The Invisible Heart: An Economic Romance

33 reviews
Russell Roberts

The MIT Press, 2002

A love story for the `Free-Market Romantic.'
I always thought that free-market enthusiasts got an unfair shake when it came to `Matters of the Heart" (free-marketers get a bad shake on almost everything, but especially this.) For too long, `love' and `caring' have been concepts monopolized by the John Lennon's and Michael Moore's of the world. Now, Russell Roberts has formed a romance that finally does justice to the romantic ...

The Future of Media: Resistance and Reform in the 21st Century

1 review

Seven Stories Press, 2005

Forward Media Democracy
There is a simmering undercurrent of media activism brewing out there amongst the public. Plenty of regular folks are getting fed up with the corporate consolidation of media outlets, with the resulting sameness of content, the relentless advertising and push for profitability, and the disappearance of localism and dissenting viewpoints. Though this book is unlikely to be a widespread influence ...

Bed, Breakfast & Bike Midwest (Cycling Tours)

Well Researched--Interesting and an Easy Read
What a great book-- well researched and a very interesting, easy read. Not being familiar with the B & B's in the Midwest I spent a days beer allowance (in what I hoped would be a good investment) to learn about the area, the accommodations, and the trails. I can only imagine the voluminous research that went into the investigation of the various places mentioned in the book by the Russell's. ...

The Choice: A Fable of Free Trade and Protection (3rd Edition)

3 reviews
Russell Roberts

Prentice Hall, 2006

How free trade benefits us all
This is the third edition of Roberts' novel about the benefits of free trade, using "It's a Wonderful Life" as his template. David Ricardo "touches down" from heaven to earth (like Clarence), to help convince Ed (George Bailey) that he should not support protectionism. The previous versions focused more on threats that were perceived from Japan and Nafta. Here, Roberts uses India and China as his ...

The Price of Everything: A Parable of Possibility and Prosperity
Russell Roberts

Princeton University Press, 2008

Stanford University student and Cuban American tennis prodigy Ramon Fernandez is outraged when a nearby mega-store hikes its prices the night of an earthquake. He crosses paths with provost and economics professor Ruth Lieber when he plans a campus protest against the price-gouging retailer--which is also a major donor to the university. Ruth begins a dialogue with Ramon about prices, prosperity, and innovation and their role in our daily lives. ...

You Too Can Be Prosperous

DeVorss & Company, 1975

You, Too, Can Be Prosperous
This book was copyrighted in 1950. I was cleaning out my book shelf and discovered it. Since it was so old I figured it would be old stuff. But, rather than put it in the "Good Will" pile, I decided to read it again. I couldn't put it down. I am now ready to "understand" the message the author is sending. This is powerful stuff he is giving us. I recommend this book to everyone. Thank you ...

An important study for our entrance into an age unfettered by a religious system repressing scientific progress, moving toward the merging of science and new religious study.

It aims at a thorough understanding of the field by giving an in-depth analysis of the numerical methods by using decoupling principles. Numerous exercises and real-world examples are used throughout to demonstrate the methods and the theory. Although first published in 1988, this ...

The island,

1 review
Robert Russell

Vanguard Press, 1973

An important book to me
I first read The Island when I was 16. That was 27 years ago now, when my father and I were building a family cottage on Lake Ontario, very near to the mouth of the St Lawrence river where this story is set. That cottage had been my father's lifelong dream, and mine as well. The story that Russell tells resonated with me then. It was an idyllic story of bucolic pleasures involving self ...

Resurrection: Theological and Scientific Assessments

1 review

Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Company, 2002

Much needed study of the heart of Christian Belief!
This is a great set of essays by some very learned and reader friendly Theologians and Scientists. Though the subject is a very weighty and complex one, the essays are understandable, to the average person for the most part. I like the fact that they take the Christian claim of Resurrection seriously, and try to understand it from a perspective of a culture shaped by Science. I do wish an essay ...

Quantum Cosmology and the Laws of Nature: Scientific Perspectives on Divine Action (Series on Divine Action ...

2 reviews

University of Notre Dame Press, 1997

getting religion and cosmology together
Finding intersections between religion and science is tricky business, given that they haven't been on serious speaking terms for a couple of hundred years. I thought this book, in the area of cosmology, did an excellent job of making connections between quantum cosmology and orthodox christianity. While it does not propose pat answers, and refuses to sign up to anyone's dogma, it offers ...

Tony Ray-Jones
Russell Roberts

Chris Boot, 2004

At the time of his tragic death in 1972, aged 30, Tony Ray-Jones had already made an indelible mark on photography. Developing his vision in New York and expressing it in his affectionate and ironic studies of the British at leisure, he was almost single--handedly responsible for the birth of contemporary art-photography in Britain. Produced in association with the National Museum of Photography and accompanying its major new touring exhibition, ...
