There are a great many pages missing. I'm not sure if that's intentional or how that happened.

I love the adaptive nature of fundamentalism. It harnesses technology without missing a beat. Quite fit, in the Darwinian sense.
Merely human nature.

Its a copyright violation to post the whole book.

It is a good book, but it was a little too soft.
One thing I thought was interesting: the book was published in 1982, based on research that had been done since (I think) 1975. So in the profile of the typical American Beis Midrash rebbe, Helmreich described him as European born. I think with our foray into Beis Midrash, only a generation later, the typical American BM rebbe was already American born, no?

But posting 50% or more of the book is okay?

They post as much as the publisher allows. If it's 50% searchable, that means the publisher believed that it is advantageous for that much of the book to be searchable on google books.

Good to know.
What other additions did he make?
