faint heart ne'er won fair laddie
And Patrick is never faint of heart. Witty, wise, deeply moving - usually all in the same 1 act play. And you get 7 plays here. My ex still hasn't given this volume back, and I hardly have the heart to ask for it, as I wish hir all the best, and this is the best... OK, I've changed my mind, either put out or give me one of my favorite books back you cur!

"Sex may be safe, but love never is."
So concludes a wisecracking AIDS recluse in the last of these hilarious and heartbreaking one-act plays. Each one covers a decade in the lives of American gay men, from the sophisticated closets of the 1920's through ourgrimmest hour in the 1980's. Patrick may see little progress towardliberation, whether political or personal. But each decade is etchedspecifically and urgently, by a master playwright. You'll shed many a tearover this one, half of them from laughter. ... Read more

Product Description
Wealth, Work, and Health takes as its inspiration the illustrious career of F. Thomas Juster, former Director of the University of Michigan's Institute for Social Research. Juster devoted forty years to the question of how to measure behavior by asking people questions about the objective and subjective circumstances of their lives. During those same years, his innovative work in retirement decisions, allocation of time, and distribution of wealth influenced a new generation of scholars in the social sciences.
Chapters in the volume address advances in measurement as well as disciplinary attitudes toward various forms of measurement--for example, the resistance of economics to qualitative measurements. Specific topics include measurement of expenditures and wealth; lifetime earnings, saving choices, and wealth at retirement; inheritances and bequests; impact of education and heart attack on smoking cessation among older adults; and intergenerational transfers. Crossing many disciplinary lines, this rich volume should be of interest to economists--especially those interested in health--sociologists, and demographers.

Product Description
Christian Samito writes in his introduction: "In reading Guiney’s words, one can have a fuller appreciation of what motivated civilians to volunteer to fight a war and of the privations they suffered in service to their country."

These are the collected Civil War letters of Patrick Robert Guiney, an Irish immigrant from Country Tipperary who relocated to Boston, Massachusetts.When the Civil War broke out, Guiney volunteered to defend the Union and, quickly rose from First Lieutenant to Colonel, to command the ninth Massachusetts regiment.A fervent supporter of Lincoln and passionately opposed to slavery, Guiney felt that, in his service to his new country, he was doing his part to gain freedom for the slaves.Being politically outspoken, Guiney was often criticized for his views by other Irish-Americans.His letters reveal not only the experiences and thoughts of an Irish Catholic soldier, but also the hidden tensions within his immigrant community.His views and observations not only illuminate his personal independence of thought, but also the political landscape which he tried to improve. ...

Samito's Take
This is an excellent book. My great-grandfather was a bootmaker in company K of the 9th Mass and I've collected every document I can find on the 9th's existance. The insights this book offers are priceless. Samito has done a wonderful job.

Can't wait for the movie!
Mr. Samito's work is a careful examination of a tumultuous period inAmerican history, and a compelling human drama. Would make a great movie-better than Braveheart or The Patriot!!

A must read
This compelling book truly transported me to the nineteenth century.Mr. Samito eloquently presented the words of this little known figure in a truly remarkable fashion.The history community is truly in debt to Mr. Samito for uncovering these long lost treasures of the nations past.Any history "Buff" worth their salt needs to read this book.I only hope Mr. Samito continues to produce works of this quality for some time to come.Ken Cooper

I loved this book!
I don't normally read historical books, especialy ones about little known Civil War generals, but this one came highly recommended by a friend so I gave it a shot.I was won over immediately!As it turned out, the life of Patrick Guiney was remarkable and compelling.His letters to his wife were eloquent and heartwarming, and his courage in the face of what must have been a very painful injury was inspiring.Samito's editing was never intrusive, and elucidated the more ambiguous aspects of the text.I found his explication of the Boston cultural and political scene of the time to be particularly insightful.Overall, a surprisingly good read!
