This book is full of short, pithy statements pointedly, but briefly substantiated before the next subject is broached. Made me want to dig deeper. Minor joint abrasion and tiny cover spots.

The Way it Works; Inside Ottawa

By: Goldenberg, Eddie

Price: $15.00 USD

Publisher: Toronto, McClelland & Stewart: 2006

Seller ID: 010475

ISBN: 0-7710-3352-4

Binding: Hard Cover

Condition: Very Good

Black cloth on boards. No writing or damage. I would have changed the title to "The Way it Worked for Me" in light of the apparent fact that much, if not most, of what happens in politics is based upon the merger or collision of personalities, as opposed to the intellectual consideration of issues. At any rate, anyone who lasts 30 years in such an important environment must have something worthwhile to contribute, even though it were by default. 402 pp.

"Not a few of those who come forward to advocate the mental equality of the sexes, do so in order to show that woman is entitled to the same political rights and privileges as man; a doctrine which, if brought into practical exercise, would tend to the total disorganization of the family institution, and, even more effectually than the spirit of the age, dissolve the domestic ties, and destroy all that makes woman efficient as a moral helpmate of man."- Pp. 167-168.
