Great Quotations compiled by a Great Quoter
20. Mai 2008
Format:Taschenbuch
If indeed this wonderful work is "conservative," it is because Carl Middleton is extremely so but, way more than that, has selected much of the best from the human brain that ought to be conserved. Unlike other compilations of Man's profundity, Middleton's book has "Middleton" all through it, which endows the work with wonderful grit and makes it therefore not simply 784+ pages of detached and bloodless pith. I am a militant liberal in my opinions and in my behavior on almost every issue except that of the intellectual and historic voice of our species, and so I say to any listerner that Great Quotations that Shaped the Western World reflects the shape of intelligent thinking not just in the West but everywhere else, around the globe. Thus, though the book may appear at times to lean far to the right, the truth is that, like the "ship" it is, its course is straight ahead, and its voyage is universal

How each and every one of these quotes impacted society and changed it
8. Mai 2008
Format:Taschenbuch
The words and the great people who say it - "Great Quotations That Shaped The Western World" is a near 800 page tome filled with the wisdom of the ages. From the words of Moses, Aristotle, King Henry VII, to many quotes in the modern era, this is a secular but no holds barred look at the entirety of western history and how each and every one of these quotes impacted society and changed it. "Great Quotations That Shaped the Western World" is a highly recommended reference for community library history collections.

Wonderful source and inspiration
22. Mai 2009
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
Chock full of pithy, relevant nuggets. At any time I can turn to any page and find several short, useful passages or just sentences that are self-contained and easily grasped, and satisfying to me. Most of the selections are arranged chronographically (if you don't know what that means, this probably is not the book for you.) Another long section is arranged thematically. All the classics of Western Civ seem to be represented, and well picked. I will admit to being a scholar of sorts, but I do find this to be a treasure. Enthusiastically recommended! And it is grounded in morals and ethics, and the best in our culture.
