`When Is Daddy Coming Home?`: An American Family during World War II

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book Description `When Is Daddy Coming Home?` is the moving story of one young American family during World War II. The war was coming to a close in Europe, and Richard Carlton Haney was only four years old when a telegram arrived at his family’s home, informing them of his father’s death. That moment was burned into the young boy’s memory and it changed his and his mother’s lives forever. Sixty years later Haney, now a professional historian, reconstructs his parents’ lives during the war, drawing from their letters, his mother’s recollections, and his own memories to create a unique blend of history and memoir. As the author recounts his father’s experiences in the 17th Airborne Division, he also recalls the effects of wartime rationing, scrap drives, and censored mail on his family at home. Richard Haney is an expert on early-twentieth-century American history and on military history…. [detailed...]

`You Can`t Enlarge the Pie`: Six Barriers to Effective Government

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Why do our government leaders continually make decisions and craft policies that everybody knows are foolish? Because they, like the rest of us, remain trapped in foolish and unproductive habits of thinking. `You Can`t Enlarge the Pie` analyzes the unspoken assumptions that lead to bad policy, wasted resources, and lost lives, and shows exactly why they`re wrong. With fascinating case studies and clear, compelling analysis, it dissects six psychological barriers to ineffective government: 1. Do no harm. 2. Their gain is our loss. 3. Competition is always good. 4. Support our group. 5. Live for the moment. 6. No pain for us, no gain for them. By freeing ourselves from the narrow way we evaluate our government leaders, wecan learn to judge their performance more as that of business leaders is judged: by the overall health of their organizations.

Description: Book Description`When my own father came down with cardiovascular problems, Dr. Fratellone was the physician I called.` --Ann Louise Gittleman, PhD., author of New York Times bestsellers Fat Flush Plan and Before the Change. Integrated Cardiologist Patrick Fratellone, M.D., has noticed an alarming trend of treating health problems with ever-new-and-evolving drugs--often without regard to potentially dangerous side effects. Studies suggest that the best way to prevent cardiovascular disease is by modifying behavior. Yet society is fixated on obtaining easy solutions, which require little or no participation by the patient. Drug therapy may provide only temporary solutions for symptomatic relief and lead to complications. In many cases, these medications are unnecessary and produce no great benefit. Instead, Dr. Fratellone focuses on using vitamins, herbs and supplements to treat and prevent disease. You`re on the Air with Dr. Fratellone… [detailed...]

Description: Anyone who has seen the film, `The Matrix,` understands `Matrix Philosophy.` Do you choose the red pill, which will answer `The Question.` Or, do you choose the blue pill which allows life to simply carry on as before? To paraphrase the words of Morpheus from the film, `…All I`m offering is the truth. Nothing more.` And what is the truth? It encompasses the meaning and the purpose of life and embraces an understanding of a greater reality. One would think that everyone would want to know Truth. But it is not quite so simple. We can`t all quite handle Truth. But that`s life! I have always had a great intellectual curiosity about Man and his universe. The big questions of the meaning and purpose of life have always been with me in some subliminal manner. But, the easier questions of life and death seemed more within my grasp. Perhaps, that is part of the reason I became a physician. So, over many years, I have become very well acquainted with both the mode of entry… [detailed...]

bnRamparts of Resistance: Why Workers Lost Their Power, and How to Get It Back

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Ramparts of Resistance examines the experience of British and US workers during the last three decades to offer a broad analysis of the need for a new independent politics of trade unionism. Recent years have seen great changes in the trade union movement, from waves of strikes in the 1970s to a battery of employer and state onslaughts, culminating in the anti-union legislation of the 1980s and 1990s. Looking at grassroots labour struggles, Cohen explores issues of reformism, trade union democracy and the political meaning of ordinary workplace resistance, and puts forward ideas for change. Ramparts of Resistance examines the failure of the union movement to rise to the neo-liberal challenge and calls for a new politics of independent unionism and an explicitly class-based renewal of `workers` power`. Coming at a time when union activity and membership involvement continues despite the odds, this book is an inspiring guide to the direction that unionism should take. [detailed...]

de Kooning: An American Master

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Willem de Kooning is one of the most important artists of the twentieth century, a true “painter’s painter” whose protean work continues to inspire many artists. In the thirties and forties, along with Arshile Gorky and Jackson Pollock, he became a key figure in the revolutionary American movement of abstract expressionism. Of all the painters in that group, he worked the longest and was the most prolific, creating powerful, startling images well into the 1980s. The first major biography of de Kooning captures both the life and work of this complex, romantic figure in American culture. Ten years in the making, and based on previously unseen letters and documents as well as on hundreds of interviews, this is a fresh, richly detailed, and masterful portrait. The young de Kooning overcame an unstable, impoverished, and often violent early family life to enter the Academie in Rotterdam, where he learned both classic art and guild techniques. Arriving in New York… [detailed...]
