right for a non-violent movement to be successful. Even though the British could be brutal, they were ultimately civilized enough to allow it to work. If Gandhi-like tactics would have been used against people like Hitler and Stalin the results would have been different. Shirer clearly was impressed by Gandhi, his political astuteness and his understanding of the people of India. Fortunately, this does not blind Shirer to Gandhi's weaknesses. While Shirer does give an accurate, interesting and journalistic account of Gandhi's actions, he also explains some of the problems and how people in the independence movement like Jawaharlal Nehru at times grew very frustrated at Gandhi's ideas. With the advantage of historical perspective, some now argue that Gandhi was also bad for India, in that he never seemed to grasp the underlying religious and ethnic hatreds among the people. That is very clear in this book. He also did not grasp the need for a modern infrastructure, as his daily spinning of cloth really did not do anyone any good. After reading the book, I did come away with some new perspectives on Gandhi and what kind of man he was. Humble, yet well aware of his significance in world history, he can be admired for the principles that he held so strongly. Some say that he died for them. I respectfully disagree, as I believe that he would have been assassinated no matter what philosophy he had expounded. Such was the violent nature of the birth of the nations that arose from the British colony of India. William Shirer was one of the best journalists of the twentieth century. He was present at many of the greatest historical events and his descriptions of them are some of the best journalism the world has ever seen. This is another in his list of literary accomplishments.

Summary: This books is widely credited for setting off the animal "rights" movement. Singer really brought the issue into the public arena, and caused people to question their presumptuous beliefs - this book was first published in 1975, and sparked off the writing of literally hundreds of other books about animal "rights". He describes our traditional view of animals as "speciesist" - arbitrarily discriminating simply on the basis of species - comparable to sexist or racist views. In the book he argues rationally and convincingly for animal "rights". Although a work of philosophy, the book is written to be easily accessible to the lay-person. The book explains why we must extend our moral principles to other animals, describes the cruelty occuring in laboratories and factory farms, tells how and why we should become vegetarians, gives a short history of our views of animals and where they came from, and refutes common arguments against animal "rights". In the 1990 preface to this book, Singer writes of its arguments "I have lectured on them, given talks to conferences and philosophy department seminars, and discussed them at length, both verbally and in print; but I have come across no insurmountable objections, nothing that has led me to think that the simple ethical arguments on which the book is based are anything but sound. It has been encouraging to find that many of my most respected philosophical peers agree with this view - so many, in fact, that in reviewing the revised edition Colin McGinn, who holds a distinguished chair of philosophy at Rutgers University, described the ethical core of the book as, in theory if not in practice, 'a won argument'". If you find that hard to believe, then read the book and see if you can refute its claims!

The Psychology of Learning Mathematics Richard R. Skemp
Date Added: 10 Nov 2008

Summary: This small paperback took me several years to read. And at the end of it, not only had I grasped a number of mathematical concepts that had eluded me thus far - I also understood why they had eluded me. Skemp builds from the ground up: what is a number? Why does counting work? Is adding natural numbers the same as adding rationals? He does not go into imaginary numbers beyond mentioning them briefly. The aim of the book is not to teach mathematics, but to explore the psychology of why so many of us give up on mathematics. You can get only so far by rote learning (pretty far if you're bright). But you are building an edifice on weak foundations. Until one day you are confrointed with what is a concept too many. Another trick you are forced to learn, without real understanding (or explanation) of why it should work. Such rote drilling is an insult to the intelligence - in both senses. And is not surprising learners rebel in a variety of ways. Read this book and realise what has been stolen from you by imcomprehending teaching (incomprehending both of mathematics and the psychology of learning). And rage. Then see it happen to your primary school kids and order a gift copy for their Headmaster...

Summary: This is a great book. It argues that: 1) the human race faces great and urgent problems, such as overpopulation and habitat destruction. 2) we don't behave all that well: we're having difficulty addressing the urgent problems. 3) a scientific approach may be able to help. 4) indeed, a "technology of behavior" is being developed and shows promise. This includes Skinner's experimental findings and conclusions, for example, the role of operant conditioning and the limitations of punishment. 5) Using this emerging technology of behavior, individuals can manage themselves better (as Skinner demonstrated with himself). As a race, we should also be able to use this technology to manage ourselves collectively better. 6) We are being managed (i.e. controlled) anyway, often by forces we either aren't aware of or don't grasp the impact of. 7) If we took control of this technology of behavior, applying it as it is and developing it further, we might be able to save ourselves from the urgent problems that confront us. 8) A key obstacle to the application and further development of this technology is our belief that we are somehow ultimately free of external causes. We believe in free will (freedom or autonomy) and consequently we take credit ( feel dignity) for things we really don't have much or any control over. 9) If we look at the explanations we offer on the basis of our freedom and dignity, we may see that they cover up huge areas of ignorance we have as to why we behave as we do. And if we look at our behavior, we see that we don't control it as much as we think we can (consider the problem people have with obesity or addiction) and we take credit for things we aren't responsible for (including what now appear to be genetic endowments). 10) By attributing things to our "free will", we tend to ignore the real events that influence us, and by so doing we fail to learn from them. 11) If we worked together to look at what really is influencing us and at how we do and can influence others, we might be able to shift ourselves toward being more altruistic and more effective, i.e. we might be able to overcome the big problems that we are currently creating. Better ways of managing ourselves may mean better ways to manipulate others, but it may also mean that people will be better informed so as to counter manipulations and join, where appropriate, in managing themselves better. At least with an open, scientific process, we have a chance of learning and improving the process ourselves, instead of floundering into disasters due to half-baked concepts about ourselves. It may make no sense to you to chuck your "autonomous person" yet, but there's no need to. The important thing is to take a little time to learn what Skinner and other behaviorists have learned and try to apply it to help yourself ... and others. You may find yourself stepping beyond freedom and dignity toward knowledge and usefulness ... and that may feel like a good thing.

Summary: Though Slater wrote this over 20 years ago, it is still frightening in its importance. He begins with an allegory of American Society as being too focused on indepenence and not on INTERDEPENDENCE. Then takes the concept into various, eye-opening realms. Very good commentary and one of my favorite books. I find some new facet that makes me say "AHA!" every time I read it.

My Years with General Motors Alfred P. Sloan
Date Added: 17 Feb 2009
Amazon Link
Summary: Alfred P. Sloan Jr. was CEO of General Motors from 1923 to 1946. This book was originally published in 1964. Sloan is seen as the first person to have worked out systematic organization in a big company, planning and strategy, measurements, the principle of decentralization - in short, basic concepts of a discipline of management. This is a difficult book to review, since it is more a historic piece on GM's history and development from Sloan's perspective than an autobiography. It does not discuss the individual Alfred P. Sloan Jr., it discusses Alfred P. Sloan Jr. as professional manager. The chapters also come across as business school lessons in different subjects, ranging from general management through to accounting, marketing and compensation strategies. The book consists of two parts. "Part One is an integrated continuous story of the main lines of General Motors' progress, involving the origin and development of the corporation's basic management concepts in the areas of organization, finance and product." It discusses the extreme growth and development of the automobile industry from the early 1900s through to the early 1960s. It also discusses the methods General Motors introduced used to manage the corporation (Sloan all through the book keeps emphasizing the concept of the corporation). He later became known as a committee-man, because he used different types of committees to get/keep various divisions talking and working with each other. "Part Two consists of individually distinct sections dealing in some detail with engineering, distribution, overseas operations, war and defense products, incentive compensation, and other aspects and branches of the enterprise." This part of the book discusses in greater detail the different experiences and events during Sloan's reign as CEO. It discusses some very interesting subjects, such as the evolution of the automobile, relationships with dealers, World War I and II efforts, and personnel and labor relations. Chapter 23 and 24 are really the conclusion to this book. Yes, this is a great book. It is a TRUE business classic. It discusses all the subjects involved in business from a CEO's point of view. I was amazed to see the amount of detail Sloan has gone through while writing this book, there are plenty of quotes from annual reports, memoranda, conversations, etc. However, some readers will be disappointed by the lack of insight into Sloan's personal life. This particular edition includes an introduction by Peter F. Drucker, who explains why this book is MUST reading for all MBA and business students, but also all people that want to be serious about management. Highly recommended. The book is written in simple business US-English.

Summary: Two hundred and forty years after the publication of this book effectively launched Economics as an independent field of study, it has worn very well. "The Wealth of Nations" is both more readable and far more relevant today than many people might expect. Some previous writers, mostly historians, had attempted to write on economic matters but this book, "An inquiry into the nature and causes of the wealth of nations" (to give it the full title) really began to engage for the first time with how the economy of a country works, and the issues which affect whether economic, fiscal, and legal policies lead to economic success or failure. "The Wealth of Nations" is sometimes wrongly assumed, mostly by those who have never properly read it, to have a right-wing political slant: this is a gross oversimplification. It criticises market rigging by trade associations and businessmen as well as mistakes by governments, it includes a "labour theory of value" which was the starting point on which Karl Marx built his own economic theories, and Smith criticised the very existence of the Limited liability stock companies on which the modern form of capitalism is largely based. Smith published five editions of "The Wealth of nations" in his lifetime, the first, which had two volumes, in 1776 and the last, which had rather more than that, in 1789. This Pelican Classics edition, with a substantial introduction by Professor Andrew Skinner, contains the first three volumes of Smith's fifth and final edition of his book, which covers the central part of his economic writings. Probably more for the serious student of Economics than the casual reader, but the style and substance alike have dated much less than you might expect. In my opinion every economics undergraduate and every aspiring treasury minister should read it.

Summary: During the great ages of exploration, "the longitude problem" was the gravest of all scientific challenges. Lacking the ability to determine their longitude, sailors were literally lost at sea as soon as they lost sight of land. Ships ran aground on rocky shores; those traveling well-known routes were easy prey to pirates.
In 1714, England's Parliament offered a huge reward to anyone whose method of measuring longitude could be proven successful. The scientific establishment--from Galileo to Sir Isaac Newton--had mapped the heavens in its certainty of a celestial answer. In stark contrast, one man, John Harrison, dared to imagine a mechanical solution--a clock that would keep precise time at sea, something no clock had been able to do on land. And the race was on....

Summary: When Dava Sobel's "Longitude" was published to universal acclaim in 1996, readers voiced only one regret: that it was not illustrated. Now William Andrewes, the man who organised and hosted the Longitude Symposium that inspired her book, has joined Sobel to create a richly illustrated version of her classic story. "The Illustrated Longitude" recounts in words and images the epic quest to solve the world's thorniest scientific problem of the 17th and 18th centuries. Throughout the great age of exploration, sailors attempted to navigate the oceans without any means of measuring their longitude. All too often, voyages ended in total disaster when both crew and cargo were captured or lost upon the rocks of an unexpected landfall. Thousands of lives and fortunes of seafaring nations hung on a resolution. To encourage a solution, governments established major prizes for anyone whose method or device proved successful. The largest reward, of £20,000, was offered by the British Parliament in 1714. The scientific establishment--from Galileo to Sir Isaac Newton--had been certain that a celestial answer would be found and invested untold effort in this pursuit. In stark contrast, one man, John Harrison, imagined and built the unimaginable: a clock that solved the problem by keeping precise time at sea, today called the chronometer. His trials and tribulations to win the prize throughout a 40-year obsession are the culmination of this remarkable story.

Summary: In 1996, an article entitled "Transgressing the Boundaries: Toward a Transformative Hermeneutics of Quantum Gravity" was published in the cultural studies journal Social Text. Packed with recherché quotations from "postmodern" literary theorists and sociologists of science, and bristling with imposing theorems of mathematical physics, the article addressed the cultural and political implications of the theory of quantum gravity. Later, to the embarrassment of the editors, the author revealed that the essay was a hoax, interweaving absurd pronouncements from eminent intellectuals about mathematics and physics with laudatory--but fatuous--prose. In "Intellectual Imposteurs", Alan Sokal, the author of the hoax, and Jean Bricmont contend that abuse of science is rampant in postmodernist circles, both in the form of inaccurate and pretentious invocation of scientific and mathematical terminology and in the more insidious form of epistemic relativism. When Sokal and Bricmont expose Jacques Lacan's ignorant misuse of topology, or Julia Kristeva's of set theory, or Luce Irigaray's of fluid mechanics, or Jean Baudrillard's of non-Euclidean geometry, they are on safe ground; it is all too clear that these virtuosi are babbling. Their discussion of epistemic relativism--roughly, the idea that scientific and mathematical theories are mere "narrations" or social constructions--is less convincing, however, in part because epistemic relativism is not as intrinsically silly as, say, Regis Debray's maunderings about Gödel, and in part because the authors' own grasp of the philosophy of science frequently verges on the naive. Nevertheless, Sokal and Bricmont are to be commended for their spirited resistance to postmodernity's failure to appreciate science for what it is. --"Glenn Branch, Amazon.com"

Date Added: 6 Oct 2008

Summary: Widely regarded as the classic text on user-centered design of public buildings and spaces, this book studies how people relate to the designed space around them and how the design of that space can affect their behavior. Its contents are based on comprehensive academic research, the conclusions it draws are highly applicable in real-world projects, and the style of presentation is lucid and interesting. The author; Robert Sommer, deals with topics such as privacy, spatial invasion, small-group ecology and looks at the role of design in settings that include airports, stations, hospitals and schools. When it was first published this book went through 25 printings in English alone. Although it was written when the study of behavior and design was just beginning to be appreciated, the lessons are still deeply relevant for today's spatial designers and also important to the digital world in the design and analysis of shared digital spaces for co-operative work and multi-player games. Robert Sommer writes with authority and clarity. He has updated this new edition of his work with an introduction and detailed notes accompanying each chapter describing what has changed in the intervening years, and what has remained the same. "Your book will now become a standard at our office as it gives us added insight in design work", Charles W. Pelly (President of the Industrial Designers Society of America 1991/92).

Summary: "People with nothing to lose are trapped in the grubby basement of the pre-capitalist world." This is the nub of "The Mystery of Capital". Read just that one sentence and you catch a glimpse of the reason why, as the author puts it, four-fifths of humanity lack the ability to turn dead assets into live capital. A great deal of the power of legal property comes from the accountability it creates, argues Hernando de Soto, from the constraints it imposes, the rules it spawns and the sanctions it can apply. The lack of legal property thus explains why citizens in developed and former communist nations cannot make profitable contracts with strangers, cannot obtain credit, insurance or utilities services. Because they have no property to lose, they are only taken seriously as contracting parties by their immediate family and neighbours. To put it another way, while most western homeowners dream about paying off their mortgage, their counterparts in the less developed countries could transform their existence if they could only access such sums. It's rare to come across a book about such an arcane subject that is simultaneously interesting and illuminating, entertaining and thought-provoking. "The Mystery of Capital" is all these and more. De Soto paints a procession of vivid pictures, from Cairo to the Wild West, from the Andes to the Urals. "The cities of the Third World and the former communist countries are teeming with entrepreneurs," he says, dismissing the notion that entrepreneurialism is the exclusive preserve of the west. "You cannot walk through a Middle Eastern market, hike up to a Latin American village or climb into a taxi in Moscow without someone trying to make a deal with you. The inhabitants of these countries possess talent, enthusiasm and an astonishing ability to wring a profit out of practically nothing." In "The Mystery of Capital", de Soto believes he points to a way in which capitalism can be used to help developing nations. In his vision, the poor are not the problem. They are the solution. --"Brian Bollen"

Summary: Webster's Third is certainly one of the great dictionaries of the world and the standard reference of American English. But it is showing its age. The major portion consisting of the A-to-Z listing was originally published in 1961. This revision has an addenna of 70 pages listing new words which have come into usage since then. Merriam-Webster has announced that a Fourth Edition should be expected by 2002. Hopefully, they are also looking on publishing a CD-ROM version.

Comments: The Remarkable Story of the Telegraph and the Nineteenth Century's On-Line Pioneers
Amazon Link
Summary: The title of this book, 'The Victorian Internet,' refers to the 'communications explosion' that took place with the advent and expansion of telegraph wire communications. Prior to this, communication was notoriously slow, particularly as even postal communications were subject to many difficulties and could take months for delivery (and we complain today of the 'allow five days' statements on our credit cards billings!). The parallels between the Victorian Internet and the present computerised internet are remarkable. Information about current events became relatively instantaneous (relative, that is, to the usual weeks or months that it once took to receive such information). There were skeptics who were convinced that this new mode of communication was a passing phase that would never take on (and, in a strict sense, they were right, not of course realising that the demise of the telegraph system was not due to the reinvigoration of written correspondence but due to that new invention, the telephone). There were hackers, people who tried to disrupt communications, those who tried to get on-line free illegally, and, near the end of the high age of telegraphing, a noticeable slow-down in information due to information overload (how long is this page going to take to download?? isn't such a new feeling after all). The most interesting chapter to me is that entitled 'Love over the Wires' which begins with an account of an on-line wedding, with the bride in Boston and the groom in New York. This event was reported in a small book, Anecdotes of the Telegraph, published in London in 1848, which stated that this was 'a story which throws into the shade all the feats that have been performed by our British telegraph.' This story is really one of love and adventure, as the bride's father had sent the young groom away for being unworthy to marry his daughter, but on a stop-over on his way to England, he managed to get a magistrate and telegraph operator to arrange the wedding. The marriage was deemed to be legally binding. A very interesting and remarkable story that perhaps would have been forgotten by history had history not set out to repeat itself with our modern internet.

Comments: How Christianity Led to Freedom, Capitalism, and Western Success
Amazon Link
Summary: That modern science, capitalism and the freedoms of pluralist representative democracy arose under Western Christianity is beyond dispute. What is debated is why this should be and what did other cultures contribute along the way. How much is based on the inheritances from Judaism, Islam and classical Greek and Roman cultures. Stark makes a good case that it was a rationalism open to new discoveries in a world made by a sovereign God that led to reasoned progress. If a God who reveals himself as reasonable has created a reasonable world, man made in his image can work to discover how the world works. When it comes to capitalism the author rejects Weber's famous link with Calvinism. This is where I suspect the Roman Catholic bias but I am not qualified as an historian to be certain of my criticism. Not to deal with Calvin on usury seems a serious ommision. Stark gives no reason for the dissapearance of the prohibition other than Catholics ignoring it. Stark cites medieval Italian cities as the birthplace of modern representative democracy but for a whole country he should have told us more about this side of the English Channel. He does though credit it us with better progress in commerce because of the absence of despotic government. This is certainly a book to stimulate thought and debate.

Summary: Aerei di Stato che volano 37 ore al giorno, pronti al decollo per portare Sua Eccellenza anche a una festa a Parigi. Palazzi parlamentari presi in affitto a peso d'oro da scuderie di cavalli. Finanziamenti pubblici quadruplicati rispetto a quando furono aboliti dal referendum. "Rimborsi" elettorali 180 volte più alti delle spese sostenute. Organici di presidenza nelle regioni più "virtuose" moltiplicati per tredici volte in venti anni. Spese di rappresentanza dei governatori fino a dodici volte più alte di quelle del presidente della Repubblica tedesco. Province che continuano ad aumentare nonostante da decenni siano considerate inutili. Indennità impazzite al punto che il sindaco di un paese aostano di 91 abitanti può guadagnare quanto il collega di una città di 249mila. Candidati "trombati" consolati con 5 buste paga. Presidenti di circoscrizione con l'autoblu. La denuncia di come una certa politica, o meglio la sua caricatura obesa e ingorda, sia diventata una oligarchia insaziabile e abbia allagato l'intera società italiana. Storie stupefacenti, numeri da bancarotta, aneddoti nel reportage di due famosi giornalisti.

The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman Laurence Sterne
Editor: Graham Petrie

Date Added: 28 Mar 2009

Summary: A line from the movie "adaptation" put it best: this was a postmodern novel before there was any modernism to be post to. Simply put, Laurence Sterne threw out all the literary conventions of what a novel should be and how it should be arranged, a few hundred years before more recent writers like Calvino, Joyce and Danielewski did. The result is "The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman," a gloriously rambling, richly entertaining sort-of-novel. "I wish either my father or my mother, or indeed both of them, as they were in duty both equally bound to it, had minded what they were about when they begot me." So begins Tristram, who starts his life story with his "begetting," and attempts to tell the story of his birth and life, as well as the descriptions of relatives -- his lovable uncle Toby, his eccentric dad, his patient mother (who's in labor for most of the book). But as he tries to tell us about his life, Tristram keeps getting sidetracked by all the stories that surround him -- his uncle's romance with the Widow Wadman and the war in which he received a nasty wound in a sensitive spot, the French, the doctor who delivered him, letters in multiple languages, the parson, the personal history of the midwife, and what curses are appropriate for what occasions. Most novels are pretty straightforward -- they have a beginning, a middle and an end. But "The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman" totally ignores that, by having a beginning that lasts for the whole book, dozens of "middles," and no real end (it just stops at a suitable spot). All of this is without a real structure. And he took this postmodern, break-all-the-rules mentality all the way, by including odd little illustrations -- when speaking of the death of Parson Yorick, Sterne includes a black page. Random empty pages. Asterisks instead of important paragraphs. And a bunch of squiggly lines to demonstrate precisely how the narratives in previous chapters looked. At first glance, Sterne's writing style was pretty typical of his period -- detailed, somewhat formal in tone, and very talky. It takes a little while for Tristram to start dipping out of of his narrative -- at one point, he starts interrupting himself in midsentence. By the middle of the book, he's completely lost control of his own story. And he twisted it around with lots of bawdy humor (such as poor Uncle Toby's groin injury, which causes quite a few problems), and the continuous comic stumbles of all the characters. On the subject of his own name, Tristram describes his dad's reaction: "Melancholy dissyllable of sound! which to his ears was unison to Nincompoop, and every name vituperative under heaven.") Life is too rich to be encapsulated in a single story -- that's the problem with "Tristram Shandy," whose story is a classic comic delight of premodernist-postmodern skill.

The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde and other stories Robert Louis Stevenson
Date Added: 28 Mar 2009

Summary: The story goes that Robert Louis Stevenson wrote this novel in just two days, whilst sick with a fever. His wife, who was nursing him, read the completed manuscript and deciding it was rubbish - the deranged ramblings of a very ill man - she threw it onto the fire. Not to be deterred, her husband simply rewrote this story - in another two days. We may be glad of Robert Louis Stevenson's perseverance, as this is a truly astounding novel. At the time it was first published, it was a shocking tale, but whilst modern readers will be familiar with the Jekyll and Hyde concept, they may still be captivated by the quality of the writing and the true horror drawn out in the author's words, which have a sinister quality that the countless film and television versions and variations over the years have failed to match. This isn't just a horror story - it's a book about appearance and reality, and about our notions of who we are and how we are viewed by others. That's not to mention that old chestnut of good versus evil - but here, played out in two sides of the same person. Stevenson's fascinating ideas are brilliantly executed in this little masterpiece of a novel.

Summary: For those of you who are unfamiliar with Leo Strauss, allow me to fill in the gaps. Leo Strauss was a Neo Conservative philosopher who escaped Nazi Germany only to go on to become a senior Professor of Philosophy at The University of Chicago. This work is perhaps the best introduction to his line of thought. An expert on classical philosophy, Strauss highlighted the perilous and inconclusive nature of postmodernism, and the general shortsightedness of Liberal thinking. The phrase "Man's efforts to make man at home in this world have led to man being made homeless in this world" epitomize this work. Strauss argues against the optimistic humanistic tradition of sanctioning wrongdoings and equivocating evil actions on the basis of short sighted optimism and an almost blinding desire to believe in the redeemability of humans. Arguing strongly for a distinction of right and wrong Strauss outlines the paradox of non value judgements saying that to speak of values is to subconsciously make a value judgement. For anyone who is disenfranchised with the paradoxical Marxist view of human nature (all humans are instinctively good but corrupted by society??? So how is society bad in that case??) or disenchanted with the post modernist, particularly Nietzschean, reassessment of morals, this book is a must read.

Summary: This book is one of the best examples of popular science that I have read. The author is a scientist and knows his stuff but he also has the ability to explain his material in very simple terms. He does this by the use of relevant and well thought out analogies. Sync is about things in nature that synchronize without any central controller. Strogatz starts with the example of Fireflies that flash on and off together in their thousands. The book then takes us on a journey through a surprisingly large range of natural phenomena that exhibit sync and the science that is revealing how sync works. This is a relatively easy book to read. There are no equations. The writing style is as good as any I have encountered. There are real and interesting characters and just the right level of humour. It is not a text book and does not pretend to be. It is popular (but serious) science done very well. Best of all for me is the genuine excitement which the book conveys about this subject. It has inspired me to seek out other books on the same theme and I would definitely read another book by Steven Strogatz.

The Wisdom of Crowds. Why the Many Are Smarter Than the Few James Surowiecki
Dewey: 174
Date Added: 29 Nov 2008

Summary: Smart people often believe that the opinion of the crowd is always inferior to the opinion of the individual specialist. Philosophical giants such as Nietzsche thought that "Madness is the exception in individuals but the rule in groups". Henry David Thoreau lamented: "The mass never comes up to the standard of its best member but on the contrary degrades itself to a level with the lowest member." The motto of the great and the ordinary seems to be: Bet on the expert because crowds are generally stupid and often dangerous. Business columnist James Surowiecki’s new book "The Wisdom of Crowds" explains exactly why the conventional wisdom is wrong. The fact is that, under the right circumstances, groups are remarkably intelligent, and are often smarter than the smartest people in them. Groups don’t even need to be dominated by exceptionally intelligent people in order to be smart. Even if most of the people within a group are not especially well-informed or rational, it can still reach a collectively wise decision. Why? Because, as it turns out, if you ask a large enough group of diverse, independent people to make a prediction or estimate a probability, and then average those estimates, the errors each of them makes in coming up with an answer will cancel themselves out. Not any old crowd will do of course. For the crowd to be wise it has to satisfy four specific conditions, but once those conditions are met, its judgment is likely to be accurate. Surowieki concentrates on three kinds of problems. The first are cognition problems (problems that are likely to have definitive answers, such as: "How many books will Amazon sell this month?"). The second are problems of coordination (problems requiring members of a group to figure out how to coordinate their behaviour with one another) and the third are problems of cooperation (getting self-interested, distrustful people to work together-- despite their selfishness). The brilliant first half of the book illustrates this theory with practical examples. The second half of the book essentially consists of case studies with each chapter talking about the way collective intelligence either flourishes or flounders. Much of this part deals with business topics such as corporations, markets and the dynamics of a stock-market bubble. Surowieki has an engaging, direct style defending his surprising central thesis in entertaining ways by, for example, talking about laying bets on football games and political elections; traffic jams; Google; the "Challenger" explosion and the search for a missing submarine. The Wisdom of Crowds is an entertaining book making a serious point and by the end of the superb first half the reader has been made to accept that, while with most things, the average is mediocrity, when it comes to decision-making the average results in excellence. --"Larry Brown"

Summary: This book predicts the decline of today's professions and describes the people and systems that will replace them. In an Internet society, according to Richard Susskind and Daniel Susskind, we will neither need nor want doctors, teachers, accountants, architects, the clergy, consultants, lawyers, and many others, to work as they did in the 20th century. The Future of the Professions explains how 'increasingly capable systems' -- from telepresence to artificial intelligence -- will bring fundamental change in the way that the 'practical expertise' of specialists is made available in society. The authors challenge the 'grand bargain' -- the arrangement that grants various monopolies to today's professionals. They argue that our current professions are antiquated, opaque and no longer affordable, and that the expertise of their best is enjoyed only by a few. In their place, they propose six new models for producing and distributing expertise in society. The book raises important practical and moral questions. In an era when machines can out-perform human beings at most tasks, what are the prospects for employment, who should own and control online expertise, and what tasks should be reserved exclusively for people? Based on the authors' in-depth research of more than ten professions, and illustrated by numerous examples from each, this is the first book to assess and question the relevance of the professions in the 21st century.

Summary: Small World ist der erste Roman von Martin Suter und erschien 1997 im Diogenes Verlag. Das Buch ist der erste Teil seiner „neurologischen Trilogie“.
Handlung Konrad Lang, ein älterer Mann, soll eine Ferienvilla der sehr wohlhabenden Schweizer Industriellenfamilie Koch auf der griechischen Insel Korfu instand halten und verwalten. Er hat diesen Auftrag aus Gefälligkeit erhalten, weil er ein alter Freund der Familie ist. Er hat mit Thomas Koch, dem Sohn von Elvira Senn, der achtzigjährigen Konzernchefin, beinahe seine gesamte Kindheit und Jugend verbracht.
Die Villa der Kochs ist nicht für den Winter ausgerüstet. Obwohl Konrad nur das Pförtnerhäuschen bewohnen darf, verbringt er kalte Abende und Nächte im Gästetrakt der Villa. Hier entzündet er versehentlich einen Holzvorrat mit Benzin, woraufhin ein Brand entsteht, der den gesamten Gebäudekomplex zerstört. Konrads Fahrlässigkeit wird zunächst nur auf Alkoholmissbrauch zurückgeführt. Er wird von Thomas Koch zurück in die Schweiz geholt.
Trotz dieses Vorfalls wird Konrad in verringertem Umfang weiterhin von Elvira Senn protegiert. Sie stellt ihm eine möblierte Wohnung zur Verfügung und zahlt seine laufenden Kosten sowie ein monatliches Taschengeld. In einem Lokal lernt Konrad eine Frau kennen, Rosemarie Haug. Beide verlieben sich, und bald soll geheiratet werden. Es zeigt sich jedoch, dass Konrad unter einer fortschreitenden Altersdemenz leidet. Dies macht eine Heirat unmöglich, denn er vergisst Namen, verirrt sich beim Einkaufen oder findet nicht mehr den Weg heim. Schließlich vergisst er auch seine Beziehung zu Rosemarie. Diese hat ihn auf Rat des Neurologen Dr. Wirth, der ein Bekannter ihres vor Jahren verstorbenen Ehemannes ist, in ein Pflegeheim einweisen lassen.
Je vergesslicher Konrad in seinem gegenwärtigen Leben wird, desto besser erinnert er sich an sein früheres. Die Erinnerungen an alte Zeiten öffnen sich ihm wie ein Buch, und jeden Tag blättert Konrad eine Seite zurück, immer tiefer in seine Vergangenheit. Er erinnert sich an kleinste Details seiner Kindheit mit Thomas Koch, zu dem mittlerweile der Kontakt abgebrochen ist, weil Konrad sich der Anordnung Thomas', ihn wieder einmal ins Ausland zu begleiten, erstmals widersetzt hatte.
Im Pflegeheim kommt es zu einem Zwischenfall. Konrad Lang stürzt sich aus der dritten Ebene des Gebäudes, kann aber durch die Feuerwehr mit einem Sprungtuch aufgefangen werden. Daraufhin beschließt Simone Koch, die Schwiegertochter von Thomas, mit Zustimmung von Elvira Senn, den Demenzkranken im Gästehaus der Heimvilla der Kochs unterzubringen. Mit Hilfe Dr. Wirths ist das Gästehaus in eine Art „private Klinik“ für Konrad Lang umgebaut worden. Eigens engagiertes Pflegepersonal kümmert sich rund um die Uhr um ihn, und sein Schlafzimmer wird videoüberwacht.
Der Verlauf von Konrads Erkrankung ist Schwankungen unterworfen. Es gibt Tage, an denen er anscheinend Fortschritte macht, gefolgt von anderen mit Rückschlägen. Simone Koch verbringt viel Zeit mit Konrad. In „Fotositzungen“ zeigt sie ihm Fotos, und Konrad soll die Geschichte zu ihnen erzählen. Die Fotos stammen aus Konrads und Thomas' Kindheit. Elvira Senn hält sie unter Verschluss. Aber Simone hat sie heimlich kopiert. Zunächst kann sich „Koni“, wie sich Konrad Lang nennt, bis ins kleinste Detail an die Geschichten zu den Fotos erinnern. Bald aber kann er keinen richtigen Bezug zu den Bildern mehr herstellen. Anscheinend verwechselt er auf Bildern, auf denen Thomas und er abgebildet sind, die Namen der beiden, so als ob er selbst nicht mehr wüsste, wer er sei.
Elvira Senn hält die Fotos unter Verschluss, um ein schreckliches Geheimnis zu bewahren. Konrad Lang ist nämlich Thomas Koch und Thomas Koch ist eigentlich Konrad Lang. Die beiden wurden im Kindesalter von Elvira und ihrer Schwester Anna vertauscht. Konrad Lang ist der leibliche Sohn von Wilhelm Koch aus dessen erster Ehe und somit der Stiefsohn Elvira Senns. Thomas Koch seinerseits ist das Produkt einer Vergewaltigung der jungen Elvira durch einen Arbeitskollegen ihres Vaters.
Elvira Senn erfährt durch Zufall von den Fotositzungen und befürchtet, dass dabei ihr Geheimnis ans Licht kommt. Als Konrad durch den neuen, sich noch in der Testphase befindenden Wirkstoff „Pom55“ wieder Fortschritte macht, beschließt Elvira, Konrad umzubringen. Konrad ist sehr müde und liegt bereits im Bett, als Elvira Senn das Pflegepersonal um Einlass in das Gästehaus bittet. Als sie mit ihm allein ist, versetzt sie die Pom55-Infusion mit Insulin, damit Konrad an Unterzuckerung sterbe. Einige Stunden später bemerkt das Pflegepersonal, dass mit Konrad etwas nicht stimmt, und rettet mit der Gabe von Süßigkeiten sein Leben.
Videoaufnahmen, die routinemäßig zur Überwachung des Kranken gemacht worden sind, zeigen Elvira Senns Mordversuch. Sie kommt jedoch wenige Tage danach bei einem Autounfall ums Leben. Einige Jahre später ist Konrads Therapie mit dem inzwischen zugelassenen Medikament erfolgreich beendet. Sein Sprachzentrum ist wieder intakt, seine Altersdemenz nahezu gestoppt, und er kann wieder ein einigermaßen selbständiges Leben führen.

Summary: On reading this book you are a presented with everyday problems and the simply irrational way we make decisions- from leaving the cinema to international travel. This non-technical tale provokes thinking in a way that does not confuse the reader, but keeps them enthralled throughout- always wanting to read the next section.
To give you an idea- here is one of the simple irrationalities presented to us- You've paid to go and see a film, but don't like it- do you leave early? Whilst most people would say no, this book tempts us to say yes and shows us that this the logical way to do things. Essentially do we waste our time and money (and stay in the cinema) or just our money? Surely we should cut our losses and leave, but irrationality shows that in fact we don't we stick around in a way that shows our poor decision making.
Overall, irrationality presents solid arguments in a way thats easy to understand. A fantastic book.

Summary: This book took me further than others I have read on Zen. However, much of it is just repeated in the introduction book. The best part is Suzuki's explanation of the Buddha's will to find enlightenment, rather than just his intelligence or mythical facade.

Comments: Informal talks on Zen meditation and practice
Amazon Link
Summary: The most useful book on Zen I have read so far. Zen abhors analysis and description, and Suzuki takes a practical, human approach to the practice of zazen. The book was compiled from talks given by him at his Zen centres, and is full of honest advice and personal experience. I am on my third reading, and am finally getting to appreciate some of the messages. These concepts are in fact very simple, if you read with your heart rather than your head. It is free from Zen-stifling intellectual analysis and explanation which is found in lesser works, there is no struggling with brain-busting koans, and satori is never mentioned. One of the most important messages is very encouraging: that difficulty, distraction and hardship actually improve the practice of zazen. Great news for Beginners like me.

Summary: My English lecturer recomended this book to me, and I have never regretted buying it. As a non-native speaker of English, I find this reference book to be very straight foward and answers most, if not all, of my questions on English. The defferences between formal written English, and informal written English are clearly explained, and there are a lot of examples too. As a non-native speaker, the part on the differences between Brittish and American English is greatly appreciated. On top of that, entries on pronunciation, punctuation marks, idioms, taboo words, slang, spelling and others are also available. It is also very user-friendly as there is a solid index, and a cross-reference to related topics. I would recomend this book to those who are studying English in the elementary level, as well as the advanced non-native speakers as one will never fail to learn something new whenever one opens up the book.

Comments: Principles of marxian political economy
Amazon Link
Summary: Even if the marxist economic theory is viewed with some prejudice after the 20th century, it is always interesting to an Economics student read about the Karl Marx's works. And, if "Das Kapital", his most famous and influent book is very extensive and hard to be read in original, you have a great alternative in Sweezy's book. Sweezy is graduated in Harvard, and dedicated all his academic life to become the marxism an "integral and respected part of intellectual life of the USA". His "Theory of Capitalist Development" brings the Marx's ideas in an easy and very didactic way, and more: includes the discussion of another marxists, like Bortkiewicz, Bukharin and Rosa Luxemburg. It's wrong to think about this book as pamphlet of marxism. Sweezy is extremely analytic and critical, comparing the marxist theory with the classic and neo-classic theories, with academic rigor and respect. "Theory of Capitalist Development" is an excellent work, and should be a must-read for everyone who wants to understand the fundaments of a theory which changed the life of million of people.
