This book is very difficult to like, let along love, but there are parts of it which are useful for anyone concerned about the class structure in America. The good section of the book is the center bulk - the carefully structured data and their presentation. That part is simply fantastic. The data, for the most part, is presented in a neutral manner (not easy to do!). Interpretation of that data is more difficult, but that is always the case. Those chapters (2 through 16) are easily worth the price of the book. Where the book, in my opinion, flounders, is in Charles Murray's interpretation of the data. One issue is the time period chosen. I would argue that the period between (say) the 1950s through the early 60s was highly unusual in American history. There were no great economic crashes, unlike (say) 1873, 1893, 1920 and 1929. Except for the Korean war, there were no open wars conducted by America in that period, yet we had a large standing army, with the Veterans' bill behind it and an openly recognized foreign enemy to unify the country. I suspect many men in Fishtown benefited mightily from the military in that period. Just a little bit later, we had Vietnam, which changed the equation. A more typical American period might have been the 1920s and 1930s - boom, bust and considerable inequality. I wonder how the results would have looked then? Charles implies similarity with his period, but that would be surprising considering the history of the 1930s, when there were many rootless people and the (official) birth rate was very low. Having said all that, this book is valuable in that it identifies class as an issue in American life. When the poor were portrayed as members of (quite specific) minorities, it was easy to ignore them - after all, they weren't real Americans. Now that this is happening to native whites, all of a sudden people take notice. That recognition alone is important.

I bought this for my daughter she is learning how to play the flute..its been about 2 months its its been going great...she loves the color pink..

I tried eSalon for the first time last week and I am thrilled with the results. I sent pictures of myself and a description of my hair and desired color on the website and quickly received a package with hair color, a brush, stain preventer, stain remover (which I didn't need), shampoo and conditioner, and two pairs of gloves. My gray is completely covered, my roots are blended smoothly into the color of the rest of my [previously colored] hair, my hair color looks natural without the horrible monochromatic look that screams "dye", and I don't have the reddish tints that stylists insist on adding even when I say I do not want them. My hair feels so soft and it shines. I paid $125.00 at the salon a few months ago, and my hair didn't look as healthy and natural as it does today, one week after I did it myself at home. I am a complete clumsy amateur at almost everything, but this system was designed to be fool-proof. They have a loyal customer in me now.

Amazing game for the whole family. We like that it somehow paves way for the whole family to be able to exercise or at least move a bit. Our kids would always be in eye-to-eye contact with their laptops or phones and this is a great game changer.

The game was fun for a very short time it isn't even Diablo anymore and I find it sad that games like Torchlight and Path of Exile are far more of a Diablo game than the third installment. Though Torchlight has the main remnants of Blizzard North. Blizzard South should stick to their guys and only do WoW because it is good not alienate another game with the streamlined garbage and basic rule changes that made the past games so good. I am generous enough to give the game 2 stars because I semi enjoyed it up to level 60 and a few paragon levels before it got totally boring. The online AH really ruined the game and how the drop rate of items work, it should have never received an AH in the first place.

Great price and received quickly. Easy book to take with you and study when you have the chance. Should really help get higher score on PCAT.
