The Intersection of Law and Desire: A Mystery

7 reviews
J. M. Redmann

W W Norton & Co Inc, 1995

Sans Pereil
The Intersection of Law and Desire This is a hefty book. I liked the weight of it before I even read the first page. When I finished it, I found that it had another kind of weight. I like books that have a lot going on in them, and this one is very busy. There's the plot: it's involved and twisty and dark, just like a good private detective novel should be. There's the setting: New ...

Bulletproof Buddhists (Intersections - Asian and Pacific AmericanTranscultural Studies)

5 reviews
Frank Chin

University of Hawaii Press, 1997

Frank Chin combs the landscape of Chinese American culture
There is no question that when it comes to specific, focused cultural criticism, Frank Chin has the task nailed down. I don't know the time frame spanned by these essays, but in terms of content they cover all the bases. Any student of Asian-American history and culture can profit from Chin's sometimes tongue-in-cheek, sometimes frightfully serious analysis of several aspects of the ...

The Messiah Formerly Known as Jesus: Dispatches from the Intersection of Christianity and Pop Culture

9 reviews
Tom Breen

Baylor University Press, 2008

Laugh out loud funny
Breen's book is simply great. Sooo funny. He talks about everything from fundamentalists to popes with great rap moves. He mentions Thomas Jefferson's "'I trust ...that there is not a young man...who will not die a Unitarian'" (p 32) and adds, "Ha! Good call, Mr Inventor-of-the-Dumbwaiter. Boy, apparently you could design Monticello, but you couldn't count! Seriously, nothing ...

Music Through the Dark: A Tale of Survival in Cambodia (Intersections (Honolulu, Hawaii).)

4 reviews
Bree Lafreniere, Daran Kravanh

Univ of Hawaii Pr, 2000

Moving Survival Story
This is one of the most moving books I have ever read. I happen to know the author but didn't expect the book to be as special as it was. Since reading it I have met the subject of the book, Daran, and he is, in person, just as he was in the book--a very wonderful, warm and loving man. His story is inspirational and courageous. LaFraniere is a superb writer, capable of expressing what Daran ...

Inner Experience (Suny Series : Intersections : Philosophy and Critical Theory)

2 reviews
Georges Bataille, Leslie A. Boldt

State University of New York Press, 1988

Inner Experience
In this book Bataille shows how "project" -- the realm of work not just physical but also the incessant discourse running through one's interior mind -- is a prison, a prison based upon our inauthentic interaction with the world: one puts everything off until later, one lives in a "hazy illusion". But this viel can be broken, says Bataille, through the dynamic ground of non-knowledge, the ...

The Intersection of Joy and Money

Mackey Miriam McNeill

Prosperity Publishing (KY), 2002

Revolutionize your relationship with money!
Mackey's book helped me understand my emotional relationship with money & prosperity. The concept of finding JOY in financial planning rather than drudgery. My work is about creativity & fun. Mackey's work helped me see that prosperity belongs as part of my life as well. I recommend this book to anyone who feels overwhelmed by the conflict between their credit cards and bank balance. This ...

Insightful and moving
In Intersections, Gaynell Gavin writes about about race, class, motherhood & friendship. Her poems are thought provoking and poignant. I find myself picking up this little book again and again and discovering something new in it each time.

David J. And Joyce Glatzer

Dale Seymour Pubn, 1990

daughter
this book was very good, but in response to the review above i have read the communications book that the glatzer daughter wrote. It was poor. the best part was the photo of the author, otherwise the rest of the book was weak. i still suggest this book for math but stay away from reading the daughter's book. unless you can get it signed by that fox of an author.

Sparrows, Bedbugs, and Body Shadows: A Memoir (Intersections (Honolulu, Hawaii).)

2 reviews
Sheldon Lou

University of Hawaii Press, 2005

Moving and insightful
This book consists of thirteen passionate and riveting stories told in a humorous manner. These episodes took place where individualism was replaced by collectivism for the common good. They portrayed madness during a time when madness became normality. In this book, the innocent allowed "wise" people to do good for all and only "wise" ones ended up doing well. I highly recommend this book for ...

A Sociology of Women: Intersection of Patriarchy, Capitalism, and Colonization (2nd Edition)

2 reviews
Jane C. Ollenburger, Helen A. Moore

Prentice Hall, 1997

One of the most thorough studies of women written thus far.
Jane C. Ollenburger and her associates literally define the study of women's issues in this brilliantly-crafted book. Seldom has a writer blended the craft of academic research with concise story telling. One read through this book and your definition of "woman" and "feminism" is changed forever-a quite pleasant change, I might add. Well done, Ollenburger!

99 Points of Intersection: Examples-Pictures-Proofs

1 review
Hans Walser, Jean Pedersen

The Mathematical Association of America, 2006

I was astounded at some of the interestions in this book
The interesting theme of this book is that it is often the case that when some lines intersect, there are others that must also be part of the same intersection. Furthermore, there must be a reason why they intersect. Walser uses diagrams to display the intersections and there are three sections in the book. The first section is the introduction, where equations and their corresponding figures ...

Time and Death: Heidegger's Analysis of Finitude (Intersections Continental and Analytic Philosophy)

2 reviews
Carol J. White, Mark Ralkowski

Ashgate Publishing, 2005

A perfect complement to Dreyfus' Being in the World
This book complements Dreyfus' excellent 'Being in the World' perfectly. I can't think of a better pair of commentaries to use in a seminar on Heidegger. Whereas Dreyfus concentrates mostly on Division One of 'Being and Time', White aims to interpret all of Being and Time, and especially Division Two, in the light of Heidegger's later thought. This is exactly the sort of work many ...
