A great book. It looks at various subjects through the lens of an economics professor. I think that through reading this book it opens the eyes of many people to how the human mind and heart work and how that impacts decisions. One of my favorite ways of showing this was how the book described a daycare that attempted to cut the number of instances of parents being late by charging a late fee. What they ended up seeing was a huge increase in the number of occurrences. Previously, parents were shamed into not being late but when they were charged a fee, they felt it was a service that they were paying for and the late fee was often not high enough for them to make sure they were on time. A fascinating book. Very worth the read.

Tôi Dám Thách Thức Với Thời Gian Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Lâm Chí Dĩnh

Adrik is the black sheep wild child. Instead of fighting his darker side, he plays with it, so close, but not quite crossing the line completely. As with this type of story, it takes a good woman to save him. That would be Karen. The two of them have a slightly baggage ridden relationship which I found amusing. This was another quick read for me.

Tâm Linh Dưới Góc Nhìn Khoa Học Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Great read. I haven't read Alexie in a while, and I wasn't disappointed. He's done a great job with an adolescent voice--a hard thing to do. Of course, he had to go a few places that will ensure that the book never gets taught (at least in a public school), but the book has such humor and charm it would easily beat Catcher in the Rye onto my adolescent must-read list.

Kì Quan Thiên Nhiên (Tái Bản 2015) Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Christine Lazier

I highly recommend this book to women in general, but especially to mothers and prospective mothers. Bennetts presents a well-researched/documented argument persuading women to nurture their careers along with their children once they become mothers. In exploring the recent trend of impressively educated, highly accomplished young women sacrificing their careers to become stay-at-home mothers, she ponders the question: Why, when the future is unpredictable and women can so easily lose their husbands' income to divorce, disability, and death, are so many young women choosing to cheerfully hope for the best and voluntarily become dependent on their husbands? She examines some social and historical reasons, including how the conservative media portray working moms as selfish and clamor for a return to more traditional gender roles. She argues that female dependency has very strong roots in western culture and there is a lot of pressure on women to stay at home. Bennetts cautions about the various risks to women. At the same time, she details the many advantages to maintaining a career, discussing the financial freedom and the security that come from employment but also the less tangible rewards, such as intellectual stimulation, continuing to face challenges as you move further ahead in your career, earning respect and accolades from colleagues and bosses, the pleasure of lifelong learning, and acting as a role model for your children, among other things. Overall it is a fascinating read and very important contribution.

Cuộc Sống Bao Điều Hay - Công Lí Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi:

After she finished reading Andre Dubus III's new memoir Townie one of my friends called me and asked, "Is this book as good as I think it is or is it just that I grew up around all of these places he writes about?" I told her that while place is certainly important in the book, the book is exactly as good as she thinks it is. And it is. And so what of this place where my friend, and Dubus, and I now live? This place is the north shore of Massachusetts, once known for its down-in-the-mouth mill and fishing towns bordering the Merrimack river but which is now gentrified and not only a commuter location for those working Boston but also its own happening place to live and work. Not so in the days when Dubus and my friend were coming up. Son of a hard-living writer and a hard-working mother, Dubus suffered the same fate of many of us living our childhood in the 60s and 70s when helicopter parents did not exist, that of benign neglect. Our parents meant us no harm; they had grown up in difficult times themselves--many born into the Great Depression or into war. They learned how to survive and that's what they taught us, mostly by leaving us alone. And that was really okay, actually. Like Dubus, we either learned how to survive and thrive or we didn't. You might assume that this book is going to be about what it's like to be the child of one of the 20th century's best writers, but in actuality that Dubus's father was a writer is only a fraction of the tale. At its core this is a story of this son's redemption and, ultimately, of his awakening. Indeed, some of the most poignant moments within this narrative are when Dubus realizes what he has become (a brute) and what he might become (a murderer) and then, most importantly, what he wants to be and will choose to be (a creator/a husband/a father). The pivotal scene occurs when instead of heading out to the gym as he would normally do after a day's hard labor, Dubus makes him self a cup of tea and sits down at his table and writes. In this moment and in this act, he (perhaps unconsciously) saves himself: "I blinked and looked around my tiny rented kitchen, saw things I'd never seen before: the stove leaning to the left, the handle of the fridge covered with dirty masking tape, the chipped paint of the window casing, a missing square of linoleum on the floor under the radiator. I stood and closed the notebook. I picked up the pencil and set it on top like some kind of marker, a reminder to me of something important I shouldn't lose." He does not use writing as therapy, rather he uses it as an act of survival. Of turning the eye outward, so that vision might reflect back inward. For me, this scene was keenly familiar to my own experience in which I, too, picked up the pen as a means of saving myself, of pushing myself away from darkness into the bright glare of awareness. In fact, so much of the book feels familiar, not because of how I lived and live now but because what Dubus taps into is something common to the human experience: the choices we make that allow us to survive. The choices we make that bring us one more rung up the ladder from merely surviving up to thriving. As such, this book is not about blame or self-pity; it's about examining the darkness within you so that you might share your own light. Read it.

Nghiệt Duyên Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Thommayanti

I wish the author wrote a bit more about elephants in biological and behavioural terms. There was a little too much info about Asian elephants and how it tied into Indian culture and history for my liking. But, you read this, and other information about elephants, and you get even more disgusted seeing them perform no more than demeaning tricks in circuses for the entertainment value of the ignorant masses, bullied and abused into unnatural behaviour.

After Dowd's Solace, I was disappointed in this book. I thought it moved slowly, although it might have been more interesting for a British teen. The setting of Northern Ireland in the 80's provided a thought-provoking situation, but the story bogged down (no pun intended) until the very end.
