I Have A Dream: The Story Of Martin Luther King (Scholastic Biography)

Fulfilling a teacher request.......2007-02-08

As a school librarian, I often get specific requests for books from teachers. This book was one such request. This is a Scholastic book that has been sold through Scholastic for years as a paperback, but I wanted a hard back copy of it. It's a terrific book for our 3rd graders who are studying Martin Luther King, Jr. and for Black History month in February. I was thrilled to find a hard back copy from Amazon.

A wonderful book!!.......2007-02-03

This book is written at a very readable level for third and fourth grade, easy enough for the student who struggles and interesting enough for more competent readers. I have used it in my classes for years. Students and parents have loved it.

First One.......2000-10-27

This is a Good book and I really enjoy reading it. Martin Luther King, Jr. was a hero of all time. He has save all the Black, and he gave their freedom.

This book is informative and touching for children of all ag.......1999-01-24

As a third grade teacher I use this book on a yearly basis during the month of January. Davidson does a wonderful job of allowing the children to connect to young Martin. From the early chapters she eloquently weaves Martin's words along with those of his friends and colleagues. Children are certainly saddened when Martin is eventually killed. Well worth reading!

Excellent read aloud for grade school students........1998-08-31

The Scholastic company along with Margaret Davidson has put together a very informative book for youngsters. The book doesn't delve too deeply into the social consciousness so it will keep a youngster's interest. It is an excellent book to show how, against all odds, a man no more slated for greatness than any other American, had a dream to change the way African Americans were treated. It is also an excellent book that demonstrates how conflict-resolution can be achieved through peaceful means. This book makes for a wonderful read aloud to herald in the celebration of Dr. Martin Luther King's Day.

Book Description

On August 28, 1963, the Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr., delivered his most memorable and inspiring speech to a country divided by riots over racial injustice. With the words "I have a dream," King invoked his vision of a racially harmonious America, where "little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers." This elegant gift edition of Dr. King's unforgettable speech is the perfect way to share his powerful message of hope and compassion. Featuring the complete text and a foreword by King's daughter, the Reverend Bernice A. King, I Have a Dream presents a moving portrait of a visionary at the peak of his influence.

I have a dream too.......2005-02-26

That one day 4 year olds will be able to actually read this book.
This book is not meant for kids aged 4-8. It is well beyond what they understand. Frankly , i don't even think a 4 year old can even read this. Nice pictures. But unfortunately , i don't enjoy buying a book for pictures. I can get pictures anywhere. I didn't need to purchase this book to get them. Anyway , don't buy this book unless you enjoy paying a high price for pictures. With regards to the age group. Unless you have a gifted 4 year old this book is a waste of time for him/her.

The Best Ever and After........2004-02-11

ý I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of creedý. That all men are created equalý. Most of you have probably heard of this speech from many of Martin Luther King Jr. books, and probably have heard the amazing story a million times. But hearing what his wife has to say about all of the changes and differences that he has done is like having a big serving of your favorite food. If you like poetry or bubble bursting stories youýll adore this book. She tells you a variety of things from sad, bad, and, exiting things. Also on top of all of that the pictures are wonderful and they tell a lot of what has to do with the passage. This book will lift you from your seat and youýll never know, because this book will take you away. I donýt care who you are but this book is for you so get it, its waiting!

I cry every time I read it.......2003-12-06

I used to read this to my kids when I was a children's librarian in an African-American school in Detroit, and they loved it. It has such amazing, beautiful pictures- you can't really understand their beauty until you see the book in front of you. And of course, the speech is incredibly moving. The book prints the full text of the speech, but since there isn't alot of writing on each page, and there is such beautiful artwork, even 4th graders sit in awe at what is read and shown to them.

The Dream.......2002-09-21

What better gift can a parent give a child than a vision of a free and just future. This beautiful book is the illustrated text of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr's speech given in Washington D.C. on August 28, 1963.

The text of King's inspirational speech is illustrated by 14 African American artists/illustrators. Each illustration is attractive and deftly illustrates points in Dr. King's speech. Any of the illustrations could well serve as pictures for someone's wall. Every illustration is noteworthy and inspirational. I love the cover illustration by Leo and Diane Dillon. Other illustrations that I am moved by include You Have Been the Veterans of Creative Suffering by Tom Feelings and The Table of Brotherhood by James E. Ransome.

This book would serve well for a method to introduce children to Martin Luther King. Whether as a teacher or parent you choose to read the whole text of the speech or discuss King's life and his importance in American history, may depend on the age of the child. While the recommended ages for reading are 4 to 8, a four year old may not understand the message. Certainly, this book would serve as a tool for older children or even adults to get to know King and his message.

I think that every American should read the text of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s I have a dream speech. It is as deeply meaningful and powerful today as it was in 1963. What better way to preserve the memory of Martin Luther King's speech than owning a copy of this book either for your children or yourself. This is a truly beautiful book which would be a great and lasting addition to a children's library.

A beautiful book for both children and adults.......2000-11-08

Don't be fooled by the fact that this is marketed as a children's book: "I Have a Dream" will appeal to readers of all ages. In this book the full text of Martin Luther King's famous speech is accompanied by 14 superb works, most of them in full color, by 15 different artists.

The book contains a thoughtful forward by Coretta Scott King and a brief but informative biographical supplement about Dr. King himself. A magnificent black-and-white photographic portrait of Dr. King in his oratorical mode serves as an effective complement to the rest of the book's illustrations. Also noteworthy are the final pages of the book, in which the artists briefly share their personal thoughts about Dr. King's legacy and about their contributions to the book.

The power of Dr. King's speech is greatly enhanced by the beautiful artwork of this book. The pictures encompass many different artistic styles and techniques. Each one is a masterpiece which invites the reader to return and reflect upon it.

As I noted at the start of the interview, this book should be enjoyed by both adults and children. It would make a wonderful gift for individuals interested in the civil rights movement, in African-American history, in multiculturalism and racial reconciliation, or in contemporary art. This book is a fitting tribute to one of the 20th century's most influential visionaries.

Book Description

1920s America was at peace at home and abroad but issues facing the nation were highlighted by a series of trials including baseball's Black Sox, Al Capone, John T. Scopes, Sacco and Vanzetti, Leopold and Loeb, and the court martial of Billy Mitchell. Americans will find this book on trials of the "Roaring Twenties" provocative. Great Trials begins with an extensive introduction describing "the setting" of that tumultuous decade, and follows with an in-depth examination of 10 trials, touching on nearly every facet of American life. Each case is a fascinating story, and the fierce jousts in these courtrooms impart to the reader both how different things once were, and how much the nature of argumentative individuals has remained exactly the same.

Long on the 1920s, A Little Short on the Trials.......2004-10-22

The Great Trials of the Twenties: The Watershed Decade in America's Courtrooms, by Robert Grant and Joseph Katz, guides the reader through the 1920s via such scandalous court-room trials as that of Al Capone, the Ku Klux Klan's David C. Stephenson, the Chicago "Black Sox", Loeb-Leopold, and more. The authors spent a great deal of time each chapter delving into the background information (what was going on in the country prior to the trial). They "set up" the scandal at length before the reader learns about it. I think this is beneficial if the reader is looking to understand more about the 1920s, but I think it is also a little unnecessary at times. I would like it if just as many pages covered the trials themselves, so I didn't feel like I had just "scratched the surface". Some excerpts of testimony and proceedings are included, which are effective, but I also think more are needed to help the reader grasp every angle of the scandal, the accused, the actual proceedings, etc.
What I really like about this book is how it sums up each account in the end, with either what it meant for the United States and its people in the 1920s or what happened to the defendant later on. When reading, it's obvious that Grant and Katz "know their stuff" when it comes to history. The inclusion of a section of photographs adds a great deal and makes the information hit home better when a face is put to a name. The authors highlight the ten most interesting, controversial, and exciting trials of the 1920s; not one trivial or disappointing trial was included. In covering all of these, the book runs like ten mini-stories, which, in my opinion, also keeps the interest factor up more than if the book were devoted to one single trial.
Each trial is analyzed, but the authors offer up these accounts in an objective and non-biased way. On the whole, it makes for a good read on the decade that ushered America into the modern age. The book attempts to connect the after-math and influence of the trials to America today. It does a fine job of this, and is easy to understand even if one is not a history buff. If readers are looking for a book only on trial proceedings they might be a little disappointed, but if they're looking for insight into the 1920s, The Great Trials of the Twenties: The Watershed Decade in America's Courtrooms is a nice choice.

Entertaining and illuminating.......1999-06-04

An enjoyable book, nicely illustrated, which gives concise and interesting insights into some of the topics that exercised Americans in the 1920s and early 1930s: immigration, political radicalism, prohibition, crime and delinquent social behavior, the debate between creationism and science, and so on. I would have welcomed, in one or two chapters, slightly more detail from the trials themselves, and sometimes the overall historical context is a little thinly sketched. However, this is popular history, not some bone-dry academic thesis, and it works very well at that level.

Fascinating glimpse into the legal landscape of the 1920s.......1999-03-07

This book manages to stay lively while giving both the social and historical context and details of the trials themselves. The narrative is informed but not ponderous, in fact, at times it almost conversational in tone. The trials selected encompass a broad array of issues from those times, ranging from sports scandles to organized crime to military heroes to xenophobia to science and creation. Each entry is long enough to give the reader a real good feel for the issues surrounding the case, but short enough to keep the pacing fast and enjoyable. I recommend it highly.

Book Description

A columnist for both the San Francisco Examiner and Salon, Cintra Wilson is a ruthless pop culture barometer saying what everyone thinks but no one can say about modern celebrity culture. And no one can say it quite like her. Cherished for her "laser-light prose," and for being "more fun than an electric eel in a pool filled with sycophants," Cintra gets to the heart of our humiliating fascination with celebrity and all its preposterous trappings.

In A Massive Swelling, she takes on every sacred cow imaginable, toppling icons as diverse as Barbra Streisand and the diva machine, Michael Jackson's sorry state and Bruce Willis, because he's Bruce Willis. Events like the Oscars and even athletic jamborees are part of a fame virus that infects us all. Wilson's scathing and irresistible dissection of Las Vegas as "The Death Star of Entertainment" pulses with her enlightened rejection of all things false and vain and egotistical. Written with her trademark zeal and intelligence, A Massive Swelling is the book Cintra Wilson's devoted fans have been waiting for.

The Definitive Snarky Pop-Culture Bible.......2006-08-07

If you have a love-hate relationship with our celebrity culture, this is a book you must read. Both grudgingly admiring and sharply critical, this book discusses our fascination with celebrities in an always hilarious and sometimes even enlightening way. Topics discussed include Michael Jackson, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, the allure of boybands, plastic surgery, eating disorders, drugs, Tina Turner, rock n roll, and Bruce Willis. Every chapter is funny and insightful. And come on, doesn't any book with the subtitle: "Celebrity Re-Examined as a Grotesque Crippling Disease" deserve your $10?

Highly recommended.

Spot-On Commentary on our celebrity-obsessed culture.......2005-10-11

This is a book that sorely needed to be written. It may be several years old, but it was new to me.

With a piercing wit and a sharp tongue, Cintra Wilson cuts down to size some of Hollywood's biggest celebrities. The result is both funny and sad at the same time. Funny, because it's always entertaining to see the rich and famous make fools of themselves in the pursuit of even greater fame, power and money.

And sad, because it's pathetic to see the extent to which some of these people are willing to debase themselves in order to maintain their status once they become rich and famous, especially those that have questionable talent to begin with. Even sadder is the fact that masses of people all over the world idolize them.

With their self-indulgent behavior often disguised from the public or cloaked under a veil of piousness (i.e, Ethan Hawke, Tom Hanks) Wilson reveals how some of liberal Hollywood's biggest names are about as morally bankrupt as the staunchest right-wing conservative.

What makes this book carry even more weight with me is the fact that it was written by someone who describes herself as being "about as liberal as they come". But Wilson's commentary is far and above the type of one-sided and one-dimensional whining about Hollywood and the "media elite" one gets from the likes of Rush Limbaugh, Bill Bennett, and other purveyors of right-wing bile.

[Aside: I once saw Bill Bennett walking in downtown Washington, DC; the man's belly was the size of three pregnant women combined. I mean, it was just enormous; someone needs to tell him that gluttony is no virtue (and neither is gambling, for that matter...he he :-)].

But back to my review...

In a few cases, Wilson details specific incidents of outrageous or attention-seeking behavior on the part of certain celebrities, identifying the person by name - Barbara Streisand, Keeanu Reeves, Cher, Courtney Love, Celine Dion, Michael Jackson (Dion and Jackson receive a particularly delicious skewering).

But in other instances, she refers to "a celebrity who shall remain nameless". For example, I would love to know the name of the ogre who for no reason at all drew a gun and shot someone's watch. I wondered why some of them were named while others not. (Threat of lawsuits would be my guess).

Predictably, some of the celebrities' bad behavior involves sexual improprieties. In fact, the book is filled with accounts of people who have literally prostituted themselves for fame.

My one (and very slight) criticism of "A Massive Swelling" has to do with Wilson's writing style, which can only be described as idiosyncratic. She has a tendency to write in run-on sentences, which require several re-readings to understand. However, this is a small complaint and it in no way diminishes the value--and timeliness--of this hilariously entertaining book.

Hip and hilarious prophecy.......2005-06-02

Hip and hilarious pop culture uber-critic, Cintra Wilson, traces the imagery of the last 25 years of American celebrity icons to illustrate the emotionally warping effects of the desire for fame. Wilson takes on Michael Jackson and the fading stars of the Vegas strip to show the disastrous consequences of an unbridled need for public attention and adulation. She compares the rock music of earlier generations to the fly-by-night pop stars of the last 20 years to illustrate how corporate marketing of the arts has drained them of their soul and genuine sexual potency in favor of product endorsement and marketability, however short-lived and disingenuous.

This obssession with appearances-over-content is most evident in Hollywood's current fervor for plastic surgery, now so ubiquitous it's hard to find examples of real bodies undergoing the real aging process. Naturally this affects women more than men as large-breasted supermodels are juxtaposed with petite, ever-virginal female athletic competitors and the spectre of the female form on display in beauty pageants.

However, this is not a feminist diatribe against objectification nor an intellectual's disgust with the banality of America's pop culture tastes (though Wilson is indisputably both a feminist and an intellectual). Wilson's voice serves as something of a moral prophet, condemning both the twisted values of the privileged and of their worshipful consumers. Narcissism and self-loathing (a combination Wilson epitomizes with the likes of Bruce Willis, Barbra Streisand, and Woody Allen) are the hubris of a culture in which one gets fame by being famous (i.e. marketable) rather than by having done anything noteworthy.

Wilson concludes by showing the negative influence of fame on the arts themselves. Since money now instills value and fame has become its own reason for existence, the traditional cathartic purposes of art have been lost almost completely. People seek simply to be entertained rather than to exorcise the truth of the human experience in the relative safety of artistic pursuits. The tragic result is what Wilson astutely calls an audience "now so empty and well trained and schlock-addicted that it is indeed moved by these fatty theatrical dry humps and keeps coming back".

like Tarantino swallowed the Oxford English Dictionary..........2005-04-01

this book is not without its faults. I must admit feeling like a pervert signing it out at the local library thanks to the title and cover picture. Wilson has talent--there's no debating that. At times her prose sparkles with brilliant wit and insight, the cumulative effect being a knife-job on her deserving targets. But she never digs deep enough to get really intimate, relying more on a cursory glance and quick synopsis of a plethora of topics within our diseased societal attraction to celebrity and other issues. Perhaps she knows the topic too well and the plastic world she surveys becomes a part of the style and substance of the story she describes.

The prose in spots is unbeatable but let me express one caveat: Wilson often indulges in description ad nauseam and there are enough capitalized words here to do serious damage to the trachea of a hippopotamus. Strunk and White would probably suffer immediate apoplexy upon reading three sentences. The ending goes into a self-help rant for those needing a final kick between the eyes to really get the message home. In short, 5 stars for the spots of great writing and originality; 3 stars for the bad writing (editor needed) and aftertaste.

One of the funniest, most biting books ever........2005-01-13

This is pure comedy. And pure satire. Cintra Wilson's writing is at once warm and cutting. Her plunge into celebrity culture is illuminating, disturbing and highly entertaining. This is great reading, and you'll want to return to it over and over again. Highly recommended.

Book Description

"The mission of environmentalism is to mobilize society at all levels to confront the danger and disorder into which human activity has propelled us and guide us to a safer, saner way of living on the planet.... Environmentalism has never been about catastrophe. It is about alternatives, about changing course, about transforming the future." - Philip Shabecoff, from Earth Risin.

Philip Shabecoff, America's preeminent environmental journalist, has spent more than two decades thinking and writing about the environment and related subjects, as a reporter for The New York Times, as publisher of Greenwire, and as the author of two books, including the critically acclaimed A Fierce Green Fire. In Earth Rising, he draws on that experience to offer a pointed and thought-provoking critique of the current state and future prospects of the American environmental movement.

Based on extensive interviews with a wide range of individuals both within and outside of the movement, Shabecoff elucidates the issues and problems confronting today's environmentalists and analyzes the movement's strengths and weaknesses. Viewing environmental threats as symptoms of flows in our society and its systems, he considers the urgent need for a broader, more inclusive environmentalism, and examines the role environmentalists can - and must - play in:

reforming the education system
taming the global economy and making it an instrument of human needs
working for political reform, including reducing the influence of corporate spending on the electoral process
directing the course of the scientific enterprise as well as making use of its results
helping develop a new moral center for people throughout the nation and the world

Throughout, Shabecoff emphasizes the need for national organizations to link together with grassroots groups and to become more responsive to local concerns, and argues that the environmental movement has not yet adequately prepared itself to meet current and coming challenges. He makes a compelling case that another wave of environmentalism is needed - more powerful, diverse and sophisticated, visionary and flexible. Earth Rising offers a detailed road map that can guide environmentalists toward that new and reenergized place in society.

Amazon.com

Philip Shabecoff, a science writer for The New York Times for three decades, has reported on hundreds of environmental battles and controversies, bringing them to the attention of millions of readers. But his good work and that of his fellow environmental journalists has, Shabecoff suggests, gone unheeded--not by the citizenry, who are overwhelmingly in favor of legal measures to protect the environment, but by the forces of industry, commerce, and the mainstream media, which have enormous financial stakes in preserving the status quo.

Environmental reportage, Shabecoff says, can only do so much in any event. After all, he notes, in the nearly 40 years since Rachel Carson warned in Silent Spring of the deadly effects of pesticides, "the use of synthetic substances that can sicken or kill people and wildlife has increased threefold." What is wanted, he urges in the pages of Earth Rising, is a well-coordinated "fourth wave" environmental movement that can bring aggressive political maneuvering, money, and irrefutable information to play against an array of foes. "Well-coordinated" is a key word, Shabecoff continues, for if at least 25 million Americans are involved in some way or another with environmental issues, either as grassroots activists or as dues-paying members of organizations from the Audubon Society to Earth First!, their efforts are not usually in concert, with the result that divide-and-conquer tactics on the part of, say, the logging and mining industries have often been successful.

"We yet have the capacity to forestall destruction," Shabecoff writes. But a more resourceful, more diverse, and stronger environmental movement must rise to prevent the destruction of the biosphere in this time of seemingly infinite, ever-expanding economic activity. That movement, Shabecoff continues, will need to do a better job of reaching out to labor, progressive industries, legislators, and the citizenry to forge the powerful alliances that are needed to assure clean air and water, healthy food, and other desiderata in the new century. His book offers plenty of practical advice on how such a movement can be formed, and activists and organizers will find plenty of ammunition in its well-reasoned pages. --Gregory McNamee

A depressing example of NYT journalism.......2007-09-14

Philip Shabecoff is a reporter for the New York Times. You'd like him to be a hard-hitting investigative reporter, right? Well, on the evidence of this book he is actually a collator of press releases from environmentalists. In this book, he interviews a lot of environmentalists and believes everything they say. He quotes at length from interviews that are largely fund-raising appeals, talking about how you need to help the group NOW (i.e., send money) because Corporation X is DESTROYING THE ENVIRONMENT EVEN AS WE SPEAK. Shabecoff takes all this down, uncritically, and passes it on to us.

Our hero also does not seem to think that it would be a good idea to get the other side of the story. Here's an easy example. Shabecoff's friends tell him that evil corporations are cutting down the nation's forests. This is true. He could have asked a forestry company, or the US Forest Service, for a response. They would have told him that the total acreage of US forests is increasing and has been for several decades. This is also true, though Shabecoff doesn't seem to know it. Then he could have returned to his friends and asked for their response. They could have told him that the increase in forest cover consists of tree farms, mostly softwoods on a 30- or 50-year rotation, not healthy and diverse ecosystems. This is also true. Then Shabecoff could have asked the forestry corporation for another response, and they would have told him that tree farms nonetheless serve as carbon sinks, reducing global warming, and provide some other environmental services. This too is true. Just a few phone calls, and we would have had instant complexity.

Alas, you won't find any of that complexity in this book. Think of the trees that died to print it.

A Political Compass for Environmentalists.......2000-11-13

This very perceptive book establishes Philip Shabecoff as one of the top journalists of our time. In it he tries to outline a course for the environmental movement to take in the coming decades. What makes "Earth Rising" so important is Shabecoff's understanding that modern societies like the US are faced with three enormous and intertwined problems. Besides the environmental degradation that rightly concerns environmental activists, there is the increase in both social and economic inequality, as well as the dysfunctionality of our money-dominated political system. Shabecof argues that, since none of these problems can be solved in isolation, it is essential that the environmental movement become involved in dealing with all three--by, for example, working for reform of the political process--rather than focusing solely on their own set of specific issues.

If Shabecoff had done no more than make this point, his book would merit 5 stars for the skillful way he presents his case. But there is much more food for thought in the book. For example, recognizing that scientific analyses of environmental problems are crucial to understanding and solving them, Shabecoff calls on scientists to follow the lead of those who, like Edward O. Wilson and Richard Leakey, have become strong advocates of the environment and its importance.

Anyone who is concerned about environmental issues, or who considers themself an environmentalist, would learn a great deal from reading this book.
