This is THE BOOK for anyone -not exclusively urban planners- who wants to understand not only the physical form of the city, but how its citizens interact with the urban landscape. Through his experience and observation, Lynch reminds us that the most important component of a city -the reason why they are built- are its inhabitants.

Michael Southworth and Tridib Banerjee, former students of Kevin Lynch at MIT's School of Urban Studies and Planning, have organized a brilliant collection of most of Lynch's works. Here we can find his seminal ideas pointed out trough his researches in the field of environmental perception, as well as his urban design projects. The book still presents a good biography of Lynch and serves as a very interesting complement to the books that this fundamental author wrote. It is an extremely important work both to architectural and urban design students as well as to professionals and researches.

This is a collection of about 20 or so essay-format descriptions by different authors of great raids, including Drake's Cadiz expedition, John Paul Jones' hijinks off the British coast, the U-Boat raid into Scapa Flow, the botched invasions of Dieppe (1942) and Tehran (1980) and Israeli commando attacks on Egypt in the early 1970s. Inevitably, different authors, while adding immense color and depth to the stories, do tend to break the continuity, so this is a book best read in 30 page slabs. The descriptions of Wingate's first Chindit raid in Burma and Stephen Tanner's revealing account of the German commando raids and other intrigues which kept Hungary in the Axis camp are the standouts. Overall, an excellent compilation of military history and an excellent piece of collective writing.

Daring actions by small units have always excited the imagination, not least because they affirm that individual initiative and courage count for something in the impersonal forces of war.

Here is a fine collection of accounts of some of those raids, from Elizabethan times to the present, beautifully written and (generally) well researched. Stephen Tanner's essays on Custer and Skorzeny particularly stand out as lively, reliable history writing. Less praiseworthy are the efforts of the conspiracy theorist who always seems to find American perfidy in every Allied reverse. With photos, bibliography, and an excellent index.

As the chair of our county Democratic Committee, my worst fear was chairing meetings that were either as boring, or, on the otherhand, as argumentative, as those under the previous chair. I had looked for references, but found them dry and lifeless. After reading this book, I realized several things that I was doing wrong, or could improve on. The commentary is informative, sometimes light and humorous, but always seems to get to the heart of the matter in an effective straightforward manner, unravelling the problems and providing direction that doesn't put me to sleep. Now my meetings run smoother, decisions are swift and sure, without excess debate and I have more people attending that we have had in years. Wish I could spend a weekend with W. Southworth - I might even ask for an autograph! Whether your meetings are avocational or professional, you owe it to your membership to read this book. They will all thank you for it! My members did!

Henry Nelson Wieman is not everyone's cup of tea. As Creighton Peden said in his introduction to SCIENCE SERVING FAITH -- a collection of Wieman's essays, "The experience of God is not knowledge of God, and knowledge of God is what Wieman initially is seeking." Wieman is rational and empirical through and through and people seeking for a more moist approach to spirituality will find Wieman dry as toast. Yet, and this is a big yet, this dryness has the crystalline quality of a cloudless sky and the austere elegance of a single-malt Scotch. Wieman is not bloodless, rather relentlessly singleminded in his pursuit of conceptual clarity when it comes to what he calls The Source of Human Good.

Wieman's God is transpersonal but not supernatural, a process within the universe rather than the universal creator. God, for Wieman, is the character of the universe -- a creative, integrating, pushing and pulling into greater wholes of greater value. Not terribly touchy-feely, granted, but for those of us whose faith must be solidly grounded in intellectual clarity and credibility, Wieman is a faithful guide and a constant inspiration.

AT HOME IN CREATIVITY succeeds in presenting Wieman's thought in a concise and eminently readable form at the same time as it holds it up against such contemporary trends as theologies of liberation and creation spirituality. And while Wieman did not participate in these trends -- his writing spans the middle fifty years of the 20th century -- and he could legitimately be considered naive when it comes to his optimism about societal reform, Wieman still holds his own as a partner in today's religious dialogue.

Bruce Southworth was my pastor at the Community Church of New York (Unitarian-Universalist) for the year or so I was a member before moving to Kentucky. At the time my interest in Wieman was not as acute as today. Even so I recall Rev. Southworth's sermons, personal style, and integrity as every bit as committed to the value of human creative interaction as Wieman would have wanted to see in a religious leader of the newer generation.

Herbert Southworth (1908-1999) was an outstanding historian of the Spanish Civil War. His many superb books include Le mythe de la croisade de Franco (1964), and Guernica! Guernica! A Study of Journalism, Diplomacy, Propaganda and History (1977). This new book is a triumphant affirmation of his career as a historian and opponent of fascism. Based on years of careful research, and written with lucidity, wit and humour, this book is both an excellent introduction to the vast literature on the war, and a significant contribution to that literature.

Southworth tells us exactly how Spanish fascists concocted the story of a 'communist plot' to try to justify their July 1936 military uprising against the democratically elected government. He shows how Spain's fascists accused their enemies of the anti-democratic conspiracy that they were brewing themselves - a technique that fascists have used from Berlin in 1933 to Indonesia in 1965. Fascist propagandists throughout Europe, particularly in Britain, publicised the story of the 'plot'. Too many subsequent historians have followed these propagandists and repeated their fascist fabrications. Southworth refutes in detail both the crude, open pro-Franco propagandists like Brian Crozier and the more sly anti-working class biases of Hugh Thomas.

The second part of the book deals with the writings that most influenced General Franco himself. It tells the story of Franco's associations with the Entente Internationale contre la Troisieme International, which consisted of a White Russian and a Swiss lawyer. This anti-democratic, anti-communist propaganda unit purveyed the usual dreary litany of diatribes against Jews and Freemasons; it naturally backed Hitler, Mussolini and Franco from first to last, and it passed on and embellished every lie and slander about trade unions, the labour movement, socialists and communists. Southworth proves that this tenth-rate dishonest tripe had a profound influence on General Franco.

If you are interested in the effects of climate change, and can afford the not insignificant entry cost, you should buy this book. It is particularly recommended for all American scientists who continue to deny that climate change exists. I found the book so gripping that I read it from cover to cover in one evening. However, you should petition the publishers to put a marginally less obscene pricetag on the book.

I'm an admitted sucker for nature writing and natural history, but am often disappointed in what I find out there. Not so with Fishcamp. This is that one-in-a-thousand book that I've longed for since first reading Walden twenty years ago. Ms. Lord writes beautifully of her day-to-day life fishing with her partner on Cook Inlet. And the stories and legends of the Dena'ina people, as well as the lives of the fishermen who have come before, will not be easily forgotten. This is not sentimental philosophizing about summers in Alaska. It is clear, respectful, and humble writing that will, I hope, be read for years to come

The morning after I finished reading Fools and Jesters of the English Court by John Southworth, I eagerly abandoned my bed and headed over to the Medieval Galleries at the Metropolitan Musuem of Art. I was anxious to test my newfound knowledge and see how many authentic English fools I could identify in the tapestries and stained glass. I knew the best clues would not be as obvious as the traditional jester's cap of bells. Now I know better than that. For casual English history buffs like me, Fools and Jesters of the English Court is an intriguing read, throwing an intensely revealing spotlight on these performers of old and their sometimes complex roles in medieval English society. However, for as many clever and shrewd "fools" who held unique positions of influence over their royal companions, there were just as many whose lives and minds were starkly simple by contrast. Southworth's book is a thorough education in this highly specific slice of England's history and will not be a quick, easy read for anyone not already possessing a related degree. However, for the rest of us, it is worth taking moments away to refer to the English royal family tree or to take the occasional grounding glance at a historical time line to get the best overall understanding of the material. Even without this effort, though, there are many anecdotes throughout that provide a satisfying look backwards at personalities that seldom make it through the filter of historical repetition -- of significant dates; of shocking statistics of battles and plagues; of scandal and brutality attributed to kings and queens.
