The authors make it easy to understand the local customs and people, and resist the urge to show off their knowledge of Italian admirably. The book is amusing in two ways: the comedy ...
  
  











  



  
Cultural Locations of Disability2 reviews
Sharon L. Snyder, David T. Mitchell

University Of Chicago Press, 2006

An intellectual feast
I recommend this book to anyone interested in the history of ideas surrounding disability - it is not just an application of cultural or feminist theory to examine a grouping but the development of a whole new way of conceptualising disability. I would say it is one of the best books I have read on the subject - although I do also have to add it can tend to ignore the realities of disability and ...

Mitchell the Adaptive Literary Expert
I've got problems enjoying books which've been translated from their original language. I gave up on Soul Mountain after 20 pages, quit on 100 Years of Solitude with 20 pages to go and barely held out Kafka on the Shore (maybe because I couldn't stand not knowing where the heck Murakami was going towards the end, maybe the translator did an above-par job, maybe I was more patient). So when ...
  
  











  



  
Debugging Java: Troubleshooting for Programmers14 reviews
Will David Mitchell

McGraw-Hill Companies, 2000

Useful bag of tricks, if a little basic
This book reads very well, and I truly enjoyed the afternoon spent perusing it. I would summarize it as presentation of a useful bag of tricks accumulated by the author, targeted at second year comp sci students. Be aware, though, that the author has not worked on large scale or complex problems, and his bag of tricks will need to be upgraded to more formal and robust approaches, common in the ...
