Book Tree, 2000

G Prasad's insightful analysis of the world's religions.
I was familiar with the book before I bought it. But had I know it was so profound in its simplicity, I would have purchased it many years ago. Prasad does not have a hidden agenda. He just presents his case is a clear logical form. No dogma, no bias, just very well thought out and logical. If you are interested in TRULY knowing where ALL the world's religions came from, in a no nonsense ...

Berlin: beset and bedevilled (Tinderbox of the world)

William H. Conlan

Fountainhead Publishers, 1963

From Major General Ginder's Introduction to the book
"...the events which brought about the present deplorable situation (of the divided city of Berlin 120 miles behind the Iron Curtain) are almost impossible to comprehend except by persons familiar with all the facts... it is appropriate that Bill Conlan has undertaken the task of presenting the facts about Berlin in this narrative, which gives the reader an excellent insight into the lives of the ...

American Renaissance for the Twenty-First Cen, 2000

Now I REALLY Know Why Art Is Important!
Ms. York does not simply explain why art is important. She also explains why art is important to YOU. She motivates you, the reader, to both appreciate and understand what various works of art are "saying" to you. Her style is enlightened but in no way pretentious. Also, as an added bonus, she offers many excellent insights on psychology and society. She is one of the very few intellectuals I ...

The Ayn Rand Institute: For Advancement of Objectivism
Howard Roark, struggling architect, has to compete with meritocracy and the system. He has no intention of corrupting his principals. The world (good guys and bad guys) plans to do that for him. So he finds a unique solution. I have read the book, saw the movie (1949, Gary Cooper, Patricia Neal, and Raymond Massey) and listened to the audio tapes.

The Architecture of Exclusion: Professional Self-Regulation : Fountainhead of the Pseudo-Elite

1 review
Robert T. Munger

Nova Arch Pub, 1992

Interesting Case Study
The treatise provides an interesting case study of the inner workings of professional self-regulation, which is practiced widely in the USA for all of the "learned professions," as well as some that are more mundane. Through litigation and discovery, the author challenged the architectural profession's licensing examination. The controversial design exam was abolished nationwide approximately 1 ...

The Ultimate Book of Excuses: Fresh, Exciting, Scintillating Excuses (Just Add Water)

Fountainhead Pub, 1995

This is a must have, frighteningly hilarious resource book.
Anyone in need of a zany and rollicking excuse need look no further than the frighteningly hilarious "The Ultimate Book of Excuses." I have a dozen copies on my shelf which I give as gifts after each birthday I forget: but not until I use one of its excuses like "I thought you were dead," or "I paid a clown with a hacking cough to knock on your door and sing 'Born Free' but he just screamed and ...

The Fountainhead : A Fiftieth Anniversary Celebration

David Kelley, Stephen Cox

The Objectivist Center, 1993

The Fountainhead from a young girls point of view
From being secretly admired yet shunned for his bizarre modernistic architectural style, from being loved and loathed alike by the only woman he will ever have, this story of Howard Roark is both compelling and heartbreaking. Set in the roaring 20's, though not any of the focus of the book, Howard Roark sets off to do what he loves, having no one stand in his way and having no one tell him how to ...

Robert A. Mayhew

Lexington Books, 2006

INSIGHT INTO THE GREAT CLASSIC!
Most people don't read literary criticism for pleasure. With good reason: most of it's pretentious, muddle-headed, even corrupt, spouting the poisonous dogma that your mind can't see facts, all it sees is warped by "class, race, and gender." (Then how can they claim that as fact?) This book is a glowing exception. It's a clear, straightforward, helpful, and fascinating look at Ayn Rand's ...

Ayn Rand

MacMillan Publishing Company, 1979

timely and essential
If you are a conservative, a libertarian, or at least a thinking person this is a must read. Objectivism would be such a valuable paradigm for people to embrace, especially in the 'modern' world where 'second-handism' seems to tbe the coin of the realm. Do yourself and the rest of us a favor, and get this book as well as Atlas Shrugged. Read, Reflect, Repeat

Ayn Rand's "The Fountainhead": A Study Guide from Gale's "Novels for Students" (Volume 16, Chapter 5)

1 review

The Gale Group, 2003

A Good Companion, but not a stand alone item.
This book is quite tough for many of the high school students I work with. It's not uncommon for me to team teacher--as a USHistory teacher with the English teacher. She works forms and I teach the context and social history. This is a helpful tool in the toolbox BUT not a good substitute for the student slaving away over this very long novel. This item is fairly complex in itself and it may ...

Charles R. Stone

University of Hawaii Press, 2003

Scholarly, but still fun
I had very little idea what this book was about - a translation and commentary on the Ruyijun zhuan, plus whatever clue lies in the title. I got a lot more than I expected. The central part of this book is the promised translation. The fiction in it turned out to be based loosely (maybe very loosely) on the historical life of emperor Wu Zitian. She was not only the one female emperor in ...

Gower Publishing Company, 1988

Excellent introduction to Von Mises.
Professor Butler's "Von Mises" is an excellent introduction to the works and thought of Ludwig Von Mises. I am familiar with many of Von Mises' works, and was very impressed with the way that Professor Butler was able to capture the essence of Von Mises' thought in such a clear and concise manner. I strongly recommend "Von Mises" to anyone seeking an introduction to Ludwig Von Mises, or to ...

Den Uyl

Twayne Publishers, 1999

A brief but wonderful discussion of a masterpiece
I concur with Tibor Machan who writes at The Daily Objectivist website:"The bulk of Den Uyl's analysis shows that not only is Ayn Rand's book inspiring, as art often ought to be; not only is it philosophically meaty, as many classic novels surely have been; not only is it a brilliantly crafted story in which complex lives of characters develop in intriguing ways-but it is also a literary ...

Shinto; at the fountain-head of Japan

Jean Herbert

Stein and Day, 1967

+++ Shinto -- At the Fountain-head of Japan +++
This book is a full overview of "Shinto" and its various aspects. It is almost one of a kind, as it seems like many books on "Shinto" are relatively short and narrow, thereby perhaps more readable for many folks. The author, Jean Herbert, spent decades in Japan interviewing many Shintoists and preparing material for this book. Various questions about "Shinto" are well met by Jean Herbert via such ...

Cliffs Notes, 2000

A huge surprise
I have read the Fountainhead many times and I was pleasantly surprised by this cliffs notes summary and analysis of the book. It includes a short biography of Ayn Rand but the bulk of the book is spent on detailed going over of Ayn Rand's plot, theme, and characters. It is fascinating to read an intelligent analysis of the characters I love. The gems of the book are the two critical essays; ...
