Production And Consumption Rest Of The World
589 wordsThis book was definitely an informative and very detailed history of sugar production and consumption, but, most assuredly, it would not even rate in my top 1, 000 books to read list. Let me say first though, Mintz did an excellent job of researching the topic for this book. But, he seemed to concentrate most of his points on the British, with only vague mention of the rest of the world. Furthermore, the format he used proved to be a bit confusing throughout most of the book. Finally, this book ...

A diverse collection of doc...

Bertolucci Chooses Borges Plot Story
790 wordsThere are a number of differences between Bernardo Bertolucci's movie The Spider Stratagem and the story on which it is based, Jorge Louis Borges The Theme of The Traitor and The Hero; however, overall Bertolucci does a pretty accurate portrayal of the essence, at least, of Borges story.

This is very much due to that the story is simply a suggestive piece, while the movie had to fill in all of the...
