Mãi Mãi Là Bí Ẩn - Tập 2 Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Nhiều Tác Giả

This was great! But I was kind of hoping it would make me want to quit smoking and start being a runner. It did not. If anything, it solidified my already-pretty-solid hatred of the idea of running. God damn stupid healthy Haruki.

Jay Feldman has done a great service in writing this book. He writes of how politicians and community leaders have often stirred up controversy where it didn't exist and used minority groups as convenient scapegoats. The book covers actions done by Democrats and Republicans from the early 1900s up to the present. It's shocking how much the government created mountains out of simply nothing in order to further policy goals (e.g. supporting World War I), consolidate power (Hoover at the BI and FBI), generate money (part of the reason why loyal Japanese-Americans were forced off their rich agricultural property during World War II), etc. Even worse, the media whipped it the hatred and hypocrisy, time and again. And not just some controversial rag but the New York Times, Washington Post, etc. Bloodthirsty calls for silencing alternate opinions by all means necessary flew out of the so-called Free Press. Back then, these papers were right up there with today's Fox (Faux) News. At first, I was a little overwhelmed by Feldman's example after example for each situation he covered. However, after awhile, I realized that this was one of the major accomplishments of the book. Overwhelming evidence that what happened was not an aberration. The constant scapegoating, federal spying and outright lies by Members of Congress and the Administration were not simply a sign of the times. Over and over again, he shows how individuals at the time told their superiors that the end result the boss wanted simply wasn't true and could not be supported by facts. The superiors outright ignored their confidants (not some anonymous grunt miles away but their direct aides and often high-government official aides) and pushed forward with some of the most undemocratic, un-American actions I've ever read. Attacks on teachers, labor unions, minority groups, peace groups, women's rights, civil rights, etc. went on nonstop since the early part of the 20th Century. Whole movements were undermined and destroyed by FBI disinformation campaigns (under the various COINTELPRO (Counter Intelligence Programs), including many leftist parties that were not coordinating with global communist but were fighting for better wages, safer working environments and respect. The mind boggles at what would have happened if socialist parties had a chance to develop in this country. Would they have grown into the social democratic parties we see in Europe that provide safety nets and make sure that their citizens aren't one illness away from poverty? The irony of most of what was happening was that while saying that they were working to protect the Constitution and fight against world authoritarianism, various federal, state and local governmental forces practically turned the United States into a police state, with the outright support of the media and often certain sections of the population. We've always been able to pull back from the precipice, but Feldman ends the book by noting that we must be ever vigilant, for there is a tipping point. I originally thought of giving Manufacturing Hysteria four stars since I thought the epilogue that touched on the Bush II era was more of a sketch than a real contribution. If you paid attention during the last decade, you know what he would be writing, but it doesn't stand up to the quality and depth of the rest of the book. However, overall, this is an excellent book and worth reading and keeping close at hand as America continues growing up.

Really fun book! Reminded me of Harry Potter but that's fine with me as it made it such an enjoyable book. Will definitely pick up the sequel.

Well, in some ways it was worse than what I was expecting, and in some ways better. This whole instant reaction where everyone is a special snowflake in some way is really kind of annoying. Seriously, why do they all, out of all of the vampires everywhere, have special powers? Also, I understand infatuation, but the levels they go to after knowing each other for such short periods of time...it just seems a little too...immature for such people. I can see it from Bella, being quite young and immature for her age, and I suppose since Edward was changed at about the same age and never really had any kind of relationships he'd be stuck at the same developmental level too, but come on peoples! Seriously, it's just so...so...I don't even know. I'm also re-watching Buffy, and quite a few of the scenes in the book are reminiscent of scenes from Buffy, though Edward is quite a bit more controlling and stalker-y than Angel ever was. Completing each other doesn't mean you don't ever hang out with anyone else. I know Bella's average high school friends were, well, average, but why does she pretty much drop them when she and Edward get together? You need your own groups of friends to be fully adjusted, functioning adults. Not that they ever will be. Enjoyable for the most part, but not a wonderful piece of literature.

I really enjoyed this book and from what the teens have told me it is going to be a trilogy. Great look into the beginnings of the mad scientist Frankenstein.

Re-reading these as an adult on my own and with my children is such a delight. The symbolism and moral lessons as well as Lewis' amazing story-telling skills are more appreciated with age and each re-read.

Chim Sẻ Ban Mai - Tập 5 Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Girlne Ya

This is a humorous read, easy to pick up and put down - you may not laugh out loud, but you will chuckle and smile. Written in 1992, this story supposes 'what if' the Republican Party in Great Britain won the election and kicked the Royal Family out of their palaces, made them live in council housing, ride the bus, struggle with obtaining their share of the 'dole', National Health, and the criminal justice system. Townsend takes each of the Royal Family members with their personalities as the public knows them, and imagines how they will react. The crown jewels, the art work, all the 'royal' belongings are sold to distribute the proceeds to the general public - but there's still not enough funds to create Utopia. I won't spoil it by revealing the final twist!

I first read Anne of Green Gables when I was in elementary school. Since then, I haven't read the books, though I wanted to. Finally this Christmas, I received the boxset, and immediately began re-reading. Now as a woman (though I still like to think of myself as a girl!), I enjoyed the book just as much. When I was a child, my imagination, my love for dramatic speaking and large words, were very akin to Anne's. It's pleasing to read about her life and realize several of the things she's done could very well have been done by me when I was younger, and the thoughts she had could very well have run through my head. I am just one of many who's been touched by these books, but how I'd have loved to reach out to Maud, to let her know just how much her books affected me. God bless you, Maud, for writing books that speak straight to my heart as if it they written for me individually...although they've touched others just the same. The magic in these beloved books is entirely too palpable.

Mozilge Toeic - New Toeic Actual Tests - Part 5, 6 Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Lim Jeongseop

Este libro te enseña cómo entender lo que sucede dentro de tu propia cabeza y la de otras personas. Aprendes cómo nos vemos atrapados en conflictos que no parecen tener sentido y nos dejan fuera de control. También aprendes que no tiene por qué ser así. El libro muestra lo contrario del "triángulo dramático" que no es más que dolor y sufrimiento. Lo contrario es "el ciclo de la compasión". Si alguna vez ha estado en un conflicto que lo dejó confundido y enojado y no tenía idea de cómo resolverlo: ¡lea este libro!
