| | | | | | Around the World in Eighty Days: A review by Asa Butcher
In the history of the Academy Awards, who has been the most successful producer? No, it isn't Hal B. Wallis, with an impressive 19 nominations, nor Sam Spiegel, Saul Zaentz or Darryl F. Zanuck, each with three wins; it is Michael Todd... | | | | Eye Floaters: A Review by Edna Nelson
Floco Tausin's "Mouches Volantes - Eye Floaters as Shining Structure of Consciousness" is a bore. As a person who has some knowledge of New Age Spirituality and Meditation, I was interested in the book, but I could barely get through it. | | | | 70 years of Disney's Pinocchio by Asa Butcher
Everybody's favourite pine nut turns 70 today; yes, it is seven decades since Walt Disney premiered 'Pinocchio'! | |

Theodore Roszak's THE VOICE OF THE EARTH is a big book. Big not only in actual volume, chapter to chapter, page by page, but big in scope and containing a largess, as in abundant wealth; for THE VOICE is rich in perspective and reflective depth. | | | | Toward a Post-Secular Europe. A Revisiting by Dr. Emanuel Paparella
The book under review tackles head on a very important question: why does religion flourish in America, but languish in western and central Europe? Why are some issues about religion and public life in America nearly incomprehensible to Europeans (such as | | | | Insensitive Basterds by Johnny Milner
There is no doubt that the Holocaust is a very delicate matter for many people. So sensitive in fact that if publicly questioned, trivialized or poked fun at - serious consequences can occur. The so called Revisionist Scholars, who are known around the wo | | | prev | | next | | |
