  CORNEL WEST--DEMOCRACY MATTERS IN OUR TIME: LOGOS SUMMER 2004
The second prevailing dogma of our time is aggressive militarism, of which the new policy of preemptive strike against potential enemies is but an extension.
Meanwhile the market-driven media—fueled by our vast ideological polarization and abetted by profit-hungry monopolies—have severely narrowed our political “dialogue.” The major problem is not the vociferous shouting from one camp to the other; rather it is that many have given up even being heard.
Democracy matters are frightening in our time precisely because the three dominant dogmas of free-market fundamentalism, aggressive militarism, and escalating authoritarianism are snuffing out the democratic impulses that are so vital for the deepening and spread of democracy in the world.

 the f-word - In Our Time: Memoir of a Revolution
I had picked this book up from the local library and intended to begin it some time later, but after browsing the first few pages, I was hooked.
This book reminds us that what happened in the 1960s-70s was a real revolution for women; and we would be fools to forget it.
The book looks at the women's liberation movement from the inside, focussing on the personalities, the conflicts, the debates, the excitement, fervour and passion that had such an effect on the society we live in.

 Hemingway's In Our Time: Lyrical Dimensions. - book reviews Studies in Short Fiction - Find Articles   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Since its publication on 5 October 1925, In Our Time has been called, among other things, a "bildungsroman," a "fragmentary novel," a "short story miscellany," a "short story cycle," and a "literary hybrid" that combines something of the variety of an anthology of stories with something of the homogeneity of a novel.
Although Hemingway was painstaking in his arrangement of the 32 stories and interchapters in In Our Time, and although he himself declared on several occasions that the pieces have "a pretty good unity," some critics have found the work's structure problematic, lacking cohesiveness.
Wendolyn Tetlow, too, focuses on structure but maintains that In Our Time "is a coherent, integral work." She points out that a number of elements contribute to the work's unity - the character Nick Adams, recurring topics and themes, image patterns, symbols - but concludes that the book's structure is, at the deepest level, lyrical.

 Brad Warthen's Blog: In Our Time
WHEN OUR board discussed what to say upon the fifth anniversary of the devastating terror attacks on American soil, I had to be talked into taking the approach we did: Examining what we have done and failed to do in response, right here at home.
Our waiter came up and asked in a whisper whether we’'d mind if a gentleman who smokes were seated next to us.
We held our breaths together as though we were the ones waiting to be blasted to glory, live or die.

McGovern's book makes the complex and potentially divisive issue of global economics easy for laypeople to understand even as it offers serious analysis of the realities of our increasingly interdependent world.
Her general purpose is to rethink famine by juxtaposing famine theory and our modern, technological responses to hunger.
Unfortunately, the result is a digressive book of little practical political use to those able to respond tangibly to famine.

 Marxism in Our Time
The commodity has become such an all-pervasive, customary and familiar part of our daily existence that we, lulled to sleep, do not even attempt to consider why men relinquish important objects, needed to sustain life, in exchange for tiny discs of gold or silver that are of no earthly use whatever.
Nevertheless the basic error of classical economics was its view of capitalism as humanity's normal existence for all time instead of merely as one historical stage in the development of society.
The life of monopolistic capitalism in our time is a chain of crises.

 TIME.com: The Book Behind the Bombshell -- Jan. 9, 2006 -- Page 1
The Times ran the article on Dec. 16, touching off a blogospheric scrum: conservatives accuse the Times of aiding terrorists by revealing secrets of U.S. spycraft while liberals say the paper caved to White House pressure by not dropping the bombshell sooner.
At the center of the article's backstory is Risen, who unsuccessfully pushed to publish the wiretap report last year, then took a leave to write a book, State of War: The Secret History of the CIA and the Bush Administration.
But the book also argues that the NSA's eavesdropping policy shows the extent to which the war on terrorism has spurred the intelligence community to flout legal conventions at home and abroad.

 Tampabay: Schiavo book offers plots, few answers
The book did not appear to generate much initial excitement in several Tampa Bay area bookstores, despite prominent displays.
Schiavo's brother, Brian, told the St. Petersburg Times that no one in the family plans to read the book, which he described as the continuation of a smear campaign.
Deabreu said the family had already spent its limit on books that day, but she planned to buy Fuhrman's book on a future visit.

 In Our Time: Critical Reception   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Published October 5, 1925 by Boni and Liveright, In Our Time is a combination of short stories previously published in Three Stories and Ten Poems (1923), sketches previously published in in our time (1924) and new material.
Times Book Review praises it for its “precision and economy,” noting that Hemingway “packs a whole character in a phrase, an entire situation in a phrase or two"(10/18/25).
Repeatedly to Hemingway's dismay, In Our Time is compared to Sherwood Anderson's work, especially between "My Old Man" and Anderson's earlier "I Want to Know Why." Meant to be complimentary, five of the eleven reviews acknowledge some indebtedness to Anderson.

 Is the book of Revelation going to be fulfilled in our time?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
The highly figurative language of this book has caused many to believe that its contents are largely unintelligible, and for that reason it has often been abandoned by the readers in general.
Others who read this book do not keep in mind for whom the book was actually written and under what circumstances the signified message was delivered.
From the very first page of the book one can clearly see that the message was directed to the seven churches in Asia Minor, where Christians were being killed, exiled, and robbed of all their properties for refusal to renounce their religion.

 Melvin Powers Wilshire Book Company – Prophecy in Our Time
The subject of this book, prophecy in our time, is part of an area of long-standing interest to author Martin Ebon: the psychology of public affairs.
On the other hand, the author has refrained from detailing treatment of current debates on the philosophy and psychology of time, mathematical-statistical theories of probability, and the deeper psychodynamics of individual prophetic experiences; these subjects demand special interest on the part of the reader.
