Review:In Part 1, de Tocqueville writes a constant stream of aphorisms, quotes, pithy remarks and general and specific observations about the American experience. Like a double-barreled shotgun blast, some of the pellets are going to find their mark and a few are going to go astray. Overall though it is well worth the read. Seldom does he get too bogged down in any one topic and his style cuts through to the essentials, leaving details for his footnotes.

Part 2 is a more general philosophical... Read more

Review:This was the first book I purchased from Amazon for school, and it came in great condition. I was thinking that purchasing a used book would be a result of a stinky, beat up horror, but I was surely wrong! Read more

Review:The book itself is fine, HOWEVER on the page where you can order the book it says the book is available for download to PC from the kindle app. Well, I have the kindle app on my PC and I go to click on the book in my library and it tells me that this book is not available for Kindle on Window's 8. Either fix this problem or don't advertise false information.

Review:The Summer of 1787 is quite simply a well written book. The author very skillfully presents both sketches of the participant personalities and the
events that transpired. If you want to know about the significant elements of the Constitution and how they were included, this is the book to read.
The author excels at explaining the impact of the subject of slave states
versus free states. What I wanted to do as a reader was visit the events
of the Constitutional Convention, learn what ... Read more

Review:Very informative and educational. East European names are confusing at times but to be expected. Chapters on the "disinformation campaign" against the church and Pope Pius XII should be a lesson to all on how the political left and particularly the communist party works with the press.

Review:Mawson's polar exploration accomplishments equal or exceed Shackleton and Amundson! He was an explorer to his core. His survival was part miracle and part refusal to die. An amazing story - and true. Read more

Review:Roy and Michael know how to stir up a conversation. What happened before is only a precursor to what will happen next. Who we are collectively? What is the current mood? Are you in or out of step? Once you ingest this you will not see the world the same. You might even be more thoughtful about your next sentence. And your next move. If you are thinking or a doing person, then put this into your shopping basket. We are headed to a "WE" time period. Are you ready? Read more
