Review:Ben Sasse argues convincingly that we are doing our kids a disservice when we ‘protect’ them from work. Sasse provides parents with practical advice to help make the shift from consumption to production—a great way to help our kids find lives filled with meaning and purpose.

While I wish I had read this book when my daughters were in pre-school, I'm still able to get some ideas for parenting my almost-adult teens. Read more

Review:When you can still hold your humanity in the Prison system and not come out bitter,
It's saying a lot about this Human Being. The fact he rather died than accept a life sentence,
for a crime he didn't commit said another. We need JUSTICE Reform. Read more

Review:I gave this book three stars - not because of the subject matter, but due to poor proofreading and/or fact checking.

I was born in a sundown town and we had to leave when I was a baby because my father was a person of color. Since I now live in a primarily Scandinavian area (thought definitely not "whites only") I decided to look in the index and check out the history of my current town. I saw three pages with references to my city due to horrendous lynchings of three African-American men... Read more

Review:I started reading this book with great excitement as I often wonder about what impact technology is having on me. The book is basically divided into two parts, one talks about human robot interaction and the other humans and net/phone interaction. The are pages after pages of descriptions of what children think of interaction with robots and there are tons of descriptions of how teenagers use Facebook and texting. I don't think the author needs to list every single interview she ever conducted t... Read more

Review:I learned so much about death and dying from this wonderful book. These nurses really know what they are talking about and have the experience to back it up. I see the process so differently now...they are different ways to understand what dying people are saying. They are not necessarily delusional, they are expressing themselves in a symbolic way. It is a language that can be learned. Read it NOW for you will someday be in a place to need this information. Read more

Review:Both easy to read and informative. I'm approaching this issue in my family, so it helps to be aware of the many issues I may have to deal with before too long. Being prepared will make the journey less overwhelming. Read more

Review:Nobody is powerful and stunning in its breadth and depth of analysis. There are many things to be written about the violence that Black and poor bodies face throughout this nation, but only this book could have been written by Marc Lamont Hill. Hill keenly pulls on sociology, legal studies, and myriad other traditions to highlight the common thread of State violence and its influence on the most vulnerable. This book is a must read for those just coming to the topic as well as those well versed ... Read more

Review:With 127 people and unusual family connections, I found myself using the x Ray feature on my Kindle more than any other time. Page after page, chapter after chapter was basically a redo of the ones before. Same problems shared by all the characters. Not a good read. The end was a long time coming. Read more

Review:Having read several of Barbara Ehrenreich's previous works, and intrigued by the subject, I was delighted to be able to review this book. I was not disappointed.

Having been diagnosed with stage 3 cancer at Christmas 6 and a half years ago and being told I would most likely not live to see summer, I once faced the prospect of death head on, and Ms. Ehrenreich's book, especially the first sections, echoed many of the thoughts I had at the time. Why are we spending so much of our precious t... Read more

Review:Hotep!
I read this book about three years ago, I was sixteen at the time and was just starting to enter a Afrikan - centered process. ONe in which allowed me to understand my people and know my history). I was Christian. I went to some of the best Catholic schools New York had to offer, so I knew European history. Though when it came to Afrikan history, I didn't even know who Frederick Douglass was. So I went along in my process, but I was still in denial that my people had such a great his... Read more
