The New Lifetime Legal Guide
Steven Mitchell Sack Manufacturer: Book-of-the-Month Club ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 1582880115 |
Book Description
The New Lifetime Legal Guide, like the original edition of this valuable work, was created to address the potential legal concerns of a typical family. Unlike other cumbersome and expensive legal guides assembled by committees of experts, The New Lifetime Legal Guide functions as a kind of first-aid manual for legal issues; organized alphabetically for easy access, it provides readers with the equivalent of a visit to a lawyer's office before they actually see a lawyer. Many of the articles included are on subjects that relate to everyone at some time or other, including commercial transactions, insurance, real estate, social security, taxes, and wills. Others cover situations you hope will never occur, but for which you need to be prepared: accidents, arrest, bankruptcy, discrimination, divorce, driving under the influence, litigations, spouse abuse, and workers' compensation. And now, included with this new, enlarged edition of The Lifetime Legal Guide, is a computer disk containing all of the book's letter and forms, each of which can be customized to suit the reader's particular circumstances when composing demand letters, checklists, and memos. The New Lifetime Legal Guide offers useful strategies and expert advice on handling virtually any legal decision most people will ever have to make.

Evolution and Escalation
Geerat J. Vermeij Manufacturer: Princeton University Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback ASIN: 0691000808 |
Book Description
This book is written for those who, like me, are fascinated with evolution, but I hope it will also be read by historians of human affairs. There are some obvious parallels between the history of life and the cultural history of man--the episodic pace of change the effects of crises, and the role of population growth, for example--and the fossil record teaches some sobering lessons about the futility of the seemingly unstoppable arms race between nations.

The Unprofessionals: A Novel
Julie Hecht Manufacturer: Random House ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover Similar Items: ASIN: 1400061741 Release Date: 2003-09-02 |
Book Description
There is no American writer alive who is funnier, more inquisitive, or more surprising than Julie Hecht. The Unprofessionals, her first novel, whose nameless narrator also told the stories in the author’s bestselling collection, Do the Windows Open?, is a mordant triumph. It follows the friendship between the narrator—a photographer in her late forties—and a young man whom she has known since his childhood and who has always shared the narrator’s dismay about the way Americans live now: our discount chain stores, our incomprehensible architecture, our preoccupation with pets, our lack of manners. As the narrator takes us through the various stages of this friendship, she also tells the story of the young man’s incongruous predicament on his path to heroin addiction and the absurdities of his attempted recovery. The Unprofessionals is in part a masterpiece of comic despair, in part an illumination of the customs and mores of a new and bewildering century, in part a hilarious and sad story of two outsiders who see the world with painful clarity—and, as a whole, a novel of unexampled originality.Customer Reviews:

The Professionals: (Is it) A Novel (?).......2004-04-12
I suppose the main character is revealed by her reactions to events in the boy's life, but not much. She is the same character who appears in the stories and much of this is a continuation of the stories which in themselves were somewhat chronological in the character's life. If a reader comes to this without having read any of the stories, he or she is bound to be lost.
I found the boy totally unsympathetic and not a believable character. I was much more interested in the main character's observations on modern life and her trips to various stores. I would have liked to learn more about her relationship with her husband. It's amazing that she has one. Who could live with her?
Anyhow, if she writes another book, I won't be reading it. Enough is enough.
Excited at first, then lost interest completely.......2004-02-26
After twenty pages I started to wonder where this novel was going, and then I found myself speed-reading to see if there was any developing story, and then I lost interest altogether. I almost never completely lose interest in a novel, especially one that is so promising to begin with, but this novel was dreadful. The protagonist is overbearingly anal and whiny and the story goes absolutely nowhere...it is though we are reading a diary, and a diary of a life that is simply rather boring and full of anxiety about anxiety. Five yawns to this one.....
Perfect Second Act.......2003-12-31
I look forward to re-reading this novel and reading what ever will come next.

A Jewish Family in Germany Today: An Intimate Portrait
Y. Michal Bodemann , and Y. Michal Bodemann Manufacturer: Duke University Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items:
ASIN: 0822334216 |
Book Description
Immediately after the Holocaust, it seemed inconceivable that a Jewish community would rebuild in Germany. What was once unimaginable has now come to pass: Germany is home to one of Europe’s most vibrant Jewish communities, and it has the fastest growing Jewish immigrant population of any country in the world outside Israel. By sharing the life stories of members of one Jewish family—the Kalmans—Y. Michal Bodemann provides an intimate look at what it is like to live as a Jew in Germany today. Having survived concentration camps in Poland, four Kalman siblings—three brothers and a sister—were left stranded in Germany after the war. They built new lives and a major enterprise; they each married and had children. Over the past fifteen years Bodemann conducted extensive interviews with the Kalmans, mostly with the survivors’ ten children, who were born between 1948 and 1964. In these oral histories, he shares their thoughts on Judaism, work, family, and community. Staying in Germany is not a given; four of the ten cousins live in Israel and the United States.

Founder: A Portrait of the First Rothschild and His Time
Amos Elon Manufacturer: Viking Adult ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover Similar Items:
ASIN: 0670868574 |
Amazon.com
Mayer Amschel Rothschild (1744-1812), patriarch of the Rothschild clan, fathered five illustrious sons who made the family name a by-word for banking, fabulous wealth, and Jewish philanthropy. Israeli historian Elon has pieced together the story of the dynasty's founding father, largely unrecorded heretofore. Mayer Amschel spent his life traveling between the humble Jewish ghetto of Frankfurt and the mansions of the prosperous Gentiles whom he served, particularly that of Prince Wilhelm of Hesse. Jews were severely restricted in most areas of their lives, and Rothschild had to conduct himself with appropriate servility in the presence of his masters. However, the displacements of the Napoleonic Wars gave the discreet Rothschild his chance to act as Wilhelm's agent, and his monopoly on the disbursement of the prince's loans was his entry into banking. It was all the start he needed.Customer Reviews:
Illuminating the Myth of Rothschild.......2003-10-03
Most important thing to note about this book, other then the observation that it is a very good book, is that author really does "paint" a portrait that includes both the Man AND his time.
I felt the attention to the society of Rothschild really paid off at the end of the book. Rothschild is important not merely because he generated a truly epic amount of wealth for his family, but because he serves as a symbol of the manner in which capitalism changed the lives of those who practiced it.
Certainly, the Rothschild clan has been the focus of much anti-semitism and conspiracy theory. As a Jew, I always felt such talk was ridiculous, but I was interested to find the so-called "grain of truth" which, coupled with a long standing, virulent history of anti-semitism served to transform the Rothschilds into a focus for so much bile.
For example, the Rothschild's lent signifigant amounts of capital to the family which held the postal monopoly for the Holy Roman Empire ("Thurn and Taxis" Post). This relationship enabled the Rothschild's to take advantage of the "intelligence gathering" capabilities of the Postal system to their benefit.
This was a theme at the heart of Thomas Pynchon's excellent novel "The Crying of Lot 49". Which I recommend to those who enjoyed in this book.
Like Niall Ferguson's two part saga of the family history, this book was written in cooperation with the Rothschild family.
I recommend this book both for the portrait of the man as well as the portrait of the place and time.
