Review:A much needed look at the value of generalized education vs. STEM subjects. Fared makes a strong case for the general education to meet the changing needs of societies and individuals as time goes forward. STEM education is a great choice for students who are interested in these subjects, and certainly provides more immediately marketable skills, if that is the goal. These are vital in our technical world. However, many individuals are not interested in a technical subject, A broad education p... Read more

Review:Fareed Zakaria provides history and the insight needed to understand where we are and how we got here. Without that insight you cannot best understand where we are going. I believe he is spot on. It is time for us, Americans, to realize we are only a part of the whole. We are currently a big part of it but in the end it is the whole that matters. He is correct in that we failed by succeeding. The world learned what we wanted to teach them. We succeeded. Now they are our competition. If ... Read more

Review:I have always admired Anderson Cooper well before I ever realized the family from which he decended I read the book in one day. So much of his personal loss I have myself experienced. That shadow behind the eye....very well put otherwise unexplainable. Read more

Review:I bought this book for my sociology class and kept it after the class was over. There is some good reading in this book and I would recommend buying this book not only for class but for some socioeconomic topics as well. Read more

Review:Sarah Vowell is a particularly cynical and yet sometimes hilariously funny author who can fill the mind with imagery with a single two word phrase like "Nerd Isreal". In this book she explores her own particular brand of patriotism and her point of view on history and the world now. The book is an interesting, albeit short read that captivated me and made me laugh out loud on more than one occasion. However, to truly get the voice of this book, one should definitely listen to any of Vowell's ... Read more

Review:I have always thought about the secret societies within the United States and rest of the World. This book makes valid my suspicions of assassinations in the United States, back in the sixties. Lone crazed gunman indeed. No conspiracies ever found, witnesses die accidentally and evidence disappears. How naive can anyone be. In my opinion Patton was murdered. Read more

Review:This book tells about some of the double standards and some of the hypocrisy of some forms of modern feminism. Here is some of the interesting information that this book mentions in it: Some women demand that men pay for dates with them completely all of the time. Some women who expect men to pay for dates often just use them for free meals. Some of the time these women have zero romantic interest in the man they're dating, but dishonestly lead the man on anyway. 39% of women said they woul... Read more

Review:This book relates to the book "How the West Really Lost God"! Both really demonstrate how a strong family requires a strong male influence. I mean a family in which co-equal partners respect and cherish each other in a true give and take relationship which builds a strong family life which is self-replicating.

The sexual revolution not only destroyed the family but created a female dominated pseudo-family which is a no-win environment for both sexes and their off-spring. Passion created a... Read more

Review:This book was recommended to me by a Warning Coordination Meteorologist from Norman Oklahoma. It is a fantastic book. Lots of names of folks I know of or have met in the field of meteorology. Kim Cross is an amazing writer and I loved the way her words wove the story. I could not put the book down. After reading this book I realized why I do what I do when I am out spotting for severe weather. . Read more
