Liberal tract
Revisado: 10-13-21
Wow. There is so much special pleading in this book. It's like the very definition of special pleading.
Should have a disclaimer that it is a liberal tract, for the purpose of liberal proselytizing.

Ebenezer Scrooge would seem an unlikely source from which to glean financial wisdom. However, Dickens' classic tale of how Scrooge left behind his miserly ways and transformed into a joyful, compassionate and generous man is a powerful model we all can benefit from today. Written for the layperson, this book provides advice that is simple, transformational, and timeless.

pop psychology applied to financial therapy
Revisado: 12-09-19
pop psychology applied to financial therapy, with Dickens' classic used as a wrapper. a non directive, Rogers, and or cold, Freudian approach is the wrong direction to go when dealing with other's financial health and well-being.

In Anna Clark's full account of this American tragedy, The Poisoned City recounts the gripping story of Flint’s poisoned water through the people who caused it, suffered from it, and exposed it. It is a chronicle of one town, but could also be about any American city, all made precarious by the neglect of infrastructure and the erosion of democratic decision making. Places like Flint are set up to fail - and for the people who live and work in them, the consequences can be fatal.

interesting, but economically wanting
Revisado: 01-21-19
interesting analysis, but the sub-theme of economic disaster was under-developed. propose long term solutions, please.

Bacon. McDonalds. Cinnabon. Hot Pockets. Kale. Stand-up comedian and author Jim Gaffigan has made his career rhapsodizing over the most treasured dishes of the American diet (“choking on bacon is like getting murdered by your lover”) and decrying the worst offenders (“kale is the early morning of foods”).

The revised and updated edition of Lt. Col. Dave Grossman's modern classic about the psychology of combat, hailed by the Washington Post as "an illuminating account of how soldiers learn to kill and how they live with the experiences of having killed". In World War II, only 15 to 20 percent of combat infantry were willing to fire their rifles. In Korea, about 50 percent. In Vietnam, the figure rose to more than 90 percent. The good news is that most soldiers are loath to kill.

a needful telling, thoughtful societal analysis
Revisado: 03-02-18
this book is entirely worth the stories of the soldiers who have experienced killing first hand. as a veteran myself I feel all the more indebted to my brothers in arms who have deployed, engaged the enemy, seen Brothers in Arms fall, and have had to take life themselves. whether you agree with Colonel Grossman on his analysis near the end of the book or not it is important to hear him out. he imparts an important warning for all of us about the direction of our society and how we might better foster a life ethic within our culture.
