2008 STRIVING FOR ÜDS - FEN BİLİMLERİ TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından: Art Basın Yayın Hizmetleri

Have to admit that I love reading company histories like this. I know, it is odd, but I find them fascinating. Can't read them all in one sitting though, so they usually take a while. You would really have to be a corporate history buff and probably trolley / streetcar fan to read this one, but I am both. So it works! Highly recommended if corporate history, rail history, or trolleys are your thing.

Otostopçunun Galaksi Rehberi (Ciltli) - Douglas Adams TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından: Alfa Yayınları

I would give this one six stars out of five if it were possible. I have been waiting a couple of days after finishing this to write my review to see if any of the emotions it stirred up began to lose their power. If anything, they have only intensified. Physically and emotionally draining, this tells the harrowing story of a female soldier deployed to Iraq in the early days of the second Gulf war. Not only does she have to adjust to the fact that the enemy wants to hurt her, but she also has to deal with the men in her company who see her merely as a sexual object and a command structure designed to protect the good ol' boys network. One could overlook the outrageous actions of her so-called comrades if one could believe this was entirely a work of fiction, but these stories were culled from interviews with returning soldiers, women, who had served there. The whole thing rings with an air of sincerity that cannot be created out of whole cloth. I can only hope my nephew who recently returned from Afghanistan behaved more like the one man in her unit who befriended her than like the other grunts. My heart broke for her, even as I found myself wanting to hurt someone for getting us involved in this evil that is war. The way the story was presented, as a first-person account from the soldier, a parallel narrative of an Iraqi woman searching for news of her father and younger brother who were arrested during a sweep, and interspersed with a third-person tale of a soldier in a psychiatric facility dealing with her PSTD, was especially effective. The story also carried a deeper impact as our local newspaper this week carried a story of an Iraq war veteran who has returned home from his third deployment with a traumatic brain injury and his difficulties in getting treatment and with just returning to a life that is forever changed. The article claimed that one out of five returning soldiers suffers from traumatic brain injury or some form of post traumatic stress. The cost of this war goes far beyond the billions of dollars that have been wasted.

This is a classic! I watched the Ralph Bakshi and Rankin/Bass animated adaptations before reading this. The book of course gives far more depth than any adaptations made. I fell in love with Tolkien's works thereafter. Anyways, about the book . . . I am currently reading this aloud to my 3 1/2 month old son, and have found myself stunned again by the vivid imagery and depth to the story. The Old Forest is alive in a new way as I vocalize the sights and sounds that Frodo, Merry, Pippin and Sam experience. The most heartbreaking scene is when Gandalf is taken by the Balrog in Moria. I remember when I read that for the first time and feeling a sense of betrayal and loss, for Gandalf was my favorite character. So wise beyond measure, and with age that is numbered beyond years, and so full of love and terrible wrath.

I'm reading this for school. I like it because it reminds me of Dancing Through the Snow.

This book was definitely original. The character was somewhat interesting but I found the book a little repetitive and boring. It's worth reading, but it was not one of my favorites. It's very creative.

This was definitely a little difficult to get through with all the characters involved, but a very enlightening read on the origins of the radical Islamic movement and the men involved in these terrorist groups. Also provides great details on how the US gov't agencies (CIA, FBI, etc). allowed politics to get in the way of discovering the 9/11 plan.

Tethys: 4 Parçalı Yapboz TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından: Tethys

As a Go player who knew the rules and not much else before opening this book, I found Kim's work extremely valuable. I came out with a working understanding of the purpose and structure of Go's opening, midgame, and endgame, as well as what kind of moves achieve the objectives of each phase. Especially helpful was the titular Way of the Moving Horse: thinking about positions in terms of the connections between stones. This book certainly did not enable me, a novice, to follow every move of a subtle game between 5-dan players, but it helped me see the contours: what each side was driving at and how they played to achieve it. I finally feel like I'm gaining the foundation I need to learn Go by playing Go, something hard to do without instruction.

Karanlık Sırlar - Sarah Maclean TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından: Nemesis Kitap

Unfamiliar Fishes is Sarah Vowell's take on the history of Hawaii. Vowell recounts the unraveling of the warrior kings, the arrival of the first missionaries, and all the way up to the end of the Hawaiian nation when Queen Liliuokalani was removed from her throne, the provisional government was established and Sanford Dole became president of the Republic of Hawaii. Then the country was annexed by the US. It is supposed to be the story of how we imported "our favorite religion, capitalism, and our second-favorite religion, Christianity." This passage really stuck with me, and carried me through the book. The idea of Hawaii as a sort of canary in the coal mine of American imperialism and conquest drew me through the pages. I wanted point, evidence, counterpoint to support this narrative. This quote is from the second page. I started looking into Hawaii's bit part in the epic of American global domination. I came across a political cartoon on the cover of Harper's Weekly from August 27, 1898. Above the caption, "Uncle Sam's New Class in the Art of Self-Government," Uncle Sam poses as a schoolmaster in a classroom festooned with a world map in which little American flags are planted on the barely visible island dots of Guam, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Cuba & the Philippines. A barefoot, frowning boy wearing a dunce cap labeled "Aguinaldo" represents the Filipino revolutionary who began the Spanish-American War as an American ally against Spain; but after Spain surrendered and handed over the Phillipines to the United States, Aguinaldo led the guerilla war against his new American colonizers. Uncle Sam is trying to break up a fight between two other barefoot boys, one wearing a satchel marked "Cuban Ex-Patriot" and the other a belt marked "Guerilla" meant to symbolize the unruly discontentment of Cuban freedom fighers also dismayed that their American allies in the fight against Spain for Cuba libre had just become their new colonial overlord. Meanwhile, off to the side, two good little girls, their headdresses identifying them as "Hawaii" and "Porto Rico," have their noses in the books they are quietly reading. Presumably because well-behaved Hawaii & Puerto Rico have politely and graciously accepted the blessings of annexation without any back talk. See? That's good. But the book gets caught up in churchy Puritans and fails in what I wanted/expected. There are several references to Barack Obama, America's first Plate Lunch President. It seems pretty obvious that Obama is an important factor in both the writing and the reading of this book, but I'll say it anyway. He's the cultural touchstone that lends this book relevancy. Sarah Vowell is a polarizing author and you usually love her or hate her. Generally I appreciate her work. But this book fell short on several things I love about her writing. Despite her meticulous research and humor, something is missing. Vowell has a nuanced understanding of the political, cultural, economic, religious and contradictory events of Hawaiian history, but there is no counterpoint to the elimination of the culture & ethnicity of the islands. There is no silver lining. What good came from this? Where is the justifiable outrage? Instead, you get a sort of grumbling, complacent indignation. Even the trademark snarky humor serves to turn atrocities into punch lines instead of skewering the perpetrators. The white people who handed over the nation to the US may have been morally bankrupt and motivated by greed, but they were not, in the strictest sense, doing anything illegal. They didn't break the law, Sarah Vowell tells us, because they wrote the law themselves. And maybe that's just how it had to go, after the Hawaiians gave up taro cultivation, the monarchy and the hula. They got a written language. Besides, the Puritans had lived there for generations, so they were Hawaiian too. That was so totally not the conclusion I thought we were going to come to. Ultimately, this book could have been a lot of things, but it just wasn't. Above all, I read Sarah Vowell for fun in my free time, as nerdy as that sounds, and this book most certainly was not fun to read.
