  "The Law" by Frédéric Bastiat is a seminal work in political philosophy and economics, offering a robust defense of individual liberty and property rights against the encroachments of government. Written in 1850, Bastiat's concise yet profound treatise critiques the use of law as an instrument of coercion and redistribution, arguing instead that its proper role is the protection of individual freedoms. Through eloquent and accessible prose, Bastiat expounds on the dangers of socialism and economic interventionism, advocating for a system where the law serves only to uphold justice, ensure public order, and protect rights. His work remains a cornerstone of libertarian thought, celebrated for its lucid analysis of the principles underpinning a free society and its prescient warnings against the overreach of governmental power.

  A revised and updated edition of the definitive guide to overturning Citizens United. 
   
   
    
  Since the Supreme Court's Citizens United ruling that the rights of things—money and corporations—matter more than the rights of people, America has faced a crisis of democracy. In this timely and thoroughly updated second edition, Jeff Clements describes the strange history of this bizarre ruling, its ongoing destructive effects, and the growing movement to reverse it. 
   
    
    
  He includes a new chapter, "Do Something!," showing how—state by state and community by community—Americans are using creative strategies and tools to renew democracy and curb unbalanced corporate power. Since the first edition, sixteen states, one-hundred-sixty members of Congress, and five hundred cities and towns have called for a constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United, and the list is growing. This is a fight we can win! 
   
   
    
  "More relevant than ever, this updated edition of Corporations Are Not People chronicles the remarkably vibrant, nationwide grassroots movement to 'get money out and voters in.' " —Katrina vanden Heuvel, Editor and Publisher, The Nation

  “Davy Crockett buffs, Tennessee bibliophiles, genealogists, folklorists, historians, and the general reader should find this carefully researched and authoritative edition, which extricates the man from the myth, a valuable addition to the frontier history, biography, and literature of Tennessee and America.” 
  –Robert E. Dalton, Tennessee Historical Quarterly. 
   
  “This book. . . will go a long way toward separating the myths that grew up around Crockett and the actual facts. This will enable the reader to acquire a greater appreciation for this long-neglected Tennessean.” 
  –Sarah McMahon, Historical Review and Antique Digest 
   
  Authored in 1834 by David Crockett (1786–1836), with some editorial assistance from his congressional colleague from Kentucky, Thomas Chilton, the Narrative of the Life of David Crockett of the State of Tennessee is one of the most significant documents of the American pioneer experience in the first half of the nineteenth century. It describes the author's life from his first memories in eastern Tennessee through his progressive moves westward, his participation in the Creek War, his hunting experiences, and his political service in the Tennessee House of Representatives and the U.S. Congress. The book closes with Crockett's reelection to his final term in Congress (1833–1835), shortly before his fateful journey to Texas and his death at the Alamo in 1836.

  7 Signs You May Be...

  Unintentional manipulation is a behavior that often goes unnoticed, even by the person exhibiting it. Many people associate manipulation with malicious intent, but the reality is that it can stem from deep-seated insecurities, learned behaviors, or a lack of self-awareness. When manipulation is unintentional, it can be especially difficult to recognize because the person engaging in it often believes they are acting out of necessity, self-protection, or even love. However, these behaviors can have lasting negative effects on relationships, creating tension, mistrust, and emotional exhaustion for both parties involved.  
    
  Understanding manipulation requires a willingness to look inward and examine patterns of communication and interaction. Some people use guilt, passive-aggression, or victimhood as a means of influencing others without realizing that these tactics can be harmful. Others may withdraw affection or communication to maintain control in situations where they feel vulnerable. In some cases, even excessive people-pleasing can be a form of manipulation, as it subtly pressures others to respond in a certain way. These behaviors are often unconscious, but they still impact those around us. Recognizing them is the first step toward change.   
    
  The purpose of this book is not to shame or condemn but to provide insight into these behaviors and offer practical steps for improvement. No one is perfect, and many people engage in manipulative behaviors at some point in their lives. However, when these behaviors become patterns, they can erode trust and create unhealthy dynamics. By identifying the signs of unintentional manipulation, individuals can develop healthier ways of expressing their needs, setting boundaries, and maintaining relationships based on mutual respect and honesty.
