Moore's Paths to Modernity
By ChairmanLuedtke
Democratic and totalitarian states might differ on key variables, but both are modern - resting on industrial civilization & the commercialization of agriculture. But how they got there is another matter. At the most general level, Barrington Moore Jr.'s "Social Origins of Dictatorship and Democracy" seeks to explain differing national paths towards this modernity. More specifically, he seeks to analyze the evolution of modern political systems through their social, economic and institutional bases. Even more specifically, he posits a bold thesis that the particular relationship between peasants and landowners in a given country, more than any other factor, determines whether that country will eventually become democratic, communist, or fascist. And more specifically still, Moore argues that in countries where landowners were able to secure political power independent of the crown, and become bourgeois managers of commercial agriculture in a way that created minimal political grievance among those who worked the land, then the result was capitalist democracy. However, in countries like Russia, China, Germany and Japan where this process was halted, forced, abortive, or out of sequence, then the result was dictatorship. In the communist cases, this dictatorship came about through a revolution from below, spurred on by disgruntled peasants against a non-commercial, non-bourgeois landowning class; while in the fascist cases the modern revolution came down from "above" as landowning elites used the tools of the state (preindustrial bureaucracy) to impose modernity on a politically powerless peasantry.
In proving his argument, Moore gives evidence in the following manner: "the inevitable analytical necessity of isolating certain manageable areas of history can lead to partial truths that are misleading and even false unless and until one subsequently puts them back into their proper context" (224). In other words, Moore recognizes that his relative historical isolation of the landowner/peasant relationship can obscure a whole range of other factors from the analysis (international relations, culture, religion, etc.). Therefore, due to the acknowledged danger posed by such an isolation, much of his book is spent "re-situating" the landowner/peasant relationship back into its particular national context (through his detailed case studies) in order to "control" for other variables like religion and culture by showing their importance to be only secondary at best in explaining paths to modernity. Because of this richly detailed method, one can say that Moore is quite methodologically sophisticated. He acknowledges both the value of Marxist class analysis, and the value of Weberian consciousness analysis, without falling prey to their economic and cultural determinism - or without falling prey to determinism of any kind, for that matter: "All of this does not of course mean that some inexorable fate drove Germany toward fascism from the sixteenth century onward, that the process never could have been reversed" (436).
Furthermore, Moore warns of the dangers of excessive methodological quantification. His case studies are not shy about using statistics to prove their claims, but he consistently offers a healthy dose of skepticism against researchers overly reliant on numerical data (using partial truths that are misleading and false outside their context, to paraphrase his earlier quote). Moore is also fond of the occasional counterfactual to illustrate his historical claims, as shown in one of the research questions that underpin his inquiry: "is this activity necessary to the society? What would happen if it stopped or changed?" (471). For instance, he asserts that America's "capitalist revolution" (the Civil War) could not have happened if northern industrialists had not been able to build a political coalition with western farmers, against the South, by awarding them free land. Therefore, if the western territories had not been open to settlement, then America's capitalist revolution might have been delayed or irrevocably shattered.
On the whole, Moore displays a broad knowledge of the existing literature in his citations, as he reviews a wide body of work on each of the cases studied. The only glaring problem with his methodology per se is that its obvious grand historical/comparative focus makes for a lack of parsimony and exactitude. The book is full of linguistic qualifiers ("largely", "partially", "may have been", etc.), vague, ambiguous, semi-causal arguments like "considerations such as these show the difficulty of connecting the specific terms landlord and peasant to any general notion of social classes" (190), and weak theory-building statements such as "the instability of French democracy during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries is partly due to this fact" (426) (without, of course, specifying what causes might make up the other part(s) of the explanation). In Moore's defense, however, one would have to admit that a grand comparative work such as his cannot bother to empirically sketch out the causal relationship at work in each and every local, regional and historical micro-case.
A further strong point of Moore's work is its predictive power. While the road to modernity has ended for the countries in question, there are still countries today that are dealing with the same kinds of landlord/peasant issues as they attempt to commercialize agriculture in line with economic globalization. Furthermore, the political lessons of the book can even shape our future understanding of his six cases themselves, as they evolve beyond modernity. For instance, Moore prophetically (for 1966) states that "contemporary Chinese society, despite severe difficulties and setbacks, shows signs of moving ahead. By learning from Soviet mistakes, China could conceivably surpass Russia" (230). And now they have. While Moore's theory would not have predicted China's post-Soviet success with any statistical exactitude, it is a measure of Moore's perceptiveness as a historically grounded comparativist that he could even arrive at such a speculation.

Remarkable Comparative History
By Virgil
In "Social Origins", Barrington Moore conducts a study of economic, social and political change in the modern era. Moore survey's modern societies from England to Japan comparing social and economic structures with emphasis on class stratification.
Moore uses a hybrid Marxist analysis and turns it on its head by finding common conditions favorable to democracies and conditions that lead to fascist and commmunist dictatorships. Moore finds some common factors to successful transition to include a need for social change to accompany technological change, the strength of a "middle class" and the need to address the concerns of agrarian society.
In the end Moore believes that the industrial change took place at great cost in every society. The key to successful transistion to democracy was in how this "industrial revolution" was implemented.
Whether one agrees totally or not, "Social Origins" never ceases to be stimulating in its analysis.

A good class based analysis
By David Sobek
Moore is an intellectual tour de force. In this book he attempts to explain how democracy developed in some states, while other, seemingly similar, states turned to fascism and authoritarianism. While I certainly cannot cogently summarize Moore in a small paragraph, it remains a book and an argument that needs dissemination. In general, the key to understanding how states develop is to understand the balance of class power within each society. The choice of regime, or rather the regime type that develops within a state, is determined by the dominant class and with whom that class aligns. According to Moore democracy develops if the bourgeoisie gains enough power to break the hold of the aristocracy and the failure to do so can not only doom democracy, but it also raises the possibility of fascism. Moore supplements his theoretical augments with an ample amount of well-analyzed historical case studies. In the end, even if one does not agree with his arguments or conclusions, the book still needs to be read, understood, and engaged by anyone who wants to understand democratization.

HIS GIFT IS TO FIND MISSING PEOPLEBUT HE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT HE'S MISSING UNTIL SHE CAME

An Earthbound Angel who has the ability to find missing people, Graeme St. Paul has become a reliable private investigator. He learns to be a man, and learns to appreciate beautiful women, but none of them interests him enough to keep around.

Then Graeme is hired by a very rich man to locate the half-sister he hadn’t known existed until his father’s sudden death. It’s just another missing person’s case to him—until he meets Kiara Shannon.

Even dirty and disheveled, Kiara is feisty, brave, mysterious—and very beautiful underneath her act of bravado. She's done everything she can to make sure her kid brother Ronan will not be taken from her. After he's saved them and brings them home, he finds out there is more to the siblings's story than what he's been told, and that an unknown danger is the reason behind their hiding.

Graeme will protect them as much as he can, but the fierceness of his protection isn't just because he wanted to be good. He can sense a very human feeling between him and Kiara, something he was both afraid and excited about.

Is he finally experiencing that human state commonly known as being "in love"?

As he looked around the very large room, he saw a couple of bare mattresses lying on the floor along with an assortment of blankets. There was what looked to be a propane camping stove and some things that looked like a couple of eating utensils and plates. There were boxes and other things that he was unable to identify.

“Look,” she said, her voice hard but husky, trying with difficulty to show bravado, “let me get him settled and then I’ll settle up with you.”

She took the boy by the hand again and led him over to one of the mattresses. As Graeme watched, she put his crackers and deviled ham on a plate and spoke softly to him. But her face was cold and hard again when she turned around and walked back over to him.

“Okay, follow me.”

Graeme did follow her but not for the reasons she thought. When they were out of sight of the boy, she turned to face him with a determined look on her face.

She also looked very pale. And this time, she was not looking at him.

With trembling hands, she reached for the waist of his jeans.

Graeme just couldn’t let that go on. His hands reached and gripped her wrist, stopping her from touching him.

She jumped and wide eyes flew to his face.

He lived as an angel for what constituted like eternity to humans like this woman, and that should be enough for him to feel validated about where his conscience stood.

But as she looked at him like that, he felt like he was really a very bad person....

About the Author
The moment Sandra Ross held her first romance novel when she was ten, she knew she was going to write romance. At thirty now, a prolific reader and a freelance writer, she's since then expanded her preferences from just romance to romance with a dash of now trending sub-genres--paranormal , fantasy, sci-fi even, and erotica. She loves challenging herself and would write on a dare. On a normal day, she would be found in her herb garden collecting spices for her kitchen or ingredients for her potions; in her huge eclectic Provencal kitchen with the big modern oven cooking pots and pans of food for her family of one husband and three kids (an ardent daughter and two boisterous sons) that'll probably last for weeks; in her library with floor-to-ceiling bookshelves and an e-reader in her hands as she reads the latest short story erotic hit; or scribbling pages upon pages of different erotic lifestyles, searching for the one that feels like it was inspired by just the right mix of passion, storyline, and sex. She loves going crazy on weekend nights with the hubby. Aside from these activities, the rest of the time she'd be found in front of her laptop typing the latest Sandra Ross concoction for her readers.

Outstanding Characters and Storyline!
By Cheri Clay
“As he watched them, he found himself getting angrier all the time. How does something like this happen, he wondered. He knew that humanity was given everything it needed to survive. But this happened because some people let it happen. There wasn’t enough love practiced to come around.”

Handsome Graeme St. Paul was an angel, but now is earthbound. He and his group of friends are determined to do what is right and good to change the humans of earth. Each one of the group seems to have a super power and Graeme is no exception. As a private investigator “finding missing people was what he did best. It was his special calling and he never failed to find the missing person he’s meant to locate.” This time he is hired by Jefferson Graves of Graves Enterprises. Their father has passed away and finding out in his will there is a sister they didn’t know about, he hires Graeme to find her. What he finds rips his heart ,out and he knows he must do all he can to help Kiara and her brother Ronan. All the while Graeme wonders if he is falling in love with her.

This story is truly amazing the ultimate page-turner as you can’t help but get caught up in the storyline. My heart broke at Kiara and Ronan’s story, and after finding out why Ronan doesn’t talk, I want Graeme to solve the mystery of their mother’s murder and turn their lives around. The possible hint of romance is played cautiously well that neither one is sure what is happening. Overall a great read. The characters are outstanding, there's an exceptional storyline, and it's a wonderful novel to pass the time.

A fantastic first book!
By Ellaine
This was such a nice read. In all honesty, I thought those two girls in the prequel will be included here. Who knows they're just an instrument for Graeme St. Paul to figure out what he wants to do while he's here in our world? His new world? Enter Graeme St. Paul, now a charming private investigator who I'll let investigate me (I'm joking oh my god hahaha he's just my kind of guy – er um, earthbound angel).

Anyways, so he was hired to find the half-sister of this rich woman, yeah? He thought it was just another 'find-the-missing-person-and-bring-her-back-to-get-paid' thing that's the main highlight of his job. Little did he know, he'll met a girl named Kiara, a feisty strong woman who won't take crap from anyone. But beneath her strong bravado, she's beautiful and protective of her brother Ronan. Soon, Graeme felt something for this girl, something he hasn't expect to feel for a lifetime of being an angel. Is it pity, a sense of camaraderie, or love? I don't actually care! This book is so intense that it will make you feel like you're in some kind of trance – a love trance. Her writing technique is polish, and the plot seems to move forward to the right direction even if it's still the first book. So, all in all, this is a good book recommended for people who wants to have a taste in heaven – in our world.

Intriguing story of angels and mortals
By Ronda Salazar
Graeme St. Paul is a very wealthy, single man who specializes in locating missing people. When he is approached by Jefferson Graves with a missing persons case, Graeme agrees to look into it. Kiara Shannon is the daughter of the man who owned Graves Enterprises. The owner has deceased, and now the three sons of this man are running the company.

Since there is an estate to be divided amongst the remaining children of Mr. Graves, Jefferson is interested in locating Kiara so that she can have her fair share of the estate.

Graeme manages to find Kiara, who appears to have been living on the streets for some time. Graeme finds Kiara just by chance, but he is surprised to find a new twist in the story: Kiara has a young boy with her that she obviously cares about and takes care of.

Be sure to read this story and find out how Graeme actually finds Kiara, and what her reaction is when she sees Graeme’s enormous estate. You will not want to miss this one!

Review
"…his book is well written and contains a great deal of information that is of value…." (The Technical Analyst, May/June 2007)

From the Inside Flap
As an approach to research, technical analysis has suffered because it is a "discipline" practiced without discipline. In order for technical analysis to deliver useful knowledge that can be applied to trading, it must evolve into a rigorous observational science.

Over the past two decades, numerous articles in respected academic journals have approached technical analysis in a scientifically rigorous and intellectually honest manner, and now, Evidence-Based Technical Analysis looks to continue down this path. Organized into two parts, this valuable resource first establishes the methodological, philosophical, and statistical foundations of evidenced-based technical analysis (EBTA), and then demonstrates this approach—by using twenty-five years of historical data to test 6,400 binary buy/sell rules on the S&P 500.

Evidence-Based Technical Analysis examines how you can apply the scientific method, and recently developed statistical tests, to determine the true effectiveness of technical trading signals. Throughout these pages, expert David Aronson details this new type of technical analysis that—unlike traditional technical analysis—is restricted to objective rules, whose historical profitability can be quantified and scrutinized.

Filled with in-depth insights and practical advice, Evidence-Based Technical Analysis provides you with comprehensive coverage of this new methodology, which is specifically designed for evaluating the performance of rules/signals that are discovered by data mining. Experimental results presented in the book will show you that data mining—a process in which many rules are back-tested and the best performing rules are selected—is an effective procedure for discovering useful rules/signals. However, since the historical performance of the rules/signals discovered by data mining are upwardly biased, new statistical tests are required to make reasonable inferences about future profitability. Two such tests, one of which has never been discussed anywhere heretofore, are described and illustrated.

If you want to use technical analysis to navigate today's markets, you must first abandon the subjective, interpretive methods traditionally associated with this discipline, and embrace an approach that is scientifically and statistically valid. Grounded in objective observation and statistical inference, EBTA is the approach to technical analysis you need to succeed in your trading endeavors.

From the Back Cover
Praise for EVIDENCE-BASED TECHNICAL ANALYSIS

"In clear language, Aronson demonstrates the theoretical flaws in interpretative technical analysis methodologies, the flawed premises and conclusions of the Efficient Market Hypothesis, and the appropriate techniques for developing and testing technical analysis methods that do have validity. Readers will learn a lot from this book."
—Jack Schwager, author of Market Wizards and the Schwager on Futures book series

"Aronson's explanation of data mining is a must-read for every analyst, and his overall discussion of statistical inference is critical to success. The book is filled with commonsense examples and provides a testing and validation process that saves time, frustration, and money."
—Perry Kaufman, author of New Trading Systems and Methods, Fourth Edition

"This book debunks many of the myths of technical analysis. One should read this book before buying a technical system. The book is a good reference to the literature on the subject with extensive footnotes and bibliography."
—Sandor Straus, Managing Member, Merfin, LLC

"You may not agree with everything David Aronson says in this controversial, but compelling new study. Still, every trader who wants to invest technical analysis with the dignity of a great science should read this discerning account."
—Nelson Freeburg, Editor, Formula Research

"There are illusions of the mind that are every bit as real as optical illusions. Aronson's criticisms of popular forms of technical analysis are right on target."
—Fred Gehm, author of Quantitative Trading and Money Management

Great book
By Mike Carr, CMT
In this thought-provoking work, David Aronson tests more than 6,400 technical analysis rules and finds that none of them offer statistically significant returns when applied to trading the S&P 500. This result, presented at the end of his work, is not disappointing to dedicated students of technical analysis who draw from the book not a new trading technique but instead take away a new, and more effective, approach to system development and trading. Those seeking the single best indicator or day trading pattern will be disappointed after reading Evidence-Based Technical Analysis, just as they will be disappointed in their trading until they advance beyond seeking the Holy Grail of Trading.

Most books and articles about technical analysis focus on applying a specific technique in pursuit of success in the markets. This one is different in that it outlines an entirely new process of thinking, and through the application of this new thought process, success can be attained. Part I of Evidence-Based Technical Analysis is called, "Methodological, Psychological, Philosophical, and Statistical Foundations" and Aronson uses this title as an outline to define the processes which should underlie system development.

The scientific method changed the world, and made the advances of modern society possible. Until now, technical analysis has been considered more of an art than a science to many practitioners and escaped the scrutiny of the scientific method. With recent advances in computing power and analysis software, it is now possible for virtually anyone to search through years of data and identify seemingly profitable trading rules. Aronson presents the scientific method, combined with the philosophy of science as explained by Karl Popper, as an antidote to this very real danger.

Well designed experiments in any scientific inquiry are based upon a verifiable hypothesis grounded in detailed observations. Popper contributed the concept of falsification to this framework, which readily lends itself to mechanical trading system design. As Aronson writes, "Popper's central contention was that a scientific inquiry was unable to prove a hypothesis to be true. Rather, science was limited to identifying which hypotheses were false."

In technical analysis, we can never prove that if the NYSE Advance-Decline Line reaches a new high, the Dow Jones Industrial Average will always be higher thirty days later. But, we can test this hypothesis to see if it is not true. This simple example illustrates the beginning of Aronson's scientific approach to the markets.

Many of the dangers of data mining and curve fitting are grounded in psychology, and Aronson thoroughly explains many of the common problems that can contribute to inaccurate observations. Carefully studying his sections on logic and psychology should lead to better market observations, which should lead to profitable systems.

The chapters on statistical analysis are worth more than the price of the book in itself. Aronson presents a clear primer on statistics, and leaves the reader with all they need to understand how to design a statistically valid experiment. In what may very well be a publishing first, he presents clear, detailed and understandable descriptions of bootstrap and Monte Carlo randomization methods.

This book is well-researched and presents actionable ideas to advance the study of technical analysis. Although none of the rules Aronson tested proved to be statistically significant, he helpfully devotes a section to explaining the limitations of his test results. Armed with this information, and the knowledge provided in the rest of the book, the thoughtful analyst can develop better insights into the market and perform better backtests to identify profitable strategies.

Required reading for professional investors
By Vampa
David Aronson's Evidence Based Technical Analysis ("EBTA") is a fantastic book, and one which our industry has sorely needed. It is a "How to Do Research" book that details the scientific method with regard to the markets. Everyone in the field should both read the book and practice what it preaches. But that won't happen, which is both bad news and good news. The bad news is that the vast majority of market traders who do not practice what the book preaches will lose money. The good news is that those who do will most certainly prosper. As the numbers of the former outnumber those of the latter, the few will earn a lot from the many.

The long (over 100 pages) psychology "preface" is extremely important to Aronson's body of work. I found it hugely interesting, but fear that others may not, or worse. In fact, the psychology preface itself indicates that this work will be reviled (my words) by the multitude. People do not like their sacred cows criticized.

The problem is that most market practitioners use methods with little or no scientific basis. Even if shown evidence of faulty logic, people continue to believe its validity. This is also true in the medical profession as Aronson illustrated and which scared the daylights out of me.

For anything to be scientifically testable, it must be possible to prove it wrong. However, many of the technical analysis disciplines cannot be defined. Thus they cannot be disproved. Consequently they have no scientific validity. They may have some anecdotal importance, but true science is lacking.

Let us say that one of the market gurus espouses that when the chart of XYZ resembles "Pattern A", the stock is destined to rally. To test that we have to define Pattern A and we have to define "rally", and we should provide some time parameters in which to work or fail. The trouble is that the guru cannot define any of that. But the guru still believes in his work, and all of the investors who pay monthly fees for his expertise believe it also. Anyone who criticizes the guru or the validity of Pattern A is looking to get flamed.

EBTA preaches that technical analysis research should be conducted like quantitative analysis research. Those who treat TA as a casual discipline will get casual results. The book is not an easy read, but it is an easier and much more interesting read than the "bible" of the CFA community, Quantitative Methods for Investment Analysis (DeFusco, et al.). I own both books and certainly consider EBTA more valuable than the CFA manual, worshipped by thousands. Don't expect to download all of Aronson's knowledge the first time - read it again. I did and learned more the second time through.

Aronson is meticulous and provides "service after the sale". I had recently traded emails with him about an article he had cited. He was prompt to respond and discus the implications of our expanded research. I have the feeling that he is like this with everyone.

In conclusion I have to say, that if you cannot do what EBTA preaches, at least get yourself a money manager who does.

Why not to include in the book the other, successful studies? Why only the negative?
By Paulo C. Rios Jr.
The author mentions: "[while] the set of rules I tested did not give significant results many footnotes point to studies that do" and "I certainly don't claim that there are no TA rules that work. In fact I cite references to numerous peer reviewed studies that discuss TA rules that have proven out in rigorous testing. However, for the rule set that I specified, which I felt at the outset would contain some good rules, none had sufficient performance to reject the null hypothesis".

In other words, the chosen rule set did not contain some good rules as the author expected. The question is then:
why not to include in the book (= to submit to test and select those that in fact worked) some of these "numerous peer reviewed studies that have proven out in rigorous testing"? Any fear that getting them published would make them no longer useful? Well, but they have already been published as cited in the book.

The author does mention that "the purpose of the book was to present a method of testing rules". But instead of just using this method to disprove every single study presented in the book, it would make a lot more sense to use the very same method to confirm at least some successful studies too. This would make the book a lot more useful, well-balanced and positive.

More Historiography Than History
By Suchos
NOTE: This review is for the 1997 edition.

This is an extremely brief review of about 200 years of history of the sub-continent, covering modern India, Pakistan and Bangladesh (with extremely brief nods to Sri Lanka, Nepal and Bhutan). It is written for college- or graduate-level readers or, more likely, professors of Indian or Pakistani history. Because the two authors are far more interested in discussing trends in South Asian historiography than in actually reporting the facts, I do not recommend this book for anyone interested in history.

The book starts with ancient history (Mohenjodaro and Harappa) and covers through 1997 (with updated material in later editions), but it is clear that the authors are more interested in the late colonial period, and far more interested in Partition and post-Partition. They breeze through the pre-Islamic era and the Mughals quickly and shallowly. That's understandable and expected in a book on "Modern" South Asia, but when they come to the colonial period, they still devote more time to causes, effects, and intellectual cross-currents than to what actually happened. For a reader with a very solid foundation in sub-continental history, the focus on how modern scholarship has changed traditional understandings may be a welcome change from a bare recitation of the facts. But that means this is less a work of history, and more a work of historigraphy. I finished it knowing more about what scholars think about what happened in India than about what happened in India.

A few examples: the authors introduce the Indian National Congress on p. 107, but never explain what it is, who was in it, and what it did, except for what can be gleaned piecemeal over then next 140 pages. We are told on p. 122 that when "viceroy Hardinge made a ceremonial entry on an elephant into New Delhi in 1912, he was greeted with a Bengali revolutionary's bomb." So was Hardinge killed? The authors do not say. More to the point, who was Hardinge? A viceroy who rode an elephant once, is all I can get from the text. Apparently someone named Radcliffe was responsible for drawing the partition lines. Who was Radcliffe? The authors don't say (and in a book primarily focused on Partition, that is an especially unusual omission). Maybe the best example pertains to Gen. Zia ul Haq: "When Zia vanished into fire and ash in August 1988 the fiscal crisis of the state was visible to all" (p. 234). That's certainly evocative, but if you don't already know that he was killed in a plane crash, it's also quite bizarre.

The authors write of the 1857 revolt that "[i]t is simpler, certainly far less controversial, to catalogue the course and extent of the rebellion than to analyze its character" (p. 92). Undoubtedly true. And yet, in a history book, that seems an important thing to do. That sentence captures the essence of my view of the book: this is a history where the authors forgot the include the section on history.

Read this book if you already know the history of South Asia, and if you want an admirable bibliograhy. Otherwise, look elsewhere.

NOTE: If you find my review unhelpful, please tell me why in a comment.

Brilliant & well researched
By munir@management.mcgill.ca
"Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past" said George Orwell. Modern South Asia represents another attempt by Sugata Bose and Ayesha Jalal to wrest control of the past from those who control the present. Cutting right through the lies published in official history text books, Bose and Jalal make a clear, convincing and appealing argument: Partition was the result of misplaced assumptions and opportunism on the part of both Hindu and Muslim leadership. Classification of Muslims as a nation instead of a minority was initially only a tactic to ensure equal representation at the center. It is a great irony of history that it led to the disintegration of the same center. The book is generally well written although the poetry translations could be improved. It should, however, not be treated as a first introduction to the history of the region but as a commentary on partition which created the identities: indian and pakistani, and subsequent events which led to their objectification. A must-read.

Good overview but lacking anything new or revealing
By A Customer
Although this book may serve to guide people through South Asia, it doesn't really explain or go into the complexities of the region. In the case of Pakistan we do not get a complete picture of its varied past as western Pakistan isn't South Asia, but is instead more Middle Eastern as it is populated by speakers of Iranian languages (as opposed to the Indic tongues spoken in eastern Pakistan) Pashtuns and Baluchis. Also the Hindu-Muslim struggles are reduced to religion rather than adding the linguistic and cultural divisions prevalent to this day. For being tauted as revisionist there seems to be little revisionism just different wording.

This monumental two-volume publication brings together in the original languages and an English translation, all the decrees of all the ecumenical councils from Nicaea I to Vatican II. As such it represents an indispensable reference work for theologians and historians, as well as for anyone interested in the development of Christian thought and doctrine. Indeed, these decrees represent the authoritative distillation of Christian tradition which itself is bound together with scripture "in a close and reciprocal relationship" so that the two "form a single sacred deposit of the word of God, entrusted to the church."

The original text is a reproduction of the brilliant edition by G. Alberigo and others of the decrees Conciliorum Oecumenicorum Decreta, which provides for the first time a reliable critical text for all the ecumenical councils. The English translation faces each page of the original text and is the first rendering into English of all these decrees taken together. The translators have used inclusive language throughout to emphasize the continuity of conciliar documents.

The 2,528 total pages of these two volumes include all the authenticated texts and their English renderings as well as a preface and introduction by the oringinal languages editor, a foreword by the English language editor, a bibliography for each decree, various commentaries and explanatory notes, and ten comprehensive indices.

"For theologians, canonists, and historians this publication is an event of major scholarly importance....The decrees presented here often do represent lofty moments in the history of the Church and in the development of its doctrinal tradition; and every scholar and student will be grateful for the great and difficult labor that went into the preparations of this work."―Theological Studies

"[This] two-volume set [is] beautifully realized and, for the theologian and intellectual historian, indispensable."―Commonweal

A wonderful investment
By Amazon Customer
While I don't carry as much authority on the subject as Rev Dr John Trigilio, I wanted to add that this is a must have volume for theology students. I am studying for my undergrad in theology and Christian education and have started my MA in theology. These two volumes, while expensive for us college students, are well worth having as reference material, and to study. As well as the original languages, Fr. Tanner offers introductions and background to each of the councils. There are also biblical, person, and subject indexes for ease of use. The volumes are sturdy and use a thicker paper for note writing and highlighting. Along with a Bible, catechism, commentaries on scripture, and Church Fathers, these volumes should have an esteemed place on your shelf.

Indispensible reference materials!
By David Zampino
These two volumes represent the most up-to-date, complete, and academically critical presentations and translations of all the decrees of all 21 Ecumenical Councils of the Catholic Church.
Of particular note is the original language text, given on the left-hand pages, providing the resources for the language scholar to make the translations him/herself. This is of value, because Fr. Tanner's English translation is a bit "modern"; succumbing unnecessarily to the lure of the "inclusive language translation".
Leaving this aside, the research and scholarship is impeccable. These volumes should be on the shelves of any clergyman or academic -- regardless of denominational affiliation.

Best Authentic Edition of the Conciliar Decrees
By Rev Dr John Trigilio, Jr, PhD, ThD
This edition is by far the best source of the typical (authentic) Latin version of the Ecumenical Councils (Nicea-Vatican 2). While the English translation may not rival Austin Flannery, OP, this is the ONLY available book containing the official and original Latin text for Vatican II, in addition to the preceding councils. I was duly impressed with the quality of the book (binding, print, etc.) and was happy to read the authentic texts of the Second Vatican Council in the mother tongue. Compliments Flannery's version all the way.

A different approach
By Alex S.H. Cheung
This book focuses on the stimuli (inputs/old ideas) and effective capaturing of responses (outputs/creative ideas) vs most other books about creativity focus on the thinking process, like mindmapping, six hats, thinking toys, etc. Thus, it directs to a total different path of how we build an environment to boost creativity. My analogy is no matter what thinking process you introduce, a group of housewives cannot invent a racket to reach the moon (don't get me wrong, I highly respect housewives for their contribution to families). It's the relevancy and variety of the inputs that matters.
I guess the author is a behaviourist who see thinking process as black box, i.e. non-observable and non-measurable. Thus, he only concentrates on the observable and measurable stimuli and responses.
I am a trainer for creativity for my company. I find this book very useful. The only complaint is that not all the games are up to my personal standard: able to demonstrate the theory AND able to energize the participants.
All in all, I highly recommand this book. You will see creativity in a different angle.
