4 reviews

Random House Audio, 2000

Very Enjoyable Series of Stories about Small Town Life
Tom Bodett narrates his own stories about fictional, colorful characters living in a small Alaskan town. The stories are simple and bring out humor and emotion. Bodett's trademark deadpan narration about the funny and unusual events that take place among the significant townspeople are so good, it almost makes a person want to pack up and head for Alaska to live with these folks. I ...

Frank Snepp

University Press of Kansas, 2002

A Classic, for good reasons
In the 31 years since the "Fall of Saigon" no book has come out that better explains the events of April 1975 more thoroughly or more engagingly. Snepp had the advantage of actually being not only in Saigon for several years before and during the collapse but of being in the CIA. His insider's view is fascinating and honest. A must read for anyone interested in the topic.

Little Black Dress, 2006

A LIGHT READ AND A LOT OF FUN!
If you need a great little book that is a light read and a lot of fun, tuck this into your weekend bag! The characters are believable and funny, the settings realistic and fantastical, drawing you into the story and leaving you at the end of the book with a very satisfied sigh of warmth.

A Great Book with an Inspiring yet Practical Message
In "Decent People Decent Company" the authors have put forth a model which offers pragmatic insight in cultivating an enlightened culture of true leadership at all levels while stirring individuals to seek to continuously improve their ability to help and contribute in a positive way. I believe it is of particular value in its application to organizations which support ...

Kind And Decent Man (Reader's Choice)

Mary Brendan

Harlequin, 2001

indomitable heroine makes this novel worth reading
"A Kind And Decent Man" is the typical romance novel of misunderstandings, disapproving parents, and estranged lovers. However, Mary Brendan has managed to write and engrossing and riveting novel in spite of this old material, and she breathes new life into this classic tale, mainly because of the indomitable heroine that she has created in Victoria Hart. Victoria was eighteen years old when she ...

World Of Decent Dreams: Vietnam Images

Weatherhill, 2003

Vietnam and its people come alive in this visual journey behind the headlines and the preconceptions of the past. From village huts to the neon bustle of Ho Chi Minh City, Ellen Kaplowitz shows us a Vietnam where tradition still thrives in the changing social landscape. We see Vietnam at work in rice fields and on city streets, at prayer, at joyous and emotional family and communal rituals of life and death.

Well done rendition! Both basic & quirky ... GW is as thoughtful and considered as old Ben. A gem from time and place. I keep it in the office just to create the aire of respect for civility and decent (not perfect) behavior.

A Decent, Orderly Lynching: The Montana Vigilantes

9 reviews
Frederick Allen

University of Oklahoma Press, 2004

A fair and balanced - and thorough - look at the Montana vigilantes
One tends to associate the dark legacy of lynching almost exclusively with the South of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, but in point of fact the most extensive episode of vigilante justice in American history actually took place in the Montana territories in the 1860s. The Montana vigilantes have long been hailed as heroes in Montana (Montana Highway Patrolmen, for example, still bear a ...

George Washington

bnpublishing.com, 2007

Ageless advice for "civil" conduct.
Whether this little 30 page book is worth the price or whether George Washington copied these as a penmanship excercise from an english translation of some 16th century French Jesuit writings is immaterial. After you read these "Rules of Civility" you will feel like carrying this little red book around with you and handing it to rude people to read Rule # 1 "Every action done in company aught to ...

Jeffrey Hantover

Floating World Editions, 2007

Vietnam and its people come alive in this visual journey beyond headlines and preconceptions. From village huts to the neon bustle of Ho Chi Minh City, engaging and riveting images present a Vietnam where tradition still thrives in a changing social landscape, where the bonds of community and family, to ancestors and to the land, remain defining constants. We see Vietnam at work, in rice fields and on city streets, at play and in prayer, and at ...

Halfway Decent Sinners

Michael Cleary

WordTech Communications, 2005

Exceptional poetry, highly recommended
The back cover photo of Michael Cleary captures a man with twinkling eyes and mischievous smile. His poetry reflects that humor, but Cleary's work is multi-faceted. One critic extols his "eloquent exploration of our flawed human condition." This book is, indeed, drawn from a world he observes with a keen eye, then mourns or celebrates through a facile weaving of words. The Church becomes "a ...

Thanks, this is great.
It seems to me that it would be better that this book should have some comments about the author George Wshington.

Harvard University Press, 1998

Humiliation, Rights and Honor: What is a decent society?
Have you ever pondered the question, What is a decent society? Does the thought keep you awake at night, wondering, is the society in which I live decent?, and if not, do we sincerely ask oursleves, for example, am I decent anyway? and if not, and so on, do I need to do anything to change that situation? In this book, Avishai Margalit explains how he constructed his moral philosophy based on the ...

Random House Trade Paperbacks, 2007

Dry, but worth a second read
I grabbed this book from my local bookstore after being drawn in by the title. I've always had an interest in economics as whole, but never took the time to really dig myself into some reading material (besides the voluminous textbook I was forced to trudge through in college). Mr. Harford does a satisfactory job of trying to explain the devil in the details behind many of society's ...
