  Moderate Conservatism: Reclaiming the Center by John Kekes is a response to attacks on the United States' 300-year-old constitutional democracy by extremists on the left and the right. It makes a reasoned case for moderation and the defense of a political system that has endured because it has balanced the often-conflicting claims of justice, liberty, equality, prosperity, and security. That balance is now threatened by extremists who ignore all else but their grievances. They are blind to the destructive consequences of their attacks on the conditions on which the well-being of all Americans, including their own, depends. 
   
   
   
  The aim of Moderate Conservatism is to protect the United States' political system. It is a defense of what Americans have and are in danger of losing. Central to it is the rarely conscious patriotism of many millions of citizens who live private lives, earn a living, raise a family, and rely on the political system to protect the conditions in which they can continue to do so. They sustain life as Americans know it. And that life is now threatened by the destructive attacks of extremists. The United States is in urgent need of the balance and moderation this book describes and defends.

In this helpful guide, Leland Ryken and Glenda Faye Mathes encourage a new generation of readers to overcome the notion of reading as a duty and learn to see it as a delight.

  Ancient Egyptian astronomy was deeply intertwined with the culture’s religious beliefs, daily life, and architectural marvels. Long before modern telescopes and advanced instruments, the Egyptians observed the night sky with precision, using it to navigate their world, mark the passing of time, and guide their spiritual practices. Astronomy was not merely a scientific endeavor but a fundamental aspect of their understanding of the cosmos and its connection to the gods. 
  The Egyptians viewed the stars, planets, and other celestial bodies as manifestations of divine power. Central to their astronomical system was the Sun, which they associated with the god Ra. Ra's journey across the sky each day symbolized the cycle of life, death, and rebirth. The Sun’s movement was used to structure the day and marked important moments in the agricultural calendar, such as the flooding of the Nile. The Egyptians also closely tracked the movements of the Moon and stars, which helped them define the months and seasons. 
  The study of the stars held profound religious significance for the ancient Egyptians. They believed that the stars were the eyes of the gods, observing and guiding humanity. Certain constellations, such as Orion, were particularly important, representing Osiris, the god of the afterlife. The Egyptians’ knowledge of the stars was so advanced that it influenced the alignment of their monumental architecture. The Great Pyramid of Giza, for instance, is aligned with remarkable precision to the stars, showcasing their ability to map the heavens and incorporate that knowledge into their constructions.
