Alex Jones Productions, 2003

I DEMAND THE TRUTH!
I haven't read this book, but I desperately want to. I want the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth of the so-called "terrorist attacks" of September 11,2001 in America. All that is coming from the American media - be it in the form of television, newspapers, magazines, or radio - concerning 9/11 is garbage. The powers that be are shoving heaps of lies, ramming it down our throats, ...

Joseph F. Hurley

Bonacom Pubns, 1999

Terrific guide to a new way to save for college.
Highly recommended. This is the first comprehensive analysis that I've seen of an extremely important and relatively new way to save on a tax-deferred basis for your children's or grandchildren's college expenses. It's well-written, comprehensive, and objective, and it gave me enough data to make an informed decision. Before I opened the book, I had researched New York's plan through another ...

He has worked as a foreign correspondent for Time, ABC, and most notably the Washington Post. And he is currently a Professor at the Columbia ...

Zahi Hawass

National Geographic, 2005

Very good book
I bought the book before seeing the tour in Philly. The book is very well done, and very good representation of the tour. Beautiful photographs, plus good rich text around the history of the 18th dynasty. Other reviews talk about the tour, which isn't really what the book is about. The tour was rather crowded, and I was somewhat disappointed that all the objects were small, and no Tut ...

Ray Bradbury

Simon & Schuster, 1993

Eerie reflection on our American culture today
Fahrenheit 451 is a book with incredible meaning for our American culture today. It begins in an unknown city somewhere in America in years and decades directly after the McCarthy era levels of censorship. Media has become the center of American culture, and many people's parlor walls are covered with giant, super-enhanced HDTVs, lowering their level of interaction with each other to almost ...

Nancy Caro Hollander

Rutgers University Press, 1997

Psychoanalysis meets Marxism meets Transnational Psychology
Not many US psychologists know a lot about psychology in Latin America, whether in terms of history or theory. Nancy Caro Hollander's book provides an interesting introduction to both through the use of historical memoir centering upon six prominent psychologists--many of them European emigres--situated in the Southern Cone region (Chile, Argentina, and Uruguay). Her narrative examines how ...

Mark Ensalaco

University of Pennsylvania Press, 1999

Chile Under Pinochet
Dr. Ensalaco is one of my professors at the University of Dayton. We had to read this book for his Political Violence course. The book is extremely insightful and probes deeply into the repression of the political left under the Pinochet regime. The information isn't just anti-Pinochet propganda, but gives the facts from both sides of the repression, from assassination attempts by the left to ...
