Crashing Through: The Extraordinary True Story of the Man Who Dared to See

59 reviews
Robert Kurson

Random House Trade Paperbacks, 2008

Informative, distinctive perspective on vision
Every wonder what it would like to be blind? And after learning how to live well without sight, to have sight restored? That's the tale told here: a true journey from loss (at age 3) to regaining sight (in midlife). This book really helps me (and my students) understand how one can be happy, productive, and popular even without one of the basic senses, and how life overall shifts when that sense ...

Crashing the Gate: Netroots, Grassroots, and the Rise of People-Powered Politics

95 reviews
Jerome Armstrong, Markos Moulitsas

Chelsea Green, 2006

Moulitsas and Armstrong present a compelling case
that the Democratic Party has only itself to blame for its recent retreat into second-class status. Party hacks, consultants and pollsters, whose motives have been less than altruistic, have operated with impunity for decades, and have driven this once muscular party into an impotent shell of its former self. This has led to a dangerous situation of one-party dominance. As the public ...

Alternative Medicine For Corporate Aristocracy
This is an excellent book on the issues that face American politics today, the views of Ralph Nader and his story relating to the 2000 election year and his campaign trail. The book raises awareness to the issues of corporate welfare practiced by both the Republican and Democratic parties, how the Democrats have morphed into a pseudo-Republican party, under the heavy influence of corporate ...

Keli Goff

Basic Civitas Books, 2008

A Must-Read for All the Political Junkies Out There
For decades, the Democratic Party has been able to count on almost the entire black vote. But as we progress beyond the Civil Rights Movement, and as African-Americans join the ranks of the middle class in increasing numbers, an undivided black vote is no longer something Democrats can take for granted...or so argues Keli Goff in her thought-provoking "Party Crashing." Goff's analysis is ...

Excellent book on PTSD
Terry Wardle uses his own life experiences to illustrate PTSD triggers and how to help a person who is experiencing this as a result of a traumatic past. I highly recommend this book both to those afflicted and those who are caregivers to those suffering.

Crashing Satan's Party: Destroying the Works of the Adversary in Your Life

Millicent Thompson

Treasure House, 1996

Power-packed with the "RIGHT STUFF" to defeat the devil!
Reading this book opened my eyes even more in recognizing the enemy and what he and his spirits try to do to the saints daily. This book re-affirms that God has not given us the spirit of fear. Reading this book assists in "polishing" the armor that we already possess and making us strong soldiers in the army of the Lord.

Crashing America: A Novel

Katia Noyes

Alyson Books, 2005

"I Was Alive and Going To Stay Alive"
Wish there was a book like CRASHING AMERICA when I was a boy. It's the kind of book they should issue to teens as soon as they get into middle school. Twice I had read it, but it wasn't until a recent trip crisscrossing America, "trying to find a way inside," in the footsteps of Noyes' implacable heroine "Girl," not until I was tangled up with road maps did I really understand it. For ...
