Review:I really like seeing the inside complexities of leading our country. And I appreciate the noble efforts to do the right thing in the face of adversity. This was a very historic time and reading this writers perspective is haunting. Read more
Review:Libertarians love to get bogged down in complicated policy debates, which, while undeniably fun, is not often helpful in converting others to the cause. What Kibbe has so skillfully done here, is succinctly stated the essence of the philosophy right there in the title. Don’t Hurt People and Don’t Take Their Stuff.
Personally, I’m hard pressed to see how anyone could disagree with two so evidently moral and straightforward principles, but the fact remains that many people still do. We have... Read more
Review:I love this book, it's very interesting and fascinating! Every other sentence I'm nodding "wow, yeah that's true, I didn't see it that way!". This book offers a great insight into people's minds and hearts, and explains what the true drivers of happiness are. The elephant and the rider analogy completely makes sense. This book has made a difference in my life, I now look at things from a different viewpoint. The author's knowledge of biology, human anatomy, philosophy, psychology, sociology... Read more

Review:I purchased this book because I wanted to know the Ed Gein story. And that is what I got; I found the book to be very informative. It of course covered the murders committed by Mr. Gein, but also gave a lot of information about his life including his mental and emotional status. Read more
Review:M. Gombrich as he claims in the introduction lets you relax and enjoy history and tries to connect the dots so that you remember the events.
At some points descriptions seem to be biased and mixed with opinions. Read more
Review:While Bryson can be bitter and cynical, this book is not one of that sad set.
Browse this in otherwise wasted moments, be awed at the depth of research he has done into the way words have been diverted and perverted over time. 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
