Recenzii

There is always this complication involved in reading an analysis of our current cultural rot as seen through the eyes of Herbert London: he is himself one of the most consoling contradictions of his own diagnosis.
Anyone who cares about the future of America will want to read Herb London's wise and clear-sighted reflections in The Transformational Decade. London not only provides an expert diagnosis of the forces challenging our freedom and prosperity, he also outlines a tonic series of responses that can help salvage our moral, economic, and political future. A must-read book by one of our most articulate cultural critics.
London has taken his great breadth of learning and applied it lucidly to the problems and possibilities of one of the most perplexing periods that America has ever been presented with. At the end of this book you will have many of the answers necessary to face the years ahead, a scholarly gift from Professor London.
