The Bagel Baker is the best!
When I was a child, my parents read this book to my sister and I often. Now, that I am a teacher I continue to find this book rewarding for myself and my students. The story captures a magical feeling of family, culture, tradition, holidays, and bagels! I wish someday to buy this book for my own children. IT's a shame that a book that use to be ... is now out of print and costing ...! This ...

Art and Society: Readings in the Sociology of the Arts (Suny Series in Sociology of Culture)

Arnold W. Foster

State University of New York Press, 1989

Great collection of mid-sized articles
Cannot recommend this text highly enough. It covers a lot of territory and many major authors have contributed chapters within this compilation. I reference it all the time. Sometimes these academic comps can just be an underhanded way for an Assistant Prof. to gain stature within a sub-genre. I am happy to say that in the case of Art and Society this could not be further from the truth.

Poor Citations and Scholarship Quality!

They rant, rather than give ...

Excellent piece of work.
This book covers a vast array of different kinds of literature from different times all over the world. It's as effective as a classroom text book as it is for private use. I would definitely recommend getting it.

Freedoms and Solidarities: In Pursuit of Human Rights
Judith Blau

Rowman & Littlefield Publishers, Inc., 2007

Building on the materials of the first two volumes in their trilogy on human rights, in this third volume Blau and Moncada situate many of their arguments within the classical tradition of critical social science, but they also advance the genre of utopian social thought. This is not, in their hands, a speculative undertaking. They draw from empirical evidence, including many national comparisons. In volume 2, for example, they show how the U.S. ...
