Phillip Margolin is one of my favorite crime novelists, partly due to the fact he lives in my hometown of Portland, Oregon and usually places his stories there. I had the pleasure of finally getting to the top of the list at the library for his latest book Executive Privilege. I personally feel this is one of his best novels. It grabbed my attention and didn't let go until the final page. ...             The Price of Privilege: How Parental Pressure and Material Advantage Are Creating a Generation of ...39 reviews Madeline Levine Harper Paperbacks, 2008 Money Doesn't Always Buy Happiness... I'll jump right in and say it -- my husband and I may very well be at the lower end of the target demographic for this book. We both work full time, we live in a relatively affluent area of Northern California, own a home, have a Prius, and are currently contemplating whether to send our kids to public or private school. Nevertheless, I was pretty skeptical about a book that treats upper class ...             Privilege and Scandal: The Remarkable Life of Harriet Spencer, Sister of Georgiana4 reviews Janet Gleeson Three Rivers Press, 2008 A Real Page-Turner Highly recommend this book. Harriet had a celebrated life like her more famous older sister, Georgiana, Duchess of Devonshire. Harriet's world included a who's-who of late 18th-early 19th century English society. If you liked Amanda Foreman's book on Georgiana, you will really enjoy this book on Harriet...a star in her own right.             The War is Over: Stop Struggling and Accept the Privileges of Peace with God Andrew Wommack Harrison House, 2008 There have been many wars throughout history and more yet to come.

A must read for managers, researchers and anyone dealing with luxury brands. Well written and worth the investment             The Privilege of Being a Woman Alice von Hildebrand Veritas Press of Ave Maria College, 2002 Women historically have been denigrated as lower than men or viewed as privileged. Dr. Alice von Hildebrand characterizes the difference between such views as based on whether man's vision is secularistic or steeped in the supernatural. She shows that feminism's attempts to gain equality with men by imitation of men is unnatural, foolish, destructive, and self-defeating. The Blessed Mother's role in the Incarnation points to the true privilege ...             White Male Privilege: A Study of Racism in America 40 Years After the Voting Rights Act4 reviews Mark Rosenkranz Law Dog Books, 2007 Introspective As Well As Thought Provoking What strikes me about this book is the fact that the author seems to genuinely care about the responses he gets from his interviewees. I know I'm doing some reading between the lines, but I believe it's because the author himself has spent a good amount of time reflecting on his own predjudices and experiences, and I commend him for doing so. I hope those who read his book will be inspired to do ...             The Heart of Whiteness: Confronting Race, Racism and White Privilege18 reviews Robert Jensen City Lights Publishers, 2005 Very Good Exploration of Racism The author does a very good job of bringing to the attention of the reader one of the major sources of racism: white privilege.

My memory is the best thing I have." Memories, and in many cases, the memories of the aged, infuse this collection of fourteen stories with surprises.
