This rich anthology will be an eye-opener for many, but particularly for the young men who are most confused about how they are to act in life." "WHAT IS A MAN? violates all of the norms of political correctness by reminding us that men have specific virtues B virtues that are neither the watered-down qualities of niceness and compassion, nor aimless and violent aggression. – Norman Doidge, author of The Brain’s Way of Healing But manly virtue, he argues, is our best hope of bringing men and women together with respect and dignity." Newell's inspiring book is about how to build manly virtue – which sounds antiquated because manly virtue is all but forgotten or remembered only in parody. It is unlike any recent book for the general reader I know of on the relations between the sexes. Brilliantly timed, conceived, edited and introduced by Professor Newell, WHAT IS A MAN? is an anthology of buried treasures. Newell’s new 800-page book, is an asteroid hurtling toward our planet – and if I am not mistaken, it is headed straight for the Tower of Babel, the construction that produced the babble about sexual matters that we all now speak.
