Robins Springer, 2003 Wonderful Book--Full of Insight and Practical Value This book is a major contribution to the field of causal inference. A general methodology for estimating the magnitude of cause-effect relationships from observational data is presented, with many examples. The book is written at a high level, and requires mathematical maturity and a solid foundation in semi-parametric statistics, which can be learned from either Efficient and Adaptive ...             Censored 1997 (Censored)1 review Project Censored Seven Stories Press, 2003 Enlightening, yet scary This book is wonderful. It describes in detail the most important, yet censored stories of the year. I learned more from this than i learn in a years worth of news. The coverups and secrecy scares me, showing vividly how manipulative media, politics and industry really are. Truly a great buy. It is your duty to read this amazing book             Blue Planet in Green Shackles21 reviews Vaclav Klaus Competitive Enterprise Institute, 2007 Impeccable Logic and Compelling Insights from Pres. Klaus A thought-provoking, reasoned approach to the hysteria that is the global warming movement. Pres. Klaus approaches the questions about and proposed solutions to global warming with sound economic principles and common sense rather than intellectually vacuous rhetoric and fear mongering that has become en vogue. A must-read for those looking for some clear-headed perspectives on climate change.             Nondetects and Data Analysis: Statistics for Censored Environmental Data (Statistics in Practice)5 reviews Dennis R. Helsel, USGS Wiley-Interscience, 2004 Sensible advice for analyzing non-detects with environ. data Anyone involved in the analysis of environmental data will benefit from this easy-to-follow book. Measurements of environmental data often contain "less than" values below the laboratory limit of detection. This book provides a sensible approach for analyzing this type of information and, importantly, informs the reader of the inadvertent bias that can result from some of the commonly used ...             The Story of Little Babaji22 reviews Helen Bannerman Joanna Cotler, 1996 A Classic Tale Told With Class The Story of Little Babaji is a terrific new retelling of the old childrens story of Little Black Sambo. The drama and intrigue (and yummy, buttery pancakes) of the original are all present here, but without the unfortunate racially-charged issues that have plagued the original story. The art for this book is fantastic, and I find it quite hard to decide which image of the various tigers I like ...             The Progressive Guide to Alternative Media and Activis (Open Media Pamphlet Series, 8)1 review Open Media, 2003 Great resource for activists A great resource for activists around the country. Packed with addresses and phone numbers of organizations, publications and magazines. The only possible flaw is that it is 95%+ left/liberal oriented. Not that that bothers me, but I guess it could be considered a flaw to some people.             20 Years of Censored News8 reviews Carl Jensen Seven Stories Press, 2003 A must-read - to understand today's news Never heard of East Timor until a few weeks ago? Well, you would have if the other news stories about East Timor over that past few years had made it into the mainstream news! This book made me realize just how bad the situation is out there in the media. How controlled by corporate PR and government intervention our supposedly "free" media is. How could this happen in the United States ...             Censored 1998: The News That Didn't Make the News2 reviews Seven Stories Press, 2003 lifting the lid A highly useful book that includes in its contents: unreported or underreported stories from the mainstream media; a guide to names, addresses and websites of the alternative press; essays and commentaries discussing aspects of the media; and a nifty little chart that traces interlocking corporate rtelationships between the media combines and their fat cat corporate pardners. The stories ...             Taboo Tunes: A History of Banned Bands and Censored Songs3 reviews Peter Blecha Backbeat Books, 2004 Naughty, but nice! Taboo Tunes is not the first book ever published on music censorship, but FINALLY we get one written with skill, serious spunk, attitude, and flair. The author lays out the basics of what arts-censorship is, the deep history of the practice as a socio-political tool of the powerful, a brief survey of modern-day censorship in a global context, and then gets down to business: relating the story of ...             Sherman Exposed: Slightly Censored Climbing Stories5 reviews John Sherman Mountaineers Books, 2001 Read it and weep - with laughing Finally a book with climbing stories that are really worth reading. This book is very varied containing pieces that are fun, sad, informative, disgusting, interesting and many other things as well. After all the "we climbed the first ascent of so and so in three days"-stories here's a collection of articles about climbing and life that would still be great reading even if they were not about ...             Underexposed: Censored Pictures and Hidden History4 reviews Vision On Publishing, 2002 Plenty of censorship in the US too It's important to realize that the previous reviewer was actually completely positive about the book and so even though only three stars were given, the book actually was quite recommended. My opinion about the book is equally positive. I especially enjoyed the portrayal of Henry Ford as a fascist and anti-union capitalist. Normally, the only thing Americans learn about this man is that he ...             The Muslim Marriage Guide (Censored Edition)12 reviews Ruqaiyyah Waris Maqsood Goodword Books,India, 1998 Excellent-the first I've seen this topic covered Islamically I read this well written book and must say it provides some very good insight into building strong maritial relationships and it gives good relationship advice. Someone else commented on the lack of need for such a book...I respectfully disagree, as I think it is great that Ruqayyah Maqsood has written a book on this topic from an Islamic viewpoint, with sensitivities to the Islamic context. I ...             Who Censored R. Rabbit?12 reviews Gary Wolf Ballantine Books, 1987 Darker than the film This is the cult classic which inspired the film "Who framed Roger Rabbit" but the original book is much darker and more adult in tone than the film - and in spite of the fact that half the characters are "toons," much less cartoonish. This is set in an alternative Hollywood in which cartoon characters or "toons" are real. Unlike the film however, they are neither industructible nor immortal. ...             Censored 1999: The News That Didn't Make the News3 reviews Seven Stories Press, 2003 Amazing! The mainstream press controls what you see on the evening news and for most people that may be find, for the rest you need to read this book. What you haven't been told just might surprise you. From how the United States has undermine the nuclear test ban treaty to tax money use to support death squads and 23 other "missing" stories, you may find yourself outraged and infuriated and maybe a ...             Censored 2006: The Top 25 Censored Stories (Censored)5 reviews Project Censored Seven Stories Press, 2005 If The Majority Are Unaware Of A Crime, Then ....Did It Really Happen? "They could be made to accept the most flagrant violations of reality...and were not sufficiently interested in public events to notice what was happening." ~ Orwell, 1984 You are being to lied to at every turn. Truth is dismissed as propaganda, while propaganda is presented as truth. It's been this way for so long that most people aren't capable or willing to examine it. It's too alien, ...             First Into Nagasaki: The Censored Eyewitness Dispatches on Post-Atomic Japan and Its Prisoners of War15 reviews George Weller Three Rivers Press, 2007 A Stiff But Important Read In the foreword, Walter Cronkite says: "This is an important book -- important and gripping." Somehow, categorizing a book as "important" has always struck me as a rather weak recommendation ... until now. A gentleman I have known for years has told me often of his brother, a prisoner of the Japanese, beaten repeatedly in the coal mines of Japan. In fact, almost 50 years later, he lost a ...             Censored 2003 (Censored)4 reviews Project Censored Seven Stories Press, 2003 Project Censored Gets Back on Track As a longtime follower of the annual Project Censored guides, I was distressed by the last few editions, which were becoming marred by whiny conspiracy theories and a bleeding-heart editorial style (especially the 2001 edition). This latest 2002/03 edition gets back on track with a newly hard-hitting stance on the increasing weaknesses of the mainstream media. Given the partial revival of ...             Censored 2007: The Top 25 Censored Stories7 reviews Seven Stories Press, 2006 Last Resort for Those Who Want Real News With each and every corporate media mega-merger, the news industry becomes less competitive and, as a result, less informative. These days, it is becoming increasingly difficult to get real news. Luckily, for those who want to keep informed, there is Project Censored (PC), a non-profit news organization developed by Peter Phillips, Professor of Sociology at Sonoma University. This year's CENSORED ...             Places I Never Meant To Be : Original Stories by Censored Writers9 reviews Judy Blume, 2001 A look at what is being censored- - good literature I loved these short stories. In some of them, I had difficulty understanding why they would be censored. So, okay, my favorite, Paul Zindel's "Love and Centipedes," is a little insane. It was also utterly perverse and simultaneously sickening and hilarious. This one is a real treat and focuses on one girl's infatuation with a popular high school jock with a cheerleader girlfriend. I also ...             Censored 2001 (Censored)5 reviews Project Censored Seven Stories Press, 2001 missing the mainstream of interests I have been picking up these books for the last eight years. It is amazing what the mainstream media considers news and what they miss and ignore as news, thus they are missing the mainstream of interests of the American public or what should be the interests of the public. Instead, the mainstream goes after fluff and disasters news that is inoffensive to the corporate/business interest of this ...              search for books activis, alternative, analysis, causality, censored, climbing, dispatches, environmental, exposed, eyewitness, history, longitudinal, marriage, methods, nagasaki, nondetects, original, pamphlet, pictures, post-atomic, practice, prisoners, progressive, shackles, slightly, statistics, stories, underexposed, unified, writers books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
