The Nature of the Farm: Contracts, Risk, and Organization in Agriculture
Douglas W. Allen , and Dean Lueck Manufacturer: The MIT Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 0262122537 |
Book Description
The Nature of the Farm is a theoretical and empirical study of contracts and organization in agriculture based on the transaction cost framework. Transaction costs are important in agriculture because nature (for example, seasonality, weather, pests) plays such a critical role in determining output and limiting the ability of farmers to specialize. The book develops specific models and tests the implications of those models against data sets from across North American agriculture, as well as against historical case studies such as eighteenth-century European land contracts and the late nineteenth-century Bonanza farms in the United States.

Interesting facts, funny and a good read while traveling.......2004-07-01
It is terribly sad that in todays ghastly political climate many of the bloopers and missteps by our leaders depicted in this book would result in calls for censure, resignation or impeachment.
Just like the stupid stuff going around about VP Cheney giving Patrick Leahy a very long overdue and deserved dressing down. I mean it is not like Democrats have been all flowers and frills lately. They need to give us a break and just get over it.
It is actually refreshing to see politicians let their true feelings and personality traits come through once in a while.
My God why is no one asking Howard Dean, Ted Kennedy, Al Gore, or John Kerry to go to "Anger Management" courses, they have said offensive things recently.
And we are practically inundated with much worse in threaters, on TV and everywhere else today.
Gee let us not forget that Bill Clinton verbally attack an interviewer an no one seemed insensed about that. Or Hillary Clinton, who now suggest it for Cheney but who is herself reported to have yelled and used that same "F" word towards a Jewish person in the past and she was not sent to "Anger Management". Let us not forget the throwing of things in the White House (the peoples house) either. The hypocrisy is astounding.
It proves that they are all just human after all and not the Gods, Kings, Potentates or Prophets they sometimes think themselves to be. Nor are any of them the unblemished indispensable models of perfection we mere mortals sometimes try to cloak them in.
So, I very much enjoyed this book, which was a great airport and traveling companion, mostly due to the rather short nature of the information given. You could pick it up laugh a little and put it down and later take it up again without feeling like you lost the momentum of the book.
Ill tell you though, just to get my conservative dig into the mix. The one thing that really stood out in my mind, that completely justified me calling all politicians hypocrites. Is the fact that everyone on the left seemed to (including you know who) complain about the 70-80 million dollars spend by Ken Starr to do his job, as directed by that enabler Janet Reno herself. Yet in this book it says Bill Clinton spend 45 million (yep million with an m) just to go to China and accomplish nothing.
It must have been one of those legacy building taxpayer funded attempts at a legacy to match Richard Nixons historic breakthrough in China or Ronald Reagan's tearing down of the Berlin Wall.
I wonder how much Hillary spent taking that month or more long, around the world tour, with Chelsea when she found out Bill and all his cohorts in the White House and his Cabinet had willfully lied to the American people about his affair. Or how about all those taxpayer dollars to fund those so-called listening tours (which we all know without a doubt were illegal campaign trips) to New York to solidify her win of a Senate seat to keep the family involved in politics. I heard all these little trips came to many hundreds-of-millions of dollars!
They have marital problems and the poor children of America and the homeless and the out of work citizens must suffer and pay for her to travel and just get away or listen.
Gee where is Michael Moore when really disgusting political Blips were in progress? I enjoyed this book and recommend it for it's historical and it's comical nature.

Musical Migrations: Transnationalism and Cultural Hybridity in Latin/o America, Volume I
Manufacturer: Palgrave Macmillan ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items:
ASIN: 1403960011 |
Book Description
The transcultural impact of Latin American musical forms in the United States calls for a deeper understanding of the shifting cultural meanings of music. Musical Migrations examines the tensions between the value of Latin popular music as a metaphor for national identity and its transnational meanings as it traverses national borders, geocultural spaces, audiences, and historical periods. The anthology addresses the role of popular music in Caribbean diasporas in the US and Europe; the trans-Caribbean identities of Salsa and reggae; the racial, cultural, and ethnic hybridity in rock across the Americas; and the tensions between tradition and modernity in Peruvian indigenous music, mariachi music in the United States, and Trinidadian music.

SoulTsunami
Dr. Leonard Sweet Manufacturer: Zondervan ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items:
ASIN: 0310243122 |
Amazon.com
Will the tsunami wave of change sweep Christianity away? Or will religious followers be able to ride the cresting tidal wave of cyberterrorism and social malaise that threaten Christian values in the 21st century? Rather than sink into denial or flee to safe bunkers, Sweet suggests that devout Christians "hoist the sails" just as Noah did when faced with a flood. "While the world is rethinking its entire cultural formation, it is time to find new ways of being the church that are true to our postmodern context," writes author Leonard Sweet, vice president of postmodern Christianity at Drew University in Madison, New Jersey. This book is packed with suggestions (framed as "Life Rings") for keeping Christianity a thriving and vital global force. "Life Ring" chapter titles include "Get Glocal--the Global Renaissance," and "Get De-Churched-De-Everything." Although the tsunami metaphor feels overextended, devout Christians appreciate the savvy and passionate vision of this popular author.Book Description
This book explains the tidal wave of postmodernism that is sweeping our culture and shows how the church can safely sail the troubled seas and fulfill its mission and calling.Customer Reviews:

Forecast of a Post Modern Tidal Wave.......2004-07-10
The book serves as an introduction to ministry in a Post Modern culture. At times he seems to be an apologist for Post Modernity. You probably won't always agree with the writer but he will give you a look into the mind of the culture. His presentation of the current ministry realities makes this a significant book and certainly worth the read.
Sweet is a chaotic, quirky, witty, and sometimes annoying writer. If you want a real experience, listen to the audio book. It is a unique and an attention keeping creation. In fact, I'd recommend the audio version over the written effort.

A gyroscope for the postmodern church.......1999-05-14
The terra firma of the modern world has given way to the fluid, amorphous culture of postmodernism. It is an ocean on which the "old ship of Zion" must set sail. This book's subtitle, "Sink or Swim in New Millennium Culture," aptly sums up the challenge postmodernism presents to the church.
SoulTsunami is engaging (who could tell from Sweet's straightforward writing style that he's actually an academic?), comprehensive (well researched and chock full of facts), and disturbing (especially, for me, Life Ring #5, "Get Bionomic," a fascinating and soul-agitating glimpse into our future). Yet Sweet's appraisal of the postmodern predicament is honest and right on target. Approach this book with an open mind, accept Sweet's challenges (even if you don't agree with everything he says), and be prepared to "get over" any pre-conceived ideas of how the Christian faith ought to be.
SoulTsunami should be on the reading list of every pastor, cell group leader, choir member, church organist, youth minister/worker, and pew-warmer.
