Book Description
In this provocative monograph, Bertram Malle describes behavior explanations as having a dual nature -- as being both cognitive and social acts -- and proposes a comprehensive theoretical model that integrates the two aspects. When people try to understand puzzling human behavior, they construct behavior explanations, which are a fundamental tool of social cognition. But, Malle argues, behavior explanations exist not only in the mind; they are also overt verbal actions used for social purposes. When people explain their own behavior or the behavior of others, they are using the explanation to manage a social interaction -- by offering clarification, trying to save face, or casting blame. Malle's account makes clear why these two aspects of behavior explanation exist and why they are closely linked; along the way, he illustrates the astonishingly sophisticated and subtle patterns of folk behavior explanations.
Malle begins by reviewing traditional attribution theories and their simplified portrayal of behavior explanation. A more realistic portrayal, he argues, must be grounded in the nature, function, and origins of the folk theory of mind -- the conceptual framework underlying people's grasp of human behavior and its connection to the mind. Malle then presents a theory of behavior explanations, focusing first on their conceptual structure and then on their psychological construction. He applies this folk-conceptual theory to a number of questions, including the communicative functions of behavior explanations, and the differences in explanations given for self and others as well as for individuals and groups. Finally, he highlights the strengths of the folk-conceptual theory of explanation over traditional attribution theory and points to future research applications.

A Groundbreaking Contribution.......2006-01-04
This is one of those books that forces the reader to think about something important in a fresh way. The something important is the use of folk explanations of behavior. We constantly try to understand our own behavior and that of other people, using simple commonsense attributions. Many of these commonsense attributions have found their way into the self-help literature and have become the stuff of magazine articles and talk shows. Unfortunately, these commonsense attributions are often wrong.
Malle does something very interesting by describing explanations of behavior as both cogntive and social acts, and proceeds to show how this dual explanation provides a richness and texture that we have really missed in the past.
The book is well written, and does something that I regard as essential, but which is so often missing from contemporary books: he points out the counter arguments and makes some sensible suggestions for further research.

A Screenplay for Students of French.......2005-12-16
I'm a French teacher in a college prep high school. This book is nothing more than the screenplay for the movie of the same name. It doesn't pretend to be anything else, so if all you want to do is enjoy the movie there's no reason to read the book. But for students of French, what a wonderful way to learn! Just read the book, with the help of a good dictionary, then see the film. But I warn you that you have to be fairly advanced in the language before attempting to read the book. However, the rewards are considerable. First, it's a wonderful, touching story that has lessons for all. Secondly, your knowledge of the language will increase exponentially.
dissapointed.......2003-11-11
This is just a short screenplay of the movie and not really a memoir. Rent the excellent movie.
Wonderful book: one of the bests.......2001-08-26
When I read the first time this book I cryed. This is wonderful book about olochaust. It's wiewed by the eyes of a children. He study in a French college, where we meet an other student, a jewish student. They became friend. But as they try to look away from the war, that reality will overwhelm them, break their friendship and break up them for ever. It's the story of olochaust's injustice, that hit also the lamb: the children. It's a book very sad and will reduce you to tears. I suggest everyone to read it.
Very good and very sad.......2000-04-14
I loved this book and the movie. It was great how it showed France being occupied by the Germans during World War II through the eyes of a child. I saw the movie in my French class and I was so touched and so sad about what these kids had to go through. I would reccomend this book to anyone and everyone.
Quentin Tarantino Liked it..........1998-08-21
First of all, the book was great, and that's all that needs to be said about that... Now, I'm not Quentin Taratino, but, when he worked in a video store, this movie was one of his favorites. He referred to it as "The Reservoir Film" because he couldn't pronounce the frech title. This movie was supposedy one of th reasons he named his own film, "The Reservoir Dogs"...

Book Description
With films like Les Amants and Le Souffle au coeur, Atlantic City and Au Revoir les enfants, French writer-director Louis Malle compiled a remarkable 40-year career, creating thirty acclaimed features and documentaries. Despite this success, Malle's work has not received the critical attention it is due--largely because for nearly thirty years, several of his films remained unavailable to the public.
This is the first book-length critical study of Malle's entire oeuvre, covering The Silent World (1956) through Vanya on 42nd Street (1994). Here, Malle's work is approached non-theoretically on a film-by-film basis; each motion picture is examined as an individualistic, self-referential exploration of its own subjects and themes, with form and style relative to content. The darker, more provocative side of Malle's films is also explored, and the director's need to challenge his audiences ethically is addressed. Film analyses are supplemented by interviews with those who have worked with Malle.
A bibliography of major American, French and British books and articles on Malle is included, as is a Malle filmography, including cast and crew information, running times, years of release, production company data and a list of awards and award nominations for each film.

Book Description
One of the great challenges of social cognitive science is to understand how we can enter, or "read," the minds of others--that is, infer complex mental states such as beliefs, desires, intentions, and emotions. This book brings together leading scholars from psychology, neuroscience, and philosophy to present cutting-edge theories and empirical findings on this essential topic. Written in an engaging, accessible style, the volume examines the cognitive processes underlying mindreading; how interpersonal understanding and empathy develop across the lifespan; connections to language, communication, and relationships; and what happens when mindreading fails, in both normal and clinical populations.
Book Description
"[This collection] displays Vian's range from gallows humor to verbal fireworks, and happily serves to give visibility to this important writer."- Publishers Weekly. "Ultimately, Blues for a Black Cat is a collection of moral fables, albeit fables told in a cynical, mocking voice and set in a skewed version of the real world. Under the surface absurdity and verbal play, they offer serious indictments of human weakness and pretensions. Further, they reveal the spiritual emptiness just beneath our civilized façade. Vian's blues are not only for a black cat, but for a society without meaning."- Manoa. "[Blues for a Black Cat] brings back the nimble Vian in a collection of his short fiction, initially published as Les Fourmis in 1949. The work has the unmistakable flavor of the time and place, Claude Abadie's jazz band, the coded and absurdist messages of rebellion, the wistful fables, verbal riffs and goofy anarchic encounters; the mise-en-scene includes an expiring jazzman who sells his sweat, a cat with a British accent and a piano that mixes a cocktail when "Mood Indigo" is played."-Boston Globe. Boris Vian (1920-59), a trained engineer and jazz trumpet player, was a major literary figure in World War II France. Julia Older is the author or editor of many works. Her stories, translations, and poems have appeared in New Directions, the New Yorker, and many other journals.

Excellent !.......2000-04-23
I loved this book! It was a little wierd how the guys JUSTtalked about sex, but I guess guys are like that in reality.Anyways... I think that the guy on the cover is SO hot! And I just think that Andy & Andie are just the CUTEST couple! Anyways again... it showed the universal experience of either being in that position, or knowing someone in that position where people think that someone is easy when one rumor got started. I recommend this book to EVERYONE.
Awesome book!.......2000-03-27
This book was so cool. It shows what some highschools are like; you know the cool crowd, the nerd crowd, and the outcasts. It shows you the other person's point of view in a way that isn't boring. This is the best book I have ever read. It is a heartwarming some of the time and dramatic the rest. The characters were so realistic, that this book could be a nonfiction book. This is a book everyone should read. I will definitely read more in this series. I only wish it had a sequel.
great book.......2000-03-26
i think this book is an apsolute page turner. it is written about the exact topic all teenager are conserned about. it is exiting how Andie and ANdy choose what to do. the auther has done a terrific job.
Well written but very shallow.......2000-03-26
I usually dont read these books but since i was flying and i wanted something to read i picked it up. I was surprised that the book was quite well written but it was very very shallow. The people were just so obsessed with popularity.even in the end Andy's popular and shallow friends were more important to him than anything or anyone else.

Book Description
-Written for club and tournament players
Counters disparaging claims about this controversial opening.
Written by an extremely popular author, The Lativian Gambit Lives! shows that Black has numerous important resources that prove the validity of the gambit. Tony Kosten's previous book on the opening, The Latvian Gambit, sold well due to the subject's popularity among club players.
Customer Reviews:
A detailed labour of love about a very risky opening.......2007-02-09
Viktor Pupols, legendary Seattle chess Master, is a Latvian specialist, mostly in correspondence chess, but he also used it OTB including to beat a young Bobby Fischer. After meeting Pupols at a tournament and then reading the short book "Viktor Pupols: American Master" I decided to learn the Latvian in emulation of this great character. If you are so motivated, then the "Latvian Gambit Lives!" is a great book. It is one of the clearest yet highly detailed opening books I've seen. Kosten loves this opening and is a good writer.
The problem is: he can't really change the nature of the opening. I ultimately decided playing the Latvian is the equivalent of pulling the goalie in hockey...only in the 1st period with the game still tied. Yes, you may be able to get an attack going, but you're made it very easy for White to launch his own attack. Some other wild gambits (the Danish comes to mind) at least pose the opponent problems hard to solve OTB, but even unprepared White players are likely to find good lines against the Latvian.
Is it possible to write a good book about a bad opening? Kosten proves it is, but you can't be surprised if few people read it. Now if we could just convince Kosten to write a book on the Danish!
Well, maybe a better term would be "undead".......2005-02-26
This is a fine chess book on how to play the Latvian Gambit (1 e4 e5 2 Nf3 f5), for either side.
In my opinion, the Latvian Gambit is not sound. I think of all Black defences to 1 e4, it may be the one that maximizes White's play.
Still, you have a Right to play it! Don't let anyone deprive you of that right! Especially if you have Black against me!
The Latvian does get its share of points, albeit with rather few draws. It can be played in tournament games, five-minute games, and even correspondence games. You can play it against strong, average, or weak opponents. Contrary to popular belief, it does not take much effort to play it for Black. The ideas for Black are straightforward. If White wastes time, Black will get plenty of play. And if Black gets the chance, she'll probably castle quickly, open the f-file, and blast away at f2.
If, Caissa forbid, you want to play the Latvian for Black as though it were a sound defence, that means vowing to try to play the objectively strongest move at every opportunity after move 2 (if you did that at move two, you would have played 2...Nc6). And that's where this excellent book comes in handy. The main lines are easy to learn, and this book teaches them well.
The main line for White is 1 e4 e5 2 Nf3 f5 3 Nxe5 Qf6 4 d4 d6 5 Nc4 fxe4 6 Nc3 Qg6. Here, White has many tries, and if you simply must play this for Black, I recommend looking at the following lines in the book:
7 f3 exf3 8 Qxf3 Nf6 9 Bd3 Qg4
7 Bf4 Nf6 8 Qd2 Be7 9 0-0-0 0-0 (a popular choice for White, but I prefer Black here)
7 Ne3 Nf6 8 Be2 c6 9 0-0 Be7
7 Be3 Nf6 8 h3 Be7 9 Qd2 0-0 10 0-0-0 c6
7 Nd5 Qf7 8 Nde3 Nf6 9 Be2 Be7
7 Qe2 Nf6 8 f3 Nc6 9 Be3 Be7
7 d5 Nf6 8 Be3 Be7 9 Qd4 0-0 10 Nd2 c5
7 g3 Nf6 8 Bg2 Bg4 9 Qd2 Nc6
7 h3 Nf6 8 g4 Be7 9 g5 Nfd7
7 h4 Nf6 8 h5 Qf7 9 Bg5 d5
There are two dangerous White alternatives on move six:
6 Ne3 c6 7 Bc4 d5 8 Bb3 Be6 9 c4 Qf7 10 Qe2 Nf6 11 0-0 Bd6
6 Be2 Nc6 7 d5 Ne5 8 0-0 Nxc4 9 Bxc4 Qg6 10 Bb5+ Kd8 (a very good line for White)
Right now, the deadliest line for White is:
1 e4 e5 2 Nf3 f5 3 Nxe5 Qf6 4 Nc4 fxe4 5 Nc3 Qf7 6 Ne3 c6 7 d3 exd3 8 Bxd3 d5 9 0-0
In this line, I think you ought to look at 9...Bc5. But be sure you have an idea how to survive after 10 Nexd5 cxd5 11 Nxd5 Be6. If White plays 10 Na4 Bd6 11 c4 Ne7 12 Nc3 there is a new try for Black that Kosten does not mention, namely 12...0-0 13 cxd5 cxd5 14 Nexd5 Nxd5 15 Nxd5 Nc6 16 Nc3 Be5. The idea is to accept this position down a full pawn and try to draw it. It's Black's best chance.
Some people may try 1 e4 e5 2 Nf3 f5 3 Bc4 fxe4 4 Nxe5. That's a mistake. They obviously haven't read this book! You'll play 4...d5 5 Qh5+ g6 6 Nxg6 hxg6. At this point, White will probably think she's winning. But after 7 Qxh8 Kf7 8 Qd4 Be6, White generally stands worse. More likely, White will try something like 7 Qxg6+ Kd7 8 Bxd5 Nf6 9 Nc3 Qe7 10 d3 exd3 11 Be3 c6 12 Bb3 Bh6 13 0-0-0 Bxe3+ 14 fxe3 b6 after which she'll probably get into serious trouble. Or you may see 7 Qxg6+ Kd7 8 Qf7+ Qe7 9 Qxd5+ Ke8 10 Nc3 Nf6 11 Qg5 Be6, which is good for Black.
Of course, White may play 3 exf5, so you may want to look at lines such as:
3...e4 4 Ne5 Qg5 5 d4 Qxf5 6 Bc4 Nc6 7 g4 Qf6 8 Nf7 d5 9 Bxd5 Nxd4 or maybe
3...e4 4 Ne5 Nf6 5 Be2 d6 6 Bh5+ Ke7 7 Nf7 Qe8 as well as
3...e4 4 Nd4 Qf6
You also need to know the wild line 3 d4 fxe4 4 Nxe5 Nf6 5 Bg5 d6 6 Nc3 dxe5 7 dxe5 Qxd1+ 8 Rxd1 h6 9 Bxf6 gxf6 10 Nd5 Kd7 11 Nb6 (double check) Kc6 12 Nxa8 fxe5.
Against 3 Nc3, just play 3...fxe4 4 Nxe5 (4 Nxe4 Nf6) Qf6 5 d4 exd3.
One last line to look at is 3 d3 Nc6 4 Nc3 Nf6 5 exf5 d5 6 d4 exd4 7 Nxd4 Nxd4 8 Qxd4 Bxf5 9 Bg5 Bxc2 10 Rc1 Bg6 11 Bxf6 Qxf6 12 Qe3+ Qe7 13 Qxe7+ Kxe7.
If you play 1 e4 e5 2 Nf3 as White, you might want to read this just to make sure you take full advantage of anyone who tries 2...f5.
I recommend this book for those on both sides of this gambit.
Latvian for clubbers.......2005-01-06
The Latvian is a great opening for beginners who still need to work on their tactics. Of course, you will probably lose your first 50 games or so (even after preparation), but after that... In response to another reviewer's comments regarding this gambit versus Fritz, well of course this isn't the opening against a computer. Computers excel at wide open tactical positions. If you really want to win against Fritz, play something like the Stonewall attack or the closed Sicilian. But what do you really learn about chess playing in that style. Most games below the expert level are decided by tactics, not by shrewd positional subtleties. And, that business about it not being playable at the GM level -- just nonsense. You don't see it much OTB because it is not pragmatic from a clock management point of view. However, there are many GM correspondence games in which black does fine. For clubbers like me, this opening has three good things to recommend it: (1) how many white players are really going to know the theory on this?!; (2) most players (you know who you are) think this gambit is completely unsound and try to "prove it" with really aggressive moves that usually lead them down the road of ruin; and (3) you will learn more about tactics, defense, initiative, time, and mating nets than in just about any other gambit. I would have added the following, but the more you play the gambit in your club, the less it will be true: white players will often smugly think you have fallen for the oldest trick in the book (Qh5+ g6, Nxg6) only to be brought roughly down to Earth when you prove that it is they who have fallen into the trap. Even if you lose after that, the satisfaction of watching their smugness turn to astonishment (in your "blindness"), then slowly into uneasiness and finally (and usually rather abruptly) into desperation is well worth the lost point. Schadenfreude to be sure, but also another opportunity to exercise your creativity in searching for the best punishment for your overzealous opponent. Kosten has really done some homework for this (and the first book) and it will pay off for you (eventually anyway, just hang in there and don't worry about your rating for a few months!) even if you ultimately decide another opening is better for your heart....
Does It Really Live?.......2003-12-03
Objectively, the gambit is as unsound as it ever was. I'm convinced that, if the world's two best players, say, Kasparov and Kramnik, played a match wherein Black had to play the Latvian in every game, the only question would be whether or not White would win all the games or allow a draw here and there.
Having said that, is it fair to say that it's so bad, it's unplayable? Well, given a sufficiently weak opponent, almost anything "works." I believe the proper answer to the question of the soundness and playability of the Latvian is: it depends on who is playing. If both players are reasonably well prepared, and White is well below the Grandmaster level, Black should find that he's dug a pretty formidable hole for himself; but if White is the sort of fellow who just wants to play quietly and develop his pieces in peace, Black should be okay; in fact, it's then when he might be able to seize the initiative.
Kosten has definitely improved on his previous book on the Latvian, but unless your definition of a "live" opening is one that you can spring on your friends at the local chess club, and NOT something Kosten can use to successfully surprise players at his level, I am afraid the burden of proof is still on the author. Am I wrong? Well, try playing the Latvian against Fritz or Junior and see how long you last. Or, could you imagine what would have happened to Kasparov had he played the Latvian against Fritz in their recent match? (Fritz and Junior are extremely strong computer programs, by the way).
Risky, knife edge. But unknown........2003-09-16
I have not read this particular book; however, I do own (and do read!) its predecessor, by the same author.
In response to the previous review, I would say that, on the contrary, this defence is well worth playing. I find that the surprise value is well worth the investment: players of e4, Nf3 seldom encounter the Latvian Gambit and realise over the board that its ramifications are dangerous. It is difficult to play 'standard' developing moves against it because Black can easily gain the initiative. The sharpness has its drawbacks though: unlike other openings, the Latvian Gambit is on a knife edge and any innacuracy can be punished quite dramatically - this is true for both Black and White. This is where Black can gain an advantage against someone who is unprepared: "I know it is unsound but if White does not know how to take advantage I will come out better."
This is why I like to play it.
Take a chance! If White does not know the theory, it is certainly playable. If he does, hang on in there - its going to be a bumpy ride.

Read the review below this one.......2001-08-25
A lot of fellow americans it seems are rating other books authored by Americans on this subject higher than the two original books on this concept. If its not written expressly for the american market local consumers seem willing to ignore this and other outstanding titles. While there are books written purely for American and British Permaculturists these books are not necessarily better for people buying for that area. This book and its companion, A Designers Manual are too well written to be applied to just one region. These books are applicable to any climate or geology of any area of the planet, and that includes anywhere in the U.S. including Alaska and Hawaii. Read the reveiw below mine he explains more eloquently why this book and the more in depth version, Peramculture a Designers Manual, are perhaps the most important books you will ever read. The original and best books on Permaculture this book and, Permaculture a Designers Manual... if you are serious about helping the environment and saving money on your food bill at the same time then do yourself a favour and get one or both of these books.
Appeals to surprisingly broad spectrum!.......2000-03-05
A reviewer is well advised to be mindful of the arrogance that is intrinsic to criticizing another's work.
Intro to Permaculture is a book of breath-taking scope. I can only write with authority about those parts that apply to my middle-class, Mid-Western (US) frame-of-reference.
While reading the book, I carried it to work and to my daughter's soccer practice. I have never had so many people ask, "What's that?", pick up the book and start leafing through it. *Every* person who picked it up found some illustration that resonated with them and they started reading. I never had THAT happen before. Observation #1, World-class illustrations that are well linked to the text.
This is a good book to read with a highlighter (pen). These are just a few of the lines I highlighted:
Chapter 1:
"-harmony with nature is possible only if we abandon the idea of superiority over the natural world.
-The core of permaculture is design...To enable a design component we must put it in the right place...Each important function is supported by many elements...The key to using biological resources is management...
-the importance of diversity is not so much the number of elements in a system; rather it is the number of functional connections between these elements. It is not the number of things, but the number of ways things work....
-Edges are places of varied ecology. Productivity increases at the boundary between two ecologies because resources from both systems can be used...There is hardly a sustainable traditional human settlement that is not sited on those critical junctions of two natural economies."
Chapter 2
"All designs that involve life forms undergo a long-term process of change; even the "climax" state of a forest is an imagined concept.
-The site is full of information on every natural subject, and we must learn to read it...By observing the landscape we draw inspiration from the survival strategies followed by natural systems, and imitate them using species of more direct use to us.
-external resources are often critical..in establishing a (biological) system...It is also important to take your own resources into account...skills
-Two properties, located only a few miles apart, can vary in rainfall, wind speed, temperature, and relative humidity...This important basic step can mean the difference between living in pleasant surroundings or in miserable conditions on a property that will probably change hands every few years.
-Vegetation has a profound effect on microclimate. it is the planting and use of vegetation (forest, woodland, windbreak, shrubs, and vines) that most shapes the microclimate of the site.
-The most common errors in house siting are: Building at the top of an exposed ridge or hill...Locating a house in the bush, setting up a conflict..for light, nutrients, and space...Building..anywhere inevitable disaster threatens."
There are a total of eight chapters and five appendices. In the past, I have spent twice as much for books with half as much useful information (although never from Amazon ;-) ). I feel that I got more than my money's worth. I (Joe) take full responsibility for any creative spelling cause by my fat fingers or spurious line "breaks" caused by my word processor.
