        Book Description

        Isa Genzken's Der Spiegel 1989-1991 is a limited edition artist's book of deceptive simplicity: it consists of 121 reproductions of black-and-white photographs cut out of the influential German newsweekly Der Spiegel over a period of three years. The images are presented starkly, bereft of photo credits or captions: having been freed from their usual meaning-giving context, the images assume a mystery and free-floating universality as the viewer unconsciously struggles to recall the specificity of the sensational news story and headline to which they were once attached. The book is produced in a limited edition of 700 numbered copies.

            Book Description

            How and why do some disadvantaged American families manage to stay together and become self-reliant despite the grip of overwhelming poverty?

            "I have wandered the nether world of poverty for the past thirty years," writes Stephen Shames in his introduction to this book. "I wondered why do some poor children turn out fine while others fail so miserably. Isn't there something we can do as individuals, as neighbors, and as a nation to help poor children succeed?"

            Working for three years with the Chicago-based Family Resource Coalition, Shames, a noted documentary photographer, visited community programs in culturally diverse areas from Maine to Hawaii to record how community-based programs help families achieve financial and emotional stability.

            Here are inspirational stories, in the families' own words, about rebuilding strong relationships between husband and wife, parent and child, neighbor and neighborhood. One of the many examples in the book is a young father working with the Avance Family Support and Education Program in San Antonio: "I used to get mad and scream...Spank [the children] without even stopping and thinking about it. And then Avance showed me about this five-minute time out. You know, take a break and then come back....I learned how to communicate with my wife without getting mad and stomping around the house...Avance did a lot for us by making us realize that no goal is greater than what we feel towards each other and what we want to do later in the future."

            Pursuing the Dream is about successful and often daring community-based family support programs across America that enable families and their children to overcome devastating cycles of poverty, drugs, and violence. These are uplifting stories, in the families' own words, about recapturing love, achieving financial stability, and building supportive neighborhoods. Included is a statement from the Chicago Bulls on their commitment to community centers for the whole family.

                5 out of 5 stars On Marx's Grundrisse, the method of Capital and Hegel.......1998-12-16

                Rosdolsky shows how even the most illustrated critics of Marx's conception of capitalism may be grossly misunderstanding his method. The author stresses the connection between Hegel's Logic and Grundrisse.

                Rosdolsky was among the first to call attention to Grundrisse as a text indispensable for a proper evaluation of Marx's critique of capitalism.

                        Book Description

                        Most Foreign Joint Ventures, especially those in developing economies, go through a series of crises before any positive results are seen, or the ventures are abandoned. This book describes an exception to this rule in great detail. The Nantong Cellulose Fibers Company, established in China in 1987, exceeded its rated capacity in its first year of operation; is currently being expanded 150%; the quality of its products meets world-class standards; and costs are within budget. This book describes the practices that led to the successful formation of this company, and can be applied to any joint venture in a developing economy. Co-published with the Center for Chinese Business Studies.

                                              A Gallant Company goes beyond the bestselling Great Escape by Paul Brickhill and tells the only full and complete account of the dramatic escape of Allied airmen from Stalag Luft III in World War II that was the basis for the hit movie The Great Escape starring Steve McQueen.

                                              On the night of March 24-25, 1944, seventy-nine Allied airmen clambered through a tunnel at Stalag Luft III in eastern Germany in the final act of what history and Hollywood have dubbed "The Great Escape." Built around a cast of colorful and engaging characters from every corner of the world, it describes their ongoing struggle to outwit their captors. It is a tale of ingenuity, perseverance, courage, and is a testament to what ordinary men can achieve under extraordinary circumstances.

                                              5 out of 5 stars Some Novel Information about the Great Escape.......2006-03-31


                                              Most of the information presented in this book is the same or very similar to that provided in 1950 by Paul Brickhill's classic book on the Great Escape. Among the novel information in this book is a greater emphasis on the biographies of the escapers as well as the postwar trials of the German criminals responsible for murdering 50 of the 73 recaptured escapes.

                                              Vance also discusses the problem of Harry turning out 20-30 feet short of the woods in somewhat greater detail than most if not all other books on the Great Escape. Interestingly, there was an earlier hint of this problem. While still digging the exit shaft, the tunnelers heard the sounds of trucks on the nearby road, and began to suspect that the exit shaft was too close to the road and thereby short of the woods. But a recheck of the computations failed to disclose any error in surveying. One wonders, then, why Harry came up short of the woods. Vance presents simple information that underscores the challenges of land surveying without proper equipment. It turns out that, when an exterior tree (with its necessary wide trunk) was forced to serve as the surveyors' transit, a small error in measured angle added up to a significant error in estimated distance. Perhaps this explains Harry's excessive shortness.

                                              There is a novel map of Sagan and the villages around it. Vance also provides detail about some of the blind spots in the wire (a fact that inspired the baseball-throwing escape attempt by Steve McQueen in the film). It turns out to be a problem of visual perspective: The goon towers were so far apart that the wire would bunch together when viewed from a distance at a steep angle. Ironically, increasing the platform size of the goon towers created new blind spots directly underneath the towers!




                                              5 out of 5 stars The Great Escape -Just Who Were the Fifty?.......2001-12-13

                                              This book gives a background to each of the Fifty RAF and Allied officers who was murdered by the Gestapo on re-capture from Operation 200, post-war named The Great Escape. It is well researched and goes into great detail. At times it is rather poignant, especially when a survivor of Stalag Luft 3 visits the parents of one of the Fifty after the war. Jonathan Vance has a very readable style and it is an excellent book for people like me to want to know more about the central characters in a true war story, where they came from and what happened to them after the war, etc. All this is in this book.

                                              A Gallant Company: The Men of the Great Escape must be regarded as a companion book to Paul Brickhill's The Great Escape.

                                              5 out of 5 stars A great story, told well........2001-01-20

                                              A welcome addition to the escape literature family. The focus is on the events within the Luft Stalag III itself, but there are quick sketches of the men's lives before the war, captures, and early escape attempts (althought this makes it sadder since one knows what's coming). The only weakness is a lack of footnotes, or bibliography.

                                              5 out of 5 stars Another excellent addition to the genre.......2001-01-03

                                              For those who are fans of the "prison escape" genre, this book is an excellent addition to the growing number of books which cover that most famous of mass escapes, the March 1944 "great escape" from Stalag Luft III.

                                              If, like myself, you have read and loved Paul Brickhill's "The Great Escape", but found yourself wanting more and deeper information, this book is a goldmine.

                                              During the prelude and epilog sections of the Brickhill book, the reader is teased with brief glimpses of people, places and events which are relevent to the main story, but which are (necessarily) not examined in detail. Some examples include the many early escape attempts by some of the Great Escape principals, the other prison camps in the Luftwaffe system, and the stories of most of the actual escapers themselves.

                                              "A Gallant Company" addresses all these issues. The reader gets to know each and every remarkable man who went through that tunnel, what circumstances brought them into the war, what role they played in the escape organization, and their fate following the escape. Individually and collectively, their story is an extraordinary one. Jonathan Vance's telling of it is engrossing and highly readable.

                                              This is not a book for the reader who is unfamiliar with the basic story, however. I would strongly recommend a read through the Brickhill book first -- a rewarding experience in itself. (Note: please, don't assume that the movie version is enough to cover this ground! A *fine* film, but a highly fictionalized adaptation!).

                                              Taken together with "The Great Escape" and Arthur Durand's excellent "Stalag Luft III - The Secret Story", Jonathan Vance's "A Gallant Company" provides as complete a picture as any escape story fan could possibly want.

                                              A minor quibble - I couldn't locate a source or citations section in this book. Where did Vance's wealth of information come from? I assume from personal interviews with camp survivors and family members, and many of the same sources named in the Durand book.

                                                What did the rule of law mean to eighteenth-century people, and how did it connect with changing experiences of law in all their bewildering complexity? Given the powerful claims for their importance in the governance of Georgian society, it is appropriate that over the last quarter century social and legal historians have engaged productively with law and legal institutions. But despite widespread agreement about Law's significance as a key to unlock so much which was central to contemporary life, taken as a whole this work offers a fragmented picture of the Laws in their social meanings and actions. The British and their Laws in the Eighteenth Century contributes fresh analyses of law in England and British settler colonies, c. 1680-1830. The authors consider broadly the issues of participation, central-local relations, and the maintenance of common law traditions in the context of increasing legislative interventions and grants of statutory administrative powers. David Lemmings suggests that viewed from these perspectives, popular relations with law were transformed. Legislation expanded the province of administrative authority out of all proportion, while the reach of the common law and its communal traditions of governance diminished, at least outside British North America. Here, perhaps, were the outlines of a legal regime appropriate for an imperial state.

                                                If you are interested in falconry at all, this is a MUST READ! The story takes you from the hack site to the beaches of Texas. I ordered this book for my boyfriend (now husband!) many years ago based on a review that I read in Sports Illustrated. I recently read it again and it was better the second time around (maybe because I know more about falcons, falconry and especially falconers than I did before!). It is a great story, it wont take you long to read and anyone who has ever loved a bird and let it go will really appreciate it!
