  ABFFE: An Interview with Richard Rhodes
RHODES: The supposed analogy between smoking/cancer and media violence/violence was invented, so far as I can tell, by Rowell Huesmann, a professor of psychology at the University of Michigan and the most prominent current exponent of the media violence theory.
RHODES: Athens's identification of violent socialization as the cause of violent criminality--using a research methodology that does locate causes and effects--makes it possible to prevent or interdict violent development.
Socialization toward violent criminality begins with brutalization, usually in childhood (meaning someone violently dominates a child, the child sees loved ones violently dominated, and the child is coached that he or she has a personal responbility to use violence to settle disputes).

 'James Audubon: The Making of an American' by Richard Rhodes   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Richard Rhodes, winner of the 1988 Pulitzer Prize for "The Making of the Atomic Bomb," has trumped his previous publishing successes with this thoroughly documented and well-written biography of the 19th-century naturalist, artist and self-taught ornithologist.
There is very little that Rhodes has missed in presenting the sometimes unbelievable struggles, long absences and hardships that Audubon and his long-suffering wife and their two sons endured in what became a family effort to publish his remarkable paintings.
Rhodes' goal is to flesh out the details of John and Lucy Audubon's lives and struggles in the early 19th century, both on the American frontier and then among the wealthy and academic elites of Liverpool, Glasgow and London, as they both pursued their dream of publishing his life-size paintings.

 John James Audubon by Richard Rhodes: Reviews
From the Pulitzer Prize—winning historian Richard Rhodes, the first major biography of John James Audubon in forty years, and the first to illuminate fully the private and family life of the master illustrator of the natural world.
Rhodes' sentences are, to coin a term, Mississippian, flowing with an unhurried and irresistible majesty toward their goal.
Rhodes occasionally lingers too long on his subject's publishing difficulties (a pet peeve of many authors), but he conveys both the singular glories of the early American wilderness -- sycamore tree crowded with nine thousand swallows -- and the solitary desperation of Audubon's labors.

 Borzoi Reader | Catalog | Masters of Death by Richard Rhodes
Rhodes documents the organizing and carrying out of this program and introduces the professional men--economists, architects, lawyers--who were the program’s commanders and officers, as well as the "ordinary men" who did most of the actual killing.
By then, Rhodes shows, the face-to-face killing of hundreds of thousands had so brutalized the SS that even Himmler was shocked into ordering the development of a less "personal" means of murder--the notorious gas chambers and crematoria of the Holocaust’s second wave.
Rhodes shows, further, that Hitler and Himmler intended the Jews to be only their first victims; their plan was to open up Russia to German colonization by destroying more than 30 million Slavs and members of other ethnic groups.
