How to Sell Your Way Through Life: Highly Proven to Help Make Millionaires!

Napoleon Hill
Lexington House Books, 2005
A Napolean Hill book I never knew existed.
This book was strongly recommended by Jeffrey Gitomer, author of The Sales Bible. Jeffrey said that the only complaint he had was that he didn't write it and that it was in his opinion the best sales book ever written, even better than his own books. This book has some of the same content as Succeed and Grow Rich Through Persuasion but also has much more information as well. When I first saw ...

Andrew Kliman
Lexington Books, 2006
A Conundrum Resolved
Andrew Kliman has done all those that have an interest in the question of value as presented by Marx a big favor. He has finally given us as close to a definitive proof as we are ever likely to get that all of those that have qualified their discussion of Marx's value and transformation problems as "internally inconsistent" are simply wrong. Professor Kliman makes it very clear that proving the ...

A GREAT ENGLISH BOOK
This is a great book for when I do projects and research papers. It has grammar and bibliographic information which helps me to do correct term papers. I am 12 years old which makes it easier for me to find things. The best thing about this book is that you don't have to hassle to find a piece of writing information when it is all in one book.
Madness Unchained: A Reading of Virgil's Aeneid
Lee Fratantuono
Lexington Books, 2007
The book aims at providing a coherent guide to the entirety of Virgil's Aeneid, with analysis of every scene and, in some cases, every line of crucial passages. The book tries to provide a guide to the vast bibliography and scholarly apparatus that has grown around Virgil studies (especially over the past century), and to offer some critical study of what Virgil's purpose and intent may have been in crafting his response to Augustus' political ...
Nietzsche's Epic of the Soul: Thus Spoke Zarathustra
4 reviews
T.K. Seung
Lexington Books, 2005
A Bold New Reading of Nietzsche's Zarathustra
This interpretation of Nietzsche's *Thus Spoke Zarathustra* is bold and exciting. One of the main strengths of this book is the author's attempt to bring together two themes that are often noted in connection with *Zarathustra*, but rarely integrated: the modern vision of a deterministic universe and the spiritual journey of the individual soul. I know of no other interpretation that takes ...

The Trouble with Textbooks: Distorting History and Religion
Gary Tobin
Lexington Books, 2008
Our elementary, middle, and high school teaching about Jews, Judaism, and Israel is driven by textbook misstatements about Jewish theology, social structure and the history of Israel and comprise an unsavory picture of Jews and Israel. This book will be an extremely valuable reference tool for educations and members of the public interested in religion and the Middle East.
Decade of Denial: A Snapshot of America in the 1990s
1 review
Herbert London
Lexington Books, 2001
decade of decline
London provides an interesting survey of the 1990s. The decade he paints is one mired in postmodernism and relativism, one that denies that man is imperfect and not perfectible. 90s culture was basically a wasteland, driven mostly by marketability and greed, in which previous conceptions of the family, or of art, or of excellence, were eroded and replaced. "Nothingness" (a la Seinfeld) was ...
Crime Classification Manual

Ann W.; Ressler, Robert K.; Douglas, John E.; Burgess, Allen G. Burgess
Lexington Books, 1995
Leading the field of crime classification
Whilst written primarily for the American law enforcement community this book is an excellent read and will provide a highly useful guide to police officers, criminal lawyers and criminologists the world over. John Douglas proves again that he is one of the leaders in the field of behavioral science providing a character type for each of the main crime classes. I recommend that anyone embarking ...

Capitalism and Commerce: Conceptual Foundations of Free Enterprise

Edward W. Younkins
Lexington Books, 2002
Must have for all Lovers of Freedom.
The problem nowadays with discourse on political and economic issues is that there is much confusion over the definition of terms. Two groups demand rights but they're in conflict because one group wants welfare rights while the other wants liberty rights. Whose claim for rights is legitimate? Well, that all depends on what is the definition of a right. Younkins' wonderful contribution with ...
