Education, Liberal Democracy and Populism: Arguments from Plato, Locke, Rousseau and Mill provides a lucid and critical guide shedding light on the continuing relevance of earlier thinkers to the debates between populists and liberals about the nature of education in democratic societies. The book discusses the relationship Rousseau and Plato posited between education and society, and contrasts their work with the development of liberal thinking about education from John Locke, and John Stuart Mill's arguments for the importance of education to representative democracy. It explores some of the roots of populism and offer a broader perspective from which to assess the questions which populists pose and the answers which liberals offer. The book makes a substantial contribution to the current debate about democracy, by emphasising the central importance of education to political thought and practice, and suggests that only an education system based on liberal democratic principles can offer the possibility of a genuinely free society. This book is ideal reading for researchers and post-graduate students in education, politics, philosophy and history. It will also be of great interest to Educational practitioners and policy makers.

The great stoic philosopher, playwright and Roman statesman of the first century, Lucius Annaeus Seneca, exercised enormous influence for nearly fifteen years as tutor and political advisor to the Emperor Nero until forced to commit suicide by his former pupil. In the hands of Annales School historian Paul Veyne, the dramatic story of his life - one of power, politics and intrigue - becomes a mirror of the time in which he lived.
Seneca's philosophical writings remain our core source for stoic thought, and their immense influence continues to be felt. Veyne's authoritative exposition of stoicism and the interconnections between Seneca's life and thought, make this book ideal reading for anyone interested in Roman history and philosophy. This compact and compelling book is a brilliant introduction to the life and philosophy of one of the ancient world's greatest thinkers by one of the great historians of our own time.

Judd Nelson and C. Thomas Howell star in this sci-fi drama directed by Brian T. Jaynes. When small-town sheriff Jim Taylor (Holt Boggs) suspects that the legend of the Sasquatch might not be a legend after all, he teams up with Mafioso Zeke (Howell) to hunt the creature that has baffled scientists for years. As they get closer to the truth the pair realise that they are not just hunting one animal but that they are up against an entire army.

Fukuyama's concept of the End of History has been one of the most widely debated theories of international politics since the end of the Cold War. This book discusses Fukuyama's claim that liberal democracy alone is able to satisfy the human aspiration for freedom and dignity, and explores the way in which his thinking is part of a philosophical tradition which includes Kant, Hegel and Marx. Two new chapters in this second edition discuss the ways in which Fukuyama's thinking has developed - they include his celebrated and controversial criticism of neoconservatism and his complex intellectual relationship to Samuel Huntington, whose Clash of Civilization thesis he rejects but whose notion of political decay is central to his more recent work. The authors here argue that Fukuyama's continuing fundamental contributions to debates concerning the spread of democracy and threat of global terror mark him out as one of the most important thinkers of the twenty-first century.

Additionally, the actions of the seventeen enlisted Marines who were awarded the Medal of Honor are also described (with their service records and citations). Casualty lists and prisoner information, as well as a section on "Rules and Regulations for the Governance of Marines," round out the history of the men who wore the hunting horn of the Corps for the four years of the conflict.

Native Americans have fought gallantly in every conflict since the War for Independence, mostly under the stars and stripes, but some under the stars and bars of the Confederacy. That said, the greatest contribution of Native Americans in wartime was their use as code talkers during World Wars I and II. This book chronicles the experiences of these men in both wars.

The Fallacy of God, A Religious Conspiracy: No one could study the Bible with an open mind and still believe that the scribble written inside was ever inspired by some loving entity. The Bible is filled with contradictions and superstitious beliefs of an angry, jealous, man-made controlling God. Only through blind faith, the act of unthinking, could anyone possibly believe that the immoral, unjustified, homicidal stories of a greedy Creator were not just fabrications and old mythological legends compiled into religious propaganda. Religious leaders grow fat with money while they preach of giving and not living for materialistic possessions. They are hypocritical pretenders to what they teach. We should all blindly follow and obey, for any one of us who doubts the existence of God will face His wrath of eternal Hellfire? Its basic dogma, of one true religion, breeds hatred between brothers and wars throughout our world, and we must live in fear of the coming Battle of Armageddon. Christianity is blasphemous to what Jesus believed, and the Shroud of Turin is a fraudulent sham, no one was ever resurrected from the dead. Some of the information presented in this book is from my anti-religious series including "Empirical Truth," and "Jesus Christ Revolutionary Mythology." If you want to know how rapacious the Bible truly is, you will want to read this book.

Bible Babble Bull (Second Edition) is a compilation of some of the most controversial topics expressed in my five book series on religion including Empirical Truth, and Bible Propaganda: there is also a new updated chapter on the Shroud of Turin. The Bible is an immoral book, and the act of following an immoral book by blind faith alone is an amoral act. We should not be teaching from an old superstitious book that which we do not really understand or know what is written within its pages. I have included many Bible Scriptures, including chapter and verse for you to read and or look up in any Bible. It is unfortunate that we, humankind believed in Biblical Mythology when the process of multi-copies became possible, as one large book makes people believe that it must be the truth; but the Bible is not a book about one God, most of its stories were taken form much earlier long forgotten and debunked past gods. Darwinism is cruel; survival of the fittest, yet with increasing knowledge, civilizations can evolve to have an ameliorate world; while the Bible is immoral, and by its very nature will always be immoral.

A hilarious parody for anyone who's going to college, been in college, thinking about college, or knows someone in college.

No matter what you think or believe in life, the mythology of Christianity revolutionized the entire world. Now, from the Author of "Empirical Truth" and the "Power of Light Vibrations" comes a new work called "Jesus Christ: Revolutionary Mythology." As a proud Pantheistic-Atheist, Christians are always telling me that because I am an Atheist I do not believe in anything, this is growing old. I inform them that because I am a freethinker that I believe in more things than they. In responding to their way of thinking it is they who do not believe in anything. There is no god, and the belief in Jesus Christ is the myth of celestial bodies and the legend of a man who may or may not have existed. It is a shame that the world has been placed into mayhem by the mythological sayings of Paul, the true founder of Christianity, a megalomaniac who fooled so many into believing that he was following the teachings of Jesus Christ. Was there a connection between Jesus' Birthday and 9/11? This book is about finding out the truth. Who was Jesus Christ? Many Christian's faith may be dismayed by the answers.

While there are thousands of books about leadership, and while most of them are excellent reads, there are very few - if any - that can show you, with real reliability, how to improve your own leadership performance. This is that rare book. We spent years researching leaders around the world to understand why the best are the best. Along the way, we discovered something amazing: why leaders fail. Leaders fail not because they're bad people, or because they lack the personality traits that make for good leadership. They fail because they have a philosophy of leadership that sets them up to fail. If you understand your own philosophy of leadership and make changes where they are needed, you will improve your leadership performance. It's that simple, and the science is right here.

The Bible is the largest book of war ever compiled; it should be called God's Evil Word. "Bible Propaganda II" is based on how the act of blindly following the Word of God invites charlatans to take advantages of others who would follow them credulously down a path of deception. Unlike the first part, "Bible Propaganda," this book only examined scriptures in the first four chapters. The greater part of this book "The War on Earth, from Satan's Eyes" is a sci-fi loosely based around the Battle of Armageddon, as Michael leads Yahweh's vast armies against any and all who would not bow down to tyranny. A terrorist group takes over the Mosque demanding that the Holy Temple be rebuilt: they are in control of seven nuclear bombs. This escalates into WWIII, which then turns into the Battle of Armageddon. The bottom-line is that in presenting this fictional story from a different point of view, we can clearly see how ridiculous the religious belief in blind faith, called Bible-Babble-Bull, truly is. Bible prophecy is nothing more than exciting Bible fantasy.

"Empirical Truth," "Pantheistic-Atheism." This book will show that the Bible is an immoral old book that we should not be brainwashing our children into believing, especially by blind-faith. That more evil has come about from the Bible than good. That humanity chose to live with ethics and morals long before we had religious rulings. That evolution is correct, and you will not be fooled by Intelligent Design Enforcers. You will expand your mind using science, philosophy, history, and abstract thinking in a journey from caveman to our modern society to free our minds from Bible-Babble-Bull. Then you will be introduced to the positive philosophy of "Empirical Truth." Including the healing "Powers of Light Vibrations," which can fill the void left inside of you, as you toss away all the fears that you lived with for so long from the emotional and disturbing propaganda of religion.

From the Author of the "Power of Light Vibrations" and "Empirical Truth, Pantheistic-Atheism" comes "Bible Propaganda: The War in Heaven from Satan's Eyes." You will learn how the Bible is a book of misinformation, and that God is a rapacious and avarice slave master, the "Bully of the Bible." This book was compiled from Bible Scripture, and the philosophy of "Empirical Truth" including an intriguing original, abstract fictional scenerio of the "War in Heaven" as told in part from Lucifer's point of view with a twist on how it was Satan, and not God who gave humankind freewill. And so God became enraged with insane jealousy punishing all who did not bow down to Him. This is what begot the "War in Heaven," with Satan and His Angels fighting a losing battle in defending our right to have freedom. I do not believe in Devils or Angels, this is another account of what I have coined "Bible-Babble-Bull."

This is an introduction to the new innovation of secular religion called "Pantheistic-Atheism." It is a way for us to live moral and ethical lives without a biblical God. A philosophy that all people can use to live together to make an ameliorated new world. We should not be trying to destroy ourselves in fulfilling some old superstitious biblical prophecy full of hatred and wars. Although this book includes a chapter on "Bible Propaganda," and additional information on why religion is fraudulent portraying God as the "Bully of the Bible." It is mainly about living successful positive lives. Therefore, it does not include sections on the superstitious immoral atrocities of the Bible, nor its true origin, the fact of Evolution versus Intelligent Design Enforcers, and many other subjects of "Bible-Babble-Bull" that are included in his anti-religious book called "Empirical Truth."

The "Power of Light Vibrations," years ago I was crippled in an accident; doctors told me that I would never walk. This book is the result of the research that helped me to overcome the odds and walk again. It is a new way to improve your health and situation using the positive energy that surrounds us. Similar books like this are missing a critical part; understanding and using the energy obtained in "Light Vibrations" is the essential key in making it work. It includes several charts, and sections on the "Law of Attraction," "Positive Thinking," "Words of Power," "Six Secrets of Success," "Seven Steps of Reality," and the "Eight Steps to Healthy and Motivational Living," including several other psychological teachings from my studies and collective works found in the philosophy of "Empirical Truth."
