  Alexis de Tocqueville (1805-59) came to America in 1831 to see what a great republic was like. What struck him most was the country’s equality of conditions, its democracy. The book he wrote on his return to France, Democracy in America, is both the best ever written on democracy and the best ever written on America. It remains the most often quoted book about the United States, not only because it has something to interest and please everyone, but also because it has something to teach everyone. 
    
  When it was published in 2000, Harvey Mansfield and Delba Winthrop’s new translation of Democracy in America—only the third since the original two-volume work was published in 1835 and 1840—was lauded in all quarters as the finest and most definitive edition of Tocqueville’s classic thus far. Mansfield and Winthrop have restored the nuances of Tocqueville’s language, with the expressed goal “to convey Tocqueville’s thought as he held it rather than to restate it in comparable terms of today.” The result is a translation with minimal interpretation, but with impeccable annotations of unfamiliar references and a masterful introduction placing the work and its author in the broader contexts of political philosophy and statesmanship.

  Why Should the Brain Register Hurt?Public Talk • Madras (Chennai), 1977–78In this searching public talk, J. Krishnamurti investigates why psychological hurt leaves such a deep and lasting mark on the human mind.He explores how images, memories and ideas about ourselves are formed, and how these inner images become vulnerable to criticism, rejection and disappointment. Is it possible to listen, observe and live without continually recording hurt, resentment and emotional pain?With characteristic clarity, Krishnamurti asks whether the brain can free itself from the burden of past wounds—not through suppression, forgiveness or gradual effort, but through complete attention and direct understanding.A profound enquiry into self-image, memory, relationship and the possibility of a mind that is no longer psychologically wounded.

  The Relentless War on...

  The Relentless War on Masculinity is a cultural, rhetorical, chemical, legal and institutional attack on all males. During the last seven decades it has resulted in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and New Zealand moving from being societies characterised by equality (during the 1980s) to now being highly gynocentric. 
  Western countries have tilted against men and boys for decades—dismantling fatherhood, ignoring male disadvantage, and portraying masculinity as a problem to be fixed. The result is a crisis: falling education outcomes for boys, disengaged young men, rising mental health struggles, plummeting birth rates, and fractured relationships between men and women. 
  This book shines a light on the causes of the crisis and offers a vision for how to rebuild. Combining clear analysis with heartfelt advocacy, David Maywald calls for a new social contract: one where boys are supported, men are respected, and both sexes work together to create a healthier future for us all... 
  This book explores: 
  - How Anglo societies moved from equality to gynocentrism—and what that means for our families, schools, and communities. 
  - Why fatherhood, faith, and purpose remain essential foundations of human flourishing. 
  - The cultural, political, and institutional forces that have sidelined men. 
  - Practical solutions and reforms that can restore balance, rebuilding collaboration between men and women. 
  There are no winners from The Relentless War on Masculinity, but we can rebuild a much healthier society if men and women collaborate for our children. Inclusion demands that we listen to and engage with all voices—including males, White people and Christians. 
  As a society, will we choose combativeness or collaboration? Read on for a provocative, hopeful and urgent call to action. This book is for everyone who believes that when men and boys thrive, society also flourishes.
