Trafficking And Prostitution Reconsidered: New Perspectives On Migration, Sex Work, And Human Rights ...

4 reviews

Paradigm Publishers, 2005

LEGALIZE ADULT PROSTITUTION
Prostitution between consenting adults (adults!) should have been decriminalized generations ago. The primary reason it's still on our criminal statute books is because Christian fundamentalists still have a grip on our legislative branch. And no politician would ever have the stones to get up on the stump and say what needs to be said: legalization of prostitution between consenting adults ...

Scholarship Reconsidered: Priorities of the Professoriate

5 reviews
Ernest L. Boyer

Jossey-Bass, 1997

A must read for all higher education faculty
Ernest Boyer has presented a very thoughtful conception of the changing demands placed upon those faculty who work in higher education. Recognizing the triad which governs the "tenurability" of faculty, Boyer addresses the need to rethink what higher education is about and how the "professoriate" needs to re-examine and re-prioritze what is important--teaching! He argues eloquently for ...

The Complexities of Care: Nursing Reconsidered (The Culture and Politics of Health Care Work)

2 reviews

ILR Press, 2006

A must read for the modern nurse
I purchased this book and "Nursing Against the Odds" by Gordan at the same time. While this book provided inspiring articulation of my own thoughts at this point in my career, the other one was just depressing. I coasted through this book of essays by different authors and felt empowered and encouraged. The chapter by Diana Mason was particularly interesting for me. I think this is a timely ...

Jon Tetsuro Sumida

The Johns Hopkins University Press, 1999

Mahan in Full
There is no more prominent name - American or otherwise - in naval theory and grand strategy than Alfred Thayer Mahan (1840-1914). The only more enduring name in strategic studies today is that of the Prussian master, Carl von Clausewitz. Unfortunately, like Clausewitz, Mahan's work is rarely read in the original; instead, his ideas are summarized and conveyed in secondary sources or, worse ...

Jewish Christianity Reconsidered: Rethinking Ancient Groups And Texts

1 review

Fortress Press, 2007

Uneven but Helpful
It is encouraging to note that the study of early Jewish Christianity has experienced something of a revival in recent years, after decades of serious neglect. The neglect can most likely be traced to the influence of such scholars as Adolph Harnack and Rudolph Bultmann who saw Jewish Christianity as a primitive form of the faith that was quickly replaced by a Gentile Christianity influenced by ...

A House of Many Mansions: The History of Lebanon Reconsidered

16 reviews
Kamal Salibi

University of California Press, 1990

The multi-faceted history of Lebanon.
This book isn't so much a history of Lebanon as about how the Maronites, the Druze, the Sunnites, and the Shi'ites hold different views of the history of Lebanon. It is difficult to understand one's history if there is little concensus about what is fact and what is myth. It is this latter aspect, fact versus myth, that Salibi explores. He attempts to outline the history of Lebanon as viewed ...

Economic theory has misrepresented how markets behave

Quick service
Received the book very quickly and promptly. It is the second to last edition and not the most current which I actually ended up needing, but that was probably my fault.

3 reviews

Random House Large Print, 2003

One of my all-time favorite books...
ALL I REALLY NEED TO KNOW I LEARNED IN KINDERGARTEN by Robert Fulghum is a collection of essays that reflect the author's thoughts on life, death and a whole lot of other subjects in-between. So when I saw the 15th Anniversary Edition I naturally had to get hold of and then devour it . . . and am glad I did . . . it's GREAT! It is also quite different . . . or as the subtitle indicates, it is ...

This notion of convergence tells us ...

Russell Kirk

Intercollegiate Studies Institute, 1997

Great Introduction to Burke
Kirk's introduction to the life and politics of Burke is essential to understanding Edmund Burke in his time and ours. More of a Political biography than a general biography, it is still a book whose prose is very readable and understandable. A biography of a great man by a great man.
