The Age of Manipulation: The Con in Confidence, The Sin in Sincere

12 reviews
Wilson Bryan Key

Madison Books, 1992

Excellent, funny, mind-boggling... A must!
I found "The Age of Manipulation" at a local library while I was doing a research about subliminal messages and I wanted to know why they're such a big deal for some people. I thought I was going to read about some conspiracy theory not to be taken seriously. After all, who needs hidden messages in the media when we have so many lies in our daily news and everything that's called ...

Fundamentals of Venture Capital

12 reviews
Joseph W. Bartlett

Madison Books, 1999

Quick Read
Given the overall complexity of the topic, I thought that this was an especially quick read. At the same time, it touched upon enough sub-topics and did so with sufficient detail to get a good overview of how VC approach new businesses. I did not think that this was the authoritative statement on any given point, but a solid primer. To the extent you need to know more about a topic, you should ...

Very highly recommended military history reading

The Spirit of Democratic Capitalism

5 reviews
Michael Novak

Madison Books, 1990

Brilliant, provocative, learned, faithful
Michael Novak is probably the foremost Christian thinker on the economy. Any of his books reward study, but "The Spirit of Democratic Capitalism" is undoubtedly his magnum opus. In this classic text, which has now been updated and revised, Novak joins issue with theologians like Paul Tillich who contend that "any serious Christian must be a socialist." It appeared in a samizdat (underground) ...

Guide to the Perfect Latin American Idiot

23 reviews
Mendoza/Montaner/Llosa

Madison Books, 2001

Latin American Idiots exposed...!!!
Those who give a bad review to this book simply haven't read it, or are too much in love with marxism. They're precisely the kind of people this book talks about: unreasonal, leftists, extremists that will find whatever excuse to deny true facts. "Right wing propaganda", "rightly garbagge", are only a few titles these people use, they even align with those who deny the Holocaust (Noam Chomsky). ...

For Good and Evil, Second Edition: The Impact of Taxes on the Course of Civilization

18 reviews
Charles Adams

Madison Books, 2001

Good But Tedious At Times
Revolts and revolutions start because of taxes. Civilizations end because of taxes. That's what we learn in Charles Adams' great work on the impact of taxes on the course of civilization. The American Revolution was only one instance of going against high and unfair taxation in a very long history of taxation, a history that begins in Egypt and ends (in this book) with 1910 in America. In ...

The Art of Drawing

Willy Pogany

Madison Books, 1996

Exactly the same book as Drawing Lessons
This is an excellent instruction book with beautiful drawings. Don't make my mistake, this is exactly the same book as "Drawing Lessons" by the same author.

Underdevelopment Is a State of Mind, Updated Edition: The Latin American Case

10 reviews
Lawrence E. Harrison

Madison Books, 2000

Good analysts of root causes, & indirectly the solutions
This book was first written in 1985 and revised in 2000. In a nut shell the author looks at the history of Latin America, and argues that the classic explanation of the Dependency theory of Latin America's poverty relative to the United States is wrong. For a long time many people in Latin America blamed their problems on the rest of the world, and often the United States was the source of most ...

A Short Course in the Secret War, 4th Edition

5 reviews
Christopher Felix

Madison Books, 2001

A study of principals and a first hand experience.
The author divides the book into two parts. The first examines some of the principals governing secret opperations generally. Here he clarifies what secret opperations are, what they are not, and what the language surrounding them means. He describes the rules of the game and how things work. This section is interesting, informative, and fun to read. In the second part of the text the ...

Color Me Beautiful's Looking Your Best: Color, Makeup and Style

21 reviews
Mary Spillane

Madison Books, 1995

Excellent Choice
This is an excellent book that elaborates on the very helpful Seasonal Color Theory. Not only does this book discuss color, it also reviews body types, personality styles, suggestions for approrpriate seasonal make-up and eyeglasses, plus other helpful hints. I am having great fun reading this book and applying some of the knowledge to my own life -- and I'm an almost seventy-year old woman! ...

Mastering Herbalism: A Practical Guide

10 reviews
Paul Huson

Madison Books, 2001

Great Magickal Herbal
This book was one of the first I bought to learn more about the use of herbs in Witchcraft and Magick. My copy is much love and I adore it. I have since then bought a pile of books on magickal herbalism, they have been stacked up in the hope that one day I will find a book that takes the work done by Paul Huson in this volume to the next level. There are books on my pile by most of the modern ...

Raymond M. Corbin

Madison Books, 1996

Great Book For Everyone
This book is filled with information about African-Americans and their accomplishments that every person should know. Do you know which U.S. President established the Office of Minority Affairs? Who was the first African-American to earn a Ph.D.? What state east of the Mississippi was the first to give African-American women the right to vote, in 1913? These are just some of the questions ...

Joy of Sports, Revised: Endzones, Bases, Baskets, Balls, and the Consecration of the American Spirit

1 review
Michael Novak

Madison Books, 1993

Play ball! God bless America
No less authority on America than Jacques Barzun said, "Whoever wants to know the heart and mind of America had better learn baseball." You can apply the same thought to heaven. When you ask a bricklayer what he does, he says, "I lay brick"...an author, "I write...", or machine operator, "I work at a machine". But ask an athlete, "I play ball..." with the operative word here "PLAY". There ...

Hattie: The Life of Hattie McDaniel

5 reviews
Carlton Jackson

Madison Books, 1993

Enlightening&respectful bio of an overlooked entertainer
Carlton Jackson has done a concise, literate job delving into the life and work of Hattie McDaniel. Not only do you get a clear sense of who she was and her talent as a performer, but also of the context and times in which she lived. Jackson sheds much-needed light on a seldom-seen side of Hollywood - the black side - as well as the struggles between commerce & equality that still exist ...

Crown of Thorns: The Reign of King Boris III of Bulgaria, 1918-1943

3 reviews
Stephane Groueff

Madison Books, 1998

A Crowning Achievement
Having just finished this book, I would recommend this to anyone...whether a student of the Balkans, Bulgaria, World War II...or someone looking for a non-fiction book that reads like an engrossing thriller. Almost unknown to most Americans, King Boris III lived a very interesting life, full of political intrigue, love, loss, and legacy. This was one book worth staying up late to read. I hate to ...

The Original Code in the Bible: Using Science and Mathematics to Reveal God's Fingerprints

11 reviews
Del Washburn

Madison Books, 1998

The God of Creation is a God of Numbers
The God that sent His Son the Lord Jesus Christ to die for the sins of His people on a cross of shame is indeed the God of the Bible, and the Author of it. This book is "must reading" for all those who want to know the God of creation better! I still do not know how theomatics works in the Scriptures, but this book is very clear, it is there, and it will not "go away"...!

Eco-Sanity: A Common-Sense Guide to Environmentalism

1 review
Joseph L. Bast

Madison Books, 1996

Very good critique of "mainstream" environmentalism.
This book, out now for almost nine years, has never received the attention it deserves. Bast, Hill and Rue survey the major tendencies among radical environmentalists--"greens"--and have produced the most objective evaluation I've yet to run across that ought to be accessible to the nonspecialist. In fact, considering the scope and complexity of their subject matter, it is amazing that they have ...
