Still useful despite being written 2 decades ago
This is a terrific book. The history section is naturally outdated, but some people could still benefit from this book: -Businessmen: you usually deal with rich people when you come here and the upper-class in here has not evoluted very much since the mid 80's. It seems they have changed quite a bit, but not so. Most of them are still pretty much the same deeply religious Catholic people. You ...

A Completely Believable Theory of How the White Race was Invented in America
To the extent that all our history is but a conduit back to our collective national memory, this sophisticated book chips away at the "Rosetta Stone" coiled in the nation's bosom: It uncovers one of the key sources of our obsession with the issue of race, and racism. But race, in this context has to do, not so much with black and white issues, as with red and white issues. Unlike the familiar ...

Jan T. Gross

Princeton University Press, 2001

The murderer in you and me
The reason why half a Polish village one day in 1941 killed the other half was -alledgedly- anti-Semitism. Actually it could have been any other reason, as it could have been any other place in the world. When hatred, envy, and the darkest in the human soul is countinuously aroused against a population, then these things happen, even today. This book serves as a warning to evil sowers of ...

The best one's on page 77
I won't quote it, but I've read it many a time in public places to my friends. The book (and the website) are possibly in vein of the trend that is taking over the pop culture. Post Secret, Found and the like have all published confessions and pieces of crap that people write. We all want to know what's going on in other people's mind and this is the book that makes it possible to see the ...

Ivy Books, 1995

Polyamory, pornography, and the 1970s sex industry

He threw himself into his work with enthusiasm. He lived the life he studied and the results of his work are in this book. But this is not just one man's report from the sexual frontier.

Reader Review of Neighbor Power
It was cheering to learn that, in a city obsessed with reaching impossible consensus before acting, things are actually getting done here.

If you're an activist, you'll find some concrete, useful theories and techniques on how to accomplish your goals. I'm no activist. But reading about ...

While I was going into my fourth year of high school education in Bulgaria, boys and girls my age were being raped ...
