However, subtle insinuation or implicit assumptions made in the way this book seems to do (judging from the synopsis, movie clip, interview with the author and yes, to a smaller degree, the reviewers, on the amazon page) can, as I see it, be equally harmful in promoting this kind of attitude and mentality.</blockquote>
