This is a pretty radical book because it explains in clear language the sordid history and broken idea of software patents. It's really not bad for a book by a member of a think tank -- Brookings if I recall. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/9556474 to: The Revolution Will Not Be Funded: Beyond the Non-Profit Industrial Complex (Paperback) by INCITE! Women of Color Against Violence

I bought this book at a non-profit "peace and justice center" not too long after starting a new job at a not-for-profit organization. It has a lot of good historical analysis by each of the contributors so far. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/8999968 Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach (2nd Edition) by Stuart J.

For a book published in the early 1980s, it has some devestating conclusions about eating disorders. And one can only assume the descriptions of oppression have only worsened.

Provides strong ammunition that smashing annorexia and bulimia will require an entire society's reawekening about gender power and cultural attitudes. Support groups and therapy offer important treatment to the disease, but it needs to be cured.

Witch burning, Victorian purity, sexual slavery, genital mutilation, domestic violence, foot binding. The struggle to be thin is the latest "dirty little secret" of modern culture. ]]>
