If you are in the least way interested in hisrory or the founding of the intelligence services in the US; this book is a must have. Every page reveals more excitement in WWII Europe. Probably one of the best books I have had the pleasure of reading.

    Book Description

    Mary Gluck introduces us to a Lukács we have never met. Here is Lukács among his friends, lovers, and peers in those important years before 1918, when he converted to Communism and Marxism at the age of thirty-nine.

    Georg Lukács claimed in later life that his early achievements lacked genuine coherence, being expressions of a vague "romantic anticapitalism" that only found resolution in his conversion to Marxism. By integrating Lukács with his early generational grouping and making expert use of a new treasure trove of documents from his early years, Gluck demonstrates that revolutionary socialism was not the inevitable outcome of Lukács' early cultural radicalism, but only one of several possible options in the fragmented ideological climate of postwar Europe. From this new perspective, his pre-Marxist career takes on a cultural consistency that parallels and illuminates the inner strivings of the early modernists before the outbreak of World War I.

    Lukács emerges in this generational portrait not only as dramatic and psychologically complex but also as a representative figure whose inner dilemmas were echoed in the lives of many other radical intellectuals who came of age during the fin de siêcle period. Gluck situates Lukács within a fascinating network of friends and associates, the so-called Sunday Circle, which included such people as Karl Mannheim, Arnold Hauser, Bela Balázs, and Anna Lesznai. She adeptly anchors this group within the context of social and economic transformations in Hungary that brought new conservative, antisemitic movements to the fore and that marginalized the assimilated Jewish middle classes to which Lukács and most of his friends belonged. Retracing their collective hopes and values helps to clarify the far-ranging cultural crisis associated with the decline of nineteenth-century liberal culture and the emergence of the modernist sensibility.

    If you are among the 1 in 250 american adults intolerant of gluten or allergic to wheat, you know how frustrating it can be to crave a buttery scone or a slice of warm pie. And if you have kids who are gluten-sensitive, you know how much they miss being able to bite into a chewy chocolate chip cookie when they come home from school and how much they hate having to say no to a slice of a friend's birthday cake.

    Now, with Gluten-Free Baking by Cordon Bleu-trained chef Rebecca Reilly, you don't have to sit by while family and friends indulge in desserts and other confections. More than 125 recipes for sweet and savory goods, including crispy cookies, meltingly tender muffins, elegant quiches, and stunning layer cakes, prove that eating can be a pleasure, no matter what your dietary issues are.

    Baking without wheat is notoriously tricky, but using Reilly's detailed step-by-step recipes, anyone will be able to turn out tempting treats like moist Pumpkin Bread and tender Sour Cream Coffee Cake. Crisp Ginger Molasses Cookies, Lemon Squares, and Pound Cake are kid-and family-pleasing favorites that will no longer be off-limits.

    In addition, you'll find tips on how to stock a gluten-free kitchen, advice on techniques, sources for ingredients, and a list of resources and information on celiac disease and gluten sensitivity.

    5 out of 5 stars Recipes even gluten-eaters love!.......2007-08-09

    When I first stopped eating gluten, I gave up baking from scratch. I knew there were ways to make substitutions in recipes, but my few attempts came out very poorly. I've always been a good baker, so it was heart-breaking to turn out dry, crumbly, barely-edible versions of my previous specialties.

    For a couple of years, I've been baking from mixes, which is fine, but doesn't give me the same satisfaction as baking from scratch. So, this summer, I decided to try again, and finally opened this cookbook with the intent of baking from it, and not only drooling over the gorgeous pages of full-color photos.

    I've made the sour-cream coffeecake and the blueberry scones (a suggested variation on the raisin-cream scones), and served them to my parents and sister, all of whom can eat gluten and are gentle-but-candid when they don't think a recipe has come out well. They've loved them both!

    And me? I can't wait to try the next one!

    Very complete. Includes many recipes I haven't seen before and a lot of recipes I've been missing since going gluten-free.

    4 out of 5 stars Sweet tooth?.......2006-09-24

    This book is full of information, great pictures and recipes for some baked goods no one else has attempted.

    However, I have found a couple recipes that are not good at all (the scone pizza crust was awful and did not work as she printed it (I do believe there may have been an omission of xanthan gum in the recipe).

    The raspberry muffins are great, but I modified the recipe substantially to add extra nutrition and did not use sweetened coconut. Same goes for the apple muffins- yum.

    I have made many of the recipes including the creme puffs/eclairs which turned out fabulous. My whole family ate all of them in one sitting... some of us hadn't had a creme puff in years. The blueberry scones are also quite tasty ( I cut out some of the sugar) and look and taste much like a "real" scone. The pudding is delicious (again I cut out some of the sugar and used vanilla bean instead of the extract). Her pie crust turns out well too. It is a pity there are no bread recipes. It would be nice to see what she would come up with.

    This is a wonderful addition to your library, even though it has a couple kinks in it. Definitely recommended.

    5 out of 5 stars Absolutely a God-send.......2006-02-09

    I love this book. It gave me such hope when I was first diagnosed four years ago. I held it to my heart and rejoiced. Up to that point I thought I was doomed to a pretty boring culinary life. This book really helped me to learn how to make wonderful gluten free desserts for my family. I am celiac, and I also have a celiac son and daughter who LOVE anything I make from this book - as do any non-celaic family and friends.

    Some people remark that the items taste "too sweet" - really they are made to resemble traditional recipes when you need them They don't shriek "health food"! I love health food - but where does a celiac go when you sometimes want something absolutely delicious - for a treat or a special event? This book opens up the possibilities. Rebecca still looks healthy and trim - and she is a mother of two kids - so she must have found a balance somewhere. Sometimes when things are DELICIOUS you don't need or want to overeat them. Also most of her recipes use brown rice flour in her blends - so that is pretty healthy. In other words - in traditonal recipes you could never get this good flavor if you used whole wheat flour - but she gets a refined taste while using a healthy dose of brown rice flour.

    I learned the deeper secrets of good gluten free bakig from this book. I now experiment - but i also use her recipes 'straight up'. I also sometimes use stevia whne I want to cut back on sugar in recipes. The trick is to only replace some of the sweetener with stevia - even up to 75%. Then use "normal" sweetener for the rest, and you won't get the bitter after taste of stevia.

    Finally - it gave me heart that her introduction was not some long lament on "what celiac can do to you" but rather it was a lovely chapter on her love of cooking and its place in a joyful home.

    Thank you Rebecca Reilly...

      5 out of 5 stars A fun, very entertaining book.......2005-11-20


      This is a fun book.

      I read it while living in Puerto Rico so I could run out and get the all ingredients and mix up any drinks immediately. My friends and I came to love this book. We used it extensively (especially on Friday nights). I also enjoyed the snippets of fiction and art work woven through the book that tie it all the drink recipes together. It's difficult to make a bar book entertaining to read but the author succeeds 100%.

      Stories of writers from all over the world in their "drinking" sprees, detailling with an excellent narrative and wonderful drawings (by Günter Mattei) the making of drinks and what these writers drank. As we say in French, it is the "petite histoire" behind their stories (of the writers and the drinks).

              Jumping Jack the Grasshopper is an adorable book about a grasshopper named Jack who is looking for a friend. In the end, Jack leanrns that he doesn't have to be just like someone in order to be their friend...some friends wiggle, fly, and swim. My active 2 year old little boy will actually sit down to read this book as he hops the toy grasshopper "Jack" that comes with the book from page to page on his adventure, and he learns a valuable lesson.

                          Book Description

                          Recent medical reports announcing the increase in childhood obesity have become front-page news, raising concerns that this generation will face serious physical problems as adults. What is often overlooked, however, is the more immediate impact of the crisis on the children themselves. Rescuing the Emotional Lives of Overweight Children is the first book to take an in-depth look at the lives of these children. Drawing on a national survey she conducted with middle school children, as well as personal interviews and case studies from her private practice, the noted child psychologist Dr. Sylvia Rimm shows the emotional depth of this epidemic. She explains how overweight children struggle in school, have lowered expectations for their future, have troubling relationships with peers and adults, exhibit more high-risk behavior, and are even more misunderstood by their own families. Using her findings as a starting point, Dr. Rimm outlines the ways parents can make a positive difference in their children's lives, including: lBeing aware of the discrimination overweight children face and working to counteract negative biases in school and among a child's peer group lEncouraging healthful eating without engaging in constant nagging and scolding lGuiding children toward greater achievement, better social interactions, more in-de-pen-dence, and higher personal expectations

                          3 out of 5 stars Not Thrilled........2007-06-11

                          As a former fat child, I already know the devastating effect being overweight can have on one's psyche. Reading this book just reminded me of my miserable childhood and of the horrors my daughter must be experiencing. In fact, I haven't been able to finish the book because it's so upsetting. Maybe there's some comfort and positive advice in later chapters--I hope so.

                          5 out of 5 stars There's more to it than taking away sweets . . . .......2006-08-11

                          Have you ever noticed that "skinny" people say you just need to quit eating fattening foods and exercise more! Well, there is more to it than that. This book goes into the emotional side of why some kids eat too much & what they endure because of it.

                          My daughter and I both struggle with weight. We've tried limiting what she eats & getting her to exercise more. However, the more we pressed it, the more she saw it as a punishment & an attack on her self esteem. I just wasn't sure how to help her emotionally.

                          There's such a fine line between saying, "You're unacceptable as you are - you need to change" and "You're a wonderful person no matter your weight". This book goes into how to find that happy medium.

                          This is the first book that I've felt strongly about reviewing. I have no problems giving it the full 5 stars. I thought it would be one to read & pass along to my friends. However, I'm keeping mine to reference again & buying another to pass along.

                          5 out of 5 stars Do we want them to want to be thin?.......2005-08-24

                          This is an excellent book, and one that should be read by anyone who deals with overweight children, as teacher, parent, physician or psychologist. It is well written, with many instructive and poignant vignettes.
                          Having said that, there are some negatives. The central dilemma in helping the overweight child is a conflict between making the child feel better and making the child thinner. The track record of treatments to make them thinner is poor. Sometimes they work but they involve convincing the child of how desirable it is to be thin. The more convinced the child becomes of the desirability of thinness the worse it feels. Rimm touches on this problem in her earlier chapters, especially in describing her argument with her son the epidemiologist, but does not resolve the issue.
                          Cigarettes, marihuana and alcohol are barely mentioned. This may be because of her of her focus in the earlier chapters on her own important and groundbreaking work, which was with middle schoolers.
                          I did not think the chapters on treatment were truly evidence-based although she has many good and useful ideas. She relies on secondary sources and on intuition and anecdotal evidence. It is presumably outside her stated purpose to offer specific dietary recommendations, but she does, in fact, make some suggestions. She might as well have gone the whole hog (sorry) and provided diet sheets rather than scientifically dubious and half-hearted tips about eating three meals a day and "healthy snacks."
                          The use of diet pills is not mentioned. These seem to be taboo for writers on pediatric weight problems, even though the same medications are widely prescribed to make naughty children behave better (with growth stunting regarded as an unwanted side effect).

                          From The Critics
                          Library Journal
                          While many manuals address how to help children combat weight problems through diet, exercise, and family lifestyle changes, none has tackled in-depth their emotional lives until now. Child psychologist Rimm (See Jane Win) compiles results from her national survey of middle-school children, personal interviews, case studies, and other international research to help readers understand the psychological well-being of overweight children. After demonstrating the extent of this public health epidemic, Rimm outlines how these children feel about their poor social interactions, low school achievement, lack of athletic prowess, and troubling family relationships. In many ways, the results are not profound. Still, addressing the emotional aspects of this issue is paramount to the future of these children and to the future of American public health (as discussed in Chapter 2). Drawing on her findings, Rimm provides an important six-step rescue plan to guide parents in helping their overweight children overcome discrimination and acquire a healthier lifestyle that will lead to greater achievement and higher personal expectations. Strongly recommended for all libraries;

                                Book Description

                                Ninety years ago, Lytton Strachey scandalized British society with his book Eminent Victorians, in which he disparaged the accomplishments and exaggerated the failings of four highly respected Victorians. It was an immediate bestseller, of course. In Eminent Canadians, John Fraser helps himself to Strachey’s title and to his innovative form – the journalistic profile – and goes one better by doubling the number of worthies under the magnifying glass. But his purpose is not the same as Strachey’s. Fraser wants, as he puts it, to “redeem the dismissed and humanize the demonized.” By telling stories about them, and about the Canada they live or lived in.

                                Of the eight Canadians Fraser subjects to his informed, opinionated, and highly entertaining scrutiny, four represent the past and four the present of a key national institution – the Anglican Church; The Globe and Mail; the prime ministership; and the monarchy. By juxtaposing rich portraits of past leaders with candid tales about their present or most recent counterparts, Fraser sheds light on just how exasperating an entity Canada has always been. And how lively a history it has.

                                Eminent Canadians has a serious purpose, but it is not a serious book. This is John Fraser, after all, so there is much fun to be had reading his tales of eight eminent Canadians who, as Fraser says, did the best they could to live up to the challenges of their offices and times.

                                  From the supplier: Approximately two-thirds of eminent Canadian women participating in a survey recalled holding a special position or being treated as special by their family during childhood. Special treatment, they recalled, was due to the attributes of birth order, scholastic achievement, health or talent. Family members often responded with attention, love or caring.
