    Book Description

    From pony to airplane, from medicine dance to Christian worship-- Mountain Wolf Woman, Sister of Crashing Thunder is the life story of a Winnebago woman, told in her own words to her adopted kinswoman, Nancy Lurie. This retelling of more than seventy-five years of Native American life is both a candid and compelling account of how one woman lived through a period of cultural crisis.
    Mountain Wolf Woman tells of her childhood in Wisconsin, her brief stay at a mission school, her marriage to "Bad Soldier," and her religious experiences with peyote. Her struggle to maintain her family against many hardships--odds that would have defeated a less vigorous and self-confident person--underscores her perseverance and tenacity. Whether she is describing her wanderings as a child or her misfortunes later in life, Mountain Wolf Woman sets forth her views in honest and perceptive terms, adding all the more power to her narrative.
    This book is a valuable companion to the story of Mountain Wolf Woman's brother, immortalized by Paul Radin in Crashing Thunder, a classic of anthropological literature. It will also be of interest to those interested in ethnographic records, the role of women in native cultures, and Midwestern Native Americans, in general.
    " . . . a superb human document." --Chicago Sun-Times
    " . . . one of those rare books . . . ." --Saturday Review
    ". . . a notable contribution to the literature of culture change and culture and personality." --American Anthropologist
    Nancy O. Lurie has written extensively on Native American culture over her long career. She is now retired from her former position as head curator of anthropology, Milwaukee Public Museum.

                1 out of 5 stars Don't Waste Your Money.......2002-10-17

                This book was of no use whatsoever. We abandoned it on the second day of our trip. Far to brief to contain anything of value, its contents are close to what you would you probably already know about the area you are visiting. It hits the highlights and gives no unique or interesting insight.

                5 out of 5 stars Cecily keeps it interesting!.......2007-07-08

                Cecily von Ziegesar's 4th installment in the Gossip Girl series is fun and interesting. In this segment, Blair gets the chance to redue her Yale interview with one of her fathers friend who works for Yale. At school, Serena and Blair join a peer pressure group where Jenny and other freshmen, including Elise Owens gets advice and gets to ask for help on pressure. Blair falls in love with her Yale interviewer, who falls in love back. But she realizes that he was Elise's father, and Elise is saddend by the fact that her father is less around, and she believes he is having an affair, so Blair leaves him. Serena gets to model for ads and at a fashion show, which leads to the breakup of her and Aaron, Blair's stepbrother. One of Dan's poems gets published in a newspaper and it becomes famous, and he gets to speak at a country club, and go to party's. Vanessa's filming becomes famous, but she turns down and deal with a famous filmer. Nate goes to rehab after his dealer starts working for the police. There he mets another girl and saves her life, while also falling in love with her. Cecily did a great job on this novel, and she keeps the series interesting.

                5 out of 5 stars Gossip Girl, Because im worth it.......2007-04-14

                Welcome to New York, where all the drama, lies, friendships, and romance happen. Blair and Serena, best friends and seniors of Constance Billard School for Girls go through the hard time of getting ready for college. Dan and Vanessa, boyfriend and girlfriend struggle with the peer pressure of becoming famous. Dan is a Poet, Vanessa is a Film maker. Nate a senior prays that he gets accepted to Brown University, but that's not going to happen if he doesn't stay in rehab, even though he loves it. Blair suffers as she waits impatiently for her news of being accepted to Yale, while Serena model's and dates Blair's new step-brother Aaron. Jenny, Dan's younger sister who is in 9th grade falls in love with Nate (Blair's ex-boyfriend) who is a senior. But in the end Jenny finds out that he is not the one. Well, right now I'm going to stop before I tell you what happens in the end. But I would recommend this book for girls in 8th grade and up it explains so much about everyday life. Enjoy!

                5 out of 5 stars changes.......2006-08-24

                After the disappointed g.g book # 3 This book (The fourth one) comes out it's so good. It's good like the first book was. Alot of things happen that are shocking like Nate gets busted in the park and Blair has an affair with a married man! Wow it was good. But the thing I hate about this book is Dan and Vanessa. Anything with them I quickly read through. It's so boring until Dan cheats on her with Mystery Craze. Also he's becoming very arrogant just like the rest of the characters in this book and I hate that! His sister Jenny has a lesbian affair too. I didn't see that one coming. It's all too juicy to put down.

                5 out of 5 stars My favorite.......2006-07-03

                This is the third gossip girl novel. So far out of reading all of them so far, this is my favorite. I like the plot that Jenny and all the characters were into. They live the perfect lives and it's just hilarious to see what they're going to be doing next.

                Dan is the poet, Vanessa is the girl who knows what she wants to do, Blair is used to getting everything she wants. This sometimes happens. And Serena is just the star, who out glows them all in the plot. Nate is just pathetic in my opinion.

                4 out of 5 stars Gossip Girl- Because I'm worth it.......2006-06-25

                The Gossip Girl books are amazing and I often find myself thinking they should be made into a teenage T.V. show!
                The book was good as they always are but for me it was a bit of a let down because Nate and Blair are not together and that is just not an option. I also found some parts kind of unrealistic, I mean Jenny and Elise kissing!?
                This is also the book that Nate gets busted for smoking pot in. He is sent to rehab and meets this insane druggie girl Gorgie and they end up going out to Blair's horror.
                Dan gets really big headed in this book because his poem "Sluts" gets published in the New yorker and this weirdo agent Rusty Klein says she wants to represent him. Now thats all fine until Rusty introduces Dan to another one of her clients Mystery Craze. Mystery is supposedly writing a book about her life and as he should Dan finds her very odd at first. But surprisingly, towards the end of the book Dan finds himself cheating on Vanessa with Mystery. Vanessa eventually finds out when Dan and Mystery end up having sex on stage in front of an audience.
                I'll stop there before I totally spoil the whole story! But I will say this, if you were going to read the book go ahead and read it but don't hold me responsible if you don't like it!

                              Product Description

                              This compilation of lecture notes, now in its fourth edition, is designed for students in a two-semester organic chemistry course. The material serves to reinforce the notion that organic chemistry must first be perceived as a three-dimensional science upon which a detailed mechanistic interpretation can then be applied. With the aid of a stereoscopic viewer, included at the end of the book, the student is able to visualize various selected structures in 3D. This manual has also proven to be a tremendous asset for the student preparing to take the organic entrance exam for graduate study in chemistry

                                      In their translation of Euripides' Iphigeneia at Aulis, noted American poet W.S. Merwin and eminent classicist George E. Dimock offer a compelling look at the devastating consequence of "man's inhumanity to man." A stern critique of Greek culture, Iphigeneia at Aulis condemns the Trojan War, depicting the ugly and awesome power of political ambition. Agamemnon's sacrifice of his daughter Iphigeneia to facilitate the Greek Armies advance on Troy is marvelously conveyed by Merwin, as he impressively recreates the broad array of moral and emotional tones with which Euripides has invested one of the most moving plays in the history of drama. With its insightful introduction by Dimock, notes on the text, and a glossary of mythical and geographical terms, this edition of Iphigeneia at Aulis is indispensable to an understanding of Euripides' tragic vision.

                                      5 out of 5 stars Timely thoughts on the sacrifices of war.......2004-11-05

                                      This play contemplates the question of how many wars would be fought if the first to die were the children of the leaders themselves. The translation is quite readable but not strict, as a comparison of Greek with English line numbers quickly shows. The introductory essay and concluding notes on the play are especially helpful, placing the play in its historical context (the Peloponesian War) and explaining various allusions to mythological or historical events in the play itself.

                                      5 out of 5 stars excellent introduction to greek tragedy.......2002-05-01

                                      Of the half dozen or so plays I've read in Oxford University Press's "Greek Tragedy in New Translations" series, this is the best.

                                      An excellent synopsis and analysis of the play precedes a beautiful translation, smoothing the way for students. The play is one of the keys to understanding the Trojan War -- in addition to recapping the beef the Greeks have with Troy, there is much foreshadowing of what will happen ten years down the road.

                                      After reading Iphigeneia at Aulis, it's difficult to cut any of those Greek heroes any slack. If the situation weren't so horrible and tragic, the interactions and reactions of some of the characters would be funny: Achilles, for example, extremely annoyed that Agamemnon would take his name in vain when tricking Iphigeneia into coming to Aulis -- if Agamemnon had asked him for his help first, then tricking the girl into coming to be sacrificed would have been okay. Or Menelaos, coming around to Agamemnon's way of thinking (that it would, after all, be wrong to kill Iphigeneia), and suggesting that only he, Agamemnon and Kalchas the priest know about the need for a sacrifice to get a fair wind to Troy, and that Kalchas won't tell: "Not if he's dead."

                                      This play, and this translation, are probably one of the best introductions a student could have to Greek tragedy.

                                      4 out of 5 stars First rate, modern translation.......2002-02-28

                                      Finding first rate translations can be a hit and miss affair. However, this it definitely a "hit". Merwin's translation of Euripides' tragedy is masterful and deserves the glowing reviews it has received here as elsewhere. Readers of this review might be interested to know that it is part of a series called "The Greek Tragedy in New Translations". And while it is out of print, good used copies are freely available in the Amazon marketplace -- which is where I secured mine.

                                      Merwin has rendered a taut, readable version in modern English. And the volume is supplemented with an extremely interesting introduction by George Dimock -- with which I am not sure I entirely agree -- though he does a fine job of fitting the play within the context of the Peloponnesian War.

                                      For me, the riveting aspect of this work is the treatment that Achilles gets (Agamemnon, of course, gets a good drubbing, which is satisfying -- but hardly unexpected!). We see him at Aulis, a young man as yet unbowed and unbloodied by the years of warfare at Troy. Dimock makes a rather startling remark when he asseverates, "The one thing that his [Achilles] speeches do not contain is simple human feeling such as Paris might entertain: it does not seem to have occurred to him that a young girl is about to die." And he is rather critical of Achilles for this (I might even say that his introduction is suffused with "pro-Trojan" sympathies). But for me, isn't this rather the whole point? Of course Achilles is like this, it took TEN years of warfare and the death of Patroclus for him to learn (and recall that he ALONE among the Greeks appears to have absorbed the lesson) how to be "human" -- on this see Bernard Knox's introduction to Robert Fagles' brilliant translation of the Iliad. I prefer the General Editor's view on this when he says, "the play enacts the heroic education of Achilles." Well, at least it enacts the very early stages of it!

                                      Merwin is a wonderful poet -- and I would also recommend his translation of Dante's Purgatorio and Paradiso. For readers in search of other top notch modern translations, see Stanley Lombardo's truly astonishing translations of the Iliad and the Odyssey. See also Nicholas Pevear's translation of Aias.

                                      Here is a sample of Merwin's translation (from the Chorus's reaction to a speech of Agamemnon's):

                                      "O Cyprian,
                                      most beautiful of the goddesses, keep
                                      such wild flights from me.
                                      Let me know love
                                      within reason and desire within
                                      marraige, and feel your presence
                                      not your rage.
                                      The natures of humans
                                      are various, and human ways of acting
                                      are different,
                                      but everyone knows what is right,
                                      and teaching
                                      inclines them at last to virtue."

                                      4 out of 5 stars An Ancient Greek Anti-War Play........2001-12-29

                                      This ancient Greek play by the famous playwrite Euripides is a diatribe on war and the foolishness of pride. The play is often thought to be an incomplete work, but as Dimock points out in the introduction, recent discoveries suggest that IPHIGENEIA AT AULIS isn't as incomplete as once thought. This edition includes a fine introduction, several detailed notes on the text, and a glossary of proper nouns. The book is not too difficult to read and can be useful for students of the theatre and/or ancient Greek culture.

                                          5 out of 5 stars Euripides provides a prologue to the Trojan War.......2003-04-17

                                          "Iphigenia at Aulis" was the last play written by Euripides and represents his most cynical depiction of the mythological heroes in a career based on revealing the faults and foibles of the gods in dramatic form. The subject of this tragedy is the sacrifice of Iphigenia, daughter of King Agamemnon of Argos, in order to appease the goddess Artemis, so that the Achaen fleet can have fair winds to sail to Troy and bring back Helen after ten years of bloody war.

                                          I have used this play as part of large unit on the Trojan War right before proceding to Homer's epic poem the "Iliad." Not only does the play obvious come at that point in terms of the chronology of the war, but it clearly foreshadows the initial confrontation in the "Iliad" between Agamemnon and Achilles over the fate of Briseis of the lovely arms. Euripides invests the beginning of Homer's saga with painful irony as Agamemnon rejects the pleas of Briseis's father; after all, has the Achean leader really forgotten the pain of sacrificing his daughter ten years earlier? In Euripides's play it becomes clear that Agamemnon does not care for his daughter; she is but a bargaining chip in his ploy for power. But beyond Homer this play also sets up Agamemnon's final fate, when he returns in glory from Troy only to be slain in his bath by his wife, Clytemnestra, the mother of not only Iphigenia but also Electra and Orestes.

                                          The sacrifice of Iphigenia is ultimately an evil deed badly done. As her father and ruler Agamemnon could simply order his daughter to come to Aulis, but instead he concocts a fake marriage to Achilles, the most eligible of the young Achean heroes. Of course this brings not only Iphigenia, but her mother Clytemnestra. For Euripides, Clytemnestra will witness the death of her oldest daughter in person. When Achilles finds out he has been a pawn in this deadly little game he is incensed, but in the end he turns out to be as foolish and as wicked as the rest of the characters.

                                          All of the sympathy goes towards Iphigenia, the only true hero in the drama since she alone acts selflessly. Besides, Euripides had already established in "Iphigenia at Tarus" that the maiden was not actually killed and would eventually be reconciled with her brother Orestes, so the emphasis here is more on the two great heroes making fools of themselves. Any one teaching the "Iliad" should at least provide the gist of "Iphigenia at Aulis" as background material, along with the story of the Judgment of Paris. This edition provides both the original Greek text and detailed commentaries on language and interpretation, which includes the obvious context of the play's meaning in terms of the Peloponnesian War.
