the Story of William Walker and His Associates
It was discussed as being published in 1916, during a time where colonialism was viewed positively. The book discussed the growing support of filibustering, particularly mentioning the 'appetite comes with eating' proverb in regards to American land hunger.

if on the other hand they happened to direct their attention towards another nation whose sovereignty was formally recognized by their own they were called filibusters
there is a proverb current among Frenchmen to the effect that the appetite comes with eating and in the case of the land hunger of the American people the truth this assertion seems well established
as soon as they set foot on American soil the colonists from Europe were compelled to wrest their lands from the savages many of whom resisted the invaders to the death
It was discussed as a 1916 book that was somewhat favorably biased towards William Walker and the concept of Manifest Destiny. It was used to give insight into the mindset of Americans who supported Walker's actions in Mexico.
It is consoling, however, to record that our faults, numerous as they were, were symptoms of youth and super abundant health rather than signs of senile degeneracy.

In the first part of The Engineers and the Price System, a work that has been broadly ignored even by his followers, Veblen wrote a section called On the Nature and Uses of Sabotage.
It was discussed as a book that heavily focused on the concept of corporate sabotage. The author was quoted directly from the book, arguing that the ordinary work of a corporation is a form of sabotage, as it prioritizes profits over the needs of people.
In the first part of "The Engineers and the Price System", a work that has been broadly ignored even by his followers, Veblen wrote a section called "On the Nature and Uses of Sabotage".
From that work, writers and speakers who dilate on the militarious exploits of the nation's businessmen will not commonly allude to this voluminous running administration of sabotage, this conscientious withdrawal of efficiency that goes into their ordinary day's work.
We are not used to thinking of the ordinary work of a corporation being sabotage.
But for Veblen, there was no other explanation for what he was seeing.
But for reasons of business expediency, it is impossible to let these idle plants and idle workmen go to work.
That is to say, for reasons of insufficient profit to the businessmen interested or in other words, for reasons of insufficient income to the vested interests which control the staple industries and so regulate the output of product.

Joe Arpaio had a difficult time in school. He struggled to get passing grades and often bore the brunt of anti-immigrant thoughts. Dago, WAP, Guinea. He took it, pretended to ignore it because that's what you did back then, he told us.
We came to understand that Arpaio learned in the small drug enforcement agency then overseen by the Treasury Department, a lot of things that would inform his tenure as a Maricopa County Sheriff.
We asked Arpaio several times if he'd ever killed anybody. He answered, Not that I know of, although in Turkey I used to have gun battles. I think one gun battle I did hit one or two dope peddlers only because I am the one that had the gun. A 38, I guess.
He added hastily that he had never killed anyone in the United States. Another time he told us, In Turkey I've had some gun battles. I don't know who killed who, but I never killed anybody.

The four older Duggar sisters published this book, capitalizing on their family's fame and discussing relationships. Josh Duggar contributed a passage about accountability and confessing sins.
As I became a young man, I was constantly tempted to have lots of wrong thoughts and often battled to keep my heart right.
One of the greatest things that helped me in my struggles was my parents' commitment to accountability.
They were faithful to talk with each of us children if we were willing to share honestly and openly with them to maintain a clear conscience.
I learned quickly that great freedom can be achieved by accountability, but that deep accountability requires humility and openness.
I often had failures in my early teenage years, but I found that I had a clear conscience only when I was willing to confess my thoughts quickly to God and to my parents.

Michelle Duggar wrote this book, where she included a story told by her husband about purity and the consequences of losing it, using a bike as a metaphor.
Imagine that your parents are going to surprise you and give you a brand new bike for Christmas.
Two weeks before Christmas, they buy your bike and hide it in the storage shed in the backyard.
But then the boy next door sneaks into the shed and borrows your new bike. He stunt rides it up and down the back alley.
On Christmas morning, your parents lead you out to the shed to reveal the special gift they bought for you.
And as they open the door and say, 'surprise,' they're just as surprised as you are. You're all shocked to see that the bike looks like it's been thrown off a cliff.

It was mentioned as a 1970 book that initially supported the concept of alpha wolves, but was later revised by the author to correct inaccuracies regarding wolf pack dynamics.
Schenkel's work was basically the only word most people could find on worse on wolf behavior. His findings were backed up in 1970 when wildlife biologist David Meck published The Wolf, the ecology and behavior of an endangered species.
The concept of the alpha wolf as a top dog ruling a group of similar aged compatriots Meck writes in the 1999 paper is particularly misleading.
The hosts referred to David Mech's 1970 book The Wolf, the ecology and behavior of an endangered species, noting its challenge to earlier wolf hierarchy research.
David Mech published The Wolf, the ecology and behavior of an endangered species, a 1970 book that disputed earlier, flawed work on wolf social structure.

One gratifying aspect of our rise to some prominence is that for the first time in my memory we our side has captured a crucial word from the enemy. Libertarians had long been simply a polite word for left-wing anarchists that is for anti private property anarchists either of the communist or syndicalist variety but now we had to turn him over.
It was mentioned as a book where Rothbard highlighted his efforts to reclaim the term 'libertarian' and shift its meaning from its original anarchist connotations to a right-wing perspective.

It was discussed as a biography of Cecil Rhodes, focusing on his development and upbringing, and was quoted in relation to his childhood and behaviour.
When vexed, he would hide in a dark corner under the staircase, not speaking for hours.
He sometimes fled to the family's summer home with a book, pouring over it by the hour together, resenting imperiously any attempted intrusion.
He was prone to strange fits of moodiness, some vague uneasiness of spirit whose source he was never able to properly communicate, unaware himself of whether it was melancholy or horror that seized him.
Occasionally, the young Rhodes rocked himself to and fro and kept up a low crooning which was almost a moan, a crooning that never shaped itself into articulate words.
At such times, Miss Rhodes would go to her special son and, with her arms about him, she would beg him to explain the reason of his disquiet. But he never told her, locking himself then as later in a private, possibly solipsistic world.
It was described as a biography of Cecil Rhodes, detailing his childhood and upbringing, including his mother's coddling and his father's criticism of his dreams.
Miss Rhodes was unusually skilled in establishing supportive relations. Well-liked by contemporaries and servants, she provided an ample measure of love for her children, especially Cecil. It was that special love which was the foundation of his invincible self-confidence, an affirmative sense of self, which was both a spur to accomplishment and a resilient buffer against the ravages of failure.
My father frequently and I am now sure wisely demolished many of my dreams is fantastical. But when I had rebuilt them on more practical lines, he was ready to listen again. He never failed to put his finger on the weak spots, and his criticism soon taught me to consider a question from every possible point of view.
roads may have continued dreaming of a university education and of life as a professional, probably a barrister. But these would have been dreams with utilitarian motives. For the moment, he was content to have land of your own horses of your own and shooting when you like and a lot of black inwards to do what you like with apart from the fact of making money.

So he realized that he was an unusually talented surgeon and an unusually brilliant thinker due to the incredible success of his goat testicle and ovaries, and he was able to get the results of his goat testicle and ovary implants.
This book, commissioned by Dr. Brinkley himself, was used to provide a biased account of his perspective, including the story of how he was convinced to implant goat testicles into a farmer.
So he realized that he was an unusually talented surgeon and an unusually brilliant thinker due to the incredible success of his goat testicle and ovaries, and he was able to get the results of his goat testicle and ovary implants.
The doctor half closed his eyes and considered, and then he shook his head slowly. The code of ethics his father had drilled into him forever forbade him from any conducts, especially with relation to healing, except the utterly honest and straightforward.
