Jerry Springer, but less interesting
I've read 5 books by Moore, and this is my least favorite.Coffey is a man you just want to slap around a little for being, well, so stupid.When he turned down an actual job offer because he *thinks* he might have another one at the end of the week, I hoped he would get what he deserved.The ending of the novel made the whole story completely unbelievable.

A Most Insightful Look Into the Soul of a Modern Day Man
With Ginger Coffee, Brian Moore provides a very honest (sometimes painfully so) depiction of the highs and lows in the life of a common man.I devoured this book.At times I felt I was looking into a mirror.Atother times I felt I was looking into a crystal ball.That the story isnot only insightful, but also uplifting is a gift I shall never forget.

A very touching story

Product Description
Over the last decade, there has been a revolution in our understanding of the physiological role of the cochlea (the inner ear), and the mechanisms of cochlear hearing loss, the most common type in adults, which results in distortions in sound perception. This is the first book to cover the topic; aimed at students and researchers in auditory rehabilitation and its technology, it explains the nature of hearing distortion and relates it to the underlying physiological mechanisms. It provides a theoretical framework for understanding the changes that follow cochlear damage which had important implications not only for theories of normal perception but also the design of signal processing hearing aids. ...

Product Description
An examination of the cultural evolution of the Jamaican people after the explosive uprising at Morant Bay in 1865. For the first time, the specific methods used by British imperial legislators to inculcate order, control and identity in the local society are described and analysed. The authors compellingly and convincingly demontrate that Great Britain deliberately built a "new society in Jamaica founded on principles of Victorian Christian morality and British Imperial ideology". This resulted in a sustained attack on everything that was perceived to be of African origin and the glorification of Christian piety, Victorian mores, and a Eurocentric "idealized" family life and social hierarchies. This well-written and meticulously researched book will be invaluable for students of the period and those interested in Jamaican history and/or imperial history ... Read more
