Summary: Respect: An Exploration
Comment: In the book, "Respect" the author goes through many storeies of cases where people have given respect to others, some who are poor, sick etc. Lightfoot first goes into and talks about Respect in general, about how we all should give respect and be very respectfull to others in need. At first, there is stories of young mothers pregant who can not afford hospitlzation, and how the lady has a open clinic and takes care of numerous patients a day, for free. There is many other stories that are happy, sad, and humerous. This book opens a new world to me, and i think the more i think about it i would love to help people in need, to show that everyone should have respect even if they are not like everyone else.

Summary: A Respectful Exploration
Comment: Sara Lawrence-Lightfoot explores six different themes of respect by profiling six individuals that she associates with those qualities. I found the book uneven between the chapters, but that is because I found some of the people she profiled more interesting than others. I particularly enjoyed her chapter on David Wilkins, the Harvard Law School Professor; his strides for excellence seems to measure merely his own inadequacies (his was the chapter on Self-Respect). I was fascinated reading about him.
Still, I would recommend this book taken as an exploration--not definitive, not a self-help book, and not an exposition. But it is inspiring, challenging, informative, and she writes very well.

Summary: Wonderful stories . . .With No Summary or Commone Themes
Comment: Professor Lawrence-Lightfoot has presented some wonderful stories of some very engaging people. I enjoyed reading about their lives and the author's involvement with them. The book had the potential to provide a real service to all of us struggling with this area of behavior and specifically to those of us trying to help others give respect. However, the book just comes to a dead stop at the end of the last story . . .with no effort to pull together the common themes about respect---what have learned about being respectful? How can we be more respectful? It's up to the reader to go back and dig out the learnings from these stories. I subsequently wrote to the author asking for more information or a summary of respectful behaviours and she, in turn, turned my request over to her graduate assistant in a gesture that was profoundly disrepectful.
