America is under attack as never before—not only from terrorists but from people who provide a rationale for terrorism. Best-selling author Dinesh D'Souza takes on all of America's critics and proves them wrong—as perhaps only a writer with an immigrant's understanding of this country can. D'Souza presents his case for intelligent patriotism based on an understanding of what really makes America unique in the world.

Most Americans are likely to encounter the effects of government malfeasance or neglect close to home—from their governors, mayors, town councils, school boards, police, and prosecutors. In fact, deals shrouded in darkness are regularly made at the state and local levels, often the result of closed-door discussions between governments and industry without any scrutiny whatsoever from the public.

The liberal arts university has been in decline since well before the virtualization of campus life, increasingly inviting public skepticism about its viability as an institution of personal, civ­ic, and professional growth. New technologies that might have brought people together have instead frustrated the university’s capacity to foster thoughtful citizenship among tomorrow’s lead­ers and exacerbated socioeconomic inequalities that are poison­ing America’s civic culture.

Quieres caminar seguro por las calles, que tu voz sea escuchada y que puedas estar orgulloso de tus gobernantes. Ese México es posible, pero ¿de dónde hay que partir? De la participación ciudadana. Este audiolibro brinda un análisis meticuloso de lo que ha sucedido en las últimas décadas: del capitalismo voraz a las ocurrencias del régimen actual, y propone el camino para colocar los cimientos de un país con Estado de derecho, con ética y honestidad, con seguridad y con respeto a la propiedad privada.

Denise Dresser presenta una lectura urgente y necesaria: López Obradorsedujo a millones con su promesa de salvaguardar la democracia y ser un antídoto contra la regresión política y social de México. Hoy la distancia entre aquella esperanza y la realidad es insalvable. AMLO ha erosionado, con palabras y hechos, la institucionalidad deficitaria, reemplazándola con un ejercicio de gobierno centrado sólo en él, rodeado de verde olivo. Por improvisación, por prisa, y por mala administración, heredará bombas de tiempo a su sucesora.

When #BlackLivesMatter emerged in 2013, it animated the most consequential Black-led mobilization since the civil rights and Black power era. Today, the hashtag turned rallying cry is but one expression of a radical reorientation toward Black politics, protest, and political thought. To Build a Black Future examines the spirit and significance of this insurgency, offering a revelatory account of a new political culture—responsive to pain, suffused with joy, and premised on care—emergent from the centuries-long arc of Black rebellion, a tradition that traces back to the Black slave.

Siamo nel pieno di quella che papa Francesco ha definito una catastrofe educativa: molti adulti si sentono sperduti, impreparati, quasi impotenti di fronte alle nuove generazioni e i giovani si trovano senza punti di riferimento sicuri. In un mondo che cambia con rapidità, è più che mai necessario ripensare il difficile compito di educare. Ripercorrendo quanto scritto negli ultimi trent'anni, mescolando ricordi personali e pubbliche riflessioni, Paolo Crepet offre il frutto della sua lunga esperienza, delineando quello che in molti hanno definito «il metodo Crepet».

Reason and Politics: The Nature of Political Phenomena examines the central phenomena of political life in order to clarify their meaning, source, and range. Mark Blitz gives particular attention to the notions of freedom, rights, justice, virtue, power, property, nationalism, and the common good.

Vivimos en una época en la que los sentimientos prevalecen sobre la razón. El poder de las instituciones públicas, combinado con las masas de acoso, las redes sociales y los medios de comunicación conquista las mentes de los pueblos occidentales. El resultado es una sociedad dócil guiada por la desinformación y los dogmas impuestos, apenas cuestionados, como la igualdad, el cambio climático, el racismo, el intervencionismo estatal o el feminismo radical, siempre vigilados por el "Ojo que todo lo ve".

In his widely acclaimed volume Our Undemocratic Constitution, Sanford Levinson boldly argued that our Constitution should not be treated with "sanctimonious reverence," but as a badly flawed document deserving revision. Now Levinson takes us deeper, asking what were the original assumptions underlying our institutions, and whether we accept those assumptions 225 years later.

Based on extensive research with organizations and companies that are boldly breaking out of business as usual, Beloved Economies offer listeners an imagination-expanding vision of what work could be. Authors Rimington and Cea explore possibilities for how we work, learning with more than sixty people from a wide array of enterprises. What these groups have in common is that they are generating forms of success that audaciously prioritize well-being, meaning, connection and resilience—alongside conventional metrics like quality and financial success.

No major arena of US governance is more elitist than foreign policy. International relations barely surface in election campaigns, and policymakers take little input from Congress. For much of the twentieth century, officials, activists, and academics worked to foster an informed public that would embrace participation in foreign policy as a civic duty. Every Citizen a Statesman recounts an abandoned effort to create a democratic foreign policy.

El empresariado inconsciente es un análisis profundo del pensamiento de la élite económica que ofrece información tan interesante como sorprendente sobre las posturas, preocupaciones e inquietudes de los dueños del dinero.

If people, communities, or even nations lose their memory, they lose their character. That is why cultures throughout the world work at maintaining their identity and passing traditions along to future generations. But what if a nation purposely decides it no longer wants to remember its history? What if a country imposes amnesia on itself? Helen Krieble argues persuasively that this is precisely what has happened to America. It has lost the memory of its own founding principles, and the sacrifices made over the past 250 years to preserve them.

In Here We Go Again, you will be challenged to realize that much of what you have been conditioned to believe, might be at odds with Scripture.

An analysis of The Second Amendment as it has evolved since the Ratification of The Bill of Rights and its impact on American Society.

Our American democracy is not broken. Our two-party political system and constitutional government are working, though perhaps not at their best. In recent years, we have experienced the storming of the Capitol, the rise of demagogues (such as Donald Trump and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez), and the polarization into Red and Blue States. Unfortunately, we seem to be at a low point, a possible breaking point.
