Negative Positive
Title: Feels like you are reading a college mid-term report
Review: I bought this book hoping it would help me think. The author makes one claim that Americans are not thinking enough and backs it up with some well researched tidbits. However, this could have been written much more concisely, probably as an article in New York Times, but not as a 350 paged $25 hard cover book.Also, the author tries to refute an argument about global warming. Sure, there are still other skeptics and there is no absolute proof that global warming is due to man-made causes, or even there is global warming, but you have to have a thick skull to not believe this with so much data coming out. Just watch NOVA or 60 minutes reports.I want to read facts and good theories that I can use (like Guns, Germs and Steel), not an argument that debate team students need to earn credit.If this was published as a short article, I would say 'interesting article' but it is one star for a book.
Is the review positive or negative?
