There are certain members of my family whom I always wanted to avoid. I was not wrong, they are difficult to get along with, but that never made me feel better about myself.

Suzette Haden Elgin has written a number of sf/f novels illustrating the principles explicated in GENDERSPEAK, but here you can learn them in a matter of a few hours reading.

I urge every woman to read this book - you'll be glad you did!             Principles Of Personal Defense32 reviews Jeff Cooper Paladin Press, 2006 Seminal work This is an outstanding work on a much-avoided subject. While we would very much like to pretend that our society is violence free (at least as far as it pertains to us individually), the sad reality is that this is not the case.

I read Dr. Elgin's "The Gentle Art of Verbal Self Defense" in 1988 in my college years. It was good and I took 2 or 3 days to do a complete read-thru. It was very good and shaped my verbal skills for management and sales, although it wasn't targeted for that. The *written* self defense book is every bit as good. Actually I think it is a necessary reading for anyone. If you've ever said ...             Junk Science Judo: Self-Defense against Health Scares and Scams31 reviews Steven J. Milloy Cato Institute, 2001 Sensei Steven Milloy, 9th Dan Junk Science Judo Whether you are a newbie in science, or do research, Milloy's work is exceptionally relevant, and at the same time intensely interesting. Sadly, there seem to be very few people doing exactly what is needed in this growing area of scientific vandalism, and I applaud Milloy's courage in writing this work and others on the same or similar topic. He shows great creativity in the style and format ...             See Sally Kick Ass: A Woman's Guide to Personal Safety11 reviews Fred Vogt Outskirts Press, 2006 A current, direct, useful guide to self-protection written with women in mind What a useful book! As a retired college admissions director, I would recommend this book without any reservation.

The author lists and exposes various categories of faulty reasoning and dishonest arguments such as circular logic, bait and switch, and false dilemma. There are some good reminders here for most of us ...             How to Disagree Without Being Disagreeable: Getting Your Point Across with the Gentle Art of Verbal ...7 reviews Suzette Haden Elgin Wiley, 1997 A very practical book on handling everyday situations How to Disagree Without Being Disagreeable is the 12th book in the Gentle Art of Verbal Self Defense series.
