First delivered as lectures in the 1960s, when Booth was a professor at Earlham College and the University of Chicago, "Now Don't Try to Reason with Me "still resounds with anyone struggling for consensus in a world of us versus them.
"Professor Booth's earnestness is graced by wit, irony, and generous humor."--Louis Coxe, "New Republic
