Taylor, John
Circus of Ambition: The Culture of Wealth and Power in the Eighties Boston, Massachusetts, U.S.A. Warner Books Inc 1989 0446514845 / 9780446514842 1st Edition Hardcover Very Good Very Good
Arguing that our growing conservatism in things political goes hand in hand with American society's increasing interest in wealth, appetite for conspicuous consumption and yearning for power, Taylor ( Storming the Magic Kingdom ) offers an entertaining if controversial analysis of the causes of these allied developments and their impact on all aspects of life. Our ``money culture,'' he contends, was sanctioned by religious leaders such as Jerry Falwell--and by bluestocking charities and institutions like New York City's Metropolitan Museum of Art, avid for new money. With sly humor, the author explains how this ``culture'' has anointed stars in the worlds of art, fashion, entertainment, sports, etc., based largely on the fees they command, their snob appeal and their potential as investment opportunities. Crediting inflation and market deregulation for spawning a new breed of ruthless investment bankers, corporate raiders and developers, Taylor maintains that despite the 1987 stock market ``crash,'' our current crippling deficit, economic and social polarization, the money culture's yen for quick profits continues unabated. 076252

Taylor, A.J.P.
From the Boer War to the Cold War: Essays on Twentieth-Century Europe E Rutherford, New Jersey, U.S.A. Penguin Group USA 1997 0140230874 / 9780140230871 Soft Cover Very Good
A companion to Taylor's essays on nineteenth-century Europe (From Napoleon to the Second International ), this volume gathers the brilliant British historian's book reviews and essays about this century's wars and political personalities. So many books have been written on such matters that it seems unprofitable to go back to old reviews, but Taylor's style dispels the fear. He was so steeped in the subjects that rarely did he feel obliged to simplify what the author was saying; he forged ahead with his own opinions, curtly and challengingly expressed, confident that his newspaper's readers wanted to hear them and secondarily those of the author to which he was responding. Generally, his opinions still stand up across the 75 subjects he addresses; a characteristic exposition is "War by Time-Table," a dissection of the assassination and foolish brinkmanship that ignited World War I. Taylor's gloomy, Tacitean approach to history favored human accident over "inevitability," which made him an incisive, entertaining commentator on politicians' foibles. 080850

Taylor, Jill Bolte
My Stroke of Insight: a Brain Scientist's Personal Journey New York, New York, U.S.A. Viking Pr 2008 0670020745 / 9780670020744 Hardcover Very Good Very Good Book
Jill Bolte Taylor was a 37-year-old Harvard-trained and published brain scientist when a blood vessel exploded in her brain. Through the eyes of a curious neuroanatomist, she watched her mind completely deteriorate whereby she could not walk, talk, read, write, or recall any of her life. Because of her understanding of how the brain works, her respect for the cells composing her human form, and an amazing mother, Jill completely recovered her mind, brain and body. In My Stroke of Insight: A Brain Scientist's Personal Journey, Jill shares with us her recommendations for recovery and the insight she gained into the unique functions of the right and left halves of her brain. Having lost the categorizing, organizing, describing, judging and critically analyzing skills of her left brain, along with its language centers and thus ego center, Jill's consciousness shifted away from normal reality. In the absence of her left brain's neural circuitry, her consciousness shifted into present moment thinking whereby she experienced herself at one with the universe. 073846
