The Lessons of History
The Lessons of History

Review:This book is very thought-provoking and is strongly recommended for those liberals who advocate saving as many people as possible in any disaster and especially those in social services in the belief that saving everyone will make this planet a better place. Read more

The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire (Penguin Classics)
The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire (Penguin Classics)

Review:I have only read about 25% of this book since it is a very large one (over 1000 pages), but I can say The Decline & Fall of the Roman Empire by Edward Gibbon is one of the best history books I have ever read.
Thought English is not my native language, the book is, with a few exceptions, very easy to read. It is loaded with a lot of history since it covers over 1000 years, but this fact does not give you a headache if you are not into learning everything in it.
The book covers the histo... Read more

The Devil's Notebook
The Devil's Notebook

Review:This book is a well-written collection of Mr. LaVey's essays. For the most part this book is not required to understand The Church of Satan. The book does highlight Mr. LaVey's unique philosophy and various related topics. The range of topics is too broad to summarize, so I'll list several highlights:
"Ravings From Tartarus": Why ritual spells do not work, and how to accomplish your goals.
"The Importance of Keeping a Secret": Types of secrets, and methods to ensure secrecy.

Reserve Police Battalion 101 and the Final Solution in Poland

Review:And you thought only the Jewish were persecuted.

Very easy to assume only the Jewish were persecuted, as it's only been well publicized for the past century. But after reading this short book; the reader will eventually easily question, that during those times, how could one be sure that they were only targeting the Jewish based on the rudimentary few nonstandard information collected during this time? (ie. Very few Census records were present during this time.) Can only guess that tho... Read more

Schindler's List aka Schindler's Ark
Schindler's List aka Schindler's Ark

Review:The book includes detail and captures emotions and outrage beyond what is in an excellent movie. It captures the Nazis' inhumanity to a population they considered "sub-human," including the irrationality of while fighting a war on two fronts, they dedicated resources sorely needed elsewhere to exterminating millions of people.
Man's hatred of those they consider inferior to themselves reaches an all-time level portrayed in Schindler's List, this irrationality continues today in multiple are... Read more

Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Survive
Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Survive

Review:This book is an interesting read covering a large amount of historical societies. Unfortunately, the two societies covered the most extensively were to me the least interesting. Still worth reading in hopes of learning from past mistakes. Read more

Walking the Path of Norse Paganism - Essential Asatru
Walking the Path of Norse Paganism - Essential Asatru

Review:Yet another Asatru book that only covers the VERY basics, and yet another book on Asatru that is trying to liberalize the religion. What this book represents is about one step away from "Norse Wicca".

As you may or may not know, the media, including book publishers tend to be very liberal. Asatru tends to be very conservative. If you want a liberal "new age" or neo-pagan religion there are plenty of them, Wicca being the main one as well as many new age books etc. The problem is few publi... Read more

7 Tipping Points That Saved the World
7 Tipping Points That Saved the World

Review:Chris and Ted Stewart have chosen to chronicle seven major events from world history that, to me, show how blessed we are to enjoy the freedoms we now have. The work [...] is so interesting that, once once opens the cover and begins to learn about these events, it is difficult to put the book down. It makes one grateful to live in these times -- perilous though they are becoming -- and makes one want to protect that which we have. Read more
