Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - THE FEDERALIST PAPERS were a series of newspaper articles published by Madison, Hamilton, and Jay to persuade the citizens of 1787 and 1788 to vote for the newly proposed Constitution upon which our American government is based. They were so well done that Thomas Jefferson called them 'The best commentary on the principles of government ever written.' Despite the passage of years, the founders' insights are as fresh as the latest headlines and deal with such topics as excessive legislation, arrogance in public officials, limitations of government, multiculturalism, taxation, and more. The problem for modern readers is THE PAPERS are long (about 600 pages) and sometimes difficult to understand. This is where THE FEDERALIST, EXCERPTS WITH COMMENTARY comes in. First published in 1994, it earned such comments as 'a delectable book' (R. Emmett Tyrrell, Jr., THE AMERICAN SPECTATOR) and 'I will keep this important work in my office' (Clarence Thomas, Supreme Court Justice).This new edition of THE FEDERALIST, EXCERPTS WITH COMMENTARY brings you the best quotes from that 'best commentary' along with short explanations of their importance in today's America. Ours is an age of constitutional crisis, not just the conflicts between Congress and President or between conservative and liberal, but a crisis of understanding the basic principles and objectives of American government. Reading THE FEDERALIST can help deal with that crisis. In the words of Mark Brunelle in THE OREGON OBSERVER, 'This short book is a must read . . worth its weight in gold! . . . (A) timely work . . . a masterpiece!'.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Chronicle of the Lake is a story about mankind's interaction with nature and how it has changed through time. It starts with two modern scientists playing chess beneath a maple tree next to a lake. They speculate on how previous civilizations regarded the lake and forest and how they made use of the resources around them. Their conversation topics range from primitive hunter-gatherers to classical philosophers to medieval warlords to modern businessmen and developers. The scientists finally find themselves pulled into a legal struggle to determine how to manage development around the lake. They view it as more than a political matter, but rather a philosophical one about how best to live with nature, make proper use of resources, and be good stewards of creation and not wasters of it.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - It wasn't easy being a young boy in Price, Utah, during the tumultuous 1920s and 1930s, not with the name of Shirley Edwin and a birthday on April Fool's Day, not when your best friends were immigrants and the KKK hated them and you, and not when one disaster after another tore at your family and town. Read how little Eddie dealt with the challenges of his early exposure to the realities of death, political conflict, labor strife, and ethnic prejudice. His experiences with family and friends taught him the importance of love, faith, honesty, and acting promptly on impulses to do good. The result is a heart-warming story of love, loyalty, and learning. Growing Up Tough takes place in a town still in transition between the old west and the modern world. We are in a similar period of transition, and the lessons learned then can be applied to our time, dealing with personal character and relationships, assimilating immigrants, and reconciling political and cultural differences between people.…
