Dr Spock’s book needs to be in this list of the top ten.

You can see the top 10 list by looking at the table of contents at Amazon.

The only one I disagree with is “Mein Kampf”. I don’t think it’s ideas are relevant in todays world it has had comparatively little lasting impact. Nazi Germany’s predations had little to do with Hitler’s writing. I think “Mein Kampf” should be bumped to the bottom 5 and “The Feminine Mystique” should be moved up to the top 10.

I don't see Rachel Carson on the list of authors, but Silent Spring was very influential for my generation and is causing havoc to this day.

Maybe more folks will read, rather than post talking points.

Is ‘Earth in the Balance’ by Al Gore part of this mix?
I think the author should create a new category or re-title the book (’10 Books That Have Screwed Up the World — and 10 That Will’)

”…exposing our often blind worship of "Science"

It’s not rational science and reason we blindly worship, the list of those things includes religion.

”Kinsey is too disgusting to mention in mixed company,….”

One cannot reasonably expect reasoned discourse to follow such a predicate statement;

and one is not disappointed.

To be fair, Mead, Marx, Engels and many of the rest on this list were way wrong and, in Mead's case, simply dishonest. The books didn't screw up our culture, the screwed up among us wrote books. This book would easily make the list of such books.

I clicked on this link from another post. THANKS A BUNCH! This looks like an excellent book and I love the title. Who says those Franciscans don’t have a good sense of humor?
