On Democracies and Death Cults by Douglas Murray

This book’s full title is On Democracies and Death Cults: Israel and the Future of Civilization. There are various extreme versions of what has occurred and what is occurring in this area of the middle east. History seems to depend on what you start from.

The first review by Arthur Read on Goodreads is interesting. I read all sorts of different points of view. His history starts in the early 1900’s. I do not agree with him, but I have heard his point of view before and I like to know what people think. Neil Kurtzman on his site of Medicine-opera reviews this book. He talks about the current societies of the Israelis and Palestinians. There is an interesting and very long review and very negative review of this book by Nathan Robinson on Current Affairs. It would seem that everyone just sees what they want to see. Tim Dieppe on does a perhaps more balance review on a Christian site of issacharpeople.

Douglas Murray on YouTube gives a short talk, 2 minutes, about his book. Camilla Tominey talks to Douglas Murray on GB News. Douglas Murray is interviewed at Hudson Institute by Hudson Senior Fellow Dr. Rebeccah L. Heinrichs. Alan Zeitlin on Unpacked has a great review with a couple of videos.

How Economics Explains the World by Andrew Leigh

This book’s full title is How Economics Explains the World: A Short History of Humanity. The start of this book is interesting in that he talks about how much effort we have to put in to get a source of artificial light going from wood fires to the electric light bulb.

Laurence B. Siegal at Advisor Perspectives has a great review of this book. Another good review is by Mourya Krishna on Medium.

A lot of the videos are really Podcasts, which I do not like. There is a podcast on The Next Big Idea Podcast. Andrew Leigh speaks his book of The Shortest History of Economics at The Sydney Institute. This is interesting where Gerard Henderson asks questions for Andrew Leigh to answer.

The Age of the Strongman by Gideon Rachman

This book’s full title is The Age of the Strongman: How the Cult of the Leader Threatens Democracy Around the World. In his epilogue, he ends saying that Durable political systems rely on institutions, not individuals. Successful societies are built on laws rather than charismatic leadership.

There are some interesting reviews on Good Reads. I liked the one by Adrian David. John Ikenberry on Foreign Affairs has his own take on Strongmen. The Literary Hub at Book Marks gives a variety of opinions about this book. And finally on Australian Institute of Internation Affairs John West gives an good review of this book.

Dominion by Tom Holland

This book’s full title is Dominion: How the Christian Revolution Remade the World. Also, on the front cover is “A galloping tour of Christianity’s influence across the last 2,000 years” – New York Times. My first impression on reading this book was that I thought it was a rather a chaotic view of Europe and Christianity. The book is certainly a romp through Europe with Christianity. However, it is an interesting and readable book.

There is a great review at History for Atheists by Tim O’Neill. It is very long. A review by Nathan Eberline is a good over view of what is in this book. Nicholas E. Meyer on The Freethinker does an interesting review of this book from a very different perspective and one I do not agree with, but it is interesting. Tim Keller does a review of this book and it is also interesting. He talks about the idea that Christianity influenced the west going back to Nietzsche.

Tom Holland on YouTube debates Anthony Clifford (A. C.) Grayling on Justin Brierley’s Christian radio show/podcast Unbelievable in December 2019. A. C. Grayling is a British philosopher. Tom Hollard points out that Christianity is not only influence by Greek philosophy, but also Jewish philosophy. And it was also influence by Persian philosophy because the Jewish faith was influence by Persian philosophy (Zoroastrianism). Tom Holland thinks that Western Civilization was heavily influenced by Christianity.

A. C. Grayling thinks that that the West think the way we do because we are human and we are overwhelmingly influence by the Greek culture and philosophy. This is what I got from the discussion. Neither man changed their views. I must admit I believe that the Western world was heavily influenced by Christianity. But Christian society was also greatly influenced by the Greeks and Romans. Historically, the Middle East was greatly influenced by the Greeks.

Tom Holland is interview by Eric Metaxas on Socrates in the City at Oxford, England. Tom Holland in interviewed on Triggernometry by Konstantin Kisin and Frances Foster. It is interesting, but there are an awful lot of ads that take away from discussion. Sam Harris interviews Tom Hollard on the Legacy of Christianity on YouTube.

Alone Against the North by Adam Shoalts

This book’s full title is Alone Against the North: An Expedition into the Unknown. Adam Shoalts is a great Canadian explorer. This is probably his first book. He wants to follow an unknown river in the Hudson Bay lowlands. He tries a number of times with friends, but ends up finding and following the river by himself. Adam Shoalts is a great story teller and I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. Adam Shoalts has a web site that lists his books.

Some of the reviews on this book talk about Adam Shoalts treatment of his friend Brent. I read this book after reading some of his later books. He is more mature in the later books. His treatment of Brent was not great, but I think the books shows him starting to be a story teller which is clearer in later works.

See a review of this book on Good Reads. There is an interesting review on Quill and Quire. This review also talks about Adam’s relationship and attitude to his friend Brent. On the Story Graph site the reviews vary quite a bit from denouncing Adam Shoalts as a jerk to be fascinated by his final adventure on the Again River.

There is a CTV News /a> interview that is short with some great pictures. This is an interesting interview called Whisky Fireside Chat . Interviewer is Kevin Callan who is also an author and one that Adam Shoalts has read.

The Builder’s Stone by Melanie Phillips

This book’s full title is The Builder’s Stone: How Jews and Christians Built the West—and Why Only They Can Save It”. I read this book because I saw an interview of Melanie Phillips on YouTube. I found her thesis quite interesting. Certainly, things seem to falling apart. The woke culture is certainly extreme. Covid has certainly changed live a lot. There is a question on how we move forward and this is not clear.

People have moved away from religion, like Christianity in the Western world and certainly in Canada where I live. I have noticed that people are making religion out of global warming. Some people have very extreme views on global warming, and if you say anything that is not exactly what you should say about global warming, they get mad. However, I do not see that anyone is thinking about what they can do. They are expecting that someone else should fix this problem.

The review at Culture Watch by Bill Muehlenberg is quite interesting. It is rather long, but it has lots of links that I found quite interesting as well. Well worth the read. There is another great review on The European Conservative by Rob Killick. Christopher Hancock posted on Oxford House Research a review of this book.

Melanie Phillips is interviewed by Winston Marshall. Because of this interview, I decided to get her book. Melanie Phillips is interviewed on Spectator TV. Melanie Phillips is interviewed by Jonathan Tobin.

A Short History of Humanity by Johannes Krause and Thomas Trappe

This book’s full title is A Short History of Humanity: A New History of Old Europe. It is translated by Caroline Waight from German. I found particularly of interest the movement of people from north of the Black Sea into Europe. This is probably because I am of European decent. A lot of the reviews seem to just skip over this part of the book.

There is a short review on Kirkus Review covering the basics from this book. However, the book covers a lot more concerning Europe. Florence Chilver at The Past site reviews this book. The review on Good Reads cover the part that of most interest to me and that was about European history. There are a number of reviews further down the page on Good Reads. The reviewer named Sense of History go into the European part of the book.

There is almost nothing on video for this book or the authors. That is probably because this book is a translation from the original book. The book was originally published in German as Die Reise Unserer Gene in 2019.
