The Conservatives – A History $12.49 The history of the Conservative party has, extraordinarily, rarely been written in a single volume for the general reader. There are academic multi-volume accounts and a multitude of smaller books with limited historical scope. But now, Robin Harris, Margaret Thatcher’s speechwriter and party insider, has produced this authoritative but lively history book which tells the whole story and fills a gaping hole in Britain’s historiographical record. Taking as his starting point the larger than life personalities of the Conservative Party’s leaders and prime ministers since its inception, Robin Harris’s book also analyses the interconnected themes and issues which have dominated Conservative politics over the years. The careers of Peel, Disraeli, Salisbury, Baldwin, Chamberlain, Churchill, Eden, Macmillan, Heath, Thatcher, Major, Hague and Cameron together amount to an alternative history of Britain since the early nineteenth century. This landmark book is essential reading for anyone with an interest in history or politics, or anyone who has ever wondered how Britain came to be the nation it is today.

Rules for Radical Conservatives $13.99 Are you a frustrated conservative shocked by the bunch of far Left fanatics driving the bus—and our future—off a cliff? It’s time to fight back with the same ruthlessness that has served the radicals so well—not just now, but for the long term. And who better to reveal their strategies—and their fatal weaknesses—than one of their own? Playing on his all-too-typical hubris and good old greed, we’ve recruited well-known liberal apparatchik David Kahane to lead conservatives out of the political wilderness, whether he means to or not. Is he arrogant and obnoxious? Absolutely. Does he deliver the goods? You betcha. We’ll let Dave speak for himself:   Please allow me to introduce myself. . . . My name is David and I’m going to share some secrets. I’m going to take you into the smoke-free back rooms of today’s progressive political machine to reveal how it really operates—and how you can bring it down. I’ll lay out the rules we radicals have used to run circles around you, and clue you in on how to make them work for you, too. How do I know this stuff? As the son of the sainted “Che” Kahane, I’ve been schooled in the art of seizing and holding political power as we transform America one antiquated tradition and constitutional clause at a time. Now I work in Hollywood, where I’ve perfected the game pioneered by such pros as Machiavelli, Saul Alinsky, and Al Capone, father of the immortal Chicago Way. Read on and learn from our time-tested techniques:   • Know your enemy, his intentions, his weapons, and his weaknesses. You too can play relentless, on-message hardball with every scandal, hypocrisy, lie, and fundamentally flawed policy your adversaries dish up. • Become what you behold. Adopt some of our scorched-earth tactics, best described in David Mamet’s Untouchables: “They pull a knife, you pull a gun . ” • Take no prisoners. Attack our premises, expose their true nature and consequences, and pin them on us, hard. • Never cede anything to the other side, philosophically speaking. Force the Left to argue facts, not emotions. We hate that. • Treat us with the same respect we give you . None. • It is better to be feared than liked, especially by your enemies. And it helps to show up for the fight. (Note to past and future Republican candidates.)   Why am I telling you all this? Because I thrive on making trouble and, frankly, because I’m proud of what my team has done. Between us, I don’t think it matters if I turn over our playbook to you at this late date. I don’t think you can get it together to stop us now. Plus, I got a lot of money. Happy reading, America! You think you can take us down? Go for it. I dare you. From the Hardcover edition.

Books $10.99 In a prolific life of singular literary achievement, Larry McMurtry has succeeded in a variety of genres: in coming-of-age novels like The Last Picture Show ; in collections of essays like In a Narrow Grave ; and in the reinvention of the Western on a grand scale in his Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, Lonesome Dove . Now, in Books: A Memoir , McMurtry writes about his endless passion for books: as a boy growing up in a largely “bookless” world; as a young man devouring the vastness of literature with astonishing energy; as a fledgling writer and family man; and above all, as one of America’s most prominent bookmen. He takes us on his journey to becoming an astute, adventurous book scout and collector who would eventually open stores of rare and collectible editions in Georgetown, Houston, and finally, in his previously “bookless” hometown of Archer City, Texas. In this work of extraordinary charm, grace, and good humor, McMurtry recounts his life as both a reader and a writer, how the countless books he has read worked to form his literary tastes, while giving us a lively look at the eccentrics who collect, sell, or simply lust after rare volumes. Books: A Memoir is like the best kind of diary — full of McMurtry’s wonderful anecdotes, amazing characters, engaging gossip, and shrewd observations about authors, book people, literature, and the author himself. At once chatty, revealing, and deeply satisfying, Books is, like McMurtry, erudite, life loving, and filled with excellent stories. It is a book to be savored and enjoyed again and again.

Practical, funny, and thought-provoking, How to Talk About Books You Haven’t Read-which became a favorite of readers everywhere in the hardcover edition-is in the end a love letter to books, offering a whole new perspective on how we read and absorb them.

Alternative Alices $31.66 Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland (1865) and Through the Looking-Glass (1871) are among the most enduringly influential works in the English language. In the decades following their publication, male and female writers on both sides of the Atlantic, radicals as well as conservatives, producer no fewer than 200 imitations, revisions, and parodies of Carroll’s fantasies for children. In this delightful anthology, Carolyn Sigler gathers twenty of the most interesting and original of these responses to the Alice books, many of them long out of print.Produced between 1869 and 1930 — the golden age of Carroll’s influence on popular literature — these works trace the extraordinarily creative, and often critical, response of diverse writers. The authors of this period appropriated the structures, motifs, and themes of Carroll’s works to engage in larger cultural debates raised by the Alice books and their reception. The stories gathered here range from Christina Rosselti’s angry subversion of Alice’s adventures, Speaking Likenesses (1874), to G.E. Farrow’s witty fantasy adventure, The Wallypug of Why (1895), to Edward Hope’s hilarious parody of social and political foibles, Alice in the Delighted States (1928). Original illustrations add to the charm of the stories.Alternately satiric, enchanting, experimental, and subversive, these Alice. inspired works reveal how variously Carroll’s books were read, reinscribed, and resisted in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Anyone who has ever followed Alice down the rabbit hole will enjoy the adventures of her literary siblings in the wide Wonderland of the human imagination.

Rather than blaming the current Black condition totally on racism, Miller encourages Blacks to become motivated to do for themselves and stop asking someone else to provide for them. Blacks need to take pride in their true Black heritage and love their blackness. Miller hopes that this literary will jolt those Blacks who read it into some proactive thinking in order to better their situation.

Conservatism in America Since 1930 $25 View the Table of Contents .nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; Read the Introduction .

It is brutally honest about the movement’s current predicament. The American Conservative Liberals and conservatives alike should have no trouble endorsing this anthology from 70 years of the conservative movement in the United States. Library JournalWhile there have long been libertarians, agrarians, individualists, collectivists, nationalists, and others who fit the contemporary label of conservative, no cohesive conservative movement existed prior to World War II. How, then, did conservatism develop into such a powerful American political force?Tracing the history of conservatism from the concerns and ideas of the Old Right, through the Cold War, the Gingrich revolution, and into the present, Conservatism in America Since 1930gathers a wide range of conservative writings and documents showcasing the development and protean character of the modern conservative intellectual and political movement.The book includes essays from Russell Kirk, Milton Friedman, F.A.

Fair Not Flat: How to Make the Tax System Better and Simpler $12.74 Everyone knows that the current tax system is unfair. Some of the richest people in America pay no tax, perfectly legally, while heavy tax burdens fall on the rest of us. A mere glance at the tax code confirms that it is far too complex, with volumes of rules that no ordinary person could possibly comprehend. What is to be done? Some conservatives have called for a so-called flat tax. But a flat tax is not necessarily a simple tax, and in any event flat means more for most taxpayers: a rise in taxes on the middle class to finance tax cuts for the rich. What’s fair about that? Is there a better alternative? In clear, easy-to-understand language, Edward J. McCaffery offers a straightforward and fair proposal. A fair not flat tax that is consistent and progressive would tax spending, not work and savings. And if it were collected at its lower levels through a national sales tax, most people would not even have to file onerous tax returns. A supplemental tax on spending for the wealthiest individuals would make the national sales tax progressive. Under McCaffery’s system, the average family of four would pay no tax on their first $20,000 in spending, and 15 percent on the next $60,000 they spend-only the few families who spend more than $80,000 a year would be subject to the supplemental tax. Necessities would be taxed less than ordinary and luxury items. No one would be taxed directly when he or she saved. And as an added bonus, the estate and gift or so-called death tax would be abolished. Simpler, more efficient, fairer, and better reflective of America’s current social values, McCaffery’s fair not flat tax could help get us out of the tax mess that politicians andspecial interests have gotten us into, improving the whole country in the process. Read Fair Not Flat to find out how.

Poverty Knowledge: Social Science, Social Policy, & the Poor $64.91 Poverty Knowledge is the most important analysis of the evolution of poverty knowledge ever published. Alice O’Connor’s book is must reading for those who seek a comprehensive understanding of past and current social science writings on American poverty. Moreover, it provides a new vision that inextricably links the study of poverty to the broader study of political economy. This book will be discussed and debated for many years. –William Julius Wilson, Harvard University In this strongly argued, deeply researched, and very well-written book, Alice O’Connor lays bare the narrowness of social ’science’ concerning poverty in American life since the progressive era. Neither liberals nor conservatives escape her informed, tough-minded critique. –James T. Patterson, Brown University There is nothing like this superb history and assessment of systematic social science concerned with poverty. Written by a historian with uncommon vantages on policy ideas, the book powerfully situates what, and how, we know within the dynamics of ideology, power, and interest that have characterized twentieth-century American liberalism. Richly researched and arrestingly composed, it informs policy history as well as options for the future. –Ira Katznelson, Columbia Univeristy Poverty Knowledge is an insightful and incisive account of poverty research since the nineteenth century. Alice O’Connor’s disgust with the use of research to stigmatize the poor comes through powerfully and clearly. Critical history at its best, the book should also be read by sociologists, anthropologists, political scientists, economists, and welfare and antipoverty researchers–as well as teachers in thesefields. –Herbert J. Gans, Columbia University Alice O’Connor knows more about the social science literature on poverty than any other historian in America. No one has put the whole story together as she has. Her conclusions emerge as nuanced, sophisticated, and sound. Her book is also written wi

Reel Knockouts $26.33 Too violent? Too sexy? Too passive? Too tough? The first book-length treatment of violent women in the movies, Reel Knockouts aims to provoke engagement and launch debate. What do women want these days? Who wants violent women? How? Why? From Hong Kong to Hollywood, contributors track criminals and tail cops, scrutinizing the mixed messages proffered by noir, horror, action, activist, and even porn pix in light of contemporary concerns with violence and the representation of violence. Throughout, political passions prime interdisciplinary insights: beware the Jesse Helms of America! Violent women = unnatural power and/or unruly sex? HA! A ‘wanna’ read. –Christine Holmlund, Associate Professor of French, Film, and Women’s Studies and Head of Cinema Studies, University of Tennessee When Thelma and Louise outfought the men who had tormented them, women across America discovered what male fans of action movies have long known–the empowering rush of movie violence. Yet the duo’s escapades also provoked censure across a wide range of viewers, from conservatives who felt threatened by the up-ending of women’s traditional roles to feminists who saw the pair’s use of male-style violence as yet another instance of women’s co-option by the patriarchy. In the first book-length study of violent women in movies, Reel Knockouts makes feminist sense of violent women in films from Hollywood to Hong Kong, from top-grossing to direct-to-video, and from cop-action movies to X-rated skin flicks. Contributors from a variety of disciplines analyze violent women’s respective places in the history of cinema, in the lives of viewers, and in the feminist response to male violence against women. The essays inpart one, Genre Films, turn to film cycles in which violent women have routinely appeared. The essays in part two, New Bonds and New Communities, analyze movies singly or in pairs to determine how women’s movie brutality fosters solidarity amongst the characters or their audiences.

Rodeo Drive to Raja Bazaar $15.6 Natasha is ten years old when her parents take her back to Islamabad. Born and bred in Los Angeles, she is less than keen on the move. Slowly she assimilates, guided by a grandmother who is determined to transform her and discovering the customary traditions through funerals and weddings. When an early marriage presents the opportunity to move back to the land of her birth, however, Natasha jumps at it, only to be disappointed by the less than favorable treatment of Muslims she witnesses in post 9/11 America. Spanning a decade (1994-2004), Rodeo Drive to Raja Bazaar is a social and political portrait of contemporary Pakistan and its immigrant population in America. With its mixture of the rich, poor and middle classes, democracy interspersed with military rule, liberals facing off with conservatives, and increasing interplay of religion, the novel is at once humorous, thought-provoking, and an easy read for all ages.

Rushing to Armageddon: The Shocking Truth about Canada, Missile Defence, and Star Wars $6.59 Canadian nationalist Mel Hurtig exposes Paul Martin’s secret commitment to George W. Bush’s weaponizing of space. Mel Hurtig has five best-sellers to his credit but this is easily his most important book. Readers will be shocked to learn how both the American and Canadian governments are intentionally misleading their citizens about the Pentagon’s unprecedented plans to weaponize space; about the huge new Russian and Chinese nuclear missile buildup resulting from U.S. Star Wars plans; about the destruction of vitally important, long-standing arms control agreements; and about the rapidly increasing danger of a nuclear apocalypse. Among the topics covered are why the so-called U.S. missile defence system is really about establishing a U.S. first-strike-from-space capability; why both Paul Martin’s government and Stephen Harper’s Conservatives want to join in George W. Bush’s dangerous program; how numerous official U.S. documents reveal their plans to dominate space and place deadly lasers and nuclear weapons in space; how today’s nuclear weapons are up to 350 times more powerful than the bombs that devastated Hiroshima and Nagasaki; how the missile defence plans will mean the placement of missiles on Canadian soil making Canada much less secure. Hurtig provides remarkable and often devastating new information that will shock, anger, and appall readers. This is a book that every Canadian must read before Ottawa becomes an active partner in a tragic and potentially cataclysmic blunder.

Sentinels of Empire: The United States and Latin American Militarism $117.34 This hard-hitting critique of US policy toward Latin America includes a historical sketch of US relations with individual countries. Black argues persuasively that the US has been the major oppponent of needed reforms in Latin American countries and the major proponent of predatory military establishments. The unwavering US goal, she believes, has been preservation of the established US empire in Latin America, but she cites differing strategies to attain this goal used by conservatives (President Reagan) and liberals (President Carter). She sees a weakening of US hegemony, however, as pressures for reform become irresistable. . . . This book should be read by all who view US policy toward Latin America as benevolent. Choice

Surrounded by Idiots CD: Fighting Liberal Lunacy in America $0.39 In Surrounded by Idiots, Mike Gallagher, one of the top radio talk show hosts in America, takes us to the front lines of the unprecedented cultural and political war confronting all decent Americans. The 2004 election was a watershed moment in our nation’s history, and while it was shocking to the left to see so many red states on the electoral map, to conservatives it was just affirmation of what they’d known all along — conservatives are the mainstream, and liberals are the fringe. It is not a time to rest or take things for granted, Mike Gallagher argues. Not at all. Maintaining America’s role as the greatest nation in the world means we must stay the course, he writes, adding, Liberal idiocy surrounds us all. It threatens to destroy the values and lifestyles that millions of us cherish. The Left has targeted every value and standard, principle and idea, concept of God, family, honor, duty, country, and decency that we hold dear. As the nation battles for its very soul in this post 9/11 world, we have Mike Gallagher to help fight against the agenda-driven liberal lunatics. Surrounded by Idiots is an important — not to mention entertaining — look at where America is today and the possibility that the future of America will only get brighter. Foreword Written and read by Sean Hannity
