“Beyond Politics calls us to expand our understanding of ‘what is going on in Israel today’ by focusing not on our current events, but on the lives of people—individuals living today in Israel—immigrants from different parts of the world and those born there. It is a must read for anyone who cares deeply about the future of Israel and the Jewish people and seeks to foster dialogue, cooperation, and shalom in the Middle East. Reading Beyond Politics was a joy that enhanced and enriched my own understanding of Israel—and I live there! If you want to understand the true face of Israel—in all its diversity and depth—Beyond Politics is a must read.”

“This fantasy interview is a smartly-rigged device for an extended rumination on the 60s/70s cultural sea change and the conflicting forces that both motivated and frustrated the artists of that era…Gardner is an intriguing, paradoxical character…he’s arrogant and self-deluded one moment, vulnerable and self-effacing the next—the standard bag of contradictions for any ‘tortured’ rock star.”

“Honestly, I wish Bitch? Please! was around when I entered the workforce because it offers practical tips on how to deal with difficult women. I now wonder if I would be in a different place in my career if I had access to the advice. The book is an enjoyable read, almost as though it was written by a personal friend specifically for me. Moving forward, I’ll be implementing Munroe’s tips and embracing the nice girl image and hope you will, too.”
