Incest is Icky.......2007-04-24

Jared's summer vacation is not off to a good start. The brakes on his bike give out and he ends up falling into a toxic swamp near his summer home. He can barely wash the smell off of himself. Then things start to get strange for Jared. He finds that he can read the thoughts of the rest of his family members, all vacationing together near his grandmother's summer complex. Being able to read minds is interesting and useful at first, as he can see what his family members are really hiding. He is able to find out that his gorgeous cousin Annelise seems to return some of his passionate feelings, which thrills him. But his other cousin, Lindie, seems to have a real grudge against Annelise.

When Jared's secret journal and Annelise's secret journal are stolen from their hiding spots, Jared figures someone else at the family gathering must be able to read minds as well. He becomes even more convinced when he hears there have been robberies in the area where people's alarm codes have been used and their bank accounts have been emptied with their ATM cards. Someone who can read minds is on a crime spree.

More shocking than the news of the crimes, though, is the thoughts Jared is able to read from Annelise when she thinks about what she wrote in her secret journal--horrible things about Jared and the rest of the family. Will Jared and Annelise be able to get their journals back before embarrassing or damaging entries are read by everyone in the family?

The part of this book dealing with psychic powers was interesting. I liked that Jared was able to find out the truth about his relatives, and I liked Lindie's character, especially the fact that she was able to see through Annelise when nobody else did. However, the whole incest thing totally turned me off. There were no other cute girls in Jared's life? He really had to choose his own cousin as the object of his affection? What a terrible part of the plot!

Kind of flat.......2005-09-25

I dont see why this book has such high reviews. I like Sleator normally, but this book lacking something that the other books Ive read by him dont; Marco's Millions, the Last Universe etc. A broader plot for one. And characters that I kind of care about. I find it hard to have empathy for these incest minded charaters. The only thing I got from the book is a strong desire to want to read minds!!!!

Brilliant.......2005-07-13

A very awesome book. REALLY GOOD! Well thought out and written. It's kind of atypical that all the "good" and "bad" characters are all in one extended family, and the title is not as good as it could be, but an important read for Sleator fans and SciFi readers in general.

reading other people's minds.......2004-08-03

what if you were able to read other people's minds? what if other people were able to read your mind? what if the people reading your mind were not very nice people?
mr sleator goes through all of these different scenarios with amusing results. His point of view through a teenager's eyes who falls into a toxic waste dump makes for a very fun book. My only complaint with this book is that it is just too short. I wish there was a toxic dump we could fall into and read other people's minds. I live in new jersey and while there are a number of lovely toxic waste sites to choose from, i don't hear about too many psychics- or are they reading my mind right now?

great book.......2003-08-09

I picked up this book because I had to read for school. Two pages into it and I was hooked. You'll like the main character Jared and love the grandmother. You'll hate the bad guy and won't be dissapointed in the ending (unless you like sad endings). If you like sci-fi and good vs. evil--this book of psychic abilities is definitley for you. I would say more about the story line but I was suprised when I read the real twist in the book and I liked it. One word--diary. Read this book for the diary section. You'll know. I loved reading this book and didn't want to put it down. I'm definitley going to buy more of Sleator's books. Peace.

Book Description

One of the ironies of the post-Cold War world, in which the power of the United States is without rival, is that the costs of isolationism and ignorance are greater than ever. The temptation to imagine that the rest of the world matters less than before is enticing, as America basks in the triumphant glow of a world in which capitalism and democracy, under the aegis of American leadership, are thought to have vanquished all rivals. Although it is unlikely that Americans will come to pay much attention to the rest of the world anytime soon--except when their citizens are threatened or killed abroad, or when they are persuaded that the threat of foreigners doing harm at home seems real--their failure to do so cripples the ability of the United States to understand a world in which American interests, security, and prosperity are embedded to an unprecedented degree.

As Others See Us investigates the causes and consequences of the world's perceptions of America. It proceeds from the premise that the images, ideas, and information that foreign populations have of the United States and Americans come from a number of sources, most of which are mediated. Some of these sources are American, Hollywood especially. Others are located outside the country, in the media, educational, religious, and political systems through which foreign populations learn about America. Any attempt to understand the "what" and "why" of foreign perceptions of America needs to look closely at these external determinants of how the image and interpretation of the United States is constructed in different societies.

Intimations of transcendence.......2006-11-26

Peter Berger's book is an undisputed classic for several reasons: in it Berger gives an acute sociological diagnosis of the contemporary demise of the supernatural, which he defines as the "belief that there is an other reality, and one of ultimate significance for man, which transcends the reality within which our everyday experience unfolds" (p.2), he sketches a brief sociology of religious knowledge, accounting for the waxing and waning of religious thought in terms of 'plausibility structures' and the tension associated with being in a 'cognitive minority' and finally suggests an 'anthropological starting point' for theological method, in which an empirical study may reveal 'rumors of transcendence' within human experience, or "phenomena that are to be found within the domain of our 'natural' reality but that appear to point beyond that reality" (p.66).

Peter Berger makes some particularly insightful comments on the so-called threat of sociological relativization which threatens the integrity of religious belief. The problem, he says, is that too often the relativizers do not apply their own tools of analysis to themselves. The upshot is that "When everything has been subsumed under the relativiziing categories in question...the question of truth reasserts itself in almost pristine simplicity. Once we know that all human affirmations are subject to scientifically graspable socio-historical processes, which affirmations are true and which are false?" (p.50) Sociology may present a challenge to traditional religious understanding, but this has little to do with whether that understanding is accurate. Sociology is descriptive but not prescriptive: "We may agree, say, that contemporary consciousness is incapable of conceiving of either angels or demons. We are still left with the question of whether, possibly, both angels and demons go on existing despite this incapacity of our contemporaries to conceive of them" (p.52).

Berger presents five arguments for quintessentially human experiences which seem to point to the supernatural: the pervasive sense of ordering, play, moral damnation, humor and hope. All of these may be said to reveal a fundamental disanalogy between man's being or humanitas and the universe as a whole, and they suggest that there is more to existence than our everyday experience. Berger is careful to point out that one cannot empirically prove that these experiences do in fact point to this higher reality, but they do offer legitimate support from the standpoint of 'inductive faith'.

The book only purports to sketch an outline of theological method, based on these fundamental human experiences. It is clear that by and large the theological community has not taken up Berger's challenge to do the detailed scholarly work that would validate such a method. He himself has extended it in his book on humor, "The Redemption of Laughter", but it is clear that there is a long way still to go.

Even though there is so much that is so right in Berger's little book, there is one major sticking point where I get off his train: his insistence that orthodoxy must be challenged, and that a particular religious tradition can at least serve as "a catalogue of heresies for possible home-use". It seems that both the anthropological and revelational 'poles' of the divine-human encounter are necessary: one completes the other. Berger criticizes the neo-orthodox approach of stressing the primacy of revelation at the expense of human experience, but methinks he protests too much. Revelation is necessary in order to give complete meaning and sense to the otherwise extraordinarily vague 'intimations of transcedence' which Berger identifies, important though they are to theological method.

Overall, though, this book is indispensable for theology. Peter Berger is a lucid, eloquent, piercing writers whose words are inspiring, illuminating and provocative. One can only hope that the rumors of the supernatural which he indentifies will stay alive in an increasingly secular, materialistic Western culture.

P.S. For a devotional book which has remarkable similarities to Berger's theological method, see Philip Yancey's "Rumors of Another World".

An intellectual, moderate view of religion.......2004-01-09

A sociological look at religion in the 20th century, the process of secularization and its affects on religion, as well as it's philosophical and theological implications of it. The title of the second chapter sums up this book: "Relativizing the Relativizers." In other words, if Marx and Freuerbach turned Hegel on his head, here's an effort to do the same in turn to them. In other words, it deals with the issue of whether religion is a human projection. "Yes," says Berger, "But that doesn't necessarily invalidate it," he continues.

This is not some "God-is-dead" theological exercise, nor is it liberal, secular theology a la Harvey Cox's "The Secular City." It does provide sociology's point of view on religion from a sociologist who is himself a believer. It takes seriously the threat posed to traditional dogma that sociology so forcefully poses, concedes its weaknesses, and yet doesn't conceded the fallacy and futility of religious belief.

All this leads up to a pluralistic view of religion: fundamentalists and literalists beware.

Surprisingly, the best part of the book is when Berger switches hats and becomes a bit of a philosopher of religion. While he doesn't call them "proofs," he does provide in the second half of the book "signals" that the divine exists.

This is one of my favorite books, and it has withstood the test of multiple reads through the years.

Signals of Transcendence.......2003-03-21

Perhaps one of the reasons that this little book is only a minor classic is its title: "A Rumor of Angels." The book is not about angels or the disembodiment of humans. Neither is it a study of rumor networks or gossip. Nor should the book be taken whimsically or trivially as if it had something to do with fairy tales, ghost stories, or apparitions. Concerned that his earlier book - The Sacred Canopy: Elements of a Sociological Theory of Religion - "could be read as a treatise on atheism," in 1969 Berger wrote a Rumor of Angels as a sequel and antidote.

Berger explains how worldviews are built up and maintained by conversation and what he calls "plausibility structures." Without such social support structures one's knowledge of the world can be seen as deviant or even pathological. Berger tells us that there is an allegation in modern secular society that conversation about religion has shifted from a dialogue to a monologue. The process of secularization is alleged to have reduced the transcendent dimension of life to the status of an unconfirmed "rumor." Berger traces these rumors to their source and calls our attention to five "signals of transcendence" embedded into the fabric of society that indicate a transcendent dimension: order, hope, play, humor and damnation. These five signals aren't like the mystical symbol systems of the Christian Trinity (God, son, spirit), or of Marxism (thesis, antithesis, synthesis), or psychoanalysis (id, ego, superego), or of democracy (executive, judicial, legislative).

Without a social order life becomes meaningless, homeless, and loveless, even malevolent. The propensity to hope in the face of suffering and death is another example of the transcendent. Play is a signal of transcendence from the grimness of life's realities and the "iron cage" of large impersonal bureaucratic organizations. Humor laughs at the discrepancy between what "is" and "ought" to be, and the comic discrepancy between tiny men living in a massive cosmos. A sense that some acts are damnable even though we can't escape the relativities of the world implies a transcendent moral order. These five signals are not logical or philosophical proofs for God or angels or religious belief, but Berger tells us they are signposts of transcendence that can only be seen and accepted on the basis of faith. As Berger puts it in one of his later writings, "God plays a game of hide and seek with mankind and leaves more than a few hints where he may be hiding" (A Far Glory, 1992).

I have found these five arguments for the persistence of the transcendent to be more intriguing and credible than any theological or philosophical arguments for God. The nonbeliever will find the numerous references in the Christian bible to angels and demons as a considerable stumbling block to religious faith. But Berger points out a sociological truism: belief and non-belief is socially located. Intellectuals often regard beliefs in such things as miracles or divine messengers as figurative and literary devices and look down on people who believe them; while the masses often believe in them or at least talk about such things. Honest belief in a supernatural dimension isn't a matter of intelligence or social class. What accounts for the difference is one's worldview.

By definition a rumor is considered to be a message that lost its original meaning; that ended up distorted as it was passed along the rumor grapevine. Berger, the sociologist par excellence, removes the distortions and traces the rumors to their source and believes they reveal the true human condition. Berger often writes very "heady" topics in a wry, witty, and almost comic manner. He is such a believer in the comic dimension as a signal of transcendence that he later wrote a whole book on the subject of humor ("Redeeming Laughter, 1997). So it is fitting to end this book review with one of Berger's inimitable jokes that may best describe his book A Rumor of Angels: "when a joke-teller tells you that he is no longer joking - don't believe him."

A most heartfelt gift.......2006-04-07

Of all the books I have encountered about love and loss through death, this is my favorite. The quotes are short and speak directly to the heart. It has comforted me, not only in the wake of a recent death, but anytime I seek an affirmation of what counts most in life, and how we come to that in times of loss.

A rumor of angels.......2005-02-17

I bought this book, mainly by chance, the year my mother died. I would find myself looking at it at traffic lights or while waiting to pick up my kids. It helped to have my feelings put into words by far more gifted craftmen than I. I find myself giving it to friends who experience tragedies. It has been out of print for some time and is becoming difficult to find. It shouldn't be. It is truly a gift.

A gathering of wisdom on living, dying and letting go.......1997-03-28

This is a small book of quotations having to do with living, dying and letting go. Since buying my first copy in 1990, I have given away many, many copies to friends who have lost someone. Tonight I have used it again, to help me write to a friend who just lost his brother in a car accident

Unholy Madness: The Church's Surrender to Psychiatry

ASIN: 0812692004

Book Description

This is a collection of seven true stories of individuals insulted and injured by the mental health system, individuals who then fought back, broke free, and rebuilt their lives. Madness, Heresy, and the Rumor of Angels is a work in the tradition of Thomas Szasz, R. D. Laing, and Erving Goffman, a challenge to the delusional belief-system known as psychiatry, and a protest against its appalling crimes.

Yesterday's shaman is today's "schizophrenic".......2007-04-10

Although Robert Robbins makes insightful comments about psychiatry in his review,his comments would lead someone who read MHRA to conclude that he did not read (or not read very carefully) the book he is ostensibly commenting upon. The focus of Madness, Heresy and the Rumor of Angels is not biological reductionism--which has become the well-deserved target of many authors--most prominently Dr Peter Breggin. But Farber's focus is reductionism in the broader sense--that is, the refusal to recognize--in fact the determination to suppress--the spiritual dimension of human existence. Thus what lies outside the ordinary schemata that determines consensually-validated "reality" (or one might say the consensually validated delusional system) is "reduced" by mental health professionals to pathology, to "mental illness." The (true) stories of "schizophrenics" in this book reveal that "schizophrenia" is not only a breakdown but also a breakthrough (as R D Laing said long ago) to the realm of the extra-ordinary.This book, contrary to Robbins, does indeed elaborate on the idea of a spiritual dimension. Like Laing, Farber attributes the typical unhappy outcome IN OUR SOCIETY of the schizophrenic experience --to the practices of the mental death system--to sins of commission--e.g. zombifying "anti-psychotic medication" and degrading psychiatric labeling, i.e. "diagnosis") and perhaps more importantly the the primary sin of omission
--- the failure of "mental health professionals" to act--as they would if they were genuinely committed to helping their fellow human beings-- as companions (not as jailers and judges) to persons who are typically lost and frightened, having found themselves thrown into the unfamiliar spiritual domain of life.
While the spiritual world --alien to the age of "reason" as Max Weber pointed out--is being re-discovered lately in various circles (eg "new age"), in the mental health system it is still regarded as pathology to be stamped out--along alas with the "patient."

The Philosophy Of Biological Reductionism.......2005-06-08

This book brilliantly illustrates the ethical and moral dangers of biological reductionism. The mental health system has adopted a philosophy of biological reductionism. They see human beings as clockwork oranges. They consider the psyche to be an outdated myth. They don't consider psychotherapy to be a valid treatment option for any form of emotional distress. They don't even subscribe to basic psychology anymore. The mental health system has reduced all forms of human behavior to brain chemistry and they define mental illness as a chemical imbalance in the brain which MUST be treated with drug therapy. The mental health system has become a mindless, soulless menace to humanity. Mindless because they are anti-intellectual and soulless because they have no respect for spirituality.

I was intrigued by a vague hint of "intimations of a spiritual reality" mentioned in the blurb but the book does not elaborate on that topic.

I would also recommend the play "Equus" by Peter Shaffer, a now forgotten critique of psychiatry and the threat it poses to spirituality and our humanity.

The Voices of Angels........2004-02-27

If you have ever seen any of Albrecht Durer's woodcuts on the Apocalypse or have read the works of Swedenborg and can relate to the central figures, then perhaps this book is one you might find helpful. If you have experienced what is colloquially called "madness" or frequently undergo mystical experiences which a doctor has told you constitute a psychotic disorder, then I believe that reading this book may be profitable to you. The book relates several tales of individuals and their experience with the mental health establishment. The book is written from an "anti-psychiatry" perspective and includes commentary by Seth Farber and Thomas Szasz (famous libertarian) on the dangers of the mental health system, the harm it has done to many sensitive souls, and the psychiatric survivor's organizations and mental health liberation leagues which have fought coercive treatment. (I generally tend to be somewhat sympathetic to the point of view of the author, although I'm not sure that it would hold true for all individuals and I do believe that medicines and drugs can sometimes be helpful. Afterall, it is very painful to be truly "awake", wakefulness takes energy and thus drains the body, so if you are fully awake all the time you probably will need a medication to sedate you.) If you have ever experienced hallucinations, paranoia, or delusions, and believed they have been improperly handled by a psychiatrist or in a mental health facility then perhaps you can recognize some of what is discussed in this book. My personal experience is this. I went to a very select and intensive math and science academy for undergraduate school and many individuals and friends of mine underwent severe crises and breakdowns as a result of the stress. I have undergone several breakdowns myself or existential crises and have had my fair share of otherwise "mystical experiences". I believe that this sort of thing is not adequately understood by modern science which is biased in a materialistic, scientistic manner. In particular, for example, I believe that the soul can be severed from the body and the body can become a mere "puppet" or "robot" during extreme stress. A psychiatrist has described this experience as "psychotic"; however, a quick perusal of most ancient religious sources will show it to be a fairly common one. If you have these sorts of experiences, believe you have ESP for example, or feel that you can communicate with angels, that the television may speak directly to you, or that God talks to you, then you are not "abnormal" as a psychiatrist or mainstream society may say. Rather, you may merely be a particularly sensitive individual who picks up cues from his environment and perhaps has access to higher levels of being, other dimensions (read for example the book _Flatland_ by Edwin Abbot), or even parallel universes. I believe that the brain is like an antenna that can be tuned to different radio stations (a spike on the energy graph which is "you") and may occassionally pick up some static. Unlike the author however, I disagree with him about the role of psychiatric medications. While it is true that many of these medications do have certain harmful side effects they can be helpful in certain ways. For example, speaking for myself I know that without the drug depakote I am nervous as a cat, paranoid, believe that people are talking about me, have ideas of reference, cannot sleep, do not want to eat, and sometimes cannot even leave the house. With it I have the side effect of cotton mouth and feel sluggish, but otherwise I believe the drug does calm my nerves. So in this sense I feel it may be good for me, despite its long term side effects (a chance I am willing to take, for the peace of mind it seems to offer me now). The choice of course is entirely up to you as far as medications go and they do not work for all people. Otherwise, this book offers an excellent opportunity to examine the role of mystical experience in the lives of those deemed mentally ill and looks at some individuals who are at the higher functioning level of mental illness. Mental illness I believe may ultimately be a disease of civilization. The pressures of social conformity work their way into the minds of people and ultimately cause them to undergo breakdowns, breakthroughs, or transformations. Afterall, civilization has certain cracks.

A gem of a book by a great writer.......2005-12-28

Rumor of Angels is one of my favorite science fiction novels. I've read it to tatters and will one day have to buy another copy, since I fully intend to read it again. And again. And again.

I wish there was more.......2004-06-08

This is a great book and I wish there was more of them. It was filled with new colorerful people and aliens, and left you with a feeling of new beginings. Some of the thing that happen are expected and other are not. I like that in a book. This is just my oppionion read it for your self and see what you think!
