  Carson's full-scale treatment of American history combines scholarly exactness with evocative passages that lead the listener to a clearer understanding of the people and events, the triumphs and the shortcomings, that have shaped this nation. 
  Carson begins this third volume by diagnosing the root causes that eventually gave rise to sectionalism: regional differences and changes, the election of 1824, the Adams administration, and the emergence of the two parties of American government. 
  The book goes on to discuss the meaning of Jacksonian Democracy; the removal of the Indians; the nullification and bank controversies; the plantation system; the Transcendentalists and the development of American literature; the public school movement; westward expansion; the election of Lincoln; and finally, the Civil War.

  Inspired by the success of the US Christian Right and the rise of the global far-right, ultraconservative Christians in Europe are joining forces and seek to reshape Europe. By assembling in anti-gender movements and sharing anti-Muslim narratives, they actively influence the political landscape and shape government policies. The contributors offer new perspectives on the protagonists and the entangled networks that work to abolish liberal democracy in Europe behind the scenes. This anthology is the first to bring together case studies on the Christian Right in over 20 European countries, providing a transnational perspective and an accessible insight for clergy, politicians, and academics alike.

  What happens when the greatest threat to your freedom is not a dictator, but the very society that surrounds you? 
  In a world where conformity is rewarded and dissent is silenced, John Stuart Mill’s groundbreaking treatise stands as an impenetrable shield for human individuality. The central struggle of our age is no longer just subjects against governments, but the sovereign individual against the oppressive "tyranny of the majority." Exploring the delicate balance between civil authority and personal independence, Mill argues passionately that society has no right to interfere with a person’s actions unless they cause harm to others. Dive into a profound philosophical journey that dissects the vital necessity of free speech, the dangers of dead dogmas, and the absolute sovereignty of the mind. 
  Why you will love this: This Political Philosophy classic transcends time, speaking directly to modern debates on censorship, ideological conformity, and human rights. Whether you are a student of history, a political science enthusiast, or a lover of profound intellectual discourse, you will find yourself gripped by Mill's razor-sharp logic. Its brilliant deconstruction of utilitarian ethics and social liberty provides the ultimate toolkit for anyone seeking to defend independent thought in an increasingly polarized world. 
  About the Author: John Stuart Mill was a British philosopher, political economist, and civil servant whose works fundamentally shaped 19th-century intellectual history. A pioneering advocate for early liberal thought, Mill's rigorous defenses of freedom, logic, and ethical inquiry remain a cornerstone of modern democratic theory.

  As a nurse I have been in situations where patients learned very bad news about the state of their health, news that was not received well by them, their families, or even their medical team. When preparing this book, my feelings were much the same as when I was in those situations. 
  The bad news about the health of our nation is, like cancer in a patient's body, communism (also known as "Marxism") has grown in the United States. Like cancer, it started with an unnoticed seed and grew insidiously with little sign or symptom. Now like cancer, communism is on the brink of overwhelming us. 
  Because I know that knowledge of their cancer is essential to my patient's first step towards survival, I believe that knowledge of our communism is essential to the United States of America's first step towards survival. So within this book, I describe: how I learned about the symptoms (The Real Communist Threat Witnessed); the disease (the Introduction and Sections 1, 2, 3 and 4 of the Communist Manifesto); the signs and symptoms and the treatment and cure (Constitution versus Communist Manifesto: The War within America). 
  Extremist Socialists, also known as Communists, like Extremist/Radical Islamists believe their ends justify their means (that is: lying, cheating, stealing, and killing). Beware of their joint product, Interfaith Dialogue.

  ". Direct perception is freedom - 10 February 1971 
  • Can the mind living in this world ever be free, not only superficially but 
  profoundly, at the very root of its existence? 
  • ‘Freedom from’ is an abstraction, but freedom in observing ‘what is’ and going 
  beyond it is actual freedom. 
  How do I observe greed? Do I observe it as an outsider looking in or do I observe it without the observer? 
  Without the mind being free you cannot live in order. 
  Q: Three years have passed; I have no energy to be aware of my reactions. Q: Can we seek God through observation?"
