Summary

The Complete Works of Thomas Jefferson is a monumental anthology that encapsulates the diverse writings of one of America'Äôs Founding Fathers. Jefferson'Äôs literary style ranges from the lyrical and philosophical to the practical and political, reflecting the Enlightenment ideals that shaped his worldview. This compilation includes letters, essays, and official documents, offering profound insights into his thoughts on government, liberty, and human rights, while also providing a rich historical context of 18th-century America. The work serves as a vital primary source for understanding the principles upon which the United States was founded and the ideological battles that characterized the nascent nation. As the third President of the United States and the principal author of the Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson was profoundly influenced by the Enlightenment, classical philosophy, and his own experiences as a statesman and diplomat.

Jefferson's commitment to intellectual discourse and his belief in the power of education are palpable throughout his works, fueling his desire to shape an informed citizenry. For readers interested in the foundations of American democracy and the evolution of political thought, The Complete Works of Thomas Jefferson is an indispensable resource. It invites reflection on contemporary issues of governance, ethics, and civil rights, providing a timeless perspective that resonates well beyond its historical setting. Engaging with Jefferson'Äôs writings offers not only a glimpse into a pivotal era but also encourages a critical examination of the values that continue to define the American experience.

    Derrick Bell is perhaps best known for the principled stand he took at Harvard in 1990 when he quit his tenured position on the law-school faculty to protest the school's failure to grant tenure to a black woman. Now a visiting professor at New York Law School, Bell is still deeply interested in issues of race relations and has chosen to explore the subject fictionally in ""Afrolantica Legacies."" In a nutshell, the story goes like this: a mysterious land mass suddenly appears in the Atlantic Ocean, a fabulous island on which only black people can survive. American blacks set sail to the island to begin a new life, only to see it sink again before they can reach the shore. On the return trip to America, the passengers draw up a list of principles called the Afrolantica Legacies, defining how they want to reposition themselves in American society. The book uses a fictional setting to outline some remedies for the problem of race relations between African Americans and white people in our society.

    Never before has anyone explored the mind, soul, and heart of Ronald Reagan. The Search for Reagan explores the challenges and controversies in Reagan's life and how he successfully dealt with each, depicting a man who was never as conservative as some conservatives wanted him to be, but rather as conservative as he was comfortable being—a man who wanted to win on his own terms and integrity. 
 
 
 
Ronald Reagan was a singularly unique man and conservative who championed a wildly successful revolution—leading to more freedom and less government for the American people and to the fall of communism, while boosting American morale. He was the first president in many years who believed optimism from the Oval Office had a direct bearing on the affairs of the nation. As a consequence, he left office more popular than when he entered, with a whopping 73 percent approval. He understood that American conservatism was based upon the individual and not the group. In his presidency, he solved the mystery of high inflation that had bedeviled his predecessor, high interest rates, and high gas prices. He created over twenty million new jobs, and the number of American millionaires grew from 4,414 to 34,944. He is considered by most historians to be one of our four greatest presidents, along with George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, and Franklin Roosevelt.
