Liberalism at the Crossroads offers succinct, accessible, and
well-written surveys of the ideas of the leading participants in
the contemporary philosophical debate about liberalism. Christopher
Wolfe brings together analyses of leading liberal thinkers from
across the spectrum as well as influential critics of liberalism,
including John Rawls, Ronald Dworkin, Robert Nozick, Michael
Sandel, Richard Rorty, Joseph Raz, and William Galston. For the
second edition, each chapter has been thoroughly revised, and new
chapters on Susan Moller Okin, Richard Posner, and John Finnis have
been added to include representatives of liberal feminism, law and
economics, and natural law. The result is an invaluable overview of
contemporary political theory, ideal for both students and
scholars.
In Notes From The Chalkboard: Teacher Tales From The Mountains Of
North Carolina, I have attempted to capture the essence of North
Carolina mountain teachers and administrators. It is a tragedy for
people to live to be eighty, ninety or even one hundred years old,
and when they die, to allow their wonderful experiences to die with
them. Oral history is rapidly dying across our nation. With the
explosion of instant communication, we have lost the art of passing
on everyday events of interest to future generations. There was a
time, not very long ago, when families would sit around the
fireplace and relate memories from days gone by. Regrettably, that
day is long in the past. Thus, the idea for this book was formed.
The purpose is to provide an avenue for common everyday folks, who
would most likely never be mentioned in history books, to relate
memories that are meaningful in their lives and allow these same
memories to be passed on through time.
A Matter of Conscience, is the story of a young man's journey
through the most turbulent years this country has ever experienced.
Growing up on the upper Cumberland River in south central Kentucky
in the mid nineteenth century, Martin, accepted slavery as a normal
part of life. Although the river was somewhat of a dividing line
between large Tennessee plantation farmers who owned slaves, and
Kentucky farmers who had no need for slaves on their small farms
across the river, arguments often ended in bloodshed as hot headed
men took the law into their own hands and spoke with a gun and a
knife. Martin, a man of peace, only wished to be left alone to
raise his growing family, but fate intervened and he was thrust
headlong into the bubbling brew that became know as the Civil War.
