David Shields
The Thing About Life Is That One Day You`ll Be Dead

2008 y.
Publisher: Knopf
Description: Mesmerized-at times unnerved-by his ninety-seven-year-old father`s nearly superhuman vitality and optimism, David Shields undertakes an investigation of the human physical condition. The result is this exhilarating book: both a personal meditation on mortality and an exploration of flesh-and-blood existence from crib to oblivion-an exploration that paradoxically prompts a renewed and profound appreciation of life. Shields begins with the facts of birth and childhood, expertly weaving in anecdotal information about himself and his father. As the book proceeds through adolescence, middle age, old age, he juxtaposes biological details with bits of philosophical speculation, cultural history and criticism, and quotations from a wide range of writers and thinkers-from Lucretius to Woody Allen-yielding a magical whole: the universal story of our bodily being, a tender and often hilarious portrait of one family. A book of extraordinary depth and resonance, `The ThingЕ [detailed...]

The Things That Matter: What Seven Classic Novels Have to Say About the Stages of Life

Publisher: Ч
Description: An illuminating exploration of how seven of the greatest English novels of the nineteenth and twentieth centuriesЧ Frankenstein, Wuthering Heights, Jane Eyre, Middlemarch, Mrs. Dalloway, To the Lighthouse, and Between the Acts Чportray the essential experiences of life. For Edward MendelsonЧa professor of English and comparative literature at Columbia UniversityЧthese classic novels tell life stories that are valuable to readers who are thinking about the course of their own lives. Looking beyond theories to the individual intentions of the authors and taking into consideration their lives and times, Mendelson examines the sometimes contradictory ways in which the novels portray such major passages of life as love, marriage, and parenthood. In Frankenstein Тs story of a new life, we see a searing representation of emotional neglect. In Wuthering Heights and Jane Eyre the transition from childhood to adulthood isЕ [detailed...]

In The Third Freedom, McGovern lays out a workable and affordable five-point program to end world hunger. The basic facets include these steps: The United States should take the lead within the UN in working toward a universal school lunch program. The American supplemental nutrition program for low-income women, infants, and children should go worldwide. The United Nations must establish food reserves around the globe.

There is not one Jesus, Chopra writes, but three. First, there is the historical Jesus, the man who lived more than two thousand years ago and whose teachings are the foundation of Christian theology and thought. Next there is Jesus the Son of God, who has come to embody an institutional religion with specific dogma, a priesthood, and devout believers. And finally, there is the third Jesus, the cosmic Christ, the spiritual guide whose teaching embraces all humanity, not just the church built in his name. He speaks to the individual who wants to find God as a personal experience, to attain what some might call grace, or God-consciousness, or enlightenment. When we take Jesus literally,Е [detailed...]

Harry Lime`s return from the dead in The Third Man (1949), Carol Reed`s unique thriller set in occupied Vienna, is one of the most famous scenes in all cinema.

But most people would make Maurice Wilkins very upset. The Rodney Dangerfield of biology, Wilkins shared the prize with Watson and Crick but missed out on the limelight, due largely to Watson`s hit book, The Double Helix. Wilkins thought the book was so misleading he asked Harvard University Press not to publish it. Things have quieted down a bit now, and Wilkinsis now telling the story his way. This book tells how he showed his colleagues the x-ray picture that gave them their crucial insight, and about his interactions with Rosalind Franklin, the researcher who actually created the picture, and who also received very little credit for her role in the discovery. This year marks the 50th anniversary of the DNA discovery. Finally Wilkins gets to have his say. [detailed...]

Publisher: Penguin Books Ltd., Allen Lane
Description: `The Third Reich in Power` unfolds the terrible and compelling story of the Nazi regime from the moment Hitler seized power in the summer of 1933 to the point where he plunged Europe into war. Richard J.Evans examines how it was possible for a group of ideological obsessives to remould a society famous for its sophistication and complexity into a one-party state directed at war and race hate. He shows how the Nazis won over the hearts and minds of German citizens, twisted science, religion and culture, and transformed the economy, education, law and order in their drive to achieve total dominance in German politics and society. The major events of the dictatorship - including the Night of the Long Knives, the anti-Jewish Nuremberg Laws, the Olympic Games, the pogroms, the headlong rush to war - are re-created with skill and understanding, but just as important is the author`s engagement with the myriad, smaller ways in which a whole population became enmeshed in a horrificЕ [detailed...]

Publisher: Ч
Description: Today`s women work not one but three shifts: the first from nine to five, the second at home, and the third in their minds as they review the decisions and actions of the day. While the first and second shifts may be physically exhausting, the third shift can be psychologically rending because many women use it to second-guess their motives, doubt their choices, and question their trade-offs. Michele Bolton shows women how to turn the third shift into a source of self-awareness and self-confidence instead. Drawing from a three-year study of women in Silicon Valley and her own experiences as a working mother, Bolton explores the three most important dilemmas all women face, whether they`re corporate executives, entrepreneurs, or full-time moms. She then presents women with a practical plan for facing these dilemmas, making the hard choices, and embracing their decisions. [detailed...]

His works were rescued from obscurity--in many instances, long after their creation--and introduced to the concert world. For some time the accomplishments of this Yankee renegade have been recognized as central to the American musical experience. His Third Symphony, conceived early in the twentieth century and only given its premiere in 1946, was identified by the composer himself as a pivotal effort in his compositional odyssey and, perhaps ironically, earned him the Pulitzer Prize in 1947.In this study Dr. Zobel reviews the complicated narrative of the Symphony`s composition, explains why Ives considered it a turning point between the `old ways` and theЕ [detailed...]
