  Why Political Science Classics Collection is so important? In today's world, providing quality training for the younger generation at colleges and universities is of primary importance.  But higher education is not enough.  Any graduate is first and foremost a citizen of his nation.  He has the right to be an actor in the political life of his society.  The political changes taking place today in the modern world are dependent on the civic stance of each person.  In this way, a serious challenge facing the world system of higher education is to educate citizens who are capable of navigating and influencing the modern political processes in his country.  Youth today actively participate in campaigns carried out by political parties and community organizations.  However, it is impossible to develop conditions which foster a civic position without the existence of a political culture.  In today's global community, facing growing pressures of political extremism and radicalism, knowledge of basic political science principles should help students develop a democratic ethos and foster qualities, such as political tolerance, compromise, and cooperation, while learning to express and defend their interests in a civilized manner.  The foundation of political science lies in the accumulated knowledge of mankind.  This collection was compiled as an aid to college and university students. Each included piece is required reading at some of the best universities on the planet including: Harvard, Princeton, Yale, and Columbia Universities, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), and the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge, among others.  This collection includes works famous authors:   The Art of War by Sun Tzu   Tao Te Ching by Lao Tzu   The Republic by Plato   Meditations by Marcus Aurelius   The Prince by Niccolo Machiavelli   Utopia by Thomas More   Common Sense by Thomas Paine   Utilitarianism by John Stuart Mill   The Communist Manifesto by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels   The State and Revolution by Vladimir lenin

  This British Railways history recounts the life of a controversial steam engine and its miraculous transformation at the hands of a brilliant engineer.   As Chief Mechanical Engineer of the Southern Railway, Oliver Bulleid designed what were perhaps the most controversial steam locomotives ever built in Britain: the Pacifics. Loved and loathed in equal measure, the debate over their strengths and weaknesses took on a new dimension when British Railways decided to modify them in the 1950s.   When noted engineer Ron Jarvis was charged with improving on Bulleid’s designs, he displayed a master’s touch, saving the best of Bulleid’s work while incorporating other established design principles. What emerged was described by Bert Spencer, Gresley’s talented assistant, as taking ‘a swan and creating a soaring eagle.’   This book explores all the elements of the lives of these Pacifics and their two designers. It draws on previously unpublished material to describe their gradual evolution, which didn’t start or finish with the 1950s major rebuilding program.

  The phone rings; the doctor has the results. "Are you ready Amanda?"  
  The two people Amanda Baxley loves the most had begged her not to be tested. But she had to find out. If your family carried a mutated gene that foretold brutal illness and you could find out if you inherited it, would you do it? Would you confront it, accepting whatever answer came? Or ignore it while you could?  
  In Mercies in Disguise, acclaimed New York Times reporter and bestselling author Gina Kolata tells the story of the Baxleys, an upstanding family in small town South Carolina. Many of them were doctors, but still, they are struck down by an inscrutable illness. Finally, they discover the cause of the disease after a remarkable sequence of providential events.

It's a story of a family dealing with unspeakable tragedy without being driven apart.
