Review:Finding this book was very timely. Since being the recipient of an verbal assault with a provocation toward physical violence by an individual outside of a moving theater 2 years ago, I've wondered what the "right thing" to do was? Try to have a conversation with the fellow? Have a smart, verbal response? Fight? Flee? or Freeze? That incident opened a series of conversations with friends and peers related to the illusion, perhaps even myth, of peaceful life in this culture, or any historical cul... Read more

Review:Super good book on the subject of severe stress response. The title is a bit misleading when you first read it. I strongly suggest this book to anyone that has experienced a situation involving the severe stress of combat, rape or the current exposure to our growing domestic issues from both law enforcement side and civilian side. This is not a how to do book on killing. It is just the opposite in my opinion. I would like to thank Mr. Grossman for his fine work. Read more

Review:When the Newsweek editors decided to write a cover story about feminism in March 1970, it was a hot topic, just the sort of current events coverage that the news magazine was known for. The day the issue hit the stands, a group of women who worked at Newsweek filed a civil rights suit against the magazine. Newsweek was being sued for gender discrimination.

Lynn Povich, one of the few women writers at Newsweek at the time, was one of forty-six women filing the suit, and she has gathered th... Read more

Review:After over two decades, I still recall the shock of hearing the Simpson jury had returned a verdict almost immediately after a year long trial.

Crossing a hotel lobby, I, along with everyone else, stood rooted to the spot, eyes on the television. Almost before the foreman read the verdict, I knew that it could only mean one thing. No jury seriously studying evidence that would send someone to prison for life, could possibly return a studied verdict in less than a day. Even so, it was s... Read more

Review:This is private eye William C. Dear's second stab (pun intended) at the O.J. Simpson case. His first book, O.J. Is Guilty But Not of Murder, quite frankly, was a self-congratulatory hagiographical piece of dreck. Dear's thesis in that book was that Simpson was an accessory after the fact, and took the rap for his son Jason. But most of that book was about William C. Dear, not the Simpson case. I bought this book, struggled with the first 100 pages or so, then stuck it in an out-of-the-way bo... Read more

Review:This book was better than I expected, not because of the insight into the trial but because of the insight into race relations from a black professional. I was extremely impressed with Mr. Darden's ability to explain the emotions and thoughts that blacks have about whites. From the beginning , Mr. Darden expresses his beliefs that blacks think differently than whites, but are fair, honest, and hard-working, despite the fact that many whites think otherwise. Mr. Darden's early optimism that th... Read more

Review:After loony Hitler and his acolytes killed 6 million Jews and millions of "undesirables" who didn't live up to Aryan standards, the Western World said, "never again." Ms. Power clearly shows how empty this promise was during the 20th Century. Her primary focus is on the United States due to us being the major superpower as well as a beacon to the rest of the world when it comes to human rights. The problem is we fall very short in the "never again" category. Heck, not only did U.S. Presidents co... Read more

Review:This book was really helpful for me. The author clearly explained the whys and hows of corporations and LLCs. I now have a very good understanding of how to proceed to protect my assets. This is an excellent book!!!! Read more

Review:Good book but way too much detail from the trial. I thought the book was never going to end and skipped the last 8 - 10 pages. I read a lot of true crime but prefer the books where the characters are more fleshed out. The trial...dry and TMI! Read more

Review:If you’re interested in social sciences and how people relate with government, this is a great read for you. This was one of the sources I used to write my college thesis.

Easy to read through and has a great political background. The authors tend to place themselves as observers without trying to influence the reader to a certain ideology. Read more
