Locke's two groundbreaking treatises regarding sound methods of governance are united in this complete edition. At the time these treatises were written, English politics had undergone decades of upheaval in the wake of the English Civil War. When Dutch monarch William of Orange ascended to the English throne in the Glorious Revolution of 1688, burning questions over the best form of governance for England were prominent in the intelligentsia of the era. It was a time when England grappled with its incremental transition from monarchy to early forms of democracy and right to vote, where dynastic monarchy and religious theory still held considerable power over the formation of the state. Lauded as a classic of political philosophy, the treatises by Locke are a common requirement in various educational courses concerning political science and philosophy to this day.

We Americans are engaged in an ideological struggle to decide whether we will remain a nation committed to the principles of individual freedom and self reliance or be transformed into an European style of socialism. Westin believes too many Americans are either to busy or disinterested to take the time to study the issues and gather the information needed to make intelligent decisions. Instead they allow themselves to be influenced by the diatribe spewed by late night talk show hosts, TV and radio political pundits, biased politicians and other celebrities. Don't be fooled by the small size of I'm Not a Celebrity. It provides a mini encyclopedia of information behind the most important headline issues confronting our nation. It is packed between autobiographic bookends establishing Westin's credibility as a senior citizen and presenting his example of what it takes to achieve the American Dream. Westin reminds us that history teaches that the decline of free democratic societies begins with the deterioration of social morality. If America is to remain the leader of the free world, each of us, regardless of political, racial, ethnic or religious affiliation, must take it upon ourselves to live moral lives and challenge those who turn their backs on common decency. If we don't, the freedoms we have enjoyed will be lost. He hopes that by reading I'm Not a Celebrity, you will be moved to action.

This edition of the Kasi Diaries draws upon the insightful entries detailing the events of the Second World War on a daily basis, and aims to be a contemporaneous view of the genesis, development and end of the war. The Diaries display a keen and observant mind, and shows the writer to be a fascinating narrator of events,with an easy style of writing and an excellent sense of humour. Almost to the day when Germany capitulated in May 1945, Kasi wrote in his Diary, "I have lived through this eventful period of the world's history - Thank God!" "What I found most fascinating about his jottings are events leading to World War II, the rise of fascism in Germany, Italy, Spain, and Japan,and their initial victories ending in ignominious defeats. I felt like I was watching a news-reel film." - Khushwant Singh.

Homi Bhabha: An Introduction and Critique is a pathbreaking three-volume study of the famous postcolonial scholar's work. McLaverty-Robinson's treatment translates Bhabha's almost impenetrable prose into plain English, without losing its meaning. It also explains the backgrounf assumptions and references lurking behind Bhabha's theoretical concepts. In addition, McLaverty-Robinson's incisive critique cuts through the aura surrounding critical theory, exploring whether Bhabha's ideas work in practice - either empirically or politically. This first volume explores Bhabha's views on philosophy and culture. It includes chapters explaining his social constructivist assumptions, and exploring his interpretations of art and literature.

America: The Final Chapter provides a comprehensive examination of each American presidency from George Washington to Barack Obama while explaining how America evolved from a Republic to the Socialist crisis we face today.

Jessi Winchester, a politician who ran for the U.S. House of Representatives and the office of Nevada's Lieutenant Governor, believes that studying and learning from the past will help America and its leaders make wise decisions in the present day. She takes others full circle beginning with the nation's fight for independence from English oppression and ending with the tyranny America currently faces in its struggle to reclaim lost liberties and gain freedom from our own oppressive government. While examining our nation's journey through two centuries of problematic and deceptive government at all levels, Winchester speculates on the future of the United States.

Recent events and varying philosophies have divided our nation and, as a result, America faces an uncertain time not seen since Abraham Lincoln's administration. America: The Final Chapter helps shed light on how the United States overcame past challenges while encouraging citizens to stand strong for the principles that made this nation great in the first place.

This classic of Christian autobiography John Bunyan is timeless in its wisdom, wherein the author wrestles with his convictions of belief in the divine. For centuries a leading source on the Puritanical movement and its adherents, Grace Abounding to the Chief of Sinners remains a regularly consulted text by theologians, religious historians and the general reader. The title itself is a composite reference to two famous Biblical passages: Romans 5:20 and Timothy 1:15. As well as discussing the process through which he found his Christian faith, Bunyan is forthright about the personal struggles he had with belief. Hardship was a reality for Bunyan, who drafted this book while incarcerated for preaching without a proper license. For Bunyan the possibility of salvation by the Lord was a constant preoccupation, and a motivation for authoring multiple works on faith and leading the life he led.

Some dialogues of Plato are of so various a character that their relation to the other dialogues cannot be determined with any degree of certainty. The Theaetetus, like the Parmenides, has points of similarity both with his earlier and his later writings. The perfection of style, the humour, the dramatic interest, the complexity of structure, the fertility of illustration, the shifting of the points of view, are characteristic of his best period of authorship. The vain search, the negative conclusion, the figure of the midwives, the constant profession of ignorance on the part of Socrates, also bear the stamp of the early dialogues, in which the original Socrates is not yet Platonized. Had we no other indications, we should be disposed to range the Theaetetus with the Apology and the Phaedrus, and perhaps even with the Protagoras and the Laches. But when we pass from the style to an examination of the subject, we trace a connection with the later rather than with the earlier dialogues.

You already know that logistics is hard, it should not be, but it just is. The key components to supply and movement consist of receive, store, issue, and move. It should be that simple. Bottom line: it just is not that simple. There are too many moveable parts where the synergy of the operation could provide a scenario where the combined requirements needed to sustain a theater are greater than the sum of their individual effects or capabilities. . This book outlines some of these logistical components and their doctrinal relationship to the operation, as well as provides some new ideas. . The chapters are formatted in a fashion that offer the reader the doctrinal concept that the operation or function is based on, and then presents new theories on how to better execute the logistical function or capability as it relates to the operation. . The goal is to discuss those hard logistical topics and their conception to improve the general knowledge and understanding on "why it happens," and "how we can improve the outcome."

When Hurricane Katrina, the worst natural disaster in the history of the United States, hit the Gulf Coast on August 29, 2005, few people could believe the horror and destruction that would unfold in the days that followed. As Communications Director for the City of New Orleans, Sally Forman went to work two days before the storm approached with no indication that she or the city were in harm's way. But within 72 hours, hurricane force winds were shattering windows throughout the downtown hotel where she had bunkered down with other members of the City Hall Executive Staff. The next ten days, chronicled here, became an unforgettable time in our nation's history. With almost 2,000 deaths, destruction covering four states and a million and a half people needing shelter, the world responded quickly and fiercely. Over 75 countries and 80 percent of Americans contributed to the relief of hurricane survivors and aid workers. Throughout the world, Katrina raised questions of humanity and exposed the vulnerabilities we still face as a nation. Through this personal and historical journal, Forman offers an insider's view of life in a disaster zone where communications and resources were practically non-existent. She also examines her own role and the role of other officials as wide-ranging disaster struck a major American city.

Each WORD from God is like an acorn fallen from the oak tree. An acorn doesn't look like much, little and hard crusted However, within this acorn lies all the DNA to become a mighty tree. In this creative endeavor, I have compiled 40 words which I feel have the power to challenge, affirm, and strengthen every seeker who is willing to travel this journey. These words are not to be read from beginning to end like any other book. Rather prayerfully ask God for which WORD you NEED. And when guided to that word, let it soak into your heart. Let it breathe within you. Live with it for awhile. I spent a whole season of Lent with the word GLORY, or a summer with the word TRUST. This resource has helped me to "crawl into the acorn" and really dwell with the word. Inside, I found a sacred place where my spirit would find quiet rest and adventure. When all else around me was confused and agitated ... here I would find peace ... and like the acorn ... I grew May these words bring you ever closer to the ONE who created you and desires for you more than you could ever imagine In reading the introduction to this wonderful book, I was visibly moved by the words I was reading. There is a power and a peace in opening a page of Patti's book and letting it take the reader into a quiet place. "Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest." (Mk.6:31) This is a book that is like a well of spiritual refreshment ready for you to dive into its soothing depths at any reading. Tom Peterson Executive Director ACTS Missions San Antonio, Tx
