Cinsellik Üzerine - Sigmund Freud TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından: Tutku Yayınevi

I swear I had some notes I wanted to use for this review, but I can't find them now and will have to do this from memory, making my observations pretty limited. In short, I had mixed feelings about this book. Some of Glassner's points are obvious (the media sensationalizes, or even invents, many threats), some are thought-provoking items that have changed the way I thought, and in some cases I thought Glassner was being unnecessarily uncharitable towards the public's "fear" of certain phenomenons. It is worth noting that this book was published in 1999, thus predating the amazing "politics of fear" that dominated national discourse throughout the Bush presidency. Nonetheless, many of the trends and topics that Glassner examines remain relevent. The book also makes a brief appearance in the Michael Moore documentary Bowling for Columbine. Of particular interest are the chapters entitled Monster Moms, dealing with teenage pregnancy, and Metaphoric Illnesses, dealing with imagined physical maladies that in some form represent a larger societal criticism (he suggests Gulf War Syndrome as a key example of this kind of illness). On teenage mothers, I underlined this passage: "Ignorance about contraception, psychopathology, desire to prove adulthood, lack of family restraint, cultural patterns, desire to obtain welfare benefits, immorality, getting out of school--a host of reasons are given for childbirth in women under 20, while 'maternal instinct' is thought to suffice for those over 20." In general, he makes a convincing case that teen pregnancy is a dramatically overstated problem and the outcomes of teen pregnancy much less dire than news stories often suggest. Children of teen mothers do as well as other children from the same income level in school. Turns out I wasn't really thinking much about this issue and had just internalized the kind of stories I heard about teen motherhood as I was growing up. But the other side of the coin is Glassner's critque of dangers such as plane crashes. Maybe I just take offense to this because I don't much care for flying, but Glassner spends a whole chapter telling us what we already know--that flying is statistically very safe. Nonetheless, people are still drawn to stories about planes crashing or possible deficiencies in FAA safety rules. Just because I might want to watch a news segment about the FAA doesn't mean I am so incredibly concerned that I won't get on an airplane--but if threats to my person from flying can be even further reduced from their already low levels--well, why shouldn't I care about that? Just because airplane crashes affect a small number of people doesn't mean that it wouldn't be better for them to effect a still smaller number of people. This is a good book, but not one that will shift many people's paradigms. It's dated now, but still a breezy and somewhat nostolgic read for those that remember the fake scares of the 1990s.

Catholic theology? An illicit affair between a teacher and a student? A very sarcastic narrator? What's not to love here?

Dikkati Güçlendirme Seti Plus 6 Yaş Kitap (3 Kitap) - Osman Abalı TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından: Adeda Yayıncılık

The back flap of this book said the author was paying homage to the books of C.S. Lewis, T.H. White, and J. K. Rowling. I'd stick to reading their books instead of this one. I had to force myself to finish the story.

I have read two books by this author and she is quickly joining the ranks of my favorites. Something about the blend of magic, real and just quirky makes this one such a charmer.

Delta Resimli İngilizce Dil Kartları (6. Sınıf) - Başak Bengier TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından: Delta Kültür Yayınevi

I highly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in the role of the Holy Spirit in the Christian walk. A.W. Tozer dishes out some meaty substance in his writing. For example: "I want here boldly to assert that it is my happy belief that every Christian can have a copious outpouring of the Holy Spirit in a measure far beyond that received at conversion, and I might also say, far beyond that enjoyed by the rank and file of the orthodox believers today... The Spirit in-dwelt life is not a special deluxe edition of Christianity to be enjoyed by a certain rare and privileged few who happen to be made of finer and more sensitive stuff than the rest. Rather, it is the normal state for every redeemed man and woman the world over." SOLID...

If you don't want to be incredibly frustrated, pissed off, and feel hopeless about humanity today, don't read this book. It's a compelling read about the case and the history and police politics behind Adam Walsh's disappearance in the 80s. I guarantee you that it will make your stomach churn at times, hug your babies tighter, and want to fly down to FL and kick some ass.

Liked this one much better than the first book...it's definitely an erotic romance...had a lot of sex... but i didn't think it was quite as much or as over the top as The Perfect Play...thought it had more story, more emotion and more romance. Am looking forward to their sister's book! :)
