A primer on the bedrock principles of politics from “Harvard’s most controversial conservative professor” and the author of Democracy in America (Boston magazine).

Mansfield, one of America’s leading political theorists, explains why our quest for the good life must address the type of government we seek to uphold.

An account of the civil rights march that ended in the unlawful incarceration of African American protestors—and the basis for the 2017 documentary. In October 1965, nearly 800 young people attempted to march from their churches in Natchez to protest segregation, discrimination and mistreatment by white leaders and elements of the Ku Klux Klan. As they exited the churches, local authorities forced the would-be marchers onto buses and charged them with “parading without a permit,” a local ordinance later ruled unconstitutional. For approximately 150 of these young men and women, this was only the beginning. They were taken to the Mississippi State Penitentiary in Parchman, where prison authorities subjected them to days of abuse, humiliation and punishment under horrific conditions. Most were African Americans in their teens and early twenties. Authors G. Mark LaFrancis, Robert Morgan and Darrell White reveal the injustice of this overlooked dramatic episode in civil rights history. “White and Galen Mark LaFrancis are in the process of filming a documentary to shed light on the Parchman Ordeal, which, along with other Natchez stories—like the 1967 Ku Klux Klan slaying of Wharlest Jackson—has flown below the nation’s radar.”—The Root “Could help shed more light on the incident and its place in the nation’s civil rights history.”—The Natchez DemocratShow book
“Recent Literature on Interest” is a book by Eugen von Böhm-Bawerk. It serves as a supplement to his two major works, “Capital and Interest” and “The Positive Theory of Capital”. In this book, Böhm-Bawerk addresses alternatives to the Austrian theory he had previously presented, thereby clarifying the case. The book is an excellent illustration of the economist’s stunning patience and capacity for thorough exposition.Show book
Every year millions of Americans visit national parks and monuments, state and municipal parks, battlefields, historic houses, and museums. By means of guided walks and talks, tours, exhibits, and signs, visitors experience these areas through a very special kind of communication technique known as "interpretation." For fifty years, Freeman Tilden's Interpreting Our Heritage has been an indispensable sourcebook for those who are responsible for developing and delivering interpretive programs. This expanded and revised anniversary edition includes not only Tilden's classic work but also five additional essays by Tilden on the art and craft of interpretation, a new foreword by former National Park Service director Russell Dickenson, and an introduction by R. Bruce Craig that puts Tilden's writings into perspective for present and future generations.Whether the challenge is to make a prehistoric site come to life; to explain the geological basis behind a particular rock formation; to touch the hearts and minds of visitors to battlefields, historic homes, and sites; or to teach a child about the wonders of the natural world, Tilden's book, with its explanation of the famed "six principles" of interpretation, provides a guiding hand.Show book
The mixture of hypnosis and social anxiety disorder is part of a broader movement that moves from conventional medicine to self-help for many conditions. Given that social anxiety can be permanently removed from the life of the health industry, it is only reasonable for the patients to pursue a second view from outside the medical area-i.e. themselves. For many years hypnosis has been used in many therapeutic forms of treatment, including anxiety, for a variety of illnesses and conditions. Online self-help guides mainly drive the current trend towards self-hypnosis. Since the most common concerns are the fears of being judged by others, one of the main aims of conventional drugs and therapy is to relax a patient's mind and body to the degree that obsessive thought can be managed. Calming of the mind and body is the embodiment of the hypnotic approach for the proponents of the association of hypnosis and social anxiety disorder. With many of the internet self-hypnosis guides, people with social anxiety can now find much of their cure on their schedule and in their way. Do you feel anxious around crowds? Have a hard time dealing with meeting new people? With the help of Motivational Hypnotherapy, you can overcome social anxiety and create social confidence. It's time to let your true self shine!
