Review:This important book is a companion to his book The World Without Us which focused on how nature would recover if human beings were removed from the global picture. In "Countdown" Wiesman travels around the world, from the Mideast to the U.S., looking at how agriculture, population, climate, and other factors are interacting to form the upcoming Malthusian nightmare (our technology and contrary to what some ...

Review:Okay, putting this one down after the first page. The claim here is that the finger was pointed at Oswald 24 hours after the killing after LBJ and J. Edgar Hoover talked about it. I'm here to tell you I was 12 years old and confined to a hospital bed on 11/22/1963. There was a built in radio in the wall. Around 12 noon some woman popped her head in my room and said "They've killed the President!". I turned on the radio and never stopped listening to it until 10:30 that night. The name OSWALD was...

Review:Highly recommended. In depth telling by young, "arab-speaking" former FBI counter-terrorism agent. His own background living as a Lebanese child during wartime. His childhood experiences, superior intellect, dedication to our country, our safety and the truth. This along with his youth, language skills, and personality appeared to make for easier establishment of trust with detainees. Believes that the belief in trust paramount to gaining accurate info. Says no way we should use torture bec... Read more

Review:Demographer of religion Robert P. Jones has bad news for White Christian America (WCA). Few will be surprised at his news, that the heyday of WCA's influential role in United States society and politics is over. The End of White Christian America is Jones's retrospective and obituary. Jones quotes E.J. Dionne, who said "white Protestantism served as 'the civic and moral glue that held American public life together' for most of the United States' history."

I'll be up front about this: I... Read more

Review:Excellent book, filled with important facts. I had forgotten that Bill Clinton had agreed with Gingrich to privatize social security, i.e. hand it over to the tender mercies of Wall Street. Fortunately, the Monica business exploded the very day after and saved real FDR liberalism from traitors like those who now run the party. A neoliberal neocon Democratic party is a disaster and must be redeemed, if not by Sanders, then by a successor. Franks' best book yet. Read more
