The Great Western Divide8 reviews
John Spivey

CrowsCry Press, 2005

The Simplest Journey is Often the Most Difficult
"The Buddha once delivered a sermon by holding a single flower aloft. Kashyapa saw the flower and smiled. He understood as the others only puzzled and because of this became the first Zen Patriarch." As with much of John Spivey's hypnotic, multi-dimensional tale of personal redemption offered to us a way to also cease being one the Living Dead, the answer to this riddle on page 104 appears ...

Silent Racism: How Well-Meaning White People Perpetuate the Rac Divide8 reviews
Barbara Trepagnier

Paradigm Publishers, 2007

silent rcism: how well meaning white people perpetuate the racial devide
Written by a person who seem to have spent some time studying the subject. She identifies the major issues blocking most people from understanding their internalized feeling about people of color. Although she writes mostly about the relationships between Whites and Blacks, she does state the other people's of color are affected in a like manner. I do wish to point out that the relationship ... 		  
  







  
  
Bridging the Divide: My Life10 reviews
Edward William Brooke

Rutgers, 2006

Whatever happened to Edward Brooke?
As I was reading a newspaper article about this book recently it occurred to me that I hadn't heard Edward Brooke's name in a long time. After finishing his book, I'm glad I remember him. Though not from Massachusetts myself, I did follow his career when he was in the Senate. Senator Brooke writes forcefully on a number of issues....the racism he faced growing up in Washington D.C. and which ...

Diana McLain Smith

Portfolio Hardcover, 2008

Hands Down to a World-classed Practitioner!
When I first got this book on hand, there was only one review in the Amazon.com. And when I finished the book, and wanting to write my comment on it, it already goes to nine (reviews)! And this is only one month's time. And I must say the responds to this book haven't surprised me. It deserves a full-hall stand-up applause. I have heard about Smith's name for quite a while, mainly from the ... 		  
  







  
  
The Great Divide: The failure of Islam and the Triumph of the West10 reviews
Alvin J. Schmidt

Regina Orthodox Press, 2004

Sociologist Compares Christianity to Islam
Schmidt writes this perspective on Islam from a sociologist's perspective also viewing it somewhat from the viewpoint of history and theology. He convincingly shows that the current view of Islam's history and beliefs compared with Christianity's is somewhat distorted and untrue. He aspect by aspect shows how today's world is not shown the entire breath of Islam's past and current cultural ... 		  
  







  
  
The Backbone of the World: A Portrait of a Vanishing Way of Life Along the Continental Divide15 reviews
Frank Clifford

Broadway, 2002

The dark side: insightful and honest
Anyone interested in reading about the glamorized West - artist retreats in Santa Fe, Denver socialites, ski resorts in million-dollar-home settings - will probably be disappointed in this book. Frank Clifford instead takes the reader to isolated outposts where people are just barely surviving: a sheep rancher north of Vail who lives in a ramshackle trailer; one of the last residents of Jeffrey ...

Urdu/Hindi: An Artificial Divide (HC) (Politics of Language)10 reviews
Abdul Jamil Khan

Algora Publishing, 2006

An Impeccable Gem
Dr. Jamil Khan does not shy away from introducing a new theory: that the British Empire deliberately created an "artificial divide" in the language of the Indian Hindus and Muslims. Instead of going along with the masses, Dr.Khan painstakingly researches and questions what has been largely accepted for generations-and offers an answer that fits even better. He discusses how, contrary to what ... 		  
  







  
  
An Aussie In America: Laughter And Lessons Across The Cultural Divide4 reviews
Anne Maxwell High

Writers' Collective, 2006

A little slice of heaven
This book is most likely the best book that I have never read. I know the author quite well, and am proud of her accomplishments, who knows why she told me that I could write her a review on Amazon? The only complaint that I have about her book is that it does not properly disclose the dangers of high fructose corn syrup, or how prevalent this "syrup" is in America, as an Australian visiting ...

The Myths That Divide Us: How Lies Have American Race Relations, Second Edition7 reviews
John Perazzo

World Studies Books, 1999

Required reading for the societally aware!
This is an excellent book. In it, John Perazzo examines, chapter by chapter, some of the common myths and sociological fables that continue to separate parts of the US populace today. Perhaps his most valuable contribution is showing how so-called leaders such as Jackson and Sharpton have twisted reality to suit their own ends. To me, the most compelling and honest part of the book looked at ...

What a fantastic read! I couldn't put the book down because the author does such a wonderful job of catching the reader up in her story. I loved Van Haltern's character development & her ability to transport her readers into the land of the unknown. Joe Randolf, Jay Sarte, & Shro became part of my dreams as well as my fantasies! I'm looking forward to the author's next publication. Dr. ...

America Beyond Black and White: How Immigrants and Fusions Are Helping Us Overcome the Racial Divide ...3 reviews
Ronald Fernandez

University of Michigan Press, 2007

Beyond Black and White by Ronald Fernandez
This is an interesting, compact, eminently readable book, loaded with (unfortunately) ugly information about immigration laws, social attitudes about race, and our even uglier obsession with black and white. Although the book is full of depressing facts and figures, Fernandez finds energy and enthusiasm in our diversity, and makes this almost a "how-to" book, by challenging the reader to stop ...
