Review:Once again, I have learned something that I had never known before reading this book: the explosion, tsunami and massive snowstorm that struck Halifax, Nova Scotia in December 1917. This is a well-written book that outlines the ship accident minute by minute, and then comprehensively details its awful aftermath. We get a story of great suffering and heroic action, particularly by the medical staffs that came to help from Boston, New York, and a host of Canadian cities. These dedicated people wor...

Review:In Part 1, de Tocqueville writes a constant stream of aphorisms, quotes, pithy remarks and general and specific observations about the American experience. Like a double-barreled shotgun blast, some of the pellets are going to find their mark and a few are going to go astray. Overall though it is well worth the read. Seldom does he get too bogged down in any one topic and his style cuts through to the essentials, leaving details for his footnotes.

Part 2 is a more general philosophical... Read more

Review:The book itself is fine, HOWEVER on the page where you can order the book it says the book is available for download to PC from the kindle app. Well, I have the kindle app on my PC and I go to click on the book in my library and it tells me that this book is not available for Kindle on Window's 8. Either fix this problem or don't advertise false information.

If someone has any information on how I can get into touch with amazon or whomever directly please let me know, Read more

Review:This was the first book I purchased from Amazon for school, and it came in great condition. I was thinking that purchasing a used book would be a result of a stinky, beat up horror, but I was surely wrong! Read more

Review:The Summer of 1787 is quite simply a well written book. The author very skillfully presents both sketches of the participant personalities and the
events that transpired. If you want to know about the significant elements of the Constitution and how they were included, this is the book to read.
The author excels at explaining the impact of the subject of slave states
versus free states. What I wanted to do as a reader was visit the events
of the Constitutional Convention, learn what ... Read more

Review:I began reading into generational theory after writing a novel about seven protagonists born in the second half of the "silent generation" (circa 1935-1942). I quickly found that the characterizations in Generations did not at all fit my own life experience as a "silent" born in 1941 or the characters in my novel ("The Duke Don't Dance" by Richard Sharp)based on cohorts born in the same time period. Some of the stereotypes in Generations might have fitted my sisters born in the 1925-1935 period ... Read more

Review:This book contains extensive logical research that supports the fakery of the 911 plane crashes. Coupled with the evidence in Where Did the Towers Go book, it’s amazing that so many people still believe the official story. More people should do their reading! We are all so gullible. I recommend this book, although I wish it had more of an executive summary storyline. It’s very easy to get lost in all of the facts, hypotheses, alternatives, and discussion. Read more

Review:I loved everything about this book. It has restored my faith in the human race. Such loving and generous people were so amazing, I could hardly believe what I was reading. It has warmed my heart, and I know it is making me want to be a better friend to mankind. Read more
