Makes some good points
There's plenty of information about the failures, counterproductivity, and untrustworthiness of the Bush administration. And Matthew Rothschild says we do not have to invent conspiracy theories in a misguided attempt to beef up the case against this administration. He's right. Such theories just sabotage one's credibility. And this article is pretty good at explaining how far from reality ...
Delta Air Lines: Debunking the Myth

A must read for all current or potential Delta Employees
After dealing with Delta airlines for a number of years I left the company and had certain views about its management style and how they deal with promoting certain individuals. I read Debunking the myth and I then had some closure to what I had been saying all along was the truth. The point that Mr. Davis made that was absolutley accurate, when he made reference to a "CULT LIKE" mentality. This ...
The New Japan: Debunking Seven Cultural Stereotypes
2 reviews
David Matsumoto
Intercultural Press
, 2002
Very, very useful in explaining how Japan is changing
Every social, business, and travel guide you read regarding Japan, and most of the fiction written in this country with a Japanese setting, perpetuates certain stereotypes about the Japanese people and their culture: They're collectivist in their basic psychology, not individualistic, preferring consensus to majority rule and trying not to stand out in the crowd; they think of themselves as ...

David Ray Griffin has an exceptional gift for grasping significant distinctions
The mind of David Ray Griffin is refreshingly clear and logical. His meticulous research and critical analysis of documentary evidence is astute and compelling. In "9/11 Contradictions: An Open Letter to Congress and the Press," Dr. Griffin presents a logical sequence of irrefutable facts drawn from actual documents and testimony that demonstrate twenty five internal contradictions in the ...
The 9/11 Commission Report: Omissions And Distortions

David Ray Griffin
Olive Branch Press
, 2004
must read
David Ray Griffin objectively reveals the joke that was the 911 Commission. Anyone with an open mind should study this courageous work to be "up to speed" on the unanswered questions surrounding this tragedy. The mainstream media has swallowed a lot of "stupid" pills peddling an "official conspiracy theory" with gaping holes of credibility.

Wow, amazing!
Dr. Gratke has produced an epic tome of physics, shattering prior misconceptions about physicality. In this book, Gratke reveals that Einstein was close to accurately representing the universe, but failed to take into account some factors. Heisenberg was a sophist, Gratke is a visionary!
Tired of Do-list Christianity?: Debunking the Misconceptions That Hold Back Real Spiritual Growth And Steal ...
2 reviews
NavPress Publishing Group, 2006
Free Yourself - and others - from needless Guilt
This is one of the best books I've read because it gave such freedom to experience the spiritual life without the burden of "man's" should-do, must-do, how-to ideas not-so-subtly attached. Originally intending to read one a day, I found it hard not to skip ahead as Scott's writing is genuine, entertaining and disarming because he is humble enough to laugh at himself as he shares his own ...
What's Right With You: Debunking Dysfunction and Changing Your Life
5 reviews
HCI, 2005
A Gift From a Master!
In truth, I should probably not be reviewing "What's Right with You" because I am a counselor and a teacher,as well as a longtime admirer of Dr. Duncan and his philosophy that the client is the true hero in the therapeutic relationship.The beautiful aspect about "What's Right with You" is that if everyone who is looking to make a change in their lives read this book, not only would I be out of a ...

If Everybody Believes Something, It's Probably Wrong
If everybody believes something, it's probably wrong! We call that Conventional Wisdom. "Trust Us We're Experts" is one of the few books that I recommend to all of my patients that enter my office. The information in this book has the power to potentially save your life, since it provides the reader with the tools to spot propaganda that's regularly disseminated to the masses. Americans are ...

Harry Elmer Barnes
Arno Press
, 1972
As with all Dr Barnes books, a timeless classic!
Dr Harry E. Barnes was the very first of the classical Revisionists. His debunk- ing the b.s. story that germany started WWI is the start of an awakening of the sleeping masses to the ralization that we have been badly bamboozled on many subjects. Highly recommended to college students and high schoolers to get them thinking in the right direction. Pick up on all of Dr. Barnes classics!

Commonsense Rebellion
If you don't think that your life is being managed by others, for their benefit, you need to read this book! Commonsense Rebellion is an excellent and important critique of our institutional culture and explains in clear detail how our involvement with those institutions actually deprives us of our autonomy, individual power and joy. I see myself as informed and very cynical about the ...

Can't Argue with the Facts...
Like it or not, Napoleon has been the victim of a 200 year old smear campaign that still exists today. For the simple reason that if Napoleon was right, then they must've been wrong, Britain (and to a lesser extent the rest of the Allied countries) have made it a top priority throughout the years to make sure people think it was all Napoleons fault for the violence of the early 1800's. And they ...

University of California Press
, 2004
Excellent treatment of undemocratic control of press.
This book will open your eyes to the real threat that press censorship poses to our democratic nation. You will be amazed at how the the Bush administration was able to control the press and public attitudes towards the first gulf war. It is highly relavent today in light current policies in Iraq. The premise is that the media needs to be proactive and report news, not just what the government ...
The Welfare State Nobody Knows: Debunking Myths about U.S. Social Policy
2 reviews
Christopher Howard
Princeton University Press
, 2008
Good Introduction
Professor Howard's book is definitly a good introduction to the welfare state in America. As mentioned previously it includes a wide range of programs and provokes many unique questions. I would highly recommend this book to anyone potentially interested in social policy. (Also if you happen to be a W&M student I highly recommend you take one of Prof. Howard's classes!)
Freedomnomics: Why the Free Market Works and Other Half-Baked Theories Don't
93 reviews
John R. Lott Jr.
Regnery Publishing, Inc.
, 2007
Informative
One thing I like about Prof. Lott is that he does not try and be funny. I've read other books by economists and they try to be cute or witty or funny, but jokes usually fall flat. Prof. Lott sticks to the facts and draws conclusions, and I appreciate that.
Debunking 9/11 Debunking: An Answer to Popular Mechanics and Other Defenders of the Official Conspiracy Theory

David Ray Griffin
Arris Books
, 2007
A Litmus Test of Intelligence for the American People
No doubt it is a hard read. It is voluminous, meticulous, and if you cannot remember what was discussed three paragraphs ago, you probably get lost. However, this book is an absolute must for Americans if they wish to recapture their runaway democracy from a possible clandestine coup d'etat that has so far succeeded. And I sincerely hope that the claims apparently proven beyond doubt by ...

An outstanding book of skepticism, science and freethought
Jeffrey Mark's engaging new book, Christian No More, is sure to make a lasting impact on every believer who reads it. This powerful work is an intellectual broadside to the world's most popular religion. One wonders how any honest and thinking Christian can confront the material contained in this remarkable book and not come away with a very different view of their religion. Hard hitting but ...
Debunking the Middle-Class Myth: Why Diverse Schools Are Good for All Kids
8 reviews
Eileen Gale Kugler
ScarecrowEducation
, 2002
Optimistic, Practical & Informative
Eileen Kugler has written the most optimistic book I've ever read regarding multiculturalism in the schools. Cultural diversity in education doesn't merely refer to segregation, but to addressing the challenges of bridging academic and social gaps that prevent the school from becoming an interconnected community. Mrs. Kugler's book proves that, with hard work, dedicated parents, and an ...

James Randi
Prometheus Books
, 1982
An early skeptic classic
After being a magician for over thirty years, James "The Amazing" Randi devoted his considerable talents in helping people see the hand behind the curtain in such popular delusions as ESP, spoon bending, levitation, TM, UFOology and the like. This book represents a considerable effort on his part to briefly address many popular myths. And without exception, his treatments are excellent ...

Pelican Publishing Company

Refreshingly Logical
Chicken Little Agenda: Debunking "Experts'" Lies What a wonderful book! Using scientific facts, Williscroft explains away the would-be dire issues trumpeted by today's alarmists. To my delight, he applies that same good sense to a wide variety of other subjects, including morality and ethics, that are extremely relevant to the manner in which we live. This is a "must read" for anyone who ...
