—Maria Beltran, Reader's Favorite Review

Over the past few decades the country has become highly divided politically. In the course of reporting current events, the concepts of conservative and liberal have become grossly distorted. At the top of a political agenda is the demonization of the opposition party. The true accomplishments and values have been suppressed. If this is not corrected, government will continue towards an abyss of dysfunction, disunity, and dissension. It is paramount that the US electorate is accurately and fully informed regarding the record of liberals and conservatives. Hence this book.

The author was a Spacecraft Engineer on NASA’s Apollo program and a Computer Science instructor at California State University. He holds a Master’s degree in Systems Engineering from the University of California and has traveled extensively through Europe, Asia, Africa, and South America. Among his accomplishments, are ascending Mt. Kilimanjaro, Mt. Everest, and photographing total solar eclipses around the world. Living on the beach in Southern California, he is involved in managing his real estate investments, writing, and spending time with his grown children and his grandsons.

Reviews for The Liberal Record

[sheiladeeth_1 · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Author Marcela Brazzi was a spacecraft engineer on the Apollo program and a computer science instructor, who has traveled the world extensively photographing solar eclipses. In this book, he looks at an increasingly divided America and writes about “The Liberal Record.”For a foreigner coming to America, our definition of “liberal” can be seriously confusing. In England, liberal meant generous, kind, caring about others. Which is what it meant here, historically, as well. Only recently has the word been applied to a single political party, a single religious stance, and a single derided social attitude if you’re among the wrong friends.Wisely reminding his readers that people are more alike than they think, the author shows how easily we are deluded. But “the liberal record” is not written for those who will disagree with the author. Quoting an article titled “Unskilled and unaware of it,” is not designed to make those who disagree with the author more aware of anything. Similarly, claiming a “liberal Christ was able to get God to change his mind,” in a chapter on history, won’t endear the author to the many politically liberal Christians in America—a case of the writer perhaps being “unskilled and unaware” of things of faith.The book has a lot to offer to readers who share the author’s opinions, and delves into many different areas of ethics, politics, social science, history and more. It includes well-known examples of corporate deception, inviting comparison with political deception, and offers interesting numbers, quotations and graphs. Concluding that “Democrats need to understanding that playing defense does not inspire voters,” the author invites active response, but may have lost some followers along the way.I wanted more, but then, I’m a mathematically minded, devotedly Christian, politically liberal stranger, attracted by the science and politics of the title, but possibly not a member of the desired audience.Disclosure: I was given a copy and I freely offer my honest review.
