Searching for Sebald
Richard Crownshaw, Adrian Daub, ...

Institute of Cultural Inquiry, 2007

W.G. Sebald's books are sui generis hybrids of fiction, travelogue, autobiography and historical expos , in which a narrator (both Sebald and not Sebald) comments on the quick blossoming of natural wonders and the long deaths that come of human atrocities. All his narratives are punctuated with images--murky photographs, architectural plans, engravings, paintings, newspaper clippings--inserted into the prose without captions and often without ...

Julius Caesar (Arkangel Shakespeare)

4 reviews
William Shakespeare

BBC Audiobooks America, 2005

Great in the Classroom
I have used this version in teaching Julius Caesar to sophomores in high school with great luck. The actual length of each scene shows on my computer (Windows Media Player), so I can plan lessons appropriately. The actors do an excellent job and my students enjoy listening as they follow along in the lit. texts. I whole-heartedly endorse this item.

John Carver on Board Leadership

John Carver, Sir Adrian Cadbury

Jossey-Bass, 2001

The rest of John Carver
If you have read John Carver's books and watched his videotaped lectures, you have just begun to scratch the surface. In addition to "Boards That Make A Difference," "Reinventing Your Board," and "A New Vision of Board Leadership," Carver has produced an amazing array of short pieces designed for those who want to use Policy Governance. This book, "On Board Leadership," is a convenient compendium ...

Man with a Mission (Star Wars: Boba Fett)

2 reviews
Thomas Andrews, Ron Marz, ...

Dark Horse, 2007

Boba Fett doing what he does
The graphic novel collects issues seven and twenty-eight of the comic-book series "Star Wars Empire" along with a couple of one-shots. In "Sacrifice", the governor of Solem hires Fett to hunt down Yolan Bren, a local Rebel leader. I found this to be the weakest story and I had difficulty differentiating between all the green aliens. "Wreckage" finds Fett searching through the remains of a ...

The Right Nation: Conservative Power in America

63 reviews
John Micklethwait, Adrian Wooldridge

Penguin (Non-Classics), 2005

November 7, 2006 Election Adds More Evidence to Support Right Nation Thesis
The fascinating thing regarding the election held only two days ago was the alleged conservatism of a number of Democratic Party candidates. Some were anti-abortion, pro-gun, strongly against illegal immigration, and desire victory in Iraq. Are they conning the voters? We will find out soon enough. Nonetheless, they didn't run as liberals! An affirmative action measure was even resoundedly ...

Jesus, Keep Me Near the Cross: Experiencing the Passion and Power of Easter
Nancy Guthrie

Crossway Books, 2009

This collection of readings, drawn from the writings and sermons of 25 classic and contemporary theologians and Bible teachers, focuses on the wonder of Christ?s sacrifice. In a culture where crosses have become little more than decorative accessories and jewelry, how easy it is for even the most well-intended Christian to rush from Palm Sunday to Easter Sunday without thoughtfully contemplating the cross and all that it means. Yet we miss out ...

The Witch Doctors: Making Sense of the Management Gurus

36 reviews
John Micklethwait, Adrian Wooldridge

Three Rivers Press, 1998

The best summary on management theory there is
Great fun, great wit, great journalism. These guys started off as outsiders but they clearly are top-class journalists: they truly captured all the "strengths, weaknesses, opportunities & threats" that all the true, semi or fake gurus have produced since Taylor, Sloan and Drucker. A must have!

China: The World's Last Steam Railway

2 reviews

Artist's and Photographers' Press Ltd, 2008

Absolutely Stunning! - Buy this book!
This has to be one of the best railroad photography books of all time. It ranks right up there with "The Great Steam Trek" of about 20 years ago which contained many great photos of South African steam in its final days, and the O. Winston Link books, which did the same for steam on the Norfolk & Western. The photos contained in this volume, which were primarily taken in the winter months, ...

Roman Warfare (History of Warfare)

19 reviews
Adrian Goldsworthy, John Keegan

Cassell, 2000

Best $12 I've spent on any book
This book was fantastic, Adrian Goldsworthy knows his stuff, and puts forward not just fact but his own well educated view to the reader. I would have gladly have spent double what I paid for it. It is an overview, but is still well detailed and provides information regarding the change in the Roman army (of both the soldier and unit organisation) from about 700BC until the 6th century AD, ...

Ramus, Method, and the Decay of Dialogue: From the Art of Discourse to the Art of Reason

S.J., Walter J. Ong

University Of Chicago Press, 2005

Walter Ong on Ramus is still required reading
A review of Walter Ong's famous study, Ramus, method, and the Decay of Dialogue, may seem odd now more than fourty years after the book first appeared (1958, republished 1983). Back then it was more than positively received by great renaissance scholars like Wilbur S. Howell, R.R. Bolger, Neal W. Gilbert, John E. Murdoch and others. Murdoch wrote that "anyone with the slightest interest in the ...

The Nature of the Book: Print and Knowledge in the Making

6 reviews
Adrian Johns

University Of Chicago Press, 2000

mistitled
Adrian Johns tells us much less about the nature of the book than about the origins of the Royal Society for the Promotion of Natural Knowledge, the physical conditions in which books were printed and distributed, and the architecture of the Royal Stationers Hall. These subjects are lovingly treated with, as another reviewer noted, Johns's prolix style -- not only could the book have shaved a ...

A Future Perfect: The Challenge and Hidden Promise of Globalization

16 reviews
John Micklethwait, Adrian Wooldridge

Crown Business, 2000

Outstanding study of the drivers of globalization
Exhaustively researched and thoroughly considered, A Future Perfect tries to communicate the "other view" of globalization, that of the economists and businesspeople who see its benefits to society. By presenting both sides of the story, then rebutting the anti-globalization viewpoint, Micklethwait and Woolridge nearly achieve their goal of proving globalization is a net positive to the world. ...

A Future Perfect: The Challenge and Promise of Globalization

John Micklethwait, Adrian Wooldridge

Random House Trade Paperbacks, 2003

The best book on globalization!
GLOBALIZATION is a process where people, things, ideas, capital and commerce is able to freely travel anywhere in the world. As a result, the notion of comparative advantages are becoming far more frequent. More people are exposed to competition than ever before, and this has been a good thing for most people (i.e., witness the cheaper and better American cars). Globalization has been very ...
