"Everything has changed but the way We think." Attributed to both Leslie Groves and Albert Einstein right after the Hiroshima explosion, We humans still think as We always have about pretty much everything. It may be the source of Our present anxieties.

Government policy and...

Corporate Europe goes beyond the divisions between nation-states, focusing instead on the division between the corporate elite and the peoples of Europe.
David Cronin spent a year investigating the privileged access that big business enjoys in Brussels. In this book, he reveals...

Liars-Al Gore, the United Nations, the New York Times. The global warming lobby, relentless in its push for bigger government, more spending, and more regulation, will use any means necessary to scare you out of your wits-as well as your tax dollars and your liberties-with threats of rising oceans, deadly droughts, and unspeakable future consequences of "climate change."

Al Gore is bad for the planet... Talk about really inconvenient truths--that's one of the many you'll find in Iain Murray's rollicking exposé of environmental blowhards who waste more energy, endanger more species, and actually kill more people (yes, that's right) than the environmental villains they finger. Did you know that estrogen from birth control and "morning after" pills is causing male fish across America to develop female sex organs? Funny...

In his stunning new book, Marriage and Civilization, author William Tucker looks at the evidence from biology, evolution, anthropology, history, and culture to come to a remarkable conclusion: it was the monogamous pairing of male and female - unusual among mammals - that led to human evolution.

"Este pregón al progreso tiene su origen en Mendoza, pero fluirá por las provincias de la franja central para terminar con eclosión en la CABA y, desde allí, diseminarse al resto del país. Hemos vivido casi 40 años ininterrumpidos de Democracia. Sin embargo, los problemas socioeconómicos no solo han persistido, sino que se han agravado. Es mi interés que estas ideas vuelen alto, de modo tal que sobrepasen las oscuras y cargadas nubes de la...

Except in Texas.
While unemployment soars elsewhere, Texans are hard at work. While small businesses across the country are...

In my 10 plus years of teaching, I have found that students struggle with two major challenges in writing a quality capstone paper. First, they have difficulty creating a rigorous analytical framework. Too often, the papers tend to be more descriptive in nature, which means that the final policy recommendation may be flawed. This book attempts to fill that gap by discussing in detail the various components of the framework as well as their interdependence....
