Mating in Captivity: Reconciling the Erotic and the Domestic 32 reviews
Esther Perel
HarperCollins, 2006
A lifechanging book for women and men
Perel's message is that good intimacy doesn't necessarily lead to good sex. In fact, closeness can dull our sexual appetites if we abandon the need for excitement and adventure in the need for predictability, comfort, and safety. So the dilemma is (in her terms) how do we put the X back in sex?
I love that she doesn't offer us easy how-tos. She tackles the complexities of sexual desire as ...

Michal Anne Pepper
Pilgrim Press, 2003
Wonderful book!
My church loves this book so much that we gave away 300 at Pride! The book is perfect either for individual study or for small groups. So many at Pride who read the introduction said that the book seemed as though it was written just for them. The Sundays after Pride, we had new people each week at my church, who came carrying their Reconciling Journey books ready to work through them.

Families That Work: Policies For Reconciling Parenthood And Employment
Janet C. Gornick, Marcia K. Meyers
Russell Sage Foundation Publications, 2005
Parents around the world grapple with the common challenge of balancing work and childcare. Despite common problems, the advanced, industrialized nations have developed dramatically different social and labor market policies—policies that vary widely in the level of support they provide for parents and the extent to which they encourage an equal division of labor between parents as they balance work and care. In Families That Work, Janet ...

Group Decision Making: Drawing Out and Reconciling Differences
Thomas L. Saaty
RWS Publications, 2007
When a group makes a decision, that decision carries a lot more weight than when just one person does it. Think of the founding fathers of the American constitution and how much power and influence their ideas have had in the entire world for more than two hundred years. Also think of gravity, a universal force brought about by an enormous number of minute particles that band together to make a universal law. Together, they create a massive ...

Daniel Dennett: Reconciling Science and Our Self-Conception (Key Contemporary Thinkers)2 reviews
Matthew Elton
Polity, 2003
Excellent overview
Matthew Elton provides an excellent account of Dennett's work. The book goes beyond being an introduction. In his presentation of Dennett's view on intentionality and consciousness, Elton systematizes were Dennett is eclectic, points out flaws in arguments and at times improves on them (no, not on the flaws). I'm less enthusiastic about his appraisal of Dennett on Darwin and on free will and ...

At the Root of This Longing: Reconciling a Spiritual Hunger and a Feminist Thirst 12 reviews
Carol L. Flinders
HarperOne, 1999
Highly Recommended
This book was excellent and thought-provoking. The topics raised are pertinent to every woman who values her spiritual and feminist sides. Dr. Flinders examines disparate issues which are troubling to many women. She does this in a way that is meant not so much to solve the issues but simply to raise them as subjects to be examined and brought to the light of day. I have recommended this ...

Before Darwin: Reconciling God and Nature1 review
Keith Stewart Thomson
Yale University Press, 2007
It Didn't Start With Darwin
Caught up in our own times, we can easily be deceived into thinking that the battle between those who view the Bible as literally true and the scientists who come up with demonstrations that it is not is something that started sometime around the Scopes trial. We might push back and concede that the controversy began with Darwin and his famous theory, but this is wrong, too. The battle between ...

Principles For A Free Society: Reconciling Individual Liberty With The Common Good3 reviews
Richard A. Epstein
Basic Books, 2002
Another gem by Richard Epstein
Richard Epstein (author of "Takings" & "Forbidden Grounds") offers up this collection of essays on why economic liberty works for the benefit of virtually everyone, while planned economies don't. Epstein is a brilliant logician and wordsmith who can draw even the most skeptical into his web of reason. He doesn't argue that free market liberalism is best because it is the most moral, but because ...

Lingua ex Machina: Reconciling Darwin and Chomsky with the Human Brain 2 reviews
William H. Calvin, Derek Bickerton
The MIT Press, 2001
Conversation on conversation
The so-called "reconcilation" promised by the title is not entirely delivered. Both Calvin and Bickerton seem too taken with their respective ideas. It is an interesting discussion nonetheless, and good points are made by both writers.
