The Fall and Rise of the Islamic State (Council on Foreign Relations) 8 reviews
Noah Feldman
Princeton University Press, 2008
Cool headed scholar
It appears Feldman, has stayed true to his scholarly understanding of what Islam is all about, and has not been overtaken by present time demonization of Islam. In reality Islam is modification on Judaism , while accepting the best of Christianity. Saudis, Talaban and Alghadeh are not Islam. They are every thing that Islam negated. Gilded palaces of Saudi Family is not Islamic, restricting women ...

Are Lobsters Ambidextrous?: An Imponderables Book (Imponderables Books) 1 review
David Feldman
Collins, 2005
A great book that you might not want to buy
This- along with all the other Imponderables Titles by David Feldman- is chock full of fascinating trivia and answers to many of Lifes little questions. If you have never read any of these Imponderable books before, I highly recommend it. However- if you are a fan of these books- you likely would be wasting your money. Why? becuase this is "When did Wild Poodles Roam the Earth" retitled, much as ...

Give My Regards to Eighth Street: Collected Writings of Morton Feldman 5 reviews
Morton Feldman, Frank O'Hara
Exact Change, 2001
a primary document of the American avant-garde
" The day Jackson Pollock died I called a certain man I knew- a very great painter-and told him the news. After a long pause he said, in a voice so low it was barely a whisper,' That son of a b---he did it'. . . . With this supreme gesture Pollock had wrapped up an era and walked away from it." Feldman was very much part of that era, the Fifties when American art was becoming the most important ...

How Does Aspirin Find a Headache? (Imponderables Books)4 reviews
David Feldman
Collins, 2005
a blast to read and share with others
All of Feldman's "Why Do" books are a blast. You cannot help but read them out loud to who ever is listening. Alot of fun for older kids. He even asks for help solving some of the unsolved questions. And he accepts questions for future books. If you read one, you want to read all the others. Too bad Amazon didn't sell them in sets as I have seen in other catalogs.

Child Development (4th Edition) 2 reviews
Robert S. Feldman
Prentice Hall, 2006
Child Development
As far as textbooks go this is a pretty good one. I really like the inside cover, which lays out a lot of the stages that children go through, as well as different theorists & their theories. It is a great place to turn to when you are stuck trying to figure out an answer. The book is very well laid out & fairly easy to understand. The only thing I don't like about this book is that is ...

Do Penguins Have Knees? An Imponderables Book11 reviews
David Feldman
Collins, 2004
Even someone who hasn't read a book in years will like this one.
Feldman keeps producing these books of imponderables;and they just keep
getting better all the time. His books just go on asking questions and producing answers about those unlimited number of things we've all wondered about,and even many that we have come to accept as "that's just the way it is". Feldman encourages his readers to send in their own imponderables to answer ;much in the same way ...

A MUST for any early childhood classroom!

Do Elephants Jump? (An Imponderables Book)5 reviews
David Feldman
Collins, 2005
Bravo to another great book by David Feldman!
I have only one complaint about David Feldman, one of
my favorite authors: he doesn't come out with a new book
more often!
His latest--DO ELEPHANTS JUMP?--is just out . . . it is
the tenth in the Imponderable Series, a collection of answers
to questions (raised in other titles) such as: WHY DO CLOCKS
RUN CLOCKWISE? HOW DOES ASPIRIN FIND A HEADACHE?
WHEN DO FISH SLEEP? DO PENGUINS HAVE ...

Morton Feldman Says: Selected Interviews and Lectures 1964-1987 (New Series)2 reviews
Hyphen Press, 2006
good essays,explicatories
The late Morton Feldman was an articulate speaker. Not that some days he was "off" where he came to repeat himself and get bogged down in one single work explications. His last Darmstadt lectures for example (with Ferneyhough and Rihm in attendance) is an example. He spoke about his historically long piece for Flute and Piano and percussion. He speaks in timbre, think of the flute he would say, ...

Find out for yourself and get past the talking points !
If the church - state debate interests you, you owe it to yourself to get informed. This book does an excellent job of blowing up all the talking points, from both sides of the political spectrum and helps the reader understand what happened and see both sides of this fascinating issue. Here's a list of interesting, historical observations which vary from the typical left and right talking ...

A Survival Guide for the Preschool Teacher8 reviews
Jean R. Feldman
Center for Applied Research in Education, 1991
Great resource
I found this book to be a wonderful guide for my first year of teaching pre-K. The book is well organized into very pertinent, practical chapters full of great, easy-to-do ideas and strategies for addressing the needs of young students. I shared this book with a vetran teacher who was equally impressed with the content. It is a great value and a quick, enjoyable, informative read.

What We Owe Iraq: War and the Ethics of Nation Building5 reviews
Noah Feldman
Princeton University Press, 2006
Arguably the best, most practical book on post-war Iraq
I think I'll begin by addressing the two negative reviews posted thus far...
At no point in this book does Feldman argue that the U.S. should have replaced Hussein with another dictator. That kind of statement runs completely against everything contained in this book. In my opinion, only someone that had never read the book could make a claim like that.
As for the other review (posted by ...

Why Do Clocks Run Clockwise?: An Imponderables Book (Imponderables Books)12 reviews

Collins, 2005
fun facts for curious adults and children alike!
The Imponderables series by David Feldman is a fun series of books filled with the answers to the questions that both adults and children often wonder about. This particular book is, I believe, the second in the series. It provides the answer to the proposed question in the title including such strange questions as: "If nothing sticks to Teflon, how do they get Teflon to stick to the pan?" ...

Silence: How to find Inner Peace in a busy world
I found Silence to be a wonderful part of my meditation and self-calming efforts in this all too tense and busy world. It is a beautiful book in its writing and its wonderful pictures. I was instantly calmed when I read the first section, and looked forward to reading more each night before sleep. I am buying copies to gift to my tense friends and family. I plan to reread my copy often. I ...

Compassion: Listening to the Cries of the World1 review
Christina Feldman
Rodmell Press, 2005
Outstanding Essay on Compassion!
Christina Feldman has written an outstanding essay on compassion. She courageously and clearly explores her topic with confidence. Compassion is a multi-faceted experience, complex and richly textured, and Feldman has been able to illuminate it beautifully. I would call her understanding of compassion comprehensive and creative, including her meditations on the various aspects of the topic. If ...

Ellen Feldman
W. W. Norton & Company, 2004
An era when the media did not probe into personal lives of Presidents
This book was well researched. By adding to the bones of historical facts, Ellen Feldman fleshed out the story to convert it into a novel. It helps to understand the whole background of these fascinating principals. Perhaps it was because I had just revisited FDR's Hyde Park Home and library this past spring,that this book had such deep resonance. In this era when the media knows everything and ...
