| Harvard
professor Wechsler,
with the help of
writer Wuethrich,
makes the results of
his survey of campus
binge drinking
accessible to parents
and their
college-bound
students. What an
eye-opener! The
problem, he reports,
is widespread, with an
alcohol
"culture" on
many campuses
(including at some of
the most select
schools in the
country) fueling
underage drinking.
Devastating anecdotal
accounts of tragedy
associated with
bingeing--among them a
number of national
headline-making
stories--are... |

the tactics used by

contributions, public

editorial review
— This is the
exciting and
highly literate
story of the
real Lawrence of
Arabia, as
written by
Lawrence
himself, who
helped unify
Arab factions
against the
occupying
Turkish army,
circa World War
I. Lawrence has
a novelist's eye
for detail,
a |
|
| poet's
command of the language,
an adventurer's heart, a
soldier's great story,
and his memory and
intellect are at least
as good as all those.
Lawrence describes the
famous guerrilla raids,
and train bombings you
know from the movie, but
also tells of the Arab
people and politics with
great penetration.
Moreover, he is witty,
always aware of the
ethical tightrope that
the English walked in
the Middle East and
always willing to
include himself in his
own withering insight. |

A
reviewer, August 15, 1999
Great case studies; you go
Minnesota!
Book opens with a Zoo, and I was
hooked. I read the book voluntarily
for a nonprofit management class,
and I truly enjoyed it (which
I cannot say for the big ol' Jossey-Bass
Handbook and others I was forced
to read). |
