5 out of 5 stars Simple and clear, it will change your life........2001-11-28

This book is a guided tour through life. No cheap philosophy, no snob intelectuallity, just about living "the good life". If I had enough money, I would give this book for free to everybody in the streets, schools,parks and malls. Since I can't afford that, I just try to give it recurrently to every friend and family member. If you have children, this book is the most important present you could ever give to them.

      5 out of 5 stars A More Mature Vision.......2006-05-22

      Many moons ago a fantasy anthology written by many top authors was conceived and Thieves World was born. The idea was that the City of Sanctuary would be the base with the various characters from the authors inhabiting this place. The idea was that the characters could be borrowed among the authors and you would get various perspectives of each character from different points of view. What the anthology turned into was a wonderful rollicking mess and one of the most important antholgy series to ever have been written for the fantasy world. The final book from the original series was published in 1989.

      13 years later and Sanctuary rises again under Lynn Abbey's editorial control. This time it is a more mature version of theives world. The stories are every bit as good as the original, but a bit more polished this time around. Abbey must have learned hard lessons from the first anthology. There is a better focus and the story line is more organized. While the first anthology is going to be hard to match, the second anthology is starting off right.

      The second book, "Enemies of Fortune" is very very good. There isn't a bad story or filler here. The book has both light and very dark stories. You feel bad for the various characters and yet laugh at them too. You find both love and gallantry among the denizons as well as honesty among thieves. The stories warn of the dangers of drug use "Good Neighbors" as well as not kidnapping the wrong woman "Protection". My personal favorites are "Ghost in the Pheonix" a light hearted story about possesion and "The Man from Shemhaza" which is anything but lighthearted.

      "Enemies of Fortune" shows there are growng clouds for the future, which makes me want to read the next book before it is published. For those of you who have not read the original series, buy them if you can or at least read "Sanctuary", which will provide you a working knowledge betweent the old series and the new version. Highly Recommended.

      5 out of 5 stars A Great Deal of Fun!.......2004-12-10

      I just picked up this book and have enjoyed it greatly. Thieves' World and the city of Sanctuary are such rich settings, and these authors explore that setting to great effect. I've only read about half the volume thus far, but highly recommend it based on what I have read. You'll enjoy this especially if you enjoy the whole 'shared world' concept (like I do). The stories are solid and the characters well-written. I strongly recommend the stories by Jody Lynn Nye, Robin Wayne Bailey, the 2 by CJ Cherryh & Jane Fancher, and Selina Rosen. And by all means, if you enjoy these stories, check out these authors' other works. Each one has a unique and entertaining style.

      Congratulations and a hearty 'thank you' to Lynn Abbey for reviving the wonderful and engaging Thieves' World!

        Cordelia Naismith, Betan Survey Captain, was expecting the unexpected: hexapods, floating creatures, odd parasites... She was not, however, expecting to find hostile humans on an uninhabited planet. And she wasn't really expecting to fall in love with a 40-plus barbarian known to cosmopolitan galactics as the Butcher of Komarr. Will Mother ever understand? And can such an odd beast as love survive an interplanetary war?

        5 out of 5 stars Not just for Sci-Fi Fans.......2007-03-13

        Although one could call this book a novel of war, science fiction, romance, politics, contrasting planets/civilizations, or human nature, it's appeal goes beyond this. Bujold is unparalelled in her ability to write with an alternately lyrical, tender, though-provoking, hilarious, and cynical voice that is not in the least bit intellectually snobbish, and manages to maintain a streamlined, fast pace. The plot is tight and varied, the ideas interesting, but I read Bujold over and over for her characters and her voice. Don't look at the cover art, and don't pay attention to the subject matter, because this and the rest of her books are so much more.

        5 out of 5 stars Compentency in action.......2007-01-30

        One of the most intriguing elements of Cordelia's sojourn on the alien planet is how she deals with both hostile action and disabling injuries to her small group. Typically, most writers have the hero rescue the heroine and "save" her from danger. This is an adult, post-Terminator version of boy meets girl. Here, Cordelia seems to be not only able to deal with these issues but also maintain her humanity and sense of honor (in the most liberal definition) towards all living things, even the seemingly evil ones, like the Butcher of Komarrar. It definately changed my perception of how we as a society deal with the disabled or injured, long before I got to know Miles. The recovery sessions on the trip home raise lots of questions on how we deal with the aftermath of traumatic events and whether it's right to try to "resolve" them by talking them through.

        A very nuanced and thoughtful character development, one that allows encourages repeated readings, not only for enjoyment but also for deeper consideration. This is one of the hallmarks of a fine book, where the storyline is enjoyable to mull over after you've finished, like a gourmet meal.

        5 out of 5 stars An excellent story - and the start of something great.......2006-04-04

        I was introduced to Lois McMaster Bujold's work through her fantasy novels "The Curse of Chalion" and "Paladin Of Souls", both of which deserve ten stars at least. Having devoured those books (not literally) I decided to read some other stuff by her - this time in the Science Fiction genre. My library kindly offered up "Shards of Honour" and what a brilliant read it was.

        Most fortuitously, I now discover I happened upon the initial instalment of what has become a whole series of books (16 to date) in the Miles Vorkosigan series (I've bought the rest and am working my way through them. I liked this first one that much!) But don't worry that this book is incomplete on its own - it isn't. Although it's the scene-setter for a lot of other books it works on its own as a story of politics, war, human nature, personality and love.

        Cordelia Naismith is the captain of a Survey ship that is checking out a new planet. She's off in the undergrowth with her botanist when her base camp is attacked and her colleagues flee in the shuttle. When going back to investigate Cordelia and her companion are attacked and she loses consciousness. When she wakes up, there is a soldier guarding her.

        And from this point the story diverges from a basic "heroine rescues herself from tricky situation" type story. Cordelia and her 'captor', who says he is Captain Aral Vorkosigan, have to make a journey 200kms across this unknown and, as it turns out, rather dangerous planet in order to find a cache of stores and a way for Vorkosigan to communicate with his ship. It appears that there has been a mutiny in his command and he was knocked out and left on the surface of the planet. Cordelia has to accept his help in making their way to the cache and also with her botanist who was badly injured in the attack by Vorkosigan's colleagues, the Barrayarans. The Barrayarans are known as a warlike and rather uncivilised planet compared to Cordelia's Betans and she knows that Vorkosigan has the nickname "The Butcher of Komarr" from the story that he killed all the prisoners of another planet, Komarr, after they surrendered.

        But nothing is as it seems - for Cordelia, and especially not in Barrayaran politics. In their six day journey they come to understand something of each other, and the fact that they both have a sense of honour that, although different, is complementary. Cordelia is eventually rescued from her prisoner status on Vorkosigan's ship by some of her Betan colleagues, but the dividing line of "goodies" and "baddies" is no longer clear. Especially after Vorkosigan proposes marriage to her.

        The story continues with them meeting again - in the middle of a war - and Cordelia's brush with the evil side of Barrayaran culture. Once again she is returned to Beta Colony, but now she no longer fits there, and in fact discovers the bad side of her planet that cannot understand the Barrayarans and cannot allow them redeeming features. Cordelia has to escape her own people to be reunited with Vorkosigan. The enemy has become her home.

        What's so powerful about this book is that although the writing is light and the story moves on with pace, there is great depth to the characters. You feel like you really get to know them, understand them, understand what they see in each other, and understand why neither of them is at home with their planet because they are intelligent enough to see beyond the obvious to the disadvantages of both of their ways of life. The love affair side is understated but very well done at that, and the politics is explained in such a way that it works well in the story and is actually interesting. No mean feat!

        Some of the characters in this story appear in the others, particularly Cordelia and Vorkosigan, and the book "Barrayar" is the direct sequel to this and deals further with Cordelia, Aral Vorkosigan and their son Miles (the rest of the books are mostly set 20-30 years after the events in this book).

        It's a great start to an excellent series, and yet worth reading in its own right - over and over again.

        5 out of 5 stars Start Your Miles Vorkosigan Reading Here.......2005-12-16

        Series fiction has requirements very different from the single novel, or even multiple books forming one long story such as Tolkien's Ring Trilogy. The multi-book single storyline can be - probably is - so self-referential you have to read every book in the series, in order, to understand what's happening in later books. But the author of a true open-ended series like Lois McMaster Bujold's Miles Vorkosigan novels knows readers may start with any book in the series, and read them in utterly random order. Thus, while each book must build on, and ideally add to and enrich what's come before, it must also be self-contained and not require having read any other book in the series to enjoy. Bujold has always been aware of this, thus for new readers interested in her tales of Miles Vorkosigan, it's not really necessary to begin with Shards of Honor. On the other hand, if you are a brand-new reader to this series, why NOT start at the beginning? (Bujold's novel Falling Free takes place within the same fictional universe but, being set approximately 200 years before Miles' birth, features none of the series' familiar characters. Eventually you'll want to read Falling Free, but it doesn't matter when; you can insert it into your Bujold reading experience anytime.)

        Shards of Honor is Bujold's first novel (not merely the first novel she ever sold, but the first she ever wrote, thus disproving the axiom, "All first novels are unsaleable trash"). She begins writing it in December 1982. In mid-'83, having worked through the Shards material and about a third into what would eventually become Barrayar, Bujold realizes her manuscript is becoming too long to submit as one book (the "wisdom" at the time being a thin manuscript is more likely to be picked off the slush pile than a thick one). Bujold finds a logical breaking point for her tale (Cordelia's arrival on Barrayar), puts it in final draft form, and mothballs the partially finished "rest of the story."

        Bujold submits Shards and begins working on another book, The Warrior's Apprentice. She's about halfway through that when Shards comes back rejected with an editorial suggestion she tighten it up. She finishes Warrior's, then cuts about 80 pages out of Shards, giving her two good unpublished novels. In 1985, around the time she finishes her third novel, Ethan of Athos, Warrior's makes it over the transom at Baen, and suddenly she goes from unpublished wannabe to successful novelist with three books (Shards, Warrior's, Ethan) SOLD. Shards is published in 1986.

        Shards of Honor stars Captain Cordelia Naismith, commander of a survey team for the Betan Expeditionary Force, and Captain Aral Vorkosigan, victim of a mutiny on his Barrayaran warship. Both stranded on an unexplored alien planet, officers on opposite sides of the Betan-Barrayaran War, they reach an agreement of honor: they will trust and rely on each other for survival as they travel across a planet seemingly intent on throwing all its resources into killing them before they can reach Aral's ship. And then there's the little problem of overcoming the mutineers.... In the process of their adventures, Cordelia and Aral fall in love.

        This story is told from Cordelia's viewpoint (as is the novel completing this particular story arc, Barrayar). Thereafter in the series Miles, with very few exceptions, takes center stage. Never again will Cordelia be the main character. But for these two books she emerges as one of the most well-realized, loving and vulnerable but still tough-as-nails female SF protagonists ever.

        The next book in the series you'll want to read is Barrayar, or you can read Cordelia's Honor, which collects the entire story arc, Shards of Honor and Barrayar, between the same covers.

        5 out of 5 stars Easy read, complex characters, strong plot..........2004-07-01

        Set in a colorful universe which seems to be filled with as many governments and empires as sand on the beach, Captain Cordelia Naismith, of the Betan Expeditionary Force, must find her way through a series of battles, to protect herself and her planet. But what happens when the enemy seems to be more honest and honorable than her own people? What happens when Lord Vorkosigan shows more understanding towards her than her own planet?
        Easy to read in only a day or two, yet a strong, witty book. Full of great military tactics and real humans. One of those you reread every few years. Also the beginning of a series, as this book and the second allow us to get to know the parents of Miles Vorkosigan before he's even in the picture!

                As much as Rick loves the bold flavors of Mexican foods, he understands that preparing many Mexican specialties requires more time than most of us have. Mexican Everyday is written with the time sensitivities of modern life in mind. It is a collection of 90 full-flavored recipes—like Green Chile Chicken Tacos, Shrimp Ceviche Salad, Chipotle Steak with Black Beans—that meet three criteria for "everyday" food: 1) most need less than 30 minutes' involvement; 2) they have the fresh, clean taste of simple, authentic preparations; and 3) they are nutritionally balanced, full-featured meals—no elaborate side dishes required. Companion to a thirteen-part public television series, this book provides dishes you can eat with family and friends, day in and day out. Color throughout.

                3 out of 5 stars Disappointed.......2007-07-30

                I was disappointed when I received this book from Amazon and searched through for something to cook that night. The recipes have too many ingredients (involving an extra trip or more to the grocery store) - and just not realistic for the working people of the world. Mind you, the food was good, but I don't have time in my life for a majority of the recipes in this book.

                5 out of 5 stars Wow, just incredable and great tasting recipes!.......2007-07-07

                I've learned so much from this book! The recipes aren't only delicious but also healthy and affordable. It feels like a real treat with every new meal and even the regulars! I would recommend this book to anyone who would like to learn how to cook mexican with everything from the herbs and spices to where to find some of the hard to find items. I read the book from front to back and really got the full lesson you wouldn't normally get just jumping from recipe to recipe like I did for a while. I'll never look at Mexican the same!

                4 out of 5 stars Tasty, very tasty.......2007-06-08

                This is what I call traditional mexican food, for real, I am mexican by the way, and the flavor of the real mexican food has been captured in these recipes, although I must say that using masa harina in some of the recipes is not such a great idea, I know in some areas of Mexico it is used, but its taste overpowers everything else, so I would not use it, I would use corn starch instead, plain and simple. Besides that detail, the book definitely is worth it, if you like traditional mexican food; some dishes brought me back to my childhood years.

                5 out of 5 stars Just Like The Homeland, same taste but less work!!!!.......2007-03-28

                A must for your collection of Mexican cooking. You will re-live the mornings at home when the aroma chocked you to death but when you sat and ate it was all worth it!! If you truly love Authentic Mexican food will you understand what i am saying.

                5 out of 5 stars To easy to be this flavorful.......2007-03-22

                Full of flavor and easy to make dishes...if you cant find ingredients locally check out the riffs for substitutions and alternate preparations. If you don't like this book write your own.

                  Book Description

                  Examining the Mexican American civil rights movement through the public rhetoric of a veteran activist



                  Héctor P. García: Everyday Rhetoric and Mexican American Civil Rights examines the transition of Mexican Americans from political and social marginalization to civic inclusion after World War II. Focusing on the public rhetoric of veteran rights activist and physician Dr. Héctor P. García, a Mexican immigrant who achieved unprecedented influence within the U.S. political system, author Michelle Hall Kells provides an important case study in the exercise of influence, the formation of civic identity, and the acquisition of social power among this underrepresented group.



                  As a major influence in national twentieth-century civil rights reform, García effectively operated between Anglo and Mexican American sociopolitical structures. The volume illustrates how García, a decorated World War II veteran and founder of the American GI Forum in Texas in 1948, successfully engendered a discourse that crossed geographical, political, and cultural borders, forming associations with the working poor as well as with prominent national figures such as John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson. Through his rhetoric and action, García publicly revealed the plight of Mexican Americans, crossing class, regional, and racial lines to improve socioeconomic conditions for his people.



                  Héctor P. García, which is enhanced by sixteen illustrations, contributes to rhetorical, cultural, and historical studies and offers new scholarship establishing García’s role on the national front, effectively tracing Garcia’s legacy of resistance, the process of achieving enfranchisement, and the role of racism in the evolution from social marginalization to national influence.

                      Book Description

                      Winner of the 'Casa Chata Award' for the Best Book of 1994 (Spanish edition)

                      In charting the paradoxical effects of power and knowledge on the everyday life of subordinate people, this book offers a major rethinking of domination and the agricultural labor process. Challenging the belief that ethnography is theoretically weak, the author provides a fresh perspective on rural workers' responses to the development of transnational production systems and the transformations of agrarian structures brought about by the complex interactions of global and local forces. In questioning ingrained assumptions about worker consciousness, the author exposes the naivete of past approaches and the role of power and hegemony in the micro-politics of human relations.

                      This book is obligatory reading for anyone interested in current debates about "resistance," development, and the future of rural societies.

                          Description:
                          In this study, we examined on the sociocultural environment and personal experiences of children from a rural Mexican escuela unitaria (one-room, one-teacher school), because many of our immigrant children come to the US from rural Mexican communities. We present a portrait of everyday school life in which students assume responsibility: (a) for oneself, (b) to classmates, (c) for making decisions related to curriculum, and (d) to family and community. The findings have implications for challenging teacher beliefs about culturally diverse students and for supporting educational professionals in developing more culturally responsive teaching.
