Considering all the hype and my general snobbishness about prose, I thought I would detest this book, but two summers ago, I read the entire thing start-to-finish in the Park Slope Barnes and Noble. Standing up. I didn't buy the book, and I can barely remember it, but I know that I did like it. I don't know what else to say.

I liked this book a lot, and while I expected it to be a little dry and wonky it wasn't. There are two particularly interesting themes to the book: one is that there is something inherently absurd about nuclear weapons. You can't talk about the logic of nuclear arsenals without it all turning very Strangeloveian. Rosenbaum focuses in particular on the deterrence paradox, where once you're already doomed, retaliating is just pointless mass murder, and yet if you acknowledge that fact you undermine your deterrent credibility and make your doom more likely. The other big theme: Israel and Iran are a big problem! And we're probably all going to die in a nuclear war over a piece of land the size of New Jersey. So that part is fun.

Review: April 2007 A Brief Note on Anthropological Determinism Most people, I really should stress the very few people, that have actually read Todd take him to be something of an anthropological determinist. But this is not entirely true. For instance, Todd, in writing of Anglo-Saxon individualism (the Absolute Nuclear Family) says: "An egalitarian culture seeks equality between peoples. An inegalitarian culture tends to decree them superior or inferior. The absolute nuclear family is vague in its choices, a hypothesis confirmed by the history of the Anglo-Saxon world which has never aligned itself either with Russian and French universalism or with the German cult of difference. (p. 130)" After discussing two 'choices' that were made by the 'Anglo-Saxons' -by choice Todd here means that the direction taken was not anthropologically determined- Todd says: "Anglo-Saxon universalism is not a 'natural' tendency, as in France or Russia, and is not determined by a clear anthropological structure. It results from a conscious effort to recognize the equality of others. (p. 131)" The two choices Todd was speaking of (pages 130-131) are the American Civil War and the Second World War. Anthropologically speaking, or so Todd maintains, Anglo-Saxon culture had no reason to prefer either universalism or particularity. In both these cases it chose universalism. Anthropology is not destiny; but I would add that this 'freedom' comes at a price. Any course of action freely chosen can later be freely repudiated... The anthropological structure, by the way, that gives the Anglo-Saxon world such flexibility is its indifference to inheritance rules. There is neither the universal solidarity engendered by egalitarian inheritance rules nor the particularism caused by rules that foster inequality between brothers, that is, the transfer of patrimony to one son. Curiously, the only other anthropological family that displays this indifference is what Todd calls the "Anomic Family", which is centered in south-east Asia. Since this book is not readily available I include the Table of Contents (to my 1988 paperback edition): Preface to the English Edition, vii; Maps viii; Introduction: democracy and anthropology, 1; 1. The Seven Families, 19; 2. Community, 33; 3. Authority, 55; 4. The two forms of individualism, 99; 5. Endogamy, 133; 6. Asymmetry, 155; 7. Anomie, 171; 8. African Systems, 191; Conclusion, 196; Bibliography, 200; Index, 226; -------------------------------------------------- Review: September 2004 An Anthropological Explanation of Ideology? An amazing book that is, unfortunately, very difficult to find. Todd provides an anthropological definition of family structures and shows how many ideological structures have mapped, with remarkable precision, to certain family structures. There are seven definable family types, which are defined by attitudes towards spouse selection, attitudes towards symmetry in family/social (inheritance & law) relations, and attitudes towards whether married children can live at home. Spouse selection within these families can be decided by custom - usually the preference is cousins - or parents, or the two getting married are free to decide. Laws of inheritance can be egalitarian, non-egalitarian or indifferent. That is the inheritance is either divided equally between all - in practice this usually means all sons, or divided unequally - one son only receives the patrimony, or any which way you please. These family types are defined as follows: 1. Absolute Nuclear Family: a. Spouse selection: Free, but obligatory exogamy. b. Inheritance: Indifference - no precise rules, frequent use of wills. c. Family Home: no cohabitation of married children with their parents. d. Representative Nations, Peoples, Regions: Anglo-Saxon world, Holland, Denmark. e. Representative Ideology: Christianity, Capitalism, `Libertarian' Liberalism, and Feminism. 2. Egalitarian Nuclear Family: a. Spouse selection: Free, but obligatory exogamy. b. Inheritance: Egalitarian - equality between brothers. c. Family Home: no cohabitation of married children with their parents. d. Representative Nations, Regions: northern France, northern Italy, central & southern Spain, central Portugal, Greece, Romania, Poland, Latin America, Ethiopia. e. Representative Ideology: Christianity (Catholicism); the "Liberte, Egalite, Fraternite" form of Liberalism. 3. Authoritarian Family: a. Spouse selection: Parents, little or no marriage between children of brothers. b. Inheritance: Anti-Egalitarian - inequality between brothers, transfer of patrimony to one son. c. Family Home: cohabitation of the married heir with his parents. d. Representative Nations, Peoples, Regions: Germany, Austria, Sweden, Norway, Belgium, Bohemia, Scotland, Ireland, peripheral regions of France, northern (Basque) Spain, northern Portugal, Japan, Korea, Jews, Romany Gypsies. e. Representative Ideology: Fascism, various separatist and autonomous (anti-universalist) movements. 4: Exogamous Community Family: a. Spouse selection: Parents, no marriage between the children of two brothers. b. Inheritance: Egalitarian - equality between brothers. c. Family Home: cohabitation of married sons with their parents. d. Representative Nations, Regions: Russia, Yugoslavia, Slovakia, Bulgaria, Hungary, Finland, Albania, central Italy, China, Vietnam, Cuba and north India. e. Representative Ideology: Communism, Socialism. 5. Endogamous Community Family: a. Spouse selection: Custom, frequent marriage between the children of brothers. b. Inheritance: Egalitarian - equality between brothers. c. Family Home: cohabitation of married sons with their parents. d. Representative Nations, Peoples, Regions: Arab world, Turkey, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Tadzhikistan. e. Representative Ideology: Islam. 6. Asymmetrical Community Family: a. Spouse selection: Custom, prohibition on marriages between the children of brothers, but a preference for marriages between the children of brothers and sisters. b. Inheritance: Egalitarian - equality between brothers. c. Family Home: cohabitation of married sons with their parents. d. Representative Regions: southern India. e. Representative Ideology: 7: Anomic Family: a. Spouse selection: Free, but without obligatory exogamy; consanguine marriage possible and sometimes frequent. b. Inheritance: Indifference - uncertainty about equality between brothers, inheritance rules egalitarian in theory but uncertain in practice. c. Family Home: cohabitation of married children with parents rejected in theory but accepted in practice. d. Representative Nations, Peoples, Regions: e. Representative Ideology: Buddhism, Christianity, and Communism, but potentially anything. This translation dates from 1985 though it was published earlier in that decade in France. He predicts the fall of the Soviet Union because the satellite states (like Poland) and internal (Moslem) `satellite states' will prove non-absorbable. He also predicts that the USA + Islam were heading towards conflict because of, in large part, Anglo-Saxon feminism. The predictive power of this anthropological approach is also visible in the deep anti-universalism of the authoritarian family. The gypsies, for instance, refuse to be absorbed by other cultures even though they have no identifiable ideological commitments. Naturally, in this short note I cannot bring out all the insights, originality and subtlety of the text, though he does leave the impression that family structure can explain everything - it can't. ...Still, this text is well worth hunting down.

How to rate a book with such fantastic poetry in it that is so poorly made? The editors of this book did a real disservice to Frank, including everything in a disorganized hodge podge jumble. He deserved better.

This is one of my all-time favorite books. It's slow, it's heart-breakingly romantic, and it was perfectly timed for me. I read it my senior year of college, when I'd been with my boyfriend for nearly two years, and I was getting so tired of reading books about people falling in love. Me! I like most of the things I like because of the love stories involved, and I was getting tire of reading and watching and hearing about people falling in love. I wanted something about people STAYING in love, and man, this delivered. The premise throws some people. Henry spontaneously time travels. He can't stop it, he can't do it intentionally. And his wife has loved him since she was six, though he first met her when she was in college. They have their problems--it's not easy, living every day, terrified that your husband is going to travel right right in front of a semi five years ago, you know? But it is romantic, and I love the characters.

Well, despite all the hoopla about who the author really is, this is a really well-written book about a boy who is perceived as a girl, abused as a girl, and often identifies as a girl. It is written in nonlinear, stream-of-consciousness format which makes it very compelling. it kind of sucks you in. Personally, I don't care whether the author is transgendered or not. Personally, I don't care whether the author survived horrific abuse or not. The back of the cover lists this book as fiction. As a work of fiction it is pretty damn good.
