Talking Sense About Politics: How to Overcome Political Polarization in Your Next Conversation

Talking Sense About Politics: How to Overcome Political Polarization in Your Next Conversation

by Whitney Smyth | Nov 2, 2017 | Archived Reviews (pre-April 2020), Current Events & Politics, NW Author, Self-Help, Sponsored

Nowadays, the very idea of politics is enough to start a social media flame war or send close friends at one another’s throats. Why have Americans largely lost the ability to have civil debates and discussions with regards to political concerns? Jack Meacham’s Talking...
The Leavers by Lisa Ko

The Leavers by Lisa Ko

by Ashley McCall | Aug 4, 2017 | Archived Reviews (pre-April 2020), Current Events & Politics, General Fiction

When Lisa Ko’s debut novel The Leavers opens, we’re introduced to Deming Guo, a young Chinese immigrant (technically born in the U.S. but raised for a handful of years by his grandfather in rural China) living in New York City with his mother, Polly. They live with...
The Givers: Wealth, Power and Philanthropy in a New Golden Age by David Callahan

The Givers: Wealth, Power and Philanthropy in a New Golden Age by David Callahan

by Dick Weissman | Jul 17, 2017 | Archived Reviews (pre-April 2020), Current Events & Politics, Social Science

Periodically we hear about wealthy multi-millionaires and billionaires establishing foundations in order to give away substantial chunks of their wealth during their lifetime, or after they pass on. Callahan points out that there is nothing new about this, and he...
Drawdown: The Most Comprehensive Plan Ever Proposed to Reverse Global Warming edited by Paul Hawken

Drawdown: The Most Comprehensive Plan Ever Proposed to Reverse Global Warming edited by Paul Hawken

by Norman West | Jul 12, 2017 | Archived Reviews (pre-April 2020), Current Events & Politics, Science & Technology

Drawdown is a wonderful, impressive book, both in form and content. It’s sized appropriately for a coffee table, features heavy, satin finished paper and is lavishly furnished with photographs. While that’s very nice, the content is where it shines brightest. The main...
The Trump Survival Guide by Gene Stone

The Trump Survival Guide by Gene Stone

by Philip Rafferty | Mar 22, 2017 | Archived Reviews (pre-April 2020), Current Events & Politics

The election of Donald J. Trump as the 45th president of the United States was a surprise to the nation. From the outset, reality star and bankruptcy mogul, Trump seemed like a long shot until he wasn’t. In the days, weeks, and months following his inauguration, many...
Haters: Harassment, Abuse, and Violence Online by Bailey Poland

Haters: Harassment, Abuse, and Violence Online by Bailey Poland

by Norman West | Mar 9, 2017 | Archived Reviews (pre-April 2020), Current Events & Politics, Science & Technology, Social Science

We’ll start with a disclaimer and a reproof. Reproof first: the title is missing a couple of words and is, therefore, misleading. It should read “White Male Haters” since most of the hating begins with that group. The disclaimer is obvious. I am a member of the group...
