Review:This book represents some of the greatest speeches ever made, period. This is a must-have for social justice activists, social studies teachers, and anyone else looking to be reminded of days past and inspired to better the future. Read more

Review:Ashton Applewhite is the new Betty Friedan or Kate Millet for the fight against ageism. Like the best feminist texts, This Chair Rocks explodes a lot of the myths about aging and ageism that we all take for granted and accept unquestioningly, especially that there's something shameful about aging--that we need to hide it and pretend to be young as long as possible. Just like women before feminism accepted male assesstment of their value, older people accept the younger society's evaluation of ... Read more

Review:A great job of both reporting and storytelling. This was an absolutely horrible event but a thoughtful telling and analysis of it was important to do. Mr Morse did that in a completely engaging way. Couldn't put it down. Read more

Review:Required reading for a course in Death and Dying that I had to take. Great expose of the funeral home industry and how they prey upon grieving families emotions to sell their wares. Excellent book which will hold your interest with facts and humor. Read more

Review:If you Googled "aphorism" and still did not understand its definition, do not buy this book. Taleb writes for those possessing above average intellect and an open mind. I absolutely love this book for its stark wisdom packed into a collection of concise truisms that I will continue to re-read for many years to come.

Some of his terminology is an extension of his other books (specifically, Black Swan). I read this book before Black Swan and found myself confused more than once. I have ... Read more

Review:I must say I had high expectation for this book. Unfortunately, the 500 pages used to discuss Zimbardo's Stanford Prison Experiment and the underlying psychological principles behind "How Good People Become Evil" could have been condensed into 100-200 pages.

If, like me, you were looking forward to delving deep into the psychological aspects of this hypothesis I fear you may be disappointed. Read more

Review:I found this book to be very informative & well written. It is the first book I have read regarding RAD since my son was diagnosed with attatchment issues.

I found that I could relate to many of the behaviours detailed in the book & it has given me invaluable insight into the confusing and painful world where my son sometimes dwells.

I would have liked a more comprehensive guide into the guidelines for parenting a child with these problems - though I have already tracked do... Read more

Review:As a widower for ten years, this book is the best yet on the grief and grieving process. Good practical information. Not an academic type of publication. I have read many such books since my spouse died.

Another excellent book is C.S. Lewis' "A Grief Observed". Read more

Review:Heather McDonald's comprehensive review of the present crisis in law enforcement and community relations with police is sorely needed to help sort out the facts from the fiction on this explosive topic. She carefully documents the results of recent attempts to address these issues after a period of effective measures that brought about dramatic reductions in crime in the previous twenty years, spearheaded by such leaders of former NYC Mayor Rudy Giuliani. The trouble is that these new measure... Read more

Review:This is a tightly reasoned, carefully documented case argued by one of the most brilliant intellects of our time. The case for both reason and optimsm about the trajectory of human history could not be more forcefully made. Very highly recommended. Read more
