The Heathen's Guide to World Religions is a humorous but accurate
history of the murder, lust, greed, and sheer stupidity that have
made the world's religions what they are today. "Hopper represents
the most lethal of organized religions many opponents: a curious,
well-educated individual with a sharp wit." Queen's University
Journal Review "Wickedly fun and informative." Toronto Star "The
Heathen's Guide To World Religions has taken up permanent residence
on my bookshelves... a masterfully written, wonderfully funny, and
deliciously snarky trip down religious lane." Al Stefanelli, UNITED
ATHEIST FRONT. "Like Monty Python in religious garb... easily one
of the best places to invest your book buying dollar." Georgia

Where does the Protestant work ethic come from? And how did America
achieve such dominance in management for so long? "The Puritan
Gift" traces the origins and the characteristics of American
managerial culture which, in the course of three centuries, turned
a group of small colonies into the greatest economic and political
power on earth. It argues that the drive, energy and acceptance of
innovation, competition, growth and social mobility, all of which
lie at the root of America's management culture, have their origins
in the discipline and ethos of America's first wave of European
immigrants: the Puritans.And, the authors warn, as Americans
distance themselves from the core values which produced their
business and economic successes during the nineteenth and twentieth
centuries, they put their future prosperity and security at risk.
This is an original exploration of the dramatic and far-reaching
consequences of the Puritans' 'gift' to America - the ethos which
produced the early success of America and what came to be known as
the American dream.
