Everywhere we turn, nature is trying to bestow her gifts upon us whether we're ready to receive them or not.

Grandmother's Wonderful Wisdom A Journal Of Love And Good Sense
Karen Hill Manufacturer: Thomas Nelson ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover Similar Items:
Accessories: ASIN: 0849954967 |
Book Description
A grandmother is a fount of wisdom, and younger generations often miss out on this special wisdom. In this journal, Karen Hill provides an opportunity for passing that insight for living from one generation to the next by setting the stage for grandmothers to share their stories. Simple axioms for living like "If you jump on the bandwagon, make sure you know where it's headed" and a brief explanation lead the writer (the grandmother) to journal about her life experiences, to recall stories long passed. When the journal is complete, it can be a most personal gift for her grandchildren to help guide their paths. . . even when she is gone.

Home from the War: Learning From Vietnam Veterans
Robert Jay Lifton Manufacturer: Other ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items:
ASIN: 1590511689 |
Book Description
"Skillful and compassionate" (Newsweek), a groundbreaking study on the human cost of war. Nominated for the National Book Award. With a new preface from the author on the war in Iraq. In Home from the War, the award-winning author and noted psychiatrist Robert Jay Lifton offers a powerful critique of American militarism during the Vietnam War. Recognized as the ultimate text for those working with Vietnam veterans, the book's insights have had enormous influence among psychologists and psychiatrists all over the world.Lifton's new preface connects the experience of Vietnam veterans with that of veterans of the war in Iraq. Both were brought into the "atrocity producing situations" that led to My Lai and Abu Ghraib. Lifton raises the possibility that Iraq veterans could experience the kind of healing transformation that many who fought in Vietnam were able to achieve.

More Guns, Less Crime: Understanding Crime and Gun-Control Laws

Multiple regression analyses are rarely the subject of heated public debate or 225-page books for laypeople. But John R. Lott, Jr.'s study in the January 1997 Journal of Legal Studies showing that concealed-carry weapons permits reduced the crime rate set off a firestorm. The updated study, together with illustrative anecdotes and a short description of the political and academic response to the study, as well as responses to the responses, makes up Lott's informative More Guns, Less Crime.In retrospect, it perhaps should not have been surprising that increasing the number of civilians with guns would reduce crime rates. The possibility of armed victims reduces the expected benefits and increases the expected costs of criminal activity. And, at the margin at least, people respond to changes in costs, even for crime, as Nobel-Prize winning economist [TAG]Gary Becker showed long ago. Allusions to the preferences of criminals for unarmed victims have seeped into popular culture; Ringo, a British thug in Pulp Fiction, noted off-handedly why he avoided certain targets: "Bars, liquor stores, gas stations, you get your head blown off stickin' up one of them."
But Lott's actual quantification of this, in the largest and most comprehensive study of the effects of gun control to date, a study well-detailed in the book, provoked a number of attacks, ranging from the amateurish to the subtly misleading, desperate to discredit him. Lott takes the time to refute each argument; it's almost touching the way he footnotes each time he telephones an attacker who eventually hangs up on him without substantiating any of their claims.
Lott loses a little focus when he leaves his firm quantitative base; as an economist, he should know that the low number of rejected background checks under the Brady Bill doesn't demonstrate anything by itself, because some people may have been deterred from even undergoing the background check in the first place, but he attacks the bill on this ground anyway. But the conclusions that are backed by evidence--that concealed-weapons permits reduce crime, and do so at a lower cost to society than increasing the number of police or prisons--are important ones that should be considered by policymakers. --Ted Frank
