Ethical Educational Leadership in Turbulent Times: (Re) Solving Moral Dilemmas

1 review
Joan Poliner Shapiro, Steven Jay Gross

Lawrence Erlbaum, 2007

ethical framework
Since I'm taking a class that requires this book, it was not a free choice of book. However, so far it's proving to be an interesting framework for ethics in education.

America Recommitted: A Superpower Assesses Its Role in a Turbulent World
Donald E. Nuechterlein

University Press of Kentucky, 2000

When the first edition of America Recommitted was published in 1991, the world was passing through a period of sweeping political and social change. The Cold War was over; China had reverted to harsh authoritarian rule; U.S.-led forces were deployed in Saudi Arabia for potential military action against Iraq; the Soviet Union was on the verge of disintegration; and the unraveling of Yugoslavia had set the stage for brutal ethnic conflicts in ...

Turbulent Flows

Stephen B. Pope

Cambridge University Press, 2000

Modernized account of turbulence
This is an excellent addition to the turbulence textbooks. The physical meanings of equations are well explained and cast in a way that helps the understanding of the subject tremendously. In contrast to earlier textbook by Lumley and Tenneky, this book is much cleaner in explaining the conncetions between the physical phenomenon and the mathematical treatment. However, it lacks the experimental ...

Very helpful book
I found this book to be incredibly helpful in tackling some of the emotional and social issues (and problems) that often come up after graduation. It's definitely worth checking out! There is a lot of great advice, plus Salaazar backs it up with psychological studies and research. Good stuff!

Turbulent Mirror: An Illustrated Guide to Chaos Theory and the Science of Wholeness

8 reviews
John Briggs

Harper Perennial, 1990

A Book Ahead of its Time - still
A wonderful synthesis of science at the edge. A grasp of how scientific methodology is changing to accommodate the revelations of chaos theory. The used edition I read was from 1990 and is prescient even now (alas). The informed and illuminating evidence that revolutionizes the current Neo-Darwinistic paradigm of molecular evolutionary theory towards the end of the book was particularly ...

The Turbulent Decade: Confronting the Refugee Crises of the 1990s

2 reviews
Sadako Ogata

W. W. Norton & Company, 2005

Very Diplomatic and a Well Organized Book by the UNHCR Chief
My main impression of this book is that it is well organized and well written. Saying that, it would have been nice to see a longer book. The book is an insider's view of the refugee problems as described by the chief of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), all written by the former commisioner Ogata Sadako. She gained some prominance in Japanese politics and academic ...

Iron Eagle: The Turbulent Life of General Curtis Lemay

3 reviews
Thomas M. Coffey

Avon Books, 1988

Stephen R. Finney, USAF, Retired
Iron Eagle is an intensely interesting biography of one of the pivotal military thinkers of the 20th Century. It is doubtful that, without Curtis Lemay's incredible forsight and military genius, WWII would have ended as soon as it did. The air campaign against Germany was going poorly until Lemay deivised the effective method of bombing that became the standard throughout WWII, Korea, & ...

J. Anthony Lukas

Vintage, 1986

Hugely Important
A hugely important work, immense in its scope. This book is an excellent educational experience, on at least the levels of racial attitudes in the 60's and beyond, Boston and New England history, local and national politics, and social stratification. Common ground is detailed in its factual accounts, empathic with its central characters, and insightful yet unbiased. A must-read for anyone ...

Managing Turbulent Hearts: A Balinese Formula for Living

3 reviews
Unni Wikan

University Of Chicago Press, 1990

Behind the mask
I cannot recommend this book highly enough. Wikan dispells the idealized exoticism spun by previous ethnologists such as Mead and particularly Steve Lansing and Jane Belo. She shows us the real Bali, rarely if ever glimpsed by tourists, in which life is a constant struggle to protect oneself from evil magic, while maintaining one's personal appearance and attitudes to avoid being shamed or ...

Stephen J. Dubner, 1999

A Fascinating Spiritual Journey
Turbulent Souls gives a fine account of the many journeys that took place within the Dubner Family Tree. Stephen Dubner traces his family roots which amazingly were rooted in Judaism. Its quite interesting how both of Stephen's parents became Catholics. In the case of Stephen's father, Sol(later Paul)it seemed as if he was rebelling against his overbearing father. Paul's story shows you that ...
