I know three of the five characters, (McCain, McFarlane, and Webb), and truly admire them all.

McCurdy Allyn & Bacon, 2006 Excellent collection, a standard in anthro -- and the 12th is DIFFERENT from the11th I've used this collection off and on for years in teaching Introduction to Cultural Anthropology. It's a great book, a real standard in anthropology. Honestly, I think the relevance and quality of the essays varies from edition to edition. I liked the 11th more than the 12th. Sometimes a 'favorite' essay gets replaced; and then in the next edition it is returned. Go figure. I note that ...             The Things They Carried696 reviews Tim O'Brien Broadway, 1998 Brilliant - Audio version was captivating This review is based on the audio version. First let me say, that I generally do not care for short stories, and I have also managed to avoid most books about war. Once I began listening to this book, I would find myself sitting in my car (after having reached my destination) just to hear a bit more. The reader was fabulous and the stories ...all of them....just had me wanting to hear more. ...             The Lucifer Effect: Understanding How Good People Turn Evil60 reviews Philip Zimbardo Random House Trade Paperbacks, 2008 Or the Angelic effect? In 1971 Dr. Phillip Zimbardo joined the likes of Milgram and Munoz as being perhaps one of the most dubious researchers at the edge of psychology. This is because he engaged in a two week experiment to test the reactions of students to being placed in an artificial prison to see what their reactions would be. Though the project had been scheduled for a mere two weeks, a stunned Zimbardo ...             On Combat: The Psychology and Physiology of Deadly Conflict in War and in Peace91 reviews Dave Christensen Grossman, Loren W.

We all need to read this book and become more aware so things can ...             People Skills: How to Assert Yourself, Listen to Others, and Resolve Conflicts40 reviews Robert Bolton Touchstone, 1986 Great people skills book Although "People Skills" was first published in 1986, I feel obliged to review it as the principles and lessons espoused by Robert Bolton are timeless. In fact it is probably one of the most used books in my collection (I even have the paperback version covered in plastic and it's never far from my desk). "People Skills" is not a book that one sits down and reads from cover to cover. It's a ...             The Verbally Abusive Relationship: How to Recognize it and How to Respond220 reviews Patricia Evans Adams Media, 2003 This book saved my soul Verbal abuse kills your soul one word at a time.

All in all, this is the most helpful book I ...             We Wish to Inform You That Tomorrow We Will be Killed With Our Families: Stories from Rwanda215 reviews Philip Gourevitch Picador, 1999 One of the best books I have read in a long time Philip Gourevitch, in We Wish to Inform You, has accomplished an incredible feat: a moral and reasoned history of an insane situation. He manages to cut through all of the misinformation that we so often hear about the Rwandan Genocide and write something truly informative. Other reviews on Amazon have complained about his focus on the political/violent situation in the entire region, but I ...             Picture Perfect62 reviews Jodi Picoult Berkley Trade, 2002 Page Turner Jodi Picoult has written a page turner that has you on the edge of your seat.

Great book!!             We Are Soldiers Still: A Journey Back to the Battlefields of Vietnam6 reviews Harold G. Moore, Joseph L. Galloway Harper, 2008 wistful and weepy Hal Moore sums up his interesting life in this short book. It's only partially tied to the 1965 battle in the Ia Drang Valley. Still, he describes moving events in 1993 when he, Joe Galloway, a few veterans and a couple of former North Vietmanese officers meet to reflect, re-live and celebrate sacrifice on both sides. They even hold hands and pray. The book is more about the important events ...             Other People's Children: Cultural Conflict in the Classroom, Updated Edition41 reviews Lisa Delpit New Press, 2006 Powerful and Challenging If you work with students from dominated cultures, this is a must read.
