joy in paris.......2004-03-08

i recently returned from my first trip to paris. in preparation, i reviewed multiple guidebooks and took with me two. the four i considered most promising were let's go paris, rough guide paris, frommers paris from $90 and fodors paris.

of these, after the trip, i must say that let's go paris was the most helpful with copious useful maps and tips, in addition to accurate and abundant recommendations on housing, dining and entertainment. frommers was the second most useful in planning and understanding the city.

although i thought that the rough guide would be beneficial, the maps were limited in detail and annotation. also, dining etc was not listed by arrondissements which made searching very difficult.

fodors was nice, but not particularly useful for the moderate income traveler compared to the others. frommers paris i briefly reviewed but found much less useful than this frommers guide.

Loved my adventures in Peru!!.......2004-01-06

Frommer's helped me to see so much of what I was hoping to see. With the planning that I was able to do with the guidebook, I experienced everything that I imagined the country could be and more. The detailed descriptions within the book helped me to pick out the venues that I knew I had to visit. And they were so beautiful....

Book Description

Here’s the real history of our country. How Capitalism Saved America explodes the myths spun by Michael Moore, the liberal media, Hollywood, academia, and the rest of the anticapitalist establishment.

Whether it’s Michael Moore or the New York Times, Hollywood or academia, a growing segment in America is waging a war on capitalism. We hear that greedy plutocrats exploit the American public; that capitalism harms consumers, the working class, and the environment; that the government needs to rein in capitalism; and on and on. Anticapitalist critiques have only grown more fevered in the wake of corporate scandals like Enron and WorldCom. Indeed, the 2004 presidential campaign has brought frequent calls to re-regulate the American economy.

But the anticapitalist arguments are pure bunk, as Thomas J. DiLorenzo reveals in How Capitalism Saved America. DiLorenzo, a professor of economics, shows how capitalism has made America the most prosperous nation on earth—and how the sort of government regulation that politicians and pundits endorse has hindered economic growth, caused higher unemployment, raised prices, and created many other problems. He propels the reader along with a fresh and compelling look at critical events in American history—covering everything from the Pilgrims to Bill Gates.

And just as he did in his last book, The Real Lincoln, DiLorenzo explodes numerous myths that have become conventional wisdom. How Capitalism Saved America reveals:

• How the introduction of a capitalist system saved the Pilgrims from starvation
• How the American Revolution was in large part a revolt against Britain’s stifling economic controls
• How the so-called robber barons actually improved the lives of millions of Americans by providing newer and better products at lower prices
• How the New Deal made the Great Depression worse
• How deregulation got this country out of the energy crisis of the 1970s—and was not the cause of recent blackouts in California and the Northeast
• And much more

How Capitalism Saved America is popular history at its explosive best.

Debunking myths about capitalism........2007-08-23

DiLorenzo tells the great story of how capitalism has always been a benefit to everyone and about how some have always wanted more. Politicians and their Big Business-buddies always were there to take power and money from society to grant themeselves great privileges and thereby to destroy the prosperiy, harmony and peace that capistalism brings. DiLorenzo takes on a lot of myths, and even provides a nice list of books for those who want to read more about why building (rail)roads is better left to the market, why unions destroy jobs of non-union members and cause a lower living-standard for all, why anti-trust laws destroy the competitive proces on the market or why every intervention in the marketplace is destructive.
After reading this book you will think differently about the way government runs things and finds excuses for ruling others.

WHAT CAPITALISM IS, AND ISN'T.......2007-06-15

This book provides a great look into how REAL capitalism took root before and during the American Revolution, how it was instrumental in making America an economic model of prosperity, and how it eventually was distorted, twisted and almost destroyed by Hamilton, Clay, Lincoln and their corporate welfare cohorts. (The Republican party still today is the WORST defender of free-market capitalism - they haven't a clue as to what it really is and even less how to practice it. The damage they've done to capitalism alone is staggering - and the shame of it all is that most people believe the GOP IS Capitalism, R-Ron Paul being an exception).

Dilorenzo also explains what capitalism isn't, using the railroad industry of the late 19th century as one example with all of it's government granted protectionism.

"How Capitalism Saved America" is a great book for clearing the air on the historical context of capitalism in America. I would highly recommend it for high-school and college students who have been fed myth after myth of lies and distortions about free-markets and deregulation. This book sets the record straight, clearly and efficiently.

A Story that Needs to be Told.......2007-05-13

A contrarian point of view is very much needed because the media has reached a conclusion about the role of government or entrepreneurial activity and the economy. I am always concerned about what I read in the media. Few if any journalists understand the topics of business, finance, or economics, let alone what the free market is. Yet the media commonly presents as facts things of which they have little understanding or practical knowledge. The media in America would have the average American convinced that Rockefeller or Gates are robber barons, the Great Depression was caused by too free of a market, too much competition is somehow bad, and the energy crisis of the 1970s was real.

When compared to our popular notions of the free market and the role of capitalism, DiLorenzo's arguments cut cleanly across the grain of conventional economic wisdom. He deftly explains that what most Americans understand as the free market is hardly that at all. Having worked on Capital Hill, his explanation of how our `trusted' politicians in Washington (or elsewhere) distort, even while claiming to deregulate, the market place for their own gain is spot on. The American economy has becoming increasing mercantilist as a consequence.

Even if you are of a liberal political strip, I recommend this book if just to get a different perspective. Emotion free, the book is not written with technical jargon. It is a very accessible read.

Worth reading.......2007-01-09

Interesting read. I enjoyed this.

Dilorenzo introduces some interesting ideas. This should be required reading for any business or marketing major.

If you enjoyed 'The World is Flat' you would enjoy this.

Finally, a little something positive from T.J.D........2006-12-21

Economist Thomas J. DiLorenzo's two books on Abraham Lincoln are based on slipshod research and written in popular style to put forth his Libertarian political and economic philosophy. History they are not. Here, however, he is on the topic of economics, and that is in his area of expertise. Oh, he still takes up a chapter with tired arguments why the Devil should assign Abe Lincoln a special place in hell, and the title is misleading - it should be called How Anti-capitalists are Trying to Destroy America. At least on economic matters there is some reason to believe him. "Some," I said. He again oversimplifies, and heaven forbid that he should ever present both sides of an argument. It's the Dilorenzionian way or the socialist highway. But he ends the book hammering on excessive litigation and Michael Moore's untutored displays of ignorance and bad taste, so you know he can't be all bad. He is just not great.

Book Description

In the ten years since the previous Koala book was published in the Australian Natural History Series by Lee and Martin, a great deal of basic research has been done on the koala. The conservation status of wild populations has been a topic of much debate and this new edition includes maps of the current distribution of the species and a commentary on the status of wild populations. Other recent studies have enhanced our knowledge in the areas of reproductive biology, endocrinology, energetics, and growth. Facts from all these studies have been woven into the narrative of this new natural history of the species. Headway has also been made in our understanding of koala disease, particularly Chlamydia, and this new information has caused a revision in our thinking as to its role and impact on koala populations. The book includes a chapter on koala population biology which is necessary for an understanding of the many complex issues for the management of the species. It concludes with a discussion of the most difficult management issues: conservation of sparsely distributed populations and the problem of overabundance.

Why We Garden: Cultivating a Sense of Place

ASIN: 080503742X

Amazon.com

In the grand scheme of things, a garden is a rather quotidian pleasure. Yet Allen Lacy finds a unique sensual delight in the very ordinariness of it: "It is sweet and pleasant to dig in the warm, slightly moist soil, to feel its grit and grain beneath the fingernails.... The rhythmic chore of pulling weeds soothes the soul like a mantra." The stimulation of the senses in the garden is a favorite theme that Lacy, the man who has been called "the dean of American gardeners," celebrates fully in The Inviting Garden, devoting a chapter to each. Lacy also proffers an affectionate look at gardening as an intellectual pleasure, with a longish but delightful discursion on botanical nomenclature, a slice of historical adventure in the story of how two rather different plants made their way from Asia to North America, a short but sweet chapter on the language of flowers, and the currently obligatory examination of the American suburban landscape. But it's in the chapters on gardening and the spirit that Lacy's charming circuitousness seems most at home: "Horticulture is sometimes described as a science, sometimes as an art, but the truth is that it is neither, although it partakes of both endeavors. It is more like falling in love, something that escapes all logic. There is a moment before one becomes a gardener, and a moment after--with a whole lifetime to keep on becoming a gardener." --Barrie Trinkle

Book Description

In The Inviting Garden, Allen Lacy speaks for the great number of dedicated and committed gardeners who share his passion for green and growing things and who take pleasure in all the rich satisfactions that the personal garden offers its makers. He also invites the beginner to take the plunge--to set forth on the lifelong journey that is the gardener's way of life.

Gardening, Lacy explains with great eloquence and good humor, is much more than a hobby. It delights all the senses, each in its turn. It offers virtually less intellectual stimulation. It has a profound spiritual dimension, as a basis for the lifelong friendships that bind people together in the common and shared pursuit of making the earth flourish with beauty. Its joys are unlimited, for they engage its practitioners as whole persons, not partial beings.

With the kind of tantalizing prose that makes you want to reach for a trowel, Allen Lacy gives us a deeply thoughtful book on the whole enterprise of gardening.

Book Description

The semantics of anaphoric pronouns or relativa grammaticalia played an important role in the treatises of both grammarians and logicians in the middle ages. However only very recently has the theme again received comparable attention in transformational grammar and the analytic school of linguistic philosophy under the influence of Geach. Here philosophers of language take particular interest in the question of how far these expressions can be seen as colloquial counterparts of the bound variables known from predicate logic. This work shows that scholastic theories of suppositio relativorum underwent a development in the 14th century and that the theories which gradually emerged anticipated in important ways the insights of recent linguistic philosophy. This thesis is illustrated by editions of selected texts of the logicians of the new continental universities of Vienna and Prague of the end of the 14th and the beginning of the 15th centuries and make it clear that the often asserted decline of scholasticism had not yet set in in the period after Ockham and Buridan. FR Die Semantik anaphorischer Pronomina oder relativa grammaticalia spielte sowohl in den Traktaten der Grammatiker als auch der Logiker des Mittelalters eine bedeutsame Rolle. Erst in der jungsten Gegenwart findet sie in der Transformationsgrammatik und der analytischen Philosophie der Sprache unter dem Einfluss von Geach wieder ahnliche Beachtung. Fur die Sprachphilosophen ist dabei vor allem die Frage von Interesse, inwieweit diese Ausdrucke als umgangssprachliches Pendant der aus der Pradikatenlogik bekannten gebundenen Variabelen aufgefasst werden durfen. In dieser Untersuchung soll gezeigt werden, dass die scholastischen Theorien der suppositio relativorum im 14. Jh. eine Entwicklung durchmachen und die allmahlich sich herauskristallisierenden Theorien in wichtigen Punkten die Erkenntnisse der neuesten Sprachphilosophie vorwegnehmen. Ausgewahlte Texteditionen von Logikern der jungen Universitaten des Kontinents wie Wien und Prag zum Ende des 14. und Beginn des 15. Jh. illustrieren diese These und machen deutlich, dass der oft beschworene Niedergang der Scholastik zumindest im Gebiet der Logik noch nicht mit der Epoche nach Ockham und Buridan eingesetzt hat.

Good selection, weak arrangements.......2000-05-08

Warning: In general, these are not the arrangements you hear on Sinatra records, at least the ones from the Capitol era. Usually they are not even close - different keys, less instrumentation, etc. For that reason, I found it to be an almost worthless compilation. Why not provide the arrangements people know and love?
