Media: Online news & opinion: Best 10 books I've read or am still reading as 2k11 draws to a close

refWrite's 10 top books,
titles I've read in whole or in part, this year:

My list of top ten books I've read

1.) Maarten Verkkerk, Trust and power on the shop floor

2.)  Romel Regalado Bagares, attorney, philosopher of law, Beyond Sovereignty versus Community:  A Social Pluralist Perspective on the International Legal Order, dissertation University of the Philippines, Diliman, Quezon City.  Even more developed, is his full-length dissertation for VU University, Amsterdam, with which he earned the doctorate.

3.) Anthony Tol, Philosophy in the Making:  D.H.Th. Vollenhoven and the emergence of Reformed philosophy, dissertation VU University, Amsterdam.

4.)  Jeremy Ive, A Critically Comparative Analysis and a Trinitarian, ‘Perichoretic’ Reconstruction of the Reformational Philosophies of Dirk H.Th. Vollenhoven and Herman Dooyeweerd (dissertation submitted Dec 2, 2k11 for PhD) Kings College, London


5.) Leonard Sweet and Hendrik Hart [in series Value Inquiry Books]   Responses to the Enlightenment -- an exchange on foundations, faith, and community
6.)  Nadia Szilvassy, editor, Brick, an international review, twice yearly, Toronto

7.)  Lambert Zuidervaart, After Dooyeweerd: Truth in Reformational Philosophy, online digital publication, Institute for Christian Studies, Toronto


8.)  TV viewing:  television political & economic 
              news and opinion, shows — narrative series with
              consequent episodesspecials, awards shows 
              or at least the latest news on who's won what 
              when it happens this year ....  

9.)  James Olthuis The Beautiful Risk:  A new psychology of 
               Loving and Being Loved (2001)




10.)  Here's where the goin' gits ruff, folks.  Wow! come to think of 
     it, I'm spending many hours reading online texts of many kinds,
     but I can't think of any other books, right now.



11.)   I've drawn a blank.  I read to keep abreast of the 24-hour news 
        cycle, simulating a future with quick and clear up-to-the-minute 
        reformational media institution online, international.  I don't read
        enuff novels or a book of poetry or literary critique.  Sad to say.

Dear Albert,

I hope it still isn't too late to say Happy New Year! Thanks for consistently making a good word for my work on your blog....A slight correction is that I'm still in the process of working on my PhD and what I have is a draft that requires substantial revision. I'll be visiting Amsterdam again in February this year, thanks to a free trip I'm getting in exchange for a series of lectures I'll be making on the old continent.

cheers,

Romel
