Review:The Color of Law... is the lack of Will

I purchased the audible version of the book which helped me to listen in awe; I don’t know if I could have kept turning pages as quickly with a hardcopy version of the book. Chapter after Chapter Rothstein validates his theory of public policy executed by the federal and local governments designed to maintain the color barrier through segregated housing. It left me numb. As a student of urban housing, I studied many of the ghettos cited in the bo... Read more

Review:While I admire the authors many accomplishments and can appreciate his contributions to the art of profiling, his ego leaves no room for admitting mistakes. This gives me reason for concern, no one is ever right in every instance no matter how experienced. For instance the William Heirens case which he breezes through with broad strokes doesn't touch on any of the contridictions of this particular case and in the end he writes William off as guilty without ever looking into any other aspects of ...

Review:An important book for its message. Powerfully shows the reader the horrors faced by refugees and immigrants. Particularly important in face of the cruelty of current US administration. Could it have been better written? Yes. Does it matter? Not really. Everyone sitting in their comfortable home needs to know what it's like to be thrown out of that comfortable home. Read more

Review:This is a very funny book, written by, in this reader's humble opinion, the funniest writer of our time, gay or straight! I started to read this book on the subway, but I had to stop because people were starring at me and asking me why I was laughing so loud and so hysterically! I finished it at home, and only stopped once when I thought that I was going to wet myself from laughing so hard.
This story is sweet, sentimental, funny, and shocking. Anyone who is a fan of Dan Savage's advise c... 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:Unlike my law school classmates, I did not read this prior to law school. I'm glad I did not. I was already terrorized by the rumors. Had I read this, I might very well have "tucked tail and ran." It is very accurate. Nevertheless, I encourage future law students to read so that they'll have no illusions. Along these lines, just know that the first year comes to an end -- it too shall pass. Few achievements in my life make me feel as confident as having made it through the 1st year of law schoo...

Review:I don't really know what I was expecting, but boy this book nearly drove me into a panic with all the stuff that it suggests to do.
I went into shut-down mode and haven't looked at since I first opened it (about a month ago).
I may try to start collecting data, as it suggests, but honestly, I was way overwhelmed..... Read more

Review:This book is the cornerstone of the philosophy of Thelema which was established by Aleister Crowley and it is essential to anyone who wants to understand Crowley's writings. Simply one of the most important books of esoteric thought. Read more

Review:The lessons of history recorded for us by Sollzhenitzn are pertinent to this generation, long after the fall of the Soviet Union. The same kinds of oppression arise over and over in various times and places. We were blessed to have this great author and true prophet here for some years. He has left a record for us and a warning in his address at Harvard (?) years ago when he predicted the kind of cultural and moral decline we have been experiencing and urged our nation to take responsibility to ...

Review:This takes some time to get through but the comprehensive view and thorough presentation are necessary and worth it. It shows the complexity of the issues yet explains the numerous variables simply. It is easy to understand and should be required reading for everyone. Read more
