Reader...Then a Teacher
This review is more for the entire "Lioness Quartet" quadrilogy, rather than this final installment in the series. I was introduced to this series as a young girl of 11 or 12. They remained my favorite books for over a decade. The Lioness Quartet combines both magical, imaginative story telling with a strong feminist message. Equality is a powerful underlying theme in this series. When ...

Psychological Development of Deaf Children

Oxford Univ Pr (Txt), 2008

Definite must-read for anyone involved with Deaf children!
I was surprised to find that no one had written a review about this book. I know it has been used as a recommended textbook at the University of Pittsburgh in Deaf Education and Educational Psychology, and it was recommended to me by at least four professors. This may constitute part of the problem in deaf and special education, and regular education in public schools for deaf and hearing ...

Memoirs of Montparnasse

John Glassco

Oxford Univ Pr (Txt), 1970

Memories
John Glassco writes about the Paris arts scene of the 1920s, telling the story of an artist as a young man. It's not always true, but it is always fun, as fiction and autobiography blend to create a good read. Has all the sex, boozing and pathos that was typical of 1920s Paris as its been memorialized in literature, whether that's a good thing or not is for you to decide.

Betrayers of the Truth (Oxford Paperback Reference)

2 reviews
William J. Broad

Oxford Univ Pr (Txt), 1985

A book every aspiring scientist should read.
Not a great book, but a very important one. I first read _Betrayers_ in graduate school, when I was still innocent and naive, believing that no scientist would ever compromise her reputation by any form of intellectual dishonesty. Further, I believed that anyone who did would inevitably be found out--that's how the scientific method works, right? Reading this book has made me much more ...

Fundamentalism and Gender
John Stratton Hawley

Oxford Univ Pr (Txt), 2008

Fundamentalism, as the word implies, is about getting back to basics, and for Americans this has meant getting back to God's word as proclaimed in the Bible. Yet the issues that American fundamentalists have most hotly contested--abortion and the Equal Rights Amendment--have little to do with scripture per se. Why are these so central? Perhaps it is because the real fundamentals of fundamentalism are social, not textual. Fundamentalism often ...

Ages of Gaia

J. E. Lovelock

Oxford Univ Pr (Txt), 1988

This Look Into The Past Can Insure Our Future
Imagine living in Europe during the Dark Ages, when everyone thought the world was flat, and having someone demonstrate to you that the world is a sphere. In our modern version of the Dark Ages of the environment we are under the delusion that our Earth is lump of rock inhabited by life. Lovelock shows that the Earth is a living, self-regulating system comprised of all of life tightly coupled ...

Quest for Kim: In Search of Kipling's Great Game

Peter Hopkirk

Oxford Univ Pr (Txt), 1997

The best companion book to Kipling's "Kim"
Among Kiplingiana available for the 21th Century Kipling fan,. Hopkirk's "Quest for Kim" holds a well conquered place. Written in 1996 after many excellent books on British exploration, adventure and espionage in Asia, this small gem that stands between travelogue, literary commentary and pure act of loving memory toward one's own childhood dreams and expectations has become a classic. Rudyard ...

The Many Worlds of Logic: A Philosophical Introduction to Symbolic Logic

2 reviews
Paul Herrick

Oxford Univ Pr (Txt), 1993

Not for the do it yourself
It is easy to get confused by the terminology. Part of the problem is that the subject is very dense and not the usual way of thinking. It uses the minimal amount of language to make the point and avoids the opposite problem of being verbose but therefore isn't too helpful if you don't understand the explanation the way it is written. It works best with someone to lead you through. In my ...

1 review

Oxford Univ Pr (Txt), 2008

Very Useful
I am currently writing my thesis on ontology, strong emergence, and divine action (ie. How God acts on the world). I found this book very useful in covering the growing interest in emergence hypothesis(s), the book begins with an overview of the history of emergence hypothesises and carries on from there. Although the chapters on physics was a little difficult to grasp, this book is a must read ...
