Review:I had to buy this for a college course. I might as well have wiped myself with the pages. If you are looking for a whole bunch of politically correct lectures about how all of the world's problems are caused by heterosexual, white males, then this is the book for you. If you have to buy this for a college class, I'm sorry. Read more

Review:I had to take a sociology class to fulfill my gen ed requirement and this is the book they used. I've never really had an interest in sociology until I read this book. After I read this book, it changed the way I viewed the world.. but no too much =P Read more

Review:I like this book a lot more than I though I would. It appeared by the title and cover photo that it would be watered-down psychology, but the author is legit and knows his stuff. A great intro psyche text, full of in-text citations and reference lists if you're interested to research in further detail.

Review:Challenged me to share my faith and than taught me how to practically do so. Highly recommend for anyone who knows they need to evangelize but is frightened of doing so. This is just the help you need to get started. Read more

Review:Character development good, plot moved along at good pace, and was well constructed. Story was interesting, and engaging. Would recommend for a good read, and liked that the book left off with further tales afoot in the future. Read more

Review:I was hoping to read individual stories about Coyote behavior. The upsetting part I needed to read dealt with the horrible poison war on coyotes for way too many years, an attack that may not be totally over yet, thanks to ranchers and perhaps even the government. Read more

Review:Great book of real scientist and anthropologist who had own experience of amazonian tribal life and psychedelic journeys with local curanderos. In this book you will find ideas how modern science can be integrated with shamanic practices for their mutual benefits and benefits of all people. Combination of DNA studies and shamanic journeys can be a new battlefield for new discoveries and prosperity of humankind. Read more

Review:A great Russian classic but in the traditional Russian genre. Very descriptive writing of people and places with the "normal" tragic Russian ending. Turgenev easily captures the soul of Russian writers of the 18th century. Read more
