Reviewing Books that Build Culture
Churchill in His Element
“The River War was not just an adventure for Churchill; it was a foundation for his burgeoning thoughts on the strategy of war.”
Retaining Humanity in the Age of A.I.
“…a more important consideration is how schools can teach students to focus on the value of connecting with other human beings instead of disproportionately focusing on electronics.”
Roosevelt’s Revolution
“The New Deal which emerges from Beito’s narrative is nothing less than a revolution against the American constitutional order.”
Recovering the Idea of Statesmanship
“The originality of Burtka’s approach lies in his effort to restore an even more old-fashioned approach, that of the ‘mirror of princes,’ as the key to taking statesmanship seriously once again.”
Sowell’s Summary Argument
“Chipping away at elite consensus over the progressive agenda… requires a cultural turn…”
Vanquishing the Social Justice Warriors
“…the book is best for those who are relatively new to Sowell’s work, for it provides a taste of many themes that have guided his political and economic thought from the 1970s to today.”
A Gentleman Out of Moscow
“Maddocks is an able guide as she wanders through the adventures, disappointments, and adjustments that Rachmaninoff would experience from his escape in 1917 to his death in 1943.”
Taking the Road Less Traveled
“Rattelle’s lyrical poems… echo Frost both in obvious ways and in their inventiveness within the constraints of form.”
To Recover Is to Return
“The decline [Esolen] has diagnosed is not merely a shift in cultural tastes or even a change in values; it is a near total loss of what it means to be human.
