Charles Bates

Yes International Publishers, 2002

A simple and powerful framework to support transformation
By using a familiar story, Charles Bates makes powerful tools easy to grasp. Pigs Eat Wolves engaged me to the point of rethinking significant decisions in my life and the assumptions on which they are based. I can see a broader range of choices than prior to reading this book. It's easy to read and well worth the effort.

Karl Marx

International Publishers, 1975

Great book if you are a economic history buff
My love for economic history drew me to read this book. If you ever wonder why the global world is the way it is today and how today's politics are made, this book will educate you. We learn from the past, from success and from failures. If you have no interest in eco-history, look for another book.

Enhanced with an informative Afterword by Frederick Franck
Couched in a "New Age" approach to good health, The Wellness Tree: The Dynamic Six-Step Program For Creating Optimal Wellness by Justine O'Brien begins with the imagery of the "Tree of Life", and then moves on to devote whole chapters to the role of mental attitude, breath, nutrition, physical movement, rest, and solitude in achieving and maintaining optimal health. O'Brien then moves on to the ...

Selections from the Prison Notebooks

4 reviews
Antonio Gramsci

International Publishers, 1971

One of the century's most important political works
Gramsci's Prison Notebooks marks one of the nodal points of Western Marxism's break with Leninism and the breed of marxism born of the Bolshevik Revolution. Exploratory and incomplete, the insights contained in this volume marked a turning point in marxist thinking, indeed leading many right through the marxist fold and out the other side. Gramsci's insights into philosphy, cultural criticism, ...

Otto Lilienthal

Markowski International Publishers, 2000

Standing on the Shoulders of Giants
Being an engineer, I recommend this book to anyone interested in the history of technology. If you study Otto Lilienthal's work and the correspondance of the Wright brothers carefully, you will agree with me that there would have been no flight in December 1903 in Kitty Hawk without this very book ! It did much more than just influence Wilbur Wright - it provided the very concepts that allowed ...

V. I. Lenin

International Publishers, 1969

Lenin's operational perspective
"What Is to Be Done? Burning Questions of Our Movement" is one of V. I. Lenin's most important works. It lays out his strategy of revolutionary change. The Publisher's Note starts the book off, putting it in context (Page v): "In Lenin's concept a leading, a vanguard party could be only a party of revolutionary Marxism and this required at the outset a clear definition and rejection of ...

Autobiography of W.E.B. Dubois: A Soliloquy on Viewing My Life from the Last Decade of Its First Century

2 reviews
W. E. B. Du Bois

International Publishers, 1968

"One of the greatest thinkers ever"
This book should be read by everyone who is interested in civil rights. Dubois was the pioneer of the civil rights movement and anything he had to say deserves to be read. This book is just as important as the Autobiographies of both Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr. After reading this book I realized what bravery was all about. Dubois didn't have the luxury of a "movement" behind him, ...

A Puerto Rican in New York, and Other Sketches (New World Paperbacks)

2 reviews

International Publishers, 1982

Short stories, highly folkloric.
Jesus Colon arives in NY 1917, writes about personal and other anecdotes of himself and family. Some have thought it is an autobiography, since I am his niece I can say it is not. But there is a lot of merit in the folkloric of his characters and I asure you some stories are true. It is up to the reader to enjoy. Soon the memoirs of his brother/ my father, will reveal and confirm his stories.

American Negro Slave Revolts

Herbert Aptheker

International Publishers, 1983

200 years of slave insurrections
The author provides a "narrative of the numerous plots and rebellions that persistently rocked American slave society for over two centuries" (p.367). In so doing he hopes to dispel the generally accepted notion that the response of the American Negro to his bondage "was one of passivity and docility" (p.374). Behind this notion of docility lies the belief that African-American slaves were well ...
