Book Description
Tracy Kidder is a winner of the Pulitzer Prize and the author of the bestsellers
The Soul of a New Machine,
House,
Among
Schoolchildren, and
Home
Town. He has been described by the Baltimore Sun as the “master of the non-fiction narrative.” This powerful and inspiring new book shows how one person can make a difference, as Kidder tells the true story of a gifted man who is in love with the world and has set out to do all he can to cure it.
At the center of
Mountains Beyond Mountains stands Paul Farmer. Doctor, Harvard professor, renowned infectious-disease specialist, anthropologist, the recipient of a MacArthur “genius” grant, world-class Robin Hood, Farmer was brought up in a bus and on a boat, and in medical school found his life’s calling: to diagnose and cure infectious diseases and to bring the lifesaving tools of modern medicine to those who need them most. This magnificent book shows how radical change can be fostered in situations that seem insurmountable, and it also shows how a meaningful life can be created, as Farmer—brilliant, charismatic, charming, both a leader in international health and a doctor who finds time to make house calls in Boston and the mountains of Haiti—blasts through convention to get results.
Mountains Beyond Mountains takes us from Harvard to Haiti, Peru, Cuba, and Russia as Farmer changes minds and practices through his dedication to the philosophy that "the only real nation is humanity" - a philosophy that is embodied in the small public charity he founded, Partners In Health. He enlists the help of the Gates Foundation, George Soros, the U.N.’s World Health Organization, and others in his quest to cure the world. At the heart of this book is the example of a life based on hope, and on an understanding of the truth of the Haitian proverb “Beyond mountains there are mountains”: as you solve one problem, another problem presents itself, and so you go on and try to solve that one too.
“
Mountains Beyond Mountains unfolds with the force of a gathering revelation,” says Annie Dillard, and Jonathan Harr says, “[Farmer] wants to change the world. Certainly this luminous and powerful book will change the way you see it.”

This is one amazing guy.......2007-10-09
I actually listened to this as a book on tape, but bought the book version as a present. In fact, it was recommended to me by another friend. I found it well written and the subject very interesting.
An Amazing Man.......2007-10-04
This book is inspiring but troubling as well. I am a nurse and find his ideas of medicine/poverty to be right on target. Fighting the system is what is hard, he manages to do so at least in his areas of clinical work. His take on poverty and the world economic systems while not new, is seen through the eyes of a scientist and an anthropoligist which gives it a slightly new twist. For anyone interested in a larger world view I would recommend this book. Dr. Farmer is a unique man and his efforts, where ever he is, to change the world's systems is a challenge to us all.
Very Good.......2007-09-25
Although I had to read this book for a mandatory assignment, it was not a labored read. The author writes in a way that allows the reader to continue reading easily and endlessly until the book is finished, or stop whenever the reader needs a break. The story is eye-opening and enlightening while arousing feelings of anger towards the governments overseas conduct with "democracy" and aiding big business. The tale is capturing and the read is light. The only reason it wasn't a five star is because I wasn't very fond of the assignment.
Awesome.......2007-09-15
Kidder's biographical account of the life and work of Dr. Paul Farmer is moving and munumental and reads like a novel---a compliment from me. The determination of one man supported by competent and trusted colleagues is an awesome monument to the power of the human spirit. Also opens American minds and hearts to the povery lying just off our borders in Haiti. Kidder's narrative is superbly told and presented most effectively with a plot line that moves in and out between past and present. Compact, concise and compelling.
Inspirational.......2007-09-05
It's wonderful that one man can turn his passion into something that benefits so many!

Book Description
The author, an editor of Campaigns Magazine for ten years, has written a groundbreaking new study of Napoleon's disasterous Russian campaign of 1812. In doing this, he has employed primary sources never before translated from the German and Russian. He points out the real reasons for Napoleon's defeat which had nothing to do with cold weather but rather were a complex combination of faulty logistics, bureaucratic mismanagement and Napoleon's own but uncharacteristic indecision and bad choices.

Super chronicle of a super debacle.......2002-07-19
Invading Russia doesn't seem to be a good idea. I know of three major campaigns, all ending in disaster: Charles XII of Sweden (against Peter the Great), Napoleon, and Hitler. Charles XII and Hitler were mediocre generals at best, but Napoleon--how could he blunder so grotesquely in strategy and tactics? Riehn's book does an excellent job of explaining it. The lack of maps, as the other reviewer noted, is definitely a problem in following the details of logistics and battles. My paperback edition has one map, but it's lousy. However, Riehn makes up for this with a strong narrative that makes the whole campaign come alive.
My father found a great book years ago--"Retreat from Moscow", by Bourgogne (?) long out of print. It's the memoirs of a French officer who miraculously survived the retreat. If you can find it, read it!
Where are the maps?.......2001-02-12
Richard Riehn has written a great book that is rendered almost unreadable by the complete lack of maps. His book features very detailed descriptions of troop movements and I was unable to fully appreciate and follow his obviously well researched book. It will always continue to amaze me why many authors fail to put maps in their books to allow the reader to follow the troop movements. I don't think I should have to have my world atlas on my lap while I read a book. Maybe future editions will add maps?
Book Description
Sergeant Bourgogne - with Napoleon's Imperial Guard in the Russian campaign and on the retreat from Moscow - 1812-13 Adrien Bourgogne was a seasoned veteran before the campaign of 1812, but nothing in his experience prepared him for the horrors of the infamous retreat from Moscow. Believing he was settling into comfortable winter quarters, Bourgogne found himself together with his comrades of the Vélite Fusilier - Grenadiers of the Imperial Guard - on the road to the west. Bourgogne's account of the agonies of the Russian Winter exacerbated by hunger, brigands and the Russian enemy is graphic and without parallel. This is a story far beyond the common military memoir. It is almost surreal in its portrayal of the nightmarish scenes of the straggling column and the hellish infernos of burning towns. A memoir of war in the raw and an utterly unforgettable classic Napoleonic experience of conflict.

The Long Roll.......2007-08-11
When I first read Swords Around A Throne in 1988 when it was first published, I noticed the string of French memoirs that were used by Col Elting in writing that excellent history of the Grande Armee. I then proceded to find and purchase the memoirs listed and one of those was this excellent volume. It is one of the necessary books needed, in my opinion, to understand the period and the men who made up the Grande Armee.
Sgt Bougogne was one of Napoleon's 'men of bronze.' Those were the men who were tough enough to get out of Russian, fighting off the Russians on the way out and that executed an assault river crossing of the Berezina River when it seemed they were hopelessly trapped by two Russian armies with a third one listlessly approaching. The outnumbered, frozen men of the Grande Armee crossed the river over two hastily constructed trestle bridges and whipped the Russians into the ground.
Sgt Bourgogne was one of those that contributed to this amazing victory set amidst disaster and his story is simply told with verve, wit, and a definite 'you are there' feeling. This volume belongs on the shelf of anyone and everyone who is a student of the Napoleonic period and/or anyone who enjoys tales of disaster and heroism set amongst incredible hardship.
Such suffering from doing their duty.......2007-08-05
I felt like I was right next to the sergeant in this madness. He wrote so well that he made one feal the cold, the hunger, the fear, the loss. In this book one learns alot about indurance and strength and will to live.

Although the George W. Bush administration is famous for being "on message," delivering a consistent and polished political perspective no matter what, such consistency apparently does not extend to every member of the conservative universe. In Where the Right Went Wrong, veteran pundit and occasional presidential candidate Patrick Buchanan offers up scathing criticisms of Bush's policies, the arrogance and boorishness of which, he warns, could ultimately dramatically destabilize the United States' superpower status. The problem, in Buchanan's eyes, is the rejection of traditional Reagan-era conservatism by an administration under the sway of the so-called "neoconservatives," who favor a pre-emptive military strategy and big government and don't mind running up dangerously huge budget deficits to support it. The war in Iraq, fought without direct demonstrable threat, alienates America in the eyes of the rest of the world, says Buchanan, squandering the global goodwill earned after the 9/11 attacks and creating exponentially larger numbers of terrorists who will threaten the U.S. for generations to come. The zeal over free trade among elected officials, a feeling notably not shared by Buchanan, Ross Perot, and Ralph Nader, is costing America jobs, Buchanan theorizes, and leading to a de-industrialized service-sector-only economy, an end to American self-sufficiency in favor of a reliance on global corporations, and a looming economic crisis. Refreshingly, and unlike pundits of his day, Buchanan crafts his arguments by examining world history, offering detailed analogies to the Roman Empire, the Civil War, and pre-Soviet Russia among others. Conservatives alienated by the Bush administration will find an eloquent champion in Buchanan and even liberals, who may not have known there was a conservative argument against war in Iraq, stand to learn something from a right side of the aisle perspective so different from that found in the Bush White House. --John Moe
Book Description
Revised and expanded to account for the 2004 election-a searing indictment of the G.O.P. by three-time presidential candidate and bestselling author, Pat Buchanan The New York Times bestseller Where the Right Went Wrong chronicles how Beltway conservatives have abandoned their principles, and how a handful of insiders have hijacked U.S. foreign policy, and ignited a 'war of civilizations' with the Islamic world that will leave us mired down in Middle East wars for years to come. Where the Right Went Wrong calls to task the Bush administration for its abandonment of conservatism including: -The neo-conservative cabal-liberal wolves in conserva-tive suits -Why the Iraq War has widened and imperiled the War on Terror -How current trade policy outsources our sovereignty and industrial strength. A controversial clarion call, Where the Right Went Wrong defines the battle for the heart of the G.O.P.

An interesting critique of Iraq, but otherwise it's deceptively just a critique of liberals.......2007-10-15
I enjoyed listening to this book as a liberal, and as it seems other liberals have, partly because it's gratifying in some way to hear someone normally opposed to your point of view to criticize his own "side" for ineptitude. Buchanan lays out why we should have never gone to Iraq and how it is becoming (already in 2004) an imbroglio.
But now that I've had more time to think about the book, I've come to the conclusion that it's mainly a very typical condemnation of liberalism. Buchanan is mainly talking to fellow conservatives about conservative ideals, and that's fine. As a liberal, there are certainly some issues that I agree with conservatives on. I thought this was a kind of book where Buchanan would find common ground with his usual liberal foes and we could come together to try to figure some things out and solve some issues rather than participating in the same cliche arguments.
But other than saying basically the same thing many liberal critics of the war have been saying all along, Buchanan never suggests reaching out to those normally on the other side of the ideological line. Almost the opposite. The book, while condemning Iraq and the neoconservatives who started it, is a lot about how the neoconservatives are not conservatives at all. While I would agree with that assessment, Buchanan suggests they were simply liberals who decided to pretend to be conservatives when republicans started winning. So basically, while liberals have been the main critics of the ware since before day one, those responsible for getting us into the war were also liberal and this then cancels out any good the liberals have done to criticize our involvement. Buchanan never gives credit to the liberals who have been criticizing the war all along, even while making many of the same arguments they have been making!
While most of this book is about Iraq, Buchanan does talk about some issues closer to home - social conservative issues like abortion, the Supreme court, trade with China, and immigration. While these are important subjects on their own, I don't see how they relate to Iraq or neoconservatives. Either neoconservatives don't really concern themselves with social issues, or they go along with the social conservatives. True, Bush is more liberal on immagration, but I don't think that has anything to do with somehow being manipulated by neocons as it's been argued is the case with Iraq. So is all of this here just to make it more clear to his fellow conservatives that Buchanan is just as anti-liberal has he's ever been and just because he happens to hold a similar position as them on Iraq, that this should in no way be taken that he wants to have anything to do with them?
While many liberals will see this book as vindication and even a fig leaf of sorts, I just don't see it as anything but a the same old rhetoric about how horrible liberals are. Perhaps conservatives need some reminder in this sense ans Buchanan seems to be showing that there's been a great deal of confusion as to what conservatives really stand for, at least in terms of foreign policy. Maybe his thought that reminding them who their real foe is (liberals) is the sure fire way of reuniting them into a cohesive group again?
Pat Buchanan is an honest, smrt guy.......2007-09-26
Pat Buchanan knows what he's talking about -- having been involved in Republican politics going back to Barry Goldwater, this book provides Mr. Buchanan an opportunity to discuss what is wrong with the current Republican Party, and clearly illustrates how and why the current Republican Party is a liberal, big government, imperialist party which holds no similarities with the traditional Republican Party.
If you once supported the Republicans and have come to oppose their big government spending, or are a current Ron Paul supporter, this book is right up your alley.
Every American should read this book to see exactly what needs to be done to stop the current undemocratic and elitist two party system in this country, and how we can take our Republic back.
Interesting read from a true conservative.......2007-06-12
Pat Buchanan is well-known as a speechwriter and political analyst. He's also run for President and written a host of good books about conservatism in America. In this book, Buchanan's thesis is that the conservative Republican party has been hijacked by neo-cons, most of whom defected from the Democratic party. These neo-cons have hijacked the party of Ronald Reagan and even, according to Buchanan, our current President's brain. While this might be overstated, his bottom line is well-argued. Buchanan attacks the neo-cons on immigration, free trade, and our new role as world policeman. He pulls no punches.
What I so like and admire about Pat Buchanan is that he cuts through the political baloney and tells it like he sees it. The chips fall where they may. He's not a goose-stepping ideologue of either party. And unlike many windbag political commentators, this guy really believes what he's saying and doesn't just spout off to grab attention and make money. I don't agree with him on everything, but I always respect his opinion and the way he argues it.
Warning--Not recommended for people who do not like their preconceptions challenged. If you do, you should stick to Ann Coulter and Michael Moore.
An Unsettling Book for Those Who Need to be Unsettled.......2007-06-06
Great powers remain great only for as long as they can resist getting involved in the sticky political, military, and economic affairs of other nations. This philosophy is called isolationism although in WHERE THE RIGHT WENT WRONG, Patrick Buchanan prefers to call it protectionism. Buchanan notes that throughout most of America's history, we were strict isolationists who involved ourselves in overseas matters only when American interests were clearly at stake. Beginning with the Second World War, the United States has deliberately chosen to abandon those principles of the Founding Fathers that permitted them to avoid the collapse of one European regime after another. Buchanan now sees the United States at the tipping point where in its quest for American Empire is sure to travel the same path that other former empires proudly began but badly finished.
Buchanan notes that the United States is probably the strongest power that ever was, yet despite that its power is not unlimited. As long as America retained its industrial base, avoided treaties with foreign powers that could drag us into ill-advised wars, ran budget surpluses, and understood that our republic was ours only for as long as we could keep it, then the United States could remain First among Equals. Buchanan maintains a near sorrowful edge in his voice as he notes that the neocons have changed all that. He calls them ex-Trotskyites, ex-liberals, ex-Reds, and pretty much ex-students of history. He accuses them of misleading President George Bush on a wide spectrum of issues that range from the War on Terror, open borders immigration folly, budget overruns, and globalism. He examines each of these with a dispassionate eye, always pointing out that these arenas of political life are deteriorating yearly. Essentially, the link connecting each of them is the neocons' blind faith in American power to establish a Pax-American hegemony worldwide. Since the general thrust of his analysis is an admitted conservatism, left-wingers who believe in Big Government, socialism, and secular progressivism will surely object. I had a problem with what I saw as no small anti-Israel bias when he suggests that we ought to abandon Israel on the grounds that its existence is not crucial to ours. However, most of his analyses hold sufficient water for me to agree that if the United States does not reclaim its historical roots of America first, last, and always, then the sun that set on the British Empire must surely set on us too.

· Inactivated and Live Intranasal Influenza Vaccines An influenza pandemic is a global outbreak of disease that occurs when a new influenza A virus appears or “emerges” in the human population, causes serious illness, and then spreads easily from person to person worldwide. Pandemics are different from seasonal outbreaks or “epidemics” of influenza. Seasonal outbreaks are caused by subtypes of influenza viruses that are already in existence among people, whereas pandemic outbreaks are caused by new subtypes or by subtypes that have never circulated among people or that have not circulated among people for a long time. Past influenza pandemics have led to high levels of illness, death, social disruption, and economic loss. There are many different subtypes of Influenza or “flu” viruses. The subtypes differ based upon certain proteins on the surface of the virus (the hemagglutinin or “HA” protein and the neuraminidase or the “NA” protein). Pandemic viruses appear (or “emerge”) as a result of a process called "antigenic shift,” which causes an abrupt or sudden, major change in influenza A viruses. These changes are caused by new combinations of the HA and/or NA proteins on the surface of the virus. This change results in a new influenza A virus subtype. The appearance of a new influenza A virus subtype is the first step toward a pandemic, but the new virus subtype also must spread easily from person to person to cause a pandemic. Once a new pandemic influenza virus emerges and spreads, it normally becomes established among people and moves around or “circulates” for many years as seasonal epidemics of influenza.
