The Golovlyov Family (New York Review Books Classics)

3 reviews
Shchedrin, Mikhail Evgrafovich Saltykov, ...

NYRB Classics, 2001

Dark and deep
I just finished reading THE GOLOVLOV FAMILY and am still reeling from it. That anyone could read this novel and not feel utterly gripped by it is beyond me. On the back cover the publishers felt the need to compare this masterpiece to Faulkner and Marquez, but I think Balzac is much closer in spirit: Balzac channeled through a Russian soul. The plotline involving Annika, though crushing, is ...

Life Space Crisis Intervention: Talking With Students in Conflict

1 review
Nicholas James Long, Mary M. Wood, ...

Pro-Ed, 2001

An Excellent and Comprehensive Resource
Anyone familiar with special education or child mental health knows how few real "tools" there are in the box to deal with children who are emotionally disturbed and/or behaviorally disordered. This book provides the reader with some extremely HELPFUL approaches, and is highly recommended. First, the book provides an overview of the "conflict cycle," one that rightfully places the adult in ...

Army of the West: The Weekly Reports of German Army Group B from Normandy to the West Wall (Stackpole ...

Stackpole Books, 2007

In May 1944 German Army Group B, headquartered in France, requested weekly reports from its commanders. These accounts included assessments of the general situation, estimates of the Allies situation, casualty figures, equipment losses, and descriptions of resistance activities. Commanded successively by Erwin Rommel, Günther von Kluge, and Walter Model, Army Group B bore the brunt of the Allied assault--D-Day, the Normandy campaign, and ...

Analytical Reading Inventory: Comprehensive Assessment for All Students Including Gifted and Remedial

1 review
Mary Lynn Woods, Kelly James Clark

Prentice Hall, 2003

Analytical Reading Inventory
I have used every edition of the Analytical Reading Inventory, but this one is the best yet. Since I am a teacher educator, I find the accompanying audiotapes quite helpful--both to me and to my students. The content of the graded passages has always been real children's literature, and thus, more like real reading. There are both narrative and expository passages with different forms for ...

Maximum Ride: The Angel Experiment (Maximum Ride)

Deep Lie (Will Lee)

15 reviews
Stuart Woods

Brilliance Audio on CD Unabridged, 2008

Quite a good thriller
Another submarine thriller in the same vein as Tom Clancy but pacier and without the ponderous detail. The writing of course makes all the difference. A female protagonist discovers a master plan, a creation of a foreign government, and sets out to foil it. Her only obstacles are her bosses who do not believe the evidence. Woods appears to have researched this throughly. A vey good read.

How Fiction Works
James Wood

Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2008

Amazon Best of the Month, July 2008 : The first thing you'll notice about How Fiction Works is its size. At 252 pages, it's a marvel of economy for a book that asks such a huge question and right away you'll want to know (as you might at the start of a new novel) what the author has in store. James Wood takes only his own bookshelves as his literary terrain for this study, and that in itself is the most delightful gift: he joins his audience ...

Java Swing, Second Edition

76 reviews
James Elliott, Marc Loy, ...

O'Reilly Media, Inc., 2002

Encyclopedic tome on Swing is a great reference
This extremely hefty book on Swing has just about everything in it. However, it is intended to be a reference on Swing, not a tutorial. The problem with the Java Swing API is that it is so large and unwieldy itself that it is difficult to write a complete and useful reference that does not reflect that fact. If you need a good tutorial on Java Swing, you might want to look at the Core Java books ...

James Patterson

Hachette Audio, 2005

Awesome book - 11 yr old daughter read it all in 7 days
My daughter loved this book. Once she decided to try to read it she couldn't put it down. She finished the last half of the book in an all day reading marathon. She wants to continue reading the rest of the series. Her friend and her grandmother both want to borrow the book now based on her rating of it.

The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali

Patanjali

Dover Publications, 2003

The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali....translated by Alistair Shearer
This is an enlightening translation of the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali. This book is easy to read and contemplate on. The English word choices are thoughtful and consistent. Mr. Shearer also writes a wonderful introduction to the translated text. I once attended a philosophy lecture on Yoga by a college professor who claimed mastery of Tantric Yoga and the Sanskrit language. During lecture, ...

The Broken Estate: Essays on Literature and Belief (Modern Library Paperbacks)

10 reviews
James Wood

Modern Library, 2000

repetitive to say...but brilliant
Criticism for people who want to read something smart and insightful about books. It's a book for those who appreciate thinking long and deep about literature, who appreciate being introduced to aspects of language and content they may never have previously considered, who take literature seriously and feel no need to apologize for it. There simply is no critic writing today as consistently well ...

Nausea (Penguin Modern Classics)

90 reviews
Jean-Paul Sartre

Penguin Classics, 2000

The poetry of obsessive uselessness
Sartre's "Nausea" is a gripping, twitchy little novella confirming the ways one person of unpleasant station can make them self sick , nervous, an odious presence by lingering long on the ambivalent shrug .No one else could write a better tale of an intensely self-aware intellectual whose physical discomforts translate into a changed worldview. Not a lot of laughs, but Sartre does insert his ...

The Knowledge Management Yearbook 2000-2001 (Knowledge Management Yearbook)

2 reviews
James Cortada, John A. Woods

Butterworth-Heinemann, 2000

A very useful overview
40 articles by leading writers on aspects of knowledge management. The book covers the nature of Knowledge, Knowledge based strategies, Knowledge Management (KM) and organizational learning, and tools techniques and processes. They are of a uniformly high standard. This is a very valuable reference resource in what has become a rather incoherent field - with a welter of definitions and ...

Saul Bellow: Novels 1956-1964: Seize the Day, Henderson the Rain King, Herzog (Library of America)

3 reviews
Saul Bellow

Library of America, 2007

A beautiful edition of three powerful works by an American master
These are three very fine, even great, novels. Of course, one doesn't simply dash through Bellow. Each page requires and rewards close reading. While Bellow has been criticized for putting some things in his novels to show off his vast erudition, I found those details interesting and that they contributed to an understanding of the characters in each story. The first novel is also the ...

Whose Muse?: Art Museums and the Public Trust

2 reviews

Princeton University Press, 2006

Not a boring subject!
This is a compilation of essays written by directors of major art museums: Cuno from the Art Institute of Chicago, De Montebello from the Met, Lowry from the MoMA, MacGregor from the British Museum, Walsh of the Getty in LA, and Wood, formerly of the AIC. Each addresses how museums can cultivate public trust in cultural institutions, the kinds of authority museums have, and how they should ...

4 reviews
Saul Bellow

Library of America, 2003

Undisputably worthy of recognition and respect
Bellow: Novels 1944-1953 collects three novels by renowned author Saul Bellow: "Dangling Man"; "The Victim"; and "The Adventures Of Augie March". These three literary works distinguished Bellow as a great writer of the postwar era and set the groundwork for his intellectual pursuits. Exploring the human psyche, the brutal vagaries of chance, coming of age in the harsh Depression era, and more, ...

The Irresponsible Self: On Laughter and the Novel

5 reviews
James Wood

Picador, 2005

Sense and Sensibility
It is a truth universally acknowledged that there is no current literary critic who writes as brilliantly as James Wood. His metaphoric precision, his moral rigor, his exacting standards of literary excellence, his humanistic compassion dwarfs all competitors for the title. One would have to revert to Lionel Trilling, Edmund Wilson and Alfred Kazin to find comparable peers and, except perhaps for ...
