Annotation
This is a wonderful collection of quality photographs taken over the years by Carl Fleishhauer, and enhanced with some brief, but appropriate commentary from Mr. Rosenberg. The book covers the years 1966-86 only, with emphasis on the late 60s and the 1970s, and it’s great to see a good visual documentation of an exciting time when Bluegrass was both struggling and thriving and such a part of some people’s lives. In this well-presented, well printed book Fleishhauer really captures the essence & excitement of a unique period

Annotation
Magnum photographers are among the best in the world, and fortunately for us and for history, a lot of them were in New York City on Sept.11. The photo agency had brought several of them into town for a meeting the day before. Many of these highly experienced photojournalists raced to the site or to other spots in the city when they heard or saw the planes hit the towers, and our knowledge of the disaster is so much deeper for their efforts. Together, through their different personal lenses, they’ve compiled an important historical record of the attack and its effects on the city. This book is a wonderful collection of pictures

Annotation
This volume introduces the gender dimension in the empirical analyses on the links between trade and poverty. Gender disparities, an important component of overall inequality, may limit the gains from trade and the potential benefits to poor people. This view is supported by the robust finding that while growth (as well as the gains from trade) is the major vehicle of lifting people out of poverty, it is more likely to be pro-poor when initial inequality is low. High inequality directly lowers the rate of poverty reduction by hindering growth.Ample evidence shows that, in spite of recent improvements, there are still large gender disparities in access to education, health, credit, and other resources.
