question:
A must-read. Period. . I recently read Berlinski's book as well as Bawer's "While Europe Slept"  and "Anti-Americanism" by Jean Francois Revel. These are very important books in that they shed light on the mythology of the American Left, according to which Europe (Western Europe, that is) is the Promised Land. Since they detest America, they need to find some model to emulate. Well, on closer inspection Europe is not it. Today's Europe had been left hopelessly behind. It lives off the corpses of the past, and having been given a sense of security (by the American foreign policy and its military might) and illusion of prosperity (originally spawned by US economic aid and today dependent on US spending power!), they feel superior to the US. Anyone who ever debated angry Europeans will quickly discover that the superiority is really a reaction to their profound inferiority complexes.    Disregard the one-star reviews. An M. McDonald below claims that the book is "short on facts"... This from a guy who claims that Germany is the world's largest exporter... Forgot to mention though that it's the larger exporter of MERCHANDISE. If you add services, the US exports are at $1.15 trillion vs. Germany's $893B. And, thanks to diversification, the US is less vulnerable to global economic slowdowns. McDonald's is wrong. He's wrong about public education too: Europe's schools are "vastly superior"?...Does he have any idea what goes on in the schools of Paris, London and Rome?? he says China not seen as a threat to EU? Anyone who's been to Italy recently, with interests going deeper than gelato, surely must have seen numerous campaigns against Chinese textile imports. My bet? In 5-6 yrs we will be buying superior quality suits made in China for $500 vs. Zegna's $1800 outfits. Indeed, nothing to worry about. Etecetera, etcetera.    Read this and the other books I mentioned so you can be immune to and be able to eloquently respond to this type of leftist pap

question:
codes nothing but a fluke! . just finished reading this book.  what can i say?  this book seems to finally put the controversy to rest. PHEW! what a relief,i thought i may  actually have to start believing in god or something.    this book is full  of data and statistical analyses. it isn`t much like all the other bible  code books out there, and i`ve read most of them.  my favorite is cracking  the bible code by j. satinover.    this book(dr. ingermanson) is more  scientific and gets down to the dirty work of disproving the codes  scientifically.  he calls himself a computer geek in his bio. and after  reading his book i`d have to agree with him.  he has a strange sense of  humour as well, almost appeasing.     great book and puts the debate to  rest once and for all

question:
strong family drama . In England though she recently broke up with her boyfriend, seventeen-year-old Charlotte feels good about herself and her future as she is doing well in school, lives in a relatively happy all female home, and seems adjusted.  That is until she learns she is pregnant.    Her mom Karen is a teacher's aide struggling with her mother Nan's mind slowly slipping away with the demands from that side already overwhelming. Her patience is over the edge when Charlotte informs her she is pregnant.  Upset and unable to contain her anger, Karen cannot believe that history has repeated itself because when she was sixteen she gave birth to Karen.  Though she loves her daughter all her dreams died with her birth.  She did marry the father but thankfully divorced that loser soon afterward.  As Nan drifts deeper into the past including insisting that she adopted Karen, the mentally exhausted sandwich generation is not sure what to do as Charlotte decides to give birth except to flee in search of her biological mother dreaming of a loving comforting welcome.    This fascinating character study is at its best when the audience sees deep inside the three generations with deep understanding of being an unwed mother, a child having a child, the sandwich generation, and the creeping of dementia (as well as a late stroke).  When the tale spins off into the biological mother twist it loses some of its depth until Karen returns to her "real" family.  Somewhat a soap opera, THE BAD MOTHER'S HANDBOOK is a strong family drama that focuses on the demands and responsibilities on women without men.    Harriet Klausner
