Reflections Of A Siamese Twin: Canada At The End Of The Twentieth Century
John Ralston Saul
Penguin Books Australia Ltd
, 1999
Identity of the north
Saul continues his attack on the "kidnapping" of language by political parties and leaders, and on the misconceptions of economics. There's a lot to digest in this book: Saul has degrees in Economics, History, and Political Science. In this work he blends rich ...
The Collapse of Globalism: And the Reinvention of the World
John Ralston Saul
Overlook Hardcover
, 2005
Mincing Mammon's minions
"Gimmie that old time religion" ran the gospel classic. Since the early 1970s, says Saul, a new religion has emerged, displacing existing dogmas. It's called "Globalism". Globalism lacks a deity, but provides us with a fresh dogma - "borderless commerce". The ranks of ...
On Equilibrium
John Ralston Saul
Penguin Books Canada, Limited
, 2002
A Brilliant Tour de Force
This is quite possibly the best book Saul has written to date. His writting style is lucid and in a sense, quite remarkable. He examines the central aspects that make us human and examines them in comparison to history. Highly Recommended.
On Equilibrium: Six Qualities of the New Humanism
John Ralston Saul
Da Capo Press
, 2004
Challenging and Mind-Expanding
I really enjoyed this book. Saul's writing is somewhat challenging, but with effort it becomes rhythmic. I valued his perpectives on human orientations and how they balance each other. The notion of "equilibrium" in human activities is a sound one, especially in ...

Accessing a great wilderness area..... GerryM
After visiting the yukon(from Australia)and travelling by road I was interested in learning about more inaccessable areas of the Yukon. The book is first and foremost a photographic journey in the great boreal wilderness area by way of the Snake, Bonnet Plume and Wind ...
The Doubter's Companion
John Ralston Saul
Penguin
, 1995
Biting Commentary Essential to all Concerned Citizens
Saul has attempted to place the current use of language for the purpose of public discussion into historical terms. Through the unusual format of a dictionary-style argument, Saul convincingly argues that our public officials' obsession with a society conceived upon ...
Voltaire's Bastards: The Dictatorship of Reason in the West
John Ralston Saul
Vintage
, 1993
AN INTELLECTUAL TOUR DE FORCE
John Saul makes the argument that when the world swung away from the faith-based beliefs of the Middle Ages to the rational thinking of the Age of Reason, it over-reacted in equating rational thinking with truth. In other words, rational arguments may lead to false ...
The Unconscious Civilization
John Ralston Saul
Free Press
, 1999
Wake up and Smell the Oil Wal-Mart Shoppers
If the doubling, in less than a year, of the price of oil for no discernable reason (with no end in sight), and with absolutely no reaction from us or our government is not evidence that something is terribly wrong with our collective mind. Then surely an order of ...

The Paradise Eater
John Ralston Saul
Fawcett
, 1989
A must for dedicated Asiafiles!
The main character is a Canadian expat living in Bangkok who has almost, but not quite, "gone native". While the story line is excellent, what I find fascinating is the ancillary cast of characters and sub-plots, which move through Bangkok as the economy is beginning ...
