Common Sense: Addressed to the Inhabitants of America

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Paine, Thomas, PUBLISHER: Cosimo Classics, Society in every state is a blessing, but government even, in its best state, is but a necessary evil; in its worst state an intolerable one; for when we suffer, or are exposed to the same miseries by a government, which we might expect in a country without government, our calamity is heightened by reflecting that we furnish the means by which we suffer. Government, like dress, is the badge of lost innocence; the palaces of kings are built on the ruins of the bowers of paradise. -from Common Sense It is impossible to overstate influence of Thomas Paine-idealist, radical, and master rhetorician-in the creation of America. With this incendiary pamphlet, published anonymously in early , he gave voice to the discontent that gripped the British colonists in the New World with his cries for small government and personal liberty, and his calls to shrug off the tyranny of Crown led directly to the Declaration of Independence only months later. He was the premiere political "blogger" of his day, a man Thomas Edison called "one of the greatest of all Americans," and one today's liberals and progressives still claim as their intellectual forefather. Everyone who values freedom-of speech, of thought, of governance-and the ongoing fight required to maintain it must read and appreciate this, one of the foundational documents of the United States of America. Also available from Cosimo Classics: Paine's The Age of Reason OF INTEREST TO: students of liberal philosophy, reader of American history AUTHOR BIO: Anglo-American political theorist and writer THOMAS PAINE () was born in England and emigrated to America in , bearing letters of introduction from Benjamin Franklin. He also wroteRights of Man ().

What Works: Common Sense Solutions to the Nation's Problems

Thomas probes and provides answers to questions like,why must we constantly refight the same battles over and over? Why don’t we consult the past and use common sense in order to see that what others discovered long before we were born can still works today? Our politics and even our spiritual lives too often resemble the film “Groundhog Day” in which actor Bill Murray wakes up and repeats the same event again and again with the same results. Think present-day Washington.We KNOW what works — historically

Common Sense and Other Writings

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Paine, Thomas / Opal, Jason M. / Opal, J. M., PUBLISHER: W. W. Norton & Company, Thomas Paine often declared himself a citizen of the world. This Norton Critical Edition presents Paine and his writing within the transatlantic and global context of the revolutionary ideas and actions of his time.Thomas Paine s loyalties were with universal and self-evident principles rather than with a particular group or nation, and it is this dimension that informed his most important works. This Norton Critical Edition shows how Paine s fury at the British Empire, including its injustices to South Asians and Africans, shaped his first best seller, Common Sense, and how his direct involvement with the French Revolution pushed his ideas toward a unique form of democratic radicalism. Together with his rejection of organized religion, Paine s radicalism resulted in his being one of the most hated men in both monarchial Britain and republican America.This volume includes J. M. Opal s introduction, Thomas Paine and the Revolutionary Enlightenment, s 90s, which provides essential biographical and historical details across three tumultuous decades. Paine s most important works from Common Sense () through Agrarian Justice () are reprinted and are accompanied by explanatory annotations.Supporting materials include a wide range of documents from the turbulent years following the publication of both Common Sense and the Declaration of Independence. These include Pennsylvania s gradual emancipation statute of the s, an ex-slave s impassioned call for revolutionary violence against European imperialists and masters, and a British conservative s witty rejoinder to Paine s vision of a brave new world.Four major interpretations of Paine s work are provided by Nathan R. Perl-Rosenthal, Robert A. Ferguson, Gary Kates, and Gregory Claeys.A Selected Bibliography is also included.

The Astral Plane- Its Scenery, Inhabitants & Phenomena

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Leadbeater, Charles Webster, PUBLISHER: Aziloth Books, C W Leadbeater was one of the foremost writers on theosophical topics in the early 20th century. He is the father of Neo-Theosophy, a man credited with great occult ability, whose prolific writings cover a wide range of esoteric topics, from descriptions of the super-physical worlds, through humanity's occult past and potential future, to the remote-viewing of atoms and sub-atomic particles. In 'The Astral Plane' he focuses on the plane of existence which lies just above our own, and which we visit during periods of lucid dreaming. Leadbeater's account describes the Astral's environment and spiritual denizens in great detail: here we find descriptions of angels, elementals, fairies, vampires, werewolves and black magicians, and explanations for psychic phenomena such as clairvoyance, levitation, churchyard ghosts, spirit photographs and mysterious bell-ringing. Written in Leadbeater's eloquent, matter-of-fact style, 'The Astral Plane' is one of the best introductions to this otherworldly realm.

The End of Energy: The Unmaking of America's Environment,

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Graetz, Michael J., PUBLISHER: MIT Press (MA), Americans take for granted that when we flip a switch the light will goon, when we turn up the thermostat the room will get warm, and when we pull up tothe pump gas will be plentiful and relatively cheap. In The End of Energy, MichaelGraetz shows us that we have been living an energy delusion for forty years. Untilthe s, we produced domestically all the oil we needed to run our power plants, heat our homes, and fuel our cars. Since then, we have had to import most of the oilwe use, much of it from the Middle East. And we rely on an even dirtierfuel--coal--to produce half of our electricity. Graetz describes more than fortyyears of energy policy incompetence--from the Nixon administration's fumbledresponse to the OPEC oil embargo through the failure to develop alternative energysources to the current political standoff over "cap and trade"--and arguesthat we must make better decisions for our energy future. Rather than pushingpolicies that, over time, would produce the changes we need, presidents have swungfor the fences, wasting billions seeking a technological "silver bullet"to solve all our problems. Congress has continually elevated narrow parochialinterests over our national goals, directing huge subsidies and tax breaks tofavored constituents and contributors. And, despite thousands of pages of energylegislation since the s, Americans have never been asked to pay a price thatreflects the real cost of the energy they consume. Until Americans face the factsabout price, our energy incompetence will continue--and along with it the unravelingof our environment, security, and independence.

The Power to Destroy: How the IRS Became America's Most

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Roth, William V., Jr. / William V Roth / Nixon, William H., PUBLISHER: Atlantic Monthly Press, The IRS is one of the most powerful agencies in the U.S. government, and since its founding it has been plagued by accusations of abuses of power. In Senator William Roth spearheaded the most extensive reform effort in IRS history, resulting in the Internal Revenue Service Restructuring Bill, which passed the Senate 97-0 on May . Designed to increase taxpayer protections, provide oversight of the agency's managers and employees, and open up the culture of secrecy that has come to characterize the modern tax-collecting agency, the legislation has ushered in a new era in income tax. In The Power to Destroy, Senator William V. Roth, Jr., offers a behind-the-scenes account of a story that has captivated America. He outlines a brief history of how the IRS became a law unto itself and how it has destroyed the lives of ordinary Americans -- many of whom will never recover from their experiences. The horror stories from taxpayers and agency employees that Roth's investigation uncovered elicited a public outcry that demanded immediate action, from Capitol Hill to the White House, and Roth details how these stories translated into specific initiatives that served as the foundation for the actual restructuring legislation.
