I was expecting to be blown away given some of the press reviews I'd read.While this is definitely worth a watch, it does not live up to the hype. Posted on August 23, 2011 Brittani Dobrowski says... This book was a big disappointment. I bought it thinking that my daughter who just returned from Bolivia would enjoy having it as a coffee table book. It is more like a 5th grade social studies book and not worth the $29.00 at all!! I do not reccommend this book. Posted on August 24, 2011 Angele Custer says... As a college student doing research on Bolivia, this text provided an excellent framework for my overall understanding of Bolivia's development. The book is both accurate and interesting, and provides a broad overview that includes virtually every important development in Bolivian history. There is also an excellent bibliography. Excellent resource, highly recommended Posted on August 24, 2011 Davis Michell says... William Powers' book gave me knowledge that only an individual with personal experience in his subject area can give.Going into the Bolivian Amazon, the author brought with him preconceived notions of how the environment there should best be handled for the benefit of all. He left knowing that no program there would be a success unless the long-held beliefs, perceptions, and practices of indigenous peoples were incorporated into such a program. I found Power's enlightenment both exciting and encouraging.His experience means that the rest of us can can be enlightened as well, if only we want to be.It also clarified why some 'green' projects are doomed from the beginning, i.e. when local issues are ignored or mishandled. In addition, this book is very well written and a pleasure to read. Highly recommended. Posted on August 25, 2011 Anthony Koroch says... I am a 27 year old who enjoys geography, history, sociology, etc.This series of geography books is very informative for both kids and adults.BUT, it is actually a 5th grade social studies type book.That's exactly what it is.Don't give it a bad review because you thought it was something else.I am a college graduate who enjoys this series. Posted on August 26, 2011 Elly Kaid says... I bought this film and was very disappointed don't make the same mistake I did.do not buy it a tremendous wasted of money the theme is important but this ia a treatment demasiado corritente nada especially Posted on August 26, 2011 Jeanice Bruton says... Whispering in the Giant's Ear: A Frontline Chronicle from Bolivia's War on Globalization by William Powers. I found out more information about him on his website[...]. The book covers the author's experiences on the ground in Bolivia over the country's dramatic last five years. The book is eloquently written, filled with anecdotes from Mr. Powers' time there, and many other essential details one should know when visiting this lesser known place. This book provides a highly readable history of Bolivia and its current challenges. Additionally, it provides a detailed look into the relationship between a "gringo" do-gooder and the locals. It's a must read for anyone planning on visiting Bolivia any time soon. Posted on August 28, 2011 Sharon Winemiller says... The book is really good if you're looking for a way to enter the study of Bolivian politics. Though I found that in the end, it should have stressed more the political rise of the coca leaf peasants trade unions and party. Posted on August 29, 2011 Avis Breitenbucher says... Director Israel Adrian Caetano was born in 1969, and has won several movie awards,but this is his directorial debut, 2001.Filmed in black and white the plot is little, the actors are excellent, and the social message is clear. It is the words that invoke so much anger, hate, jealousy, shame, by those struggling with economic and personal hardships.And inevitably, those words provoke the worst of man.The film is not gripping in action, but gripping in its message, words, reality, and pain all go through surviving. Filmed in a Brazilian caf Posted on August 29, 2011 Luis Ronning says... I guess I have a bone to pick with this title, as I'm the author of at least 90% of the background information; I wrote the first four editions of this book, but failed to receive any author credit this time around. However, the newly inserted practical information seems to be solid, despite the fact that the new updater(s) lacked much time to put it together and Lonely Planet's new format dictated the deletion of lots of information that I'd consider both useful and entertaining - and in some cases essential. I'm sorry to see what has happened to 'my baby' (this was the first book I wrote for Lonely Planet), but that's through no fault of the current updater(s). In fact, I believe it's still the best available guide to Bolivia. Happy travels in that wonderfully enigmatic country! Posted on August 30, 2011 Leave a Comment |
