Müsned (Türkçe Ve Arapça Aslı) TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından: Ravza Yayınları

i was really disappointed in the overall blah-ness of this book. after reading "the secret history" i expected something just as riveting. the story line sounds like a good one, a little boy is murdered and ten years later his devastated family still doesn't know who did it. his little sister becomes obsessed with finding the killer and vows to avenge him. but the development of the story is boring and uneventful. i'm glad i read it, but i can't say that i would recommend it to anyone else.

Nina Simone ‎– For Lovers CD TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından:

Being a product of the British Empire, I have something of a soft spot for it. Piers Brendon doesn't. This massive book, which took me nearly a month to finish, has almost nothing good to say about history's biggest-ever empire, concentrating instead on land-grabs, exploitation of peoples and resources, on imperial arrogance, corruption and perfidy, on military and political blunders, atrocities of various kinds, acts of cowardice and betrayal, policies of neglect and policies of divide and rule. There is, admittedly, plenty of such material to choose from. I don't believe Brendon misses any of it. What he does miss, apart from a handful of grudging references thinly sprinkled across more than 650 pages closely-printed pages, is the plethora of benefits that British rule brought the colonies. British-built roads, railways, seaports and airfields were designed to facilitate colonial commerce and project imperial power, yet were of incommensurable value to the local people who also used them. British trade and economic development benefited locals too, and not just members of the comprador classes either. British schools and missions were designed to create docile and usefully employable imperial subjects, yet they also propagated useful knowledge, helped overcome superstition and ignorance and introduced to subject peoples the selfsame liberal ideas that would, in time, encourage them to demand and win their freedom. If a majority of the world's peoples today can be termed 'civilized' in any sense, then it is the British and their empire that deserve the lion's share of the credit. But Brendon isn't interested in any of that. He just goes banging on about the horrors of British rule, even when forced to admit that other empires, from that of Rome to Japan's notorious wartime ‘Asian Co-Prosperity Sphere’, were far worse. A benign empire is, of course, a contradiction in terms; but I do believe the British tried harder than any other imperial power, and with more success, to resolve those contradictions. It is hard to understand exactly what the author's motivation was to research and write this book. Clearly he has an axe to grind and it cuts to the left, but this is just a smear job with no larger political conclusions drawn from it. There is not even a fig-leaf of an attempt to appear fair. Many times I was tempted to quit reading and fling the book across the room. I persevered because of my interest in the subject; you might say I persisted for scholarly reasons. And talking of scholarship, that in the book appears largely second-hand. The text is copiously annotated (there are nearly 100 pages of endnotes!) but most of the notes are just attributions of clever turns of phrase Brendon has mined from other people's work; only rarely do they seem to offer factual support for his assertions. On the subject of my own country many of his statements are flatly wrong, leading me to believe that his scholarship regarding other parts of the erstwhile British Empire is probably just as sloppy. Brendon also seems to have a personal grouse against Rupert Murdoch, and misses no opportunity to slander the man, the newspapers he owns, and even Murdoch's forebears. Astonishing, that he could find time for such pettiness in the midst of this Herculean literary effort. Incidentally, and ironically, I borrowed this book from the British Council library in the capital city of the former British colony where I was born and still live. That fact itself gives the lie to many of Brendon's animadversions.

Another in a continuing series: books I was assigned to read in college but *cough* couldn't find the time to. This is a very brief epistemological investigation (by a philosopher) of how science is done. Using examples such as Aristotle, Ptolemy, Galileo, Newton, Kant, Boyle, and Lavoisier, Toulmin argues that we shouldn't dismiss as naive the efforts of earlier scientists (or natural philosophers) just because their explanations don't comport with the "facts" or systems of thought we have in place today. On the contrary, their work was an essential kind of timber-clearing that made possible the edifices of modern science.

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından: İthaki Yayınları

I found this an absorbing examination of feminism's spiritual roots and its use of myth, and a very interesting discussion of the implications of belief in this particular myth (or theory, if you prefer). As one of those "feminist archaeologists", I thought Eller handled the archaeological evidence (and the often abstruse archaeological literature) very well (see here for more on gender & archaeology.

Sevinç Ve Güzellik Alemleri - Kader Bilmecesi TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından: Ruh ve Madde Yayınları

This is one of Steinbeck’s earlier works and takes place in California. (If you have read East of Eden it is the same scenery just a different era.) This novel deals with a man’s dream of finding his place in the world, his idea of God, and his relationship with the earth. This novel is written in a style very similar to Cormac McCarthy or I guess I should say that I can now see Steinbeck in Cormac McCarthy’s work. The way in which Steinbeck depicts God is beautiful and severe (Old Testament God mixed with paganism) and the ending is horrifyingly beautiful. The novel centers around a tree that the main character Joseph Waine embodies the dead spirit of his father in and I kept on getting the horrifying image of the tree in the ending of Child of God by McCarthy stuck in my mind throughout this novel. This is a short novel and should only take a couple of days to read but shows the diversity of our countries best novelist. Yes, I said our best. "People of Athens, I see that you are in every respect religiously exact. For as I walked about and looked carefully at your objects of worship, I even came upon an altar inscribed, 'To a God Unknown.' Now what you thus worship unknowingly I would proclaim to you" (Acts 17:23).

This book was a good read- it was hard to follow at first because it is narrated by 3 women. However, after getting used to the writing style you can easily tell which character is narrating the story. It is about the secrets that everyone keeps and the freedom that can be gained by sharing. The ending was the best part of the book.

** Güncelleme ** Geri dönmek ve bu inceleme düzenlemek ve 4 yıldız 5 yıldız değiştirmek zorunda kaldı. Ondan uzaklaştıkça, daha çok seviyorum! Harika kitap! 1923'ten bu yana ilk 100'den biri mi? ... muhtemelen değil. Ama ilgi çekici, durdurulamaz, unutulmaz bir kitaptı. Anlatım stilini sevmedim - aslında, bazen beni rahatsız etti. Geçmişe baktığımızda, hem inanılmaz derecede basit hem de karmaşık olan harika hazırlanmış bir hikayeydi. Başparmak havaya!
