Theodore Roosevelt on books and reading.

- Abstract
"Theodore Roosevelt on Books and Reading" is a compilation by Mark West that sheds light on the intellectual side of Theodore Roosevelt, a figure often associated with outdoorsmanship and ruggedness. The collection covers a wide range of topics, offering insight into Roosevelt's opinions on childhood, science, nature, history, politics, and more. One essay, "Books on Big Game," reveals Roosevelt's progressive thinking on hunting, where he criticizes the commercialized slaughter of wildlife. The only flaw in the collection is the absence of a conclusion, which could have provided reflection and further analysis. Overall, the book offers a refreshing perspective on Roosevelt and emphasizes the complexity of historical figures beyond their popular images.
