A lesson of commitment and ethics
I met Mr. James Newton and his wife Ellie, almost twenty five years ago in his Fort Myers real estate office. Jim was in the process of finishing the manuscript for this outstanding book in which he shares many life changing moments with his five unusual friends.Jim delightfully reminds us of his firsthand experiences with them.Throughout the book, he gives us a clear understanding of how these historical icon friends impacted his life.Each of them, 'The Uncommon Friends,' had high standards of personal and business ethics.Reading the book is a flash back in American history.You may have heard some of these stories previously.But they were secondhand.Now you can read in his book as Mr. Newton relates many of these firsthand, intimate moments with Edison, Ford, Firestone, Lindbergh and Carrel.I recommend the book!

My only regret is waiting so long to acquire the it.

Very Interesting.
What a lucky man, to have lived and shared the time he did, with those incredible people. Mr. Newton tells it like he lived it, you get the distinct impression, from reading this book, that Mr. Newton saw these men as both great leaders and great men. It is impressive today to be able to get a cross section of turn of the century greatness, all rolled up in one place. Interestingly enough, Mr. Newton has a strong sense of faith that worked it's way into all of these relationships, yet he incorporates it into the text with minimal overtones. I would recommend this book to anyone, like me, that only has a passing knowledge of these people and their times, it helped to color these people in as human.

Fascinating & stimulating
This book gives insight in many discussions on business, theology and philosophy among five extraordinary people. But I find it regrettable that the belief of Edison, Ford & Lindbergh in reincarnation is rather superficially worked out. Perhaps because of the religious stance of his wife and the author.
I deem it also regrettable that no mention is made of the membership of Edison of the Theosophical Society while it is obvious he was much inspired by the books of Blavatsky.
Apart from a few inaccuracies (on p. 10: Edison is attributed to have received as a gift every new car that ran from the Ford assembly line, among which the first V8. But the V8 was introduced after the demise of this great inventor, p. 100) I find this book very readable and stimulating.

A Fascinating Book on the Lives of Five Great Men
This book originally caught my eye as an addition to another book I read called Edison: A Life of Invention by Paul Israel. I wanted a book that would cover a little more of Edison's personal life, and this book did just that. However, James Newton's close, dedicated friendships with all of these great men of the twentieth century is truly amazing, and I learned more than I would probably learn otherwise about some of these important historical figures.

The entire book is fascinating, and surely different parts will appeal to different readers. I was particularly enchanted with a poignant description of how Charles Lindbergh handled dying as he lay on his deathbed. I was also fascinated with how environmentally conscientious some of these men were, particularly Edison and Lindbergh, but also Ford. For example, Ford was very interested in making automobile parts out of soybeans in order to reduce the need for metal parts. It seems that all of these men had numerous ideas and ideas for inventions that were way ahead of their time - perhaps some of them still are.

Newton's writing is quite good, and I only have one very minor criticism: it seems that he preaches a little bit and dwells on the religious facet of his relationships with these people. Of course, I'm sure this was a very important part of his relationship with these men and their families, but it seems that there is a grand, overarching agenda he has in constantly illustrating their connection to God and religion.

If you are interested in any of these historical figures and their fascinating relationships with each other, this book is definitely the best book you will find on the subject.

He became the 40th Prime Minister of Italy in 1922 and began using the title Il Duce by 1925. After 1936, his official title was "His Excellency Benito Mussolini, Head of Government, Duce of Fascism, and Founder of the Empire". Mussolini also created and held the supreme military rank of First Marshal of the Empire along with King Victor Emmanuel III of Italy, which gave him and the King joint supreme control over the military of Italy. Mussolini remained in power until he was replaced in 1943; for a short period after this until his death, he was the leader of the Italian Social Republic.

Malinin on Carrel
Malinin has captured what is indeed the "extraordinary" life and career of Alexis Carrel (1873-1944). Carrel was born in Lyon, France in 1873, emigrated to the United States in 1905, and between 1905 and 1912made incredible advances in medicine. Most of his research focused on howto keep a human organ alive outside the body. In 1912 he was the recipientof the Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine for developing a practicaltechnique to suture veins and arteries, thus making new and morecomplicated surgical techniques available to physicians and patients. Hewrote several books in English and French, including (in English) THETREATMENT OF INFECTED WOUNDS (1917), MAN, THE UNKNOWN (1935), THE CULTUREOF ORGANS (1938), THE VOYAGE TO LOURDES (1950), and REFLECTIONS ON LIFE(1952). Carrel counted among his friends Thomas Edison, Henry Ford, andCharles Lindbergh (with whom he invented an electric prototype for anartificial heart pump). His reflections on life constitute a Christianized elitist philosophy about the future of humanity. He returned to France onretirement in 1939 and continued to write, mostly works on prayer and hisvarious pilgrimages, until his death in 1944. Named in Carrel's honor arethe Foundation Alexis Carrel and the Instituto Alexis Carrel--educationalinstitutions which focus on cardiovascular medicine. Malinin's bookprovides the reader with a comprehensive view of Carrel the surgeon andCarrel the philosopher. ... Read more

Il peut être le fruit d'une politique délibérément menée par un État. Il peut aussi être le résultat collectif d'une somme de décisions individuelles convergentes prises par les futurs parents, dans une société où primerait la recherche de l' « enfant parfait », ou du moins indemne de nombreuses affections graves.

On peut distinguer l'eugénisme de la préoccupation d'assurer à ses enfants le « meilleur » coreproducteur (quoique « meilleur » puisse signifier : taille des cornes, couleurs des plumes, ou étendue du patrimoine ou de la culture, etc.), ainsi que de la pratique qui consiste à favoriser le plus prometteur de ses enfants.
