Trapped by Political Desire
Author: Matt Erickson
Publisher: Patriot Corps
ISBN: 1649996217
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 342
Book Description
After decades of failing to reach his fellow conservatives, it was time for Will Hartline to try something radical enough to get noticed. So, he decided to advance a plan that appeared highly favorable to his political adversaries—the men and women who supported Big Government. His Political Year Strategy was brilliantly simple—it merely called for Congress to change Election Day to February 29th. Once the election date changed, then “Year’ (as it related to elections and elected federal terms) could become the interval of time until the designated day used for elections again showed up on the calendar. Suddenly, it would appear that Presidents could serve four “Political Years”—16 calendar years—while Representatives could serve two political years (8 calendar years) and Senators six political years (24 calendar years). But, as his political adversaries sought implement his strategy—so they could extend their political terms four-fold—they wouldn’t notice that were simultaneously building Will the name recognition and political platform he had never been able to build himself. And, once he found his political voice, he would spring his trap, that he had baited with the promise of extended political terms. In other words, Will’s Political Year Strategy would advance Big Government so far, it would ultimately expose to the bright light of day the underlying fallacy of 200 years of the Supreme Court reinterpretation. Read Trapped by Political Desire: The Treatise and learn how to throw off two centuries of federal oppression, so we may finally restore our American Republic, Once and For All and Happily-Ever-After.

Book Description
Lord and Lady Lassiter are young, minted and living the high life in the Bohemian artistic circles of London. It’s Christmas, 1893, and the excitement of a new millennium is already gathering pace. New opportunities! New ways of living! An end to stuffiness and convention! But society and business are still controlled by the old guard. Where there is money, there is power. And where there is both, there must be corruption. Lord Lassiter chooses the wrong friends and he quickly finds himself ensnared in a criminal gang within the sophisticated world of art fakes and forgeries. He begs his father-in-law, Lord Calaway, for help to get him out. Theodore agrees, but no sooner than they begin their investigation, the main player is killed. Now they’re all involved but this is a far more dangerous world than anything Theodore has known before. He needs all his wits about him. Adelia, Lady Calaway, is at his side but they’ve made powerful enemies who will stop at nothing to keep control of their secrets. Will he have to choose between justice – and his family’s safety? This is the fifth book in the series called The Discreet Investigations of Lord and Lady Calaway.

The Rules Do Not Apply
Author: Ariel Levy
Publisher: Hachette UK
ISBN: 0349005311
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 166
Book Description
'Every deep feeling a human is capable of will be shaken loose by this short, but profound book' David Sedaris 'I wanted what we all want: everything. We want a mate who feels like family and a lover who is exotic, surprising. We want to be youthful adventurers and middle-aged mothers. We want intimacy and autonomy, safety and stimulation, reassurance and novelty, coziness and thrills. But we can't have it all.' Ariel Levy picks you up and hurls you through the story of how she lived believing that conventional rules no longer applied - that marriage doesn't have to mean monogamy, that aging doesn't have to mean infertility, that she could be 'the kind of woman who is free to do whatever she chooses'. But all of her assumptions about what she can control are undone after a string of overwhelming losses. 'I thought I had harnessed the power of my own strength and greed and love in a life that could contain it. But it has exploded.' Levy's own story of resilience becomes an unforgettable portrait of the shifting forces in our culture, of what has changed - and what never can.

ISBN: 1317890728
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 273
Book Description
Access scaffolding is the most important element of plant for building, civil engineering and structural engineering contractors. In fact a building or structure cannot be constructed to a height of more than two metres without platforms to work from.

Access Scaffolding brings together for the first time all the elements of scaffolding, providing a comprehensive and unique guide to the best practice in scaffolding, its engineering properties and the hazards involved. The book covers the very wide varieties of structure which have to be built and used in practice, including suspended and completed structures. Diagrammatic details of the commonest types are featured. Access Scaffolding is a unique and indispensible handbook on the subject for contractor's field and design staff, safety inspectors of statutory bodies, and structural, civil and building consulting engineers. It is also a useful resource for students of structural and civil engineering and building degree courses.

Do As I Say (Not As I Do)
Author: Peter Schweizer
Publisher: Anchor
ISBN: 0767919025
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 274
Book Description
“I don’t own a single share of stock.” —Michael Moore Members of the liberal left exude an air of moral certitude. They pride themselves on being selflessly committed to the highest ideals and seem particularly confident of the purity of their motives and the evil nature of their opponents. To correct economic and social injustice, liberals support a whole litany of policies and principles: progressive taxes, affirmative action, greater regulation of corporations, raising the inheritance tax, strict environmental regulations, children’s rights, consumer rights, and much, much more. But do they actually live by these beliefs? Peter Schweizer decided to investigate in depth the private lives of some prominent liberals: politicians like the Clintons, Nancy Pelosi, the Kennedys, and Ralph Nader; commentators like Michael Moore, Al Franken, Noam Chomsky, and Cornel West; entertainers and philanthropists like Barbra Streisand and George Soros. Using everything from real estate transactions, IRS records, court depositions, and their own public statements, he sought to examine whether they really live by the principles they so confidently advocate. What he found was a long list of glaring contradictions. Michael Moore denounces oil and defense contractors as war profiteers. He also claims to have no stock portfolio, yet he owns shares in Halliburton, Boeing, and Honeywell and does his postproduction film work in Canada to avoid paying union wages in the United States. Noam Chomsky opposes the very concept of private property and calls the Pentagon “the worst institution in human history,” yet he and his wife have made millions of dollars in contract work for the Department of Defense and own two luxurious homes. Barbra Streisand prides herself as an environmental activist, yet she owns shares in a notorious strip-mining company. Hillary Clinton supports the right of thirteen-year-old girls to have abortions without parental consent, yet she forbade thirteen-year-old Chelsea to pierce her ears and enrolled her in a school that would not distribute condoms to minors. Nancy Pelosi received the 2002 Cesar Chavez Award from the United Farm Workers, yet she and her husband own a Napa Valley vineyard that uses nonunion labor. Schweizer’s conclusion is simple: liberalism in the end forces its adherents to become hypocrites. They adopt one pose in public, but when it comes to what matters most in their own lives—their property, their privacy, and their children—they jettison their liberal principles and embrace conservative ones. Schweizer thus exposes the contradiction at the core of liberalism: if these ideas don’t work for the very individuals who promote them, how can they work for the rest of us?

Kevin Macdonald’s Metaphysical Failure: a Philosophical, Historical, and Moral Critique of Evolutionary Psychology, Sociobiology, and Identity Politics
Author: Jonas E. Alexis
Publisher: AuthorHouse
ISBN: 1665553820
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 616
Book Description
In Kevin MacDonald’s Metaphysical Failure, Jonas E. Alexis offers a thoroughly researched, nuanced and lucid analysis of Kevin MacDonald’s thought, in particular MacDonald’s belief in biological and philosophical Darwinism. It is an important book that fills a critical gap in the literature on the history of revolutionary movements and Darwinism both in the West and in Asia. It is also a study that adds many significant strands to the densely interwoven history of ideas such as Malthusianism and Eugenics. Alexis’s book engages debates in the history of ideas—going back to Madison Grant and beyond—and the history of Darwinism. It challenges many of the life-long prevailing assumptions about identity politics and produces a powerful critique of how “scientific” theories have been misused to uphold misguided and faulty categorizations. Powerfully reasoned, and backed with a startling array of documented studies, Kevin MacDonald’s Metaphysical Failure presents an in-depth look at key beliefs behind many mistaken and consequently destructive actions taken by numerous writers and thinkers, particularly Darwin’s ardent enthusiasts and devoted disciples. The book presents eye-opening insights into the historical development of Darwin’s ideological project and how that project ended up crippling Darwin’s intellectual children—from Richard Dawkins, Francis Crick, James Watson, Daniel Dennett, Ernst Mayr, and E. O. Wilson to Kevin MacDonald, Richard Spencer, David Duke, and Jared Taylor.

A Worldview of Everything
Author: Brian Cronin
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 1532660995
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 381
Book Description
Philosophy has sometimes been described as the discipline in which you can never be wrong, as the reserve of absentminded professors, aloof academics and purveyors of obscure ideas or interesting opinions. Quite the contrary. Philosophy answers the hard questions: Does everything happen by chance? Is there anything more than matter in the universe? Are humans in the same class as animals? Is there a God? Can we know the correct answer to these questions? The answers to these questions matter. We are all philosophers even though we are not aware of the fact. We each have a set of ultimate priorities and principles, answers to these questions, a big picture that determines our everyday thoughts, decisions, and actions. In this book Brian Cronin uses the ideas of Bernard Lonergan’s Insight: A Study of Human Understanding, to argue methodically towards a correct, critical, comprehensive worldview, an answer to those big questions which is the precise task of first philosophy. This book is an accessible and readable presentation of Lonergan’s metaphysics, a somewhat neglected topic. Science and philosophy are complementary. Scientists answer the concrete, detailed questions about everything around us: the parts. Philosophy integrates all these into a correct worldview of the whole: of everything.

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 425
Book Description
Two vicious ex-cons are now walking free—and one cop is close behind—in a novel by the author who “knows the London crime scene like the back of his hand” (The Times). In 2005 London, two teenage boys commit a crime so horrendous that the entire nation is shocked and outraged. When Abigail Riley’s body is found in an underground shelter, DS Fraser Harvey finds himself hunting her killers—whose depravity is matched only by their naivety. Eleven years later, when the young murderers are released to faraway countries with new identities, Harvey remains haunted by the case, convinced that one—or both—will kill again. Concerned that he is the only thing standing in the way of more deaths of innocents, he must decide how far will he go to stop them—and at what cost to himself and all the others whose lives were changed forever by Abigail’s terrible fate. Praise for the crime thrillers of Luke Delaney: “The feeling of being at the heart of a police investigation seeps from every page.” —Daily Mail “Scary authenticity.” —The Sun Addictive . . . captivates and chills.” —Richmond Times-Dispatch
