The Way of a Boy: A Memoir of Java

Customer Reviews:

a truly great book.......2001-03-02

i am 16 years old and read this book for the first time last year. i truly enjoyed reading the book. i am not into books which have a difficult plot or a lot of long words but anyone can undersatnd this book. i cant imagine what the boy would have went through and had to keep on reminding myself that this actually happened. i definitely do not think that this book is given the credit in which it is worth. reading the book makes you realise what a good life you have compared to what the boy went through. so go out and read the book now. p.s. have a box of tissues ready!!!

innocence.......2000-03-15

The story is beyond an ugliness of human nature.How any one dare to challenge "How about Hiroshima ?" The boy is above all these and almost religius. The Japanese Emperor and the Governmentaologized for the undue cruelities inflickted on the internees, but the most interesting thing is that they did no do so to their own people who were victims themselves under the Japanese Military systems.

an excellent read--I recommend it.......1999-11-02

A decided to read this book after I heard the news that a movie based on it staring Jane Seymour will be filming next year. I read it only to better understand the movie, and was extremely surprised at what an excellent story I found it to be. It is told from the perspective of a little boy, about his struggles and triumphs, and the little things that help him cope with life in a concentration camp run by Japanese. If you think this is your typical "WW II survivor story", guess again. As I was reading I forgot the book was about a concentration camp. It became the story of a ordinary boy and his mother, and their day-to-day life amidst a horrific background. The harsh reality is it is a true story. I hope the movie does it justice. This book is extremely under-rated. It is up to par with Oprah's book club books. Please read it, and I think you will be surprised. If anyone knows how I can contact the author, please let me know.

It would be difficult to identify three American scientists whose work had a greater effect on world politics than Robert Oppenheimer, Ernest Lawrence, and Edward Teller. This exhaustive account of how they worked together (and competed against each other) on the development of the atomic and hydrogen bombs is more a story of people than science. Author Gregg Herken of the Smithsonian Institution informs us, for instance, of Oppenheimer's "riotous parties" in the 1930s, in which latecomers would see "the top physicists of their generation, drunk and crouched on all fours, playing a version of tiddly-winks on the geometric patterns of Oppenheimer's Navajo rug." Despite a few light touches, Brotherhood of the Bomb is no breezy profile of three great minds. Instead, it is a serious look at invention, rivalry, and betrayal. One of the central episodes involves Oppenheimer's too-cozy relationship with radical-left politics--he carelessly associated with Communists, even though he occupied one of the most sensitive jobs in the U.S. government during the cold war--and Teller's momentous decision to testify against him. This event is one of the most controversial in the annals of American science, and Herken tells it straight, with barely a word of editorial comment. Fans of Richard Rhodes will enjoy this triple biography, as will anybody with an interest in science, politics, and top-secret security clearances. --John J. Miller

Book Description

The story of the twentieth century is largely the story of the power of science and technology. Within that story is the incredible tale of the human conflict between three men-Robert Oppenheimer, Ernest Lawrence, and Edward Teller-the scientists most responsible for the advent of weapons of mass destruction. How did science, enlisted in the service of the state during the Second World War, become a slave to its patron during the Cold War-and scientists with it? The story of these three men, is fundamentally about loyalty-to the country, to science, and to each other-and about the wrenching choices that had to be made when these allegiances came into conflict. Gregg Herken gives us the behind-the-scenes account based upon a decade of research, interviews, and new documents. Brotherhood of the Bomb is a vital slice of American history told authoritatively-and grippingly-for the first time.

Opje was an Elfin King of Many a Thing..........2006-03-16

Thunderous clouds, brilliant purple and multicolor radioactive plumes jettisoning what were once precious sought after kilograms of chemistry's beyond bizzare materials. Such is the ballad that was played one mid-July morning, 1945, at Trinity Test Site, some 20 miles east south east of San Antonio, NM, after years of ingenius experimental and theoretical work, computation, sweating, rivalry, and finally utterly destructive convergeancey into one of modern science's most awe inspiring gadgets. 'The gadget' as it would come to be called, set off much else than meagerly its own wired and machined self - in the process of self-detonation, the world's first atom bomb brought about, unexpectedly and unforseen, a world's first feat, an end to a world conflict, - Pacific front - a murky arms race with juxtaposed cold war, and, in the end one of mankinds most thrilling achievements. Insofar as today's youth can but arbitrarily surmount such things as 'shock waves' or 'nonlinear implosionary ballistics dynamics,' fresh-faced prodigys, physics phenoms, and other human wonder-brains pulled off not only calculations of destiny, but together made Los Alamos into the 'biggest collection of eggheads ever assembled.' The conflict-laden tale of Robert Oppenheimer (head of Project Manhatten, razor-sharp intellect, lead bomb scientist), Ernest Lawrence (brilliant, charismatic, enthusiastic, well-liked Rad Lad originator and Nobel Laureate for his cyclotron radiation experiments), and 'the only monomaniac to suffer from multiple manias, Beethoven piano playing in nothing but fortissimo, Hungarian figurehead, H-bomb creator (sort of)' Edward Teller. Three characters starkly in contrast to each other's standout, signature diacritics: Oppenheimer as excessively learned linguist and rapid assimilator; Lawrence as driven lab leader with a taste for breaking particle accelerator barriers; Teller as European half-scientist, half-artist idea maker. What was to be born in each of these men's dreams - however much in contrast those drifting epiphanies may have been - manifested themselves first on paper as drawing or formulae, then as physical device or working instrument. Brotherhood of the Bomb is indeed a story of the tangled correspondances and relationships forged and endured throughout the war, but it is more than that. It delves deep into personal convictions, dilemmas, creativity, mystifying outcomes of the scientific method and journey, and controversial until-now-unspoken tid bits from an era of Top Secrecy. Remembering such times is difficult to say the very least even for the men, and women, directly involved. This is perhaps so because the people at the fore, engrossed in whatever field of research, were themselves in every way imaginable enigmas - contradictions in motion in several instances. Loyalties would become circumspect, motives would held under microscope, but inevitably the real impact of a product of incomprehensible physics is to be realized most dismayingly. Costs and benefits aside, a history of an odyssey only meant for storybooks is casually uncovered via the recorded conversations and testimonies of some of America's cleverest progenitors of atomic energy and its later fabrications (i.e. Three Mile Island incident frenzy). If anything, the clueless sees an open door into the realm of nuclear technology's immemorial upbringing(s) and drama(s). Even six decades later, the actual underpinnings of the bomb are little understood except in major institutions and classified memos/docs. This title's innards unearth a memoir so shockingly abstract, it has to be reread repeatedly in order to grasp any certain feel for what occured, what prompted its occurence, and what eventuated beyond zero hour in New Mexicos vaguely populated regions - similar to spotting a haystack enveloping a needle, you pick the size.
In a land of enchantment, one may yet find green-hued intense-heat-fused silicates of that moment in history when thermodynamicist, hydrodynamicisit, theoretist in general all let out a gargantuan 'Yahoo!' predating Google's punching bag companion of a search engine.
Echoes no longer may be detected in now and then restricted spaces, but on that morning just following a timely (to them painstakingly unwelcomed) foreshadowing thunderstorm of nature's ever present wrath, the genie was unleashed...never to be resealed. Loose for purposes unknown and grandiose. Rustically elegant though the desert may be, a flash of a thousand suns was never intentionally in store, or until it became apparent by sight and sound... as well as indetectible rays of near cosmic intensity and proportion.
This book is so well written I don't dare try to emulate or mimic its prose. Intimate details of the three protagonists nearest the atom bomb's core are intriguingly lurid, stunning in places, still somehow comforting to those who care about science and its indisputable power and constant legacy. One physicist I would like to have seen mentioned more is John Von Neumann, who essentially single-handedly - by rigorously furthering the conceptual drafts of Neddermeyer through mathematical construct and logical proof - theorized implosion, amongst a vast array of other topics and subjects only a rare but true polymath could conjure (Claude Shannon is another). Without Von Neumann there is no Super, no computer architecture, no game theory, no quantum mechanics (or at least its 'Group Theory' aspects) and no non-fictional inspiration for generations succeeding.
Also, of due notoriety is the background and determined leadership of General Leslie R. Groves - lead construction planner of the Pentagon and Project Manhatten organizer possessing immense profundity of temperance and sensibilty.

Worthy of a Shakespearean Drama.......2005-07-20

The overwhelming egos which worked together on the bomb and became a part of the fallout after Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Informative, unbiased, a bit turgid .......2005-07-15

"Brotherhood of the Bomb" is very good for its first hundred pages as it details the early careers of physicists Ernest Lawrence, Robert Oppenheimer, and Edward Teller. Thereafter, the book gets a little too fact-laden and turgid, but it is still a worthwhile book to make your way through. The author strives for, and mostly achieves, an objective account of the scientific and political controversies surrounding Robert Oppenheimer.

The book is good in that it gives recognition to Lawrence as a pioneering atomic energy physicist and assigns only secondary roles to Oppenheimer and Teller in the early part of the book. The charismatic Oppenheimer, however, received the assignment of leading the team that built the first atomic bomb -- although General Leslie Groves, decidely uncharismatic, was really the man who managed the multi-faceted project and deserves at least equal credit with the scientists. Teller, also decidely uncharismatic, later managed the hydrogen bomb project and was a prominent voice in the scientific community until the 1980s.

The fascination of all the science is enhanced by Oppie's politics and the eventual denial of a security clearance for him to work for the U.S. government. The author describes Oppie's many leftist and Communist friends and contacts -- as investigated by the FBI and military security -- in great detail. In most accounts, Teller is the dastardly villain who declines to recommend Oppie for a renewal of his security clearance -- and Oppie forever after will be a hero to those who see this as a vast injustice. I hardly think it was all that big a deal. Oppie didn't go to jail, he didn't lose his job, he wasn't disgraced in the scientific community -- if anything his reputation and fame were enhanced. All that happened to Oppie was that he was denied the opportunity to work on bigger and better bombs within the US government.

Teller, in one divergent view, was the man of conscience who expressed his view and will be forever punished for it. While I would be surprised to learn that Oppie was a spy, rational people could certainly believe that he was a potential security threat; many of his closest associates and relatives were Communists and his past political behavior had been reckless for a man entrusted with the most sensitive secrets of the U.S. government. As the old saw goes, you are judged by the company you keep -- and nobody in his right mind would have shared atomic secrets with many of Oppie's friends. (The Teller vs Oppenheimer controversy will undoubtedly continue through the ages.)

If you like this book, you might also look at Richard Rhodes' two monumental volumes on the development of the atomic and hydrogen bombs.

Interesting Subject - Not An Easy Read.......2005-05-18

This is the story of the atomic bomb and the hydrogen bomb and the brotherhood of men whose genius created the bomb. While the story is very interesting, the text is difficult to read. The book has excellent photographs of the period which are just amazing to see. The book has over 80 pages of notes and looks like some kind of legal paper.

Great Topic - Very Poorly Written.......2005-03-31

The book covers an amazing subject matter and I was excited to get it and dive into but. But after slogging through the first 100 pages, I had to see what other reviewers may have said on Amazon. I see that a few agree with me. The topic is one of the most amazing of our time, but the writing is horribly academic, boring, and poor. Gregg Herken's writing style (if one can even call it that) is similar to a law review article, where facts are piled up high, references are many, but any style and creativity is buried. In this book, it's does not exist. I would not recommend this to other to read.

Testimonials from weight watchers regarding 10 diet myths.......2006-08-18

The Weight Watchers Corporation is not going to give readers information just for the price of this book. "Weight Loss That Lasts" is written like an elaborate advertisement for the Weight Watcher classes. No specific facts are presented; chapter after chapter is a continual, repititious series of statements by satisfied Weight Watchers who were customer/participants. As I see it, this book is a bound and published brochure designed to bring more paying customers to the Weight Watchers classes in their areas.

A great start on the road to fitness..........2002-07-10

If you're overweight and out of shape and are serious about doing something about it, this is an excellent book to start off with. The information about the wonderful benefits of exercise were motivation enough for me to get started. I'm not sure why "jess" has a problem with Weight Watchers, since their program is very healthy and more practical to follow than anything else out there. For someone like me, who is new to exercise, it's just what I needed to read.

An overall comprehensive book to help the beginner........2002-06-21

I checked this book out at my public library and didn't note that it was published by Weight Watchers until I got it home. I don't have one particular thing against Weight Watchers but I don't particular care for them either hence I tended to ignore them altogether. This is 193 pages of lots of good, solid info on exercise, diet, vitamins and food plans. Having said this I would tell anyone that has had the opportunity to read any other popular fitness book not to get this book as it would definitely be a waste of your time.

There are drawings showing one exercise each for each body part. They are all fine but you definitely would need more exercises if you want to see any real benefit. There are some good drawings of stretches for each part of the body. The book does a credible job explaining the benefits of both weight bearing exercises and cardio exercises along with suggestions for a fitness test. There are also some meal plans in the back but beware they all use the Weight Watcher's point system.

My overall feeling is that if you are a novice to the exercise world then this is a good book to start with. It's well rounded, full of factual info and has just enough to get you interested. If you have been into reading fitness books, already started an exercise program this very basic info won't help you, it'll bore you as it only covers the starting fundamentals.

Great motivator.......2002-03-29

As someone whose weight has gone up and down since I was 12 and being an on again off again member of Weight Watchers for the past 3 years, I found this book to be very motivational. It provides great information about what a big role exercise plays in dropping pounds and staying healthy, as well as providing great recipe ideas and menu plans that follow the Weight Watchers points plan. I have read this book about 2-3 times and I find it extremely helpful anytime I need that extra push in the right direction.

Nice supplement to Weight Watchers food plan.......2001-06-09

To lose weight successfully, experts often suggest a combination of a good food plan, exercise and motivational techniques and suggestions. This book is an excellent basic guidebook for those new to exercise. While there are more detailed books out there, this one provides clear directions and pictures to help anyone get fitter and healthier. Combine this with a balanced eating program and you'll lose weight more quickly. Just remember- no book will keep the fork from your mouth or put your feet in those walking or running shoes. But if you're truly motivated, this will give you the guidance you need to accomplish your goals.

Asked what they want of a chef's cookbook, most readers would reply, good contemporary recipes I can actually make at home. This seemingly simple requirement can sometimes be lost in the rush to deliver signature dishes that serve to support or further reputation. Fortunately, that isn't the case with Inspired by Ingredients by Bill Telepan, chef at Manhattan's JUdson Grill. Noted for his fresh, direct cooking, Telepan gives readers 80-plus recipes for a wide range of year-round dishes. Emphasizing the need for really fresh ingredients, and organized by seasonal menus to support that contention, the book offers formulas for traditional fare like pea soup and coconut cake, as well as original dishes including Pan-Fried Trout with Baby Spinach, Bacon and Balsamic Vinegar; Roasted Acorn Squash with Hazelnuts and a Ham and Parsley Salad; Pasta with Mushrooms, Arugula and Peas; and The Chicken, a simple, savory JUdson Grill specialty. Included also is wise counsel like "if it tastes good it'll look fine," plus Thanksgiving and vegetarian menus. Sweets, such as Concord Grape Tart, Pear-Pecan Hamantaschen, and Sticky Fudge Pudding, are equally attractive. The book stands out for its direct and easy-going approach and, above all, its good taste. With photos, ingredient notes, and short biographies of local suppliers, whose provisions help to make Telepan's food as good as it is. --Arthur Boehm

Book Description

Bill Telepan is passionate about ingredients. He wants to know where his food comes from and how it's cared for before it finds its way into his pots and pans and onto the table. A familiar face at greenmarkets, he personally knows the men and women who sell there. He buys locally and cooks seasonally. Hailed by Gourmet magazine as "one of the most thoughtful chefs in Manhattan," Telepan says, "It's about flavor first," and creates inventive, mouthwatering dishes that celebrate the seasons and showcase the best that local farmers have to offer.

In Inspired by Ingredients: Market Menus and Family Favorites from a Three-Star Chef, Telepan, who was chef of Midtown Manhattan's JUdson Grill for six years and cooked at such three- and four-star restaurants as Le Bernardin, Le Cirque, and Gotham Bar and Grill, shares his passion in a cookbook that is both exciting and resoundingly practical; it is full of bold, enticing flavors and sound everyday advice for shopping and cooking. There are chapters for every season, each composed of three theme menus, a special-occasion menu, a make-ahead meal, as well as recipes grouped by ingredient or technique, such as peas in the spring and preserving in the summer. The chapter Dishes for All Seasons includes recipes that satisfy no matter what the calendar says; and there are classics from Bill's restaurant menus, such as The Chicken and Potato-Crusted Crab Cakes. Whether it's a dessert inspired by a favorite childhood treat or a fresh, elegant twist on spaghetti carbonara, each dish is wonderfully appealing and truly delicious. There are profiles of Bill's favorite farmers and suppliers, and wine notes from distinguished wine expert Beth von Benz accompany each recipe.

Illustrated with Quentin Bacon's glorious photographs, Inspired by Ingredients brings the freshest flavors of the market to the table and will inspire home cooks everywhere.

Telepan is an immense talent.......2007-06-17

What an angry fellow who wrote that previous review. All over the map and yet nothing to say.

Why buy cookbooks, dude? Hasn't it all been said and done already? Don't write us any more reviews of cookbooks then, please.

As for Bill Telepan, just go eat at his new restaurant in Manhattan, simply called "Telepan". An amazing place to eat.

I for one was interested in what Bill had to say about cooking after eating at his fabulous new restaurant and previously at "Judson Grille" where he previously worked.

And you want to know something else? Bill is an extremely likeable, down to earth guy.

Another New York chef's Cookbook. Yawn........2004-11-26

`Inspired by Ingredients' is by a wannabe New York City celebrity chef Bill Telepan, assisted by major culinary assistant writer Andrew Friedman. The author extols fresh seasonal cooking, graduated from the Culinary Institute of America, has staged with major American and French star chefs, and organizes his dishes by season. Alert the media! My hackneyed sarcasm here is based on the fact that this book is so much about nothing new. On top of these tired assets, there is the fact that Telepan assisted in restaurants under both Daniel Boulud and Albert Portale. As I already own a half dozen books by these major chefs who are known for both the skill and innovation in their recipes, so why do I want a book by one of their apostles? I will be really happy when restaurant chefs gild their books with praise for using fresh ingredients and for extolling their illustrious career path and success with important reviewers such as Ruth Reichl or the Michelin guide. Both of these are legally purely circumstantial when it comes to how good their cookbook may be.

There are some things in Telepan's book which redeem the picture of mediocre copycat painted in the previous paragraph. The first evidence of quality is co-author Andrew Friedman. Friedman is credited with assisting in the writing of Albert Portale's books, but he was also co-author on Tom Valenti's two books, both of which I found to be of a high quality in writing and recipe composition. The second is the fact that Telepan's family background is Hungarian and several of his recipes are interpretations of classic Hungarian dishes. This may not mean much to a person with an Italian or French or Spanish, or even German or English heritage, but to us poor scions of Hungarian grandparents, this means a lot. The index to this book cites four (4) Hungarian influenced dishes. These are an apple pie with caramel sauce, a cabbage and potato soup with kielbasa, cabbage and noodles, and lemon-poppy seed bars. After my initial anticipation upon reading about the Hungarian influence, I was really disappointed to find but four Hungarian influenced dishes, two of which are desserts and one of which is not really a recipe from an accomplished chef, but just a contrived interview between chef and Hungarian mother about how she makes the dish. In contrast, there are ten (10) recipes based on Italian influences. I really don't need another book by a New York chef with Italian influenced recipes. I can get all I want on this theme from Mario Batali, Rocco DiSpirito, and Tom Colicchio. At least they are Italian.

I did find one other thing to interest me, in that the chef-author includes a lot of recipes for fresh peas, which happens to be one of my favorite vegetables, and, he has several good tips on getting the best from this ingredient. Otherwise, most of his tips, such as how to find the best point at which to trim asparagus and how to do a perfect hard-boiled egg seem pretty tired to anyone who dotes on the Food Network or has read more than two good general cookbooks. Note that the author makes heavy use of some very uncommon ingredients such as ramps, fresh morels, and purslane. My generally very well stocked megamart has never carried any of these ingredients, and since I live 90 miles from the Union Square market, I have a hard time determining where I may find these ingredients. Also, the book's design and photography have nothing whatsoever to distinguish it from a good buy from the discount stacks. As even Alfred Portale's books have found their way to the discount lists, I do not expect much from this book. I am inclined to believe Simon & Schuster simply decided not to commit many resources to this project.

My final comment is that these recipes are well written, quite obviously tasty (the amount of heavy cream in play alone will guarantee this), and are well chosen for anyone who does not already own 300 cookbooks. If you are especially fond of cookbooks by New York chefs and already own the collected works of Eric Rippert, Alfred Portale, Tom Colicchio, Daniel Boulud, David Bouley, and Tony Bourdain, this book will fit right in.
