Book Description
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is Robert Sabuda's most amazing creation ever, featuring stunning pop-ups illustrated in John Tenniel's classic style. The text is faithful to Lewis Carroll's original story, and special effects like a Victorian peep show, multifaceted foil, and tactile elements make this a pop-up to read and admire again and again.

MY LITTLE ALICE.......2007-10-22
We just finished with the production of Alice in Wonderland and I bought this for the three Alice's that performed in this role...They LOVED it!!! It was a hit with all the children as well as the adults. Beautiful illustrations!!
Linette Welshinger
Beautiful!.......2007-10-10
Being someone of Alice obsession, I was THRILLED with this book.
The detail is so impressive and beautiful.
If you're wondering if it is worth the price...
Don't give it another thought.
Everyone I have ever showed this book too thought it was 'jaw dropingly' impressive.
I wouldn't advice anyone under 15 to own this book, it is just so fragile.
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Pop-up Book Robert Sabuda.......2007-08-07
I have most of the wonderful Robert Sabuda pop-up books and this one is a delightful addition to my collection. I can't get over the skill required to produce these books - how can they possibly mass produce them? Spectacular. These are far too delicate and fragile for small children - although you could hold them and open the pop-ups to show them, as small children will be enchanted to see the pictures. As an adult, I find them small works of art and enjoy owning and looking at them frequently. I had some out at Christmas and our guests were so happy with them I believe a few bought some for themselves. This is a particularly charming version of the Alice story, less frightening and psychotic than some versions, and so lends itself particularly well to enjoying the gorgeous pop-up images.
Interesting.......2007-06-21
Really interesting and amazing book. Not really for kids. Need an adult to operate effectively. It's hard to get your grandkids to keep their hands off it and let you read/work it for them. Almost overly complex - too many flaps and pop-ups.
Gorgeous.......2007-06-18
So happy with this purchase. Beautiful workmanship and detail. Amazing.

Book Description
Smith, Burke, Marx, Durkheim, Polanyi and Hayek--all sought to situate market exchange and property-based acquisitiveness in the broader context of human interaction and social values. This book explores that framework of interdependence and ethics that embeds the capitalist market economy in an ongoing whole of which the calculative present-day is but a part. It argues that the stability of conservatism anchors the dynamism of entrepreneurship in a matrix of patterns and habits without which orderly free enterprise would be at risk of degenerating into the Hobbesian war of each against all.

Book Description
In recent years, Japan's economy has gone from model of success to object lesson in failure. William W. Grimes offers a richly detailed insider's view of the key macroeconomic policies and events in contemporary Japan, as well as a close examination of the causes and effects of these upheavals. A new preface sets the book's findings in the context of the continuing intensification of Japan's financial woes.
It is difficult to believe that the "Bubble Economy" of the late 1980s and the failed attempts at economic stimulation in the following decade both arose from the same policies. In Unmaking the Japanese Miracle, Grimes shows that this is precisely what happened. Focusing less on what went wrong than on why it went wrong, Grimes finds that mistaken macroeconomic policies-loose money in the late 1980s, excessively tight money until 1992, and only grudging use of expansionary fiscal policy until 1998-largely caused Japan's economic problems.
Based on scores of interviews with Japanese policymakers, his is the first political explanation of why these catastrophic policies were carried out by the Ministry of Finance, the Bank of Japan, and the Diet. Various economic shocks were met, Grimes says, with a consistent and often inappropriate pattern of responses. This pattern has fundamentally altered because of changes within the three policymaking institutions since 1998.

An Absurd Book That Exaggerates Japan's Woes.......2007-02-24
This is yet another in a seemingly endless series of books by U.S. authors that grossly overstate Japan's economic woes. The fact is, the West is hopelessly in the dark these days as to the real state of Japan's economy.
In the 1980s, the Western media portrayed Japan as an unstoppable economic titan that was on the verge of conquering the whole world and relegating America to the status of an economic backwater.
Then, in the 1990s (and continuing to the present day), the Western media abruptly reversed itself 180 degrees and would now have us believe that Japan's economy has melted down and the nation is mired in a hopeless Great Depression style crisis.
The fact is, the Western media was wrong on Japan in the 1980s and it is again wrong today.
Despite what this book would have us believe, Japan is actually enjoys a very healthy economy. True, the stock market is somewhat stagnant (but as a number of authors have pointed out, this "problem" is grossly exaggerated in the U.S. media---Japan's economy is structured fundamentally different from the U.S. economy and its companies take a long term view, rather that the U.S.-style view of simply looking ahead to the next fiscal quarter).
For a nation that is supposedly mired in a deep funk as Grimes would have us believe, the fact is, Japan has enormous strengths these days. Japan is the world's leader in ultra-sophisticated, high-tech manufacturing. It is one of the world's leading exporters. It enjoys high savings rates that dwarf the savings rates of supposedly "prosperous" America. What's more, Japan is the world's leader in a growing array of crucial industries of the future, from renewable energy technologies to exotic new materials to robotics to aerospace. (To give just one example, Boeing's new Dreamliner jet is actually more of a Japanese product than an American one; an astonishing fact when you consider than Japanese wages today are 30 percent HIGHER than American wages).
What's interesting is that Japan's current account surplus today actually is vastly larger than what Japan recorded in the supposedly "booming" 1980s.
Indeed, it is Japanese capital that is essential (along with capital from China) to propping up the Ponzi-scheme-like U.S. economy. Were it not for Japan's billions, flowing into our nation yearly, the U.S. dollar would collapse.
So why do so many Japanese politicians and policy-makers serve up a tale of doom-and-gloom in talking to Grimes? Well, for a start, if Grimes had done his homework, he'd realize that the Japanese are notorious for bad-mouthing their own nation, (particularly in the presence of gaijin). The Japanese have a culture of ritualized self-modesty.
If you want to know how Japan is really doing these days, there's really no substitute for actually visiting that nation. I think most Americans would be astonished to see, first-hand, just how high tech and prosperous Japan is these days. Spend a couple of weeks in Japan and then, when you return to the U.S., it's like entering a Third World nation by comparison.
Let's ignore all accountability and pass the buck.......2006-03-03
The very premise and design of this book is that the criminals that mismanaged the Japanese economy for the last 20 years are a good source of information and analysis on this great failure. As if we would want the Enron officials to tell us the true story of why it collasped. The real cutting edge research on Japan's decline constantly emphasizes the failure of the 120 year old bureaucratic system that manages the country without regard to accountability, performance, or ability to punish violaters of public trust. In Japanese these high bureaucrats are called "Gods from Heaven" because they have lifetime tenure, no oversight, no fiscal resposibility, and are never subject to elections or public scrutiny. Its actually more corrupt than China or Malaysia but with a much slicker PR department. Japan is one of the very few countries where the bureaucrats are much more powerful than the Congress or even the Prime minister but at the same time have No democracy, no accountability, and no method of changing or adapting to modern society. Enjoy !!! Professor Alan Partee
So everyone had their reason? That doesn't justify anything........2002-08-16
I'd say this is a bad case of over-research or losing objectivity. It's a formidable work that he's put in. He has interviewed numerous top officials in the Bank of Japan, Ministry of Finance and Politicians to dig into the current Japanese recession. But the conclusion that he draws is as follows;
a. BOJ were under pressure, so they couldn't do anything.
b. MOF was busy, and they had no other choice.
c. Politicians had other interests, so they weren't available.
d. So, there was nothing that could have been done (or could be done in the future) to avoid (or get out of) the Japanese recession.
Now, this is meaningless. Of course everybody has some excuses if you ask them. I guess the Nazis had their reason for their gas chambers, too, and most of them "couldn't do anything." Stalin would have said he had no other choice. But should we just say "oh well" and let it go? I don't think so. What has happend, happened, but one point of thinking about history is to figure out the options that might have been taken to prepare for future situations. This book doesn't do that, it simply justifies the status quo.
This often happens when you get to close to the subject and sympathize too much.
His attitude is apparent in his arguments about the inflation targetting argument proposed by Krugman (and almost every other economist right and left). He discribes that BOJ can't do it, the current law doesn't allow it. Well, who said BOJ has to do it alone? But Grimes never even thinks about any possiblity of changing the present, or the possible merits that it would bring IF it happened.
That's the limit of this book. Three stars for the considerable research effort, but this is a result of much perspiration and no inspiration.
Oh, and next time, get a better caligrapher for the cover.

Book Description
Founded in 1978 by architect Steven Holl and bookseller William Stout in an attempt to skirt the editorial control of the reigning architectural magazine culture, Pamphlet Architecture has been disrupting the status-quo ever since. This series of small experimental volumes has introduced important ideas and spurred much-needed debate among students and practitioners alike.
Pamphlet Architecture 23 carries on this tradition with a book selected in an open competition. Johanna Saleh Dickson's entry was chosen from over seventy submissions received from architects, academics, and students from across the nation and around the world.
Her pamphlet investigates the events of May 13, 1985, when a bomb was dropped by police on a Philadelphia row house in order to evacuate its residents-members of the radical organization MOVE. The fire that ensued killed 11 MOVE members and destroyed an entire city block. Tainted by these traumatic events, the reconstructed house located on the site has stood unoccupied for nearly two decades. Dickson proposes an architectural treatment that might facilitate and promote healing within the affected community.
A call for ideas for Pamphlet 24 has already gone out. A winner will be selected in September of this year and the next innovative project will be published in spring of 2003.

Couldn't put it down.......2006-07-23
This is an amazing story of God's love and human perseverance. I sat down just to look through the book "for a minute" and 2 hours later I was still reading. This book will inspire you!

With one brief phone call, Judy Martin-Urban's life changed forever. Her deeply personal portrayal of the complexity of mourning her grandson while remaining hopeful of her daughter's survival and recovery will touch everyone who reads it. Judy openly acknowledges all of her conflicting emotions surrounding the car accident. Her honest discussion of the accident itself and the devastation that resulted underscores the fact that one choice can change an entire family forever. It took a great deal of courage and faith to share her family so publicly. The book is enhanced by Courtney's description of recovering from traumatic brain injury. It is an effective juxtaposition to read the account from the mother/grandmother and then to read how it feels from Courtney's point of view. This book should be in every traumatic brain injury recovery center and support group library.

Book Description
"Half my time and energy as a New Yorker is given to keeping all aspects of the outside world outside; to such a degree that it might seem as if I were manning the walls of some medieval fortress, the only difference being that the Goths, and the Huns, and the other marauding hordes of centuries past had nothing on, say, those restaurant guys who shove menus under your door. . . ."
Thousands of readers first discovered Danny Drennan through his addictive on-line weekly wrap-ups of Beverly Hills 90210. Now here are his manic, wickedly funny stream-of-consciousness riffs on the uncelebrated but all-too-familiar daily dramas that could only take place in New York City. The trauma of brunch on the Upper West Side, the secret society of snooty dog owners, the diabolical subway-token clerks, the neighbor upstairs who perpetually carries trash in to the apartment but never out: Drennan chronicles his misadventures in the urban mosaic with comic edginess, irreverence, and a sardonic wit that are unmistakably his own.
The New York Diaries draws us into the singular world of Daniel Drennan--and announces the arrival of an irresistible new writer.

Fabulous!.......2001-07-02
I first became aware of Daniel Drennan through his online wrapups of "Beverly Hills 90210". His weekly commentary/recap became even more entertaining than watching the show. As the show began to tip the scales towards the "guilty" side of "guilty pleasure," even Danny gave up on it! And, boy did I miss his writing.
This book has all of the attitude, all of the style, all of the fascinating observations and none of the spoiled Beverly Hills kids. If you are from New York, or you have any interest in New York, or even if you think that people must be crazy to go anywhere near New York, you will find this book a fun and interesting read.
All too true........2001-05-12
One, if not many, of Daniel Drennan's stories of NYC pertain to every New Yorker's life. This book not only puts into words all of the things that you've thought of before but were-unable-to-put-into-words, but it will also leave you thinking, "Exactly!" after almost every opinion he gives. A must read.
Neurotic ranting? -- maybe. Insightful, laugh-out-loud.......1998-12-15
. . .funny, and all TOO TRUE-- definitely! This Drennan character is sick. Sick, I tell ya! Let's hope, for our sake, that he never gets well. Drennan's ability to articulate in words what other New Yorkers, at one time or another, have only been able to spasmodically mime to their analyst and/or passing-by police officer is kick-me- in-the-ass amazing! So much so that I began to read it slower in order to prolong the enjoyment ( this coming from a guy who eats a Big Mac in two, maybe three bites). If we're lucky, he's working on the sequel.
Leaves you wanting more!.......1998-10-29
I've been living in the Jersey 'burbs and schlepping in and out of the Apple for more than two decades. Drennan's right on mark! This is a very funny book, which will ring bells all over the place for anyone who's ever been a part of the "New York experience." Those of you who haven't, but would like a pithy glimpse, check this one out. My only "complaint" is that the thing's too short! But, as they say, it's always best to leave 'em wanting more. That's assuredly the case here.

Description:
Consistent with a family systems framework, this paper examines the clinical and research literatures to clarify the connection between chronic trauma exposure and family processes with a focus on the social ecology of low-income, urban neighborhoods. Strong empirical evidence demonstrates the impact of chronic trauma on individual family members and, in turn, on multiple family subsystems. Additionally, there is evidence that living under chronically harsh, traumatic circumstances slowly erodes family processes, specifically structure, relations, and coping. However, existing research reflects the problems inherent in sorting out relationships among multiple, often interrelated factors. Future research requires comprehensive theoretical models, such as systemic, transactional, or ecodevelopmental, along with sophisticated research designs, prospective, longitudinal or intervention, and multilevel analytic methods.

Description:
This paper is concerned with developing methods for assessing the potential impact of healthy public policies on health outcomes, particularly on dental trauma. The hypothesis is that in deprived areas of Curitiba, Brazil, there would be a lower prevalence of dental trauma in 12-year-old schoolchildren related to different degrees of implementation of healthy public policies. Fourteen socio-environmental variables gathered from 29 deprived areas were factor-analysed and three principal components (PCA) extracted: physical environment, public social policies, and social cohesion. Individual clinical data on dental trauma were collected for 2126 children from public schools in the areas. Rank correlation indicated that the relationship between components' scores and dental trauma was statistically significant. The PCA scores explained 42% of the variance for dental trauma.

From the author: Objective: In health promotion studies, young age, male gender, low education, and substance use have been found to be relevant predictors of loss to follow-up. The purpose of this study was to assess factors of loss to follow-up after screening and tailored brief advice for alcohol problems in an emergency department setting. Method: A randomized controlled intervention study was conducted and followed up at 12 months. At baseline (T0), 2,562 consecutive trauma patients (62.1% male) were screened for substance use (smoking, alcohol consumption, and illicit drug use) and for socioeconomic factors (income, relationship status, and education). Patients with five points or more in the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test randomly received tailored brief advice on alcohol and were followed up at 3 (T3), 6 (T6), 9 (T9), and 12 months (T12). Results: At baseline, median age was 32 years (range: 18-89). There was a loss of 950 participants (37.1%) from T0 to T12. Loss to follow-up was strongly dependent on social factors. In participants with a high school diploma, only smoking was predictive of loss to follow-up (odds ratio [OR] = 1.81, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.43-2.29). In participants with no high school diploma, alcohol problems alone predicted loss to follow-up (medium level of alcohol problems, OR = 1.57, 95% CI = 1.09-2.27; high level of alcohol problems, OR = 1.62, 95% CI = 0.96-2.76;p = .017). Smoking (OR = 1.35, 95% CI = 0.97-1.89) and, for smokers, age 18-31 years (OR = 1.65, 95% CI = 0.98-2.78) showed a tendency toward an increased risk of loss to follow-up. Conclusions: After screening and a brief intervention in an emergency department, substance use and differences in education level predicted loss to follow-up. Patients with alcohol problems and no high school diploma are at increased risk of becoming lost to follow-up.
