Review:Ashton Applewhite is the new Betty Friedan or Kate Millet for the fight against ageism. Like the best feminist texts, This Chair Rocks explodes a lot of the myths about aging and ageism that we all take for granted and accept unquestioningly, especially that there's something shameful about aging--that we need to hide it and pretend to be young as long as possible. Just like women before feminism accepted male assesstment of their value, older people accept the younger society's evaluation of ... Read more
Review:Finally a book which deconstructs the lies of the NRA. It is worth the read for people like myself who want to see the reformation of gun laws to protect our citizens from an Afghanistan-like scenario of potential sudden, random and spontaneous death and the annihilation of supposed "Constitutionalist" groups.

She carefully documents the results of recent attempts to address these issues after a period of effective measures that brought about dramatic reductions in crime in the previous twenty years, spearheaded by such leaders of former NYC Mayor Rudy Giuliani.

I have recommended this book ... Read more
Review:I lack necessary intellectual capacity and courage to judge or review such an amazing narrative and book, however, this book taught me more and more and proofed that some of the critical , social, political and philosophical questions were answered long time ago. This book adds to the answers to my own personal questions such as why Europ for example was able to reform while other nations and ethnicities were unable to do so and describe the kind of debate that was going on some 150 years ago th...

Review:The book was intact, but was separated from the spine which is annoying as your flipping through pages and having to be careful not to have it all come apart...lt was represented as in "very good" condition and I would qualify the content as such, but the book itself was in poor condition.
