Political & Social Sciences

  • Graduating from the Electoral College

    by Tomas McIntee
    This book argues incisively that the Electoral College neither lives up to the hopes of the Founding Fathers nor to the promises made in the myths that protect it today. In thorough but concise analysis that includes every single presidential election from 1788 to 2020, Tomas McIntee shows that the Electoral College does not have a systematic bias in favor of small states, rural voters, or either of the two major political parties. Instead, it is chaotic; it favors large battleground stat... more

  • Liberty, Science and Wealth: The Evolution to Modern Society

    by Ralph Bayrer
    “Ralph Bayrer’s new book, Free People-Free Markets: Their Evolutionary Origins, is a timely reaffirmation of freedom’s central role in the creation of American prosperity and the most celebrated advances of western civilization. Relying on the thorough scholarship and clarity of argument, Bayrer makes the compelling case that mankind’s progress in the last millennium rests on a narrow foundation of freedom, a lesson people forger at their peril.” “This book is a compelling, new perspective on... more

  • Governance & Human Nature: The Crippling Incompatibility Hidden In Plain Sight

    by Omar Digna

    Political systems rely on people's approval for governance, but we humans are not naturally good at creating and maintaining a good government. When we get together in groups, we tend to fall into predictable patterns of behavior that can lead us down dark paths. What causes this to happen? And how do we address this issue?

  • Advancing DEI and Creating Inclusive Environments in the Online Space

    by Nina M. McCune, Ed.
    Most investigations of how to create equity outcomes in higher education are relegated to traditional, on ground, four year residential schools. This submission examines how an institution creates inclusive learning environments in the online space in a way that is sustainable, measurable, and threaded throughout faculty development and course delivery.
  • Still Common Sense

    by Rodger Carlyle
    Complex and fact based, STILL COMMON SENSE embraces the traditional truths of America with hard documentation, the kind of book that will appeal to Americans with conservative political views, as well as progressives interested in countering the conservative agenda. STILL COMMON SENSE digs deeply into how the United States got into a situation where many Americans feel obligated to ignore and even chastise the other side. Many of the conclusions reached might be different depending on the indivi... more
  • Berlin - Zoologischer Garten

    by Andrej Poleev
    Als Bestiarien werden Textsammlungen des Mittelalters bezeichnet, in denen verschiedene Tierarten in ihren Eigenschaften beschrieben werden. Aus der Sicht mittelalterlich-christlicher Naturdeutung ist zoologische Verhaltensforschung immer auch Theologie: Das Tier wird stets unter der Perspektive seiner Deutungsfähigkeit gesehen, als "Lehrmittel", das den Menschen Moral lehrt und Gottes Heilsplan erläutert. Das Buch „Berlin - Zoologischer Garten“ folgt dieser Tradition: Es soll lehren und verdeut... more
  • Recht auf Widerstand

    by Andrej Poleev

    Im "Recht auf Widerstand" beschreibe ich an anschaulichen Beispielen das System des Unrechts, wie es tatsächlich aussieht, ohne es zu übertreiben oder etwas auszulassen; der Leser soll selbst über Wahrheitsgehalt meiner Darstellungen urteilen.  Das Buch bildet eine gedankliche und historische Brücke zwischen "Berlin - Zoologischer Garten", das in den Jahren 2014 und 2015 verfasst wurde, und nachfolgenden Erscheinungen, d.h. nach der Veröffentl... more

  • What Does it Mean To Be Human?

    by Bryan Gould
    In the absence of divine direction, how do we decide for ourselves the behaviours that would best serve our own interests, and those of other creatures, and of the planet as a whole? What might we turn to and draw upon to help us in making our own rules and in establishing our own moral principles?
  • JUSTICE IN YOUR COURT

    by Tom Borcher
    Please take your seat in the jury box. Justice in Your Court provides you the opportunity to decide fifty real court cases and then compare your "verdict" with the actual court ruling. You decide if and when schools can host religious clubs, whether churchowned businesses can use "volunteers" to do the tasks paid employees also perform, if the police can view your property from a helicopter without a search warrant, what limitations the government can place on free speech, who was primarily negl... more
  • ETERNAL VIGILANCE

    by Ralph L. Bayrer
    Your argument of how to protect the goose that laid the golden egg by defending freedom, civil society, and capitalism from the pernicious effects of Progressivism seems compelling to me. Moreover your account of the rise of progressivism in the U.S.is must reading for anyone who would take a stand on political issues. And no one who reads your accounts of the rise and fall of free-people-free market models of government in other societies can fail to agree with you about the value of governmen... more

  • Feast of Renewal

    by Andrej Poleev
    The Birth of Jesus Christ and the Jewish festival of Hanukkah, which coincide in time with the end of the calendar year and the beginning of the new year, are very different in meaning: the first celebrates the beginning of the Christian era; the second celebrates the restoration of the traditional service in the Temple in Jerusalem, which was interrupted by the civil war in 170 BC. As it is not difficult to understand, the feast of Hanukkah is a feast of restoration, which is explained by the c... more
  • Immigrant Psychology

    by Joachim O. F. Reimann, Ph.D. Dolores I. Rodríguez-Reimann, Ph.D.
    This book seeks to inform immigrants and community-based organizations who work with them about the environmental stressors immigrant populations tend to face and the cultural resilience that helps many overcome obstacles.
