Miller Gaas Guide 1995: A Comprehensive Restatement of Generally Accepted Auditing Standards (Miller Gaas Guide, 1995)

Amazon.com

Racial preferences are one of the most controversial issues in American public policy. Terry Eastland offers a compelling argument for dismantling them entirely. In this cogent analysis--better presented here than in several books holding similar views--Eastland shows how bureaucratic and judicial rulings transformed the civil rights movement's noble ideal of equal opportunity for all individuals into the much more problematic goal of equal results for all groups.

Book Description

In the 1960s, we resolved as a nation never to judge people by the color of their skin. But today, race-based public policy has once again become the norm, this time under the banner of affirmative action. How, asks Terry Eastland, did such a turnabout take place, and how can we restore colorblind law in America today? In this compelling and powerful book, Eastland lays bare the absurdities and injustices of affirmative action, and presents the strongest case to date for doing away with race-based and gender-based preferences-- a ringing call for all Americans to reclaim our nation's shared values of equal protection under the law, without reference to race, color, creed, gender, or national origin.

an impartial view on a contentious topic.......2007-04-13

Readers looking for an impassioned tirade against racial quotas will be disappointed. Readers who are fed up with all the impassioned tirades against and all the fanatical polemics in favor of giving certain people Most Favored Race status will find this book a welcome relief.

Chapter 1 (pp. 1 - 20) makes the point that prejudice by any other name is still prejudice. It doesn't cease to be prejudice depending on which race it is directed against.
Chapter 2 (pp. 21 - 38) sketches the history of the America's insistence on no discrimination based on "race, color, creed or country of national origin."

Chapter 3 describes the about-face the nation did in the 1960s. "It is hard to find in the speeches or statements of civil rights leaders prior to the early 1960s any sustained interest in `preferential treatment' for blacks." (p. 42). In 1961, CORE, then a small splinter party, began to agitate for racial preferences. One thing that helped cause the about-face was rioting. "The traditional response to a riot had been to hold the rioting individuals responsible." (p. 44). A commission appointed by President Johnson in 1968 held that "white racism" was responsible. (p. 45). This began the now-accepted practice of holding the victims responsible for the crimes of racially ennobled individuals.

Once the crack had been opened to preferences based on factors other than skills and performance, the dam burst and many other groups were granted Most Favored Group status until by 1990 the only group not eligible for preferential treatment was white American heterosexual males.

As legal challenges were mounted and public opposition swelled, the wording of laws became more cagey: race, ethnicity and country of national origin were to be "one factor among many" in determining who was preferred. This protected the preferred groups from legal challenges and allowed them to go on doing preference-as-usual in college admissions, hiring and contracting.

What most Americans do not realize is that this rather bizarre program and its rationale was only one among several that has placed this nation in great peril. If you want to read the whole story, get While America Sleeps: How Islam, Immigration and Indoctrination Are Destroying America from Within. All of these threats were started and are allowed to continue because of a change in the mind-set of American leaders and media people. The only way to save America is to change this mind-set.

Great incisive work.......2003-04-23

This is another in a growing wave of anti-affirmative action books. It is also one of the best.

It focuses on the twisted history of affirmative action and how the original purpose of the civil rights movement was respect for individual liberty without the "group rights" philisophy intrinsic in affirmative action.

Bureaucrats looking for short cuts and easy solutions pushed affirmative action - without democratic legislative approval. Minority groups behaved as anyone receiving a state-sponsored benefit does - they adopted the "philosophy" and began to protect their newly discovered "rights". The fact that these "rights" had no legal basis and questionable pedigree in the cast and race-obsessed systems of India, Malaysia and Yugoslavia seemed of little consequence at the time. The term "Balkanisation" (a sad relic of Old World ethnic hatred) now has a disturbing echo in the affirmative action policies of the New World.

Other reviewers may argue that affirmative action policies cannot be "unjust" because, although discriminatory, they are not designed to humiliate or alienate whites - only to benefit that amorphous group called "underrepresented minorities". The argument turns to dust when it is realised the biggest losers in the affirmative action contest are Asians. But no one wants that little secret revealed.

The fatal flaw in Terry Eastland's book.......1999-03-07

The fatal flaw in Terry Eastland's book is his interpretation of Justice John Marshall Harlan's famous dissent in the case Plessy v. Ferguson. Indeed, this is the same flaw that can be found in the arguments many of the opponents of affirmative action.

Astonishingly, Mr. Eastland's book refers to Justice John Marshall Harlan as Justice John Paul Harlan.

Mr. Eastland argues that Justice Harlan, in his dissent in Plessy, wrote "that government should not have the authority to engage in racial regulation of any kind." Mr. Eastland uses Justice Harlan's now famous statement "Our constitution (sic) is color-blind, and neither knows nor tolerates classes among citizens" to build a case that affirmative action violates our Constitution. Mr. Eastland, along with other opponents of affirmative action is mistaken. Contrary to the assertions of Mr. Eastland affirmative action respects Justice Harlan's "color-blind" Constitution. Like other opponents of affirmative action, such as Stephen and Abigail Thernstrom who in their book, America in Black and White, have the same flaw in their argument, Mr. Eastland misunderstands Justice Harlan's dissent in Plessy.

Plessy v. Ferguson was the Supreme Court case decided in 1896 which upheld the 'separate but equal' doctrine. It was this doctrine that formed the Constitutional justification for the set of racial laws known as Jim Crow. The case arose as a result of a Louisiana law which required equal but separate accommodations aboard passenger trains for the black and white races. Justice Harlan was the only Supreme Court Justice to dissent in the Plessy case.

Justice Harlan made it very clear in his dissent that he opposed Louisiana's law because it was "conceived in hostility to, and enacted for the purpose of humiliating, citizens of the United States of a particular race." Justice Harlan acknowledged that the white race was the dominant race in wealth and in power. This dominance, Justice Harlan noted, did not give the white race a superior position with regard to the rights protected by the Constitution. The Constitution, according to Justice Harlan, recognizes "no superior, dominant, ruling class of citizens. There is no cast here. Our Constitution is color-blind, and neither knows nor tolerates classes among citizens. In respect of civil rights, all citizens are equal before the law. The humblest is the peer of the most powerful. The law regards man as man, and takes no account of his surroundings or of his color when his civil rights as guaranteed by the supreme law of the land are involved."

Justice Harlan did not object to the Louisiana law because it recognized the social, political, and cultural reality of race. Justice Harlan found the Louisiana law contrary to our Constitution because the action of the Louisiana legislature proceeded, according to Justice Harlan, "on the ground that colored citizens are so inferior and degraded that they cannot be allowed to sit in public coaches occupied by white citizens?" Justice Harlan's "color-blind" Constitution is "color-blind" precisely because it recognizes "every right that inheres in civil freedom, and of the equality before the law of all citizens of the United States without regard to race." Thus, Justice Harlan argued, laws that would allow individuals of one race to degrade and put into an inferior position individuals of another race notwithstanding any inequalities in the actual social, political, and economic positions of these individuals, would be unconstitutional.

Regarding affirmative action the issue is whether these programs conform to or violate Justice Harlan's "color-blind" Constitution. To find out, I have formulated the following questions that are based on the reasons Justice Harlan used in finding that the Louisiana law violated the principles of the "color-blind" Constitution. The words in quotation marks are the words used by Justice Harlan in his Plessy dissent.

Are affirmative action programs "conceived in hostility to" the white race?

Are affirmative action programs "enacted for the purpose of humiliating" the white race?

Are the effects of an affirmative action program such that it "practically, puts the brand of servitude and degradation upon" whites?

Do affirmative action programs proceed on the belief that white "citizens are so inferior and degraded that they cannot be allowed" in our schools of medicine and law?

Do affirmative action programs violate any "right that inheres in civil freedom" and deny "the equality before the law of all citizens of the United States without regard to race?"

The answers to these questions are no.

Affirmative action, therefore, conforms to the principle of the "color-blind" Constitution and does not violate the rights of whites. Mr. Eastland and the other opponents of affirmative action are seriously mistaken when they insist otherwise. I agree with the other reviewers, such as Linda Chavez, who note that "Terry Eastland puts forth the best argument to date" for opposing affirmative action. But I have shown that this argument, though it is the best that the opponents of affirmative action can make, is fatally flawed.

Book Description

The distribution of elements in the cosmos, a result of the many processes in the Universe's history, provides a means for studying the Big Bang, the density of baryonic matter, nucleosynthesis, and the formation and evolution of stars and galaxies. This textbook, by a pioneer in the field, forms a lucid, comprehensive introduction to the interdisciplinary subject of galactic chemical evolution. The author carefully explains a broad spectrum of exciting astrophysics, from thermonuclear reactions, abundance measurements in astronomical sources, cosmological element production, stellar evolution and nucleosynthesis, to light element production by cosmic rays and the effects of galactic processes on the evolution of the elements. The reader is then equipped to develop an intuitive and analytical understanding of results from numerical models and real observations. Simple, elegant derivations for key results are provided throughout, together with problems and helpful solution hints. This long-awaited textbook provides a comprehensive introduction to the broad subject of galactic chemical evolution for advanced undergraduate and graduate students, and an invaluable overview for researchers.

Book Description

The observational and interpretive tools for the study of chemical evolution are starting to be mature enough that they can be applied with some confidence to extra-galactic systems and integrated populations at increasingly high redshift. This book is devoted to the study of the interplay between different methods of measuring chemical abundances with astrophysical models. Studies of chemical abundances and evolution from stars, inter-stellar medium and local group galaxies at zero redshift to distant galaxies, clusters of galaxies and inter-galactic medium at high redshift are presented. There are also synopses on progress in instrumentation for abundance determination.

Book Description

Planetary nebulae are gaseous envelopes ejected from solar-type stars at the end of their lives. They have traditionally been considered by specialists as testbeds for theories of stellar evolution and as laboratories to study the physics of warm nebular gases. The interest of the astronomical community in planetary nebulae has increased considerably in recent years due to the demonstration that planetary nebulae can be used to measure the distances and masses of galaxies or to reveal the presence of stars outside galaxies. This conference explored the entire potential of planetary nebulae as tools for astronomy.

DEADLY RIVALS FOR CENTURIES,

DESTINY WILL BRING THEM TOGETHER.

Vampires and werewolves. Sworn enemies for over nine hundred years, they have fought a secret war in the darkest shadows of the mortal world, pitting undead strength and cunning against feral rage and savagery. Now, in the hip Gothic streets of modern-day Budapest, the ancient conflict takes an unexpected new twist. Selene is a Death Dealer, a vampire warrior dedicated to the destruction of the hated lycans. Michael is a werewolf, an innocent American newly infected with the lupine curse. Against all reason and history, they find themselves drawn together even as the grisly inhuman war rushes toward its nightmarish climax. They have no idea of the power their unlikely union can unleash -- and of the terrifying secrets that will be revealed in the unearthly realm of...

UNDERWORLD

A gripping tale of passion, betrayal, and revenge starring Kate Beckinsale and Scott Speedman

Customer Reviews:

Super Reader.......2007-08-07

Selene is a vampire, and a werewolf hunter. For hundreds of years she has done this, but everything changes when she uncovers the truth behind the vampire and lycan relationship in the past, and what her superiors have actually done, and the conspiracies they are currently involved in.

This leads her to be the protector of a human, who can bring the vampire and lycan bloodlines together in one man.

Beneath The Underworld.......2007-04-27

Couldn't help but noticing the striking clues that Selene on the balcony is Kate Beckinsale and a rugged looked young American doctor named Michael Corvin is Scott Speedman.
I bought this book after I have seen the movie. The reason is a mix of celebrity-crush and curiousity for some unexplained stuffs due to pack of action thriller rules so the silver screen doesn't provide a space to put the thought of its characters. For example, by reading this book I know how this American Corvin could end up in an always raining city somewhere in Eastern Europe. Who actually the woman in the photographs and a bit of the fate of the girl that Corvin tries to save in subway (including her name), also how Selene muses her amazement on this `Samaritan youth' (a longer scene in the pier when she have to slid her body over onto Corvin). A space for Kraven's narcisstic behaviour and a look inside others's thought proven to help shape their characters.
As the novelization this book faithfully follows the story in the movie and adds light to some unclear storyline.
As in the movie the book tells how this Corvin becomes a key in the long feud between the werewolves and the vampires. Lucian, an old werewolf tries at any cost to unlock and eventually brings this feud to an end and Selene, in the twist of fate, bullets, and tyres, unintendedly, completes Lucian's mission, and solved her blurred past, and as a bonus: got Corvin as an object of her affection.
Entertaining. This book can shoo your pain away in the trafic jam or long line queue, or in a jiggling chair of train. After all, it is not every night you have a chance to run into a leather-clad babe in subway.

wonderful.......2007-02-22

Based on the movie, this book is just terrific. Like most movie books there are a few added scenes, but overall it flows just like the movie did, no different plot twists or anything. A good vamp/werewolf (lycan) read.

I really like this author........2007-01-04

This is a fun great read. It follows the story of the movie and even gives you a little more insight. The author does a fantastic job of giving us a glimpse inside the characters heads. I really enjoyed his writing style. If you liked the movie and enjoy reading, then you will enjoy this book.

Just like the movie.......2005-10-12

Undeworld was written just like the movie portrays it. The only difference maybe in the greater detail. I believe the book goes into a greater detail with some of the lesser visible characters and with some of the story. One instance from the story line is how Selene and Michael get back to the mansion after her car runs into the river. I also was unaware that the story took place in Prague (maybe I just missed that in the movie). There is also more detail about Erika, the blonde from the movie that chases after Kraven.
I saw the movie first, but I still enjoyed the book.

My Standard Operating Procedure for reading Kaz's "Underworld" is to flip through until I read a page that makes me say out loud "Oh, my God! That's horrible!"
Then I put it away for a couple of days until the mood strikes me to flip through it once again.
Give copies to all your friends and family and watch with glee as they slowly realize you are not who they thought you were...

A Comic Masterpiece.......2003-04-28

Kaz, the master of the underground comic buisness, has made an incredible depiction of the underground life in cities. He satires drinking, drugs, sex and abuse with ease and makes you laugh at those things that you know you shouldn't. His characters are flawless symbols of evil and imperfection and the artistic look of the general book is amazing. A buy worth every penny.

kaz is one of the greats.......2001-10-27

Underworld is a hilariously nightmarish cartoon city where the denizens are a twisted mockery and amalgam of all the cartoons from gag strips of Yore. You will see somewhat familiar faces, skewed and distorted. Its everything that cartoons have ever been, without the limitations of staying within the safe confines of Cartoonyland...

The gags are just as corny as any Family Circus you've ever read, with a disturbing twist that makes the old jokes absolutely hilarious. Kaz knows comics. Kaz is comics. There is something truely upsetting yet oddly hysterical about reading a simple punchline like "heroin" that causes a bizarro Snuffy Smith to faint off camera.

Once you read Kaz's work, you will crave more...for any fan of reality and any enemy of King Features Syndicate.

Smoking Cat Rules.......1998-01-12

Funny! Surreal! If you let people tell you how you should live your life at least don't let them tell you what to read. Life is too short and Kaz's vignettes make note of that. His cartoons are one of a kind and in need of experiencing. Well, I have.

For those who like their pulp to be sci fi noir on CD.......2006-04-09

A 5-CD set, a 'techno drama' adventure of Ruby, galactic gumshoe. This is part 1 (one week's worth of shows?) of The Underworld. Each CD is 53-57min.

"Ruby stories feature a full cast of actors with sensational sound effects and music. Ruby is audio drama at its finest. Winner of the CPB Silver Award for Technical Achievement and AIR Best Independent Radio Production Award. For a catalog of the complete Ruby adventures, call ZBS at 1-800-662-3345."

The phone# still works (I called on a weekend, and a recording gave their work hours), so if you finish part 1 of this science-fiction-pulp-noir, presumably you can get the rest. It's too over-the-top with the dialog, music, and reading, for my taste.
