Magical Urbanism: Latinos Reinvent the US Big City 8 reviews
Mike Davis
Verso, 2001
....and mystical gang bangers rejuvenate small town USA
Davis is sympathetic, but like a typical lefty, places his faith in the labor movement to unite the diverse groups of latinos migrating to US cities. Yeah right. Another pipe-dream that the left can smoke. Hey Mike, how do like Hawaii? Come check out the ****holes like Modesto, Fresno, Salinas and other enclaves in CA that Mexicans are 'reinventing' and then blow back to the islands for your next ...

Hell Under Fire: Modern Scholarship Reinvents Eternal Punishment5 reviews
Zondervan, 2004
Evangelical, Traditional and Biblically Faithful
Having already read the first book in what I hope is to be a continuing series, God Under Fire (Zondervan), and having read other works by most of the contributors to the present volume under review, I expected to gain from reading Hell Under Fire. I was not disappointed, and the essays contained in the book were all of a consistently high standard.
The first essay was by Albert Mohler, and ...

Great book for boomers
I bought this book last week and have already read it from start to finish. It's the best book on careers for us baby boomers that I've found. I'm a guy who's been in the same job for fifteen years. I hate job-hunting and anyway, and with the economy down, I've been trying to maximize my retirement income. "Finding a Job After 50" is different from the other books I've read because it makes you ...

Young Children Reinvent Arithmetic: Implications of Piaget's Theory (Early Childhood Education Series ... 3 reviews
Constance Kamii, Leslie Baker Housman
Teachers College Press, 1999
Kamii shows how children think
It's helpful to have at least a passing acquaintance with Jean Piaget's theories before reading this book, but it's not necessary. Kamii shows in so many many ways that the thought life of young children is different from our own. Not only should this be required reading for all Kindergarten through second grade teachers, but also for those politicians and political pundits whose back to ...

Reinvent Your Bathroom: Over 60 Projects and Quick Decorating Ideas 2 reviews
Christine E. Barnes
Sunset Publishing Corporation, 2003
Another GREAT Sunset book!
They've done it again! From the new kitchen book and kids' rooms book to this. There are some unbelievably do-able and creative projects in this book. Plus this is the first time I've seen a good description of how to put in glass block. I wish it was available when I did my first (and only) glass block project two years ago. The glass block manufacturers instructions were moronic compared to ...

Young Children Continue to Reinvent Arithmetic - 3rd - Grade: Implications of Piaget's Theory (Early ...1 review
Constance Kamii, Sally Jones Livingston
Teachers College Press, 1994
Constructivist Arithmetic
The theory in this book is well presented but rather dry. This book's strongest area is the games that are detailed in the last half of the book. These commercial and teacher made games give students the opportunity to practice arithmetic in a fun and authentic way.

Richard N. Ericson
Worldatwork, 2004
Every year companies spend close to a quarter trillion dollars on executive incentives. The simple fact is that the money could be spent more wisely. Current incentives link pay and performance only weakly and, much of the time, executives are rewarded as much for bad decisions as they are for good ones.

Stolen Identity: The Conspiracy to Reinvent Jesus3 reviews
Peter Jones
Victor, 2006
Well written and thought provoking.
I recently read Dan Brown's controversial novel "the DaVinci Code" The only reason I read the DaVinci code in the first place is because I recently received "Cracking DaVinci's Code" as a gift. I wanted to read the orginal book before I read the refutation. I wanted to know what exactly I was up against. "Cracking DaVinci's Code" was helpful, but I found myself wanting more information about ...

This book sheds light on the debate on women in ministry.
For anyone who cares to be orthodox in their thinking about the doctrine of the Trinity, this is a don't miss read. In this book Kevin Giles explains a number of important things: 1) that the distinctive mark of the Christian God is that God is Three in One; 2) that unless we understand that the Father, Son, and Spirit are equal in authority and power, we fail to carry forward the historic ...

Myths of Motherhood: How Culture Reinvents the Good Mother3 reviews
Shari Thurer
Penguin (Non-Classics), 1995
I Recommend this Book
I found this book to be a fascinating, couldn't-put-it-down retrospective of motherhood seen in a historical and cultural perspective. Not only was the subject matter interesting, but it was written in a fresh and accessible manner for the non-historian.
