Book Description
Who Will Tell the People is a passionate, eye-opening challenge to American democracy. Here is a tough-minded exploration of why we're in trouble, starting with the basic issues of who gets heard, who gets ignored, and why. Greider shows us the realities of power in Washington today, uncovering the hidden relationships that link politicians with corporations and the rich, and that subvert the needs of ordinary citizens.
How do we put meaning back into public life? Greider shares the stories of some citizens who have managed to crack Washington's "Grand Bazaar" of influence peddling as he reveals the structures designed to thwart them. Without naiveté or cynicism, Greider shows us how the system can still be made to work for the people, and delineates the lines of battle in the struggle to save democracy. By showing us the reality of how the political decisions that shape our lives are made, William Greider explains how we can begin to take control once more.

The Hobo Philosopher.......2007-09-02
In trying to understand the modern day world - governments, societies, and general direction of the civilization - I found myself very confused. I wanted to find a professor who could get me up to speed on what is really going on in the world around me. As you know one must choose selectively because there are "so many books and so little time". Consequently I have chosen William Greider as my "Civics" professor.
I have finished my third book by William Greider this morning, "Who Will Tell the People." I thought that to be a wonderful title for a book. I have been asking myself that same questions on many different subjects for many years. If you have also been wondering "Who Will Tell the People", I think I can tell you quite sincerely that one of the people who will tell the people is certainly William Greider.
This book is about Washington, "K" street and the money, games and influence. I thought that I knew about all that stuff but unfortunately I didn't know the half of it.
North America and Western Europe Free at Last.......2006-01-13
Greider is expansive in is account of the decline of the U.S..Corruption is in your face at all levels.The elite have to be put down,and we now have the weapon.To talk about what should be done as speculation is B.S.unless you are willing to act.Now all can be involved and unknown.Those who have taken can give back.To get to the point stop immigration into the U.S.
By doing this you take away the power of the elite, and you are in charge.Why because it will give you economic power.The elite will have to bargan with you in the work place.No more foreign slave labor to destroy our country.All you have to do is support the Boarder Protection Act-Anti Terroism and Illegal Immigration Control Act HR 4437.It has Bang for the buck, kick their ass.
Bush talks about he cannot waver,well we cannot waver either.Do not let any protestant, catholic,or jew override the constitution for illegal immigrants.They are real threat to the security of the American People. That war we are in was not.How many lives will it cost,and what about the economy.The minority who are crying help us help illegals should get out of U.S.The law on immigration is not enforced TREASON.There is no excuse.Vote the senate and congress out who vote for more immigrants,they are criminals.Prosecute any one assisting a illegal.STOP IMMIGRATION PERIOD fOR FIVE YEARS-FULL EMPLOYMENT.Please do not let the elite and their puppets fool you as they always have.They play both sides.
Greider talks about the elite control.They have educated us to be fools.Class against class to support the elite interest.In the end most of the upper classes are taken out also,But they go down stupid.The only people that are not brainwashed are the elite.They play hard ball,if you want to win be like them,then you will be the boss.You are the majority.Stop being a SHEEP.You have been on your knees long enough,show them you can win.JFK could not win because he did not have the power,you do.
The american culture is finished if we do not act now.Educators are corrupt,news media,banks,oil,insurence,coporates,contractors,government officils,etc.We have to reinstitute the western culture which is our birth right.The people need to know their history.Prior to NAM most americans were western european who fought the american wars.AS with Japan why should we be ashame.We fought for our country,right or wrong.WE won by our power,not by weakness.All nations win and lose and take advantage.There is no law without the power to enforce it.People believe in their nation.The manorities who do not like us need to get out we do not need them.It is a privilege for them to be in U.S. they do not own us.They did not win our freedom.I am referring to third world.The world bank and IMF need to help these people in their own country,not here.We have poverty,long term unemployment that is not counted.Once unemployment insurence is finished,they do not count you as looking for work.American indians,Blacks,poor whites need a minimun standard of living with guality before illegals.They need full employment.Why has the government not taken care of the problem.Banks only take care of themselves with the rest of the elite.
Grieder states the case you have to act,and now it is so easy a new beginning.All we have to do is stop immigration,that will be the new AMERICA.Do not let them B.S. you anymore.
GRIEDER has tried to help you help yourself.Maybe we should have a draft no exemp for the educated.Get rid of electorial college.Get rid of Federal Reserve it is a violation of the constitution.Put all government officials in prison who commit treason or violate the law of the U.S. no exception.We should be proud to be americans.A revolution to enforce the constitution.Read the declaration of independence,and right of man,common sense,Thomas Paine.God whoever he is bless america.
Always celebrate christ birthday if you are christian,merry

The minority are the manority,and they are in america?????????????????????????????????KEEP IT THAT WAY MULTIcultualism does not work on large scale.Look at the problems in north america and western Europe.What a joke.
Thing Haven't Changed Much.......2005-04-11
It has taken me several months, but I have finally finished reading Who Will Tell The People by William Greider. It wasn't an easy book to read, it deals with government policy, protocol, politics, economics, and history. However, it was a fascinating book, therefore I stayed with it as I read several other books in between its completion. I have been a fan of Greider's since I started reading his articles about politics and the economy in the pages of Rolling Stone.
It is amazing how accurate Greider's description of the failings of democracy is today, 12 years after the book had been published (1992)-not much has changed, especially during the build up to the November 2004 elections. Most of his examples come from the Carter-Regan-Bush administrations or before. But he does an amazing job of showing how the power of the people has been transferred over the years into the hands of the rich and powerful. However, he does provide examples of how these powerful forces have been overcome by grass roots movements, and he seems hopeful that someday the true spirit of democracy will be seen in government.
One of his biggest concerns is how government fails in its greatest role upholding laws:
"Corrective mechanisms that are supposed to prevent political manipulations have been purposely weakened. And public inherits a grave injustice: a government that will not faithfully perform its most basic function-enforcing laws." (107)
Corporations will often accept fines rather than changes business practices that are in opposition to laws passed by the government for the good of the people. How long did it take to get air bags installed as a matter of course in cars?
He goes on to look at the unseemly practice of government officials going from public office to corporations:
"The federal government as a whole ahs been reduced to a training camp for private enterprise-a school in which the students learn the skills and insider knowledge that will be most valuable to outside employers. Under those circumstances only the most dedicated civil servants-or the most incompetent-are willing to remain in the public's hire." (116)
I know every administration is guilty of this, but it seems more visible in this one with Condi Rice coming from Exxon and Dick Cheney from Halliburton. The first MBA president, who has run every company that he has led into the ground save the Texas Rangers, scares me-business leaders are beholden to their stockholders-everyone else has to fend for themselves, this model works well when you think of shareholders as the people who gave money to his campaign,
The Democrats are just as guilty of this as the Republicans as Greider discusses in his chapter "Who Owns The Democrats?" And it's the same sort of big business types who fund Democrat candidates. The move to the center economically happened long before Clinton. This in turn leads to the kind of corporate welfare documented here:
"As it turned out, General Electric was possibly the biggest single winner in Ronald Regan's celebrated tax cuts. It had corporate profits of $6.5 billion during 1981-1983 and, astonishingly, received a tax rebate of $283 million form the federal government. Its tax burden went from $330 million a year to minus $900 million a year-money the government now owed GE. By rough estimate, the 1981 tax legislation yielded as much as $1.3 billion for General Electric over several years and probably much more in the long run." (341-342)
In the chapter "The Closet Dictator" he discusses the dangers of globalism, a chapter I'll guess that led him to write his book on globalism, One World Ready Or Not. All in all, it was a very thought-provoking book. Actually, it riles me up, because there's so little we can do about it. I guess democracy is a sort of utopian goal that we have to constantly strive for.
History Proved Him Right.......2003-02-13
It's funny how some negative reviews of this book spoke about how wrong Greider was and how right corporate superheros like Jack Welch were. Now in 2003 as America struggles to rebuild after the savage [things] that these corporate overlords have done (Enron? Worldcom? Global Crossing?) we see just how accurate Greider's predications were. The men who rose to power in the 1990's didn't get there because they loved all humanity, they got there because they wanted power above all else. It wasn't the job or the love for their products, it was for money. If they had to fire tens of thouands of people, if they had to bankrupt the company, that was fine. THEY got to keep their millions in the form of Golden Parachutes. History has now born this simple truth out. Power doesn't neccesarilly corrupt, but absolutely corrupt people seek power at any cost.
Luddite Nonsense.......2001-12-16
Regurgitated Luddite foolishness from an economic ignoramus. This is the worst kind of populism, based not in love but in fear: "He is really big, but if you and I get together we can bop him." Mix that with the leitmotif of intellectuals ("How unfair that people like Jack Welch have influence: what were his grades in high school?" and "What a better place the world would be if we were in charge!") and you get the picture. It is amazing to me that this stuff still has an audience.

Book Description
International Reading Association Children's Book Award Winner Determined to sway high school officials to remove disparaging Indian mascots, Evan assumes a struggle that spirals him onto a soul-searching journey and exposes him to a barrage of bullying, taunts, and escalating violence.Marlene Carvell's striking first novel is a timely look at a true story of a mixed-race teen caught up in an exploration of his past, his culture, and his identity.

A Bit Dated.......2007-06-11
Evan is a high school student descended from Native Americans. His father's relatives still live on a reservation and Evan and his mother and brother visit them there. But other than this heritage, Evan is a pretty typical high school student.
But then, one day at a school pep rally, Evan finds himself really bothered by what he sees. His school's mascot is an Indian, a horrible caricature of Indian traditions. The mascot does clumsy Indian dances, wears a headband with feathers and shrieks out war whoops. The cheerleaders have their faces streaked with color to imitate war paint. Evan grows more and more embarrassed and upset as the pep rally continues, until he thinks he can't stand it anymore. He decides to try to do something about the situation.
Like his older brother did years before Evan when he was in high school, Evan goes to the school board to ask them to consider changing the school's mascot to something less offensive. Although he approaches them time and time again, they state that the members of the school take pride in their mascot and it isn't hurting anyone. Evan continues the fight, although he is harassed at school. Can one student win a battle against an entire town?
I liked that the story was told in poems, but each poem was detailed enough to give me a clear idea of what was going on. I liked the ending of this story, too.
I think this story is already a bit out of date, though. In our current state of political correctness, I don't think a school board would dare to refuse a request such as Evan's anymore.
Who Will Tell My Brother?.......2006-12-03
I think that this book is only ok. It is good because it helps people learn how to stand up for their race, and gain courage. But I did not like the author's style of writing which was in poem form, which made it difficult for me to enjoy the book.
A Book That Will Stay In Your Mind.......2006-04-25
Who Will Tell My Brother, by Marlene Carvell, is a thought provoking novel written in the Karen Hesse (Out of the Dust) blank verse style. It tells the tale of Evan, a high school senior of Native American heritage, and his struggle with the powers that be in an attempt to remove the offensive Indian school mascot. Carvell's vivid description of the "painted face with empty eyes" picture of the mascot brings the point home clearly that Native Americans are living people as Evan struggles with his heritage and the hatred from his fellow students. The school board also does not understand why Evan is taking this matter so seriously and tell him "Racism is matter of opinion."
Evan's older brother, Jacob, was the first student to attempt to change the mascot, but now is away at college. The title of the story is the main plot point as Evan must tell his brother about a terrible and violent act done to scare Evan away from continuing his struggle. The violence changes the opinion of the majority of the student body from supporting the mascot to silently protesting the mascot's presence at graduation.
Carvell's use of verse was very moving in describing Evan's emotions as he stood up for what he believed in. The act of violence is devastating and will stay with the reader long after they've completed the story. Evan's courage and inner strength will also stay with readers who stand up for what is right.
The Mascot.......2005-11-22
This book is about a typical boy named Evan. He is a senior in High School. At the school the mascot is an Indian. Evan's ancestors are Indians and he feels that the mascot is very offensive and racial. He tries to go to the school board many times to persuade them to agree that the mascot is offensive. Because Evan is trying to get rid of the mascot many of the other students at school taunt and bully him. HE is constantly being taunted because of what he thinks. You have to read the book to find out what happens to Evan and see if they get rid of the mascot.
In the book I liked that Evan never gives up, and he keeps on trying even though he is being taunted so much. In the book I didn't like he was bullied all the time. I also didn't like that when he was taunted only half the time someone would step in and help him.
I think that people that like books that are in poem form would like this book. I think that if you like books that are about people never giving up and are fighting for what they believe in would like this book.
Beautiful!.......2004-05-31
This is one of the most beautifully created books I have ever read in my entire life. It's sort of wierd how it's written in poetry, but once you start reading it, you can't stop, and you'll start to understand it more. I encourage every sing soul to read this book. Male and female both young and old--you will truly be blessed.

From the supplier: The advent of radical changes in broadcasting and telecommunications is building tension between the Federal Communications Commission, the rest of the govt, and private companies, but not attracting much media attention. Led by Newt Gingrich, Congress advocates a free-market approach and talks at times of abolishing the FCC. Critics of the media say it already does a poor job of covering itself, but congressional proposals might encourage the growth of mega-conglomerates with little interest in self-investigation.

Book Description
This is a completely new in-depth field guide to the 1,070 bird species, including North American migrants, found in Mexico, Guatemala, Belize, El Salvador, Honduras, and western Nicaragua. More than 180 species are endemic to this region and the book details their appearance, voice, habitat, behaviour (including nests and eggs) and distribution. Range maps are included with species accounts, and introductory essays give essential background information, with special appendices summarizing useful information on the avifaunas of various offshore Pacific and Caribbean islands. The Guide's striking illustrations include 71 colour plates and 39 black-and-white drawings, based on the authors' field experience and in many cases detailing plumages never before illustrated. Authoritative and up-to-date, this is an essential reference work for every birdwatchers' collection.
Customer Reviews:
OK, but not great........2007-06-16
As many have said, kind of big and bulky for a "field guide". Lacking pictures of shore birds, sea birds, etc. Has good info as far as habitats, etc.
results of clinical field trial.......2007-03-23
This is the definitive text for any even halfway serious birder in the region covered. Although a bit heavy to lug around in a backpack (especially if you are carrying a spotting scope as well), it is an indispensable reference once you get back.
Note: It does not have illustrations of many birds that are found in the US, so I was very glad that I had brought Sibley's Guide along as well. Between the two, I was able to identify with confidence nearly every bird I saw. If I had had only the smaller field guide, I would have been making a lot of educated guesses.
A Guide to the Birds of Mexico .......2007-03-18
The book has a lot of information on the birds and their habitat. Illustrations of the birds are restricted to the "plates" section.
Almost Excellent.......2007-01-03
This book is excellent for a trip to Mexico; however be warned, some of the most common birds are not pictured in the plates. While all of the species not found in the US have colorful plates, there are no plates for waterbirds such as gulls and no plates for the warblers or flycatchers other than endemics; however, there are descriptions and location maps for all birds found in Mexico. If you visit during migration, and have trouble remembering fall plumage distinctions on migrating warblers, be sure to bring a Sibley or Peterson guide along with you as well!
Packed with information --not user friendly.......2006-09-20
A large volume, not easily used, in the field. The authors presume a good knowledge of North American birds--so you need a Sibley in addition. Unfortunately carrying the Sibley will remind you of how much more difficult to use this volume is.
It lacks any drawings of NA birds such as Little Blue Heron, Tri-colored Heron, Whistling Ducks, Arizona Woodpeckers, Blue-Headed Vireo, Purple Gallinule, numerous sparrows, etc.
Almost no attempt to separate diagnostic marks from more general field marks.
The information on endemics is in here,organized in the Petersen style, plates separated from descriptions and maps. And it is exhaustive in depth.
But as a field guide it badly needs to be reworked in the Sibley fashion or Sinclair's Birds of Southern Africa.
Book Description
Covering the thirty-six species of gulls that occur in North and South America, this unparalleled resource includes detailed identification information for the many plumages gulls display as they mature. More than just a field guide, this large and ambitious volume is the definitive reference work on gulls of the Americas. A group of birds that is popular among birdwatchers, gulls can be frustrating to identify, as they can take up to four years to mature, with different plumages each year. With 1,160 photographs illustrating these plumages, and descriptions by two of North America’s top gull experts, this new reference guide is the authoritative word on gulls.
Customer Reviews:
Simply the best gull guide........2007-09-11
This is a heavy book, so it will not be practical to carry as a field guide. Other than that, this is by far the most up to date, best researched guide to Gulls that you will find today.
I am an avid bird watcher and hopeless collector of bird guides, and this one sets the bar for a family specific guide. Outstanding photos and precise text make this guide a must have for any serious watcher of Gulls.
The best book on gulls EVER!.......2007-08-24
This is the best book on gulls ever! There are at least ten full color, extremely detailed photos for each species. On the captions for the photo it names the bird and gives what state of its life it is at, it describes the photo of the bird, and it gives the location, and date of the photo and the photographers name. On some photos there is a gull in the background and so that adds a little test to the book.
The species accounts are exquisite, and the range maps are amazingly detailed.
I recommend this book to every birder! Especially those of you who wish to go looking for rarities.
This book is a must for beginner birders and experts too!
Premier Gull Guide.......2007-08-05
This book is great for gull fanciers; it's exhaustively researched and presented but heavy to use in the field.
Valuable information but may be hard to digest.......2007-07-07
"Gulls of the Americas" is packed with information, but this book isn't much fun. I suspect only hard-core gull watchers will want to use this book.
There is a very useful introductory section, and the authors encourage their readers to study the introduction before moving on to the rest of the book, but I suspect many readers will find their eyes glazing over before they get very far. The main part of the book is divided into a 251 page section of photos and a 192 page section of species accounts. The photos do a good job of illustrating the various plumages of the gulls, but the photos are small, and aren't really a lot of fun to look at. The species accounts are thorough and clearly written but rather dry. The photos and species accounts are separate, and it can be awkward to go back and forth between them. I expect this book will come in handy when I come across gulls that are difficult to identify, but I wish the people who put together the book had made it more user-friendly.
Wow! So much information, so many pictures........2007-06-10
Gull identification is complicated and difficult. This book is jam packed full of many, many details about Gull identification. It has exceeded my expectations with its wealth of information and excellent photos. The authors are clearly experts and have dedicated a significant portion of their lives to the sometimes esoteric and always intriguing world of gull identification. The book also provides an excellent introduction (which is a must read if you are to get the most out of it) that gives a background on the details of molt cycles, feather tract terms, etc...
This book is not a field guide, it is truly a reference guide as the title clearly states. It is a large format hardcover (with dust jacket) book printed on high quality glossy paper. This is a book that you study at home and maybe keep in the car as a reference.
In summary it is a worthy addition to any birders library and a book that would make its namesake (that is Roger not Rodger) Tory Peterson proud.

Book Description
In the past two centuries, cowbirds have increased in numbers and extended their range across North America, while many of the native songbird species whose nests they parasitize to raise their young have declined. This timely book collects forty essays by most of the principal authorities on the biology and management of cowbirds. The book's goals are to explore the biology of cowbirds, the threats they pose to host species and populations, and the management programs that are being undertaken to minimize these threats.
The book is organized into five sections, each with an extended editors' introduction that places the contributions in a broad, up-to-date setting. The sections cover:
- The changing abundance of cowbirds and the ways in which their numbers can be estimated.
- Host choice by cowbirds, the negative effects of cowbirds on particular host species, and the daily patterns of cowbird behavior.
- Behavioral interactions between cowbirds and specific host species.
- Patterns of cowbird abundance and host use across varying landscapes.
- Management programs designed to control cowbirds and protect threatened songbirds.

Great book for any curious bird watcher!.......1999-09-20
Although this is strictly designed as a children's book, this book is actually an excellent refrence for bird watchers of all ages (I'm 14, and I use it all the time!). It has easy identification to about 50 kinds of North American "backyard" birds. Great for any bird enthusiast!
