  Truth is Still Out There The:...

  In September 1993, a TV show like no other appeared on our screens, asking us to consider the essence of truth and belief, to think about the nature and roles of science and humanity, and to question what we were told by those in power. Combining horror, science fiction, drama, crime, and comedy with cinematic filmmaking, The X-Files transported the paranoia of the sixties and seventies to the technologically savvy nineties as it followed two iconic characters, FBI Agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully, in their labyrinthine pursuit of truth. Further, The X-Files reversed conventional television gender roles: Mulder was our believer in the paranormal, chasing down clues in search of his abducted sister; Scully was the skeptic, a scientist preaching rationality and objective truth. Now, thirty years later, the nature of conspiracy theories may have changed, but the anxiety surrounding them has not. In an era in which Watergate has been replaced by Gamergate and conspiracy theorists blindly embrace the myth of a stolen election and maintain that an all-powerful cabal of Satanic Democrats—defeatable by only one man—is preying on children, The X-Files remains as relevant as ever.

  A compelling intellectual biography of Stalin told through his personal library. 
   
   
   
  In this engaging life of the twentieth century's most self-consciously learned dictator, Geoffrey Roberts explores the books Stalin read, how he read them, and what they taught him. Stalin firmly believed in the transformative potential of words and his voracious appetite for reading guided him throughout his years. A biography as well as an intellectual portrait, this book explores all aspects of Stalin's tumultuous life and politics. 
   
   
    
  Stalin, an avid reader from an early age, amassed a surprisingly diverse personal collection of thousands of books, many of which he marked and annotated revealing his intimate thoughts, feelings, and beliefs. Based on his wide-ranging research in Russian archives, Roberts tells the story of the creation, fragmentation, and resurrection of Stalin's personal library. As a true believer in communist ideology, Stalin was a fanatical idealist who hated his enemies—the bourgeoisie, kulaks, capitalists, imperialists, reactionaries, counter-revolutionaries, traitors—but detested their ideas even more.

  Experience the Words That Ignited a Revolution.
  
  First published anonymously in January 1776, Thomas Paine's Common Sense was the spark that turned colonial discontent into a full-scale demand for independence. Written in clear, forceful language designed to be understood by everyone—not just the elite—this masterpiece of political persuasion dismantled the "myth" of the British monarchy and argued that the colonies had both a right and a duty to govern themselves.
  
  
  Paine's arguments were so compelling that they reached nearly every corner of the colonies, becoming the all-time best-selling American title relative to the population. His call for a democratic republic and the protection of natural rights provided the intellectual foundation for the Declaration of Independence and the birth of a new nation.
  
  This definitive edition presents the complete, original text of the most influential pamphlet in American history. Whether you are a student of early American history, a fan of political philosophy, or simply looking to understand the roots of American liberty, Common Sense remains an essential and electrifying read.
  
  Discover the power of logic and the spirit of freedom. Buy "Common Sense" today and witness the birth of a nation.
