Ghost Train to the Eastern Star: On the Tracks of the Great Railway Bazaar

16 reviews
Paul Theroux

Houghton Mifflin, 2008

Travel writing as an act of personal illumination
I am a great fan of Paul Theroux's travel writing (interesting to note that I have never read one of his novels). His last two travel books, GHOST TRAIN and DARK STAR SAFARI, have an added unique pleasure to them. In each he re-visits a prior trip. In the case of GHOST TRAIN he attempts to retrace his route taken and written about in his first travel book, THE GREAT RAILWAY BAZAAR (1975). Want to ...

The Cathedral & the Bazaar: Musings on Linux and Open Source by an Accidental Revolutionary

Eric S. Raymond

O'Reilly Media, Inc., 2001

Simply a Great Book
I could not put this book down. In a nutshell: it's is about software and development models. Don't yawn just yet - this book definitely held onto my attention throughout. Eric Raymond has a great way of introducing the subject matter as he shares his first-hand experiences as a free software developer. If you ever tried or thought about writing software, especially free (as in speech) software, ...

The Great Railway Bazaar

Paul Theroux

Mariner Books, 2006

A peerless and unforgettable travel narrative
This fabulous account of getting on the train in London and riding trains (including the decrepit Orient Express) through Europe, across Asia as far east as Japan, then looping back to Europe on the Trans-Siberian, is not a bit dated, even though it was first published in 1975. Theroux is sometimes cross and prickly, but he doesn't miss a thing, and he ventures into places (and eats things) that ...

Paul Theroux

Penguin (Non-Classics), 1995

A Wondrous Adventure aboard the Orient Express
Note: I made some immature Mormon angry because of my negative reviews of books that attempted to prove the Book of Mormon, and that person has been slamming my reviews almost as fast as they are posted. So, your "helpful" votes are appreciated. Thanks, and note that a short review is not necessarily a bad review if it leads you to a great book. If you always dreamed of traveling, then do ...

Reinventing the Bazaar: A Natural History of Markets

15 reviews
John McMillan

W. W. Norton & Company, 2003

Finally, a reasonable, non-ideological book about markets
I had never expected to give a 5-star review to a book about markets. But this book is a very even-handed description, favoring a case-by-case approach to "market design". Government is neither all bad nor all good, and markets are neither all good nor all bad, in this view. Nor does McMillan wrap markets in the mantles of politics and/or religion, a la Milton Friedman, George Gilder and others. ...

What If.
What if ...Iran covertly buys Enriched Uranium from North Korea?...then claims it produced it ..this is the very reason Israel has made contingency plans for a strike on the Known Nuclear sites...its really hard to believe that the World is not taking the Iranian threat seriously,during WW2 we had "Plausible" deniability that a Whole race of people were being savagely eradicated because nothing ...

Bazaar Style: Decorating With Market and Vintage Finds

2 reviews
Selina Lake, Joanna Simmons

Ryland Peters & Small, 2008

BOHEMIAN SPLENDOR!
I love this look and find it a fun and easy way to decorate, HOWEVER, I caution those less adventurous folks to find a more mainstream book for reference. This book focuses on the flea market, ethnic look which is not a look based on balance or anything cohesive...it's an "anything goes" kind of look which is perfect if you are just starting out and trying to put a home together with odds and ...

Diana Vreeland: Bazaar Years

6 reviews
John Esten, Katherine Betts

Universe Publishing, 2001

it's FABULOUS, daaaaarling!
I LOVED this book. Diana Vreeland's "Why don't you..." suggestions are absolutely wild. They're obviously intended for women of *great* means (why don't you give a diamond bracelet as a gift to the wife of your favorite bandleader?). And some of the suggestions are so out there, I swear she was chewing magic mushrooms. My favorite is the suggestion to put in a private staircase from your bedroom ...

Body Bazaar: The Market for Human Tissue in the Biotechnology Age

Lori Andrews, Dorothy Nelkin

Crown, 2001

Who Owns Your Body?
If you took a human being and dismantled the body into its elements of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, phosphorus, and the rest, you would get a collection of pure chemicals that used to estimated as worth 89 cents. That's what you get if you take all the information and structure away. Information and structure within our bodies are worth something, and are worth more and more every day as we are ...

The Money Bazaar : Inside the Trillion-Dollar World of Currency Trading

4 reviews
Andrew Krieger

Crown, 1992

Great overview!
This is a great book. Mr.Krieger gives you the history of how foreign currency trading came about. He also provides you insight into how curreny trading work and more importantly how it fails. He doesn't give specific strategies on how to trade currencies, but he does introduce vocabulary and resources to help you get started. In that respect the book is out of date. There is no discussion on the ...

My Kinda Street Maxwell Street is...
Ira Berkow's Maxwell Street,about Chicago's 'Jewish Bazaar' and the famous and not so famous characters that spent time there has to be one of the handful of really special books ever written;pound for pound or otherwise. I received a copy of it for a graduation present and continually reread Berkow's interviews and stories.Chicago is a city that doesn't make too many mistakes,but the sad ...

Gods in the Bazaar: The Economies of Indian Calendar Art (Objects/Histories)
Kajri Jain

Duke University Press, 2007

Gods in the Bazaar is a fascinating account of the printed images known in India as “calendar art” or “bazaar art,” the color-saturated, mass-produced pictures often used on calendars and in advertisements, featuring deities and other religious themes as well as nationalist leaders, alluring women, movie stars, chubby babies, and landscapes. Calendar art appears in all manner of contexts in India: in chic elite living ...
