Excellent book on recovery

Revisado: 05-13-17

Here is a great book supporting the need for Syringe exchange program, medication assisted therapy, psychological services, and policy change. All the familiar players, such as National Drug Alliance and Harm Reduction Coalition, are mentioned.

Deeply thoughtful

Revisado: 01-11-17

Profoundly disturbing and deadly accurate description of the oversized role billionaire money plays in federal elections. Moreover, in the 2010 state legislature elections, dark money won about 670 seats for Republicans across all states, with North Carolina flipping red for the first since Sherman. The last sentence of the book is hilarious.

Utterly fascinating in breadth of topics

Revisado: 01-04-17

Pulls together world history, biology, old and new agriculture, and modern life while somehow relating them to one another. One of my favorite parts was the discussion of animal husbandry, which explains how society can support 7 billion sapiens, but does so by supporting 700,000,000 tons of animals for meat while there are only 300,000,000 tons of people en masse and 100,000,000 tons of wild animals. Another intriguing discussion is how wheat has domesticated man (rather than vice versa) and he explains how man is a good slave to wheat, carrying pails of water to give to the thirsty wheat. Also, our nutrition today is not as nutritious as hunter gatherers, and our genetic inheritance predisposes is to obesity.

Great book

It met my expectations by providing evidence that good people are divided by religion and politics. It also provided solid research evidence to back up the claim. I also liked that the online material, such as book figures, was available to go along with the audio version. An added bonus is that the author reads the audio book.

Loved the discussion tying health inequity to income inequity. Thanks for a great discussion on ways to increase voter turnout

Inspiring look at religion and politics

Revisado: 04-12-15

It rises above my expectations. One of the most poignant moments is the story of Maximillian, who steps in to sacrifice his life for another soldier who is being executed to save the pleading man's life, a move approved by the Nazis conducting the execution. Another moving narrative is that of Bonhoffer, who prayed for God's forgiveness even while he tried to suppress his human plans, however sinful, to murder Hitler.

Overall, the book makes the case that someone like Jesus would make a poor presidential candidate, since Jesus preferred to live humbly, to live among the disenfranchised and forgotten members of society, and to turn the other cheek to his enemies.
