Review # 1 was written on 2011-06-24 00:00:00 Jacob Weintraub Forty years later, this look at the roots of right-wing extremism still seems depressingly timely. The authors argue that where left-wing extremism is fueled by a lack of property and status, the right is "preservatist," driven by people afraid of losing what they have. This in turn breeds anti-immigrant hostility (a running feature for 200-plus years) and political paranoia about vast conspiracies (the Illuminati crop up as a bogeyman over and over again). The focus on George Wallace's 1968 campaign now looks a little dated, but overall this is very effective, if dry at times.

Review # 2 was written on 2015-10-14 00:00:00 Matthew Gonzales Great, a chemistry textbook. Who cares how I review this, it's a CHEMISTRY TEXTBOOK. It probably taught me more than my Chem teacher, so it succeeded in that regard. I only read small sections on air and water pollution, definitely more than others in the class.
