Book Description
Reviews of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology attempts to provide concise, critical reviews of timely advances, philosophy, and significant areas of accomplished or needed endeavor in the total field of xenobiotics in any segment of the environment, as well as toxicological implications.
Book Description
In this characteristically graceful and provocative book, Jerome Bruner, one of the principal architects of the cognitive revolution, sets forth nothing less than a new agenda for the study of mind. According to Professor Bruner, cognitive science has set its sights too narrowly on the logical, systematic aspects of mental life--those thought processes we use to solve puzzles, test hypotheses, and advance explanations. There is obviously another side to the mind--a side devoted to the irrepressibly human acts of imagination that allow us to make experience meaningful. This is the side of the mind that leads to good stories, gripping drama, primitive myths and rituals, and plausible historical accounts. Bruner calls it the "narrative mode," and his book makes important advances in the effort to unravel its nature.
Drawing on recent work in literary theory, linguistics, and symbolic anthropology, as well as cognitive and developmental psychology Professor Bruner examines the mental acts that enter into the imaginative creation of possible worlds, and he shows how the activity of imaginary world making undergirds human science, literature, and philosophy, as well as everyday thinking, and even our sense of self.
Over twenty years ago, Jerome Bruner first sketched his ideas about the mind's other side in his justly admired book On Knowing: Essays for the Left Hand. Actual Minds, Possible Worlds can be read as a sequel to this earlier work, but it is a sequel that goes well beyond its predecessor by providing rich examples of just how the mind's narrative mode can be successfully studied. The collective force of these examples points the way toward a more humane and subtle approach to the investigation of how the mind works.

Rounding Out The Picture Of Bruner's Work.......2000-07-10
Reading Bruner is as easy as putting on a wet suit just out of the drier. Many times, he obfuscates his language such that it is a struggle to capture the meaning. And he is an addicted name-dropper.
But he is still worth reading, and this collection adds to the portrait of his thinking, so in that sense, I warmly recommend it. I particularly enjoyed his chapter on Vygotsky's influence on psychology and education--enough so that I will begin to go down that road and pursue some of his books.
What I like most of Bruner's work is his regard for the cultural influences working in tandem with the individual's cognitive self--he respects both aspects.
Whoever heard of putting a wetsuit in a drier?

If on a Winter's Night a Traveler is a marvel of ingenuity, an experimental text that looks longingly back to the great age of narration--"when time no longer seemed stopped and did not yet seem to have exploded." Italo Calvino's novel is in one sense a comedy in which the two protagonists, the Reader and the Other Reader, ultimately end up married, having almost finished If on a Winter's Night a Traveler. In another, it is a tragedy, a reflection on the difficulties of writing and the solitary nature of reading. The Reader buys a fashionable new book, which opens with an exhortation: "Relax. Concentrate. Dispel every other thought. Let the world around you fade." Alas, after 30 or so pages, he discovers that his copy is corrupted, and consists of nothing but the first section, over and over. Returning to the bookshop, he discovers the volume, which he thought was by Calvino, is actually by the Polish writer Bazakbal. Given the choice between the two, he goes for the Pole, as does the Other Reader, Ludmilla. But this copy turns out to be by yet another writer, as does the next, and the next.
The real Calvino intersperses 10 different pastiches--stories of menace, spies, mystery, premonition--with explorations of how and why we read, make meanings, and get our bearings or fail to. Meanwhile the Reader and Ludmilla try to reach, and read, each other. If on a Winter's Night is dazzling, vertiginous, and deeply romantic. "What makes lovemaking and reading resemble each other most is that within both of them times and spaces open, different from measurable time and space."
Book Description
Calvino shows that the novel, far from being a dead form, is capable of endless mutations. If on a winter’s night a traveler turns out to be not one novel but ten, each with a different plot, style, ambience, and author. Translated by William Weaver. A Helen and Kurt Wolff Book
Customer Reviews:
one of the great modern experiments with the novel.......2007-06-19
Italo calvino's fascinating study of the novel which confronts the reader in a very direct fashion is one of the best books of the last 50 years.. It is right up in the same category as marquez' 'one hundred years of solitude', in my humble opinion.. Despite the constant shifting and shuffling of stories the book somehow maintains a whole, a brilliant structure.. I would highly recommend this book for anyone willing to delve into the form of the novel and how different stories can be told simultaneously and actually increase your love of reading..
Lightning quick and smooth.......2007-04-22
Great collection of short apocrypha, told parallel to a love story between two readers; Calvinos self-referential style and the breadth of the vignettes makes this a quick read with memorable results.
Strange but beautifuly strange.......2007-04-22
WOW what a strange book!
I mean, have you ever thought about how huge your reading passion is? To be honest I didn't. Of course I love to read and on question "Without what you can imagine your life?" my answer always includes books but what would you do (not in literally of course) to find your missing book and to heal your reading fever? I'm not sure I ever felt that agonizing reading fever - until now. I know sounds silly but let me explain:
Of course when you enjoy enormously in book you're reading you'll finish it in one swallow and maybe (probably) reread some of its parts or entire book; maybe you'll copy some quote in your special notebook and memorize them etc. and that is I guess normal destiny after meeting right book with right reader. But imagine this situation: You're reading one of the best books you've ever read and you're aware of that fact so you're eating, drinking, breathing pages, one after another; film is rolling in your mind, you thinking about surprise on the next page and you're running to see what is behind the corner and then ... nothing... blank wall, no streets, no cars, no people, no nothing ... blank page.... OK maybe this is printing error, maybe after that blank page the story will continue ... imagine that state of mind: no rereading, no quotes, no following of your new friends destiny. You're feeling cheated. Isn't that horrible? Oh it is, it is...
And this book is about that sudden emptiness you're feeling and that desperate search to find next page. And yes, the main character is "You" (dear reader), and yes precisely you are feeling tachycardia and yes your blood pressure is rising in that dark, surreal chase ... for a book (imagine this!)
This postmodern novel is some sort of reader's nightmare, always in search for your book or women (or both), or feeling writer's agony. This book is from time to time dark, totally surrealistic, and breathtakingly inventive. Did I mention that "You" are the main protagonist?
With its 260 pages some might think it's easy, light read but no, not easy read at all; sometimes you just need to rest a little bit to digest all what you eat so far (and it's a quite menu), this book is for savoring, for letting each sentence to melt slowly on your tongue. Or that is case with me who doesn't read several novels in the same time. However for some of you who practice that, reading this book will be, most likely, different experience.
Here I'd like to include one quote I like very much:
"Reading is always this: there is a thing that is there, a thing made of writing, a solid, material object, which cannot be changed, and through this thing we measure ourselves against something else that is not present, something else that belongs to the immaterial, invisible world, because it can only be thought, imagined, or because it was once and is no longer, past, lost, unattainable, in the land of the dead...
... Or that is not present because it does not yet exist, something desired, feared, possible or impossible. Reading is going toward something that is about to be, and no one yet knows what it will be"
'Literature' vs. 'Fiction', the smack-down.......2007-04-11
This is a tough book to review. In part because I'm not sure how I feel about it. It's one part interesting, one part dull, and one part vexing. Sadly, the first chapter was the absolute best, and the humor and fun found there is not carried throughout the rest of the book. It's not that I mind the starting and stopping of numerous story snippets. The fact that those tales were not complete does not really bother me, though that may be because I only found one or two even remotely engaging, and several of them downright dull or just plain weird. Throughout the book you're told about how these stories end at climactic moments, leaving you wanting more - but for the most part, I felt relief when those bits were over, because I felt they were but a brief interruption into the `main' story. And I felt that the `main' story was working towards something, until I got about 2/3 or the way through and it took a detour through Weirdsville from which it never returned. The `falsehoods' and `lies' bits and secret police upon secret police and the spy who might be her, but maybe not, but what does it matter... Oh, for god's sake just tell a story! Get. To. The. Point. Oh, that's right, there wasn't one. In the end, I have to say that the very last bit (about the only two ways a story could end, and `your' abrupt decision) was cute, but certainly not the culmination I had hoped for. It never really tied itself up, or came to a coherent point. It just... ends.
If blogging had been around in Calvino's time I would have said that this book was nothing more than a way he strung together a bunch of snippets written, perhaps, in response to writing group prompts that he was proud of, but didn't really see how to develop. Then he gave all the bits titles that would work (that was, I admit, clever) and threw them into the middle of a story - a weird story - that waxed poetic about readers, writers, and counterfeiters.
Now, it wasn't all bad. Very few books get that distinction, though I have read a few. The translator deserves a huge round of applause for making the text flow so very well. Unless, of course, the original story in Italian is about Zombie Armadillos that decimate the human species. Then I'd say he didn't stay faithful in his translating (though I can't say I might not have found Zombie Armadillos a touch more interesting). But the words were very... smooth and creamy; flowing very masterfully. And if that is what you like in a book, then by all means, this is a great book. If you love language more than the actual stories it tells, this is a book for you.
In reading this book, and reading about readers, I did realize a bit about myself. When I read (at least, when I read a good book), I am almost transported into the story. I like books I can really get into. While I'm reading, the text is flowing around me, creating a picture and a setting in my mind. In that sense, I'm not so much concentrating on the language as much as the meaning. My head transforms the words into my own little movie, and I become engrossed in it. So you can just tell me, "You're in a meadow" and my mind creates a meadow. You do not need to go into beautiful flowing detail about all the flowers in the meadow. My mind puts them there, and I can `see' them, when you say "meadow." Move on to the point! This is a novel, a story, so tell it to me!
This is not to say I can't appreciate beautiful prose. In a paragraph, a good turn of phrase, or something short and pretty, yes, I love it as much as the next person. But to create a novel of it... no, that doesn't work for me. I need plot. If I don't get plot, my mind wanders into a plot of my own and I lose interest in the book. Then I'm just daydreaming.
This book was not for me, but it was well written, in terms of the language used. The plot was sadly lacking, and because of the odd 2nd person POV used throughout a lot of the book, you don't really get much of a sense of the characters. I would only recommend it to people who either 1) love language and the use of it more than the story or 2) think saying you read a book by Calvino would elevate you in literary status and make you look all smart-like. I hesitate to say I'm sorry I read it, but I would never ever-ever read anything by him again, even though this is not supposed to be representative of his work...
A fabulous fabulist for the patient traveler.......2007-03-31
My first impressions of this novel almost misled me into putting the book away for another, which I almost never do. It seemed that the writer was working too hard to be coy, cute, precious and intrusive with his readers and I resented it. When the artifice is overpowering, as I find is sometimes the case in reading Pynchon, then the literary value of the work seems somehow diminished. Fortunately, I was able to see Calvino as a fabulist for which more patience in the willing suspension of disbelief should be granted, much like Jose Saramago, for example, and my patience with Calvino was rewarded. After all, fables by their nature work within a structure where the artifice is simply inherent in the literary medium. Calvino turns upside-down the conventions of plot design and pushes its bounds until the reader understands that his apparently absurd story line unfolds much like life reveals itself. When he manages to pull off this effect and the artifice-laden fable assumes an astonishing versimilitude, then one has to give him credit for great invention in his narrative style and I do. "Myths and mysteries consist of impalpable little granules, like the pollen that sticks to the butterfly's legs; only those who have realized this can expect revelations and illuminations." (p. 254) If you believe that every novel must have a beginning, middle and end, then read Calvino patiently and enjoy the journey as well as the destination.

Tony Hillerman is a national treasure, having achieved critical acclaim, chart-topping popularity, and a sterling reputation as an ambassador between whites and Indians. Fortunately, he's also still a marvelous writer, much imitated but never equaled. The Sinister Pig--his 16th novel to feature Navajo cops Joe Leaphorn and/or Jim Chee--isn't his best book, but it's still a pleasure from the first page to the last. Its plot is almost too complex to summarize, involving the mysterious shooting of an ex-CIA agent, financial shenanigans around oil-and-gas royalties, disappearing congressional interns, exotic pipeline technology, and the cross-border trade in both drugs and illegal aliens.
Officer Bernadette Manuelito has left the Navajo Tribal Police for the U.S. Customs Service, patrolling the barren borderlands of southern New Mexico. There, her curiosity and smarts land her in a growing peril that provides much of the book's suspense--and invokes the protective instincts of Sergeant Chee, who still hasn't quite been able to tell her how he feels about her. It's impossible not to care about Hillerman's exquisitely drawn repertory characters, nor to overlook the pleasures of his beautifully crafted and relaxed-seeming prose. In the midst of these virtues are a few warts: several sections are a little flat or awkward, and the villainous plutocrat behind it all is short on plausibility (though lots of fun to hate). But even a lesser Hillerman is still a richer, more satisfying read than most authors' top stuff. --Nicholas H. Allison
Book Description
Sergeant Jim Chee of the Navajo Tribal Police is troubled by the nameless corpse discovered just inside his jurisdiction, at the edge of the Jicarilla Apache natural gas field. More troubling still is the FBI's insistence that the Bureau take over the case, calling the unidentifiedvictim's death a "hunting accident."
But if a hunter was involved, Chee knows the prey was intentionally human. This belief is shared by the "Legendary Lieutenant" Joe Leaphorn, who once again is pulled out of retirement by the possibility of serious wrongs being committed against the Navajo nation by the Washington bureaucracy. Yet it is former policewoman Bernadette Manuelito, recently relocated to Customs Patrol at the U.S. -- Mexico border, who possibly holds the key to a fiendishly twisted conspiracy of greed, lies, and murder -- and whose only hope for survival now rests in the hands of friends too far away for comfort.
Customer Reviews:
Sinister Pig.......2007-09-27
Bernadette (Bernie) Manuelito gets to be the hero. If you like Tony Hillerman, you'll like this one.
Hillerman off the Reservation.......2007-08-23
Great, as are all of Tony Hillerman's Navajo stories. Off the Reservation and into the modern world.
Worst Hillerman mystery ever?.......2007-07-15
Characters you don't care about, exposition instead of action, Leaphorn and Chee MIA for much of the story...this one has it all. I gave it a generous chance for five chapters, then called it quits because it was uninteresting and uninvolving.

A Return to Hillerman.......2007-06-27
I had not read Mr. Hillerman in awhile. I was on the North Rim of the Grand Canyon and ran out of reading material. I picked up "The Sinister Pig" and was very glad I did! It felt like I had returned to some old friends (Jim Chee and Joe Leaphorn). The plot involves murder, oil, drugs, and politics. A great, quick read.
A Fall from Grace.......2007-01-05
I have read most of Mr. Hillerman's Chee/Leaphorn books and enjoyed all of them, even the early ones that lacked the depth of his later works, but this book left me cold. Every character of worth Hillerman created had to have spot in this book, and many didn't fit well. This was too contrived to hold interest.

This little piggy went to market.......2006-07-11
Not quite the Hillerman formula but done well just the same. All our old friends are in this story and it looks like everything can get wrapped up if Hillerman decided would be his last. However it looks like there is at least one more novel and probably two. In this novel we get to be into the heads of the good guys and bad guys from the start as they banter around.
An ex-CIA spy with knowledge of the oil industry is sent to find out information on how oil companies bypass paying royalty money to the First Nations Trust Fund. He ends up committing suicide with a bullet in the back. Mean while way down south Bernie now with the U.S. Customs Service gets lost, goes off the map, and puts her foot in it.
Bernie's co-worker gets suspicious and tells Joe. Jim gets out some snaps; Joe gets out his maps; Bourbonette gets out the coffee and brains. They hold a committee to figure out what is happening.
Will Bernie smell what she stepped in, or just walk right in to her demise?
Will the cavalry arrive over the hill in time (does not look promising?)
