Dr. Baker's work is not merely of interest for anthropologists. He looks at the overlapping histories of "racial science" and the politics of race relations in the United States between 1896 and 1954. His narrative is impressively written and accessible to a wide readership. Please take a look at this book if you have any interest whatsoever in the current public debates over affirmative action, racial categories, or civil rights law enforcement--or if you have interest in the recent "Bell Curve"-inspired debates over supposed theories about race, class, and I.Q. Baker's From Savage to Negro provides a historical perspective on the uncanny resonance between racial politics and "racial science" in U.S. history that is desperately needed in today's public debates over the social and political meanings of "race" in contemporary American society.

This book is great! I loved the fact that the book included a map with all of the important sites on it. That made finding my way around really easy. The reviews of attractions and restaurants were also usually right on (with the exception of one late night meal at a recommended restaurant). I highly recommend this book to anyone.

This New York City compact guide belongs in any visitor's purse or pocket. The guide offers helpful websites which I accessed for information on ticket purchases and future events, as well as offering practical advice on personal safety issues. There are detailed descriptions and directions to the city's main attractions, including the subway numbers to get there. The author has shopping tips for luxury and bargain hunters alike. Note: You will probably need a more detailed guide for accomadations and dining such as the AAA New York Tourbook, to use as an adjunct.

The tips and explanations contained in Gangs, Drugs And Violence Chicago Style will save your life and that of your child,friends etc who may not be up on todays fast street life that will effect you at some time and place in the future.For to long adults have been kept out of the loop by not knowing how to communicate with the youth of today by trying to talk over, around and through them but not to them with understanding and respect which is so needed by both parties. Now with this book it is made easy to understand the baggage that we all have on our backs with such poor communication. After checking out this book things will become clear for all.

Jerry mixes comedy & common sense in this book. Most of his ideas & tonics are environmentally friendly, organic, & quickly biodegrading. He understands everymans problems w\plants & is ingenius in solving them. Please consider this book for a green solution instead of a lawn care service or something because I can guarantee this book will have an economical, easier maintenance, and more natural solution.

This book is a beautiful work of art and informative too. The photographs are lovely and the gardens chosen as material here are to-die-for. I've already used one of the projects included in the text...it was really fun...and it worked! Anyone interested in gardening (or just some wonderful photographs of some incredible places) would love this book...

Even the grandkids enjoy baking now....

The book is a finally written, well reserched study of Washington's agricultural endeavors. As a careful examiner of Washington's life, I can tell you that the Fusonies' rpovided a much needed study of an aspect of Washington's life that was important not only to himself, but to the planter society he lived in. This book's careful study of Washington provides a better synopsis of the role of agriculture in molding the Virginia society that produces many of the leaders of the Revolution than more well-known books such as, Tobacco Culture by T.H. Breen

This is a must read for anyone interested in getting prices right. The debate over prices concerns both public policy and pure economic research. The Boskin Commission claimed that the CPI overstates inflation and recommended that measures of inflation be ajdusted to correct for this. This recommendation was quickly embraced by many in the economics profession. It has also had an impact on public policy debate, particularly as regards indexation of social security. The first half of the book presents the Boskin Commission's findings verbatim, and supporters of overstatement are able to speak for themselves. The second half presents Dr. Baker's deconstruction of the Commission's findings. One part of his criticism involves the presentation of technical arguments and instances of CPI understatement. However, the most compelling part is Dr. Baker's reconstruction of recent U.S. economic history using Boskin's implied measure of prices. He shows that 50% of families were apparently living below the 1994 poverty level in 1960. This is implausible. Protagonists of the debate will no doubt continue slinging instances of over- and understatement of prices at each other. However, until supporters of CPI overstatement can explain away Dr. Baker's findings about implied poverty levels, their arguments will ring hollow.
