365 Chuyện Kể Mỗi Ngày (Tái Bản 2017) Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Ngọc Khánh

Described on my class syllabus as "an ambiguous heterotopia," this science fiction novel takes place in a future where not only are the moons of Saturn, Neptune et al inhabited, they are at war with Earth and the other planets. The reason behind this war? Life for "moonies" is significantly more laid back, in terms of lifestyle, fashion, living arrangements, and even sexual identity (whether gender preference or gender identity; here, having one's gender changed is an out-patient procedure that takes several hours for the "full" effect), and Earth can't handle the truth. The story's narrator, Bron Helstrom, is a Martian (as in, born and bred on Mars, not a little green man) and this seems to be a sticking point for his personality: he's often accused of acting in "type" and being very Martian, despite his assertion that he hates being typified and he likes to act in ways that should surprise people. Overall, he's not a very likeable character. His self-centeredness coupled with his tendency toward pathological lying makes him amusing but, for me, unable to be identified and empathized with. In the final 50 pages of the novel proper (ignoring the two Appendices), his decision to make a radical change in his life (hint: dude looks like a lady) may leave the reader even more chilled towards his presumptive reasons. Not sorry I read it, won't read it again, but may pick up more by Delaney as a result.

Barbie 5-Minute Stories The Sister Collection Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Random House

The narration of this audiobook is great, but the book itself is a little complicated to follow, particularly in audio format. You really have to be a book lover to enjoy the Thursday Next series, and although I plan to read the rest of the books, I'm going to take a break for awhile. It's a lot to absorb.

I really liked the concept of the book. However several things annoyed me and took away some enjoyment. Like the way the author went into too much detail when it wasn't necessary, I found myself skimming through some paragraphs. I also felt no real connection to the two main characters either.

1922 Newbery Medal Winner Okay... mmmm... no, can't do it. I'm not going to finish this one. A lot of reviewers have already aired legitimate criticisms of this first of the Newbery-winning children's books. I got past the Indo-Europeans, Romans, Greeks, etc., and some of the sections in those were pretty interesting as a jumping-off point to learning more about history. It's definitely about Western civilization, though, and doesn't represent "mankind" as a whole in any sense. In one of the illustrative maps, Europe and the Mediterranean are carved up into various peoples and empires, whereas Africa is all one place labeled "Negroes." Ouch. There is one chapter "Concerning Buddha and Confucius," but China as an ancient civilization advanced for its time is ignored. Laughably, the beginning paragraph in the chapter referenced above says "As this is a story of mankind and not an exclusive history of the people of Europe and our western hemisphere, you ought to know something of two men whose teaching and whose example continue to influence the actions and the thoughts of the majority of our fellow-travelers on this earth" (241). I'll just let that one sit there. Two pages later is a map of "The Three Great Religions" that shows Europe as being full of "Christians," North Africa and the Middle East full of "Mohammedans," India and China both full of "Buddhists," and everything north of China is labeled "Heathens." To be fair, despite the author being a person of his time who focuses on world history from a European perspective and pretends that he's writing a world history, he doesn't really seem to advocate violence against other people. He includes a lot of Christian and Jewish beliefs presented as factual history, but he also discusses evolution and early man. In the chapter on "Colonial Expansion and War," he goes on a tangent for a few pages about how the entire history was written with his personal bias about what was important. So, he's not without self-reflection. That said, as a librarian I can't really call this a history book. It's more like a creative memoir of Western civilization by a specific man at a specific time with all of the implicit biases and assumptions that entails. Parts of it appear to be made up wholesale, like the Roman letters about Jesus of Nazareth, and it has zero source citations. So, I can't recommend it as a history book, and I can't recommend it for modern kids because it's kind of sleep-inducing and not very appropriate in the way it refers to "savages," "heathens," etc. The most I can say to its credit is that some of it is well-written and the author was aware of some of its flaws.

244 Câu Hỏi Và Bài Tập Chọn Lọc Hoá Học Trung Học Cơ Sở (Kiến Thức Cơ Bản Và Nâng Cao) Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Vũ Minh Tuân

I read this book because I'm developing an ethics course at work. The main thesis behind the book is that people make poor ethical choices not because they're bad people but because they are blind to the factors that shortcut their decisions. For example, last month's kerfuffle involving the authors who were unwilling to change/delete the gay character from their MG sci-fi series. During the melee, there was a lot of focus and back and forth on the agency and whether or not the agency/agent were bigoted/anti-gay. As I read post after post defending the agency ("I know them and they're not anti-gay. They would never do anything like this."), I kept thinking of one of the blind spots brought up in this book—reclassification. The agency and its friends may see themselves in this certain light, but by reclassifying the decision ("It's a marketing decision about what will sell."), they're able to distance themselves and eliminate the gay character (which was an elimination of a gay character if the accounts of not eliminating the straight romantic elements as well is true) by blaming it on something else. So, the book provided good food for thought. It plodded along with a lot of unnecessary repetition. It might have also benefitted with more examples, and more diverse ones at that.

A little too much "philosophy" for me here. It's hard for me not to find a book pretentious when it often comes to a full stop to just talk about the universe....

Giải Mã Bí Ẩn - Tập IV Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Nhiều Tác Giả

Mary is a teenage girl growing up in a bleak future where the world has been overrun by flesh-eating zombies called the Unconsecrated. She lives in a fenced village that is controlled by the Sisterhood, an order of women charged with protecting the survival of the village and it's people. The forest that surrounds the village is infested by zombies and never to be ventured into. But Mary longs to leave and see the ocean that her mother told her about. And she longs for a different life than that chosen for her by the Sisterhood, who have arranged for her to marry Harry, when it is Harry's brother Travis that she loves. When an outsider arrives in the village, the truths of Mary's world begin to crumble. But the arrival of this outsider unexplainably leads to tragedy and the overrunning of the village. Mary and a few others are the only survivors and they must leave the village and find a way to survive outside, not knowing whether or not they are the last people alive on earth. The Forest of Hands and Teeth is a wonderful debate novel by the talented new writer Carrie Ryan. Although the story is grim, there are bits of hope in it too, as we see the strength of humanity to survive no matter what. I highly recommend this novel to anyone who enjoys a good young adult novel - it's definitely not just for science fiction fans. I look forward to reading more by books this promising new author in young adult fiction
