Davulların Hakimi +Mp3 Bilge Candan TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından: İmecemuzik

I really like this book as it was my first exposure to the BDB series. Ironically it can be read as a stand alone from the rest of the series. Revh is also ironically enough not a part of the brotherhood which endeared me to him even more. Gotta love the rebel that goes against the expectations of the establishment. I'd highly recommend this book.

Cemile Annemle Babam Kızmamış - Aline De Petingy TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından: Kaknüs Yayınları

I only made it through 2 chapters, but I feel compelled to bring down the rating. For a book dealing with the movement of food, published in 2007, marketed as following in the tradition of Kurlansky and Pollan, I'd call this not just irrelevant but irresponsible. The writing and research are uneven. There is little compelling history or food writing. Confusingly, I found no attempt to address any of the current hot topics surrounding hyper food mobility - local eating/food safety/public health/oil/sustainability. And when the author did venture into political territory, it was to spout all kinds of tangential conservative talking points about free trade, market creation, and cheap consumer goods!! Get off my bookshelf! It's hard to think of a topic less obviously related to sweeping changes in global culture. And yet... I spent the whole first chapter on the Roman olive oil trade squinting for any context, let alone deep or insightful analysis. Finally my jaw dropped at this.. "While oil merchants talked money in the Square of Guilds, these slaves were out on the docks, their backs glistening with beads of sweat as they unloaded pot after pot of olive oil beneath the fiery Italian sun. And those pots were extremely heavy. An amphora weighed about sixty-six pounds when empty. When full, carrying about six gallons, it weighed more than double that. For the slaves, then, the amphora was a heavy burden. For the men and donkeys lugging broken shards up the slopes of Monte Testaccio, the amphora was a chore. But for the olive merchants of Baetica, it was something quite different - an extraordinarily efficient ceramic vessel at the heart of an international trade that thrived many centuries before the word globalization had been coined." OK. Did she just casually mention that the entire system was based on SLAVE LABOR and then CASUALLY BRUSH IT OFF in favor of the TRADE BENEFITS?? Also, does she have ANY IDEA what globalization IS? Also, is she extremely preoccupied with innovations in the technology of food transportation containers? The answer, unfortunately, is YES. I persevered for one more chapter, on the modern use of standardized shipping containers. Specifically, the refrigerated ones used to send fish from American fisheries to China in giant tankers. Where women make nothing doing the dirty work of prepping the fish and then ship them BACK to the American consumer, months later. Naturally, the author thinks this is a FABULOUS idea! At least she addresses one of the social consequences full on. Well, she quotes Dickens and carries on about how grand it is to eliminate the dirty back-breaking labor of the dock workers. But, wait for it... "The container has arguably been one of history's greatest agents of change - and not just for the 'wharfies' who lost their jobs. Containers brought consumers new and exciting goods from remote places... Americans and Europeans could acquire cheap television sets and washing machines. Rattan furniture became fashionable. People bought things they previously would have never dreamed of possessing as the container helped foster the consumer revolution." Yay for buying shit we don't need! Yay for more random container technology! (And, oops, did I just let slip that this system is super susceptible to terrorism? Don't worry, we're throwing lots of money at a technological solution! Military-industrial complex to the rescue!) She makes ZERO mention of the environmental/health costs of pointlessly shipping the fish around the world. She also claims that consumers just aren't interested in the human rights violations of the fish-boning women abroad! And even if they were... "Globalization has side effects that are harsh - whether for poorly treated workers on one side of the world or those who have lost their job on the other... Yet these are problems best addressed on land, through retraining programs, financial safety nets, and tough measures to prevent labor abuses. They are not reasons for halting the passage across the ocean of traveling T-shirts or moveable feasts." Ah yes, government gets to clean up the mess, but how dare they regulate. Thank you for THAT old song and dance. Because we aren't hearing it enough these days. Then the chapter veers into a rather incoherent rant against critics of globalization, complete with a litany of torn-from-the-decade-old-headlines examples of violent protests by misguided peasants and anarchists. Did you know that developing nations and protesters are hypocrites and corporations their victims? Poor Nike, etc. I barely paraphrase. This is about where I threw the book down with disgust, drawing stares from my fellow Southwest passengers. Dude. Publish your right-wing agendas to your heart's content, but why bother to hide it in a book masquerading as something relevant to the current discussion of food politics? How can this be the same Sarah Murray that apparently blogs about sustainability for the Huffington Post????

The story got a little sexy as Nora likes to get but the story line was really cool and very suspenseful. I really had no idea who the villain was until the end of the book. I wanted to live in Montana on a ranch after reading this--and I don't like animals or snow.

I mistakenly got the impression that Cloud Atlas was about someone's sailing trip, so I was reluctant to read it. While, travel across the ocean plays an important part of the story(ies), I could not have been more wrong about the subject matter of the book. The theme of this book is the development of a character's ethic through a device that at once mystical, symbolic, structured and unique. I cannot emphasize enough how original this story is. Some have compared it to Byatt's Possession or Robinson's Year's of Rice and Salt. I admit the similarities. However, the parallels are much more complex, clever, fascinating. Mitchell not only build six separate stories-within-stories, but does so using different genres of writing. There are twists one does not expect. Each story inspires the next in a way that is deeply satisfying. For me, this novel gains a place of the shelf next to Master and Margarita as a truly original, deeply meaningful work of beauty. My only comment is that reviewers should just stop using the metaphor that the book is a series of nested dolls. Please, is it possible you could use a metaphor the author himself doesn't use? Please. Read this book. It's a work of beauty.

Love Alice's writing but this story upset me that no remorse, family destroyed no justice. No "happy ending". Very different that the movie.

I think it might be the best of the series...or at the very least second best after "Dark Lover" which of course started it all. Rehvenge's story is simply yummy. The spider thing got a little weird, but then, sympaths are supposed to be weird. I have a renewed energy in the series (not that it was dimming much - just a smidge).

Değerler Eğitimi Serisi 2: Portakal Miyavladı - Koray Avcı Çakman TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından: Kırmızı Kedi Yayınevi

This book is something different. Nouwen has a way of writing that can make the most difficult thing easy for anyone to read. The book was based off of three guidelines to living a devout Christian life; solitude, silence and prayer. You cannot have one without the other. Within this solitude and silence, we encounter God in such a way that the old man leaves and the attitude of Christ takes it's place. Through this, we experience prayer. Prayer is something that draws us closer to God by simply saying and meditating over a certain phrase or word. Thank you Henri Nouwen... great book.
