Customer Review: This book, like the first one, makes you think outside of the box. This isn't supposed to be the definitive answer to global warming or too child safety.
But it does make one consider and to look past all the politicking by Corporations, Scientists, and (of course) Politicians. They... more info
Customer Review: This book is intended purely as shock jocking. It's not anything but Glenn Beck shouting on paper. It's really ruining America to have divisive, fear-mongering, black-and-white Conservatives brandish their trash so freely. Rational, realistic people will find this book as ridiculous as I did. What a... more info
Customer Review: "Outliers: The Story of Success" by Gladwell is an entertaining, quick read. Some of the insights are "Duh", but most are: "Hmm, hadn't thought of that." I liked it.
Customer Review: Like being at a nerdy cocktail party playing "Seven Degrees of Kevin Bacon" with statistics, but without the cocktails. Great hook with the speculation that legalizing abortion resulted in decreased crime rate, but downhill from there as the comparisons become more labored and tedious. Couldn't... more info
Customer Review: This book will definitely motivate you to get outside and run. It's a great story with a little bit of evolutionary theory thrown in as well; such as why humans stand upright and why we can run for a hundred miles.
Customer Review: On a whim, I bought Glenn Beck's book (paperback) because it looked like one that could be read in the car (while my inamorata was buying shoes), or easily read in the bathroom. I discovered I could do both, just not the easily part. Mr. Beck presents his views on the government, money, taxes,... more info

The story itself is... more info
Customer Review: Do you need to read this book in order to be successful in life or business? Probably not. However, this is a book that I purposely read slowly, one chapter at a time, because I would find myself thinking about the case studies and the principles that Gladwell used. Especially interesting was... more info
Customer Review: Mr. Levin hit it out of the park with this one. Thoroughly researched and grounded in the founding principles, this book is a must read for anyone seeking to understand Conservatism. It's appropriate for the times we now living, but it will certainly stand the test of time. These principles are... more info
Customer Review: This is an excellent discussion of the status of women in the world, especially the third world. It is shocking, and disgusting to read the descriptions of the common abusive treatment of women throughout the world. The resilience and progress of many women in spite of there suffering gives hope and... more info
