Trên Mảnh Đất Người Đời - Tái bản 31/03/2015 Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Anatoli Stepanovich Ivanov

A Short History of Myth, by Karen Armstrong - about 3 stars; tough sledding, and really, until the last chapter, is only about a two star book - obviously, for me, it had a strong "finish"

The 1st book I'd read of fiction since I was in middle school. I read it in 2 days and could not put it down. Combination of science and finance fascinated me.

Lời Tiên Tri Của Giọt Sương Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Nhật Chiêu

Ever found a book - other than the Book of Mormon or Bible - that gives you peace? This one and its predecessor did that for me. I'm amazed at Charles Martin's ability to provide such depth into Dylan's love for his wife, Maggie. This book and the previous one have strong violent scenes that allow Dylan to find additional things to love about his wife. I suppose the peace comes from knowing that a man could feel this way about his wife and that if it can happen with one man (even if he is fictitious) then it's possible for it to happen with another. Perhaps even mine! I love the supporting characters. Maggie with her troubles, Amos with his fierce protective streak, Amanda with her friendship, and Bryce in all his stark-naked, bagpipe-playing glory. What a group to rally around you in support of adoption. What a way to demonstrate what a wonderful village can do to raise a child.

Trịnh Công Sơn - Thư Tình Gửi Một Người (Bìa Mềm) Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Nhiều Tác Giả

What was truly insightful about this books was the "expectation of women". After WWII in England, many in the upper classes found it difficult to find domestic help. Many of the jobs that were once live-in were almost impossible to find. That meant that many of these wealthy women would have to take care of a huge house by herself. The way in which Dorothy Whipple describes this is extremely sympathetic. And of course the men would NEVER help out. The series of events is devastating - really. There is a certain amount of discomfort when you are reading it as well. But Whipple's writing is so beautiful that you know in the end the protagonist will overcome these horrific events. The protagonist is at times too self-less - as liberated women of the 21st century you want to smack her on the head. But Whipple does explain that there were things you could not do. The protagonist becomes stubborn when it comes to financial help and at first you become infuriated with her, but then you begin to understand and admire her. I think this book should be read by anyone who has any interest in women's issues.

Trại Giam Tù Binh Phú Quốc - Những Trang Sử Đẫm Máu (1967 - 1973) Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Trần Văn Kiêm

I received it as a gift. I hated it! If I could give it zero stars I would. The husband and wife who wrote this book claim to be social scientists. Their style of writing is not in the least bit scientific. They do the reader the grand favor of presenting "facts" backed up by hard science and sifting through the information on gender differences so the reader doesn't have to. In my opinion, what they really did was start out with a theory and discard anything that didn't agree with it. Some of the physiological gender differences they refer to might actually be backed by scientific data. But the Peases fail to footnote any of the so-called facts with documentation of actual scientific publications or studies. And they also do the reader the great favor of telling him or her that if they disagree with their conclusions, it is only because the reader has been "victimized" by idealization. I don't think their conclusion that men and women are different is nearly as shocking as they think it is. In fact I agree that there are differences between the genders, and some of it is based on biology. However, the Peases discard theories of socialization to explain some gender differences and instead insist gender differences are mostly based on men and women evolving differently. And while they claim that they support women's rights to equality and working outside the home for equal compensation, they simultaneously advance the theory that relationships were happier when women got their self-esteem from providing a happy home for their hardworking husband and offspring. Their theory is pretty easy to challenge. After all if women were really so happy historically being homemakers, why would so many of them risked bliss on the homefront to join the workforce, fought for the right to vote, etc. I found this book as pandering to stereotypes and managing to insult both genders. Gender based humor shows up in a lot of entertainment. The reason I find it so angering in this book is that the Peases claim their information is all backed by science. And yet most of their conclusions are not backed by much data. They will do things like cite "a recent study" or throw out a statistic without actually giving any information about who performed the study, was it peer-reviewed, how was the study set up, etc. I also find it comical when they make claims that girls are mainly motivated by cooperation and you can't tell a leader in a group of women. It makes me question whether the Peases ever set foot in a grade school. I certainly recall there being a pecking order with the girls that was at least as clear, if not more defined than that of the boys.

Hãy Nghe Con Nói! - Con Khó Chịu Lắm Nha! Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Shinsuke Yoshitake

This was an excellent book. Dr. Coyne's style is very accessible, he presents the evidence in a very organized, easy-to-follow fashion, and obviously knows his subject. Beyond that, though, he discusses important side topics such as Evolutionary Psychology and the specifics of human origins with equal clarity. I think this represents one of the best books about evolution - it really covers it all, and in utterly convincing fashion. He has a way of presenting his argument in a logical, almost unassuming manner - so that he doesn't come across as an academic elitist or appear in any way combative. This style makes his book very readable and makes the case for evolution quietly irrefutable.

Cùng Em Học Toán Lớp 3 - Tập 1 Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

I read this in college and actually attended a lecture by Brian Greene. Personally, I enjoy the true science, even if I get lost at times, more than the simplified version presented for the lay-person. As an aside, from what I've gathered from some recent articles, it seems that string theory as set out when this book was written is coming under some serious challenges. This should be expected for any book written about a more recent scientific theory, but as such, just be careful quoting this book as the end-all-be-all on the subject.

Ngày Của Kiến Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Bernard Werber

This book was probably assigned for Martyn's "Christian Theology, Theories of Religion and World Faiths" course at Union Theological Seminary. It wasn't a particularly good class, but the readings in this collection were eye-opening, particularly as regards their representation of the traditional "religious" justifications for caste and racial inequalities in Indian societies. Coincidentally, the daughter of the series' editor, de Bary, was my next door neighbor in the Hastings dormitory for a year. He taught at Columbia University.

TedBooks - Kỳ Bí Dòng Sông Sôi Trong Lòng Amazon Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Andrés Ruzo

I read this book in 2 days because I wanted to figure out who Michael was- real or imaginary. At first I didn't know, so I was intrigued. Really enjoyed the story, but it reminded me a little of that movie "City of Angels" with Meg Ryan. One section was the bedroom scene, but I was thankful it wasn't too graphic. Quick easy read, cute little love story. I'm a sucker for love stories.

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Kathi Wagner

** spoiler alert ** Please!! whoa has read the end?? That was no ending! Elena and the other ghosts fight him and he (I forgot his name) backed down. Suddenly Elena comes back to life and stephen and elena are back together. Ow, I forgot Katarina died. This character came in, I don't know, 50 pages and then she died. I didn't like al the endings, but the writing was good, but still the writer ruined it. It was to rainbows, butterflies and ponys. It was like I was reading the new book of barbie.
