Review This Product

Some of the finest, most sensible thinking on the planet.

Tue, 23 Aug 2022 | Review by: Lindsay R.

Roger Scruton is the voice of reason, wisdom and common sense. Uncompromisingly conservative, humorous, incisive, his thoughts on life in these times are penetrating and more intelligent than anybody else. This book contains his more easily accessible writings and quite simply, if you have a need for a deeper worldview, this is the man.
