Rachels' best essays; about Professor Rachels
This is a great collection of some of Rachels' best essays. They are clearly written and show someone engaged in moral philosophy at its best. I highly recommend them. Professor Rachels recently passed away from cancer (Sept. 6, 2003). Information about his life and work, and the eulogies given at his funeral, are avaiable here: http://www.bradpriddy.com/rachels/jimbo.htm Professor Rachels ...

Complete idiot's Guide to Sex on the Net

James Anders, Rachel Anders, ...

Alpha, 1998

Offers just what the title promises: a net-sex yellow pages
I found this book recommended on Coyote's site, and wondered just what it was that America's foremost prostitutes' orginization would recommend it. No, it's not a guidebook to finding hookers with WEB sites, but it is an excellently organized guide, in the same general format as others in the Complete Idiot's series, to WEB sites for vicarious thrills, sexually related products and accurate, ...

If Only.............
If only this book was available when I was starting my 29-year teaching career! Although each teacher develops his/her own teaching style, depending upon what works for you, the tips in this book are so motivating, energizing, practical, and just plain helpful that you want to keep reading. If I were starting my career today, I would be excited to try out many of these tips in my own classroom. ...

Tantor Media, 2008

A Rich Portrait Of American Expatriate Life
Rachel Kushner has written a stunner of a debut novel, complete with wealthy and blissfully unaware expatriate Americans, philandering husbands and alcoholic wives, a zazou dancer (based on a real-life person), and two coming-of-age characters -- K.C. Stiles and Everly Lederer, who try to make sense of it all. Within these pages, historic figures filter in and out -- former Cuban president Prio, ...

Funding Evil: How Terrorism Is Financed--and How to Stop It

15 reviews
Rachel Ehrenfeld, R. James Woolsey (Foreword)

Bonus Books, 2003

Essential reading
Funding Evil will arm you with enough knowledge to see the outlines of the jihad strategy to spread sharia and Dar al Islam around the world. It is dense with enough detail to make it a vital reference, yet engaging and readable for mainstream audiences. It ought to be available in every library in America and the West. Scanning the book, it's not hard to see why libel tourists such as Khalid ...

Problems from Philosophy

James Rachels

McGraw-Hill Humanities/Social Sciences/Languages, 2004

An excellent introduction to philosophy
After reading T.Z. Lavine's _From Socrates to Sartre_, I stumbled upon Rachels' _Problems from Philosophy_. While Lavine's book is a great history of philosophy, Rachels covers what philosophy IS. The book broadly discusses the major fields of philosophy: free will vs. determinism (exploring the question "is there such a thing as free will?" - the answer may surprise you), the nature of evil ...

Shades Of Blue Volume 1

Devil's Due Publishing, 2005

Great Comic Book For All Ages!
I first bought the #2 Shades of Blue for Mary, my 13 year old. Both of us were pretty happy with the writing and the characters in the issue (I hate to admit I bought it for her and I actually enjoyed reading it as well). Heidi is an average high school girl with unwanted super powers (aren't all tennagers). She fights off villians around her school with her friends against teachers and ...

KOLCHAK LIVES ON THANKS TO MOONSTONE!
When Kolchak: The Nightstalker premiered in 1974, I was firmly convinced it was the greatest show ever. Unfortunately not enough people thought the same way I did and the show lasted a single season...just 20 episodes in all. Despite that, the show has continued to have a strong cult following and re-runs were still turning up on the Sci-Fi channel just a couple of years ago. ABC even did a ...

Marriages: Spring 60, A Journal of Archetype and Culture

1 review

Continuum International Publishing Group, 1997

A must whether you're married or not!
"It is as important to talk about marriages as to talk about the national election." This quotation from Phyllis Rose, referred to in one of the eleven articles of volume six of the journal Spring, devoted to marriage, resonates through the entire issue in an astonishing variety of ways. From publisher James Hillman's own reflections on "Marriage, Intimacy, Freedom" to Ginette Paris' "If You ...

The American Promise, Volume 2

Rachel Standish, Christopher Stacey, ...

Bedford/St. Martin's, 2001

Narative Textbook
Although "Roark seems to emphasize some events that seem less important to U. S. History" as Mr. Jack A. White stated, this book is written in the narrative stand point. Therefore, it should be read more like a story and not a textbook. If you're using this book in high school, it will be good practice since more college books are narrative.

The Right Thing To Do

McGraw Hill Higher Education, 2006

Insensitive and biased, or brilliant?
Natalia's response makes one wonder whether she herself was perhaps among the unfortunate babies born without a brain. Yes, if there were no other human beings in the world other than this one brainless baby, maybe I would keep the brainless baby around to help comfort me by reminding me of the lost human species. However, in fact there are lots of other human beings, most of whom have brains, so ...

Matters of Life and Death

Tom Regan, Thomas L. Beauchamp, ...

McGraw-Hill Humanities/Social Sciences/Languages, 1992

A great introduction into some very important topics
I read this book with an open mind, ready for anything. I was happily surprised to find that for a book with such political implications the authors remained true to their goal: discovery of the truth. No matter whether you agree with them or not, this book is a valuable tool for anyone. It teaches us how to look objectively and carefully at topics that we often have preconditioned ideas ...

McGraw-Hill Osborne Media, 2002

Don't miss out because title is misunderstood....
Upon reading the reviews of this book, I can understand how some have mistaken what the book was truly meant for based on its title. The book should be titled more along the lines of "Your First Job Working As a DBA: 101" or "Your Job as an Oracle DBA from Jr. to Sr. Is This the Job for You ?", you get the point. In the section of the book titled "Getting Started", the authors explain ...

The Elements of Moral Philosophy

31 reviews
James Rachels, Stuart Rachels

McGraw-Hill Humanities/Social Sciences/Languages, 2006

Asking All The Right Questions
"The Elements of Moral Philosophy" is a fabulous, non-technical introduction to ethics. The writing is clear and historically informed, the main schools of thought are covered, and Rachels doesn't pretend that he's found all the answers to very difficult questions. I can't think of a better book for a college student who is new to philosophical ethics and wants to get a feel for how ...

Ary Stillman: From Impressionism to Abstract Expressionism

1 review
Michael Betancourt, David Craven, ...

Merrell, 2008

the many sides of this prominent modern artist
In the opening essay, the noted art critic Donald Kuspit brings Ary Stillman into focus by comparing him with the much better-known Jackson Pollack: "Stillman and Pollack synthesized Cubism and Expressionism. That is, they were inventors, not simply Cubist campfollowers." This originality is evident in Stillman's paintings as it is with Pollack's. Their synthesis "was catalyzed by Surrealism in ...

Created from Animals: The Moral Implications of Darwinism

6 reviews
James Rachels

Oxford University Press, USA, 1990

Created from Animals...and then some!
Rachels spends a good deal of time setting the intellectual and historical context in which Darwin's theory appears. He slowly but surely initiates the reader into the labyrinth of evolutionary theory with all the interesting characters such as Huxley and Wallace. The book is quite good, and lays out the argument of why one should look at non-human animals as of a different degree rather ...
