Richard Cohen

IVP Books, 2007

Good Book!
I have a grandson who is gay, my daughter recommended this book to me so I ordered it. The book is excellent, full of helpful advice and information on how to deal with this subject. It is a touchy issue in our family but something that I needed more help in dealing with. I intend to refer to it time & time again.

Strong at the Broken Places: Voices of Illness, a Chorus of Hope

Harper, 2008

Strong But Hopeful
I believe this book is a must read for everyone. It touches you, it pulls you, it makes you want to scream and yell, it breaks you apart and puts you back together...but most importantly, it makes you appreciate all that is good about your life. I have Crohns disease and I have a mental illness, two of the topics touched upon in this book. But I am a better person today for having read Strong ...

Beware the pedants - they are often wrong
I am the author's wife and I'm posting his review below... Beware the pedants - they are often wrong It is some time since I looked at the reviews of my book, and I am very grateful for the appreciative ones. However, there seems to be a feeling that the book is littered with errors. Not so. In so long a text,over 500 pages, a few were bound to creep in, but so far I have had to correct ...

Coming Out Straight: Understanding and Healing Homosexuality

163 reviews
Richard Cohen

Oakhill Press, 2005

Message of truth and hope
On all books I read about masculinity, this one struck me most because it is built up upon personal experience+practice and gives insight of what is going on behind the curtain of appearance, fashion and prejudice. It reveals significant truth about same sex attraction and offers powerful tools to deal with that! Understanding these problems is essential for evolution! I highly recommand this ...

Ethics and Infinity: Conversations With Philippe Nemo

7 reviews
Emmanuel Levinas

Duquesne University Press, 1985

Levinas in a Nutshell
The influence of Levinas on Contemporary thought cannot be under-estimated. Many of the subtle and overt nuances in Derrida, Nancy, Deleuze and, on this side of the Atlantic, Lingis and Caputo, derive from Levinasian insights. Indeed, the French reverence for difference and alterity has its origin in the phenomenological findings of Levinas. With Levinas comes a dramatic shift from the ...

Fox News? not quite
As a serious political junkie I have faithfully bought this book every year since my friend gave me the 1st in 1972. I have won so many arguments, answered so many questions and just satisfied curiosities over the years that it defies counting. It is everything you will need to spend hours of time qetting well researched thoughtful information. Are you a union brother or sister well how did your ...

Humanism of the Other

1 review
Emmanuel Levinas

University of Illinois Press, 2005

A word of warning--you may already own this book
All five of the essays collected and (re)translated in this volume, _Humanism of the Other_, have previously appeared as chapters in Levinas' _Collected Philosophical Papers_, edited and translated by Alphonso Lingis (Duquesne Univ Press, 1998: ISBN#:0820703060). That is not to say that the essays here collected are no good. The new translation is self-avowedly more accurate to Levinas' French ...

Coming Out Straight

Richard Cohen

International Healing Foundation, 2007

sad commentary on our society
Homosexuality no more needs to be "healed" than left-handedness needs to be "healed." Both are totally natural, genetically-based variations among human beings. I'm sorry for Cohen that he felt he needed to go through all of this therapy and wrenching emotional upheaval to "heal" from being himself. I hope that someday our society is tolerant enough so that people don't feel that need to "heal" ...

Time and the Other

1 review
Emmanuel Levinas

Duquesne University Press, 1990

An early but central exposition of L.'s ethical metaphysics.
TIME AND THE OTHER was first presented as a series of lectures in 1946/47 at the College Philosophique, in the intellectually charged atmosphere of post-war Paris. Along with EXISTENCE AND EXISTENTS it represents the first book length formulation of Levinas's own philosophy of ethical metaphysics. It is not only a clear statement of his thought but is focused on the central issue of modern and ...

St. Martin's Griffin, 2005

don't buy this book by mistake
I bought this book by mistake, and I want to warn others to think before buying. It's not a bad book. That's not the problem. Let me explain. A friend of mine had this book that I found really engaging and I wanted my own copy. I mixed up the titles and got this book by mistake, not realizing that there were two books with almost identical titles. The book I most highly recommend is THE ...

Baseball stats from a different perspective
It took quite a while, but I actually read "Sports Encyclopedia: Baseball 2007" from cover to cover. I have gone through quite a few other baseball encyclopedias in the past and this one is certainly "different." Instead of just an alphabetical list of each player, the book goes season-by-season and lists the rosters and statistics of every player that played on the team each year. League leaders ...

Washington At Work: Back Rooms and Clean Air (2nd Edition)

Longman, 1994

Some Back Rooms and Little Clean Air
This is a very good book if your are looking info on what went on during the promulgation of the 1990 Clean Air Act. It is not, however, a book for conspiracy theorists. The industrial influence on the process is less than substantial, according to the book. This might be to Cohen's praise, as I know I went into the book looking for interest group politics. At any rate, its a good read if you are ...
