8 reviews
Adam Hamilton

Abingdon Press, 2005

Facing Up To the Issues--From a True Christian Perspective, One of Love, Care and Grace
Truly great study of the issues facing today's society and a Christian, a true Christian, response to those issues. This book is not, repeat IS NOT, for those Christians who claim to have and to know all the answers, those who are quick to judge and condemn, but slow to understand or accept the concept Jeus preached most--grace. This book is for the caring, concerned Christian trying to ...

A great overview of the topic
This book provides well thought out answers for the issues raised by the KJO movement. It also provides ample documentation of sources, something that is solely lacking from the other side. If you want answers and not dogma read this book.

Controversies in Voting Behavior

1 review

CQ Press, 2001

More Informative than Controversial
This volume collects influential articles in political science, dealing with issues that might be rather contentious, if you happen to be student or professor in the field. "Controversies" is hardly an accurate title for this book, except that some of these articles probably inspired two professors to argue with each other over the results of tedious multiple regression analyses of voting ...

Inspiring Collection
I bought this book for a philosophy class on Contemporary Moral Issues, and it covered all topics very well with readings from major philosophers and distinguished modern professors. It's a great way to learn the basics of philosophy (Utilitarianism, Kant, etc) and get you thinking about the problems we face today. I'd never thought so deeply about affirmative action, animal rights, the death ...

The Rigoberta Menchu Controversy

2 reviews

University of Minnesota Press, 2001

All-Opinions-Accepted, No-Holds-Barred
What makes this book important is that every essay is different. Some contributors side with Rigoberta Menchu, others with David Stoll, while still others take a bigger picture view and otherwise make significant contributions to the debate. What comes out of this book is that Mr. Stoll did not clearly explain the important points he was trying to make in "Rigoberta Menchu and the Story of All ...

Donald P. Kauchak, Paul D. Eggen, ...

Prentice Hall, 2004

The Subtitle Should Be The Title!
Wow! As a new teacher-in-training this book really shook me to the core. They don't shy away from anything: Gender, Race, High Stakes Testing (very bad according to this), School Vouchers (also very bad), Creationism / Intelligent Design, Dress Codes, Character Education, etc. No stone seems left unturned, no toes not stepped on at least once. The articles are well written and discussion ...
