This book is the best history and travel book I have ever read. If you like the McSweeney's rag and you are a fan of "This American Life", you can't miss this hilarious saga of macabre presidential roadside kitsch.

Excellent collection of essays on Anarchism. One of my first reads on the topic. Goldman has a way of stringing words together so that no only does she relay information, but poetry as well.

Ants in large numbers help keep ecosystems healthy. They are also fascinating insects in their own right. Millions of ants live around the world. They live underground, in trees, inside thorns, or in nests they build themselves. Each colony usually has a single queen with thousands of workers (always female) to gather food and take care of the larvae and pupae. Ants also provide food for other animals and aerate the earth aiding plant growth. Some ants even grow wings that allow them to fly off to start new colonies. Being a National Geographic book, the photographs in this book are gorgeous and very informative. They show ants gathering food, traveling through tunnels, and taking care of the young. The writing is appropriate for new readers with vocabulary words defined in the text in addition to the glossary at the end. The definitions in the glossary also have pictures to aid in understanding, which is a nice feature. The occasional joke adds some humor. The attractive layout makes the book easy to follow.

I cant believe how awful this book is. It is full of annoying stereotypes and its attempts at humor apparently only are funny to a rich southern woman. Ive only read about 60 pages and find myself more perturbed each page. I just read a paragraph where Leelee talked about she "loved" her husband, "because he let me have kids." What decade was this book written in? So bad I cant finish even though I paid for it

LOVE this book. A true story set in the 1920s, a group of ill-prepared survivors set off to live on a remote Arctic island for a year. They hire Ada Blackjack, and Inuit woman, to cook and make clothes for them on the journey. She is the sole survivor of the expedition. The description of the beginning of the trek is a little hard to stomach because of the way the explorers treat Ada, but the details seem true to life without romanticizing the adventure. Ada's strength is apparent at the end of the ordeal. The book is written largely from recovered journal entries from the explorers and Ada. The pictures included in the book are unbelievable, and make you feel as if you personally know each member of the ill-fated party. This is an engrossing tale of survival, not just in the Arctic, but also in the social aftermath when Ada returns to a foreign culture. Most interesting real detail: They bring an expedition cat, "Vic," with them, who also survives.

This is a great book to get an overall sense of the feminist movement. It reads like a history book of the 20th century. The style is easy and loaded with examples and quotes. It's a good book to read if you want to put numbers and examples on vague ideas. I will probably use some of the examples in the book in future personal conversations. It covers the suffragist movement and the change that lead to the 'second-wave': After 1930, both interracial and interfaith cooperation found a foothold within the US women's movement. First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt's gradual rejection of the racism and anti-Semitism she hadl earned growing up foreshadowed a later trend. The tentative connections made across race and religious lines would nurture the rebirth of feminism in the 1960s. As in the past, African American women in particular provided a critical perspective for white women, alerting them to the integral connections between race and gender. By articulating their personal experience of race, African American women contributed the knowledge that enfranchisement alone could not ensure equality; that the female pedestal was a myth; that sexual stereotypes, whether of purity or immorality, exerted forceful social controls; that power relations always rested upon both race and gender hierarchies; and that dignified resistance in the face of seeming powerlessness could be a mighty weapon for change. p.83 It provides good statistics: In 1800 a married woman in the US could expect to live to around age forty and bear more than seven children. In 1900 her great-granddaughter lived into her fifties and had only four children. By 2000 that woman's great-granddaughter could expect to live to age eighty but would bear only two children. Over each century, women's reproductive labors dropped by half while their life span expanded. As a result, married women now have many more years without child-care duties. Although the dates differ for other industrial countries, the direction of change is the same. Since 1900 birth rates have fallen while life expectancy and women's wage labor have increased throughout the industrial world. In the US and Japan, for example, over half of all married women now work for pay. In Sweden over 80 percent of married women earned wages in the 1980s, compared with just under hald in the 1960s. p.152 Some notes: - The right to vote did not give women the break they expected as women broke along party lines - The way we calculate GDP does not take into account domestic work - Sweden is a good role model for gender equality and scores better than most of best when it comes to parental leave laws, the sharing of household duties, and number of women elected to office - Male domination dates way back: .When men understood how reproduction happens, they tried to isolate their woman so that they could be sure which child was theirs .When a society adopted the plough, agriculture became more physical and men became the breadwinners .Where having children meant that the family would have a bigger workforce, the women could be treated as factories (with dowries and such) .Birth control/contraception/pro-choice laws helped a great deal to empower women
