ISBN: 9780271048901 / Angielski / Miękka / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Few topics generate as much heated public debate in the United States today as immigration across our southern border. Two positions have been staked out, one favoring the expansion of guest-worker programs and focusing on the economic benefits of immigration, and the other proposing greater physical and other barriers to entry and focusing more on the perceived threat to national security from immigration. Both sides of this debate, however, rely in their arguments on preconceived notions and unexamined assumptions about assimilation, national identity, economic participation, legality,...

ISBN: 9780983877011 / Angielski / Miękka / 152 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Liberty should be the great aim of government. So thought Thomas Jefferson.

To be sure, America remains the beacon of freedom for a liberty-less world but, as Derrick G. Jeter argues in this provocative and challenging pamphlet, Americans today are less free than were our forefathers. Derrick contends that America is at a crossroads. Will we return to the ideas of our Founders, who...

I have come to believe that our Modern American Wilderness consists no longer of trees and grass, beavers and bears, but now is comprised of a multifaceted assembly of human organizations intent upon "improving" things for us in our culture. One must no longer be as concerned with wolves, bears, or cougars. Now we must be exceptionally wary of the actions and intentions of those institutions ostensibly organized to "protect us from the charlatans among us." It is my view that these agencies have institutionalized charlatanism to an extent unprecedented in human history, and have themselves...
