Week 3 Week 3 Received the book and have skimmed headings and jotted down topic areas addressed to keep by my computer as I come across potential data sources. I requested the book from the main campus library using the online request form and received the book within a week of ordering it that was my first test of the interlibrary system. I am assuming we can use websites in our bibliographies. Not very impressed with Dahl s writing style.
Author appears to spend more time analyzing definitions than presenting clear ones.
I feel I am reading about Jack and Jill going up the hill with a pail of water. I pretty much skimmed this book rather than thoroughly read it because the writing style was such a turn-off. And maybe it is because I am a policy analyst, but I felt quite a bit was explained that did not need to be explained and that the author was unsuccessful in explaining shades of grey, that is, distinguishing interests from desires. I guess I would be fine with someone thinking an interest is a desire because at least they are showing some grasp of the basic concept at work. Again, a simple presentation of the social and economic and political effects of living in oppression is sufficient for the reader s understanding of the concept.
