Constitutions

Photography and Text by Pete Souza

Triumph Books, 2008

One for the Ages
The photographs by Pete Souza in the fascinating collection "The Rise of Barack Obama" tell us much about Obama, more than what is expressed in the depth of his expressions: his wisdom, compassion, concern, dilemmas, and his hope. These poignant, spontaneous photos ...

The Reagan I Knew

William F. Buckley Jr.

Basic Books, 2008

If you're a Reagan and a Buckley fan, you will love this book
Excellent book--makes me like and respect Ronald Reagan even more. Reagan was wittier and funnier than I thought. I only wish I had paid more attention to him while he was President of the United States; however, I was in my 20's and didn't care beans about politics ...

The Revolution: A Manifesto

Ron Paul

Grand Central Publishing, 2008

Ron Paul is brilliant...
I am 20 years old, and first stumbled upon Ron Paul back when he originally declared his intent to run for President. I'd heard his name before, and immediately began seeing "Who is Ron Paul?" chalked all around campus. I always considered myself "conservative," but ...

The Invisible Constitution (Inalienable Rights)

Laurence H. Tribe

Oxford University Press, USA, 2008

excellent and informative
I've finally found it!!! The book more soporific than my dissertation!!! Let me begin my review by saying that, as more an expansionist than a textualist like his colleague from Yale Law, Tribe presents a most agreeable argument to me. Basically, it is argued that ...

Barack Obama in His Own Words

Barack Obama

PublicAffairs, 2007

Barack Obama in His Own Words
This book is a good mirror into the thinking of Mr. Obama. Much of what is in the book is what he says on the campaign trail, which makes him a very credible candidate for President of the United States od America. Quotes are taken from printed and electronic media ...

Jesus for President: Politics for Ordinary Radicals

Shane Claiborne, Chris Haw

Zondervan, 2008

Every Christian should read this
Shane Claiborne shares the Gospel as it was meant to be and makes truly following Christ (and not our corrupt society) desirable. He clearly separates what "Christianity" has become from what Christ and the early church fathers intended. Every person that calls ...

We the People: The Story of Our Constitution

Lynne Cheney

Simon & Schuster Children's Publishing, 2008

Well written
Although written for an elementary level, the story of the constitution by Mrs. Cheney was interesting and well written for all ages. A good picture of the struggles and authenticity of the writers of the constitution. Recommended for any age reader.

The Faith of Barack Obama

Stephen Mansfield

Thomas Nelson, 2008

The Faith of Barack Obama
Early in the Introduction to The Faith of Barack Obama, Mansfield hooked me, and I kept reading nonstop. What occurred to me quickly is this: We, the people of America, have made religious faith an issue in this campaign. In particular, the Republican party has made ...

David Freddoso

Regnery Publishing, 2008

Written by political reporter for National Review Online, David Freddoso
Writers who can put together an argument either in favor of or against a political candidate seem to surface around presidential election time. This book is a one sided viewpoint written by political reporter for National Review Online, David Freddoso, The Case Against ...

What Do We Do Now?: A Workbook for the President-elect
Stephen Hess

Brookings Institution Press, 2008

The period from Election Day to Inauguration Day in America seems impossibly short. Newly elected U.S. presidents have less than eleven weeks to construct a new government composed of supporters and strangers, hailing from all parts of the nation. This unique and daunting process always involves at least some mistakes in hiring, perhaps, or in ...

America's Secular Challenge: The Rise of a New National Religion (Brief Encounters)

Herbert London

Encounter Books, 2008

A necessary insight
Most people in the United States appear to have no idea what secular humanism is, even though they are surrounded by it every day. It is the only religion for many people, but they often cannot even recognize it as a belief system. This book is short and easy to ...

What Is the World Made Of? All About Solids, Liquids, and Gases (Let's-Read-and-Find-Out Science, Stage 2)

Kathleen Weidner Zoehfeld, Paul Meisel

HarperTrophy, 1998

Wonderful teaching tool!
My son received this when he was almost 4, and understood the concepts of solid, liquid, and gases by 4.5yo! This describes the concepts in such a way that youngsters can easily understand, but won't bore older children. I would highly recommend this book, along with ...

The Complete Idiot's Guide to American Government, Second Edition

Mary M. Shaffrey, Melanie Fonder

Alpha, 2005

Excellent
The book was a little more worn that I expected, but still in good condition, especially for the price I paid for it. Very quick shipping, thanks a bunch!

The U.S. Constitution: And Fascinating Facts About It

Terry L. Jordan

Oak Hill Publishing Company, 1999

What's a matter with you. Not having a knowledge of the US Constitution????
Get this. It's thorough. I read it many times over. It keeps things in perspective of where we should be as a nation. Sigh! Tom
