President Barack Obama has been recently named as the latest Nobel Peace Prize winner, much to the surprise and amazement of not only the whole world but also the Nobel Peace Prize committee.
The decision brought controversy into the life of Thorbjørn Jagland, the chairman of the five-member committee who honored Obama with the prize. Jagland has been accused of personally pushing the choice for the award.
However, Lars Halvor Mageroy, commentary editor at Norwegian tabloid Verdens Gang defends the decision: "It's easy to see why a great visionary like Obama appeals to Jagland. People say that vision is all that Obama has to show at this point, but Jagland is a politician who finds that aspect of politics to be of great significance."
Perhaps it was Obama's quality as a visionary that appealed to Jagland or perhaps he looked at what the US President overcame and went through in his life on the way to the presidency. Regardless, Obama's life with or without the Nobel Peace Prize has so far been a success.
This is something Young Sop Ahn knows and has chronicled in the self-published book, How Obama Made It?: A Layman’s Guide. Ahn delves into the life of the first ever African-American President of the United States and how he has made it into the White House.
For many young people all over the world, President Obama is seen a role model but relatively few seem to know about the basic details of his success story. This self-published book has been written as a guide for layman, covering Obama's entire life from his birth up to the inauguration as US President and his first 100 days in office.
How Obama Made It?: A Layman’s Guide presents a few good reasons why the US President deserves the Nobel Peace Prize.

Ar’n’t I A Woman Analytical Review
By: Chris Danks | 23/11/2009Throughout the history of North American slavery, no one endured worse treatment while at the same time receiving next to no historical attention than the enslaved African-American woman. Almost every single notable historian has focused solely on the male slaves. Deborah Gray White’s Ar’n’t I A Woman?

What to avoid when writing a book review?
By: Murali | 19/11/2009Writing book reviews is consumes a lot of time and a thankless job. In most cases the reviewer might ask why I write them. But the ultimate aim should be to make the writings of the review enjoyable by everyone. "Writing crystallizes thought" should be the motto of the reviewer. The book reviews are a way of reflecting on the book and putting some of my ideas on the work in order maybe for future reference.

Screenwriting Book Review for Writing Drama
By: Red Winer | 19/11/2009Yves Lavandier’s screenwriting book Writing Drama should probably be on the shelf of every scriptwriting junkie’s obligatory bookshelf. It is most likely way too heady for the mainstream but it is a necessary read for anyone serious about story structure, myth, and story telling. He may not have a lot of screen credits but the man is definitely brilliant.
