5 out of 5 stars A Great "Unknown" Hero.......2007-07-19

GENTLE TIGER is the story of one of the most remarkable nineteenth century figures in American History, Chatham Roberdeau Wheat. Lawyer, soldier of fortune, revolutionary, patriot. Wheat is a well-known Confederate hero, but he also fought with William Walker in South America and with Garibadli in Italy. During the Battle of Bull Run he survived a major wound fighting with his Louisiana Tigers beside Stonewall Jackson's Virginians. Wheat is featured in the definitive book on the Confederacy, "Lee's Lieutenants". Killed at Gaines Mill. A relative of General Daniel Roberdeau, who was in the Continental Congress and a signer of the Articles of Confederation during the American Revolution.

            Book Description

            In the second half of his life, Bertrand Russell transformed himself from a major philosopher, whose work was intelligible to a small elite, into a political activist and popular writer, known to millions throughout the world. Yet his life is the tragic story of a man who believed in a modern, rational approach to life and who, though his ideas guided popular opinion throughout the twentieth century, lost everything.

            Russell's views on marriage, religion, education, and politics attracted legions of devoted followers and, at the same time, provoked harsh attacks from every direction. On the one hand, he was stripped of his post at New York's City College because he was thought to be a bad influence on his students, and on the other, he was awarded the Order of Merit, the Nobel Prize in literature, and a lifetime Fellowship of Trinity College, Cambridge. He lived to be ninety-seven, and as he became older he became increasingly controversial. Monk quotes Russell's telegrams to Kennedy and Khrushchev during the Cuban missile crisis, an influence that Russell and his followers believed tipped the balance toward peace. Russell devoted his last years to a campaign organized by his secretary to lend support to Che Guevara's call for a globally coordinated revolutionary struggle against "U.S. imperialism." Until now, this last campaign has been misunderstood as a -- perhaps misguided, but nevertheless innocent -- plea for world peace. Monk reveals it was no such thing.

            Drawing on thousands of documents collected at the Russell archives in Canada, Monk steers through the turbulence of Russell's public activities, scrutinizing his sometimes paradoxical and often outrageous pronouncements. Monk's focus, however, is on the tragedy of Russell's personal life, and in revealing this inner drama Monk has relied heavily on the cooperation of Russell's surviving relatives and access to previously unexamined legal and private correspondence. A central player in Russell's life was his first son, John. Russell applied the methods of the new science of child psychology in his parenting, believing that a new generation of children could be reared to be "independent, fearless, and free." But instead of being a model of this new generation, John became anxious, withdrawn, and eventually schizophrenic. Nor was John's daughter Lucy (who was Russell's favorite grandchild) to be a model of the new generation; gradually she grew so emotionally disturbed that, at the age of twenty-six, she took her own life.

            The Ghost of Madness completes the most searching examination yet published of Bertrand Russell's unique life and work. Together with Ray Monk's highly praised first volume of the biography, The Spirit of Solitude, this is the classic account of an extraordinary man who championed the great ideas of the twentieth century and was all but destroyed by them. It is a portrait of the mind of a century.

            5 out of 5 stars Thanks Ray!.......2007-02-11


            Having read "Wittgenstein", then vol 1 of this biography, this was a natural and exciting follower. I certainly have to wonder what connection there is to a life associated, at least ab initio, with mathematics and failure in one's personal life. Considering the connection between logic, mathematics, and reasoning, and our need for success with those to be successful in one's life in general, this certainly brings up an issue of a golden mean between extremes. It perhaps also brings up an issue of autism and the genetic predisposition to autism as a range of autism might on one hand lead to outstanding mathematical accomplishment accompanied by outstanding social failure.

            It is such a shame that such a great mind would give up such important work for lack of - self discipline? Self control? A family madness? Most telling I thought was the quote given in response to the question "Why did you give up philosophy?" Since his response is shocking but stabs to the heart of the personal difficulties experienced by BR and successfully passed on to almost all of his children and grandchildren one has to wonder was this nurture or nature. A clue seems to be the success of those who had the earliest and longest break in contact. The less contact the more success?

            Perhaps an errata sheet should be made available regarding the apparent deleted words. One sentence especially seemed to need "not" to make sense in context, but in general I found my reading to be abruptly halted with the awareness of a word missing - in a context where I could know precisely what word would have been right. I half wonder if RM was using a new word processor or something? I did not notice this at all with vol. 1.

            Regardless, of all the things worth reading this will always be high on my recommend list. Great philosophers are easier to understand when we know as much as we can about them as persons. Thanks Ray! Eternally grateful.

            1 out of 5 stars Autobiography vs. biography.......2003-10-31

            Because of Russell's political views (his opposition to war and U.S. imperialism) he has always been the subject of attacks by other intellectuals (the late Sidney Hook is a prime example). One only has to compare Monk's work on Russell to his biography of Wittgenstein ("The Duty of Genius" says it all). The interesting thing about each of Monk's biographies is that while both men led solitary lives and maintained erratic beliefs and behavior, Russell is castigated as a "madman" while Wittgenstein is a "genius." It is far too easy as a biographer to portray intellectual celebrities as either geniuses or madman. If you want to hear from the person, Bertie Russell, read his biography instead.

            5 out of 5 stars A tormented volcanic island who spilled a lot of lavae.......2003-05-17

            This exceptional book is a sequel to The Spirit of Solitude, written by Ray Amok, which covers the first 50 years of Russell's life, and which could be summarized by achieving world fame and academic glory by means of his early work as a philosophical mathematician, specially trough his "Principia Matematica",a monumental theoretical work, with the co-authorship of Whitehead.

            Ray Monk magistrally portrays Russell as facing now the challenge of taking a new direction to his life, trying to achieve the same level of academical glory when entering into new fields of knowledge. The story is of a genius who had to prove to himself that he had not lost his intelectual vigour in the ageing proccess and at the same time , balancing his mundane needs trough popular texts written to readers not specialized in philosophy and mathematics, and many other areas where he was proficient.

            He marriages now for the second time in his life, with Dora, with he would generate a son (John) and a daughter (Kate), began for him a new era as an educator and as a mass-comunicator, where he approached all the available means (newspapers, magazines, radio panels and lectures) in order to make money thus providing the material means for his special ideas on how to educate his children. He wrote many books on the subject and even inaugurated a special school where his two children where educated along with the children of some upper-class Englishmen and Americans.

            He was two be married again twice and to have more children with Peter (yes, a very special nickname of his third wive). In terms of the outcome he got, it was nothing anyone could foresee at the beginning.

            To sum it up, the book is a faithful portrait of a tormented man, surrounded by all kinds of people who loved/hated him, and who seems to destroy every inch of happiness one could have before getting to know him. Strange as it seems, the man who was trying to save the world with his pacifist stand against nazism, and later comunism, and all forms of totalitarianism, was incapable of understand the human nature of all people who lived with him.

            This is a good book to read to everyone interested in philosophy and in the life of the greatest philosopher of the 20th century.

            5 out of 5 stars Remarkable biography........2002-08-27

            The chilling story of Bertrand Russell's disastrous later life: his ferocious battles with his children, wives and mistresses, his financial needs covered by second-rate newspaper articles and American lectures for older women, his sometimes quite naive political struggles on the side of socialism (all land and capital must be the property of the State) and the peace movement. At the end of his life, he allowed himself to be totally neutralized by an American CIA agent (I quote Bryan Magee). For the author, the reason for these disasters were two fundamental traits of Russell's character: a deep seated fear of madness (a constant in his family) and a quite colossal vanity.
            The big shock of his life was the destructive First World War. He became a profound misanthrope, who lost all confidence in humanity. It put nearly an end to all serious philisophical and mathematical work.
            Thoroughly documented and extremely well narrated work. The author is very good acquainted with philosophy and mathematics. I miss one name in this provoking work: Karl Popper.

            4 out of 5 stars Painful revelations for Russell lovers.......2002-05-23

            I wanted to name my son "Russell" (if I had a son), at one point. In college and (philosophy) grad school I was a tremendous admirer of Russell, in particular his "On Denoting" and other explications of how language and logic works. As a college student in the late '60s I was also impressed and influenced by his staunch (and early) opposition to the Viet Nam war.

            So reading The Ghost of Madness was a sad revelation. I had already read, with great enjoyment, Monk's Duty of Genius and Spirit of Solitude, but this volume took me quite a while to get through, cause on nearly every page there was another revelation of Russell's pettiness, and just-plain-meanness, especially to his schizophrenic son and granddaughter, Lucy.

            Monk's other 2 main works deserve 5 stars, this one one less cause he lost any semblance of an "objective" biographer's stance (I know I know "objectivity" is problematic...), starting with the preface and acknowledgements.

              I bought this book based on Gerard's review. I found it to be decent and fairly useful. Most of the stuff is pretty straight forward and already common knowledge. Some useful hints that I hadn't thought about on how to organize yourself and seek help. All the pictures in the book seem to be out of the 70s or 80s, which I found kind of strange...not that it matters. The book is really short and you probably only need to look at it once. It's a worthwhile investment.

                          Tired of earnest arias on the mysteries of fatherhood? What the Heck Were You Expecting? is a hilarious send-up of those comprehensive what-to-expect manuals. Even better, so much useful information is folded in with the wisecracks that even know-it-all dads are bound to learn something. In his bestselling What to Expect When Your Wife Is Expanding, author Thomas Hill acted as the third-base coach who signaled expectant fathers to home plate. In this follow-up, Hill tells them what happens afterwards, from a teething crisis (put down the Jack Daniels and reach for the Tamnavulin) to reassuring partners that their cracked, aching nipples are still sexy. Chapters are broken into chronological order, one for each month of your new baby's life (except for months eight, nine and ten, which are lumped into one). Regular features include "What Your Above-Average Baby May Be Doing," "What Your Wife May Be Complaining About" (the new father is always on the list), and "What to be Terrified About." Despite this glibness, readers will actually learn things from this book, though it's not the sort of manual that comes with a plump, user-friendly index. Rather, What the Heck? is designed to help new dads loosen up, while offering a truly "complete guide for the perplexed father."--Kathi Inman Berens

                          Book Description

                          Everything you need to know about fatherhood -- but were afraid to ask!.

                          Why are all parenting books directed at mommies? Daddies need help, too. In fact, when you think about it, they may need more help than their naturally maternal mates do. They need guidance, comfort, and validation. They probably also need a good night's sleep, and they definitely need a good laugh.

                                   What the Heck Were You Expecting? provides month-by-month counsel for the spit-up covered, the sleep deprived, and the just plain peek-a-booed out, including such subjects as:What your wife might be complaining about (. . . anything she can think of)
                          What your above-average child may be doing (. . . paying attention to small objects)
                          What you might be concerned about (. . . the meaning of life)
                          A couple of things to say to let her know that you're caring, sensitive, and up on the required reading (. . . "Listen to this one: Statistics show that attendance at work is better among married men with children and spikes even higher among fathers of newborns. Quite a coincidence, huh?")

                          Thomas Hill, registered father and author of the best-selling What to Expect When Your Wife Is Expanding, answers every father's questions about:

                          ESPN as Edu-tainment
                          Horsy Knee Burn
                          Zen and the Art of Spoon-feeding
                          Basics of Crib Assembly
                          Nap Time . . . and How to Hide It from Your Boss
                          . . .among other topics.

                          5 out of 5 stars Great book for the new dad........2006-07-18

                          This book is great. It really puts things in a new dad's perspective. The book is really funny and we all got a kick out of reading it.

                          2 out of 5 stars Condescending and unfunny........2006-06-26

                          These are the sorts of books where you really have to find one on your level, and this was really shoots way, way below my level. Beyond making antiquated and sexist assumptions about the relationships between husbands and wives, the book is light on practical advice and heavy on sports metaphors low-brow yuk-yuk humor. I'm going to spend some time thumbing through this book's competitors before I buy another "guide for dads."

                          1 out of 5 stars Inaccurate information.......2005-08-06

                          I wouldn't recommend this book at all, since lots of the information contained is just to try to make you laugh. don't try to follow what the author says, because if you ask your doctor or read about those methods, they are actually not recommended at all

                          3 out of 5 stars not the best.......2005-07-30

                          I bought this for my husband but it isn't that great. I guess it's better than nothing but not as humorous and not as useful as 'Be Prepared' for example. Some of the points were plain dumb or even offensive to me when browsing it as a new (hormonal?) mom, while I (and he) found the BP book much better all round. We gave this one away pretty early on.

                          3 out of 5 stars Thomas prints the same books in different cover.......2005-06-01

                          I purchased 2 books from Thomas Hill , surprising but they are almost the same.. " What the heck u are expecting .." & "What to expect when..." just one of them is enough from Thomas... they are interesting , buy only the latests one.
