Political Collection

After more than 2,300 years, the Greek philosopher Aristotle still remains one of the most influential thinkers who has ever lived. There was hardly any field of human knowledge in existence during his day in which he did not make a major contribution. Additionally, he probed areas which were never before examined. Indeed, one could make the claim that no individual person has ever known as much about this world as Aristotle. His analyses of zoology and logic paved the way for modern forensic techniques, and for which every scientist down to this day owes him a debt of gratitude.

The Three Sources and Three Component Parts of Marxism, by Lenin, is a concise article that examines the historical roots, essence, and content of Marxist teaching. Lenin wrote it on the 30th anniversary of the death of Karl Marx. Soviet propaganda makers lifted a key quote from the article to use as a slogan for posters, inscriptions on monuments, or other propaganda purposes. The phrase was: "The might of Marx's teaching is in its truth."

Politics is the second half of a single treatise by Aristotle (384 B.C.E - 322 B.C.E.), Ethics being the first. Both deal with one and the same subject: what Aristotle calls the philosophy of human affairs. He also refers to it as political science and social science. Aristotle collected and studied the constitutions of over 150 city states before writing his Politics.

The Conservative Collection reinforces fundamental holdings of the Right. A strong, free, and thriving America requires us to value our founding principles and apply them in a modern world. Yet constant assaults on the very philosophies that birthed American exceptionalism jeopardize our sustained superiority. It therefore falls upon conservatives to reenergize, inform, and strengthen the citizenry with the truths and successes stemming from conservatism. We need a strong America, one which will continue to be the home of liberty and prosperity.

"Política e religião sempre andaram juntas: na Pré-história, na Antiguidade, desde sempre e até hoje, mesmo que sob formas não tão evidentes." "O cotidiano saturado de políticas permeadas pelas guerras culturais tem vocação beligerante contínua." "Seja lá o que for a ‘verdade’, ela nunca interessou à democracia na construção cotidiana do poder." "O homem comum não se preocupa muito com liberdade de expressão e troca facilmente qualquer regime por uma janta melhor. É um fetiche achar que o homem comum ama a democracia."

Abbey Mei Otis's short stories are contemporary fiction at its strongest: taking apart the supposed equality that is clearly just not there, putting humans under an alien microscope, putting humans under government control, and more. Otis has long been fascinated in using strange situations to explore dynamics of power, oppression, and grief, and the 12 stories collected here are at once a striking indictment of the present and a powerful warning about the future.

Award-winning journalist J. Malcolm Garcia's essays highlight the struggle, survival, and endurance of average people affected by the injustices of America's remorseless mammoth institutions and public indifference. They include families and small businesses still recovering from the BP oil spill; the man sentenced to life in prison for transporting drugs to save his son's life; the widows of soldiers who died, not in war, but from toxic fumes at their bases; and the Iraqi interpreter who was promised American asylum, only to arrive and be forced to live in poverty.

Did you know that, as of 2013, it is illegal to unlock your smartphone in the United States? Not only is it illegal, you may be fined up to $500,000 and/or be imprisoned for up five years. Crazy? Maybe. I stumbled across this unique (AKA crazy) law while reading a newspaper article. I have since found that there are hundreds of laws like this one, not just in the United States but all over the world.

The Cow Revolution is a collection of stories that contains philosophical and political reflections.

Not only are we "taxed" without "real" representation, we are "surveilled," and "monitored" without probable cause, in direct violation of the Bill of Rights. King George could only dream of possessing the power that our current leaders have over us today, all in the name of "patriotism," and the prevention of "terrorism."

Eight core titles for lawyers and the rest of us: Bill of Rights and Constitution, on which the law is based; Criminal Procedure and Federal Rules of Evidence Simplified; Legal Survival Kit and Legal Proceedings; and 1100 Legal Words; How to Hire a Lawyer, especially in Divorce matters.

Donald Trump does not want you to listen to his (totally unauthorized and fictional) diary and learn about his "secret identity". We see a narcissist. But he sees a ninja. Trump Ninja.

This is an itemized collection of material detailing The life of Donald Trump, the 45th President of The United States of America, and what he accomplished before and during his life as President. This audiobook primarily focuses on facts and is not an opinionated story.

Nona Fernández plasma sus propios recuerdos, sus propias vivencias y las de sus contemporáneos, su punto de vista, un pensamiento y reflexión que expresa una mirada particular del mundo en que vivió y en el que hoy, pasados varios años y distintos gobiernos, parece seguir inmóvil y anestesiado ante los abusos cometidos. Recuperar nuestra conciencia sobre el pasado próximo es una tarea que autores como Nona Fernández utilizan a modo de una resistencia ética y política en su espacio de la literatura y el teatro.

La mondialisation, ce terme aujourd'hui à la mode, n'est pas un phénomène récent. Elle résulte de l'européanisation du monde, c'est-à-dire de l'expansion des nations européennes dans leur mouvement de conquête. L'auteur se propose à la fois de démystifier ce phénomène fondateur de la modernité occidentale, en montrant qu'il n'est porteur d'aucun sens de l'histoire, et d'en étudier les enjeux les plus actuels.
