Dạy Trẻ Có Tinh Thần Tự Lập Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Dương Vũ

Very engaging, easy read. I read it in a few hours. Kind of improbable story line and a little far fetched, but interesting and a good story.

Sói Già Phố Wall (Phần 1) - Tái Bản Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi:

Now that I've had a week to think about what was said at the book group about this book, I feel like I've clarified some things. I think the book had some interesting things to say about how intellectuals and non-intellectuals view the world. Smith can definitely see benefits to both sides, but she tended to skew the intellectuals toward the Major Fuck Up category. And she also tended to use the physically beautiful characters in this book as guinea pigs of behavior. Some of the pretty ones had good heads on their shoulders and had foresight and some were using their beauty as manipulation to get what they thought they wanted, but it seemed all of the character's motives revolved around the beautiful people. Smith seemed to have an appreciation for the people who live day to day, who take life as it comes and not to over-think and muddle through issues. The book had incredible characters, but if you've read Smith before you probably were expecting to meet people like Kiki, Vee & Carl. I was disappointed in how she used Monty Kipps as a stereotypical evil republican henchman, ruler of his domain, inflexible & iron-fisted. He could have been more developed, especially as he relates to his wife, and not this symbol of intellectual conservatism. We saw his strong opinions but not what was backing up all of these ideas. I did like discovering how more and more the author found similarities between the two families mother and father-heads, even though their backgrounds were quite varied. She also got the differing views of each character through the eyes of other character's perspective dead on. It was amazing how she framed each of the Belsey's opinions of Howard. And even pulled in a student's views from the first person POV (several pages in the book that I reeled from at first because it just didn't seem to fit) to give the reader a sense of Howard's complete denial of anything beautiful for beauty's sake. It was such an epiphany sitting in the book group and having the group think through how important that interaction is to Smith's point, another big theme in the group: significance of the title. Howard pinned between a struggling student with similar views as himself wanting his attention and the beautiful Vee walking by and smiling; interesting which person he picks to talk to and which he chooses to blow off. Perfect book for a book group. Great book just to read. Zadie Smith is one of my faves.

Crisis of Character Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Gary J. Byrne

Do we know what we're doing to our future selves by saving a permanent record of our digital memories, conversations and information to hard drives and the internet? Is it even our own choice to do so anymore? The author brings up some provocative ideas- about the digital age bringing a significant change to how we use 'external storage devices' (books being an older form) to extend our own faulty animal capacities to remember. One scenario describes us forming our own surveillance network, not only in space but through time - what he calls a "temporal panopticon", based on that prison designed by Jeremy Bentham to give prisoners the feeling of being under constant surveillance, encouraging them to always keep their behaviour in check. Things that would have once been forgotten (a drunken Facebook photo) come back to haunt our future selves in ways we couldn't have predicted, so we end up self-censoring, putting on our best digital public face just in case. This sounds slightly paranoid and perhaps we must all just learn how to become more candid, or learn how to read digital material with more caution (maybe cultivate a shared sense that people change over time even if their documents don't). I like a lot of the ideas in the book, though I feel the author could have found more convincing real-life examples of the possible dangers of sharing information. Also, the way he sums up of the points made in conclusions at the end of each chapter felt a bit tiresome, reading like a student essay at times, or a powerpoint presentation. I did come away re-thinking how much control we have over what we are doing on the internet though. It might be easy to say "well, I have nothing to hide, so who cares?" until all of the information collected and shared by companies over your lifetime are used by future public/private organisations to affect your pension, your access to health coverage or insurance, etc. The idea of having to defend your own life memory against a (more trusted?) digital memory of your life - this might turn out to be more of a concern than just ending up on a junk-mailing list we didn't sign up for.

Bài Tập Bổ Trợ Kỹ Năng Viết Tiếng Anh Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Linh Đan

I was ultimately disappointed in this book. I have been reading a lot of King lately, and specifically have been reading the books linked to the Dark Tower. This starts well but gets dry after about 150 pages. I think the characters are well-developed but nothing is really done with them--and the most interesting character, Flagg, disappears for much of the last third of the book. It took me a while to read it because I just lost interest, and more or less skimmed the last 100 pages or so. Good start, bad middle, okay finish.
