Taxing Illusions: Taxation, Democracy and Embedded Political Theory (Fernwood Basics series)

Book Description

Countering recent interest in promoting tax cuts in Canada, this study examines how taxation helps define the nature of a political community and the values of a political culture. By comparing two Saskatchewan tax reports from the early 1960s and the late 1990s, this treatise demonstrates how assumptions about taxation policy reflect and shape conceptions of democracy and citizenship and contends that tax cuts promote an individual-centered rather than a society-based policy that affirms community values.

Book Description

Of all the major Hollywood stars, Katharine Hepburn was the least conventional, conforming to none of the stereotypes of female superstardom. She was not an exotic outsider in Hollywood like Greta Garbo or Marlene Dietrich; nor was she a victim of the studios like Judy Garland or Marilyn Monroe; and she was certainly not a creature of the system like Joan Crawford and Lana Turner. Instead, she always appeared intelligent, willful and independent, able to develop her own persona within the confines of the studio system.

Andrew Britton proposes a feminist reading of Hepburn's films, arguing that her persona raises problems about class, female sexuality, and women's oppression that strain to the limits the conventions of a cinema ultimately committed to the reassertion of bourgeois gender roles. Hepburn's work is also used to explore more general issues, such as the functioning of the star system. This is one of the very few analyses of American cinema to focus on a film star rather than a director or a genre and as such is essential reading for anyone interested in the movies.

First published in the United Kingdom twenty years ago, this lavishly illustrated new edition features a foreword by the noted film critic Robin Wood.

Great Psychoanalytical Book about Kate's Roles .......2006-04-19

This book is probably one of the only books on Kate to not focus on her life, but on her movies. The author analyzes each one so intricately and finds how Hepburn was a premiere feminist in each one. It's interesting when you read about his analysis of several Tracy/Hepburn movies, as well as "The Philadelphia Story." The movies, according to the author, try to teach Hepburn a lesson and make her conform to the standards of the patriarchy. Interesting to note, the author also compares and contrasts several films of Bette Davis, Bacall/Bogart, and Astaire/Rogers with Hepburn's films as well. Excellent read- very professional. The best part about this book probably is that it's loaded with glossy, beautiful pictures from almost every movie Kate made.

A sharp and thought-provoking marvel!.......2001-06-19

This is a superb critical evaluation of all of Hepburn's film roles until 1984. It is the only book about Hepburn that did not disappoint me. Hepburn biographies and studies have often tended to "normalize" Hepburn (eg. Kate - Charles Higham) or rationalize some contradictory aspects of her personality (eg. A Remarkable Woman - Anne Edwards) based on *conclusions drawn from* material that is in media circulation. Andrew Britton, in refreshing contrast, meticulously examines the implied beliefs and thought processes *behind* such material. Hepburn, through Britton's book, emerges in an arena all her own, resisting all attempts at conventional compartmentalization.

I absolutely agree with his views on many movies, say, "Woman of the Year", where Hepburn's presence in the title role suggests an independence and authority which the film's contrived, though expertly acted, ending, tries (unsuccessfully) to suppress. His views on the "violence of the performance" in "Summertime", which makes "the film's project untenable", are also very apt.

Apart from a thorough examination of Hepburn's roles with Tracy, Grant and others, this book makes pointed comparisons between the spinster roles of Bette Davis and Hepburn. It also has a very original discussion on The Philadelphia Story (Hepburn), Ninotchka (Greta Garbo), and Destry Rides Again (Marlene Dietrich), which according to Britton, were attempts to humanize (and hence compromise) its three female stars, who had previously been labelled "box-office poison".

For fans of Hepburn, for serious followers of films, and for all those who are concerned about the hidden ideas that films (sometimes inadvertently) propagate into the filmgoer's mind, this is an objective, insightful book which should not be missed.

Being a fan of the Worst Case Scenario book series, I couldn't wait to get this calendar. However, the majority of material deals with "Today in Survival History" or "Today's Hero" rather than the now famous step-by-step survival instructions that are so amusing and/or useful in the books.

A comprehensive book detailing a difficult dharma.......2000-12-01

Dharma Book Devil Tiger does an excellent job of clarifying a single group within the world of the Kuei-jin...along the same lines as the previously released clanbooks for Vampire: The Masquerade. It provides clarification and most importantly *examples* of the abstract concepts previously presented in the core book. From the beginning story to the final character bios, the driving point is clear: Evil without purpose, for it's own sake, is mundane and not worth the energy expended clawing your way out of yomi. The only thing that distinguishes the devil tigers from ordinary demons is that they utilize their intimate knowledge of evil towards a purpose which serves Heaven: by punishing the unrighteous in their own way. They are by no means the "good guys" but as illustrated in the book, they serve a vital, if ugly, role in the WoD.

In addition, the new sects and organizations within the Devil Tigers add a nice sense of purpose vs. chaotic destruction while the opposing sects and philosophies add a much needed touch of realistic factionism to the groups. The Electric Money Wickness group in particular is also a nice updating of the Kuei-jin and their operations [considering that in many other works they come across as anachronistic] and puts them in league with their Ventrue financier counterparts. The character templates, while more basic, illustrative concepts than playable characters, each have a distinct voice and personality.

And to those who have complained about the graphic detail of the book, remember that the whole point of the WoD games is to explore darker themes in the safe [and most importantly, *imaginery* : for entertainment only.] setting of roleplaying: a story contributed to by the players. The entire premise is to weave fictional scenarios of 'personal horror'; how far are you willing to delve into the nature of horror?

More of the same.......2000-09-08

I really like the KoE system, but unfortunately the Devil-tiger book seems to be going into a lot of what White Wolf has been doing lately - let's get more graphic and outrageous when it's not really needed, and we'll sell more stuff. I like the CONCEPT of the devil-tigers, but frankly they go into unnecessary depth. It's one thing to involve violence such as rape in a plot, and say it happened, it's another to actually go and play it out in painful detail. Hope they get better with the next one.

Evil?.......2000-02-05

This books introduces you to the followers of the Devil Tigers Dharma. For those of you unfamiliar with the Kindred of the East system that means Clan. This guys really make look each other nasty of the World of Darkness like children. While all the other Tradition, Clan, Tribe books always have someone who assures you that they are the meanest of all the groups, they are ussually lost in their own schemes and petty politicing. That's not the point with the Devil Tigers, they have their feets firmly planted on the ground and of all the supernaturals around the World of Darkness, they have the realest agenda. Worth the reading even if you don't play on this system. Be warned though, you may not like all that you read.

Monsters?.......2000-01-18

This is a good book for the most part. The introductory story and much of the book focuses on explaining that the Devil Tigers are Demons or think that they are Demons. This makes for a pretty dark book. On the other hand, the thing that distinguishes them from western vampires is that they have something to do--punish the wicked. The only flaw is the pages on using Crimson rituals and artifacts in a live action game--the information appears identical to the info on how to run these artifacts in a standard game.

Book Description

Any software project that's worth starting will be vulnerable to risk. Since greater risks bring greater rewards, a company that runs away from risk will soon find itself lagging behind its more adventurous competition.

By ignoring the threat of negative outcomes—in the name of positive thinking or a Can-Do attitude—software managers drive their organizations into the ground.

In Waltzing with Bears, Tom DeMarco and Timothy Lister—the best-selling authors of Peopleware—show readers how to identify and embrace worthwhile risks. Developers are then set free to push the limits.

You'll find that risk management

* makes aggressive risk-taking possible
* protects management from getting blindsided
* provides minimum-cost downside protection
* reveals invisible transfers of responsibility
* isolates the failure of a subproject.

Readers are taught to identify the most common risks faced by software projects:

* schedule flaws
* requirements inflation
* turnover
* specification breakdown
* and under-performance.

Packed with provocative insights, real-world examples, and project-saving tips, Waltzing with Bears is your guide to mitigating the risks—before they turn into problems.

Common Sense advice for Project management.......2006-10-23

At a certain fundamental level, projects are about how well one manages the risks in the process of achieving the project objectives. Projects by their very nature and scope of effort entails some level of risk (major or minor), but unfortunately the concept of recognizing and managing the risks is sorely absent in majority of IT projects. And for those of us who have been involved in IT projects, this book is a stark reminder of how poorly risks are managed.

I found this book very useful in understanding the thought process behind risk management and more importantly the challenges and difficulties in implementing them. I have seen projects where Risk management is nothing more than symbolic maintenance of a risk log, which is more "CYA", than anything practically useful. Ofcourse, many other projects don't even maintain this token log too.

There are some striking observations in this book, which is commonsense, but gets lost in the thicket of our daily project management duties.
One of them is about the project delays:

"When a project strays from schedule, it's seldom because the work planned just took longer than anyone had thought; a much more common explanation is that the project got bogged down doing work that wasn't planned at all.
Most software project managers do a reasonable job of predicting the tasks that have to be done and a poor job of predicting the tasks that might have to be done."

Another one is about schedule estimates:
"Software managers have tended to follow a standard rule: The Estimate and the goal are identical. The discipline of risk management though will counsel you to use goals as you always have to help people strive for best performance. At the same time, it will prompt you to use a very different planning estimate when making promises to your clients and management.

Schedule = Goal = N -> Really dumb equation

Schedule > Goal > N -> Sensible (N =Nano-estimate)"

THis is so true. It always happens that whatever is the earliest
articulated date of completion automatically is considered the deadline, which is most of the time unrealistic and working against this timeline makes risk management even more impossible.

I woulf recommend this book to anyone intrested in reading about some common sense advice related to IT project management in general and Risk management in particular.

A necessity for *developers*.......2006-10-01

Read this unsystematic and occasionally glib book (I concede this point to other reviewers) and you will suddenly realize that you, your colleagues in development, your technical leads, and your CEO have probably all been lying to yourselves and to each other about every single "milestone". Risk analysis is not merely done badly most of the time. It's usually not done at all. I learned enough from this book on a Sunday to return to work the next day and successfully persuade my colleagues that our project plan was worthless, and we needed to come up with a new one *now* that properly took account of the risks. No, I'm not a risk analyst, but merely the effort of thinking about risk in a different way had a payoff. Before this, we were just driving blind.

This is the resource you need in your toolkit to stop the glazed eye syndrome?.......2006-05-19

Hardly. I'm not sure what the definitive source on risk managment for software projects is, but this isn't it. Not even a good primer.

Doubletalk, Optimism, and Magic.......2006-01-25

As far as I can tell, this book is driven by doubletalk, optimism, and magic.

DOUBLETALK:
Always take risks, we are told, because projects without risk don't have enough benefit. (A glib assertion, but.. OK.) Then we are told that we should never evade a risk - that is, we should never leave anything up to chance. In the middle here and there, we are told that risks won't go away. And finally, we are told that showstoppers are managed by promoting such risks to project assumptions with ceremonies... that evidently banish evil possibilities. The intent is to give managers the impression that they can take macho keen risks while controlling everything.

Sorry Guys. You can look both ways twice, but every time you cross the street, you stand a chance of losing your life. Deal with it.

OPTIMISM:
Those risk diagrams. The wonderful thing about them is that... they're bounded! Ya know what? I'd kill for one of those! Project Management might actually work for software development then! A bounded risk isn't a risk at all; it's a certainty with the possibility of coming in early in front of it.

Gee, Guys! Many of my risk diagrams are lognormal - and they come from histograms of historical data. You didn't cover those.

And finally there's the

MAGIC: Aside from the banishing rituals, there's the simulator based on magical industry averages. Wherever the data come from, and whatever it does, it doesn't have a large enough sample to make a stable... pie chart.

But that's just it. The book is great for pie chart mentalities, and every moment they spend reading it, they're staying out of my way.

Book Description

The result of nearly two decades of intensive research by Norman Mack and his late wife, Beatrice Davidow Mack, Missouri’s Silver Age: Silversmiths of the 1800s is a comprehensive directory of nineteenth-century Missouri silversmiths, their works, and their identifying makers’ marks. Illustrated with over one hundred photographs, this exceptional reference for historians and silver collectors showcases the Macks’ three-hundred-piece collection of Missouri silver, which includes a representative sample by nearly every known Missouri silversmith and is housed at the Missouri Historical Society in St. Louis.

Featuring more than a hundred detailed biographies of the artisans and apprentices who created handmade silver in St. Louis and Missouri during the nineteenth century, Missouri’s Silver Age also contains extensive photographs of makers’ touchmarks and of the pieces themselves, which include bowls, dishes, spoons, and ladles, as well as other household utensils and decorative items. Arranged alphabetically, the biographies reveal all known details of the business activities and locations of the silversmiths. Collectively, the entries and the illustrations shed light on the growth of enterprise in Missouri, show the impact of the individual on the developing frontier economies of the Midwest, and reveal how the production, acquisition, and possession of material goods reflected the culture and values of Americans during the 1800s.

Mack provides a brief but thorough history of silversmithing in America for novice collectors and historians, detailing the various methods used in making silver and the range of styles that were popular, providing insight into the methods of training apprentices, and explaining the effects of mechanization on the trade. Augmenting this volume are an appendix by Jo Ann Griffin on how to care for old silver, a map of the silversmiths’ primary locations, and a helpful alphabetical appendix of the silversmiths that includes illustrations of their touchmarks.

Biographies of 700+ individuals who have contributed significantly to the development of the state of Missouri with many achieving national fame as well. The book draws from all fields of activities--politics, business, science, religion, art, etc. without regard to race, gender, etc. Although the book seems a little pricy at first glance, I wasn't disappointed--the thoroughness and quality makes it well worth the price.

Book Description

The Treaty of Westphalia in 1648 is widely interpreted as the foundation of modern international relations. Benno Teschke exposes this as a myth. In the process he provides a fresh re-interpretation of the making of modern international relations from the eighth to the eighteenth century.

Inspired by the groundbreaking historical work of Robert Brenner, Teschke argues that social property relations provide the key to unlocking the changing meaning of 'international' across the medieval, early modern, and modern periods. He traces how the long-term interaction of class conflict, economic development, and international rivalry effected the formation of the modern system of states. Yet instead of identifying a breakthrough to interstate modernity in the so-called 'long sixteenth century' or in the period of intensified geopolitical competition during the seventeenth century, Teschke shows that geopolitics remained governed by dynastic and absolutist political communities, rooted in feudal property regimes.

The Myth of 1648 argues that the onset of specifically modern international relations only began with the conjunction of the rise of capitalism and modern state-formation in England. Thereafter, the English model caused the restructuring of the old regimes of the Continent. This was a long-term process of socially uneven development, not completed until World War I.

In Species of Origins, Karl W. Giberson and Donald A. Yerxa examine America's controversial conversation about creation and evolution. While noting that part of the discord stems from the growing cultural and religious diversity of the United States, they argue powerfully that the real issue is the headlong confrontation between two seemingly incompatible worldviews upon which millions of Americans rely: modern naturalistic science and traditional Judeo-Christian religions.

Unbiased only up to a point.......2006-12-17

This is a must-read in its field. The authors thoroughly present each viewpoint as seen by its adherents, making it possible for the reader to imagine what it might be like to know of no alternatives. This includes the simplistic extremes of scientific creationism, in which the earth is created in 6 days with an initial "appearance of history" in an Eden complete with belly buttons and tree rings, and naturalistic materialism, in which miracles, meaning events not merely novel but inexplicable in principle, never occur. And then there is "the muddle in the middle," the attempted compromises that "are, in their simplest form, contradictory."

But, nonpolemical intent notwithstanding, in the end the authors, professors of physics and history respectively at conservative Eastern Nazarene College, betray their bias. This occurs first when they "whimsically" adopt "the perspective of traditional religious believers" by applying to popularizers of science the pejorative label "Council of Despair," which "provides us with little reason to believe that the world might have a purpose and no reason to cling to the old-fashioned idea of hope." Readers will have to imagine for themselves the sensible and cheerful people who have no need of that hypotheses and who, absent tangible evidence of a universal "Who" as author of a universal "Why," see such an idea as old-fashioned anthropomorphism. So, while ID proponent William Dembski is quoted as calling naturalism a "disease," "the intellectual pathology of our age," it is for the reader to decide which viewpoint is pathological.

The second betrayal of bias is in regard to intelligent design, identified as an old argument which "in the late 1980s and early 1990s ...was revitalized by a cadre of talented advocates" and "a brilliant Berkeley law professor" (Philip Johnson). Some see them as neither talented nor brilliant, since the "intelligence" they so casually postulate could not credibly have been physical (having neither means of micro-manipulation of DNA nor a site for its own intelligence), leaving only the option of the so-called supernatural. Which surely appeals to those who believe in "purpose" given to, rather than arising within, the individual, but which others see as mere wish fulfillment. On which psychological grounds rests, in the end, this entire controversy.

Good science or philosophical differences?.......2005-12-29

For those interested in a helpful introduction into the conflict between science and religion the book by Giberson and Yerxa is a good place to begin. The authors describe in helpful detail (yet without too much technical jargon) the entire spectrum of America's search for an explanation for the origin of life. This spectrum runs from scientific creationism (a literal 6 day event) to scientific evolution and its conclusion that creation has spanned 5 billions years. In between these two extreme positions are several alternatives, each considered a via media or middle way. In this last category one will find intelligent design.

The book examines in particular the components of evolution, the thinking behind scientific creationism (3 chapters out of a possible 10) and the strategy of intelligent design. While providing a good overview of these competing voices, the book also isolates the main reason for the contention, namely a cultural war which pits naturalistic materialism (including evolution) against a theistic worldview, which holds to some kind of being (divine or superhuman) who has influenced creation in some way. After reading this book, one will come away with the feeling that the conflict may be more about philosophical differences than simply who does the best science.

The book is well written and well documented and includes the major players on all sides. The authors deal directly with an underlying tension: the extreme positions sacrifice clarity for truth and the middle positions hedge toward truth but at the cost of clarity.

This book will not replace reading the major players but it will surely provide an important overview by which one can begin to make sense of a public debate that will, in all likelihood, be around for a long time to come.

Incredible book.......2005-07-03

This is an incredible introduction into the "evolution-creation" debate, literally covering almost every position. Widely hailed as the most comprehensive intro book on the subject, this is how I would have gone about writing a book about the subject to be fair.

Most helpful book in the entire field.......2004-02-14

This is one of the only books in the emotionally charged field of creation-evolution that is fair to everyone. Most books in this field, like those of Richard Dawkins or Phillip Johnson, are nothing more than one-sided arguments for a particular viewpoint. The authors of this book have taken the time to read literally everybody and they summarize a vast sprectrum of ideas with clarity and balance. And they are good writers so the book is a pleasure to read.

The authors actually discuss 6 day creation respectfully and show why so many people like it. Instead of just heaping ridicule on creation, they help the reader understand why most Americans are attracted to it.

The best part though is when they have some fun with the extremist evolutionists. They call them "The Council of Despair" and quote their most nihilistic comments.

This is a good "first book" to read as it helps you see the whole controversy and then you can read further with their suggestions (they have a huge bibliography.) Or you can get the other books that Amazon always lists with it.
