Best New Parent Book,
"I ordered five books on a babies first year of life, and this is by far my favorite! In fact, my husband is even willing to read this one. Some of the others are more technical, but this one gets right to the point and makes it enjoyable, not taxing, to read.

“Waxman has that rare quality of making a complex subject accessible to everyone! A must read for Kabbalah students!”
—Edwin Harkness Spina, author Mystic Warrior

“Highly informative, easy to read and extremely entertaining! Well written, authoritative and thoroughly enjoyable!”
—Dr.

"One Cosmos under God is one of those rare books that consistently jolts us out of the decrepit beliefs that structure our understanding of ourselves and the world.... Deeply influenced by the great Indian sage and consciousness explorer Sri Aurobindo, Godwin has clearly engaged in his own spiritual atom-splitting to have produced such a remarkable integration of science, psychology, and spirit.

The United States has become a major world power. Once admired as a model of democracy and a hope for refugees everywhere, today it often appears as a self-absorbed bully to the rest of the world. Is the United States government a democracy or the nerve center of a world empire controlled by the wealthy? Is its foreign policy the will of the people or entirely aloof from that will?
Philosophy of the United States examines history of the United States in terms of the vision its founders had and the constitution they devised to provide a framework for its citizens to pursue life, liberty and happiness.

"Judge Molloy's personal journey and the lessons he has drawn from it make interesting reading and provoke a good deal of introspection and analysis...aiming not just to rankle his colleagues in the legal profession but to spur them to much needed thought about their actions.

"Highly recommended. All levels."
—Choice, March 2005

"I cannot praise Genocide in Rwanda highly enough. ...there is nothing else like it. This is a book that sheds light not only on genocide but also on the devastating, albeit largely unintended, political, social, and demographic consequences of the uninvited impact of western civilization on the cultures of Africa.

"Rediscovery of Awe can not only significantly improve the quality of individual lives; it can also bring great improvements to our culture and our world. These are strong words, but I have very seldom encountered a book with such power and which provides such inspiration.

“Move over Eric Berne’s Games People Play! Welcome to the first book in decades to put the day to day frustrations, arguments, power plays, and social manipulations to which we all are treated to by friends, lovers, bosses, and spouses, under a big magnifying lens.

"...well structured...cases well chosen.... Whether for one's personal edification or as a vehicle for supporting philosophical discussion in a law course, this book deserves consideration by all who have an interest in the medical ethics issues that manage to come before the Supreme Court.

Does Judaism have a future? In this new book Dan Cohn-Sherbok provides an overview of the central beliefs and practices of the past, and offers a new vision of Judaism for the future. What is now required is a radical reinterpretation of the faith for modern Jews struggling to make sense of their religious heritage.
