ISBN: 9781502968012 / Angielski / Miękka / 52 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. We are entering into another round of elections and the rhetoric is heating up. I find it hard to watch political ads because more often than not, they are attacks on the other person. I do not find much substance being aired, only to say that this candidate would do the opposite of that one-which says nothing. This particular works embodies some on my thoughts as to the way we are going as a society, both good and bad. The hate-mongering is particularly bothersome, for we, are supposed to be a progressive society...thus the title.

ISBN: 9781503061804 / Angielski / Miękka / 52 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The situation in Egypt has tremendous implications for the region and for the United States. Our response and our policy must be carefully calibrated to press for the Democratic reforms that have been demanded by the Egyptian people and at the same time support United States national security interests in the region. These two goals require a complex policy response that allows us to advocate for much-needed democratic reforms, while also ensuring our own security needs. Terminating United States assistance at this time could provoke a further crisis in Egypt that would not be to our benefit....

Give America a Chance; The Rants and Raves of an American Patriot
ISBN: 9780990491903 / Angielski / Miękka / 214 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Give America a Chance: The Rants and Raves of an American Patriot is not your typical "support your country" book. In one sentence, this is a journal of my attempts to spend one year purchasing American made products while, at the same time, encouraging you to do the same. It's a whole lot more than that, though. A lot of things can happen in one year. And a lot of things did... This book will prove to you that Americans are hard workers and Americans actually do manufacture quite a bit of things right here at home.

Does the Bible Have a Vote in Modern Decision Making?
ISBN: 9781503144026 / Angielski / Miękka / 24 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In today's strategic leadership environment, rarely is the Bible considered as a resource to provide insights for leaders to make effective decisions that can be used to craft policy and strategy. Can the Bible provide relevant guidance today among the national leadership who have a propensity to adopt a more secular and humanistic approach in making strategic decisions? This paper examines the strategic decisions, actions and policies of some notable current U.S. historical events to determine if Biblical principles have any correlation to their decision-making process and outcomes.

The Perfect Storm: The Religious Apocalyptic Imagination and Personal Disaster Preparedness
ISBN: 9781503145795 / Angielski / Miękka / 94 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. An assumption underpinning Western liberal democracy is that separation of religion and state always improves stability, and U.S. policy often encourages nations to move toward secular government structures. Yet, ethnically plural societies may need a common identity for the nation to gel and religion might be the glue that can hold a society together. Recent nation-building efforts signal a need for greater understanding of how best to employ religion as a cross-cutting tie for social cohesion. This thesis examines Israel, Iran, and Turkey; each has varying ethnic and religious compositions...

The Law
ISBN: 9781505560909 / Angielski / Miękka / 74 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Law, by Frederic Bastiat is a classic work of political philosophy taken from the history of the human quest for a government that works. It was written by Bastiat in the early 1800's after the establishment of The United States, which greatly influences his work. It reflects the reasoning of our Founding Fathers in the establishing of a new form of government. It is as fresh today as it was when it was written and is ever more important to our nation as it ages and moves away from our founding principles and the history that brought about our birth as a nation. This book is reprinted...

ISBN: 9781505622485 / Angielski / Miękka / 188 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In The Difference Manifesto Wallace explores the necessity of nonconformism and 'Difference' in sustaining vibrant and inclusive societies. Taking examples from as far afield as the Bedouin nomads of Arabia and the Seasteading technophiles of Silicon Valley, he colorfully illustrates how our identity and aspirations are nurtured through exploration, and access to new people and ideas.
