Why Humanae Vitae Was Right: A Reader 3 reviews
Ignatius Press, 1993
Thanks to Janet Smith...
+ Prophetic Teaching + Convincing
...my husband decided to not use any method of artificial birth control. It was a struggle for both of us, but this book really put the moral law into perspective. Janet Smith does a wonderful (and very non-preachy job) of explaining what contraception does to a marriage. In particular, the ...

The Ultimate Resource 2 39 reviews Julian Lincoln Simon
Princeton University Press, 1998
Simon would still win today
+ A formative book for me + Simon research is revealing and a joy too study!
If you examine the history of all "resources" you discover that they do become cheaper and more abundant over time. Why? In the better book, The Unltimate Resource, Simon goes into much more in depth research and analysis. The human mind is the "Ultimate Resource."
Lets take one example, ...

The Ultimate Resource 2 reviews Julian L. Simon
Princeton Univ Pr, 1983
Wonderful. Much needed. Now more than ever.
+ Exposes Over-Population Myth
I was first introduced to the first edition of the book while in college many years ago. I always like to go back and read even now.
Simon pulls apart many radical environmentalist myths in one fell swoop, explaining that beyond oil, fiber, and chemicals, the ultimate resource is the human mind ...

Embryo: A Defense of Human Life 11 reviews Robert P. George, Christopher Tollefsen
Doubleday, 2008
A great resource
+ A Profound Defense of Human Life. + Excellent and comprehensive book

Men and Marriage 14 reviews George Gilder
Pelican Publishing Company, 1992
Equality is Not 'Sameness'
+ Greg Cello + Both academic and entertaining...
This book received a lot of flack when it first came out. The demand for equality among men and women was finally being accepted as a proper ideal for a civilized society, and anyone who disagreed was deservedly shouted down. But amidst the great din, it was presumed with terrible shallowness that ...

Creative Fidelity 1 review Gabriel Marcel
Fordham University Press, 2002
Maybe You Had To Have Been There
The reason for this review is to assure anyone who reads this book that there are other works by Marcel well worth their time. Creative Fidelity was a real surprise to me: rambling, disjointed, and obviously written for an audience already well familiar with Marcel's concerns. This book appeared ...
