Janja A. Lalich - Bounded Choice, True Believers a nd Charismatic Cults (2004).jpg

Heaven's Gate, a secretive group of celibate "monks" awaiting pickup by a UFO, captured intense public attention in 1997 when its members committed collective suicide. As a way of understanding such perplexing events, many have seen those who join cults as needy, lost souls, unable to think for themselves. This book, a compelling look at the cult phenomenon written for a wide audience, dispels such simple formulations by explaining how normal, intelligent people can give up years of their lives--and sometimes their very lives--to groups and beliefs that appear bizarre and irrational. Looking closely at Heaven's Gate and at the Democratic Workers Party, a radical political group of the 1970s and 1980s, Janja Lalich gives us a rare insider's look at these two cults and advances a new theoretical framework that will reshape our understanding of those who join such groups.
Lalich's fascinating discussion includes her in-depth interviews with cult devotees as well as reflections gained from her own experience as a high-ranking member of the Democratic Workers Party. Incorporating classical sociological concepts such as "charisma" and "commitment" with more recent work on the social psychology of influence and control, she develops a new approach for understanding how charismatic cult leaders are able to dominate their devotees. She shows how members are led into a state of "bounded choice," in which they make seemingly irrational decisions within a context that makes perfect sense to them and is, in fact, consistent with their highest aspirations.
In addition to illuminating the cult phenomenon in the United States and around the world, this important book also addresses our pressing need to know more about the mentality of those true believers who take extreme or violent measures in the name of a cause.

John P. Koval, Larry Bennett - The New Chicago, A Social and Cultural Analysis (2006).jpg

For generations, visitors, journalists, and social scientists alike have asserted that Chicago is the quintessentially American city. Indeed, the introduction to "The New Chicago" reminds us that 'to know America, you must know Chicago'. The authors boldly announce the demise of the city of broad shoulders and the transformation of its physical, social, cultural, and economic institutions into a new Chicago. In this wide-ranging book, twenty scholars, journalists, and activists, relying on data from the 2000 census and many years of direct experience with the city, identify five converging forces in American urbanization which are reshaping this storied metropolis. The twenty-six essays included here analyze Chicago by way of globalization and its impact on the contemporary city; economic restructuring; the evolution of machine-style politics into managerial politics; physical transformations of the central city and its suburbs; and, race relations in a multicultural era.

Karla K. Gower - Liberty and Authority in Free Exp ression Law (2002).jpg

By comparing the United States and Canada, Gower suggests that a democracy's concept of the individual, the state, and their relationship affects the tolerance granted political speech. Individuals have greater freedom to criticize the government when there is faith in the individual and fear of the state. In countries where society is emphasized and there is less distrust of the state, individuals must defer to society when their speech threatens the social order. Political thought alone is not the key to understanding freedom of expression law. Instead, broader, deeper themes running through political thought affect tolerance for political speech.

Typy Broni i Uzbrojenia 129 - Stanisław Kochański - Pistolet maszynowy Thompson (1989).jpg

Pistolet maszynowy Thompson, znany także jako Tommy gun – amerykański pistolet maszynowy produkowany przez firmę Auto-Ordnance, rozsławiony w czasach prohibicji w Stanach Zjednoczonych, kiedy bardzo często „występował” w filmach jako broń zarówno gangsterów, jak i policji. Szczególnie popularny wśród żołnierzy amerykańskich podczas II wojny światowej.

Służba

W Stanach Zjednoczonych Thompson był początkowo używany przez siły porządkowe, przede wszystkim przez FBI aż do 1976, kiedy został wycofany ze służby. Wszystkie Thompsony będące własnością rządu amerykańskiego zostały zniszczone z wyjątkiem kilku egzemplarzy muzealnych.

Obecnie oryginalny i sprawny model z 1928 kosztuje około 15 000 $. Łącznie wyprodukowano około 1,7 mln sztuk tej broni, z czego 1 387 134 egzemplarzy uproszczonego modelu M1 używanego w czasie II wojny światowej.

John Feinstein - The Rivalry, Mystery at the Army- Navy Game (2010).jpg

Gr 6-9–Intrepid teen reporters Stevie Thomas and Susan Carol Anderson are once again granted extraordinary access to the behind-the-scenes action at a major sports event. In the course of pursuing their journalistic duties, they meet a number of real-life celebrities including journalist Bob Woodward, legendary basketball coaches Mike Krzyzewski and Bobby Knight, politico Ed Rendell, golfer Phil Mickelson, and sports commentator Tony Kornheiser. Even Barack Obama works the kids into his schedule. Since the “mystery” (involving corrupt officials at the Army/Navy game) is not introduced until page 225, there is plenty of room for background on the service academies' rivalry, as well as other seemingly random topics (a story line on Susan Carol's participation in a swim meet, for instance, is dropped into the middle of the narrative, and abruptly abandoned). Even aspiring sports journalists will find it difficult to stick with this meandering effort.

Anthony J. Tambini - Wiring Vietnam, The Electroni c Wall (2007).jpg

For years, the popular press and military pundits have misunderstood and ridiculed the electronic wall. Neither its sophistication nor the number of allied and civilian lives it saved during the Vietnam War are well known. The story can now be told of how military and civilian technicians, sitting in darkened rooms in a faraway country, monitored one of the most sophisticated electronic sensing systems invented. Working with electronic signals generated hundreds of miles from their computer screens, these technicians tracked the progress of enemy vehicle and troop movements flowing from North Vietnam, through Laos and Cambodia, and to destinations as distant as southern South Vietnam.

James D. Johnson - Combat Chaplain, A 30-Year Viet nam Battle (2001).jpg

Johnson's gritty memoir chronicles the eight and a half months he spent in the Mekong Delta serving 350 men of the 9th Infantry Division during the war's heaviest fighting. Chaplain Johnson's personal odyssey begins with his ministering in the field and ends with a return to Vietnam almost 30 years later. As in Tobias Wolff's In Pharaoh's Army (LJ 10/15/94), the enemy is not only the elusive Vietcong but also the awful snake-and-mosquito-ridden estuaries of the Mekong Delta. Johnson, who even performed a few baptisms in the Mekong, praises those 19-year-old heroes he knew, whose lives were so quickly lost in a conflict that consequently everybody wished to forget. His own courage in ministering under deplorable conditions and heavy fire where a dry bed, hot food, no snipers, and no incoming were a blessing was recognized with several Bronze Stars for valor, among other awards.

Kyle Longley - Grunts, The American Combat Solider in Vietnam (2008).jpg

This book provides a fresh approach to understanding the American combat soldier's experience in Vietnam. It integrates such topics as the political culture, the experiences of training, the actual Vietnam experience, and the 'homecoming', and offers a remarkable overview of the 870,000 'grunts' who bore the brunt of the fighting in the jungles and highlands of South Vietnam, and eventually Cambodia and Laos.The book addresses many of the stereotypes of the Vietnam combat veteran that have been perpertrated in popular culture, and also considers how Vietnam veterans have been commemorated through memorials and other means, and how the veterans remember each other. The coverage also includes women who served in or near the front lines as well as on the home front. The author draws on memoirs and oral histories including his personal interviews with veterans, but the book conveys a picture of the Vietnam combat soldier's experience far more powerful than what individual memoirs can provide.

Neil Postman - The End of Education, Redefining th e Value of School (1996).jpg

After 20 books (e.g., Technopoly, LJ 1/92), Postman, social critic par excellence, has returned to his original turf: education. Sharp, witty, and frequently quotable, he demolishes many leading popular themes as lacking in meaning. Education without spiritual content or, as he puts it, without a myth or narrative to sustain and motivate, is education without a purpose. That purpose used to be democracy and could still be, if only we were willing to look for the elements that unite rather than separate. Postman considers multiculturalism a separatist movement that destroys American unity. Diversity, however, is one of the themes he would employ in teaching language, history, and culture. Postman offers a number of positive and uplifting themes around which a new education philosophy could be formulated, some of which are far-fetched or extreme but nonetheless interesting. A most welcome addition to the education debate; highly recommended for all libraries.

Michael Gross - Rogues' Gallery, The Secret Story of the Lust, Lies, Greed, and Betrayals That Made the Metropolitan Museum (2009).jpg

01 - USA1 - Michael Gross - Rogues Gallery, The Secret Story of th..., and Betrayals That Made the Metropolitan Museum 2009.jpg

For more than a century, the coupling of art with commerce has made New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art the world's most glamorous whore, according to this sprawling history. Gross, a veteran chronicler of the rich and beautiful (Model: The Ugly Business of Beautiful Women), highlights the relationship between the directors and curators who amassed the Met's collection—fakes and questionably acquired antiquities included, he notes—and its patrons. In his telling, the exchange of money for prestige (contributor John D. Rockefeller wanted good publicity after striking workers were massacred at the family's Ludlow mine) is a tawdry business, with the museum's high-toned seduction of well-heeled egotists, who in turn felt betrayed when newer collections impinged on their own galleries. Not the best-curated of exhibitions, Gross's thematically unfocused chronicle is overstuffed with the details of fund drives, building plans and bequests; some figures feel like they were profiled mainly because there were juicy anecdotes about them—a rarity in tight-lipped Met circles—not because their doings are especially illuminating. Still, browse long enough and you'll find behind-the-scenes dirt and an intriguing look at the symbiosis of culture and cash.

Frederick Nolan - Lorenz Hart, A Poet on Broadway (1995).jpg

Lorenz Hart singlehandedly changed the craft of lyric writing, transforming the commerical song lyric from one of tired cliches and cloying sentimentality to one with unexpected phrases that would twang the nerves or touch the heart. Endowed with both a buoyant wit and a tender sincerity, Hart brought a poetic complexity to his art penning such memorable hits as My Funny Valentine, Isn't It Romantic?, The Lady is a Tramp, and Blue Moon.

Lorenz Hart: A Poet on Broadway presents the public triumphs of a true genius of the American musical theatre, and the personal tragedies of a man his friend Mabel Mercer described as "the saddest man I ever knew." A veritable who's who of Broadway's golden age, including Joshua Logan, Gene Kelly, George Abbott, and many more, recall their uncensored, often hilarious, sometimes poignant memories of the cigar-chomping wordsmith who composed some of the best lyrics ever concocted for the Broadway stage, but who remained forever lost and lonely in the crowds of hangers-on he attracted.

Skillfully pulling together the chaotic details of Hart's remarkable life, beginning with his bohemian upbringing in turn-of-the-century Harlem, through his early success with Richard Rodgers, and life in Hollywood in the Thirties. He goes on to look at Hart's final decade as one of the undisputed kings of Broadway while simultaneously his personal life disintegrated into a madness of alcohol and self-loathing. This rich work captures the excitement, the achievement, the dizzying heights, and the crushing lows of and American original.
