just another review
For all people who want to inform themselves about socialism and communism in very abstract way. Personally I prefer to treat an issue in a realistic way, and I think the oppinions and feelings of the situations that Orwell describes would better be understood if he had used human characters.

FINE

not too bad
I have had to read this book for the English class and I must say that it is not bad. For me it was not easy to understand and so I was tired to read it. But I think that it was a good choice to read this book in class because you can learn much about the Revolution in Russia but also a lot about tyranny.

A duty toward vegetariansm
I expected a more "animal rights" version of why we should all be vegetarians.In fact, this is a very balanced explanation of how we *used to* take better care of our farm animals == they were practicallyunder the same roof as us;there was an unwritten contract between us andthe animals, that if we took care of them, they would "take care ofus."but now that "animal husbandry" has become"animal science" -- and animals are no longer under our roof,this "contract" is no longer a fair contract: there is benefitfor only the human and not the animal.

Bernard Rollin gives both themeat eater and the vegetarian a lot to think about with this book. I highlyrecommend it for all. ... Read more

Product Description
This narrative history of nursing education is a case study of a single institution set within the context of trends in the nursing profession, nursing education, and health care practices in the Midwest and the United States. The detailed research and analysis in this work make a fundamental contribution not only to the history of nursing but also to the broader history of women's work, the history of women in higher education, and the history of the health care professions.
The Midwestern focus of Complete in All Its Parts and its emphasis on the post-World War II emergence of the University of Iowa College of Nursing provide a fresh perspective on the education of nurses, especially the education of nurses within a major teaching-research university. In doing so, this book pushes nursing historiography beyond the profession's early development, details the struggles involved in establishing nursing as a legitimate academic endeavor in the university environment, and provides groundwork for a comparison with other such institutions across the nation.
Its core audience includes health care professionals and educators as well as institutional historians, perhaps especially those involved in the history of American health care institutions.
Lee Anderson and Kathy Penningroth are partners in A & P Historical Resources of Coralville, Iowa.

School.
School continues to be one of the most traumatizing/wonderful experiences of my life. This book talks about school from all angles .. highly recommended.

A must-read for everyone who's ever been to school
This collection includes some of the best poems of our time--all related to school.

The names of teachers--Mrs.Krikorian, Mrs. Smythe, and the rest--bring back our own teachers' facesand even their "sausage arms." Teachers themselves speak here aswell, with humor, sadness, or a sense of loss about the classrooms ofchildren they have known. This volume, with work by our best contemporarypoets, is a must-read for anyone who teaches or learns or who has ever beenin school. ... Read more
