Who better to explain hinduism than a lover of jerusalem.
Ms. Doniger is a very reasonable thinker, she is secularist and liberal, so I agree with her in many ways and on many things. But the subject of the ancient culture of India requires more than secular intellectualism. To understand such an ancient and advanced civilization from the perspective of modern western culture requires a mind that is imaginitive, intuitive and independent. Ms. Doniger ...

Major work on political agenda setting
Agenda setting, in the world of politics, is when a problem becomes identified as an issue that calls for government attention, discussion, and--possibly--decision making. This book is one of the most important works on agenda-setting. John Kingdon has stated that: Political events flow along according to their own dynamics and their own rules. Participants perceive swings in national ...

When You Don't Want It To End.
How rare is the novel that you don't want to end? The type that you find yourself reading slower and slower as it goes along because you can't bear to come to the last page. How rare the book that you finish and instantaneously begin reading again. I loved Alternatives to Sex. Loved the main character and his odd quirks and subtle sense of humor. Loved the various loonies inhabiting his life. ...

Book Review from the Aleph Blog
I'm taking a brief break from "all crisis, all the time" writing. I'm backlogged on book reviews, and it is time to write some. When I get a book on asset allocation, I suck in my gut and say, "Oh no, not another book that falls into the common traps of only relying on past history, and doesn't consider structural factors...." I was surprised this time, and I have a book on asset allocation ...
Alternative Vegan: International Vegan Fare Straight from the Produce Aisle (Tofu Hound Press)

Teaches rather than dictates, a great book
Too many cookbooks are focused on grinding out the 20-minute this or the 250-calorie that, and so it's refreshing to see a book that assumes that the author not only enjoys cooking for its own sake, but that he or she is willing to dally a bit on the way to dinner and experiment with a wide array of ingredients. The recipes focus on ways of cooking and general guidelines, so that what is gained ...

The Socialist Alternative: Real Human Development
Michael Lebowitz
Monthly Review Press
, 2010
?A good society,? Michael Lebowitz tells us, ?is one that permits the full development of human potential.? In this slim, lucid, and insightful book, he argues persuasively that such a society is possible. That capitalism fails his definition of a good society is evident from even a cursory examination of its main features. What comes first in capitalism is not human development but privately accumulated profits by a tiny minority of the ...

An Informative Page-turner
Several months ago I read an interesting National Geographic article on ethanol. I learned how Brazil's motor vehicles run on ethanol, and how expensive it is to produce ethanol from corn. But where could I find a book covering the salient points on hydrogen fuel cells, coal, diesel engines, nuclear power, solar cells, maglev trains, wind power, geothermal heating, hybrid-electric vehicles, ...

A fun, insightful read
Thatcher was one of the most significant political figures of the 20th century. In addition to being a powerful leader she also was very much a woman. To gain a vivid understanding of her one needs piquant prose. Berlinski delivers. This book is a hoot.

Guides you through the maze of supplement bottles
I am open to supplements, but not ready to throw out traditional medicine just yet. And I'm overwhelmed by the 50-foot aisle of supplements at my grocery store. I see 37 different kinds of calcium alone and honestly, I give up. What's safe to take? Which manufacturers are trustworthy? Who knows? Well, this book guides you through natural supplements that can improve or heal many conditions ...

Relief at last!
Truly a blessing! Now I finally understand why I have heartburn - it isn't a deficiency of Prilosec that's for sure. Had I known sooner, I could have solved the real problem and spared myself not only a lot of expense but also have avoided the side effects of the drug. Contains lots of helpful health and nutrition advice too. Easy read. Because it lists so many scientific studies, I'm giving ...
