Book Description

Countless books have been written about parenting. Their number indicates how much parents want to learn, to grow and to succeed. Raising Peaceable Powerful Children is equally concerned with helping its readers really see, appreciate and understand children. It is supportive of parents and teachers as it suggests how to avoid conflict, tension, and unclear communication, and helps them devise their own effective techniques. It provides strategies for the myriad difficulties that overwhelm parents--particularly working and/or single parents--as they do their best to be successful, confident guardians and raisers of the next generation. The book is a concise, friendly companion to caregivers, with countless memorable examples of situations young people face. Most of the vignettes have happened in the author's life, and their dramatic impact is clear. Our work in raising peaceable, powerful adults is hard, but we can accomplish it with Barbara Hill Steinau's help. Some parents are raising such children, and they--and their children--are impressive. Imagine what strong, glad-to-be-with adults such young people will become!

4 out of 5 stars Sees children as authentic persons.......2002-05-24

--not lumps of clay to be molded by powerful and all knowing parents. Gives credence to childrens' thoughts, desires, and individuality and emphasizes treating them always with respect. A clear and well written book by a person who has experience and wisdom.
This book is on my shelf beside "Your Competent Child" by Jesper Juuls and "Everyday Blessings" by Jon & Myla Kabat Zinn. I wish there were more books like this and fewer by those who rely on force and power in their dealings with children.

This is an extraordinary true-life POW story, told by a Japanese soldier captured by American forces during World War II. Ooka's concern with his imprisonment was not fear of brutality, but with how capture would look back home in Japan. In this endearing account, he relates how his American captors treated their prisoners as human beings, confusing the prisoners who saw themselves, through their own cultural filter, as dishonored wretches who had allowed capture rather than suicide or martyrdom. Ooka writes that this cultural dissonance prevented the Japanese POWs from "accepting the Americans' warmheartedness with simple gratitude."

Book Description

"I do not know whether I dozed off or passed out, but the next thing I remember is gradually becoming aware of a blunt object striking my body over and over. Just as I realized it was a boot kicking me in the side, I felt my arm being grabbed roughly, and I returned to full consciousness.

"One GI had hold of my right arm, and another had his rifle pointed at me, nearly touching me.

"'Don't move. We're taking you prisoner,' the one with the rifle said."

On January 25, 1945, Private Ooka Shohei of the Japanese Imperial Army was captured by American forces in the Philippines. Near death from starvation and acute malaria, he was nursed back to health by his captors and shipped off to a POW camp. Taken Captive is his powerful and poignant account of life as a prisoner of war. Long regarded as a literary classic in Japan, this extraordinary memoir is appearing in English for the first time.

There are no epic battles or grand scale heroics. This is an intimate, gripping, and ultimately enlightening true story of a sophisticated, middle-aged scholar thrown into a primitive struggle for survival. It is filled with moments of sublime ordinariness—prisoners passing time by playing "20 Questions"—and heartstopping encounters—a lone soldier decides whether or not to shoot an unsuspecting enemy soldier.

The harsh conditions, the daily routines that occupy a prisoner's time, and above all, the psychological struggles and behavioral quirks of captives forced to live in close confinement are conveyed with devastating simplicity and candor. Throughout, the author constantly probes his own conscience, questioning motivations and decisions. What emerges is a multileveled portrait of an individual determined to retain his humanity in an uncivilized environment.

In Taken Captive, Ooka Shohei provides much more than an unprecedented look at the POW experience from a Japanese point of view. His stirring account offers a penetrating exploration of Japanese society, and its values, as embodied by the microcosm of his fellow POWs. Recalling his wartime experiences, Ooka Shohei has created a brilliant work of rare honesty, insight, and emotional subtlety.

5 out of 5 stars A different view of Japanese soldiers than the one you're used to.......2006-02-06

In 1944, near the end of World War II, 35-year-old, Shohei Ooka, was drafted into the Japanese Imperial Army. After suffering from malaria and starvation he attempted suicide when American troops had landed on Mindanao and the situation looked hopeless for Ooka and his (mostly dead by then) comrades. He was captured and nursed back to health by the American forces.

As he writes in ''Taken Captive,'' Japanese prisoners had to deal with their depression, and guilt at having shamed themselves by giving up when their comrades had died in battle or committed suicide. Captivity was strange to the Japanese prisoners because the Japanese military had taught them that the US military were savages and would kill them if they surrendered. Ooka wrote that they had a hard time ''accepting the Americans' warmheartedness with simple gratitude. Whereas they saw themselves as dishonorable captives, the Americans treated them as human beings, and this . . . confounded them completely.'' Over time, the prisoners became lazy and fat.

Some of the former prisoners of war, Ooka writes, ''still refer to the camp as 'paradise' and speak of the time they spent there as the best year of their lives.'' Ooka, who died in 1988, became one of the most well known post-war writers in all of Japan with this book and he takes the reader on a travel from soldier, to prisoner, to a fear of disgrace upon returning home, and back to a father and family man. An excellent book that will show that not all Japanese soldiers were war criminals and psychotics ready to die for the emperor. Ooka held Japanese soldiers who "went amok" in China in great distain.

3 out of 5 stars Taken Captive.......2001-12-01

Taken Captive a P.O.W. Story by 0oka Sh0hei, is about a Japanese man name 0oka Sh0hei who was drafted into the Japanese Imperial Army to fight the American Forces On January 25, 1945. Being captured from the Americans. This book is is an okay book. There was some action in it,wich was great. It was okay to thouse who are interested in an middle-clsss scholar who tries this to survive the life of the prison. this would be the book for you. If you are interested in action, i would not sugest this.

4 out of 5 stars This is a very good book.......1999-07-26

For eight months during 1945 I served as a Japanese interpreter (U.S. Marine Corps) at the Japanese POW Camp on Guam. I met and interviewed many Japanese prisoners during that time. This is the first account published by a former Japanese POW that I have seen since the War. American POWS have published but no Japanese for reasons made obvious by the author. I was on the outside looking in. To view prison life from the other side of the fence was most interesting, The book is superbly written. It is factual and honest.For anyone who fought the Japanese in the Pacific this book will open windows and offer to you a view that you might never have expected to look upon. T

    This text on Western Civ. has a good deal of information, but at times it is hard to follow. The author has a tendancy to go off on tangents on the stupidest facts. However, I would recommend the book as a supplement to a more reliable primary textbook.

                Book Description

                Pipits and Wagtails is the first comprehensive, one-volume guide to the twenty-six species and all subspecies that occur in the vast swath of Europe, Asia, and North America known as the Holarctic. These birds are a notoriously difficult group to differentiate, and so the authors--the world's two leading authorities in this field--have gone to exhaustive lengths to ensure that no aspect of identification has been omitted. Twenty-six full color plates and some part plates depict all the species and distinct subspecies in different plumages. To help further with identification, the book includes nearly 250 color photographs, numerous line drawings, and color distribution maps for each species.

                The detailed species accounts cover all aspects of identification: taxonomy, size and structure, plumage, geographical variation, anatomical measurements, molt and aging, sexing, voice, behavior, distribution, and habitat. They also include sonograms of the species' unique songs and calls. Great care has been taken to accurately illustrate and describe plumage differences between all valid subspecies as well as differences relating to sex and aging. Unparalleled in breadth and detail, Pipits and Wagtails is the ultimate reference guide for anyone interested in this group of birds.

                          Gale proudly presents the completely revised and updated version of the acclaimed “Grzimek's Animal Life Encyclopedia” set. Hailed by many as the best reference work on animals ever published, a legacy left to us by famed zoologist and animal lover Bernhard Grzimek, this set is renowned for its scientific reporting and coverage, and serves as a major point of reference for researchers, students, and those hoping to satisfy their curiosity about the animal kingdom. Information can be found on life cycles, predators, food systems, overall ecology and much more. Staying true to the original scientific pedigree, Gale enlisted prominent advisors and contributors from the international scientific community to incorporate recent developments in our knowledge of the animal world.
