Chim Én Liệng Trời Cao Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Ma Văn Kháng

Howard Zinn didn't live quite long enough to be as disappointed in Barack Obama as a lot of us are, but in any case, he wouldn't have been disillusioned, because he wouldn't have been surprised. In Zinn's book, there has never been a U.S. president who was not a conservative at heart, and in practice. Zinn's founding fathers were at least as concerned with protecting the privileged status they considered natural to their class, race, and sex as they were with throwing off the oppression of other rich white men across the sea. His Lincoln was a liberator only because he was a pragmatic politician, and the patrician FDR's genius was in recognizing that Republican reactionary policy was breeding a revolution, a real socialist rain to wash the scum off the streets: the New Deal was nothing more than bread and circuses to placate the masses. It's impossible for someone of my political bent not to have had some Zinn filter down to me over the years, but a concentrated infusion of it has been as invigorating as it has been profoundly depressing. And if I were teaching American history in high school, I hope I'd have the courage to teach this book. Of course, if I did, I wouldn't last through freshman orientation week, never mind a full semester. But even a taste of Zinn would be a useful antidote to the my-country-right-or-wrong dogma that I'm sure still predominates in the classroom.

Con Gái Người Kỹ Nữ Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Juliet Philip

Not one of my favorite works by Francesca Lia Block. The story itself was alright, but the way it read wasn't really anything interesting. I read it soley because it had been on my list to read for a while and I found it for cheap, but when it came down to it, she didn't write with the same style she usually does. Pretty disappointed with this. The base message was nice I suppose; love, loss, and mortality. But that wasn't enough.

Làm Chủ Thành Công Của Bạn Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Ben Newman

The world this book creates is fantastic. It brims over with creativity and ideas. Ultimately, however, I felt that the plot and characters fell a bit short, and the dialogue was rather stilted, which is why it only gets three stars; but it's worth a read for the sheer brilliance and wonder of the setting. The characters start off in a future Earth that's been transformed by a mixture of scientific and magical catastrophe and then travel to another world called Ginen; the former is much more interesting than the latter. On Earth, the weird magic and the politicking feel scary and fascinating; in the other world, the strangeness goes over the top and ceases to intrigue, and the nifty ideas about the setting end up taking the place of a satisfying plot. Despite some heavy elements, the dialogue and style are more mid-grade than YA. Might appeal to fans of The Ear the Eye and the Arm (possibly the only other children's book with a futuristic African setting) or Un Lun Dun (which shares a similar creative exuberance.)

Combo Kinh Tế: Lãnh Đạo Không Đơn Giản Là Chỉ Huy + Tuyển Dụng Để Đạt Hiệu Suất Cao Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Tan Hong Wee

Gives a nice sense of the organic/dynamic nauture of language and dialects in the US. Each chapter focuses on a different region or dialect such as chicano, black english, computer technologies that attempt to mimic human speech, valley girl, etc. A light read that scratches the surface of linguistics, but a decent introduction peppered with some occasional "no kidding!" insights.

Big Data - Dữ Liệu Lớn Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Bernard Marr

This book was different than I thought it was going to be. It is a story which represents Lewis' views on Hell and Heaven. Those stuck in Hell don't believe they are in Hell because it seems almost the same as Earth. They get interactions with those in Heaven, but most of them are unwilling to "convert." The thing those in heaven want them to do is totally give up themselves--their pride, their obsessions, their insistence that they are always right. Heaven is like the world also, only more real. It is very philosophical and overall a good read. The thing that snags me the most is the recurring theme that in order to "get into Heaven" one must want nothing but to know God. This sounds alright, and half the time I am for it. But one example (of many similar situations) in the book is of a mother wanting to reconnect with her dead son. She is told that she may see her son once she desires only for God and no longer to see her son. In "A Grief Observed," which Lewis wrote much later, he criticized this view. He said it is like telling a child who wants candy, "You must grow up first until you are an adult and no longer want candy, and then you may have candy." I sometimes see how the earlier view makes sense, but I can never stay satisfied for long. Overall it is a good book which gave me more to think on the idea of Heaven and Hell as something quite different than the traditional views.

Bút Ký Người Đi Săn Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Ivan Tuốcghênhép

A classic. I read it for the class "Imagination in Religious Literature," and boy was it imaginative -- but I loved it! Jesus is portrayed as very human in this novel, but of course, that`s not the only thing that sparks controversy. The first 100 pages were a bit tough to get through, but after that it just gets better and better.
