In-Vitro Fertilization Review

This is a very densely written work that is very well organized. The book is also nicely referenced, and very up to date. I bought the Kindle version of the book and it is very readable even though it is rather technical. I would prefer that the Kindle version be broken into chapters that you can click to. That would make it easier to access individual chapters easier. Also, even though the different types of protocols for ovarian stimulation are provided, there is little suggests as to how one might tweak these cycles in order to help sub fertile women conceive.

All in all, a very good book for those interested in some of the latest work in human early embryology and in vitro fertilization.

Product Description

Vietnam has experienced huge political and economic development since the war. In Anatomy of a Peace, Gabriel Kolko looks at the main economic phases the Communist Party has embarked upon since 1986 and outlines the transition to nascent capitalism. He also explores Vietnam's relations to its neighbours and the US in the light of social and psychological national features.
Based on extensive research and over 30 years first hand experience, Anatomy of a Peace is a timely examination of recent history and developing economies in Asia. Gabriel Kolko argues that neither an intentional socialist or market strategy have determined recent Vietnamese history and, in fact, the Communist Party has little control over development during peace time.

Vietnam: Anatomy of a Peace Review

Kolko reminds us that the Vietnamese were fighting _for_ something, not just against the U.S. in their tragic and destructive war. While the goal of _de jure_ independence was achieved, the dream of a just society languished. Kolko illustrates how this goal was destroyed by Communist authoritarianism, a costly war against Pol Pot, Western (and IMF) pressures, and the greed for power and money of Vietnam's new elite. In Vietnam's uncertain future, Kolko argues, only democracy and a renewed commitment to establishing social justice can win back the peace.The book concludes with a deeply moving epilogue on the necessity and risks of resisting injustice, that everyone alive should read.

Reason and Morality (ASA Monographs) Review

Gewirth argues carefully and cogently for the existence of a "supreme principle of morality" that he labels the Principle of Generic Consistency (PGC). Like Kant's categorical imperative, the PGC supports a universalist morality; yet unlike Kant's principle, it has a certain degree of content. What makes _Reason and Morality_ such an impressive work is its extraordinarily conscientious and rigorous argumentation. Indeed, Gewirth attempts to respond to almost every conceivable objection that anyone could possibly offer against his theory; and just when you think no more objections could possibly be lobbed at it, he answers six or seven more! (Anyone who's read it will know I'm not exaggerating.) While a little heavy going at times, _R&M_ is also in its own odd way an inspiring work, providing an example of analytic moral philosophy at its best.

Product Description

Emily Greene Balch was an important Progressive Era reformer and advocate for world peace whose opposition to World War I resulted with the board of trustees at Wellesley College refusing to renew her contract as a professor of economics and sociology. Afterwards, Balch cofounded the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom (WILPF). For her advocacy efforts in preventing and reconciling conflicts, Balch was awarded a Nobel Peace Prize in 1946._x000B__x000B_In tracing Balch's work at Wellesley, for the WILPF, and for other peace movements, Kristen E. Gwinn draws on a rich collection of primary sources such as letters, lectures, a draft of Balch's autobiography, and proceedings of the WILPF and other organizations in which Balch held leadership roles. Gwinn illuminates Balch's ideas on negotiated peace, internationalism, global citizenship, and diversity while providing pointed insight into her multifaceted career, philosophy, and temperament. Detailing Balch's academic research on Slavic immigration and her arguments for greater cultural and monetary cohesion in Europe, Gwinn shows how Balch's scholarship and teaching reflected her philosophical development._x000B__x000B_This first scholarly biography of Balch helps contextualize her activism while taking into consideration changes in American attitudes toward war and female intellectuals in the early twentieth century.

Emily Greene Balch: The Long Road to Internationalism Review

An amazing story. Kristen Gwinn does a terrific job of recounting Balch's remarkable accomplishments in a world that did not welcome women as intellectuals or as activist pacifists. Watching Balch refusing to be silent when faced by the unspeakable violence of the first half of the twentieth century should give courage to us today.
