This work embodies his vision for a harmonious society, reflecting a deep-seated desire for moral integrity that was often at odds with the power structures of his era. "Thomas More Premium Edition" is an essential read for anyone seeking to understand the complexities of human society and moral philosophy.

It revisits moments like the McCarthy era, the Patriot Act, and the COVID-19 pandemic, highlighting how fear and crisis have been catalysts for the erosion of freedoms historically championed by democratic societies.Part 3, "Betrayed Estates," shifts the focus to property rights. It examines eminent domain, zoning laws, intellectual property, and taxation policies, demonstrating how these can sometimes betray the very essence of ownership and economic freedom.Peter Serefine masterfully intertwines historical contexts with contemporary relevance, offering a critical perspective on government actions.

The Yoga Store Murder - The...

Dan Morse

It was a crime that shocked the country. On March 21, 2011, two young saleswomen were found inside a lululemon athletica store in Bethesda, Maryland, one of the nation's wealthiest suburbs. Jayna Murray, thirty, was dead—stabbed, slashed, and struck more than 300 times. Brittany Norwood, twenty-eight, was alive—tied up on a bathroom floor, her clothing ripped, her face bloodied. This is the full, true story of what happened. 
 
 
 
"In the field of true crime you never know what you'll get—a badly written clip job or thoughtful reportage that goes beyond the crime scene to the impact of crime on people and society. This book lines up on the latter side. It was one of the best written and researched true crime books I've read in quite a while." —MICHAEL CONNELLY, bestselling author and executive producer of the Bosch drama series 
 
 
 
"An incredible piece of true crime." —Cosmopolitan 
 
 
 
"[Morse] brings a journalist's instincts to this moment-by-moment chronicle." —The Washington Post 
 
 
 
"[Listeners] will tear through the book—as I did—to learn the solution to the dark mystery at its core." —HAROLD SCHECHTER, author of The Mad Sculptor: The Maniac, the Model, and the Murder that Shook a Nation
