Summary of Battle for the American Mind: Uprooting a Century of Miseducation by Book Summary Publishing
This is an interesting volume; very short (30+ pages) with very summary information for each chapter of the underlying book. It is difficult to determine how well original book has been summarized in this volume (without having read the original), however, I believe the authors have conveyed the key concepts contained in the original, however, some of the underlying logic and flow of these concepts may not be well presented due to the purposeful brevity of the chapters. (if they have been show more accurately presented - it would appear that the original book is a convoluted mess of ideas carelessly spread out across the chapters with little thought or reason to accompany the concepts - just a lot of conjectures and "yelling" of headlines and potential media snippets of artificial concepts devoid of logic.
This summary volume is still intriguing, and I would like to see a volume presented that I have read in the original. show less

This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers.Summary of The Song of the Cell: An Exploration of Medicine and the New Human by Book Summary Publishing
Summary of The Song of the Cell by Siddhartha Mukherjee gives a deep overview of the discovery of cells and information surrounding those discoveries. It was not exactly what I expected so I did not find it as interesting of a read as someone who is interested in the science behind the cell. There were some very interesting facts that were discussed for nonscientific people. This would be an awesome read for a High School class studying biology, or a teacher that wanted to have lots of show more interesting facts that don't commonly get taught in class.
Overall it was a good read, with very understandable language. For as deep as the subject is, I as a person not really interested in the subject, could read and understand what was being said. I was able to learn some interesting facts as well. show less

This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers.Summary of Battle for the American Mind: Uprooting a Century of Miseducation by Book Summary Publishing
This book was received by me for the promise of an honest review of the book. I should also add that I am reviewing the summary of the original book as opposed to the book that the summary was based upon.
The author proports this book to be a dissection of the American education system, its flaws, and ideas for improvement. The case is not made within the writing of the summary. Throughout the summary, there are instances of opinion delivered without context and statements of fact that are show more missing any data or evidence to support those statements of fact. This is disturbing as the author makes a great effort to appeal that logic has been removed from American education and yet uses no logic to support the accusations.
When logic is attempted, it is often circular in nature (from chapter 6, "Postmodernism and critical race theories are the basis for more modern prescriptive theories such as LGBT glorification, the sexual revolution, and critical race theory.") or based on the author's definitions of Greek terms such as Arete, Logos, and Telos that differ from their dictionary definitions. There are also several examples of poor editing of the text (from chapter 8, "But virtue is not a synonym for virtue.").
In short, this summary of the original book is poorly written, lacks evidence, and does not reach the goals set forth by the author. It is possible that each of these issues are addressed within the original book, but that book has not been made available to me.
NOTE: this review makes no statement on the author's beliefs, only in the manner of the writing of the summary of the original book. show less

This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers.Summary of "The Good Life - Lessons from The World's Longest Scientific Study of Happiness" by Book Summary Publishing
This summary book takes on the study done at Harvard University on what makes people happy in their lives. It was an exhaustive study that delved into what it is that really brings happiness in to people's lives. And in summary that something is your relationships.
Not all that surprising when you really think about it from a emotional standpoint of even one of pure logic. And this book does a thorough job of examining every aspect of this topic and drilling down into the whys and wherefore show more behind what people feel. It also goes into subtopics of how to enhance such things in our lives. A good read, informative and detailed bringing this important part of our lives into focus. show less
