Three Rivers Press, 2003
Veritas
+ Slander + Brilliant with Clarity
That reported in the media erroneously can sometimes be classified as libel. Lies repeated at cocktail parties, even by those in the media, merit the classification of slander.
Those struggling to discover what is cropping up on the political horizon need only read Ms. Coulter's excellent book. ...

Educational Psychology: Windows on Classrooms (6th Edition) 4 reviews Paul D. Eggen, Donald P. Kauchak
Prentice Hall, 2003
Great Text
+ Great for the NMTA Teacher Competency
I feel that I need to give this book a review because no one has as of yet. The reviews that are here are on the service of amazon and not on the text itself.

Dell, 1968
This book changed my life
+ Always go to the source + Man and his symbols - a must have

The 16th American President on the therapist's couch

This book is a wonder insight into the psyche of Abraham Lincoln. This book focuses on the history of Lincoln, not so much the history of his political terms as president, rather the history behind the morals and personality of the man himself. Charles Strozier does a wonderful job in piecing ...

The Public Philosophy 4 reviews Walter Lippmann
Transaction Publishers, 1989
One of my favorites...
+ A Timeless insight at the psyche of politics + Lippmann's The Public Philosophy: Still Relevant Today
Walter Lippmann is one of my favorite non-fiction writers. He is a brilliant man, and his work has contributed greatly to the modern American political landscape. It's sad to see this book going out of print. Few tomes grant such insight into the fundamental weaknesses of democratic nations. In ...

Chelsea Green, 2004
Thinking Outside THE Box
+ Good framework for framing + A must read for the prograssives (or Liberal crowd) especially volunteers for the DNC!
I was one of millions of people who watched Faux News only-just 'for fun'.
Now I understand why 9 million dollar salary of Bill O'reilly worth every penny.
