Historia
In politics, when reason and emotion collide, emotion invariably wins. In this landmark book, scientist and psychologist Drew Westen shows how electorates vote not with their heads but with their hearts, and how the marketplace that matters most is the marketplace of emotion - filled with values, images, analogies, moral sentiments, and moving oratory.

This book is essentially the authors mental masturbation into how in debates against past Republicans how he would of attacked them.
I'm a Libertarian so I enjoy facts and reason as well as poking both sides of the aisle. The book repeatedly essentially says Democrats use facts and reason and Republicans are all feelings.
The real issue I have with this book is it attempts to give history lessons that are patently false.
"The Great Depression was caused by unfettered capatilism so we needed the hero FDR. " With no mention or understanding of the federal reserve or federal income tax that preceded it, nor apparently an understanding for what unregulated capatilism actually is. Here's a hint, we've never had it.
Also Reagan was a Racist because he used the code words "States Rights". I kid you not, it says that in the book. No other source or reason for why Reagan was a racist, he just was because code words....
He presents Democrats as the innocent perfect pure as the wind driven snow heroes bested at every turn by their own niceness and the evil Republicans who out play them.
The book spends very little time in describing the actual processes involved in decision making or how humans come to decisions.
In my personal opinion this book is an excellent case study of itself, in regards to being emotionally invested in a political ideology and how facts and reason clearly play very little role in the authors political affiliation.

Historia
Men in Black: The Secret Terror Among Us was the last major work by West Virginia author Gray Barker, a legendary figure in the history of ufology. In many respects, this is the sequel to his earlier best sellers They Knew Too Much About Flying Saucers (a chronicle of the harassment faced by early UFO researchers) and The Silver Bridge (Barker's on-the-scene investigation of the Mothman events of the 1960s). Since Barker died a year after the release of MIB: Secret Terror, it was not widely distributed.

Waste of time and money. You really have to watch out what authors you buy from, at least within this ufo community. I'm looking for facts, not a circle jerk of a story.

Historia
This is the startling, bewildering, intriguing, and wildly popular account of Stan Romanek's scientifically supported and well-documented experiences of alien encounters and abductions. It is augmented by lab reports, testimonial from prominent professors, and vivid recollections of photo and video stills shots and refers to proven mathematical equations of which Stan should have no known knowledge.

This book os why U.F.O. research isn't taken seriously.
What I bought apparently was a book where a man repeatedly has aliens telling everyone around him in dubious ways how amazing and special he is.
When apparently at the age of 30, he's only just learning things about physics that anyone who's watched a sci fi movie would pick up in the diologue. (Really folding space didn't occur to you until 2002 at 30+?)
He goes out of his way to act stupid, so that middle school physics revelations he has, suddenly seem beyond the intelligence of the average person.
