Book Description

Modern Jewish philosophy emerged in the seventeenth century, with the impact of the new science and modern philosophy on thinkers who were reflecting upon the nature of Judaism and Jewish life. This collection of new essays examines the work of several of the most important of these figures, from the seventeenth to the late-twentieth centuries, and addresses themes central to the tradition of modern Jewish philosophy: language and revelation, autonomy and authority, the problem of evil, messianism, the influence of Kant, and feminism. Included are essays on Spinoza, Mendelssohn, Cohen, Buber, Rosenzweig, Fackenheim, Soloveitchik, Strauss, and Levinas. Other thinkers discussed include Maimon, Benjamin, Derrida, Scholem, and Arendt. The sixteen original essays are written by a world-renowned group of scholars especially for this volume and give a broad and rich picture of the tradition of modern Jewish philosophy over a period of four centuries.

Book Description

This is the most complete English edition of Kant's correspondence that has ever been compiled. The letters are concerned with philosophical and scientific topics but many also treat personal, historical, and cultural matters. On one level the letters chart Kant's philosophical development. On another level they expose quirks and foibles, and reveal a good deal about Kant's friendships and philosophical battles with some of the prominent thinkers of the time: Herder, Hamann, Mendelssohn, and Fichte.

Book Description

Dr. Notomi presents a new interpretation of one of Plato's most important dialogues, the Sophist, addressing both historical context and philosophical content. He shows how important the issues concerning the sophist (professional teacher and rhetorician in ancient Greece) are to the possibility of philosophy. His new approach to the whole dialogue reveals that Plato struggles with difficult philosophical issues in a single line of inquiry; and that Plato shows, in defining the sophist, his conception of the authentic philosopher.

Book Description

Lady Anne Conway was a remarkable woman who became a philosopher in her own right at a time when most women were denied even basic education. The Conway Letters is the record of her friendship with the Cambridge Platonist, Henry More, which began when he acted as her unofficial tutor in philosophy and lasted until her death. The letters cover a wide range of topics - personal, philosophical, religious, and social. They give a detailed picture of the More-Conway circle, including such figures as Jeremy Taylor, Ralph Cudworth, Robert Boyle, and Francis Mercury van Helmont, as well as Lady Conway's Quaker associates, George Keith and William Penn. The letters are thus a valuable source for mid-seventeenth-century history, and especially for the intellectual history of the period. This revised edition reprints all the letters from the original 1930 edition, together with Marjorie Nicolson's biographical account of Anne Conway and Henry More. A new appendix contains some important letters not included in the first edition, among them the early discussion of Cartesianism. The introduction by Sarah Hutton sets the book in the context of recent scholarship.

Book Description

This book is devoted to a full and lucid exposition of Boyde's ideas. In the first two parts, the author presents a systematic account of the universe as Dante accepted it, and explains the processes of 'creation' and 'generation' as they operate in the non-human parts of the cosmos. Dr Boyde then shows how the two processes combine in Dante's theory of human embryology, and how this combination affects the issues of love, choice and freedom. The third and last part of the book consolidates these expository sections with a generous selection of quotations from Dante's authorities and from his own works in prose. At the same time, the book offers far more than a clear account of Dante's cosmology and anthropology. Dr Boyde is interested in Dante's ideas in so far as they inspired and gave shape to the Divine Comedy. Furthermore, in every chapter he demonstrates how the relevant concepts and habits of thought were transmuted into imagery, symbolism, and dramatic scenes, or simply transformed by the energy and concision of Dante's poetic style.

Book Description

Flappers and Philosophers was F. Scott Fitzgerald's initial encore--his first collection of short fiction, published in 1920 to capitalize on the success of This Side of Paradise, the novel that had made him famous at the age of twenty-three. Flappers and Philosophers contains some of Fitzgerald's best early stories: "The Offshore Pirate," "Bernice Bobs Her Hair," "The Ice Palace," and "Benediction." In these narratives Fitzgerald presented his prototypical Jazz-Age heroines, beautiful and willful young women who later became trademarks of his fiction. This Cambridge Edition contains fully reedited texts, a scholarly introduction, textual apparatus and facsimilies of working drafts and tearsheets.

Download Description

No matter how beautiful or brilliant a girl may be, the reputation of not being frequently cut in on makes her position at a dance unfortunate. Perhaps boys prefer her company to that of the butterflies with whom they dance a dozen times an but, youth in this jazz-nourished generation is temperamentally restless, and the idea of fox-trotting more than one full fox trot with the same girl is distasteful, not to say odious. When it comes to several dances and the intermissions between she can be quite sure that a young man, once relieved, will never tread on her wayward toes again.

Entertaining, Popular Pieces That Paid The Bills........2004-12-11

``Flappers and Philosophers'' was F. Scott Fitzgerald's first short-story collection. It's an entertaining group, brimming with the spirit of youth.
The author's first published novel, ``This Side of Paradise,'' sold well. To capitalize on this publisher Charles Scribner collected eight of Fitzgerald's magazine stories and published them in a single volume in September 1920.
The collection contains two of the author's best-known short works -- ``The Ice Palace'' and ``Bernice Bobs Her Hair.'' Fitzgerald shows considerable skill in depicting horror in ``The Ice Palace'' as well as ``The Cut-Glass Bowl.'' Although Fitzgerald wrote to H.L. Mencken that ``Bernice'' was ``trash,'' the story is strong in showing the workings of peer pressure and popularity seeking.
``Flappers and Philosophers'' was dedicated to Fitzgerald's wife, the spirited and mercurial Zelda. Fittingly, we meet a Zelda on the very first page -- Ardita Farnam of ``The Offshore Pirate.'' ``Pirate'' is a romance that dwarfs contemporary Harlequin-type gruel.
Most of the stories have at least one good plot twist. ``Dalyrimple Goes Wrong'' and ``Head and Shoulders'' are the best of the twisters.
``Four Fists'' rings a bit hollow but it's well written. ``Benediction'' is the weakest story in the group. The brother and sister constantly using each other's names was grating. The hint of incest turned me off doubly. ``The Cut-Glass Bowl'' was my favorite.
The collection ought to be read and put in context by students of Fitzgerald. Students should know that these stories are what made Fitzgerald known to the American reading public during his lifetime. Today Fitzgerald is known for ``The Great Gatsby,'' a, if not THE, masterpiece novel. But ``Gatsby'' was a commercial flop during the author's lifetime. What fueled Fitzgerald's celebrity in the 1920s and what paid his considerable bills was short stories. So buy and read ``Flappers and Philosophers'' as well as ``Tales of The Jazz Age'' to see why pre-Depression America fell in love with F. Scott Fitzgerald.

Form and Finesse.......2002-12-22

Fitzgerald's stories manage to unite his otherworldly grasp of the fluctuations in the human soul. He is a master at presenting its contrivances and vanities as things that happen to people. The tension in these tales rises with almost unconscious force. Red herrings of possible conclusions are whispered but almost in the style of a trickster. Someone always gets conned and someone unmasked- all within that now long-gone era that held a fullhouse of interesting details and premonitions of an ominous future. "Beatrice Bobs her Hair" always has something more to say about savage young ladies. It deserves its place, I think, in every highschool English curriculum. The spoiled rich girls inevitably fall madly in love- with the cads or the tricksters. It was interesting to read "Benediction" in this era of the priest scandals. How priests were seen by Fitzgerald, or perhaps how he conceived his alter ego- is apparent in his return to his natural self through the heroine's choice at the end. This writer always has a trick up his sleeve for the unpredictable conclusion.
I am surprised that there are not more raves over this collection, but perhaps that is the nature of the post modern era. I on the other hand -rave. Story, resolution, all those little formulas that separate the artist from the amateur in the impossible short story form. Fitzgerald, except for perhaps in Gatsby, never achieved such form and plotting in his novels. His youth too, can be sensed in the humorous and rather light-hearted manner by which he casts his characters and those obstacles that they encounter.

Form and Finesse.......2002-12-22

Excellent, engrossing short stories.......2002-10-29

Fitzgerald may not have been overly fond of his short stories, but his writing skill and insight shine through anyway. In The Ice Palace and Bernice Bobs her Hair and the Four Fists in particular, Fitzgerald captures individuals struggling with themselves. Who/what should they be, and why? While I wasn't too fond of the pirate story, as it lacked these elements, the other stories in the book show a depth of understanding and introspection that makes for a wonderful, thoughtful read.

A good sampling of Fitzgerald.......2000-05-21

This collection of short stories takes a candid look at America in the early 20th century. There isn't a stinker in the lot, but I think "Bernice Bobs Her Hair" is my favorite. Fitzgerald has a way of making his readers connect with unlikeable characters that seems almost magical.

Book Description

Henry More (1614-1687), the Cambridge Platonist, is often presented as an elusive and contradictory figure. An early apologist for the new natural philosophy and its rational support for Christian doctrine, More also defended the existence of witchcraft and wrote extensively on the nature of the soul and the world of spirits. A vigorous and prolific controversialist against many varieties of contemporary `atheism' and `enthusiasm', More was himself a spiritual perfectionist and illuminist, believing that the goal of the religious life was a conscious union with God.
Until now, most biographies of More have ignored these, his own, preoccupations, and have made of him a rather eccentric but important illustrative figure in one of several larger narratives dominated by canonical figures like Descartes, Boyle, Spinoza or Newton. This is the first modern biography to place his own religious and philosophical preoccupations centre-stage, and to provide a coherent interpretation of his work from a consideration of his own writings, their contexts and aims. It is also the first study of More to exploit the full range of his prolific writings and a number of unknown manuscripts relating to his life. In addition, it contains an annotated handlist of his extant correspondence.

Book Description

This volume collects the most substantial correspondence and documents relating to Wittgenstein 's long association with Cambridge between the years 1911 and his death in 1951, including the letters he exchanged with his most illustrious Cambridge contemporaries Russell, Keynes, Moore and Ramsey (and previously published as Cambridge Letters). It provides a fascinating glimpse of the philosopher - appearing in turn withdrawn and affectionate, fierce and censorious, happy to collaborate and sure of his own judgement. Quarrels and reconciliations are documented, along with his struggles to publish the Tractatus, his retreat from the world and his eventual return to philosophy.This significantly expanded new volume adds to the existing collection some 200 previously unpublished letters and documents, including 40 letters from Wittgenstein to his friend and Cambridge contemporary, the economist Piero Sraffa; a substantial body of letters between Wittgenstein and some of his most celebrated pupils, including Rhees, Von Wright and Norman Malcolm; and minutes relating Wittgenstein 's incursions into University business and The Moral Sciences Club.This collection will prove a fascinating and unique read for anyone with an interest in Wittgenstein 's work, his character and the institutional and personal context within which they took shape.

This collection contains hitherto unknown letters exchanged between Wittgenstein and the most important of his Cambridge friends and includes editorial notes based on archival material not previously explored. Wittgenstein's correspondents are not his disciples, but those he recognised and valued as his mentors - Russell, Moore, Keynes, Ramsey and (represented by a single but important letter) Piero Sraffa.The collection provides a fascinating glimpse of the philosopher - Wittgenstein appears in turn withdrawn and affectionate, fierce and censorious, happy to collaborate and sure of his own judgement. Four quarrels and four reconciliations are documented, along with Wittgenstein's struggles to publish his Tractatus, his retreat from the world and his eventual return to philosophy. It will prove a remarkable read for both students and academics interested in Wittgenstein's work and his place in twentieth-century philosophy.

An excellent book on the topic.......2007-08-03

This book offers a detailed look at the causes and cures for the acne sufferers. The program he recommended is easy enough to follow on a daily basis. He doesn't recommend any of his products but we have to search for ourselves.

I think the author doesn't want any conflict of economical interests to offer his product line but spread the true science of curing the acne itself. It took me a long time to search and locate all the products he recommended in this book, but I have gained more knowledge in the process. I have found the acnerx kit from a company that offers all products this author recommends.

I like the author' acne cure program and I highly recommend all acne suffers to buy the book and follow his program. It's a good book. You won't regret it.

Drugs??? I found a better way..........2007-07-13

First off, I have been an acne sufferer for the past 6 years and have tried almost EVERY ointment, scrub, cure, and drug. This includes Several antibiotics and all major name brand "cures" like Proactiv.

You need to understand what I learned through years of research: Acne is more than just a skin condition, it is a sign that something is internally wrong with your body.

Acne is not the disease itself, it is the symptom! Much of this is related to modern lifestyles and diets. "But I thought diet didn't affect it at all!" you might say. You need to realize that much of what you have been told about acne is in many cases a downright lie. You think your doctor CARES about you when he prescribes just another drug or miracle cure, not giving you 5 minutes of his time? Mine didn't.
For more information and what allowed myself and others to overcome this discouraging disease, visit the Acne No More website.

About the book:
This is basically useless. I followed the program to give you "acne free skin" in six weeks for well over six months, and not only was it useless, it may have severely damaged my skin! Over the counter drugs like Benzol Peroxide, Sasilic and Glycolic acid just don't work. Believe me, I found a better way.

But it works... Hey, you may think that it works, and that others found it works, but it is only a temporary cure. It worked for ME at first, but the truth is that sure it may help fight bacteria, but it won't cure the cause of acne. A healthy diet and lifestyle are needed to actually see lasting results. I can't tell you how important it is to check out Mike Walden's e-book Acne No More. But that's only if you are really interested in a cure

Definitely worth the read & try.......2007-04-09

Good book for learning about acne and a logical plan for "curing" it.

I'm at the mid-way point of the 6 week plan, and overall, have seen great improvement, though, not a cure yet. As a 34 year old woman, I'm gearing up to deal with wrinkles, and combatting the acne I've had since the aget of 15 is just getting exhausting and ridiculous. I appreciate the upfront education on skin care and acne--after asking several dermatologists about the bumps under my skin and gettting no answers, it's refreshing to have this addressed in this book. I applaud Mr. Dubrow's rather rare decision not to create his own skin care line to promote with the book. All products were easy to find in a mid-sized city.

At the end of week three, I've experienced great improvement in my skin's clarity and glow. I am still experiencing a few break-outs, but they clear up quite quickly. When I started the program, I was sure that I'd experience terrible dryness as the combinations of all of these chemicals seemed that it would be harsh on the skin. But to my surprise, I've been amazed to find that I can actually wear a solution of Benzyol Perioxide to bed with no moisturizer and my skin looks good in the morning after my Salicylic Acid treatment. I must admit that I skip the Glycolic Acid if my skin feels tight, but I find my skin is adjusting to this. Be sure to buy quality sunscreen and wear it, as you will notice your skin is smoother, but also thinner. One tip: I found that the program seems to work better if I am generous with the amount of each chemical I use and mix it well with an equal amount of water to apply it like a medium thick masque. My working theory is the water helps to carry the chemicals into the skin (I dry my face after rinsing between products). Don't be stingy, if you are going to try this, do it right, so you know if it will work for you. My products:

AM:
Neutrogena Rapid Clear(tm) Acne Defense Face Lotion 2% Salicylic Acid
Peter Thomas Roth 10% Glycolic Acid Clarifying Gel
(my personal wrinkle-prevention hydrating regime: Skinceuticals Feric C+E serum, B5 gel, and moisturizer; followed with Obagi sunscreen 35 SPF)

PM:
Neutrogena Rapid Clear(tm) Acne Defense Face Lotion 2% Salicylic Acid
Zapzyt 10% Benzyol Perioxide Gel + ice
Leave on BP Gel overnight

One other note: be sure to use a good eye moisturizer as this skin is the thinnest, and I've found that, although I avoid my eye area, I need to be quite viligent not to end up with a dry, puffy eye area. I have hopes that another 3-4 weeks on the program may actually clear up the bumps under my skin and my acne. I'm seeing enough progress to be optimistic.

Lost one star due to the book's instructions, which are not well organized. I thank the other poster who spelled out the AM & PM routine here on Amazon. If Mr. Dubrow re-issues this book, I hope he clarifies his plan and does some randomized studies to bring more validity to the science behind his assertions.

Good luck!

buyer beware!.......2007-03-09

Don't get false hope people! This is not a cure! All this book talks about is Salicylic Acid, Benzoyl Peroxide, Cold Compresses, Retin A, etc STUFF WE ALREADY KNOW ABOUT! I followed his directions exactly and I ended up with worse skin than before. I was red, peeling, itchy and still broken out. I have given up on finding a cure, I will probably have acne til the day I die.

Great Acne Reference Book.......2006-09-14

About 8 months ago I was doing research on Acne and came across this book. This book is the best Acne reference book I have come across and I highky recommend it. Even though it is a bit technical it clearly covers the cause of Acne and provides a comprehensive treatment system.

A Publisher's Weekly Bestseller: Most people believe that sags, bags, and wrinkles -- on the face and body -- are inevitable. many people choose to temporarily circumvent these signs of aging with surgery, chemical peels, Botox injections, or laser treatments. The good news, according to research scientist and practicing dermatologist Nicholas Perricone, M.D., is that by following a simple program of diet, exercise, and skin care you can prevent and even reverse many signs of aging. The Perricone Prescription clearly and succinctly explains the rock-solid laboratory research behind Dr. Perricone's revolutionary theories, revealing that inflammation at the cellular level, precipitated by poor nutrition, pollution, sunlight, irritating skin-care treatments, and stress, is the single most powerful cause of the signs of aging. Dr. Perricone gives you the knowledge and the tools to fight that inflammation from the inside out, while at the same time decreasing the likelihood of heart disease, cancer, diabetes, arthritis, and a host of other degenerative diseases.

A 'must' for the community library culinary collection........2007-03-05

A former reporter, columnist, and editor for the Taste section of the 'Star Tribune', Ann L. Burckhardt has written or edited more than twenty-five books on food - including the original edition of the "Betty Crocker Cooky Book". So she brings a very special expertise to "Hot Dish heaven: Classic Casseroles From Midwest Kitchens" where she has compiled an impressive collection of mouth-watering, palate-pleasing, appetite satisfying, kitchen-cook friendly recipes showcasing what the casserole can do ranging from ordinary family meals to gourmet dishes fit for even the most elegant celebratory dining event. The recipes (ranging from Old Standby Hamburger and Rice Bake, to Satisfying Shepherd's Pie, to Beef Chow Mein Hot Dish, to Mom's Bread Pudding) are grouped into seven sections; Casserole Classics; Round the World in a Casserole Dish; Comfort Foods for Busy Days; Hot Dishes for Potlucks and Church Suppers; Satisfying Side Dishes; Breakfast and Brunch Casseroles; and Warm, Wonderful Desserts. Enhanced with two appendices featuring 'Cream Sauce' and 'Pastry Crust', as well as an informative introduction by Karal Ann Marling, "Hot Dish Heaven" is a simply wonderful addition to any family cookbook shelf, and a 'must' for the community library culinary collection.

It's "pretty good.".......2007-01-27

Contrary to the reviewer from Boxford, MA, I assert that this book is classic Minnesotan. As a native Minnesotan, I can attest to the authenticity of these recipe selections; indeed, all the hot dish classics are here: brunch casserole, tater tot hot dish, chicken and rice, tuna and noodles, and more. The aforementioned reviewer may have read past the definition of "hot dish" at the beginning of the book: "casserole-like food common in the Midwest; normally consists of a starch, a meat, and a vegetable mixed together with a sauce, often canned soup" (from _Dictionary of American Regional English_). Hot dishes are neither gourmet nor health food, but they are a comfort for us folks in the upper Midwest. This book could not have been compiled by a better expert: Ann Burckhardt was the former editor for the Taste section of the Star Tribune newspaper and the original Betty Crocker Cooky Book. If you want a classic Midwestern style cookbook full of recipes for your church potlucks or hearty family suppers, look no further.

I am disappointed.......2007-01-12

The design of the book is cute -- kind of 1940s-ish -- but the recipes are not only uninspiring, but more time-consuming than I expected. I already have lots of casserole recipes but was hoping for some uniquely Minnesotan ideas, as well as quick & easy things for work nights. But most of these dishes all seem to have the same ingredients: ground beef, chopped onion, sour cream, cheese, tomatoes, potatoes, corn, maybe a can of soup -- and even the ones that are supposed to be "Chinese" or "Afghan" are no different from the rest! There's very little use of herbs, spices or even garlic. Besides, many of them require at least half an hour of prep time and then at least an hour of baking. I don't know if I'll ever use this book. I'm not a Minnesotan, but there must be better "hot-dish" or casserole books out there.
Addendum: I have made two hot dishes from this book thus far, and in both of them, the proportions of ingredients seemed off. There was too little liquid (i.e., canned soup thinned with milk) to bind and moisten the rest of the ingredients, and too much meat. I also think the size of casserole dishes recommended are not always the best (usually too small/shallow), and she doesn't always specify whether to bake the casserole covered or not. I made the mistake of baking the "Meat & Potatoes Hot Dish" covered, and it was too soupy and sloppy. I'm a pretty experienced cook, and this can't all be MY fault!

All the classics.......2006-12-29

The book covers the hot dish classics from Tater Tot Hotdish to Tuna Casserole. I love the tidbits that the authoerincludes about where the recipes come from and how they actually are a bit healthier than we thought (great way to combine beans and grains.)

A highly rewarding take on cooking to perfection........2006-01-15

`Kitchen Heaven' by the very English chef / restauranteur / BBC Culinary personality, Gordon Ramsay is a book done in connection with Ramsay's BBC TV series, `Kitchen Nightmares' where Ramsay examines a failing restaurant and makes a series of recommendations for how to improve the restaurant's business fortunes. This book focuses almost exclusively on good recipes as a means of burnishing a restaurant's reputation. A few very insightful sidebars reveal both some of the really terrible things restaurateurs can do to lead to failure and some non-culinary suggestions Ramsay has made to tighten up a restaurant's allure to the public, but the book is largely about the `...over 100 brand-new recipes'.

It is important to note that if you simply cannot deal with metric culinary measurements then stop now and check out books by Nigella Lawson or Jamie Oliver if your heart is set on something by a contemporary Brit culinarian. All of Ramsay's measurements are in grams or milliliters with no Imperial or avoirdupois equivalencies provided. The other side of the coin is that if you really want to take the plunge into working with culinary metric, this is a perfect book for you, as you will be working `without a net'. One other aspect of Ramsay's method for giving ingredients is a bit noisome. Unlike everyone else in the known universe for the last 40 years, Ramsay gives all his ingredients in `run-on' style, where two or more ingredients and their measurements may be on one line separated by a backslash (/). I see no logical reason for this and if it were not for some of the very fine recipes found in this book, I would dismiss this and all of Ramsay's other books for this reason, but the man has an unquentiable passion for fine cooking and he does a very good job of passing some of that passion on to his readers.

On the few appearances I have seen of Ramsay on `Kitchen Nightmares' and a different U.S. show, one can get the impression that he is an obnoxious ogre in kitchen whites and striped blue apron. While reflection on his on camera persona reveals that he is simply one or two steps further toward the absolute perfectionist than you see in Jamie Oliver in his superb `Jamie's Kitchen' series. It seems the Brit chefs are simply not as interested in on-camera political correctness as their Yankee colleagues.

One may easily take issue with Ramsay's claim to be giving us `...over 100 brand-new recipes' since there is more than one very familiar dish name found here such as `The Ultimate Caesar Salad' and the `Poached Salmon Nicoise' and I am just a bit concerned that Ramsay may give a reader the impression that his recipe for these two classics are the `true' recipes and others are dumbed down versions. Both of his recipes for these two salads are his own interpretations and are not `authentic'.

One last quibble before I launch into the excellent reasons for buying and studying this book. There are more than the usual number of ingredients with distinctly British names, far more than the usual `rocket' for arugula and aubergines for eggplants. Some I simply could not interpret and the photographs of the relevant dishes were of little help.

Putting all of that to one side, Ramsay is about as committed to making good food as I have ever seen. His passion combined with his attention to detail is so great that it even puts Emeril Lagasse's public culinary persona to shame.

One small but significant symptom of this perfectionism is the lengths to which he goes to point out when preparations simply must be used immediately and if they do have shelf lives, he tends to give them shorter shelf lives than other writers. While most people will say that preparations will hold in the freezer for 3 months, Ramsay rarely says more than two months. And, while he does not say much about it, his technique is very, very French. It is only a dedicated French chef who spends as much time as Ramsay straining and restraining sauces. But, he is also very much on the side of the angels when it comes to light dishes. One very important technique I take from this book is his diluting vinaigrettes with water. That is, replacing 1/3 of the vinegar with water to soften the acid bite.

In spite of all the refining and straining, I really find his recipes relatively simple. The only caveat is that several of his recipes require long prep times, sometimes as long as overnight or at least several hours of marinading. I even think he gets a bit too simple as with his bouillabaisse recipe of less than a full page.

Even if you have no intention of going 100% metric, if you are a dedicated foodie, you may still want to read this book for the many insights Ramsay has in making good food and setting up a good restaurant.

Book Description

How do people practice religion in their everyday lives? How do our daily encounters with people who hold different religious beliefs shape the way we understand our own moral and spiritual selves? In Heaven's Kitchen, Courtney Bender takes a highly original approach to answering these questions. For more than a year she worked in New York City as a volunteer for a nonprofit, nonreligious organization called God's Love We Deliver, helping to prepare home-cooked meals for people with AIDS. Paying close attention to what was said and not said, Bender traces how the volunteers gave voice to their moral positions and religious values. She also examines how they invested their conversations, and mundane activities such as cooking, with personal meaning that in turn affected how they saw their own spiritual lives. Filled with vibrant storytelling and rich theoretical insights, Heaven's Kitchen shows faith as a living practice, reshaping our understanding of the role of religion in contemporary American life.

Intriguing Study.......2007-08-13

What a wonderful book. Nicely written; thoughtful; and insightful. Professor Bender of Columbia University spent months observing the actions, conversations, and ideas of volunteers and workers at God's Love We Deliver in New York. What she found abounded in ironies about religion and spirituality in the everyday lives of people. Dr. Bender found that an organization with "God" in the title actually had very little overt conversation about God; Dr. Bender found that volunteers brought spiritual feelings to their work, often in the silences and quiet times of the labor. This is a fabulous book about religion in everyday life and how people make sense of their spiritual lives in various means. Recommended for all scholars of religion in America and for those interested in spirituality and volunteer organizations.
