I bought two and I highly recommend you do as well! One for your self (obviously), and one to pass around to everyone you know. This is a great analysis and tear down of the establishment media that is so trusted today. Jamie and Allison bring hilarious stories and view points to some of the most  important problems facing today's society. Definitely a MUST READ!!!!!!!

"Three Cups of Deceit" by Jon Krakauer is a very important document, and should be available to the public, not just to people who own Kindles. Nothing against Kindles--they are great! But by restricting Mr. Krakauer's essay to Kindle owners, a vast audience is not able to read "Three Cups of Deceit." I know the essay was free on Byliner for three days, but most people were in shock and did not know the essay would disappear, only to resurface at Amazon as a Kindle book.

We are getting many, many requests at our library for "Three Cups of Deceit." We tell our patrons they need a Kindle to read the essay. Once again, we love Kindles! But I propose that Jon Krakauer publish "Three Cups of Deceit" in print form and make it available to the public to buy on Amazon. That way our libraries can buy copies for our patrons. Or perhaps a magazine like the Atlantic Monthly could devote their entire issue to "Three Cups of Deceit." I only say this because Jon Krakauer's essay is very important.

As a librarian, I am dedicated to connecting people to information. Mr. Krakauer, I hope you are reading this, and know that thousands and thousands of people are not able to access "Three Cups of Deceit," which is a very, very important essay, and therefore, please consider putting your essay in print. Thank you. (And three cheers for the Kindle!)

The reports of violence against Christians is in the news almost daily, but it should be something which dominates our headlines. Less than five pages into The Global War On Christians by John Allen, Jr. I was smacked between the eyes with this statistic: One hundred million Christians worldwide presently face interrogation, arrest, torture, or even death because of their religious convictions. Talk about a wake-up call!

Allen does sound the wake-up call quite clearly. The first section of the book reads a little like Foxs Book Of Martyrs from the 16th century, except these dispatches are happening right now! Allen takes us around the globe in this section with general statistics for each region, and stories of individuals that put a face on the already-sickening statistics. After reading this section, you may wonder, as I did, why these reports aren't the lead news story every single day.

In the second section Allen debunks the five most common myths used to keep people comfortably numb to the atrocities happening to our Christians brothers and sisters around the globe. This is an excellent refutation to those who may say, Its not our problem or How could I do anything about this anyhow.

In the final section of the book, Allen brings all of the stories and statistics right onto your front doorstep. He vividly and, I believe, accurately describes what will happen if we continue to allow this persecution to take place unchallenged and unreported. Truly this book is a wake-up call, and should be read by every liberty-loving, religion-cherishing, thoughtful person in America.

This is such an important and valuable book. I liked it so much that I went to my local bookstore and bought a copy for my personal library so I could revisit it when I was feeling down and in need of inspiration! This book contains more than 300 signs from the Women's Marches that took place around the world on January 21st, 2017 to champion equality and justice for ALL. This is a powerful book. One that really paints a picture of this time in our history and what so many of us are feeling at this time in our political and cultural history. The best part for me? All royalties from the sale of this book will be donated to Planned Parenthood. I'm IN. Which is why I purchased a copy for myself and will probably also purchase one for our oldest daughter and others who I think could benefit from the message of hope and resistance. I highly recommend this one.

This is a novel everywhere should be required reading, by parents, government officials at all levels.  This should be sent to every Congress person and Senator as a public service announcement. I hope David Horowitz can get some billionaire or millionaire  to  fund this as a Necessary Public Service donation !!!
Most Sincerely,
John H. Kuhl, CPCM

If I could make everyone on the planet read one book, this would be it. Ms. Davis gives us a new slant on archeology, stripping away layer upon layer of gender bias to find our decidedly feminist roots.

Note that the reviews listed below which are critical are written by men. This is the truth they can't handle, and the herstory they've tried so hard to bury. Even if you don't agree with the book's content, looking at history from a new perspective can only enhance ones world view. I disagree that the information has been "disproven". Rather, the vehemence with which it is attacked tells me that Davis was on to something.

Absolutely essential for any woman's library.

I hope this book becomes required reading in every college journalism course in the future. Greenwald's self-sacrificing pursuit of the truth, and the fearless choice to publicize it, is the essence of journalism. As depressing as it is to observe the utter contempt for civil rights by the US government, and its thuggish pursuit of any who dare oppose it, this important book is a must-read. As a journalist, the most eye-opening chapter is "The Fourth Estate" that describes how the lapdog US corporate media shamelessly attacked Greenwald and tried to get him sent to prison for disclosing illegal activities of the US government. I sincerely hope the individual journalists he names, who tried to slander and denigrate him as they function as proxy agents of the US government, feel a deep sense of shame if and when they read this book. Any American citizen should be entirely outraged of the pervasive, fascist-style surveillance state our government has created with the help of the massive corporations we support. This book inspired, angered, shocked, and motivated me.

I'm literally on page xii of the Author's Note and have already cried and laughed out loud... this is going to be an awful and amazing experience, and I may be completely emotionally unprepared.  This story, her story, and the truth need to be told So we can heal and move onward! She means more to us than the deplorables can imagine. Most of these reviews were written by haters who didn't even read the book. Sad need to constantly lash out at her and their inability to stop and learn the truth.  #FOREVERwithHer #thingsillNEVERgetover

Are you easily swayed (or turned off) by chart-wielding political pundits? Do you tense up after reading yet another article about the latest medical research study? Whether you're a confident or a statistics-illiterate consumer of information, Everydata: The Misinformation Hidden in the Little Data You Consume Every Day is a clear, enjoyable guide to decoding our data-driven world. Youll understand the difference between mean and median, causation and correlation, as well as review concepts related to sampling, forecasting, and bias. Co-authored by an economist and a copywriter, this book breaks it all down, using highly relatable examples and generous dashes of humor to make the nuanced truth behind definitive data easier to uncover. In an era dominated by splashy infographics and clickbait-style headlines, Everydatas balanced presentation is absolutely indispensable.

The Post covers the 45 debacle better than any other news source. Keep up the strong work!

So far I have read only 1/4 of the book that is mostly about domestic violence& diehard traditions and the suffering of women. Reading some comments on the Twitter about the author and her book I realized that this book is a must read. there is quote from a BBC director on definition of news: News is a story that someone by some reason is against its publication- the rest are all ads..
This book is a real NEWS. There are so many peoples who don't want and like its publication.

(Am buying in a local bookstore not off Amazon.)
You need to read this if you're tired of all the fighting you see on Facebook and people posting one-sided perspectives and getting into tiffs with their family and friends. It's brilliant! I plan on giving one to my parents this year during the holidays and crossing my fingers that nobody brings up the election. Recommended if you like sassy side comments and dogs (I am a fan of both) but does include cats if you swing that way.

I love this book. It contains 37 of the most amazing true stories from the RISK! podcast, which is also one of my favorite podcasts, plus Q and A's with every storyteller, and an introduction and afterword from the podcast's host, Kevin Allison. This book is perfect for people who love to hear daring true stories that illuminate all aspects of the human condition, with nothing held back. It will make you more empathetic and understanding and feel less alone. It will also blow you away with how crazy some people's lives are, and give you plenty of great laughs and tears.

Now, full disclosure, I helped make this book because I'm also the producer of the RISK! podcast and I have a true story of my own in the book, but that's how I know it's awesome! I read it multiple times as we were compiling and editing it, and every time, it still moved me, made me laugh and cry, and made me shake my head and drop my jaw. And I can tell you that we did everything we could to make sure there were as few spelling and grammatical errors in the final version as possible, because I'm a real stickler for that stuff. ;)

I love that this book contains true stories from such a wide array of people. Sure, there are stories from celebrities like Dan Savage, Michael Ian Black, Aisha Tyler, and more, but there are also stories from trans men and women, people of all races and ethnicities and ages and sexualities, parents, travelers, artists, detectives, cops, etc etc etc. In all the stories, there's a strong sense of resilience, humanity and vulnerability. The storytellers let you into the most intimate parts of their lives and show over and over again that whatever we go through, we can get through it and come out of it stronger.

There are so many reasons to read this book and share it with others. I hope you love it as much as I do!

Awesome!!  I think this book should be on the top of everyone's reading list.  Hard to believe he wrote this before the current national crises.  I listen to him on TV and continue to believe he would make an excellent candidate for President or VP!!!

Have just skimmed the book but already have learned many fascinating and depressing details about the president's family and cohorts, and the author's insights into the circus that is the current presidency. So much great info that only someone who was there so much would know. THANK YOU Michael Wolff for the great reporting and giving us this gift - it was a bit of therapy for the stress and depression many of us have had for the last year and somehow eases the pain a little to understand how and why this all happened. Thank you Michael also for being brave enough to weather the criticisms of so many Republicans and Trump Supporters (why again are they so willing to let him damage the environment, our democracy, our relationships with almost every other country, race relations, women, minorities, immigrants, and the lower and middle class in just one year? Just pure greed? Disgusting)  And thank you to the Publisher for getting the book out in true record time!  Final thought for author: Would love for you to release a few minutes of your tapes someday!!
