Capitalism [Secure Mobipocket/Microsoft Reader/eReader (recommended)]
by Ayn Rand
|
|
 The foundations of capitalism are being battered by a flood of altruism, which is the cause of the modern world's collapse. This is the view of Ayn Rand, a view so radically opposed to prevailing attitudes that it constitutes a major philosophic revolution. In this series of essays, she presents her stand on the persecution of big business, the causes of war, the default of conservatism, and the evils of altruism. Here is a challenging new look at modern society by one of the most provocative in... more info>>

by Ann Coulter
|
|
Uttering lines that send liberals into paroxysms of rage, otherwise known as "citing facts," is the spice of life.

Seeds of Terror: An Eyewitness Account of Al-Qaeda's Newest Center of Operations in Southeast Asia [Secure Mobipocket/Microsoft Reader/eReader (recommended)/Adobe]
by Maria Ressa
|
|
 For anyone wishing to understand the next, post-9/11 generation of al-Qaeda planning, leadership, and tactics, there is only one place to begin: Southeast Asia. In fact, such countries as the Philippines, Indonesia, Thailand, and Malaysia have been crucial nodes in the al-Qaeda network since long before the strikes on the Pentagon and World Trade Center, but when the allies overran Afghanistan, the new camps in Southeast Asia became the key training grounds for the future. It is in the Muslim st... more info>> (Published: 2004)

Named one of the best books of the year by The Sunday Times of London, and already a bestseller in England, Noreena Hertz's The Silent Takeover explains how corporations in the age of globalization are changing our lives, our society, and our future--and are threatening the very basis of our democracy.

by Karen Donovan
|

In a society ever more obsessed with legal drama, David Boies, the star of a thousand press conferences, stands head and shoulders above the rest. The most prominent trial lawyer in the United States, Boies was catapulted to international prominence when he represented Al Gore before the Supreme Court in Bush v. Gore, in the aftermath of the 2000 presidential election.

...And His Lovely Wife: A Memoir from the Woman Beside the Man [Secure Mobipocket/Microsoft Reader/eReader (recommended)]
by Connie Schultz

|
The first time I heard it, I laughed. Oh, come on, I thought. He didn't just say that. We were at a restaurant in southern Ohio, where a hundred or so Democrats and a handful of young campaign workers had gathered to hear my husband, Sherrod Brown, announce for the seventh time in two days why he was running for the United States Senate. The party chairman of the county stood up at the lectern and in a loud, booming voice, introduced "Congressman Sherrod Brown--and his lovely wife." By Week 40 o... more info>>

A Sustainable Economy for the 21st Century [Secure Microsoft Reader/eReader (recommended)/Adobe]
by Juliet Schor

In this groundbreaking pamphlet, Juliet Schor, author of The Overworked American, examines how Americans can begin making the shift away from a resource-destructive society to one that values the environment, community, and quality of life above business and profit. She a traces back how after W.W.II, Americans had hoped that technology and social investment would yield shorter work weeks, more pay, and complete healthcare.

American Furies: Crime, Punishment, and Vengeance in the Age of Mass Imprisonment [Secure Microsoft Reader]
by Sasha Abramsky
|
|
In this dramatic expose of U.S. penitentiaries and the communities around them, Sasha Abramsky finds that prisons have dumped their age-old goal of rehabilitation, often for political reasons. The new "ideal," unknown to most Americans, is a punitive mandate marked by a drive toward vengeance. Surveying this state of affairs--life sentences for nonviolent crimes, appalling conditions, the growth of private prisons, the treatment of juveniles--Abramsky asks: Does the vengeful impulse ennoble our ... more info>>

Are Men Necessary?: When Sexes Collide [Secure Mobipocket/Microsoft Reader/eReader (recommended)]
by Maureen Dowd
|
|
Fresh from her success with the best-selling Bushworld, Maureen Dowd turns her sparkling prose and wise wit to a topic even more incendiary than presidential politics: sexual politics. Four decades after the sexual revolution, nothing has worked out the way it was supposed to. The sexes are circling each other as uneasily and comically as ever, from the bedroom to the boardroom to the Situation Room, and now the New York Times columnist who won a Pulitzer Prize in 1999 for saucy and incisive com... more info>>

AWOL: The Unexcused Absence of America's Upper Classes from Military Service--and How it Hurts Our Country [Secure Mobipocket/Microsoft Reader/eReader (recommended)/Adobe]
by Kathy Roth-Douquet, Frank Schaeffer
|
|
Military service was once taken for granted as a natural part of good citizenship, and Americans of all classes served during wartime. Not anymore. As Kathy Roth-Douquet and Frank Schaeffer assert in this groundbreaking work, there is a glaring disconnect between the "all volunteer military" and the rest of us. And as that gap between the cultural "elite" and military rank-and-file widens, our country faces a dangerous lack of understanding between those in power and those who defend our way of ... more info>> (Published: 2006)

Bill of Wrongs: The Executive Branch's Assault on America's Fundamental Rights [Secure Microsoft Reader/eReader (recommended)]

Throughout her long career of "afflicting the comfortable and comforting the afflicted," the cause closest to Molly Ivins's heart was working to protect the freedoms we all value. Sadly, today we're living in a time when dissent is equated with giving aid to terrorists, when any of us can be held in prison without even knowing the charges against us, and when our constitutional rights are being interpreted by a president who calls himself "The Decider." Ivins got the idea for Bill of Wrongs whil... more info>>

From Washington to Kennebunkport to Texas to old Europe and new Europe during the past two decades, Maureen Dowd has trained her binoculars on the Bush dynasty, putting them, as both 41 and 43 have complained to her, "on the couch."

In a little over two centuries, America has grown from a regional power to a superpower, and to what is today called a hyperpower.
