Loved this book, and the cover art just got me more excited, trying to imagine how the scene came about before reading!

An interesting discussion maker re: roles of women in the 1950s in tribal Iraq and the US. I also appreciated that it is a book about lives in Iraq that are several decades removed from the current war and requisite politics.

This is a 3 1/2. The writing is at least a 4, but right after reading The Glass Castle with its shock factor on nearly every page, I found the memories and stories to be very mundane, and therefore a 3, (as I wouldn't say I *really* liked it.) But that is what this book is supposed to be: a perfect example of a perfect childhood in the perfect 50's. The author goes from about age 6 when her father teaches her how to keep track of baseball in her little score books. It is a great story what life was like for a Dodger's fan in the NY suburbs. The history was nicely woven throughout, and the culture and life at that time was easy to feel from her writing.

A very sweet love story. Learned some interesting information about the internment of the Japanese during WWII in Washington State.

Inspiring book, written by a Nobel laureate in economics. About the interactions of economics, politics, rights, and freedoms - if you've ever been interested in the developing world, read this book. It makes the future of the 3rd world look a little less certainly grim.

A good read. Nice history of the evolution of business principles. Unfortunately limited by the realities of socialized workplace. Would work best in places with great leadership and motivated team. Great section on what would be determinants of failed projects.. I kinda wish I'd skipped to the end and read this section as I would have had a lot less admin heartaches. Good intro to principles

To relieve the boredom of allied personnel stationed in Dutch New Guinea during the waning days of World War II, their commander arranges to have some of them flown with him over an interior section variously known as Hidden Valley or Shangri-La to observe primitive tribal life from the air. But the plane crashes, with just five aboard -- two men and three women -- initially surviving. Two of the women die from their injuries, leaving three survivors in jungle so dense there's no hope of being spotted from the air. Although two of the three are seriously injured, they painstakingly work their way to a clearing where it's possible to see them and drop supplies their way. This is also where they first encounter the natives who they assume to be headhunters. Although this assumption is not entirely unfounded, the natives conclude that these strange visitors are spirits and choose to treat them with compassion and friendliness. But there is no airstrip, helicopters of the day can't handle the terrain, and it's 150 miles to safety through headhunters in one direction and Japanese soldiers in the other. The extraordinary effort to rescue the trio makes up the bulk of Mitchell Zuckoff's engrossing and entertaining book. Zuckoff expertly weaves together a story that's nearly 70 years old from documents, diaries, journals and the recollections of the few people who were still alive to tell their tales. Dutch New Guinea is now known as Papua Indonesia. It's the region where I visited missionary friends last summer. The tribe my friends live among hadn't known Westerners until my friends arrived a decade ago, and the natives seem remarkably similar to the natives that the Americans first encountered in this book -- right down to the penis gourds many of the men still wear and the grass skirts many of the women still wear. The rescue effort described here troubled me in a sense. My father, who was a bomber pilot in the Pacific during World War II, has told me about a seeming lack of concern on the part of the brass for rescuing Army Air Corps personnel who were shot down in conflict, at least in one instance. Certainly, those men deserved as much effort as the threesome stranded in New Guinea. But that caveat takes nothing away from Zuckoff's first-rate narrative journalism. "Lost in Shangri-La" accompanied me on a trip last week, and the only thing wrong with it was that I finished it before I finished the trip.

This is so cleverly written, and so powerfully engaging. I dreaded the ending and had to break when I saw what was coming, but this was truly masterfully done.
Great book! The main character was so brave, and I like to think that a kid could be so brave to stand up for her friend and for what is right.

Hayatımın büyük, kapsamlı bir benzetme olup olmadığını merak ediyorum, bu kadar ilginç olur mu? Ve hangi hayvan beni temsil eder? Panda ve kokarca arasında bir şey umuyorum. Bu kitaptaki seviyeleri seviyorum - din, alegori, masal, savaş, çağın katmanları.
