A Bold Fresh Piece of Humanity: A Memoir [Secure]
by Bill O'Reilly
|
|
The year was 1957, the month September, and I had just turned eight years old. Dwight Eisenhower was President, but in my life it was the diminutive, intense Sister Mary Lurana who ruled, at least in the third-grade class where I was held captive. For reasons you will soon understand, my parents had remanded me to the penal institution of St. Brigid's School in Westbury, New York, a cruel and unusual punishment if there ever was one. Already, I had barely survived my first two years at St. Brigi... more info>>

A Capitol UFO
by Gary Dillman

It was July 26, 2002. Ten months had barely passed since the horrifying 9-11 attack on the United States. The country was on terrorist watch. A no-fly zone had been established around the nation's capitol. Radar at several Washington-area airports scanned the skies for any threat of attack. This was not a good time for an unidentified flying object to approach the capitol. Suddenly, an hour after midnight, fighter jets were scrambled when radar picked up a UFO twenty miles from the nation's capi... more info>> (Published: 2005)

American Fascists: The Christian Right and the War On America [Secure]
by Chris Hedges

|
Twenty-five years ago, when Pat Robertson and other radio and televangelists first spoke of the United States becoming a Christian nation that would build a global Christian empire, it was hard to take such hyperbolic rhetoric seriously. Today, such language no longer sounds like hyperbole but poses, instead, a very real threat to our freedom and our way of life. In American Fascists, Chris Hedges, veteran journalist and author of the National Book Award finalist War Is a Force That Gives Us Mea... more info>>

Cool It: The Skeptical Environmentalist's Guide to Global Warming [Secure]
by Bjorn Lomborg
|
|
A groundbreaking book that transforms the debate about global warming by offering a fresh perspective based on human needs as well as environmental concerns. Bjorn Lomborg argues that many of the elaborate and expensive actions now being considered to stop global warming will cost hundreds of billions of dollars, are often based on emotional rather than strictly scientific assumptions, and may very well have little impact on the world's temperature for hundreds of years. Rather than starting wit... more info>>

Culture Warrior [Secure]
by Bill O'Reilly

Bill O'Reilly is the very embodiment of the idea of a Culture Warrior--and in this book he lives up to the title brilliantly, with all the brashness and forthrightness at his command. He sees that America is in the midst of a fierce culture war between those who embrace traditional values and those who want to change America into a "secular-progressive" country. This is a conflict that differs in many ways from the usual liberal/conservative divide, but it is no less heated, and the stakes are e... more info>>

Dragon Rising: An Inside Look at China Today [Secure]

Jasper Becker's book, The Chinese, was hailed as the best single-volume introduction to this enormous, inscrutable society. The Washington Post said, "He has been everywhere and asked every question," describing his conclusions as "right in both details and analysis." Since then, China's role in world affairs has only grown greater. No nation on Earth is as newsworthy as 21st-century China--and no book could be timelier than Dragon Rising, appearing just as world attention begins to focus on the... more info>>

In this completely original and thoroughly controversial work, Coulter writes, "Liberals love to boast that they are not 'religious,' which is what one would expect to hear from the state-sanctioned religion. Of course liberalism is a religion.

Putin's Labyrinth: Spies, Murder, and the Dark Heart of the New Russia [Secure]

The new Russia is marching in an alarming direction. Emboldened by escalating oil wealth and newfound prominence as a world power, Russia, under the leadership of Vladimir Putin, has veered back toward the authoritarian roots planted in Imperial/Czarist times and firmly established during the Soviet era. Though Russia has a new president, Dmitri Medvedev, Putin remains in control, rendering the democratic reforms of the post-Soviet order irrelevant. Now, in Putin's Labyrinth, acclaimed journalis... more info>>

Along the way he has earned millions of admirers--and more than his share of enemies--by advancing controversial, often counterintuitive arguments, including: Liberals love losing because it makes them feel virtuous; America isn't normal--it's bizarrely blessed; Hollywood has lost touch with America--and punishes people who point that out;... more info>>
