PositiveForeword ReviewsChronicling Muir’s life in detail, the book does an able job of exposing the hypocrisy behind Muir’s philosophies ... But its generous coverage of the many paths that Muir took in his life also somewhat mutes his Yosemite National Park and Sierra Club triumphs, which become but two turning points in a lifetime that included many.
Christopher Miller
RaveForeword ReviewsImmersive ... Miller’s matter-of-fact narration is vivifying. The resolve, anger, and fear of the Euromaidan fighters are evoked well, and the confusion among journalists crashing up against the stoicism of the war-hardened people of Donetsk following Russia’s invasion is palpable. Written with love, respect, and the critical eye of a reporter, the book evinces deep dedication to an adopted homeland.
Edward H. Miller
PositiveForeword Reviews... Welch’s white supremacy is addressed in direct terms, though the book’s discussions of his antisemitism are less clear ... A Conspiratorial Life is the first comprehensive biography of Robert Welch. It is revelatory about his role in the development of modern American conservatism.
Dr. Jen Gunter
RaveForeword ReviewsThrough a combination of personal anecdotes, hard science, and medical advice, [Gunter] breaks menopause down into its component parts, robbing it of its shame and secrecy ... Gunter notes that patriarchal social structures mean that a woman’s worth is weighed based on her youth and fertility, and that gender and racial bias in the medical profession also increase the risk of women with symptoms of menopause being dismissed ... The book is organized in a way that makes it possible to pick and choose what to read based on need and curiosity. Each chapter ends with a useful summary, and diagrams help to illustrate the book’s statistics. Additional material toward the book’s end delves further into medications and science.The Menopause Manifesto is practical as it reclaims menopause from myths, educating and empowering its audience in equal measure.
