Selected Books about Donald Trump and His Impeachment
NOTE: The color code for the authors goes as follows: those critical of Trump are shown in blue; those defending or supporting him are shown in red to indicate lack of coherent argument. Books that make a reasonable defense of Trump, should I find any, will have titles shown in black. There is a host of self-published books touting Trump, and quite a few by "big-name" authors like Newt Gingrich, Victor Davis Hanson, Roger Stone, or Jerome Corsi. I put no credence in these authors. If I have done a review, I include a link to it. The score given by customers of Amazon.com is generally a good indicator of a product's quality. In my experience, this is true for the great majority of books. However, there are cases of a controversial book being downrated simply because it is controversial, often by people who haven't read it. (The reverse also occurs, of course; a book may get fulsome praise from uncritical people.) If, in my opinion, either sort of rating distortion occurs, I indicate it by a red background. In following the reviews of climate change books on Amazon, I have encountered a few individuals who seek out mainstream books and give them derogatory reviews. Reviews by such campaigners are often brief and general (e.g. "This book is worthless!"), making it likely that they didn't read the book and are just reacting to its title or description. The publisher is often a clue to the quality of the book. Mainstream publishers try not to produce nonfiction books which present unfounded information. You will see in this list that the majority of the red titles come from obscure publishers, or from self-publishing operations. (The exception is Regnery, long known to specialize in right-wing, often bogus, tracts.) This is not to say every self-published book is suspect; but the ones on climate change generally are. In the Library Call Number field (right-most in the box below the Amazon rating), "SJn" denotes the floor on which the book is shelved at San Jose's Martin Luther King Public Library (shared with SJSU) where n varies from 1 to 8. "SJ0" indicates King Library system does not currently have a copy. Sometimes copies are all at one or more branch libraries, with none at main. This is indicated by "SJBr." A call number with a strike-through line means the book is in the library's database but the copy is listed as missing. (Many are simply misplaced; I have recovered 24 such.) |
