Book Description
Mama Might Be Better Off Dead is an unsettling, profound look at the human face of health care. Both disturbing and illuminating, it immerses readers in the lives of four generations of a poor, African-American family beset with the devastating illnesses that are all too common in America's inner-cities.
The story takes place in North Lawndale, a neighborhood that lies in the shadows of Chicago's Loop. Although surrounded by some of the city's finest medical facilities, North Lawndale is one of the sickest, most medically underserved communities in the country. Headed by Jackie Banes, who oversees the care of a diabetic grandmother, a husband on kidney dialysis, an ailing father, and three children, the Banes family contends with countless medical crises. From visits to emergency rooms and dialysis units, to trials with home care, to struggles for Medicaid eligibility, Abraham chronicles their access (or lack of access) to medical care.
Told sympathetically but without sentimentality, their story reveals an inadequate health care system that is further undermined by the direct and indirect effects of poverty. When people are poor, they become sick easily. When people are sick, their families quickly become poorer.
Embedded in the family narrative is a lucid analysis of the gaps, inconsistencies, and inequalities the poor face when they seek health care. This book reveals what health care policies crafted in Washington, D. C. or state capitals look like when they hit the street. It shows how Medicaid and Medicare work and don't work, the Catch-22s of hospital financing in the inner city, the racial politics of organ transplants, the failure of childhood immunization programs, the vexed issues of individual responsibility and institutional paternalism. One observer puts it this way: "Show me the poor woman who finds a way to get everything she's entitled to in the system, and I'll show you a woman who could run General Motors."
Abraham deftly weaves these themes together to make a persuasive case for health care reform while unflinchingly presenting the complexities that will make true reform as difficult as it is necessary. Mama Might Be Better Off Dead is a book with the power to change the way health care is understood in America. For those seeking to learn what our current system of health care promises and what it delivers, it offers a place for the debate to begin.

Puleese!!!!!!.......2007-09-04
This left wing, socalist bent author wants to shame the government for not providing cradle to grave management of people's lives; maybe if the author focused on this nation's irresponsible people, who go through life thinking you can abuse your body then get Washington to pay your medical and nursing home bills..... sick book, sick thinking,
If your poor and sick, you may as weel be deead.......2007-09-04
I was required to read this book for a Social Problems Analysis class. Before, I had never thought about the major problems with our health system. Unlike a reviwer before me, I don't see her as being biased. If you have ever lived in a poor urban neighborhood, then you would know, Abraham is correct. People who live in poverty, often have no access to better health care, so they take what they can get. It is easy to say these people should take responsible for their health care if you have never been in this situation. Abraham did a wonderful job staying objective, even at times, when I don't know if I could have. I would reccomend this book to anyone who has questions about how the medical system works in poor areas.
Great book.......2006-11-06
If you're interested in health care in America, Medicare, Medicaid, Chicago, poverty, and health care disparities read this book. Great investigative journalism style.
Great read for a future doc.......2006-02-09
I was required to read this in medical school. This is a great book. It is leaning to the side of socialism, but it is certainly addressing a real problem in America. This book has been out for a while. I am wondering why in the world politicians and businessmen invovled in healthcare are not required to read this book. They should. I think it's good enough to qualify for 12th grade mandatory reading.
Eye-opening read, but very left-wing.......2002-12-17
Mama was required reading for a graduate-level nursing course. It was very enlightening -- a poignant and heartbreaking look at a poor African-American family living in one of Chicago's worst neighborhoods. However, I found the author's style and choice of words biased towards the subjects and exceptionally left-wing. Not that these things really don't happen, but the author's descriptive language is heavily biased against the "system" while downplaying the flip side of the coin, that people need to take some individual responsibility for their actions. Abraham does her best (one would hope) to remain objective, but it is most definitely a narrative and should be treated as such. Still, definitely worth the read.

a look at the antiques and used-goods trade.......2005-07-06
Leslie takes the reader on an enjoyable and instructive journey through the world of flea markets, tag sales, auctions, antique shops, and other outlets where used and antique items of all ages and price levels exchange hands. Not having much money as well as prompted by the desire to shirk the "rampant materialism" he found in large chain stores, malls, and mainstream retailing, Leslie made the decision to buy only secondhand goods when he needed something despite the extra time this often required, with no guarantee that he would ever find what he was looking for. But before long, these drawbacks were put out of mind as the author became ever more involved in, and fascinated and delighted by what he found in this supposedly marginal, but thriving and populous area of American society. "In the secondhand culture, I have discovered the joys of a genuine American market, unfettered buying and selling, which most first-level retailing has lost." Leslie has become friends with many dealers he has met. The author's ventures into all aspects of this secondhand culture from major international auction houses, regional and local auctions and flea markets, neighborhood tag sales, and also the world's largest and longest flea markets also serve as a guide for anyone wishing to become more involved in this market as either a buyer or seller. Leslie teaches at Siena College in upper New York, which also happens to be a prime area for the secondhand market he was drawn to and colorfully and fully recounts.
Book Description
A distinguished historian's vision of how the Civil War could have turned out differently, and with what consequences.
What if Lee had avoided defeat at Gettysburg? What if a military stalemate had developed, coupled with growing antiwar sentiment? What if Lincoln had been defeated in the 1864 election and Great Britain had recognized the Confederacy? What would have been the careers of an independent Confederate States of America and a defeated United States?
In the right hands the "what if" question can give us unusual access to the fascinations of history. It can transform the inevitable back into the possible, restoring the contingency and the drama of events. Roger L. Ransom, a master of historical analysis, follows the consequences of the "what if" scenario over an extended period of time, showing us the logical and historically valid outcomes of his counterfactuals. The result is a historical vision that is fascinating, convincing, and a source of insight into the critical events of the Civil War as they actually happened. 24 maps.

An intriguing survey any collection strong in Civil War history will want.......2007-03-05
What if the South had won the Civil War, and what would the world be like today? Many historians have considered this scenario and plenty of science fiction collections have been constructed around stories of such - but THE CONFEDERATE STATES OF AMERICA uses real facts and analysis to blend historical plausibility and realistic scenarios to show how a Confederate-run America would change not only this country, but the world. Even economics are explored, along with international relationships changed by such events. An intriguing survey any collection strong in Civil War history will want: it offers more scholarship and seasoned, rational reasoning than most approaches.
The wrong execution of the right idea.......2006-03-26
Ransom gets it all wrong here. Counterfactual history is extremely useful in showing historical causation, as well as valuating the outcomes, but if it's done poorly it becomes fiction. There is a very thin line between fictional and counterfactual works, and what divides the two camps is a solid methodology. Ransom is too accepting of even the most flimsy "what-ifs" because he's not willing to limit himself to the options that the historical players considered themselves. Yes, what if aliens came down and nuked the earth? What if all of the Native-Americans in North American ganged up on the North during the war? What if, what if, what if? The thing that keeps counterfactual history from sounding foolish is methodology accepted by most scholars. They produce the works of counterfactual scholarship. Ransom has created something entirely different, and it should be avoided.
Facts and fiction, an intriguing mix........2005-11-19
When I first purchased this book I thought I was going to read yet another "what if" story of the South winning the American Civil War, maybe with some new idea but basically with the same pattern already seen in other such products.
Thus I was very satisfied when, page after page, I found solid facts in the first chapters concerning the "why" and the "how" the Civil War came to happen (together with a brief conduct of the real war itself), followed by the "story" of an alternate Civil War based on those same facts but ending with a Confederate victory. Most important, the author finally deals with the aftermath of a Confederate victory, both from a political and economical point of view (something not easily found in other such products) trying to draw conclusions based on various possible alternatives.
I found the presence of verifible figures and hard data very helpful to fully understand a chapter of American history that I, as an Italian reader, did not know but was eager to analyze.
I found the book very well written, easy to follow, and enough imaginative in the chapter concerning the "other war" to satisfy my anticipations, but most of all I found it indispensable to fill in my gaps about that part of world history that I could not study in Italy.
All in all a very good product, I would surely recommend it to all lovers of real and fictional history.
The Last Hurrah?.......2005-09-02
This is a solid, well-thought out "what might have been" study that goes beyond the sensational or the mythical. Here the reader is treated to the political history of the Confederate States of America as it might evolve. Almost 50 years ago McKinley Kantor penned one of the best pioneering works on the question "what if the South won in 1865?" (he has the North and South reunited by 1915 in the face of WWI and the growing threat to both side-by-side Americas); it also was an excellent political and military "first cut" to a fascinating subject not only for Civil War buffs but any one interested in "Alternative History".
Ransom's book is plausible in its projections based on the facts of the early formation and struggle by the CSA to become independent. He provides controversial thinking on what might happen if the CSA were successful, but his line of reasoning is what makes the book engaging and thoughtful. Ransom writes a good read, and the scholarship is of the quality to be quoted in other similar, high-quality studies.

Marvelous Might-Have-Been .......2005-08-01
Roger Ransom has written one of the most provocative efforts in the field of counterfactual speculation which I have had the chance to read. Taking as his challenge the well-plowed ground of the American Civil War, Professor Ransom has managed to offer a series of genuinely innovative insights into the possible result of a Confederate victory. Rather than picking one "point of divergence," Ransom instead opts for what one might call a "semi-chaotic collage" of mutually reinforcing changes, resulting in a military stalemate in 1864 that in turn produces a collapse of the North's political will to continue the fight. The changes hypothesized are plausible, and their "snowballing" effect makes a good case for Ransom's basic thesis that the South's best chance for victory lay in an improved performance by the Confederacy's Western and Eastern forces, combined. The true strength of Ransom's work, however, does not lie in its narrative describing the battlefield course of (yet another) alternate American Civil War. Rather, it is in the analysis of the possible consequences of a Southern victory, and particularly the international consequences of a division of the North American Continent between two rival American Unions, where this alternate history truly excels. Professor Ransom describes how the ensuing rivalry between USA and CSA would have affected the relationships between the Great Powers of Europe, as they are drawn into the USA-CSA rivalry, and for reasons of their own vital interests. Ransom also directly tackles the feel good notion that North and South would have quickly shaken off the bad feelings of a successful "War for Southern Independence" and developed a friendly relationship, allowing the two American Unions to operate virtually as one, in confronting the challenges of the 20th Century. (MacKinlay Kantor's Civil War Centennial piece for LIFE magazine on the subject is perhaps the best-known of the "Panglossian" takes on a Confederate victory.) Ransom persuasively argues that the divisions between North and South which ruptured into inter-regional war in 1861 reflected profoundly different approaches to basic questions of socio-economic organization and political order, and that these differences would have driven the two American Unions even further apart as each in the wake of Southern independence worked to define itself in contradistinction to the other. Professor Ransom also grapples insightfully with economic issues that alternate history writers tend for some reason to avoid, and the resulting analysis adds a crucial and genuinely illuminating dimension to his work (e.g., he addresses the international economic factors that would have shaped the post-Secession prospects for a "King Cotton" not overthrown by Northern arms). I am a lawyer by trade who has tried his hand at alternate history, and the venerable AH subject of a Southern victory has always held a special fascination for me. I confess to sharing Professor Ransom's view that a Southern victory would have proven a setback, both domestic and international, for the cause of human progress. But whatever one's point of view on that question, any serious student of the American Civil War, even those who generally scorn "What if?" as nothing more than a silly parlor game, would benefit from reading Professor Ransom's fine effort.
Book Description
The ideal vacation planner for people who’ve “been there, done that,” this upbeat guide profiles a wealth of fascinating destinations, some of which may be well known regionally but virtually unknown nationally.

Wonderful book...the writer will be missed.......2006-07-15
Sadly the week this book was released Don Martin died doing what he loved best. He was out kayaking in the early morning, trying to sight a moose and her baby that he'd seen the day before. So no more witty reparte in travel books. Ickybod (his beloved Winnebego) has gone on his last adventure. Fortunately through this book, Don lives on.
The book has some wonderful insight into places that are secrets to everyone but the locals. If you're a car traveler, keep this in your car or RV to help you plan those wonderful little side trips that somehow seem to elicit the best memories. Each location has not only a short editorial on just what Don thought made it special, but there is also a list of places to visit while there and where to go for more information.
So while Don will be missed, his work lives on in the pages of this book. Hopefully his wife of 21 years, Betty, will continue her travels in his honor. I know that my next trip will include at least one of his side trips and will be bittersweet knowing he won't be around to share my stories with.

Book Description
Loyalty to the community is the highest value in Native American cultures, argues Jace Weaver. In That the People Might Live, he explores a wide range of Native American literature from 1768 to the present, taking this sense of community as both a starting point and a lens. Weaver considers some of the best known Native American writers, such as Leslie Marmon Silko, Gerald Vizenor, and Vine Deloria, as well as many others who are receiving critical attention here for the first time. He contends that the single thing that most defines these authors' writings, and makes them deserving of study as a literature separate from the national literature of the United States, is their commitment to Native community and its survival. He terms this commitment "communitism"--a fusion of "community" and "activism." The Native American authors are engaged in an ongoing quest for community and write out of a passionate commitment to it. They write, literally, "that the People might live." Drawing upon the best Native and non-Native scholarship (including the emerging postcolonial discourse), as well as a close reading of the writings themselves, Weaver adds his own provocative insights to help readers to a richer understanding of these too often neglected texts. A scholar of religion, he also sets this literature in the context of Native cultures and religious traditions, and explores the tensions between these traditions and Christianity.

Some Basic Truths.......2000-04-19
Jace Weaver's contribution to Native American Literary criticism is monumental. The introduction to So That The People Might Live is not only informative but also pushes, explores, and expands upon what scholarly information is currently available regarding Native American writers and their literary contributions. Mr. Weaver speaks about some basic truths regarding Native American communities and these communities' connections to a Native American author's writing. Essentially he says "I am We"--A native person's sense of identity and/or responsibility toward writing, anything, is wrapped up in that persons individual as well as communal identity. Although an author may be writing as an individual s/he is always aware of his/her greater identity.
The chapters that follow Mr. Weaver's introduction rehash some familiar ground but his information and diligent research is apparant and is, to a great extent, relevent as well as illuminating. All in all this book is definately worth the read and the buy for those who are serious about Native American Literature.

Suprisingly Detailed History.......2007-05-14
Mark Reutter has done extensive research to create a very readable history of the rise and eventual fall of the American steel industry. The powerful, ultra-rich lifestyles of the moguls are contrasted with the rank and file laborers who toiled in the Bethlehem Steel company town of Sparrows Point, Maryland. The technical and industrial processes are well presented and the political and social contrasts emerge in a well-told story.
Disappointing Ending to A Great Work of Research.......2006-06-11
The first 350 pages of this book by Mark Reutter were incredibly researched and dogmatically detailed. Cost figures, inane but helpful facts about weights and manufacturing norms were all included. Interviews with those who rememebr the mill from the 1940's and war-era booms had profound effect on the reader. The detailed background to Sparrows Point and to Charles Schwab was particularly unique and helpful, as were the details on figures like Frederick Wood and Dr. Abel Wolman. These crucial storylines create the background for a mill that was very powerful but also very tragic for workers, families and the environment. Meticulous in documentation the reader is provided a visual of factory life for the first 50 years in Maryland. Truly a gem....for the first 350 pages.
Beginning with the period of the 1950's Reutter begin to accelerate his pace notably. Facts are more vague, details fewer to come by, and the years are treated in a flurry of activity that seems to gain more pace the further one reads. The latter part of the book seemed to be determined by other works/authors (i.e "Good to Great" or John Strohmeyer) with less depth and meaning then any of the quoted sources achieved in their works (I read all of them). Ken Iverson of NUCOR fame is treated as a bit of a god-like prodigy, business realities are discarded and the author succombs to compassionate story tales of the union worker and his fate at the hands of "irresponsible and reckless management". Wilbur Ross, though not a choir boy according to anybody, gets unfair trteatment for his conduct in this situation. Also....glaring error/ommission in management history of Bethlehem Steel with Donald Trautlein and early 1980's.....completely misrepresented by author.
Overall I would say it was a good body of information, but as a student of the industrial revolution and Bethlehem Steel in particular, I have no praise for the vague generalizations Reutter inserts as thought in the book's conclusion. As a citizen of a locale near Behtlehem itself, I reject and find fault with Reutter's portrayal of Maryland superiority in steel and management......there is little if any historical evidence to prove this bias. Throughout the book Bethlehem is treated as a fumbling colossus and Maryland the reason for it's success, which is only partly true. This book deserves a much more powerful ending, and more substance to describe such a complex situation/predicament that was created in the reader for 350+ pages. Too much bias, too little business/historical objectivity and too quick and ending for a stellar review.
