Summary: Ce livre est une authentique révélation. Il est de ces ouvrages qui surprennent et font jubiler à chaque paragraphe tant l'analyse est profonde. Le Professeur Laborit éclaire le comportement humain avec une grille d'analyse jusqu'ici délaissée par les sciences sociales : la grille biologique. Partant, l'amour ou la liberté sont désacralisés par la puissance des déterminismes biologiques et socio-culturels. En l'absence d'une telle connaissance, le langage n'est qu'un alibi, une moyen contre-nature d'empêcher nos pulsions inconscientes et les déterminants socio-culturels enregistrés depuis l'enfance grâce au système limbique (le cerveau de la mémoire) d'être associés de facon originale par le cortex associatif (le cerveau particulièrement développé chez l'homme qui le rend doué de créativité). L'inventeur des neuroleptiques démontre de facon implacable que cette méconnaissance débouche sur l'angoisse qui manifeste l'impossibilité de combattre ou de fuir les hiérarchies sociales de domination. Dés lors, une seule issue s'impose à l'être humain : Mobiliser la connaissance de ses déterminismes biologoques et socioculturels pour fuir dans l'imaginaire créateur, à l'abri des jugements de valeur, des préjugés véhiculés par la société. Cette fuite salutaire doit permettre à l'homme de faire triompher de nouvelles structures harmonieuses aux dépens des hiérarchies destructrices. Puisse Henri Laborit être un jour entendu !

Non-persone. L'esclusione dei migranti in una società globale Alessandro Dal Lago
ISBN: 9788807817861
Edition: First enlarged edition 2004
Summary: Mentre le cronache registrano quotidianamente la morte in mare di decine di 'clandestini', gran parte dei mezzi di comunicazione di massa alimenta senza sosta il panico sull''invasione' del nostro paese da parte di immigrati poveri provenienti dal Terzo mondo. Non si tratta in realtà di una lettura specifica dei soli media, ma di un più complessivo atteggiamento di chiusura della società italiana verso gli stranieri, trasformati in nemici sociali attraverso la doppia spirale di panico ed esclusione. Buona ultima, anche la sfera della politica non sembra essere consapevole del problema del riconoscimento dei diritti di cittadinanza ai nuovi migranti. A questi sviluppi inquietanti non è certo estranea la riscoperta della 'nazione-Italia' e anche della 'patria italiana', cioè di un sentimento comune su cui si fonderebbe l'appartenenza nazionale. Non solo questa rivendicazione appare particolarmente debole, ma essa coincide con un processo di inferiorizzazione delle altre società - i paesi più poveri, le regioni arretrate dell'Italia stessa, le aree meno ricche delle regioni dominanti -, un atteggiamento mentale presente indifferentemente a destra come a sinistra. Nel descrivere gli umori più profondi della società italiana l'autore - tra i più importanti sociologi italiani - si schiera in modo deciso, in un libro polemico, documentato e destinato a far discutere, perché in gioco sono i lineamenti fondamentali della convivenza civile e i contenuti più profondi su cui si regge la nostra democrazia.

Summary: I am not in the medical profession, however, do struggle with my own and other family members' mental health problems. Until now, I had never read a description or analysis of the process of schizophrenia which seemed to be true of what I have personally witnessed. Laing has utmost regard for patients and a real interest in trying to understand them. Unlike most of the psychiatric world which is now hung up on diagnosis and categorisations above all else and at the cost of the individual's needs. I feel better equipped and more able to understand what mental processes the concept of schizophrenia is founded upon, and as such, less resistant to psychiatry in general.

Summary: Vivre et mourir en paix : rien de plus facile en apparence. Et pourtant... L'enseignement du dalaï-lama paraît aisé, mais son application exige discipline et persévérance. Elle demeure néanmoins à la portée de chacun, sans la moindre obligation de conversion religieuse ou de longues études philosophiques. Apprendre à être à l'écoute, se soucier d'autrui autant que de soi-même sont les premiers pas vers un bonheur assuré. Ce livre franc et courageux est le fruit d'un demi-siècle d'études, de prières et de méditations sur les grandes questions de la vie et de la mort.

Summary: Professor David S. Landes takes an historic approach to the analysis of the distribution of wealth in this landmark study of world economics. Landes argues that the key to today's disparity between the rich and poor nations of the world stems directly from the Industrial Revolution, in which some countries made the leap to industrialisation and became fabulously rich, while other countries failed to adapt and remained poor. Why some countries were able to industrialise and others weren't has been the subject of much heated debate over the decades; climate, natural resources and geography have all been put forward as explanations--and are all brushed aside by Landes in favour of his own controversial theory: that the ability to effect an industrial revolution is dependent on certain cultural traits, without which industrialisation is impossible to sustain. Landes contrasts the characteristics of successfully industrialised nations-- work, thrift, honesty, patience and tenacity--with those of non-industrial countries, arguing that until these values are internalised by all nations, the gulf between the rich and the poor will continue to grow.

Summary: Wilbur, gerade einmal 1,50 Meter groß, ist wirklich kein Glückskind: Seine Mutter stirbt bei der Geburt, sein Vater macht sich aus dem Staub, und sein erstes Zuhause ist der Brutkasten. Als seine Großeltern ihn zu sich holen, erfährt er endlich, was Heimat ist. Doch das Glück währt nicht lang: Sein bester Freund kommt in die Erziehungsanstalt, und seine Großmutter Orla stirbt bei einem Unfall. Wilbur gerät aus der Bahn. Gern wäre er so stark wie Bruce Willis, doch er hält sich für einen ewigen Verlierer. Erst die charmante Aimee bringt ihm etwas anderes bei: Wilbur muss endlich lernen, zu leben.

The New Terrorism Walter Laqueur
Dewey: 327
Date Added: 8 Mar 2009

Summary: The use of violence to achieve political goals stretches all the way back to biblical times, and Walter Laqueur outlines its long practice in "The New Terrorism: Fanaticism and the Arms of Mass Destruction". Yet his main concern is with the 21st-century threat of "megaterrorism": "What we know about past ages of barbarism is frightening enough," he writes. "The consequences of aggressive madness in the age of high technology and the era of weapons of mass-destruction may well be beyond our imagination." Along the way, he offers a fascinating sociology of terrorism; its practitioners, for instance, tend to come from the educated middle classes (although this is far from a hard-and-fast rule). Also, terrorists rarely believe their actions will allow them to seize political power. Instead, they aim to provoke specific responses from their targets, such as lighting an international conflict. Although it is hardly a how-to book, "The New Terrorism" describes what it takes for terrorism to succeed--Laqueur's list of essentials includes careful planning, an ability to improvise, small units of operation, the anonymity of large urban areas, and ready sources of money. The book is full of rich observations, and there probably isn't a more knowledgeable source on the subject than Laqueur, who has written several books on European and Middle Eastern history and military analysis. His mild pessimism is troubling, but perhaps warranted. Terrorism is about to become even more terrible. --"John J Miller"

Comments: Littérature et anthropologie dans les Contes des mers du sud de Robert Louis Stevenson
Amazon Link
Summary: Contes des Mers du Sud de Robert Louis Stevenson est un recueil de récits de genres divers, tous écrits et situés dans le Pacifique à la fin du XIXe siècle. Riche d'un véritable savoir anthropologique, l'auteur y pose des questions fondamentales sur les îles du Pacifique. Ici, il interroge le passé, tranchant dans le vif d'une vigoureuse tradition littéraire des Mers du Sud. Mythologue, il entraîne le lecteur à la fois à la source des fantasmes collectifs de l'Occidental, et au coeur des mythes polynésiens. Pour la première fois dans la littérature se tissent, en un palimpseste métis, les récits fondateurs des civilisations occidentale et océanienne. Là, il examine le présent : ses îles sont le terrain de conflits pour une hégémonie occidentale, et le héros polynésien, loin du cliché du Bon Sauvage, y est acculturé, il s'est défaussé de son identité indigène. Mais Stevenson relève avant l'heure la gageure de Genette, et donne la parole à ce " Vendredi " de la fin du XIXe siècle: écrivain posteolonial avant la lettre, il annonce la décadence de l'impérialisme, dénonce toute exclusion de l'Autre. Là enfin, il se tourne vers l'avenir : que sera l'Océanie de demain ? Stevenson clame qu'elle ne pourra se bâtir sans la femme océanienne, mais rie conclut pas, car ses prédictions ne volent pas la parole à l'Autre. Au contraire, précurseur du postmodernisme, l'écrivain s'interroge sur la voix du narrateur, le statut de l'auteur, il questionne la relation entre réel et fiction. Le Pacifique devient un espace de rencontre où l'Autre est entrevu dans sa diversité, et où de nouvelles littératures, anthropologique, posteoloniale, protomoderne, sont esquissées.

Summary: Bei Ankündigung sogenannter "Buchereignisse des Jahres" ist Skepsis immer angebracht. Trotzdem war ich neugierig auf den Erstling des Schweden Stieg Larsson, der posthum erscheint, da der Autor bereits 2004 verstarb. Und tatsächlich handelt es sich bei "Verblendung" um einen hochspannenden, perfekt aufgebauten Thriller der Extraklasse. Dieser Kriminalroman ist eine unwiderstehliche Mischung aus "Cupido" von Jilliane Hoffman und den besseren Wallander-Romanen von Henning Mankell. Im Mittelpunkt steht der Journalist Mikael Blomqvist, dessen ansonsten tadelloser Ruf nach Enthüllungen über die Geschäftspraktiken eines Großindustriellen angeschlagen ist. Da kommt ihm das Angebot eines alten Patriarchen, der mit Mühe die Reste seines Konzerns zusammenhält, gerade recht. Für den alten Mann soll Blomqvist ein Rätsel der Familiengeschichte der Vangers lösen. Mehr als dreißig Jahre zuvor verschwand bei einem Familienfest die damals dreizehnjährige Nichte. Noch immer erhält Hendrik Vanger zu seinem Geburtstag von ihr ein Geschenk, dabei sprechen alle Indizien dafür, dass sie an jenem Tag einem Verbrechen zum Opfer fiel. Mikael Blomqvists Ermittlungen bekommen eine ganz neue Richtung, als er die Hilfe einer jungen Privatdetektivin annimmt und mit ihr in einer Familiengeschichte herumwühlt, die mehr als nur die eine sprichwörtliche Leiche im Keller zu bieten hat... Über 750 Seiten führt einen der Autor immer wieder auf falsche Fährten, in Untiefen und Abgründe. Dieses Buch ist zugleich ein psychologisches Meisterstückchen als auch ein sorgfältig recherchierter Wirtschaftskrimi. Sehr lange hat mich kein Kriminalroman mehr so begeistert, gleichzeitig so in Atem gehalten wie eben dieses Buch von Stieg Larsson, in dessen Nachlass noch zwei weitere Kriminalromane auf die Veröffentlichung warten. Unverbraucht frisch, ungeheuer spannend und doch mit allen klassischen Attributen eines guten Kriminalromans versehen ist "Verblendung" absolut empfehlenswert.

Summary: I have recently purchased this title and I am extremely happy with it. I am from the UK and I was worried that the German accents would be hindered by this. I can happily say that the German accents were very good! This set is tailored towards individuals who want to learn at home or learn in the car but also want to have some reference material to look at. The CD's provide 40 lessons to work with the text book and also another 40 lessons that you can just work with without any reference to any other material. This suits my learning choice perfectly. I have tried the Michel Thomas introductory course and I found that exceptionally good but when I tried it out on a friend I was told that my sentences were not really a "good" choice because a true German speaker would not choose those particular phrases. I did learn alot from Michel Thomas so I do recommend him whole heartedly and this course complements his exceptionally well. However, this one is for serious students as well as those who just want to brush up. Its apparently equivalent to TWO YEARS College study. I also found that I needed some sort of reference book to check spellings and to "see" what I was saying. This course provides that, with clear and concise reference to the lessons (the spoken parts on the CD's are written out in both languages, with phonetic help). It also has a dictionary at the end, and it has ESSENTIAL information about Germany and German speaking people. It explains things such as the existence of regional dialects and Pigeons of the language (although the course is for the Standard dialect only) and also explains customs, and titbits of information that is essential to understand when speaking the language. You don't just learn the language with this course, you learn the culture, the people and the reason why you want to speak German in the first place. I recommend this to anyone who wants a one stop solution to learning the German Language.

Progress and Its Problems. Towards a Theory of Scientific Growth Larry Laudan
Dewey: 509
Date Added: 11 Jan 2009
Amazon Link
Summary: Laudan's project in this book is to construct a normative model of scientific progress which is responsible to the historical facts, but does not lead to relativism. He argues against many contrary views by pointing to historical counterexamples. He constructs a model in which science is a highly rational enterprise, yet its rationality does not depend on the truthfulness of it's claims, but on its progressive ability to solve the problems it is confronted with. Thus his picture of science is a pragmatic one. As well as his positive model, the book has many excellent criticisms of reletivism and the 'strong program' in the sociology of knowledge. Laudan's biggest influences seem to me to be thinkers like Kuhn, Lakatos, and Feyerabend, but he is probably more traditionally 'rationalistic', and more historically knowledgable than any of them. His writing is very systematic, straight forward, and easy to read. He does not try to impress you by overwhelming you.

Summary: ... because it reminds me a great deal of Bruce Lee's "Tao of Jeet Kune Do." In that book, the reader is warned in the preface to approach the book actively with pencil in hand to jot notes and draw lines between connected ideas. I have done this with Brenda's book. It will take about 6-7 reads and lots of mental connections before everything starts to gel. It is a new "Way" of thinking, and, indeed, is so far ahead of any way we design software now that many ideas that this book suggests still need extensive research to even understand how to implement. (e.g. Freytag graphs as a way of structuring software/task flow to provide a pleasing HCI, and Brenda's Principles of Intelligent Computer Agency as a means for implementing truly AI agents with personality and emotions). Along with the wonderful head rush of compelling new theory, she also takes the second half of the book to explain principles of software design that you can implement in your programs _now_, and also takes the time to introduce you to fascinating HCI research offshoots like Programming by Demonstration. It is wonderful writing, and her ideas and concepts continually refresh and remind me why I am in such an exciting field.

Summary: Don't get me wrong, this book has a lot to offer: 500+ pages of it! But it was written in 1990 and it shows. Almost everyone who has written a paper for this collection has some link to Macintosh (except for Timothy Leary of course). All examples are Macintosh based. And we're not talking G3's here. We're talking Mac II's. No mention is made of the Web (how could it be?). It does, however, make a lot of good points that are applicable for all User Interface designs. So, in general, this is a good book for it's time, but it's time has well and truly passed.

Summary: Leakey has always been interested in far more than the mere physical features presented by fossils, and here he is particularly concerned with non-tangible human attributes, such as art, language and consciousness itself. Leakey's personal involvement in many of the key discoveries of hominid fossils, and his friendships and rivalries with his fellow fossil hunters, add more than a dash of spice to his narrative.

Summary: Although Laurie Lee preferred to write poetry, he is best known for his prose: the trilogy of memoirs he wrote late in his life. "Cider with Rosie" is the first, detailing his childhood from the time he moves into his Gloucestershire home to just before he leaves to seek his fortune. His prose is extremely lyrical, especially when describing nature, his beloved mother and his three older half-sisters. Apart from the quality of the writing, "Cider with Rosie" should be read for the poetic descriptions of an England with few motorcars "where the horse was still king", agricultural communities that were able to function independently and hardly any interference from "the outside world".

Summary: This book looks at thirteen different legal systems, ranging from Imperial China to modern Amish: how they worked, what problems they faced, how they dealt with them. Some chapters deal with a single legal system, others with topics relevant to several, such as problems with law based on divine revelation or how systems work in which law enforcement is private and decentralized. The book's underlying assumption is that all human societies face the same problems, deal with them in an interesting variety of different ways, are all the work of grown-ups, hence should all be taken seriously. It ends with a chapter on features of past legal systems that a modern system might want to borrow.

Summary: V. I. Lenin wrote this book in 1917, while he was hiding from the Russian government. Lenin pointed out that "The question of the relation of the state to the social revolution, and of the social revolution to the state, like the question of revolution generally, was given very little attention by the leading theoreticians and publicists of the Second International (1889-1914)". He wanted to correct that oversight, and that is probably the main reason why he wrote this book. "The State and revolution" is a very short book, well structured and not difficult to read at all. Initially this pamphlet was going to have seven chapters, but Lenin didn't conclude the seventh, due to the outbreak of the Russian revolution. In the postscript to the first edition he explains that, saying that due to the reasons already explained the conclusion of the seventh chapters would have to be put off for quite a long time, but that all the same "It is more pleasant and useful to go through the `experience of revolution' than to write about it". The main idea in "The State and revolution" is that the State is a product of the irreconcilability of class antagonisms, and an instrument for the exploitation of the oppressed class (a "special coercive force" that rules through violence). The State of the bourgeoisie will disappear, but only through a revolution that will take the people to the dictatorship of the proletariat. The proletariat (the working class) will become then the ruling class, "capable of crushing the inevitable and desperate resistance of the bourgeoisie, and of organizing all the working and exploited people for the new economic system. The proletariat needs state power, a centralized organization of force, an organization of violence, both to crush the resistance of the exploiters and to lead the enormous mass of the population -the peasants, the petty bourgeoisie, and semi-proletarians- in the work of organizing a socialist economy." The dictatorship of the proletariat will be only a first stage in the path to Communism ("Then the door will be thrown wide open for the transition from the first phase of communist society to its higher phase, and with it to the complete withering away of the state"). According to Lenin, the necessity of systematically imbuing the masses with the idea of the necessity of violent revolution lies at the root of the entire theory of Marx and Engels. All throughout this book, Lenin cites and examines Marx and Engels' writings, in order to explain and support his own point of view. The importance of Marxism for nowadays world has diminished enormously, but I advice you to read this book nonetheless. It is certainly not a grueling task, and it will allow you to understand better some notions that many Marxist leaders believed with all their hearts. Ideas drive men, and men make history. "The State and revolution" will help you to get acquainted with some of those ideas, and that is not a small feat. Belen Alcat

Blood from a Stone Donna Leon
Date Added: 13 Oct 2009

Summary: The latest of Donna Leon's novels about principled Venetian cop Brunetti, "Blood from a Stone" is one of her timeliest. Two mysterious white men carry out a professional hit on one of the Somali traders who illegally hawk counterfeit luggage in a local square, and for some reason, Brunetti's superiors are remarkably keen that the case be left unsolved. Is this mere casual institutional racism, or something even more sinister? Brunetti, like many other fictional policemen, has no particular gift for obedience to unreasonable orders, and has also a left-wing academic wife to prod his already active conscience. Donna Leon is not usually as political as she is here; this is one of her more biting thrillers in its indictment of international trade and the security state. Brunetti has rarely been this melancholy--this is a thriller set in the dead of a Venice winter, and the cold, wet winds eat into our bones as we read. ---"Roz Kaveney"

Summary: This is my 4th Brunetti book and it didn't disappoint. Donna Leon's books are very enjoyable with strong characters like Brunetti.Set in and around Venice Leon takes the reader into the the heart Of Venetian life and crime.Brunetti comes across as a very likeable detective with an ordinary and loving family.This novel is very powerful and possibly controversial,involving Religion,murder and suggestion of child abuse.Powerful connections in the church,politics put pressure on all involved.The bloody climax in the hospital ward and the way the child abuser is dealt with makes it an enthralling read. If you haven't read Leon,give her a try.

Summary: "Doctored Evidence" is every bit as impressive as any previous outing for the urbane Commissario Brunetti we've encountered--and reading a Donna Leon novel is almost as good as a trip to Italy, so evocative is the ex-pat of her adoptive country. Not that Signor Berlusconi would necessarily approve of the multiple levels of Italian corruption and double-dealing that Leon has strip-mined for her unflappable copper to take on--and her view of the other dark sides of Italy strays quite some way from the tourist's point of view. Here, Brunetti seems to have come up against an open-and-shut case; a well-heeled Venetian is found bloodily murdered in her flat, with her missing maid, a Romanian immigrant, the prime suspect. The maid is tracked down, but meets a violent end on a railway track attempting to escape. Needless to say, Brunetti doesn't takes things at face value and when it transpires that the money found on the maid has not been stolen, this (along with other factors) has Brunetti doing a little unofficial sleuthing, and uncovering a very tangled web of motives indeed--with revelations quite different from the attempts to cover up municipal shenanigans that have often been the worm in the bud of previous Brunetti cases. By now, we're all very comfortable with the Commissario and his dogged head-butting at complacent institutions. But Leon is not one to rest on her laurels--there are new elements here (notably in the brilliantly orchestrated final chapters) that take us into new territory. But all the things we love about this series are firmly in place: vivid, acutely detailed locales, the usual exemplary characterisation (not just of Brunetti--the whole "dramatis personae" here is spot-on); and of course that impeccable plotting. --"Barry Forshaw"

A Sea of Troubles Donna Leon
Dewey: 813
Date Added: 13 Oct 2009
Amazon Link
Summary: Donna Leon has very quickly become one of my favourite female authors. Indeed, I think there's only one other I prefer, and that's Ruth Rendell. Leon's books are, simply, an exquisite pleasure. There is something about them that is so relaxed and joyful, but they are also very moral, rather shaded pieces of work. Every one that I have read so far has been a wonderful experience. Along with Henning Mankell, she is my best discovery in crime fiction for years and years, and A Sea of Troubles is very possibly her best book - it is certainly the bravest and most affecting. Pellestrina is a thin strip of island south-west of the city of Venice (I'll take a moment here to congratulate the publishers for including a wonderful map of the area). Its population consists mostly of fishermen and their families. It is, in the nature of such communities, a very insular place. One day, a fishing boat catches fire in the harbour. It explodes, and sinks. The owner and his son are missing, only found when a diver investigates the wreck and discovers their bodies aboard. Enter Commissario Guido Brunetti, the most wonderful detective in all crime fiction. He has a hard time getting any information whatsoever from the people of Pellestrina, just attaining a vague impression that the owner of the boat wasn't particularly liked. When Signorina Elletra volunteers that she has family on the island, and that she will take a vacation there in an attempt to find out more about the locals and what they think and know, Brunetti is very wary of the idea. But she will not be dissuaded. Brunetti finds himself not only having to confront issues of her safety, but of his somewhat ambiguous feelings for her. The only word for the book is wonderful. Venice is described beautifully, as is the isolated community of Pellestrina. Brunetti is his usual marvellous self. His family are a joy as well, his children drifting in the background like life-affirming spirits. There are some issues with his wonderful wife, whose instincts tell her that Brunetti perhaps feels a little too much for the secretary Elletra. The plotting is excellent, the setting likewise. At last we see how gloriously human Elletra is. In other books she is an intriguing enigma, but here she gains humanity. A personality. It was wonderful to discover more about her, how her mind works, to see her in a different, more revealing light. It was a brave move on Leon's part, and it works spectacularly. At times in previous novels, Elletra has seemed a little machine-like, but now she is more real, more a character, and will be all the better for it in new books. The conclusion, during a violent storm on the Venetian laguna, is tense and exciting, the solution is excellent, all the more gratifying for that Leon only elaborates minimally, leaving the reader to use their brains for once, This is rare enough in fiction. I've said before, and I will say again now, that the fact that Leon writes these crime novels purely for her own amusement really shines through. Primarily, Leon's first love is opera, and the cash she gets from being a bestseller all across the world only supplements that hobby and her own opera company. That she writes these almost as a secondary hobby, for her own entertainment, gives them a sense of being very relaxed, and it is very welcome and very refreshing. I love almost everything about these novels. Anyone who picks one up is not going to be disappointed.

Suffer the Little Children Donna Leon
Date Added: 13 Oct 2009

Summary: As John Peel said of The Fall, "always different, always the same"; it's a sentiment that could equally apply to the Venetian novels of Donna Leon. Always different in the plots, the players, themes, always the same in terms of wonderful style, rigid social engagement and interrogation, and Guido Brunetti and his family. These elements don't really vary from book-to-book: Leon's style, her intense interest in the social issues effecting her fair city, and the comforting presence of Brunetti and his warm, reassuring family. That's why so many people are drawn back novel after novel, thanks to these reliable elements. And it's no different here. All these things are present, correct, and as attractive as ever. They make every Leon novel a guaranteed pleasure. However, it's the differences that add the spice and flavour of each novel, that stand them off in competition with one another, and that make "Suffer the Little Children" one of the strongest entries in the series, certainly the best since the career highlights that were Uniform Justice and Doctored Evidence. Three Carabinieri officers burst into the apartment of a local Venetian paediatrician and his wife. After trying to defend his family, the doctor is left in hospital, and one of the officers is the victim of "assault". Their 18 month old son is taken. Brunetti is summoned to the hospital in the aftermath to try and find out what's gone on, what motivated such a violent reaction from the military police? Why was their son taken? This initial event will set Brunetti into a practical and moral maze of policework involving illegal adoption, infertility clinics, desperate parents, fraudulent pharmacists and nefarious moralising doctors. And, as always in Leon's Venice, the long influential arms of those who wield the real power. If there any crime-writer alive guaranteed to provide a complex moral or social issue to mull over, it is Donna Leon. Past novels have taken a beating-stick to the military, conflict diamonds, lagoon pollution, and this 16th novel takes a long hard uncomfortable look at unwanted children and illegal adoption. Better that babies go to loving homes rather than stay with parents who don't want them and would (and do) sell them for paltry sums? Better to stick to the law rather than set a precedent? Better to remove these illegal children to orphanages? As always, no answers are provided (though Leon's politics and probable views aren't exactly difficult to work out), but much for food thought is given. As intelligent social and moral tracts, they're almost unrivalled. It's hard to describe what is so attractive and engaging about Leon's novels, and it's all the hard with this one for some reason. They're just immensely readable at the same time as being immensely... "important" sounds too pretentious, but that's essentially what I mean. They're readable but there's also a deep seriousness and darkness to them, like the dark murky waters of the Laguna. It's sometimes a shame that Leon isn't a little more ambitious with her series, considering what she can do when viewing it (as she does) as merely an easy hobby! Given that she seems to view her novel writing almost as just a pleasant distraction, it seems to allow her a freeness with the form, and, though not exactly "ambitious" she displays an incredibly admirable and liberating willingness to disregard conventions of the genre to very good effect, and she partly does that here. It's almost like a crime novel in reverse in some respects, in that the burst of violence comes at the end. Suffer the Little Children is, in a way, an examination of the build-up to a crime. It's also admirable in that there is no murder! How odd, for a crime novel! No murder, but still a deeply unsettling crime (the traffic of children). It's a good lesson, to other crime-writers. The power of these very real issues is quite enough to power an engaging novel and fill it with suspense etc., the puzzle doesn't necessarily have to come in the form of a dead body. Suffer the Little Children is the 16th in the series, and one of the best. It's a supremely refreshing read, and, despite the comforts of its humane protagonist, a nicely unconventional and challenging crime novel. I recommend it to all (though it is probably not the best to start with). The final 20 or so pages are completely brilliant. But then, Leon has always been wonderful at messy endings. Do read her.

Uniform Justice Donna Leon
Date Added: 26 May 2010

Summary: "Uniform Justice", the latest outing for Donna Leon's creation, Commissario Brunetti, is a prime example of Leon's "non pareil" scene-setting and brilliantly wrought plots, which often take their own sweet time to establish an inexorable grip. After the death in the first few pages that sets the narrative in progress, the reader (and Brunetti) has to crack a particularly knotty puzzle. Did the young cadet at a prestigious military school die at his own hand, or was it murder? And, if his death was self-inflicted, was it intentional or accidental? The boy's parents are separated, and Brunetti learns that his mother was the victim of a shooting some years ago. Further, the boy's sister has disappeared. At the military school, Brunetti encounters a polite wall of silence, but that's nothing new for him, and this resourceful Italian copper thrives on unsolvable crimes. This time, however, the complex mystery he encounters lends itself to no easy solution. The heady brew here yokes in high-level corruption involving Italian army procurement and the allegation of transgressive sexual practices. As ever, Leon juggles these elements with consummate skill, and it's a given that the Venetian setting is as impeccably conjured as ever. The treatment of Brunetti is fresh, too: the frustration and intransigence he struggles with are particularly counterpointed by his identification with the case--Brunetti has a son of the same age as the dead boy. But what's notably pleasing here is Donna Leon's refusal to tie everything up in a too-neat and orderly fashion. Its messy compromises are much more like real life than the contrivances of most crime novels. --"Barry Forshaw"

Wilful Behaviour Donna Leon

Summary: Amazingly, "Wilful Behaviour" is Donna Leon's 11th novel featuring Commissario Guido Brunetti, and there's not a trace of the repetition or autopilot plotting that seems to kick in on so many long-running series. Set in Venice once more (US expat Leon's home patch), Brunetti's life is made even more difficult than in such illustrious previous outings as "Friends in High Places". An extraordinary art collection owned by an elderly Austrian woman is kept, rather rashly, in her flat. When she is discovered dead, the case lands in Brunetti's lap, and Leon's sardonic copper soon discovers secrets involving collaboration and the exploitation of Italian Jews during the war. The brick wall he encounters seems impregnable--very few people are happy to talk about what they know. But this time his wife Paola becomes involved. One of her students tells Brunetti about a crime committed by her grandfather who died in a mental home after escaping prison, then the girl is savagely stabbed to death What is her connection with the murdered Austrian woman with and her art collection? Brunetti gets closer to a labyrinthine plot that cuts across every level of Venetian society. Brunetti remains one of the most persuasively characterised protagonists in crime fiction, and it's nice to see Paola Brunetti move centre stage in this one--she's a winning character. Donna Leon's authoritatively written novels combine machine-tooled plotting with her customarily vivid Italian locations. Living in Venice for over 20 years has given Leon a finger-tip knowledge of her locale, and she's unbeatable at conjuring up "La Serenissima". But these are detective novels that don't merely utilise Venice as an exotic backdrop for mysteries and bloodletting; we are given brilliantly observed vignettes of workaday Venice as well. "Wilful Behaviour" may be slower exerting its grip than earlier Brunettis, but Leon's inexorable skills soon have us gripped quite as comprehensively as ever. --"Barry Forshaw"

Making Democracy Work. Civic Traditions in Modern Italy Robert D. Putnam with Robert Leonardi, Raffaella Y. Nanetti
Dewey: 320
Date Added: 18 Mar 2009

Summary: Putnam's thesis on the importance of social capital in engendering the successful functioning of democracy is an intriguing idea that merits serious reflection in our context today. His study of the community-organizations in Italy, and their effects on the effective workings of democracy on a regional and national level, highlight the importance of civic organizations and their ability to inculcate in their members a sense of civic duty - which consequently leads to a vibrant democracy. This book is perhaps especially fitting in the American context today in light of declining interest in politics, diminishing belief in the efficacy of governing institutions in solving problems, and the general ethos of apathy and frustration felt around the nation in the realm of democracy (something that the most recent election's low voter turnout indicated). Although the study is interesting, the idea is perhaps a little less useful in the pragmatic sense; one could run into the question of a chicken-and-egg scenario where there is a debate between which came first: vibrant democracy or civic organizations. Regardless, the book is one of the best in its subject area and a recommended read for any student interested in such issues.

In a nutshell, the book takes a look at all sorts of things in society, from crack gangs to parenting, and then attempts to make sense of them by applying econonmic principles. According to the book, economics is really the study of incentives, and so using this kind of angle, the book comes up with answers to why things work the way they do. A book that's hard to put down, I'm sure many readers will enjoy it. Also recommend The Sixty-Second Motivator for a more simplistic explanation of what motivates people and gives them incentives to do what they do.

Summary: I was hooked from page 1. This diary of a British Field Security sergeant in recently liberated Naples rings true in every respect. It is especially good in the way it tells how the chaotic situation among the Allies allowed the Mafia to reassert its influence. Of course, it was the poor liberated Italians who suffered most. Any person who has been in the Forces will recognize the truth of Lewis' stories of the complex relationships between the transient troops and their reluctant hosts. I had not enjoyed a book so much for a long time and have recommended it to friends.

Summary: This is the book I most wish I had read on leaving school; part adventure story, part philosophical treatise with many arresting, endearing and striking anecdotes it sets out with such burning clarity how our society creates the conditions for us to feel depressed, stressed and alienated. It is however, I feel, a very positive book and one I will come back to time and again; it explains how we can also achieve far greater happiness and harmony with others around us. It is a hymn to the quality of life,an illustration of the addictiveness and ultimate irrelevance of consumerism and an affirmation of the beauty and strength of the human spirit. Definately not to be confined to the shelves intended for prospective parents I would happliy give this book as a graduation present.

The Future of Money. Creating New Wealth, Work and a Wiser World Bernard Lietaer
Dewey: 332
Date Added: 11 Jan 2009

Summary: Following the gloomy prognostications of the future of the global economy in John Grey's "False Dawn", it is refreshing to read Bernard Lietaer's upbeat account of "The Future of Money". Lietaer made his name implementing the convergence mechanism for the European single currency, and was named the world's top currency trader in 1989. This suggests that he knows what he's talking about when he argues that "we are largely ignorant about our money system", concerning the nature and management of money. Lietaer argues that once we understand the shifting temperament and function of money, particularly in relation to the current revolution in information technology, we can harness it for a brighter future. Lietaer begins by addressing what he sees as the four "megatrends" currently driving society--an "Age Wave", the growth of an increasingly aged population, the Information Revolution, Monetary Instability, and Climate Change. Lietaer argues that "all crises contain hidden opportunities", which leads him to his central thesis that "we are now engaged in a structural shift of the world system, and this shift offers an unprecedented opportunity to give birth to Sustainable Development". Much of the rest of the book deals with defining sustainable development, and offering practical scenarios for its implementation. Much of this seems vague and utopian, but along the way Lietaer offers a wonderfully lucid account of the philosophy of money, the liquidity of currency and the nature of personal savings. As a financial map of the 21st century, "The Future of Money" is a little hazy, but as a story of the current state of money, it's extremely entertaining. --"Jerry Brotton"

Summary: Lifton's work here is an excellent effort to understand the ideological manipulation of the Chinese Communists. Although the researches on those individual "victims" are thorough, however, these are only other facets of the polyhedron of the "brainwashing". Surprisingly unknown to the Western world, but there is the salient fact of very successful cases of "brainwashing" in China and Japan which had, and still has, a devastating effect in terms of the issues of post war compensation between China and Japan. One case that represents the "brainwashing" against the Manchus is of their Last Emperor, Pu-Yi. You can read and see some glimpses of his experience of the "thought reform" in books such as "From Emperor to Citizen", his Communist authorised autobiography, and in the film "The Last Emperor", so I leave it to your option. Another is a completely untold (to the Westerners) story of former Japanese Imperial Army soldiers. The followings are excerpts of the accounts of two Chinese officials, one of them worked for Mao Tse-tung as an interpreter for 18 years. They appear in a special feature issue of the Japanese left-wing magazine called "Sekai" (May, 1998), on the confession papers of soldiers mentioned above, that "found" in China by a Japanese photo-journalist, who also interviewed the two Chinese officials. In July 1950, by the direct order from Stalin, 969 Japanese soldiers were transferred from Siberia, where those soldiers had been kept for slave labour suffering from starvation and despair for 6 years after war ended, to Fushun (Fuxuan) War Criminal Camp, in China, where, by the way, Pu-Yi was also transferred to at the same period. At this point, the soldiers' mental health had already been deteriorating. Unlike the people whose experiences were cited in this Lifton book, the Japanese, as well as the Manchus, received no physical violence. Instead, they were treated rather too well for their status of "war felons". It was Premier Chou En-lai himself who had given such instruction in which the camp authority were ordered to treat the Japanese and the Manchus especially well. Because punishing the "criminals" was not their aim. Releasing them as ideological advocates was. In a few years, their "reform" was gradually, yet steadily progressing. The first stage of the "reform" is: Self-consciousness of the guilt. After the unsuccessful military campaign of the U.S.A. in the Korean War, the Japanese soldiers' hopes of being rescued by the U.S. Army was dashed, and as if they were clutching at straws, they became absorbed by reading Marx's works and Japanese proletarian literatures. Those intense reading and study of communism in groups made the "Imperialist" soldiers re-think their righteousness little by little. Then, came a significant breakthrough when a Japanese officer did "Tan-pai" (Chinese word for "to recognise and to criticise one's own guilt, and to confess them) in front of the whole Japanese inmates. A "confessions" of a soldier triggered everyone's "confessions" as if it was competition. The inmates soon realised that the more barbaric crimes they confessed, the more the camp leaders were pleased for their "honesty" and they even mentioned their early release. Thus the gruesomeness of their atrocities escalated on and on... They called this movement as "creative study". As the Chinese authority planned, all Japanese "war criminals", who "confessed" their terrible crimes such as "Three All campaign" (Kill all, Burn all, Rape all) and numerous massacres including "Nanking Massacre", were released and back to Japan where they formed "Association of the Soldiers Returned from China" and many of them still stick together to this day and are actively working as anti-Japanese Imperialism advocates. Like Father Luca Lifton mentioned in this book, the Japanese soldiers are still in a state of confusion. They cannot distinguish the reality from their own creations. And left-wingers who have used them in their anti-nationalist campaign just not allow them to realise that they were "brainwashed". Maybe it is the communists themselves who were "brainwashed" by their own thought that if they are against the communism they would fall down to some "intellectual hell", just like the members of the cult "Aum shinrikyo" who attacked Tokyo with sarin gas in 1995 believed.

Summary: La vita della ventitreenne Elaine Dawson sembra un susseguirsi di delusioni e fallimenti. Per questo Elaine non resta troppo sorpresa quando, in una fredda giornata di gennaio del 2003, i suoi progetti vanno nuovamente in fumo: è in partenza per partecipare al matrimonio di un'amica a Gibilterra, e tutti i voli da Heathrow vengono cancellati a causa della nebbia. Ma forse questa volta succederà qualcosa di inaspettato che darà una svolta alla sua vita: un affascinante sconosciuto le offre di andare a pernottare a casa sua, vicino all'aeroporto, invece di accamparsi nella squallida sala d'attesa fino al giorno dopo. Elaine accetta. Da quel momento nessuno la rivedrà più. Cinque anni dopo, l'amica e giornalista Rosanna Hamilton si occupa del suo caso nell'ambito di una serie di articoli su persone scomparse senza lasciare traccia. Al suo fianco l'avvocato Marc Reeve: l'uomo che all'epoca ospitò Elaine. Sebbene gli inquirenti non avessero mai pronunciato accuse nei suoi confronti, il sospetto era stato sufficiente a rovinargli carriera e vita privata. Improvvisamente spuntano degli indizi che Elaine sia ancora viva. A Rosanna e Marc non resta che seguire questa traccia, ignari dei pericoli che li attendono...

Deschooling Ian Lister, ed.
Date Added: 26 Mar 2009

Summary: Not to be confused with unschooling, deschooling is a political term which means abolishing the current education system and making changes which enable people - both young and old - to educate themselves and learn skills within the community, by the use of learning networks, skill-sharing, inter-generational activities and projects etc. Schools as they are would no longer exist; schools would be smaller, multi-choice, flexible and not controlled by the authorities. Children would not be separated from adults throughout the day but would learn from their day to day lives, observing adults at work, learning real skills etc. Many writers have contributed to this Reader, including Ivan Illich, author of the popular and highly influential "Deschooling Society"; John Holt, the ex headmaster who has written several books promoting the idea that small children are capable of learning without being taught/force fed information; Ian Lister, advocate of free schools and also the editor of this "Reader". This is an exceptional rare gem of a book, sadly now out of print. It would be invaluable to anyone researching alternatives to the current education system. Its appeal is definitely towards the more "radical" home educators and advocates of autonomous learning for children and the de-institutionalisation of all forms of education. Not to be mistaken for one of the many "how to" books about home education, this book emphasises the social importance and benefits, as well as the educational, of deschooling, for the whole of Society. Written when many people were taking an interest in "progressive" education and free schools, unfortunately the ideas contained in this book were never embraced by policy makers and decision takers in the relevant Government departments, and reading this makes one realise that, despite being tried and tested by many groups and small communities, the ideas in this book, while thought of as outdated, are actually a long way from being accepted as valid by mainstream Society. One reason for this being that the idea of deschooling is one which advocates anarchy (in its true form) and unfortunately anarchy, like deschooling, is a concept which is misunderstood by mainstream Society.

Summary: Among all the books referred to as "dictionaries" of symbols, this is the one that provides the artist with a truly visual inspiration. The black and white printing lends itself to the elegant and crisp presentation of the publication. Symbols are not obscure drawings, but concise graphic representations. For those interested in the deeper meaning of symbols (not simply their aesthetic appeal), explanations of symbol origin are provided alongside; similar or equivalent symbols are cross-referenced with each other. An excellent source for any designer seeking to add symbolism to his/her work without the frills.

Summary: John Locke is simply one of those academics who were the first of their time to discuss issues which we now consider to be common today and inevitably take for granted. Examples include the separation of powers which is the now ancient idea that the Judiciary, Executive and Legislature should be totally independent from each other e.g. seperate judge, jury and executioner. If it wasn't for people like Locke we would still be prosecuted by Mr X, tried by him and executed likewise by the same man. This idea has now reduced the injustice in the western world dramatically. Locke is also the man responsible for such ideas as freedom, human rights and equality as he was always a humanitarian. If you like to use your head and think about issues such as those above and if you believe in them you will like this book.

Summary: If King Solomon's Ring enabled him to speak to the animals, this book enabled us to understand them a little better, and although many discoveries have been made in the last decades in Ethology and in Animal Behavior, Konrad Lorenz work remains actual and that's why King Solomon's Ring, like any Konrad Lorenz book is an essential classic to any animal-lover, behaviorist, or psychologist. I truly recommend this book to anyone interested in the animal mind, even to those with no scientific interest in the subject, this book makes an excellent reading, and allows to reflect about the beauty and complexity of the animal world, that was, and in a certain way it still is, our world ( although we seem to have forgotten).

The Great Chain of Being Arthur O. Lovejoy
Dewey: 119
Date Added: 6 Jun 2009

Summary: One of the best biologists of our times, Ernst Mayr, said about this book: "I learned more from the Great Chain of Being than from any other book I have ever read". Lovejoy follows the idea of 'scala naturae' from the beginning to the XVIII Century, when it faded in the birth of evolutionism. His book is one of the best essays about the history of the ideas. The concept of a great chain of being is one of the most famous ideas of Occidental philosophy, science and poetry, and it has been one of the most widely familiar conception of the general scheme of things, of the constitutive pattern of the universe.

Gaia. A New Look at Life on Earth James Lovelock
ISBN: 9780192860309
Edition: First published 1979
Dewey: 508
Date Added: 9 Jan 2009
Amazon Link
Summary: James Lovelock has created a powerful and interesting argument in this book that will keep scientists busy for centuries. He notices that there is an ability for the Earth to maintain relatively constant conditions in temperature, atmosphere, salinity and pH of the oceans, and reductions in pollutants that defies the simple observations of what "should" happen. From this, he concludes that there is a complex of physical, chemical and biological interrelationships that work like a living organism, which he defines as the Gaia Hypothesis. For defining that concept and providing some of the measurements to establish its premises, he deserves a 7 star rating. Unfortunately, the argument is expressed in overlong and convoluted fashion. He deliberately limits himself to a nonscientific explanation in this book. The scientific version of the argument is in The Ages of Gaia. Although the book is not long, it certainly could have been condensed into a longish article for Scientific American or The Atlantic Monthly. My second quibble is that the editor was nowhere in sight in creating the organization of the book. The key point is often buried in the third sentence of the last paragraph in a chapter. The argument in between wanders into all kinds of places where it doesn't need to go. For organization and editing, I give this book a one star rating. So the average is a 4 star rating. The writing itself is pleasant enough. Don't let the lack of organization and editing put you off, for it is worth your while to read this book. It will remind you of the benefits of the sort of sytems thinking that Peter Senge talks about in The Fifth Discipline. The other thing you will learn is the weakness of scientific work that fails to develop enough field data and to connect enough with other disciplines. I was struck by the same observations recently while visiting environmental scientists at the Smithsonian Institution. The basics in many of these areas have yet to be measured and evaluated. This book will point countless generations forward in understanding how our plant maintains its environment that permits life to flourish. Clearly, it is a stallbusting effort to replace "stalled" thinking about the history and future of the Earth. I found the key questions (such as why doesn't the ocean become more saline?) to be irresistible. I think you will, too. Enjoy and think!

Summary: Alexander Lowen appears to have studied with the infamous Wilhelm Reich. This book is an innovative approach to the subjects of armoring, muscle tension, emotional suppression and surrendering to bodily impulses. He gives clear exercises for the stimulation of sadness and anger, and opens up the world of bioenergetics for those unfamiliar with it. Brilliant!

Comments: An instructional manual for businessand accountancy students

Summary: I found this text invaluable whilst studying the "quantitative management" module of a post-graduate business course. It provided a useful revision of various A-level mathematics statistics theories and was a good introductory text for students on the course who had no prior statistical knowledge. The clear, logical and easy-to-read layout included an abundance of fully-explained (and realistic) examples which helped consolidate one's learning of the theories. I particularly appreciated the "plain-speaking" approach in this book which is so often lacking in academic texts. It really did make learning easier! Possibly it could benefit from a "further reading" or "references" section at the end of each chapter to point out other relevant texts that may be of use to students seeking further application or detail on a topic. All-in-all I can highly recommend this text as a learning resource.

Covers all aspects of writing, from the origins of - to the politics of, and beyond. An excellent reference for serious typographers, and a mind-expanding read for anyone interested in visual communication. The book itself is also gem, nice format & size - it would have to be given the content. I would not hesitate to list it as a must have for All designers in visual communication/information architecture.

I have found it invaluable for my work on my dissertation in the Philosophy of Mind. The breadth of subject matter, from so many 'big names' makes this book an essential in the field. Clear and crisp formatting, easily navigable contents and coherent structure. A wholly recomended title.

Summary: In 160 pages of expert instruction, authors Patrick J. Lynch and Sarah Horton put the essence of the Yale University Centre for Advanced Instructional Media's wonderful online site design guide into traditional print. The book begins the presentation of its helpful and forward-looking advice with a discussion of the overall process of defining the objectives and users of your Web site, as well as the goals you will use to measure your progress. The authors then use time-tested, traditional print concepts to clearly illustrate how to make your site interface welcoming and efficient. High- quality illustrations show how to design for overall style and professional appeal. The sections on typography and editorial style set this manual apart from many Web style guides with attention to the fine details that separate the good sites from the great. Multimedia elements and cascading style sheets (CSS)are covered but within the overall context of building a fine site--not with the usual hype. Media compression and delivery are addressed at a high level with concrete suggestions on formats, frame rates and image sizes for a well-balanced approach to multimedia. One of the great things about using this guide is that the actual site it is based on is available. You can read about a thoughtfully-written topic and then go online to see the concepts in action. Web Style Guide delivers some of the most holistic coverage of site design you'll find. --"Stephen W. Plain, amazon.com"
