Mặt Nạ Tử Thần Đỏ Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Nhiều Tác Giả

I would definitely recommend this as an alternative to Wheelan's Naked Economics. McMillan's main point is that markets are tools; and like all tools, they can have better and poorer designs, and can be used well or less well to achieve their end. They are socially constructed. He critiques both Ayn Rand-style conservatives and libertarians whose faith in markets endows them with some moral purposes and those on the left with similarly religious tenets that markets are evil. I think there are still plenty of assumptions that McMillan makes with which I disagree. Like too many economists, he sees growth as an imperative, and no thoughts about ecology or sustainable natural resource use interrupt this. And I strongly disliked his tendency to regard people as consumers first and citizens second. Still, he seems to have considered a wide range of viewpoints, and comes to some interesting conclusions about when strong property rights are effective and when they are not. (He argues that they intellectual property rights in the U.S. have become counterproductive; and that for some goods, like AIDS drugs, new legal mechanisms need to be adopted to ensure their necessary distribution.)

It was just an OK read,maybe if Naomi could have made up her mind about which guy she wanted before almost the end of the book it would have been a better read.

For this series, this was pretty good. Nice character development, good movement on the relationships and you found more background on the other townspeople. I'm still Team Mike all the way, though.

To Understand English - Lớp 1 (Kèm 1 CD) Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Joanna LE MAY

The poetry of Kahlil Gribran is beautiful, rich, wise, and insightful. Some passages that I particularly liked: On Work: "Work is love made visible. And if you cannot work with love but only with distaste,it is better that you should leave your work and sit at the gate of the temple and take alms of those who work with joy. For is you bake bread with indifference, you bake a bitter bread that feeds but half man's hunger." On Joy and Sorrow: "Is not the cup that holds your wine the very cup that was burned in the potter's oven? And is not the lute that soothes your spirit, the very wood that was hollowed with knives? When you are joyous, look deep into your heart and you shall find it is only that which has given you sorrow that is giving you joy." Finally, on Teaching: "No man can reveal to you aught but that which already lies half asleep in the dawning of your knowledge. The teacher who walks in the shadow of the temple, among his followers, gives not of his wisdom, but rather of his faith and his lovingness. If he is indeed wise he does not bid you enter the house of his wisdom, but rather leads you to the threshold of your own mind. The astronomer may speak to you of his understanding of space, but he cannot give you his understanding. The musician may sing to you of the rhythm which is in all space, but he cannot give you the ear which arrests the rhythm nor the voice that echoes it... For the vision of one man lends not its wings to another man. And even as each one of you stands alone in God's knowledge, so must each one of you be alone in his knowledge of God and in his understanding of the earth."

Xa Xóm Mũi (Tái Bản 2016) Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Nguyễn Ngọc Tư

This book is excellent. Probably one of my favorite books of all time. Jane Eyre is a multi-faceted story of an orphan girl brought up by her horrible aunt and terribly mistreated by her cousin. Jane is described as a painfully ordinary looking girl with pale skin and sunk-in eyes. She suffers at the hands of people who think her to be lower than a dog in the status of society. She is sent away to school. Her journey through life continues, as an adult she is more in control of her destiny and comes out in the end a very morally sound woman. This is just a skeletal review there are so many interesting parts to the book but I don't want to spoil it. Its a wonderful read but its even MORE wonderful with illustrations.

Pi was a fun, non-serious journey. The ending definitely did not deliver the promise of the first hundred pages but it was a great experience.
