Book Description
Wireless Imagination addresses perhaps the most conspicuous silence in contemporary theory and art criticism, the silence that surrounds the polyphonous histories of audio art. Composed of both original essays and several newly translated documents, this book provides a close audition to some of the most telling and soundful moments in the "deaf century," conceived and performed by such artists as Raymond Roussel, Antonin Artaud, Marcel Duchamp, Andre Breton, John Cage, Hugo Ball, Kurt Weill, and William Burroughs.
Book Description
The Washington Post praised Mako Yoshikawa’s extraordinary first novel,
One Hundred and One Ways, as “strikingly assured.” The Orlando Sentinel called it “an impressive accomplishment.” In
Once Removed, Yoshikawa continues in the tradition of Alice Walker and Amy Tan with a powerful story of two women from different cultures who form a deep friendship that, though severely tested, can never be broken.
It has been many long years since Claudia last saw her Japanese-American stepsister. Once upon a time, Claudia’s Jewish father fell in love with Rei’s Japanese mother and abandoned his family to be with her. Though Claudia resented this new family her father so readily embraced, from the moment she and Rei met, the two girls formed a bond not even their parents understood. Their long-standing joke is that they are mirror reflections of each other--though in truth they are striking opposites. Claudia is blond and large-boned; Rei is dark-haired and thin, with distinct Asian features.
Now in their early thirties, Claudia and Rei have found a way back into each other’s troubled life. As impulsively affectionate as ever, Rei has come to Boston to recuperate from a potentially life-threatening illness, while the typically cautious Claudia has found herself replicating the behavior of her step-mother by falling in love with a married man. As they come together, the two women realize they must strike a balance between the friendship they long to recover and the secrets they have learned to keep. And they discover that despite the distance that has grown between them, their bond is as strong as ever--and could help them repair the other wounded relationships in their lives.
Lyrical, evocative, and richly imagined,
Once Removed is an exceptional tale of two families, two cultures, and the connection between two women that survives the betrayals of those around them. Taking us from the exotic Japan of the 1940s and ’50s, to the verdant English countryside, to the urban streets of Boston, Mako Yoshikawa is a gifted storyteller who has firmly established her place in contemporary fiction.

I am now a bigger fan!.......2004-07-29
I am a big fan of Mako's first book. Her second installment is as equally powerful and moving. Just like One Hundred and One Ways, the characters in this book are strong and the plot line is intruiging--I could not put the book down once I started reading it. One of the best things about Once Removed is the main Asian male character. You don't find a lot of romantic, leading men who are Asian in mainstream American media--right on Mako!!!

The "first cousin" of this compelling, disconcertingly funny memoir is Robert Lowell--scion of two old New England families (the Winslows, his mother's side, go back even further than the Lowells), widely considered America's greatest poet during the 1960s, anti-Vietnam war activist, and incurable manic depressive. Lowell has been biographied before, notably by Ian Hamilton and Paul Mariani, but no other "life study" contains a particle of the intimacy, fondness, dismay, and above all humor that Sarah Payne Stuart brings to the subject. Stuart places "Bobby" in a loose-knit Winslow family tapestry, and reveals the back of the tapestry: the droll stories about Lowell's icy, chic mother and eccentric, rich Aunt Sarah, who disinherited him when he fathered a child out of wedlock; the excruciating holidays and bizarre Brahmin rituals; the family's mix of provincial pride and bruising disdain for their famous relation, "the king of conflicts."
As fresh and smart as the Lowell material is, the book really catches fire when Stuart tells her own immediate family's story: the two-year breakdown her beautiful mother suffered after giving birth to a daughter; the manic depression that nearly destroyed her brilliant brother, Johnny; the bad luck, blindness, and sheer selfishness that kept her branch perpetually strapped. Stuart has a satirist's eye, a standup comic's sense of timing, and fabulous material. And in My First Cousin Once Removed she makes the most of all of them. --David Laskin
Book Description
The art of being truly funny is an undervalued one in these angst-ridden times, but it is an ability that acclaimed novelist Sarah Payne Stuart has in abundance. Her talents have never been on more glorious display than in My First Cousin Once Removed, a memoir--at once hilarious, personal and sad--of her extraordinary Boston Brahmin family, whose most famous member is the legendary poet Robert Lowell, the author's first cousin (once removed).
Customer Reviews:
Never quite satisfying.......2007-06-14
I took this book up as a lover of biography rather than of poetry; I'll have to take the other reviewer's word for it that it isn't satisfying to poetry lovers, but it certainly didn't satisfy me. In some ways Stuart is a clumsy, or at least not fluid, writer. More to the point, I felt a little misled, as the book is only nominally about Robert Lowell, and the rest of the family, while interesting Victorian characters, don't merit a book's exploration.
Stale and small.......2001-04-05
This is not a book for anyone interested in Robert Lowell or his poetry. This is a maudlin account of one woman's inability to recognize or empathize with the inner life of her famous relative, and her valiant attempts to profit by her own shortcomings. In short, mere gossip. Eileen Simpson's "poets in Their Youth" is much more interesting, and Richard Tillinghast's "Robert Lowell's Life and Work" is far more insightful, for those who care about Lowell's poetry. But as for those who don't care about Lowell's poetry, well, all I can say is, why bother to read a book by someone whose only claim on your attention is that she's Lowell's distant cousin?
Fascinating Memoir on Many Levels.......1999-11-22
With fresh black humor and a no nonsense style, Sarah Payne Stuart has written a book of family suffering that gives a vivid understanding of the terrors and fall out of mental illness. She also describes with deft strokes what monsters people are, who lack imagination, and arrange to be insulated from pain by self-regard and a great deal of money.
Made me chuckle and cry.......1999-11-17
Perhaps the most entertaining book that I have ever read. Sarah Payne Stuart makes me howl and a second later makes me thank God that I've got both oars in the water. God Bless You SPS.
BOSTON REDUX.......1999-10-26
Reading "My Cousin Once Removed" was like going home. Do other people besides my family name their cottages after their children? Ours was Tomberher, and it still embarrasses me to say it.
I perceived backbone and stoicism in the author. She will become a fine, undomnible Boston matron herself someday. These are people that know how to Pull-Up-Your-Socks. No one ever seems to give up. I amend that, the family will not *allow* anyone to give up. Poor Robert Lowell. His poetry must have kept him alive such as it was. The author makes an excellent point when she expresses amazement that he "lasted until he was 60." He seemed so gentle to be so mad. I couldn't resist smiling when I noted that only the Lowells would unfailingly be "God" in their deluded or "manic" states; other manic depressives might be Sam Spade, Peter Pan, or Theodore Roosevelt; but the Lowells went for the whole enchillada. My only complaint is the author neatly sidesteps giving the reader anything but broad outlines of what she was up to when the maelstorm whirled about her. Most younger writers cannot get out of the way; you are buried under their angst, but Ms. Stuart quotes her brothers to give us an idea what is going on in her generation. She's oddly elusive. I think she uses her fine sense of humor to deflect us from coming to close.
I'm going back to reread Robert Lowell. That's my idea of a successful book, one that sends you on a quest for further knowledge.
Book Description
In the winter of 1956, Phillip Hoose was a gawky, uncoordinated 9-year-old boy just moved to a new town—Speedway, Indiana—and trying to fit into a new school and circle of friends. Baseball was his passion, even though he was terrible at it and constantly shamed by his lack of ability. But he had one thing going for him that his classmates could never have—his second cousin was a pitcher for the New York Yankees. Don Larsen wasn’t a star, but he was in the Yankees’ rotation. And on October 8, 1956, he pitched perhaps the greatest game that has ever been pitched: a perfect game (27 batters up, 27 out) against the Brooklyn Dodgers in the World Series. It forever changed Phil’s life. Perfect, Once Removed, recalls with pitch-perfect clarity the angst and jubilation of Phil Hoose’s 9th year. To be published on the 50th anniversary of The Perfect Game, it will be one of the best baseball books of 2006.

Step into the Time Tunnel and return to a simpler place and time. .......2007-06-11
If you are a guy or gal who was born before 1950 and enjoy the game of baseball then Phillip Hoose's "Perfect, Once Removed" should be right up your alley. Author Phil Hoose had just moved to Speedway, Indiana with his mom and dad in late 1955. He was eight years old and having an awfully hard time adjusting to his new school and making friends. To make matters worse, no one had ever taught young Phil how to play baseball. He had never swung a bat or even had an opportunity to play catch! Kids being kids, they jumped all over Phil in gym class and at the playground after school. Phil was completely miserable until one day his mom casually mentioned that his dad's cousin pitched for the New York Yankees. And so Phil Hoose took it upon himself to write to his dad's cousin Don Larsen and ask for some advice. A short time later Phil received a postcard from Don Larsen that would literally change his life forever.
It is always wonderful to read a story like the one portrayed in "Perfect, Once Removed". Sometimes we never realize how such a simple act of kindness can impact someone so much. But Don Larsen not only sent that postcard but he also arranged for Phil and his parents to attend a Yankees--White Sox game at Commiskey Park. While in Chicago Phil had an opportunity to meet several of the Yankee players at the hotel where they were staying. It was an experience that would make him a baseball addict for life. It turns out that as usual the New York Yankees under legendary manager Casey Stengel would win the 1956 American League pennant. This time their opponents in the World Series would be their crosstown rivals the Brooklyn Dodgers. And in Game Five on a Monday afternoon in October Don Larsen would make World Series history! Due to the heroics of his cousin, once removed, Phil Hoose was suddenly the BMOC (big man on campus) at school. Quite a turnaround in just 6 or 7 months!
If I had to pick one adjective to describe "Perfect, Once Removed" it would have to be "charming". That may sound odd for a book about sports but I think the term fits here perfectly. For this book is so much more than a book about a perfect game. It is also a real period piece. For those old enough to recall those days it will bring back a flood of fond memories. I found "Perfect, Once Removed" to be a great change of pace from the much more serious fare that I ordinarily read. A great book to read while lounging at the beach or relaxing by the pool. This is an extremely well written and thoroughly enjoyable book that is am very pleased to recommend.
Five Stars!.......2007-05-22
Anyone who grew up loving baseball needs to read this book. It perfectly captures the romance of the game from the perspective of a 9-year-old, back when 9-year-olds lived and breathed baseball. Five stars!
a whiff of nostalgia.......2007-03-11
Served well by its brevity and the honesty of its recollections, Hoose's memoir is a perfect accompaniment as you follow your team through another spring training, because it's not so much about the team or the players as it is about your own hopes.
A Delighful Baseball Memoir, A Fantastic Personal Story.......2007-02-18
With ease and skill, Phillip Hoose recalls his childhood days when baseball ruled his world, consuming his thoughts during the school day, and consuming his play time at night. Hoose chronicles his childhood, from his family's move to the center of the racing world, Speedway, Indiana to his discovery of the great game of baseball, to his relationship with distant cousin Don Larsen, a Yankee great.
The book is an exceptional tale of baseball, and the effect it truly has on so many of our nation's youth. From his intense, yet usually fruitless baseball practice sessions to his late night attempts at finding a signal for a baseball game, Hoose adds a personal touch to the greatest game in the world. His personal touch, then, is what makes this book so special. In an age where baseball is struggling to keep a clean image, amidst steroid use and huge salary contracts, Hoose takes the reader back to the magic of the game. Hoose accomplishes what all good books should do, he transports us into another time, and another place: our youth, and our neighborhood. He reminds us, the kid in us, the joy it felt to first pick up a ball and bat, and the disappointment we felt when we lost our neighborhood pick-up game.
A refreshing and inspirational tale, Hoose's book should not be missed by even the casual baseball fan. Hoose's writing establishes a deep connection between baseball and life, and lessons which each can learn from the other. His tale is one of up's and downs, triumphs and heartaches. Through it all, however, Hoose maintains a sense of hope for life and a sense of love for the game. This hope is what propelled so many of our own baseball dreams, and it is what helps make Hoose's book a truly wonderful read.
A Trip Down Memory Lane.......2007-01-15
A great book really hitting the emotions of one's childhood growing up around baseball. A wonderfully written book and a very easy read. It is so much more than just the history of baseball's greatest pitched game. A very special book!

Book Description
You may have heard about the organization that employed people named Everybody, Somebody, Anybody and Nobody.
There was an important job to do and Everybody was sure that Somebody would do it. Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did. Somebody got angry about that because it was Everybody's job. Everybody thought Anybody could do it but Nobody realized that Everybody would not do it. It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have done.
This book is not about that organization. Instead, it's about building or working in an organization where Everybody can succeed because Everybody has clear accountabilities, a manager who adds value, and the resources to do the job - an accountability-based organization.

No Value In This Shameful Glossary.......2006-02-04
A Is For Accountability: A Guide to Accountability-Based Management, is an attempt by the writer Burns to communicate some of Elliott Jaques concepts pertaining to his system of effective managerial organization and leadership, which he called `The Requisite Organization'. The writer has chosen to call it `accountability-based management'.
Unfortunately, the book is a minimalist glossary of borrowed ideas and concepts. No thought or intellectual effort was given to presenting a coherent theory or structured advice that might actually serve as a "guide" to anything. Instead, a few of the foundational concepts of Jaques' Requisite Organization theory are chopped up into fragments and reassembled in alphabetical order (A is for Accountability, B is for Boundaries, C is for Capability, etc.). No effort is made by the writer to present an overview or summary of the theory of `Accountability-Based Management' or 'Requisite Organization', not even what it is and why it is important.
Shamefully, there is an almost complete lack of acknowledgment that the source of the core content of this glossary is the intellectual work of Elliott Jaques. There is one reference to Jaques in the preface acknowledging him "for the foundational work on requisite organization," and one other minor reference to his book Requisite Organization on P. 48 pertaining to the fact that he did research related to the principle of level of work complexity (L is for level of work complexity).
In reality almost every concept in the book was lifted directly from Jaques' corpus, yet the sources from which the core content is derived are not revealed. There is no bibliography of Jaques' dozen or so books or reference to his two articles in Harvard Business Review should a reader wish to learn more. But the writer does feel that it is important to take the time and space to let us know her online source for dictionary definitions and space-filler quotations.
By willfully failing to acknowledge that Jaques is the source of almost all of the intellectual content of the book, it unfortunately appears that the writer is trying to hide this fact from her readers, and thereby immorally and deceptively trying to present the concepts contained therein as her own. The advice provided is not really her advice, but that of Jaques presented second-hand.
It is also curious to me that the writer provides 40 quotations from authors such as Drucker and Covey that loosely pertain to the topics presented, yet not one from Jaques. She footnotes James B. Thompson for a definition of "three degrees of interdependence" yet she fails to acknowledge Elliott Jaques as the thinker who defined and developed key concepts she presents, such as: future potential capability, managerial accountability, employee-once-removed, felt-fair pay, QQTR, SoR/EoR, IPC/CMP, service-getting and -giving, time span of level of work, information processing capability/complexity of mental processing, three-tier units/mutual recognition units, etc. One has to wonder if she fears that her audience may discover that he had something important to say about the topics she is writing about!
What would have been more useful would have been pertinent quotes from Jaques on each topic she presents, but that likely would have exposed too much. It really does seem as though she is trying to hide his existence from her audience rather than celebrating his original thinking and contribution to organizational theory.
To this extent, the book does an immense injustice to one of history's geniuses of management science, and a man the I assume the writer must surely admire, by failing to give him proper credit for the intellectual content that her book contains.
If you are contemplating buying this book should also know that it contains almost as many "empty" pages (46) as it has pages with content (58, excluding a few with large and superfluous cartoon illustrations).
In my opinion, this book is of no value to anyone who is already familiar with Jaques' body of work (in fact, the intellectual disrespect shown is highly insulting), and no value to anyone who isn't. If the topic of `accountability-based management' interests you, I would recommend you read Executive Leadership by Elliott Jaques and Stephen D. Clement for a thorough, coherent, and original presentation of how to achieve accountable, value-adding, managerial leadership in organizations.
Book Description
A lyrical and photographic account of the Neil Finn experience.
Customer Reviews:
Nice for Finn fans, but not coffee table quality........2004-07-16
Neil Finn, formerly of Split Enz and Crowded House, shows some real writing talent with his very personal, and at times incisive, commentary on his first post-Crowded House solo tour to promote the superb `Try Whistling This'. His prose offers glimpses into the rigors of such a tour, as well as revealing the effect on his personal and family life. He offers insightful comments on the demands of and skills required to navigate through the business and logistical maze of pulling a tour off. Finn notes, for example, that in trying to remember all of the event details and people he encounters good "short-term memory" is needed, adding parenthetically (and with some humor) "marijuana is not recommended." I read Finn's words in one sitting, and was transported to his world, however briefly.
As pointed out by at least one other reviewer, however, there is a weakness with this book. It is essentially a pictorial, embellished by Finn's writing. Given this, the photography is obviously crucial. Regrettably, the photographs just don't rise to the occasion. While it is true that there are a few really good shots (my favorite being a shot of Neil and his drummer playing chess next to a window, with the vast expanse of the Western states streaking by), there are even more lame shots. With all due respect to photographer and Finn family friend Mark Smith, many of those buying this book could probably do as good (or better) a job than is evident here. Two full, open-leaf pages of airplane contrail? A squashed bug on a windshield? Close-up shots of orange traffic safety cones? Maybe you had to have been there. In any event, I give the book 4 stars for Neil Finn's writing, 2 stars for the photography, hence the composite of 3 stars.
Fine for Finn fans, fails as fotography.......2003-07-27
The real reason for owning this book is Neil's essay on touring in support of his first solo album, "Try Whistling This." His prose is sincere and thoughtful, at times poetic and heartfelt, as when he reflects on the departure of Paul Hester from Crowded House, or the pride in having his son, Liam, on stage with him. Smith's photography is a disappointing accompaniment, and part of that may have been the restrictions Finn placed on him, "(Neil's) hesitancy in front of the lens was hard to swallow, although I understood and respected his...desire for privacy."
Of the 134 images featured in this book, only 30 feature Neil. Many of these resemble nothing more than bad fan photos: poorly composed, badly lit and frequently out of focus. There are a handful of standout images however. A two-page colour spread of Neil performing "Sinner" at the Manchester Apollo could easily have been used for the cover of a CD single. Another shot of a fireworks store in Shelton, West Virginia reminds one of William Eggleston. But for each gem, there are half a dozen shots that leave you scratching your head. Why, for instance, was it necessary to include a picture of a toilet seat cover dispenser from a restroom in Utah, upon which a previous occupant had written a racial slur against Mexicans?
For hardcore Finn fans, it's a no-brainer whether or not you'll want "Once Removed." Unfortunately, the book's title may well hold the answer to how often you remove it from your bookshelf following your initial read.
Try Reading This.......2002-06-09
Without a doubt, Neil Finn is one of the most talented, and under-appreciated songwriters of our time. If you are already a Finn Fan, this book will serve as a tool to give you more insight into the man, his life, and his music. If you're not a fan already, Neil's words, along with Mark Smith's beautiful photographs, may very well make you want to hear the music.
Want to know Neil?.......2002-05-31
If you like to get into the heads of your favorite muscians, and Neil Finn is one of them - then you need this book. The pictures are great, but the commentary from Neil is what makes it worth it. When you read it you can hear Neil saying these things. There are great little stories about his family and tour life during the "Try Whistling This" tour. You just get to know Neil and his family a little bit more. It's nice to see that he is a real person. This is a must for any Neil Finn fan.
i was removed.......2002-04-09
This is an awesome collaboration from both photograher & author.
Honest and breathing of the emotions that Neil Finn and his family have experienced with their touring entourage as they travelled, Neil's text flows like one reflective ballad.
The photography is stunning and takes you there. This is a truly moving and rich insight into the World Tour of a most genius songwriters of our time.
Book Description
Imprisonment casts a long shadow in the United States. Currently, 1.4 million individuals are behind bars in America's state and federal prisons. For every person who goes to prison, there is a family and community left behind. Despite the huge number of affected families and children, there is little research on the impact of incarceration on American family life. In Prisoners Once Removed, the authors explore this important issue—from the psychological impact of imprisonment on prisoners and the difficulty of reentering free society to the challenges faced by communities who must integrate the prisoners once they return. They look at family functioning during a period of imprisonment, and how families are affected by the return of an incarcerated parent. Finally, they evaluate the current system and suggest ways to improve interaction between the corrections and health and human services to better serve the growing population of children, families, and communities. This book is vital reading for anyone who is concerned about foster care, child development, strengthening families, and post-prison adjustment.
Customer Reviews:
The best research resource on the subject........2005-04-10
I am planning a doctoral research on the family experiences of long-term incarceration and this book has given me a thorough and timely review of the key studies and issues (in American context), and also pointed out knowledge gaps for further research. I look forward to reading other publications with a more international or cross-cultural perspective. A "must-read" for those seriously concerned with prisoners and their families.
