We Were the Mulvaneys (Oprah Selection)by: Joyce Carol Oates, J. Todd Adams March 05, 2001 |
||
|
We Were the Mulvaneys tells the story of the Mulvaney family: handsome, successful patriarch Michael Mulvaney Sr., who owns a thriving roofing business and enjoys the friendship and contacts of many of the movers and shakers in small Mt. Ephraim, New York; blue-eyed, lithe, religious Corinne, mother to the Mulvaney clan and avid antique collector; eldest son Mike Jr., a football star at local Mt. Ephraim High School; Patrick, the brainy, analytical son who graduates valedictorian of his high school class and goes on to study on scholarship at Cornell; beautiful Marianne, a cheerleader, devout Christian, and popular student; and little Judd, who, even at his young age, exhibits a precocious charm.
The family lives with a friendly ... Read More: >>More Details |

This is the book I've been waiting for.
As a partner in a mixed marriage (one vegetarian, one omnivore), I've often wondered how to cook for both of us - and how to show my husband the fun and merit of leaving meat out of the equation. More importantly, I've wondered how to think in bilingual terms. Usually I have to grit my teeth when surrounded by meat eaters, which is most of the time. How do you explain your moral choice? The last sections of the book show, with just enough detail about the meat industry's practices, why most of us vegetarians choose a plant-based diet. And how do you explain that you're not deprived or slightly anemic? I think any omnivore who read this book would emerge reassured, piqued, and eager to get into ... Read More: >>More Details |

Feminism AND veganism? This would seem like the book of my dreams. But it wasn't.
I was looking for some really strong arguments backed with opinions and modern issues, but there wasn't anything like that in this book. In fact I'm sure that I could come up with better points in comparing animal exploitation to women's exploitation. Though I do feel happy that this book was written and I respect Carol J. Adams for writing it. >>More Details |

Violence Against Women and Children: A Christian Theological Sourcebookfrom: Continuum 1996-01 |
||
|
For women's advocates and children's advocates, and especially for compassionate members of faith communities, this book is essential reading! As more of us move toward the realization that woman abuse and child abuse are part of a larger whole, books like "Violence Against Women and Children" are both helpful and necessary.
The essays contained in the book address both domestic violence and child abuse and neglect. They boldly address the response of the faith community. I say "boldly," because the book necessarily points out how faith communities tend to hide or minimize abuse and neglect. The sad result is that abusers are given the subtle message to continue, and victims/survivors learn that their faith community is yet another unsafe place to be. ... Read More: >>More Details |

This book teaches your child how to make a board game based on their favorite book, and it's interactive, like a workbook.
The premise of the book is fun. Instead of being a standard workbook, it's written in a style that mimics an actual journey, with "Postcards" that your child will fill in and "Guideposts", which are for the parent or teacher to read. While a child reading and discovering this book will probably be gently tricked into thinking that they're doing nothing but having fun, as a parent or teacher, you'll realize how much they're getting out of the activity! They're thinking critically about their chosen book, finding ways to adapt it into a game using math and logic, and being artistic! What more can you ask? This ... Read More: >>More Details |

Any analysis that examines at the intersections of oppression (in this case speciesism and sexism) is important. Unfortunately, Adams is a scattered, non-linear thinker. Her writing is convoluted and fragmented. If a reader is neither a passionate animal rights advocate nor committed to an anti-pornography perspective, s/he is not likely to be very tolerant of the poor writing. As such, most readers who finish this book are probably already members of the choir. This is unfortunate. I hope Adams finds an articulate co-author for her next book. I give four stars for the ideas in the book, and I give two stars for the writing.
