Insurance Statistics Yearbook 1991/1998

Book Description

With a unique blend of candour and humour, Down the Road Never Travelled chronicles the arduous journey Brigitte Pellerin and her fellow researchers undertook in their attempts to track a tax dollar through one government spending program. Imagine coming home one evening and announcing to your significant other that the only way to truly understand how government worked was to study it from the ground up - to literally look into the sewer lines, leaking water mains, pothole-ridden roads and collapsing bridges of Canadian cities. This was Pellerin's goal when she embarked on an investigation of the Canada Infrastructure Works Program (CIWP), a government initiative that promised to repair the country's crumbling infrastructure and create jobs for Canadians. The task, Pellerin believed, would be relatively easy: to determine whether the government did what it said it would under this program. How hard could that be? As it turned out, it was nearly impossible.

A clear guide to a tough subject.......2007-04-10

Talk about a tought subject! Where DOES all that money go?
Pellerin will take you through the looking glass and explain just how Byzantine the tax dollar flow is in Canada.
In despair, I realize my tax dollars in the US probably have an even more convoluted flow.
It is as insightful as a book can be about a very murky subject.
Oh, and the bureaucrats! You will enjoy that part...

Book Description

Life's too Short to Be an Underdog… is the story of a boy and his dog…and another dog…and yet another one…well, several more after that.

Author Dave Smith boldly reveals the sometimes confusing, occasionally tragic, but always amusing history of the “Smith Family Dog Curse”. For so many years the family was denied in their attempts to cultivate a lasting bond with any dogs because of a series of mysterious events.

In the midst of the family's pain and heartache, one dog managed to beat the curse and became the inspiration of many spiritual insights for his beloved master. Dave opens up the family history book and invites you to laugh along, secretly hoping it doesn't cost him the vast family inheritance.

Life's too Short to Be an Underdog… is a book to share with friends, family, pet lovers, the criminally insane, and anyone else who knows how to read. It will bring smiles to faces of those who remember their own favorite doggie memories and challenge them to look for God's leading in the little things of life…even in the sometimes bizarre antics of a little dog named Ballpark.

Move over Hemingway....there's a new sheriff in town..........2006-03-17

I'm not sure that the title makes a lot of sense, because I'm not sure that Ernest Hemingway was ever in law enforcement....This is a very entertaining book. The stories are hilarious and will really connect with anyone who has ever owned dogs during their childhood. There's also a very good message within for people looking for the lighter side of Christianity. I wholeheartedly recommend this to anyone that needs something to remind them that walking the path is never easy, but that it can certainly be quite humorous.

I laughed, I cried, it was better than Cats!.......2006-01-05

I must say that Dave Smith is a very entertaining writer. I truly hope that he contributes more to the literary world with other gems like this one. He has quite a knack for looking at the humorous side of everything, and then brings it into a spiritual realm in a very real, very meaningful manner. I would highly recommend anyone who enjoys pets to read the book, with a word of caution. As described in the synopsis, some of the family pets do, in fact, die. Tragic, I know, but quite a life lesson. Buy the book, you will not be disappointed.

Book Description

ABBA, Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody", Wayne's World I and II. David Bowie. Blaxploitation. Platform shoes. Bathhouses. The Brady Bunch. The Brady Bunch Movie. Boogie Nights.
Not only were the '70s filled with cultural icons and phenomena galore, but today we are increasingly seeing a resurgence of styles and elements of that wacky era in between the decade of the left and the decade of the right. The Seventies delves into these themes and reveals what they meant at the time and what their recurrence means for us today.
Liberally illustrated with photographs, the book is divided into five sections: Re/Defining the Seventies, Identifying Genres, Fashioning the Body, Queering the Seventies, and Talking Music. The contributors take you on a fascinating journey that looks at the Black Panthers, Jonestown, glam rock, black action films and gay male subcultures as well as including queer rereadings of cultural phenomena, examinations ofclothing and seventies bodies, and an essay on the meaning of sound in the seventies.
The Seventies is must reading for anyone who wants to revisit that glam decade and the contributions it made to our culture.
Contributors: Vince Aletti, Jennifer DeVere Brody, Van M. Cagle, David Allen Case, Christopher Castiglia, Anne-Lise Francois, Randolph Heard, Charles Kronengold, Greil Marcus, Cindy Patton, Stephen Rachman, Sohnya Sayres, Michael E. Staub, Amber Vogel and Shelton Waldrep.

Post-Modern Theory at its Most Half-baked.......2000-05-01

As fun as pop culture theory can be, too often it merely signifies what those suspicious of academia suspect lurks in every college campus across America. It's an unfair assessment, of course - anti-intellectualism is just as boorish as intellectualism - and yet, when one reads a book like this, it's difficult not to sympathize with the critics.

A collection of fourteen essays concerning the 1970's, this book, compiled by Shelton Waldrep, attempts to investigate just how the 1970's affected popular culture (American popular culture, of course, although that's not explicitly stated). This sounds interesting, but the theorists sampled in the book are writing from a viewpoint which suffers multiple drawbacks - the lowbrown-driven highbrow.

It's all good fun to pose theories of retro-chic and falsely-constructed nostalgia using the movie "Wayne's World" as a primary source (as Stephen Rachman does), but to what greater end? It's amusing to read how Cindy Patton compares J.L. Austin's critical analysis of words and language to "The Opening of Misty Beethoven," a porno flick, but why bother?

While articles such as Sonhya Sayres' exploration of the Jonestown massacre and Van Cagle's look at glitter and The New York Dolls are at least well-written and intelligently posed, the majority of this book is insulting to both the intelligence of highbrows and the concerns of the so-called "lowbrows" that this popular culture is supposedly aimed at. By deconstructing bellbottom fashions, say, or blaxploitation flicks, we come no closer to the "meaning" of popular culture or the forces that drive it, but merely drive a wedge between the intended audience and the apparent intellectuals who desperately need "lowbrow trash" in order to justify their upcoming journalistic essays

Only Greil Marcus's closing essay, concerning the death of 60's idealism as embodied in Bob Dylan's "Self Portrait," remains true to either the spirit of intelligent criticism or the joy of popular culture. Read this for a laugh, or to shake your head at the sorry state of academia. Otherwise, don't clutter your mind with this stab at faux-elitism.

Clever, witty, and profound.......2003-10-20

I know Rich. He's an honest, brilliant, and giving person and his book is not only a recap of his steps to success (that almost anyone can adopt) but it's also an inspiring read for corporate execs, volunteers, executive coaches, and middle managers - not to mention the mainstream John & Jane Doe. Worth more than its cover price, this is a must-read that's fun to review again and again.

Sorry Richard.......2003-05-26

Despite its 120-plus pages, this book takes about 15 minutes to read. While it offers a handful of ideas worth considering, it isn't worth the cover price. If Richard Hatch were not the winner of the first Survivor, this work would have been published on a personal Web site somewhere and that would be all. If you want it, buy it used.

More Fluffer from which to Suffer the Puffer.......2001-08-01

I was anxious to write this self-help/autobiography/shameless self-promotional piece off as an attempt to cash in on the fifteen minutes of fame awarded by the Survivor phenomenon. However, I got to tell you, this book not only contained alterable ideas for everyone but also inspired me to peruse its pages in the buff. Thank you Richard Hatch for liberating so many parts of myself.

self promoting.......2001-07-22

While some may find the ideas in this book fresh or helpful, I found the book to be full of self promotion. It's title should be changed to "Me, ME & Me." Don't waste your money.

Bio at the beginning was the best part........2001-03-20

I picked this up in the bookstore because I was amazed at what people will spend their hard-earned money on. Not to mention the unappealing cover. Really, if you are getting life advice from gameshow winners, you need all the advice you can get! I figure 2 to 3 stars for the advice, and the biography makes it a solid three stars.

But, I was very interested in his short bio. I grew up in the same town, went to the same high school, and had some of the same teachers. It was very interesting to read another person's viewpoint on the area. Especially knowing more about him. I cannot tell you about the years afterward, but his description of the area and his treatment throughout school is very accurate. He is not exaggerating or making up anything there.

Book Description

Software Development for the QUALCOMM BREW Platform provides a soup-to-nuts examination of what it takes to design, develop, and deploy commercially viable applications for the QUALCOMM BREW platform. This new platform for wireless development is the solutions for delivering video and color games onto cell phones as you have seen in television advertisements. QUALCOMM Binary Runtime Environment for Wireless (BREW) is a development platform that allows software developers to create applications that operate on all handsets that utilize the QUALCOMM CDMA chipsets. With over a million BREW-enabled handsets having shipped in the first year of BREW's availability and successful deployment with both a major domestic carrier (Verizon Wireless, with over five million subscribers) and overseas carriers (Telesp and KTF, with other carriers presently running trials with BREW), BREW is poised to become an important player in the wireless handset space. BREW offers a number of key advantages over other software environments for today's handsets to both carriers and software developers, including secure application licensing, integrated billing for application purchases, and down-to-the-metal APIs for high-performance applications including multimedia and gaming applications. Software Development for the QUALCOMM BREW Platform will begin with an introduction to BREW and how it differs from its competitors (J2ME, Palm OS, Symbian, and Pocket PC Phone Edition). After this orientation, the reader learns about what it takes to develop applications for BREW - not just development tools, but the methodology required to bring an application to a carrier for distribution.

Quallcomm Brew Platform book review.......2005-08-02

Well, being that I can only find 2 books on the subject.. :)
This one is ok. If you are going to be a developer for brew you might as well get it. I did like the other book I got better (Wireless game dev in c/c++ with brew) even though I am not making a game. Both have insight but you have to throw in your own creativity because there are differences (at the time these books were published there was only a couple versions of the sdk so they focus on versions 1 and 2)

Excellent introduction..........2004-06-26

Rischpater's book is an excellent introduction, reviewing both the existing documentation and the various gotchas you're likely to run into when starting BREW development. He organizes the work by the kinds of things you're likely to do (gui, network, etc.), making it easy to start reading the book, get comfortable with the tools and Ray's style, and then skip to things that relate to the application you're trying to write.

Especially helpful is Ray's inclusion not just of sample code, but of an empty sample application which is powerful enough to be the basis of a complete application. Not simply a "Hello World", I use this starting point now any time I work with BREW, both when trying things out and when actually building a real application.

It's a good complement to Barbagallo's book, especially if you're not writing games. I have both, and look at Rischpater's more often now that I've read both.

stay away!.......2004-06-15

This book simply rehashes Qualcomm's SDK docs and adds some sloppy example code and some absolutely incorrect statements about BREW. I know people who have contracted work to the author's BREW software company. The company described many technical limitations of BREW, which were later proved simply not true. The company's programmers simply did not understand BREW. This book continues in that tradition.

You are better off sticking with Qualcomm's SDK docs, which are skimpy but more correct and concise than this book. If you really want a gentle intro to BREW, Ralph Barbagallo 's "Wireless Game Development in C/C++ With Brew" is OK, but you will still need Qualcomm's SDK docs.

Book Description

As a veteran war correspondent, Chris Hedges has survived ambushes in Central America, imprisonment in Sudan, and a beating by Saudi military police. He has seen children murdered for sport in Gaza and petty thugs elevated into war heroes in the Balkans. Hedges, who is also a former divinity student, has seen war at its worst and knows too well that to those who pass through it, war can be exhilarating and even addictive: “It gives us purpose, meaning, a reason for living.”

Drawing on his own experience and on the literature of combat from Homer to Michael Herr, Hedges shows how war seduces not just those on the front lines but entire societies, corrupting politics, destroying culture, and perverting the most basic human desires. Mixing hard-nosed realism with profound moral and philosophical insight, War Is a Force That Gives Us Meaning is a work of terrible power and redemptive clarity whose truths have never been more necessary.

Busting the Myth of Redemptive Violence.......2007-09-01

This book and its message is NOT an assertion that all war is inherently wrong and that there is no distinction between the administration of justice and the return of evil for evil. It is an assertion that aggressive militarism, the glorification of warfare, the failure to recognize that it is born of sin and human failure and the pimping of it by religious and political institutions is misguided at best and possibly disastrous when not discerned and/or allowed to go unchecked by Godly, moral reflection.

Very often, pacifism is equated with passiveness, even though there is no linguistic link between the two words. Therefore, the application of pacifism, or anything approaching pacifism, is regarded as disastrous.
In a certain sense perhaps pacifism and passiveness are similar. To be passive means to receive or be subject to an action without responding or initiating an action in return. But passiveness also implies that one is not participating, that one is inert. In this sense nothing could be farther from the truth.

At any rate, Hedges does not profess to be a pacifist- although I believe in a certain sense of the word that he is. Nowadays I consider myself a pacifist or peacemaker with regards to warfare. What that means to me is not a belief that all violence is always wrong no matter what. It does mean that I judge any given situation with a spiritual discernement. It means that I choose violence as a solution last... not first. It means that I do not hate my enemies, but rather love them and consider my ultimate enemy not my fellow man... but the spiritual forces of darkness in the celestial realm as the Bible teaches. It means that I know that the power to give life is far greater than the power to kill and destroy. It means that I think eternally and act spiritually inasmuch as I am able as a weak and pitiful sinner and carnal man. It means that I leave room for God's plan and God's sovereign right to vengeance before my own. It means that I do not fear death... and am thus not controlled by fear in my actions or reactions... inasmuch as I am able. I believe that this book ul;timately reveals that Mr. Hedges feels essentially the same way.

Chris Hedges is the son of a Presbyterian minister, the Rev. Thomas Hedges. He has a B.A. in English Literature from Colgate University and a Master of Divinity from Harvard Divinity School, where he studied under James Luther Adams. Thus, Mr. Hedges' view of the world and of warfare are undoubtedly colored by theology. Hedges is currently a senior fellow at The Nation Institute in New York City and a Lecturer in the Council of the Humanities and the Anschutz Distinguished Fellow at Princeton University. He spent nearly two decades as a foreign correspondent in Central America, the Middle East, Africa and the Balkans. He has reported from more than fifty countries, and has worked for The Christian Science Monitor, National Public Radio, The Dallas Morning News and The New York Times, where he spent fifteen years.

Hedges' has a stinging, no punches pulled, no holds barred style of writing that I personally find very strong and inspiring. This book "War Is A Force That Gives Us Meaning", is one of the few books that so deeply inspired me that I read it straight through as quickly as possible. The book left me a bit disenchanted and in a brooding mood in the end. The realization of the validity of Hedges' perspective and cultural commentary is a bitter pill to swallow for anyone who values true freedom and moral truth. This is heavy material for a moral, freethinking person to reflect on.

Here are two excerpts from the book that I discovered when skimming through it at the bookstore that made me buy this book:

1. "We make our heroes out of clay. We laud their gallant deeds and give them uniforms and put colored ribbons on their chests for acts of violence they commit or endure. They are our repositories of glory and honor- of power, self righteousness, patriotism and self worship - all that we want to believe about ourselves. They are our plaster saints of war- the icons we cheer to defend us and make us and our nation great. But they are part of our civic religion- our love of power and force. Our belief in our right as a chosen nation to wield this force against the weak and rule. This is our nation's idolatry of itself- and it has corrupted our religious institutions just as it has corrupted religious institutions in other nations- fusing the will of God with the will of the State to create a potent and deadly form of idolatry."

2. "War from a distance seems noble. It gives us a feeling of belonging, of comradeship, of power, a chance to play a small bit in the great drama of human history. It promises to give us an identity as a warrior, a patriot, a believer- as long as we go along with the myth- the one the war makers need to wage war. But, up close, war is a soulless void. The world of war descends to barbarity, perversion, pain and an unchecked orgy of death. It is a state where human decency and tenderness is crushed- where those who make war work overtime to reduce all love and sensitivity to smut and filth.
In war the moral order is turned upside down. All that is repulsive and feared in peacetime is lauded and cheered in war. The noise, the stench, the cries of pain, the eviscerated bodies, the bloated stinking corpses spin us into another universe. And in this moral void, often blessed by the church or the mosque or the synagogue- the hypocrisy of our social conventions, our strict adherence to religious edicts and virtues and utter refusal to honor others comes unglued. War, for all its horror, has the power to strip away the trivial and the banal, the empty chatter and self righteous obsessions that fill our days. It lets us see."

Whether you agreee with Mr. Hedges' take or not... his offering is/should be an important part of the dialog on these topics. I give the book my highest endorsement.

Prescient.......2007-08-12

A well argued work, the most amazing thing about it in hindsight is how while written before the Iraq invasion, and without once referring to its immenence, Hedges predicted so much of what has occurred in Iraq--how the 9/11 victims would become martyr fodder, the destruction of Iraqi culture, the connection between torture and pornography, the inciting of latent and rather benign ethnic differences into endless blood feuding by those who wish to perpetuate the fighting. Utilizing classic literature, an in depth understanding of conflict throughout history, and his own first hand experience as a war correspondent for decades, Hedges makes his argument that war is hell not a video game, and, while no, it's not a new one, we shouldn't as a result be going to war every time a kid who is well known for lying cries "wolf."

Thoughtful meditation on the wages of war.......2007-06-14

This book is basically a philosophical, psychological essay/meditation on war and its role in human life. At times it reads like a whirlwind tour of the atrocities and cruelties that humans have visited on one another. Hedges was a war correspondent for over a decade and traveled to many of the world's war zones, including Central America during the 1980's, the Balkans, and the Middle East. Hedges' experiences in these places obviously had a profound impact on him, and this book is essentially a collection of his impressions. Hedges seeks to situate war within the human consciousness. Using literature and actual political proclamations, he demonstrates that war is often depicted as the highest human calling, in which young men and women gain the opportunity to achieve heroism and fight (and often die) for lofty ideals. This is contrasted with the humdrum and monotony of everyday life in which many people struggle vainly to find some meaning in their lives. One of Hedges' goals is to shatter this romantic myth of war by exposing the carnage and emotional and physical destruction that it unleashes and the lies, foisted by political leaders, that undergird it. A good portion of the book follows a particular pattern. Hedges will make a general observation about "war," such as, "In times of war, such and such thing tends to happen." He then provides specific examples to back up his generalization. Probably my favorite aspect of this book was Hedges' savage indictment of nationalism. I have studied nationalism and its origins from an academic point of view (Gellner, Benedict Anderson), but Hedges here provides a compelling and damning depiction of the ways in which nationalist sentiments serve to mobilize people to commit the most barbaric acts. He provides numerous examples of how political leaders have exploited nationalist rhetoric to stir up animosities among communities for their own political gain, and how these communities far too gullibly often fall for this tactic. While fundamentalist religion in recent years has justifiably gained attention as a source of conflict, nationalism, which also creates artificial us versus them distinctions, has not garnered as much criticism.

This book is not a policy manual. Hedges concedes early on that, despite the cruely and barbarism of war, he is not a pacifist and that military action is often necessary. However, he is infuriatingly vague about what those conditions are under which war should be regarded as justified. He also takes pains to argue that he is not a moral relativist; in most conflicts, one can justifiably identify one particular side as being morally superior (or, at least, less immoral) than the other, but he doesn't clarify what criteria to use to make that distinction. In sum, this isn't the book to read if you are looking for any sort of moral guidance on when war is justified. But alas, this is probably an unfair criticism, since Hedges seeks here to write a more meditative reflection on the costs of war. Overall, I would recommend this short book (I read it in a couple of sittings) to anyone seeking such a philosophical reflection.

war is a force that gives us meaning.......2007-06-04

Chris Hedges uses past experiences to describe the reality of war. He uses what he calls "sensory reality", where people look at war in terms of what it really is as opposed to trying to justify it, making it a heroic movement. In one of his chapters he also describes "mythic reality" which he says is unfortunately used throughout the majority. Mythic reality is where people sugar coat the war in order to turn it into a success for their people. Hedges describes how the people of today try to use our constant need to fight as something to enlighten our country, they use this mythic reality in order to make themselves either the victim of the war or the heroic figure which textbooks constantly portray. As he's experienced a lot through war, he uses facts from what he himself has witnessed in order to prove that war is not a heroic event, it's rather just a brutal fight that our modern day justifies in order to be proud.
As the media today is trying to recruit, Hedges also discusses how the war is taught to the youth as something exciting, heroic and worst of all something to look forward to in order to find yourself.
Hedges is a magnificent author, ready to back up all of his points with facts from his past experience. I have nothing negative to say towards any of his theories as he has proven reality and is the one person who has let the world read the truth rather than what the textbooks say.

A Book for the Times.......2007-05-30

Prompted by reading Mr. Hedges' article on the same topic in The Nation, I wanted to read more. His book should be a 'must' reading in today's world; I have yet to read a better treatment of this timely and emotional subject.

"You are about to go on a wondrous journey, into a future firmly based on the technology we now possess, to a world where people not only survive but thrive on the Red Planet. Emphatically not science fiction but written as though it were real history by a second-generation Martian colonist, here is the detailed, fascinating story of how the colonization of Mars began... and what everyday life on Mars would be like. A new race of genetically different vegetarian people, great hydrogen-filled airships for transportation, a society with no money and free food and housing, and a cold, oxygen-poor planet transformed into a thoroughly habitable home... 'The Greening of Mars' shows you how it may come about sooner than you think!"
