I bought the second copy to loan to all my friends who kept asking to borrow it. The story flows well and leads you to some very deep thinking. Farber does an excellent job of tying in a fiction story (at least I assume it is fiction) with some excellent concepts in leadership. I would recommend this book to anyone who is ...             Tenured Radicals, 3rd Edition: How Politics Has Corrupted Our Higher Education21 reviews Roger Kimball Ivan R. Dee, Publisher, 2008 Breeding Ground Kimball exposes Marxist profs for their secure, big paying, cushy jobs within Capitalism. Tenured guerillas? Nay! These Marxists are more like rabid dogs that engage in fits of verbal madness while trying to bite the invisible hand of the Capitalism that feeds them! Marxist delirium induces the worse incoherency and nonsense and the Humanities is a breeding ground for this kind of culture. ...             Traitor to His Class: The Privileged Life and Radical Presidency of Franklin Delano Roosevelt3 reviews H.W. Brands Doubleday, 2008 Master Historian's FDR Biography Receives Strong Reviews Franklin Roosevelt led the Allies to victory in World War Two after tackling the economic crisis of the Great Depression.

Going through a divorce after having been dumped by a husband of 17 years, I was really critical of myself. As if having endured the ex's scorn wasn't enough, I had to add o--and add on--and add on to the attacks on every aspect of my personality. I was stupid. I was unattractive. I was not "woman enough." I didn't deserve love. This book was recommended by my therapist and it was just what I ...             Reveille for Radicals3 reviews Saul Alinsky Vintage, 1989 Timeless Words From A Master Organizer With the vision of an idealist but the experience of a seasoned organizer, Alinsky presents a clear picture of both the unequal America he saw in 1946 and the democracy he believed America could be. He does not stop there, however. He also provides a blueprint for moving from the society of inequalilty and injustice into a land where the poor, powerless and disadvantaged are empowered and our ...             Radical Womanhood: Feminine Faith in a Feminist World1 review Carolyn McCulley Moody Publishers, 2008 Well-researched, Winsome, and Gospel-proclaiming!

Carolyn met them all with ease. - Her research (and citations) demonstrate her commitment to journalistic integrity and her years of experience as a writer and editor. It was refreshing and informative to read actual historical information ...             Radical Brewing: Recipes, Tales and World-Altering Meditations in a Glass20 reviews Randy Mosher Brewers Publications, 2004 Interesting read and great history lessons. Tons of great history on beer/brewing. Crazy ingredient ideas & great discussion/explanations on how they affect your brews. I keep re-reading sections all the time. I like how Mosher gives a recipe, but doesn't lecture you on nailing a certain stlye and gives suggestions how to tweak it to your own desires. Screw styles, brew what tastes good to you. This book helps you do that. This ...             Perdon Radical39 reviews Colin C. Tipping Global 13 Publications, 2007 Change your Life! I have been using the tools that Colin Tipping has outlined in Radical Forgiveness for 10 months and the miracles that have occurred in my life are amazing.

It outlines steps and actions that must be taken in order to lie, organize, agitate, trick and deceive your way into power. It's a path that radical leftist Barack Obama has followed to the letter. This book needs to be read by all ...             Radical Honesty, The New Revised Edition: How to Transform Your Life by Telling the Truth44 reviews Brad Blanton SparrowHawk Publications, 2005 Fantastic Book This is a fantastic book on how to start living a life of more honesty and integrity.

As a student of the Universe Story and the New Cosmology, I have read many, many books and articles on the subject. This is by far, the most readable and entertaining, as well as thought provoking and imaginative that I have found. It is at the top of my Most Recommended List for anyone interested in this subject. Based on this volume, I look forward to future works by this author. Joyce ...             The Radical Edge: Stoke Your Business, Amp Your Life, and Change the World17 reviews Steve Farber Kaplan Business, 2006 Great Book, Great Ideas This book really goes into a bigger picture than his first book, The Radical Leap. It displays him helping one individual person that definetly needed it and the challenges faced when trying to help someone. He also expresses some new ideas that really go hand in hand with business and the direction of this series. I give it a must read, only after the first book though. It was also a quick read ...             Radical Evolution: The Promise and Peril of Enhancing Our Minds, Our Bodies -- and What It Means to Be Human31 reviews Joel Garreau Broadway, 2006 Dense exploration of the technological explosion to come This is about the so-called GRIN technologies: Genetic, Robotic, Information, and Nano. Properly speaking the title should be "Extreme Cultural Evolution," or perhaps "Accelerated Technological Evolution." "Radical" is used here in the sense of "extreme." Regardless of what we call it, for better or for worse, we will be enhancing our minds and bodies and changing the life forms around us, ...             Radical Hope: Ethics in the Face of Cultural Devastation6 reviews Jonathan Lear Harvard University Press, 2008 An alternative to the Ghost Dance In a time when any and everything can be pulled out from under one due to devastating political and cultural de-evolution, a growing and decadent mass media driven delusion and the bulk of wealth being in the hands of a small percentage of soulless idiots, this book offers an "a way." At time when one might be tempted, like many Native American tribes were, to lament the past and vainly attempt ...             Radical Chic & Mau-Mauing the Flak Catchers17 reviews Tom Wolfe Bantam, 1999 Fiction and Journalism The cringing white liberal and the self-serving bureaucrat, the sychophantic Jewish silver-spoon socialist and the cunning black race-baiting political opportunist -- these are the types of characters that Tom Wolfe elucidates with wicked satire in his stories, which are a titillating admixture of acid fiction and scathing journalism. The types in this book, moreover, seem to be a fixture of the ...             Radical Self-acceptance15 reviews Tara Brach Sounds True, 2005 Tara's Vision Tara's gentle, soothing voice makes this a great CD to own. The companion book, Radical Acceptance, teaches the wisdom of understanding the self and appreciating the present.             Radical Hospitality: Benedict's Way Of Love15 reviews Daniel O. S. B. Homan, Lonni Collins Pratt Paraclete Press (MA), 2005 The phrase is everywhere I picked up Radical Hospiality because of a sermon I heard in Boston awhile ago while visiting a friend from college. I did not catch the name of the author, authors as it turns out, but I was sure the minister, a woman, was quoting from a book. When I did a internet search it turned out that the phrase Radical Hospitality is used by religious and social groups from churches to conventions, all ...             Icon of Evil: Hitler's Mufti and the Rise of Radical Islam9 reviews David G. Dalin, John F. Rothmann Random House, 2008 A Must Read What an eye opener! This book is of great importance for everyone . This is a must read! The authors give the history of the Islamic mufti's connection with Hitler, their desire to irradicate the Jews, and shows the connection to the terrorist of today. The comment that..."this brings to light a story not so much forgotten as deliberately concealed" couldn't be more true! I Urge everyone to ...             The Radical Reformission: Reaching Out without Selling Out39 reviews Mark Driscoll Zondervan, 2004 Wow I really, really liked this book.

Mark shares his philosophy regarding the church, and what it means for a church to be missional.
