excellent book.......2007-01-11
excellent for know much more, also about the ilogic or unlogic of the capitalism ... very good for the knowledge that need some presidents like Hugo Chavez, Evo Morales and european comunity Zapatero's boys.
Still Timely.......2006-07-18
A wise and well thought-out booklet. Some readers may be put off by the level of abstraction, but how else can essential properties be discussed other than by abstraction from particular cases. Happily, the text proceeds without the obsessive concern with how things differ-- the hallmark of post-modernism, our intellectual fashion of the day. Nonetheless, the slim volume is not a primer and does make some demands of the reader.
In measured terms, Heilbroner characterizes capitalism as a concept and shows how its defining drive to appropriate profits shapes the entire society. There are a number of departures from Marxist social theory (e.g. the formative role of prestige-desire in the accumulation process), but the outline remains basically intact There are, of course, any number of practical upshots resulting from this point of view. One topical result (mine, not his) would be that instead of talking in neutral fashion about Western society or civilization in its current state, it would be more accurate to characterize each as `capitalist' or `bourgeois', since that class dominates the societal formation as a whole. Accordingly, the so-called `clash of civilizations' with the world of Islam, for example, would be better understood as a clash between Western capitalist civilization with whatever one makes of the Islamic side, a conceptual shift that puts a different cast on the nature of the conflict. Thus, instead of descibing the clash as between "freedom" and those "who hate freedom", as Bush invidiously puts it, the conflict would be framed in terms of profits expansion into a previously recalcitrant region of the world. (In that regard, consider L. Paul Bremer's diktats privatizing the Iraq economy, ones that any succeeding govrnment is legally bound to carry out. So much then for Iraqi self-determination!) All in all, this is not a mere quibble over words, but has far-reaching consequences.
Again, the obvious touchstone is Marx. And while the author follows the broad outline of Marxian social theory, he also wants to loosen up some of the more determinist elements. There is, for example, no mention of such common determinist staples as `dialectical necessity' or `historical inevitability. Heilbroner's is a much less certain world. In that sense, the book can be viewed as a broad reckoning of what remains relevant from Marx's classic social theory and what does not. Given the Bush administration's uncompromising revival of 19th century economics and imperial expansion, perhaps it's time to take an updated look at capital's foremost 19th-century critic.
Short additions.......2005-11-04
I won't add too much to what the other reviewers have already said. This is a good read, but it can be offputting because of the way the author writes (almost train-of-thought from a erudite speaker).
Stick with it though, as it becomes more comfortable a few chapters in (unfortunately, the book's only 7 chapters!). If anything, I think it's possible to skip the preface and first chapter, which I didn't find all that illuminating. He defines what "nature" (causes, reasonings) and "logic" (manifestations, rules, expressions of nature) are from an abstract point of view, but takes an entire chapter to say it.
What capitalism IS........2004-04-25
Heilbroner in this book attempts to show what capitalism is, and he looks to a wide range of fields to find the answer. Drawing upon Freud, Smith, Marx and a number of well known economists, philosophers and scholars, he argues that Capitalism is not a state but rather a process, that developed by the inner need of man to dominate and gain power. He contrasts primitive and tributary systems that accumulated surplus for use values with capitalism which seeks surplus for the creation of more surplus; Marx's M-C-M'. The rest of the book builds upon this notion of capital's relentless search for profits.
Although you may not completely agree with Heilbroner's analysis of capital, it is important to look into the mirror he holds up to the system we are in. Heilbroner recognizes the defects of socialism and communism as alternatives to the capitalist system, but he also shows that capitalism as a system is built upon domination by the political system and then exploitation by capital of those who rely upon the system for their sustenance.
Although it is a relatively short book for the subject matter it covers, it is quite dense. Heilbroner's prose at times was too cryptic for me. I don't know whether he intentionally made the work more difficult than it need be to impress, but he would have succeeded more in his purpose to persuade if he was clearer in his exposition.
What was not satisfactorily answered for me is why the appropriation of surplus value by capital is wrong. Heilbroner argues that the return to capital is really a misnomer as it is the appropriation of surplus value created by labor. But surely the capitalist in order to have an incentive to allow the use of his capital and the risk he takes when he enters the market, is entitled to a share of the surplus value of labor.
Heilbroner's book is a necessary one for all those who live in a capitalist society. It questions the assumptions upon which our capitalist system is based. For those of you who are free-market fundamentalists, this book should be a sobering experience. I think everyone, of whatever political persuasion, should read this book. After all, if the free market is as good as you think it is, what harm is there in trying to see what some socialist says about it.
And excellent book.......2000-06-23
I truly enjoyed the Nature and Logic of Capitalism. When the book ran to concrete discussions in the first half of the book, it lacked.
However, in the later discussions, notably the larger abstract discussions on the ideological aspects of capitalism, the book shined. In its carefull exposition of the problems inherant in defining and understanding the heuristic concepts of capitalism and the larger issues of addressing these large abstract concepts, the book was sublime. I have gone back to the discussion several times to re-read it and develop concurrant thoughts. I would argue an attempt to find the book simply for the chapters on ideology and conceptualisation alone. One does not have to pick up the socialist implications and oreintation of this book to understand the value it possesses otherwise.
Overall, as a general exposition on the abstract notions of capitalism, this book does very well.

Book Description
Allcorn and Diamond argue that the workplace has become ever more threatening to employees, and that they respond by creating psychological defenses that make the workplace ever more dysfunctional. To keep organizations competitive and sustain the value of their stock, management demands constant improvements in their employees' performance, but often the result is just the opposite of what management wants. Allcorn and Diamond explore this process in depth, and introduce a comprehensive and internally consistent, psychologically informed model of human development and behavior, one that explains for the first time the nature of the psychologically defensive workplace. In doing so, they challenge readers to think systematically about the psychological side of the workplace and to understand the importance of dealing effectively with employee defensiveness. The result is an authoritative study with valuable lessons and immediate benefits for corporate executives, and for scholars and researchers in organizational behavor in the academic community. Allcorn and Diamond's model is applicable to understanding five aspects of the workplace: first, how individuals respond to its stresses and anxieties; second, the psychologically defensive nature of interpersonal relationships at work; third, what the psychologically defensive group processes are; fourth, the dynamics of psychological defenses; and fifth, how the model is used to understand the connection of all organizations to the larger society in which they are imbedded. The authors' goal is to help management understand what actually is going on in today's workplace, the consequence of downsizing and other cost-reduction initiatives, and how important it is for management for relieve the problems they cause.

What lies beneath.......2001-01-18
As a first line supervisor in a police department, I am required to supervise down and accept from above. This book helps me understand why and how messages from above are received below. I've learned some of the hidden motivators for employees and supervisors alike. This should be required reading for any new supervisor. It will help him understand what is happening beneath the surface of the organization and the people.

Book Description
Mechanisms of Intracellular Trafficking and Processing of ProProteins provides an in-depth discussion of the cellular organization and current views of the molecular mechanisms underlying the trafficking, sorting, and processing of various classes of proproteins. The book covers the mechanisms of pro-protein translocation across the rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) membrane and subsequent transport to the Golgi apparatus, molecular sorting and retention signals involved in directing pro-proteins to various cellular compartments, and the specific enzymes mediating different posttranslational modification steps. It is the only book that covers the principles of intracellular trafficking and processing of proproteins using examples representative of different classes of proproteins in the cell. New classes of enzymes, especially proteases with unique specificities, are examined as well. Mechanisms of Intracellular Trafficking and Processing of ProProteins presents a wealth of information valuable to cell biologists, endocrinologists, neurobiologists, enzymologists, and biochemists. Students studying molecular endocrinology, neurobiology, and cell biology will also find the book to be a useful text.
Book Description
Written by Bill Pearl, a four-time Mr. Universe, and widely regarded as the best general book on weight training available, Getting Stronger contains specific strength training programs for 21 sports as well as general conditioning. The book includes more than 100 one-page fitness programs that can be performed by simply following the illustrations, while each lift is keyed to a section with specific instructions for that lift. The 20th anniversary edition includes new sections on nutrition, supplements, injury rehabilitation, stretching, and equipment.

Great!.......2007-08-23
I am just getting back into working out with weights as it has been about eight years. Since then, I have forgotten everything and a trainer in my gym referred this book. I love it! Every day I go through and pick out the parts of the body I am going to work out and I am able to choose new techniques I have forgotten or have never tried before. It has been a few months and I love my results. This book shows you the proper way of doing things and what I like is it tells you exactly what part of the muscle(s) you are working. I recommend it for everyone that is just starting out or that needs some new techniques.
18th century's approach to strengthening: bulking and artistic illustration, with minimal fitness........2006-12-12
In my earlier review of "Weight Training for Men and Women" by the same author, I had addressed the same issues which appear in the current book, which is nothing more than reproducing the previous book under a different title. The reason for my second review is to attempt to answer my own concerning questions. Those are:
1- What are the simplest and basic exercises needed for staying fit versus achieving tip-top athleticism?
2- What are the basic nutritional needs for staying healthy at affordable cost?
3- What are the minimum guidelines for telling the difference between good fitness virtues versus bad ones?
I believe that Bill Pearl has taken the bodybuilding approach for granted as the best way to building strength. There must be a simpler answer to reduce the number of exercises to as low as 3 of 4, and the nutritional needs to basic grocery food stuff. The complicated needs for bodybuilding stand in the way of producing an educated generation of fit citizens. From what you read in this book, the current approach to weight training is more retarded than the 18th century's approach: complex needs for formidable objectives. This approach alienates the majority of people who are looking for affordable, rational, and practical life style of staying fit and strong.
A summary for the book contents follows with reviewer's comments.
- General conditioning: it prepares beginners to joining the world of adult training for the sake of becoming bodybuilders.
- Bodybuilding: a summary of training programs for beginners, intermediate, and advanced trainees with helpful tables of sketches of exercises.
- Strength Training for Sports: an essential discussion on periodization, exercise physiology, and training habits.
- Stretches from Weight Training: a brief and appropriate list of stretching exercises.
- Sports Training Programs: full 100 pages of non-sensual and redundant programs for people who never seek help from a bodybuilding expert. The section on Powerlifting propagates the myth of isolated regional training. Thus the legs are hit hard on one day, the shoulders on another day, and the back on a different day. That is a backward approach to training that even the 18th century athletes would have never contemplated.
- Exercises for Free Weights: This is the thickest chapter in the book. It deals with exercises for isolated body parts. It starts with two anatomical charts that are made in haste. The chart of the front, misplaces the gluteus minimus and that of the back misplaces the two rhomboideus muscles. Neither chart locates the serratus anterior, levator scapulae, abdominis transversus, or the most important muscles: the spinal erectors or quadratus lumborum. Let alone the soleus and vastus intermedius.
Its major pitfalls are: the bent-to-opposite foot (page 192), wide-gripped back squat (page 284), and cross-arm front squat (page 285-7). The first exercise traumatizes the vertebral ligaments, the latter two overlook shoulder flexibility.
- Hardware: is the right place to fill 20 pages with non sense information.
- Fit for Life: deals with low back issues and children's training. Its pitfall lies in designating specific training programs for blue-collar workers and white-collar workers, as if the author could draw the specific health criteria from socioeconomic status.
-Getting Older: is a motivational chapter on training in old age. It is based on personal concern of the author. The over 50's program is merely a personal choice than a reliable recommendation.
-Muscles: is a snap shot on muscle anatomy and function with an attempt to explain the effect of exercise of muscular adaptation.
- Injuries: is a brief outline of sports injuries and the "RICE" first aid.
- Injury Rehabilitation Program: is a useless chapter that lists exercises of back, knee, and shoulders without further details on how to structure any rehab.
- Nutrition: deals with macronutrients, supplements, natural food, and vegetarian eating. It presents both the author's own experience in addition to current knowledge among bodybuilders.
- Drugs: deals with the reason for their use, its statistics, and types: steroids, growth hormone, and stimulants. It discusses two perplexing uses of human chorionic gonadotropin and tamoxifen by bodybuilders for blocking the effect of steroid on breast and testicles. [It might be more shocking to most readers to realize that nutritional health food stores in America sell on-the-self packages that contain steroids. Those cause breast swelling in male bodybuilders with inconvenient knobbing and hardening of the breast tissue. (Ref.: personal encounter is a local gym)].
- Brief History of Resistance Exercise: is the best chapter in the book. It contains rare photos and stories from the 18th century and attempts to document the history of lifting. Its best photo belongs to Arthur Saxon's one-hand press of his two brothers loaded on a bar. The hitch, in that photo, is that the loaded bar does not show a yielding curve, which raises doubt about the authenticity of the photograph.

Essentials of Weightlifting and Strength Training
Good overall guide with more exercises than most weight training books........2006-02-07
I have searched MANY books on weight training and have found this to be the most comprehensive, offering the most variety of exercises - suitable for home and gym alike. This is by far the most inclusive book I have found, and turn back to it frequently so that I can keep my work-out varied.
My main complaint is the lack of emphasis on proper form, something which I find few books do well. More photos would be helpful, but overall, a great book and my current weight training favorite - good for men and women and I believe good for beginners as well as seasoned weight trainers.
Excellent info for building a woorkout plan.......2006-01-30
We found this book to be an excellent resource for us. We were trying to develope a workout plan for us and this book has all the answers. We could find specific exercises for each body area and it helped us to blend weights with an aerobic program. Highly recommended!
I'm no athlete.......2005-12-10
I checked this book out of the Library, xeroxed the parts I liked and use the exercises to get in shape for a trip. In three months, there was a noticable difference. What I like best is there are so many charts set up in a series of routines broken down by what you want to work towards. For someone like me who knows nothing of sports or exercise, it was a big help.
Book Description
Though written primarily for students of English as a Second Language, The Ins and Outs of Prepositions is also useful in remedial English courses on high school and college freshman levels. Unlike most languages - which usually have only a few prepositions to serve many different communication needs- English has dozen of them and almost none follows any clear, consistent set of rules. This book offers practical guidelines for correct usage, and provides hundreds of examples that incorporate all of the prepositions into familiar contexts. A total of 61 prepositions are examined.
Customer Reviews:
Prepositions fully explained but...........2007-03-23
Prepositions are a boring topic.
The idea is to look at them in a systematic way.
Flat treatment of preposition meaning and usage (certain meaning are really rare).
Excellent the idea to indicate typical noun and verbs used with specific preposition patterns; but the verbs indicated are really a minimum list.
Missing a well chosen set of examples for every pattern (just a sentence for every pattern)
Excellent review of idiomatic expressions using the indicated prepositions
Ridicolous phrasal verb list.
Prepositions Clarified.......2006-02-01
So why exactly do we say "in" the car but "on" the plane? For the ESL learner, as well as the curious and uncertain native English speaker, this books simplifies a great deal of that part of speech which trips many of us up. If you "HAVE TO KNOW" the rules as to why something is used a certain way, this book does that too. If all you want to know is which preposition is correct without the history of the English language tagging along, this book scores here also. It offers sixty some-odd prepositions, arranged alphabetically, with simplified models and words grouped together that suit that preposition. The book can easily be incorporated directly into a lesson plan or modeled for students self directed use. Moderately priced, I opted for a class set just to have on hand when we start fine tuning our paragraph work.
Book Description
Billy Lane, owner of Choppers Inc., lives, eats, and breathes choppers. Since securing a secret cache of Easyriders magazines as a young boy, Billy has equated choppers with freedom. By the time he earned an engineering degree from Florida State University in Tallahassee, he had already established himself as a promising young chopper builder. An appearance on the very first episode of Discovery Channel's Monster Garage led to a starring role in Biker Build-Off and growing fame as a chopper builder with both artistic vision and technological innovation. In this autobiography, Billy shares his life story, from running with gangsters in Miami as a younger man to becoming a celebrity chopper builder who is mobbed by fans everywhere he goes. Inside stories on his most famed bikes are included, as well as Billy's thoughts on those who inspired and helped him on the road to becoming a famed chopper artist and television star. The book is full-color, giving ample room for the reader to view Billy's incredible creations, featured in stunning photography by Michael Lichter. Billy's bikes are works of art on multiple levels, combining the fine art of sculpture with the pop art of incorporating found objects into the work. But they are also technological tours de force, featuring engineering that is nothing short of astounding. But there's more to life than just choppers, according to Billy. There are women, too. There's no doubt about it - the sexy lines of an old school chopper, its curvy hips, narrow waist, and voluptuous torso, are the same lines found on a beautiful woman. In addition to stories of his great bikes, the self-professed "Ladies' Man" of chopper builders shares behind-the-scenes stories and photos of his other true love, whether they were long-time girlfriends, strippers, other colorful characters in his life, or the fans who demand his autograph on their body parts at biker shows throughout the U.S.Billy Lane is the ultimate insider's look at the lifest
Customer Reviews:
Who's this longhair?.......2005-12-12
Who's this longhair, you ask? Well, this is an alternative to Jesse James, who's currently riding the wave as being the most recognised chopper builder in the world, taking over where Arlen Ness and the rest left off. Billy Lane's autobiography is an interesting read, an insight into a guy who loves what he does, and builds interesting, artistic bikes.
The hubless rear wheel he pioneered is probably his greatest achievements, and it appears that he allowed Jesse James to use his six-gun design too. I guess behind the scenes certain ideas are shared freely between friends.
Overall a nice book to have if you're into Choppers. Nice to read and with all full colour photos on high quality paper.
...worth making space on your bookshelf for this one..........2005-10-26
The first thing that struck me about Billy Lane when I saw him on TV the first time was that he looked like a normal bloke, doing what he loved to do...party and build choppers. Billy's book confirms my initial impression.
It's a fascinating read, learning how he arrived at the place he's in today; learning about his family, friends, his business and his choppers. The style is very laid back and honest, it's not like some other biographies where you struggle to `get into' the book and find yourself just reading it to pass time. When I started reading this book, I didn't have huge expectations, but was pleasantly surprised by how well the book was structured and written. After finishing the book, you are still left with a few questions, but at the end of the day, if you're thinking about a book after you've read it then it must have been a pretty good book to read in the first place.
Aside from what's been written, the photography is also excellent, and captures all the small details of Billy's bikes that set them apart from all the other builders at the moment. I've made space for this book - which I like to get out fairly often and look at the pictures and read a chapter here and there -next to `Art of the Chopper' which is also an excellent book on a similar topic.
If you enjoy watching choppers take shape on TV and learning more about one of the more distinctive builders then this honest, well written biography is definitely worth purchasing.
Short read picture book.......2005-10-13
Kinda disapointed with this book. His views, a few short stories and alot of pics. Nothing really deep.
An honest autobiography.........2005-06-30
I do not read many autobiographies. Those I have read seemed way too polished to be true and accurate. Chop Fiction, thankfully, comes across as a sincere and honest account. I truly enjoyed reading it and looking at the photos and parking tickets.
I would recommend it to anyone just starting out or at a crossroad in life.
Billy - local happiness.......2005-05-03
Thanx for putting out the book.It was THE christmas present for my hubby ;}
It's great to ride by the "shop". Always a head jerker...Billy, at 2 am, do our Melb. cops harass y'all? I'm just really curious...
