AIDS and Accusation: Haiti and the Geography of Blame

4 reviews
Paul Farmer

University of California Press, 2006

Reading this book will change your life
Farmer's excellent historical ethnography of Haitian illness (as seen through the contemporary context of the world AIDS epidemic), proves the necessity of developing anthropological approaches to understanding health systems and implementing medical care. The diagnosis and analysis of sickness, disease, illness, and treatment should go hand-in-hand with the cultural understanding of local ...

Silhouette, 1998

Funny and Romantic
This short, romantic story packs quite a punch. When Ethan arrives in the small town of Endicott, Indiana, he brings with him a cloud of suspicion that Angie Ellison cannot wait to uncover. As the town reporter, she sets about to discover why Ethan has come to town and what he wants with her fathers' company. Ethan is a murderous mob/mafia man, or is he? Angie and Ethan grow closer as the book ...

Plenty of Blame to Go Around: Jeb Stuart's Controversial Ride to Gettysburg

Eric J. Wittenberg, J. David Petruzzi

Savas Beatie, 2006

Definitive account of two things -- Stuart's ride and 140 years of postmortem analysis
As a history of Stuart's epic ride, this book has no peer. As even-handed historiography of the critical aftermath, echoing for well over a century, it also no peer. I have two trivial criticisms: 1) the title isn't quite accurate, I think -- however many people were in the decision loop during those critical days, Stuart surely must have realized, at some point, that he had brought his ...

MPC Press, 1997

"Men aren't from Mars, Women aren't from Venus"
is what this book should be called. I really feel closer to women having read this, I realize now how much more alike we really are, even though we sometimes see the world differently. The author is clear, has depth, and really makes a lot of sense about bringing men and women together in a world of books that make men and women seem like strangers from different worlds.

The Gods Are Not to Blame (Three Crowns)

3 reviews
Ola Rotimi

Oxford University Press, 1974

A SPLENDID WORK LITERATURE
Ola Rotimi's the Gods are not the blame, is one of those splendid works of literature that though Shakespearan in its inclination, still rears its head to a genuine and wholesome stance. African writers like Rotimi and Soyinka have a way of conjuring a sense of nostalgia of African society, that intrudes to the innermost ends of our hidden being, and make us nod in reflective acknowledge of the ...

Mark H Graeser

Christian Educational Services, 1994

Everything we should have learned in Sunday school but didn't..
Mark Graesser does a fabulous job providing truth from scripture about God, His Word, His Plan and how He is FOR us not against us. If you have lost a loved one and some said "God works in mysterious ways" or "God needed another rose petal in heaven" - don't believe them, read this book. This book should be required seminary reading for every Minister, Pastor, Teacher, Evangelist, Church ...

Caroline B. Cooney

Putnam Pub Group Juv, 1992

This book was really great!
I enjoy almost all of Caroline B. Conney's work, and I must say, this book was one of her best. It is written in the first person by a girl who's older sister returns home on her 25th birthday. Her sister creates a crisis in the family by controling her parent with crazy antics. While the narrorator is having a great emotional struggle at home, she is trying to sort out feelings for two ...

Golden Rule Publishers, 2007

Light for the unenlightened
I met the author of this book at a conference titled THE AMAZ!NG MEETING, which is organized by the James Randi Educational Foundation (JREF). We happened to sit together at one of the meeting's luncheons. He gave me a promotional flyer about the book, but the few copies he brought had sold out rather quickly. I ordered it from Amazon when I got home, and I am enjoying it thoroughly. Mr. Uhl ...

WHEN IN DOUBT...BLAME A JEW!: A PERSONAL AND PEOPLE'S MEMOIR OF ANTI-SEMITISM

50 reviews
ARNOLD P. ABBOTT

1st Books Library, 2004

Intriguing and informative
"When in Doubt...Blame a Jew!" was one of the most enlightening and educational books I have read. I am of Jewish faith, went to Hebrew school, and was bat-mitzvah'd but never have I gained as much insight about the Jewish religion as I did from reading this book. It covered the history in great depth and also added humor which really made it a pleasure to read. The author's ability to relay his ...

Howard Barker: Collected Plays, Vol. 1 (Claw, No End of Blame, Victory, the Castle, Scenes from an Execution)

Howard Barker

Calder Publications, 1990

Having Drowned, Appreciating the Flood.
For those interested in the English language - its violence, naturalness and unaturalness, modern poetic capacity, or jagged edges - no one in the last 150 years has used it with the same dexterity as Mr. Barker. This collection covers his early-middle period - he's written well over forty plays - where as an artist he is still searching for balance between the importance of narrative, and his ...

Beauty And The Brain (Blame It On Bob) (Desire #1130)

Elizabeth Bevarly

Silhouette, 1998

The best of the trilogy!!
Comet "Bob" is back and the town of Endicott, Indiana is celebrating. Why the comet passes over this town is a mystery, but some still believe in the legend: when someone born in the year of the comet makes a wish when Bob passes over the town, the wish will come true on his next visit. Rosemary wished her nemesis Willis would get "what is coming to him" when she was 15. Now he's back to study ...

Is It You or Is It Me?: How We Turn Our Emotions Inside Out and Blame Each Other

Scott Wetzler, Diane Cole

HarperCollins, 1998

Concrete information for troubled relationships!
This is one of the best books I have ever read on what is really happening within a relationship between two people. This book gets to the point on how individual's think and how that thinking causes confusion and relationship problems. Many books like this are nice to read and then you close the book and that's it. This one is different. I would recommend this to those who have a pattern of ...

Everything I Do You Blame on Me: Why Should I? It's Not My Birthday! (Self-Esteem Series) (Self-Esteem Series)

Allyson Aborn

Childswork/Childsplay, 1994

From everything I've read, this is the best!
As a caseworker/mother/soon to be teacher, I found this book to be well-written for parents and children to share. The examples are realistic to a child's experience of uncontrolled anger, including feelings associated with not taking responsibility like loss of friends, getting yelled at, etc. It is written in a non-judgemental way yet provides helpful suggestions on how to control anger. ...

Inspirations: On the Path of Blame (Threshold Sufi Classics)

2 reviews
Badr Al-Din Mahmud Ibn Qadi Simawnah, Shaikh Tosun Bayrak, ...

Threshold Books, 1993

A gem
This book is unique in its kinds, as I'm not aware of many other insightful books on malamiyya, or "path of blame" within Islamic Sufism. Shaikh Badruddin of Simawna (1358-1420 AD) was a shaikh of melamiyya, or the "path of blame", which is an approach to spiritual development within Islamic Sufism that avoids the appearance of piety and challenges the self-satisfaction of the ego. From the ...

Beyond Blame: A Full-Responsibility Approach to Life (Technology for the Soul)

2 reviews
Yehuda Berg

Kabbalah Publishing, 2006

A review of "Beyond Blame..."
This is one of many books I have read that were written by Yehuda Berg. (My first was "The 72 Names of God," which I found very illuminating.) In "Beyond Blame...," probably the most important theme I have come away with is that we need to own up to our actions. If we make a misstep (and we all do at one time or another), it is far better if we own up to it and resolve that we will remember ...

Soon we will have absolutely no freedoms, making us prisoners in our own country! Tony provides real solutions! A must addition to anyones library!

Blame It on the Dog: A Modern History of the Fart

Jim Dawson

Ten Speed Press, 2006

Dawson blasts us again!
After experiencing the sweet smell of success from his previous book on flatulence, "Who Cut the Cheese: A Cultural History of the Fart," crepitus king Jim Dawson has cut loose again with a sequel that manages at the same time to be hilarious and scholarly. Dawson's good-natured tone also keeps "Blame it on the Dog" away from being a bathroom book in questionable or sophomoric taste. If you ...

Blame Canada!: South Park And Contemporary Culture

2 reviews
Toni Johnson-Woods

Continuum International Publishing Group, 2007

It's about time!
Just when I began to despair about finding a real fan resource for South Park, along comes "Blame Canada". The various edited volumes about South Park and philosophy (Arp and Hanley) seem to be collections of scholarly opinions that I am sure are important to some obscure university lecture series on philosophy, and Anderson's "South Park Conservatives" is really only of interest to militant Log ...

Free yourself from blame
Blame affects our lives in ways we rarely think about. In fact,the blame game begins as soon as we understand language. Children are bombarded by blame: Research shows they are subjected to about 200 complaints every day from parents and teachers, says Dr. William J. Knaus. But make no mistake. Knaus isn't blaming anyone. In his remarkable new book, "Take Charge Now! Powerful Technqiues for ...
