Paola Natalia _ittyhawk85 — Liked the book a lot. It tried really hard to "scientify" god, which I wasn't altogether convinced by, really. But, had it just left the description at supremely powerful beings (or, as it calls it, the "Ultimate Intelligences"), I guess I would have felt it was just pandering. So, I guess I'm glad he came out and called them gods. All in all, really good conclusion to the Hyperion story. One of the few sci-fi books that at least tried to develop its characters. Bravo.

Sofia Moren smorengaf2d — Really good! This is a YA book about a girl with Cerebral Palsy. She goes to a school and begins inclusion classes. She is so smart but doesn't have a way to communicate in the beginning. It was funny, sweet and sad. I can't imagine living like that.

Julcenei Cardoso julcenei — There are some parts of this book I really like. The Sarajevo Haggadah is an actual 600-year old illuminated Jewish manuscript, saved from looting and bombing by a Muslim archivist in 1996. This novel is an attempt by the author to explore and imagine the history of the book itself starting in the present day going backwards. Much of the historical detail is based on in-depth research of the manuscript, and the author has seen the manuscript and worked with the conservators of it, which is quite an advantage. The story of the Haggadah continues beyond the story in this book. The national museums, archives, and libraries in Bosnia have closed down due to lack of funding, and right now the manuscript (hopefully) sits in a safe place behind a locked vault of a museum without any staff or open hours. I like the vibrancy that detail brings to the novel, as if all of it might very well be true, and some of it is! Not as successful is the character of the conservator - I liked her in the first 50 pages back when I speed-dated the book, but her story soon got to be so unbelievable and ridiculous that I found myself racing through the present day sections to get to the historical fiction bits. Her mother, her unknown father, her relationship, working in caves... all just a little too dramatic, also unnecessary. The story of the haggadah is interesting enough. It doesn't need embellishment! I think this addition makes it read more like a beach read than it would have had the potential to otherwise. Perhaps that is a Brooks level, not having read any of her other books, I couldn't say.

Piotr Chludzinski baho — Arturo Escobar’s book Encountering Development is one of the foundational works of post-development studies. His research calls into question development as an institution, as an ordering system, and as a tool of capitalism and western hegemony. Instead of an objective science, Escobar--building on the traditions of Edward Said, Michel Foucault, and James Ferguson--argues that instead we should think of development as a powerful discourse of power and control. Within this discursive system, Escobar argues “development” dictates what can be thought and not thought. Escobar’s aim, then, is to hold up development itself as an object of study. Citing Donna Haraway, Escobar writes, “To treat science as narrative is not to be dismissive. On the contrary, it is to treat it in the most serious way, without succumbing to its mystification as “the truth”” (p. 19-20). In this way, Escobar is also carrying on the tradition of questioning the strategic alliances of knowledge and power. In the Saidian tradition (also Foucault), the Third World is a site of intervention for power of knowledge, a field in which to work, and a place where the other is reproduced in order to reaffirm hegemonic identity (in this case, Western dominance and the ethos of the market). As Escobar says, almost by fiat, two-thirds of the world’s people were transformed into poor; the concept of the poor was created so that it could be solved with the solutions already on hand (p. 13). Though the project might change, the essential nature of the solution remains the same. The expertise remains the same, and the solutions remain divorced from the local nature of the problem. As Batterbury and Fernando (2004) write on frequent criticisms of Escobar, the discourse of development is far from the essentialist bureaucratese that Escobar depicts it as. In addition, analysis that emphasizes politics and power miss much of the problems of livelihood and production that are real and not simply constructed features of the developing world (p. 116-117). This book will remain a controversial classic for everyone interested in development, both those critical of development and those hoping to become practitioners.
