1990 Books

I discovered this book, and tried this system years ago, and it was "fabulous," just as it claimed to be. I lost 10 lbs. a month, easily, and felt energetic and full--not deprived or depressed.

It's exactly like South Beach (too exactly, in fact), except for one small detail: a secret natural ingredient that banishes food cravings and helps your body feel safe enough to let go of the extra weight.

Dr. Cooper was a specialist in this field, and developed this because of the difficulty his patients had. It's simple, practical, and pleasant--great combo in a diet plan. I loved it, and felt great while the weight melted off.

Finally, an academic who puts it into words so the rest of us can understand! Dragon in a Three Piece Suit tackles difficult issues in a way that is easily understandable to those of us who don't study economic systems full-time but are interested in learning about them. Guthrie manages to write a compelling work that is simply eloquent - a book that appeals to both academics and the regular-Joe. I appreciated his insights and predictions regarding Chinese economic reform.

Restrained, yet both moving and powerful, this book tells the tale of one of Scotland's most horrible tragedies. On Wednesday 13 March 1996, in Dunblane Primary School, sixteen children and their teacher were murdered by a gun wielding madman. Author Mick North, whose daughter Sophie was one of the victims, analyses the events leading up to the attack. He then examines the social and political effects of the tragedy from his own unique perspective.

Mick begins by providing the background to his own life, from age twenty-seven up to the tragedy. He talks about his courtship and marriage to his wife Barbara, the birth of their only child Sophie, .... He also examines the conflicted attitude of the Dunblane community towards the grief of the victim's families, and considers the issue of gun control on a more global scale.

North's analysis of events is very thorough. He leave virtually no stone unturned in his quest for the truth. The incompetence, ignorance and downright arrogance of some of the people he discusses leave the reader bewildered at times, but he is never less than fair.

Running through all this is a strong emotional thread and he talks in a very honest and restrained way about the feelings of both himself and the other bereaved families, who found themselves in a situation they never had any right to expect. He never gushes about his feelings, which makes what he writes all the more touching.

The final words of the book, addressed to his much-missed daughter, are heart-rending.

A brilliant, but very painful read.

This updated, expanded edition celebrates Dylan's 60th birthday and includes writings by some of the notables of his time, from Ken Kesey and Joan Baez to Simon Winchester and Bruce Springsteen. Essays offer insights on his life and influences and provide a personal overview of music and history.

Are you sick of waiting around while our governments allow corporations to ravage our world's natural resources and uneducated people to overpopulate the planet until it is entirely uninhabitable? Do you want to take a, ahem, more proactive approach to environmental activism? If you answered yes and yes, then this book is an excellent start. It covers many of the basic ideas for the beginning eco-terrorist. Go green!

I am planning a trip to Africa and have scoured many bookstores and shelves for THE BOOK. Footprints provides a wonderful book for those who really want to know EVERYTHING in preparation for their trip--from tipping guides to safari ratings to hotel guides to crime and embassy information--ad infinitim. This book is wealth of practical information and provides maps, history, culture and language information and even has a built in glossy color wildlife section on the flora and fauna one will encounter whilst in East Africa. Having a comprehensive guide in a small package (~6x4 in) is essential since travellers are limited to backage weight restrictions. (Books taken are thusly limited). This book will provides excellent reading material (as well as a travel resource) for all things East African before, during and after travel. Restaurants and hotels are rated by $ and quality, as are safari companies. Each page is double columned in small print, absolutely LOADED with essential information. The version offered for 1999 has a hardbinding, which is a plus. Unfortuantely, all post-1999 Footprint editions are now softcover. If you can take only one book, this is it. This one will be one of two books in my bag. The other one will be Hemingway's 'Green Hills of Africa.'

College-level collections strong on socialist and economic systems will welcome this historical review of socialist economic post WWII. It analyzes the major points of socialistic economics, from profit and growth to consumption, labor, pricing and banking, offering a comprehensive survey of the economics of formerly communist regimes and economic systems. It's a comprehensive survey suitable for classroom discussion at the college level.
