The Other Half of the Renaissance
Books on the Renaissance can be quite confusing to non-specialists. For example, Shakespeare classes in English schools discuss him as a Renaissance writer. Yet art teachers describe his near contemporary, Rubens, as the quintessential Baroque artist! So exactly what does Northern Renaissance Art cover? Is it an age that can be separated, marked out and surveyed by political or religious ...

The Blood Bankers: Tales from the Global Underground Economy

James S. Henry

Four Walls Eight Windows, 2003

Development Economics To The Next Level
"The Blood Bankers" is an important contribution to our understanding of global financial instability. Most often, liberalized (legitimate) capital markets, international trade, state power, and international regulatory institutions are cited as the causes of destabilization. However, J. Henry allows us to look behind these forces and bodies to see how the liberalization of the global economy has ...

The New Polytheism (Revised Edition)

David Leroy Miller

Spring Publications, 1981

Wonderfully thought-provoking!
_The New Polytheism_ is a treasure. It's the kind of book I've been longing to find: an intelligent, scholarly and thought-provoking treatise on polytheistic ways of thinking and creating meaning in the modern world. This is a must-read for modern polytheists and Neo-Pagans who hunger for something more substantial than the all-too-prevalent shallow, academically- and theologically-challenged ...

The book that inspired Taiichi Ohno
This is an outstanding book for those folks in manufacturing who are starting out on their "Lean" journey. The book teaches the uninitiated an original thinker's way of recognizing "waste" in manufacturing, and often, how to deal with that waste. Taiichi Ohno took a "shipload" of this book with him to Japan in the '50s and made sure that every Toyota engineer read the book. The rest is history as ...

The Dawn of Concience can set you free
Our ancient selves: On the turn of the millennium, Naguib Mahfouz, the Nobel laureate, wrote under this heading; "Aside from art and monotheism, we must not overlook the ethical framework of whose birth ancient Egypt was the first witness. In my youth I read a delightful book -- perhaps it was Breasted's 'The Dawn of Conscience' -- that deals with this issue, the writer stating that human ...

Henry James

Dover Publications, 1993

All things come to those who wait...or do they?
In this basically two person novella, John Marcher, believes that something, not necessarily wonderful, maybe even terrible-but something-would eventually spring on him unawares, like a beast in the jungle, and ultimately determine his fate. May Bartram, his friend throughout these many years, agrees to wait with Marcher to observe his destiny. _The Beast in the Jungle_, in its quiet, ...

James Henry Avery

Brassey's Inc, 2000

One from the Heart
As editor Eric J. Wittenberg expands his library of Custer-related works, they continue to improve on the already growing collection of first-person accounts of the "Boy General's" Michigan Cavalry. As the preeminent biographer of Brevet Brigadier General James Kidd, Wittenberg provides readers with a sense of "being there," and inescapable feeling that they are sharing a fireside chat with a ...

Modern Library, 1944

Essential -- the roots of modern short horror fiction
This book is, quite simply, the best collection of 19th and early-20th century short fiction of the dark variety in existence. First published in the 1940s, this single (albeit fat) volume is a goldmine of the roots of modern horror, a great way to see where today's horror heavyweights got their inspiration and influence. Some authors whose stories appear within: Bierce, Blackwood, Dickens, ...

Great intro to accounting
I liked reading this book for my accounting 101 class. The text is clear, well organized and well written. The typography makes liberal use of color, which makes reading _much_ easier when compared to a monochrome textbook. There are copious examples, illustrations and exercises. The book comes with a workbook (purchased separately) which contains template pages to write in your answers (trust ...

Unexpected Page Turner--Timeless
I am impressed with The New York Review's revival of this unexpectedly non-Jamesian title. A truly unique James choice to bring back to life--it's been done so with a cover so compelling (I'm not a tradional James fan) I opened the book which I found locally in a brick and mortar as they are now called, book shop. The internet cannot do justice to the thoughtful sophistication of this book's ...

Library of America, 1996

Little Gems from The Master
Henry James (1843-1916) was nicknamed The Master by admiring fellow-authors towards the end of his life. He is truly a noble, gifted, psychological author depicting a by-gone era but including timeless insights about human beings and their general and mental situations in his writings. He is a master of lengthy prose (too lengthy for some!) These Library of America editions of James's ...

Jossey-Bass, 1999

How-to road to recovering soul in health care
A beautiful and important book that straddles with much success the two worlds of health care and soul. It is a rich potpourri of paradigm shifts - from mechanistic to holistic medicine; comtemporary management thought - the organization as organism and connectedness; new philosophical and spiritual directions - integration of yin and yang, masculine and feminine, rational and emotive; ...

An excellent critcal analysis of modern philosophy.
William James again proves himself the champion of the average man. James' Fideististic approach to religion and the nature of existence is displayed in full form here as he attacks the intellectualist foundation of modern philosophy.

My daughter, husband and I all three found this to be a wonderful book. The story was told in a fashion that held the interest of all of us!

The Turn of the Screw (Case Studies in Contemporary Criticism)

4 reviews
Henry James

Bedford/St. Martin's, 2003

Still haunting after all these years.
One of the most seductive of all ghost stories, Turn of the Screw is a sophisticated and subtle literary exercise in which the author creates a dense, suggestive, and highly ambiguous story, its suspense and horror generated primarily by what the author does NOT say and does not describe. Compelled to fill in the blanks from his/her own store of personal fears, the reader ultimately conjures up a ...
