Air/Missile Defense, Counterproliferation and Security Policy Planning: Implications for Collaboration Between the United States and the Gulf Co-Operation Council Countriesby Charles M. Perry, Jacquelyn K. Davis, Jamal S. Al-SuwaidiISBN 1860644910 (1-86064-491-0)

› Find signed collectible books: 'Air/Missile Defense, Counterproliferation and Security Policy Planning: Implications for Collaboration Between the United States and the Gulf Co-Operation Council Countries'Book summary:The essays in this volume are based on presentations originally delivered at a workshop entitled "Air/Missile Defense, Counter-proliferation and Security Policy Planning: Implications for Collaboration Between the United Arab Emirates, the United States, and the Gulf Co-operation Council (GCC) Countries." This meeting was organized by the Emirates Center for Strategic Studies and Research (ECSSR) and the Institute for Foreign Policy Analysis (IFPA), and held in Abu Dhabi, UAE in March 1998. Each of the papers was substantially revised and updated in the Fall of 1998 to reflect the most current developments. The volume as a whole provides a realistic and comprehensive assessment of current and evolving air and missile threats confronting the GCC countries, highlighting the impact of missile and weapons of mass destruction (WMD) proliferation trends on the balance of power in the Arabian Gulf region. It also reviews current US concepts of operation for air/missile defense coordination, and proposes policies for future UAE and GCC security planning. The range of benefits associated with a regional approach to air and missile defense are explored, together with the question of how expanded air/missile defense cooperation in the region fits into a broader geopolitical framework.[via]More editions of Air/Missile Defense, Counterproliferation and Security Policy Planning: Implications for Collaboration Between the United States and the Gulf Co-Operation Council Countries:

The American Revolution: Writings from the War of Independenceby John RhodehamelISBN 1883011914 (1-883011-91-4)
Hardcover, Penguin USA
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'The American Revolution: Writings from the War of Independence'Book summary:Drawn from letters, diaries, newspaper articles, public declarations, contemporary narratives, and private memoranda, The American Revolution brings together over 120 pieces by more than 70 participants to create a unique literary panorama of the War of Independence. From Paul Revere's own narrative of his ride in April 1775 to an account of George Washington's resignation from command of the Army in December 1783, the volume presents firsthand all the major events of the conflict-the early battles of Lexington, Concord, and Bunker Hill; the failed American invasion of Canada; the battle of Saratoga; the fighting in the South and along the western frontier; and the decisive triumph at Yorktown.
Famous figures-Washington, Franklin, Jefferson, Benedict Arnold, John and Abigail Adams-are here alongside lesser known participants like Samuel Blachley Webb describing courage and panic at Bunker Hill or Sarah Hodgkins writing longingly to her absent soldier husband. American Loyalists and British officers and officials serving in America provide provocative insights into the losing side of an epochal conflict.
The American Revolution includes a chronology of events, biographical and explanatory notes, and an index. [via]More editions of The American Revolution: Writings from the War of Independence:

American Speeches: Political Oratory from Abraham Lincoln to Bill ClintonISBN 1931082979 (1-931082-97-9)
Hardcover, Library of America
Find This BookBook summary:Public speeches have profoundly shaped American history and culture, transforming not only our politics but also our language and our sense of national identity. This volume (the second of an unprecedented two-volume collection) gathers the unabridged texts of 83 eloquent and dramatic speeches delivered by 45 American public figures between 1865 and 1997, beginning with Abraham Lincoln's last speech on Reconstruction and ending with Bill Clinton's heartfelt tribute to the Little Rock Nine. During this period American political oratory continued to evolve, as a more conversational style, influenced by the intimacy of radio and television, emerged alongside traditional forms of rhetoric.
Included are speeches on Reconstruction by Thaddeus Stevens and African-American congressman Robert Brown Elliott, Frederick Douglass's brilliant oration on Abraham Lincoln, and Oliver Wendell Holmes's "touched with fire" Memorial Day Address. Speeches by Robert Ingersoll and William Jennings Bryan capture the fervor of 19th-century political conventions, while Theodore Roosevelt and Carl Schurz offer opposing views on imperialism. Ida B. Wells and Mary Church Terrell denounce the cruelty of lynching and the injustice of Jim Crow; Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and Carrie Chapman Catt advocate the enfranchisement of women; and Woodrow Wilson and Henry Cabot Lodge present conflicting visions of the League of Nations.
Also included are wartime speeches by George Patton and Dwight Eisenhower; an address on the atomic bomb by J. Robert Oppenheimer; Richard Nixon's "Checkers Speech"; Malcolm X's "The Ballot or the Bullet"; Barry Goldwater's speech to the 1964 Republican convention; Mario Savio urging Berkeley students to stop "the machine"; Barbara Jordan defending the Constitution during Watergate; and an extensive selection of speeches by Franklin Roosevelt, Martin Luther King, John F. Kennedy, and Ronald Reagan.
Each volume contains biographical and explanatory notes, and an index. [via]

The Chomsky Trilogy: Secrets, Lies and Democracy/the Prosperous Few and the Restless Many/What Uncle Sam Really Wantsby Noam ChomskyISBN 1878825070 (1-878825-07-0)

Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'The Chomsky Trilogy: Secrets, Lies and Democracy/the Prosperous Few and the Restless Many/What Uncle Sam Really Wants'Book summary:The Real Story Series is based on a simple idea--political books don't have to be boring. Short, well-written and to the point, Real Story books are meant to be read.
In these fact-filled, illusion-shattering masterpieces, the man the "New York Times" called "arguably the most important intellectual alive," explains why "what the public wants is called 'politically unrealistic.' Translated into English, that means power and privilege are opposed to it."
Normally somewhat difficult to read, Chomsky is at his most accessible in his speeches and interviews, and that's what these books are compiled from. Here are some examples of what he has to tell you:
In 1970, about 90% of international capital was used for trade and long-term investment-more or less productive things--and 10% reserved for speculation. By 1990, those figures were reversed.
Haiti, a starving island, is exporting food to the U.S.--about 35 times as much under Clinton as under Bush.
The gap between how much income is held by the richest and poorest 20? has increased dramatically over the past 30 years--about double for rich vs. poor countries and far more for rich vs. poor people. [via]

Civil Disobedienceby Henry David ThoreauISBN 1892295938 (1-892295-93-8)
Softcover, Green Integer
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Civil Disobedience'Book summary:One of the most important texts of American political thought, Civil Disobediance eloquently states a position that has influenced the thinking of Gandhi, Martin Luther King, and many figures of the protests in the 1960s against the Vietnam War. Thoreau argues that "the progress from an absolute to a limited monarchy, from a limited monarchy to a democracy, is a progress toward a true respect for the individual." "There will never be a really free and enlightened State until the State comes to recognize the individual as a higher and independent power, from which all its own power and authority are derived, and treats him accordingly."[via]
Author of Walden, Thoreau is one of the 19th century's great American thinkers.More editions of Civil Disobedience:

Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'The Clash of Orthodoxies: Law, Religion, and Morality in Crisis'Book summary:In The Clash of Orthodoxies: Law, Religion, and Morality in Crisis, Robert George tackles the issues at the heart of the contemporary conflict of worldviews. Secular liberals typically suppose that their positions on morally charged issues of public policy are the fruit of pure reason, while those of their morally conservative opponents reflect an irrational religious faith. George shows that this supposition is wrong on both counts. Challenging liberalism's claim to represent the triumph of reason, George argues that on controversial issues like abortion, euthanasia, same-sex unions, civil rights and liberties, and the place of religion in public life, traditional Judaeo-Christian beliefs are rationally superior to secular liberal alternatives. The Clash of Orthodoxies will shock liberals out of an unwarranted complacency and provide powerful ammunition for embattled defenders of traditional morality. [via]

Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'The Confessions'Book summary:Pierre d'angle de la théologie et de la métaphysique occidentale, la Cité de Dieu est, avec Les Confessions (également édité en Pléiade par l'équipe de Lucien Jerphagnon), le deuxième livre-clé de saint Augustin. Si le premier relatait les étapes de sa conversion à la foi chrétienne, le second offre, pour la première fois, une véritable théologie de l'histoire. Sa rédaction, qui prendra treize années, s'enracine dans un événement tragique : la chute de Rome. En 410, en effet, la Ville éternelle est pillée par les barbares d'Alaric. L'onde de choc est immense et saint Jérôme écrit: "l'univers s'écroule." Si rien n'a pu protéger Rome, pas même les reliques des martyrs et les tombeaux des saints, où trouver alors de la protection ? Partant de cette interrogation, saint Augustin élargit le débat. Il réfute d'abord, avec une ironie souvent cinglante, la thèse païenne d'un drame suscité par l'abandon des anciens cultes puis élabore sa doctrine des deux cités. Deux cités, deux citoyennetés spirituelles, qui renvoient à deux royaumes, celui de la terre (symbole de la gloire passagère) et celui de Dieu (symbole de la sagesse éternelle) et dont l'affrontement résume l'histoire des hommes. Un face-à-face qu'il définit dans la phrase célèbre : "Deux amours ont bâti deux cités : celle de la terre par l'amour de soi jusqu'au mépris de Dieu, celle du ciel par l'amour de Dieu jusqu'au mépris de soi." Des vingt-deux livres de ce traité sortira toute la philosophie de l'histoire jusqu'à Hegel et Nietzsche. --François Angelier [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Emergent Publics: An Essay on Social Movements and Democracy'Book summary:Recently, much of the Left has shifted emphasis away from issues of class, toward "democracy." Indeed, democracy is now emerging as an overarching label for the goals of anti-globalization activists. What is the relationship between such social movements and democracy? In Emergent Publics, Ian Angus wrests the concept of democracy away from the notion that the citizen's only real activity is voting, and argues for a radical and participatory model. This short and accessible book looks back to the roots of democratic institutions, showing how they originated in social movements and the new forms of communication and interaction within those movements.

Hamilton: Writingsby Alexander Hamilton, Joanne B. FreemanISBN 1931082049 (1-931082-04-9)
Hardcover, Library of America
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Hamilton: Writings'Book summary:One of the most vivid, influential, and controversial figures of the American founding, Alexander Hamilton was an unusually prolific and vigorous writer. As a military aide to George Washington, forceful critic of the Articles of Confederation, persuasive proponent of ratification of the Constitution, first Secretary of the Treasury, and leader of the Federalist party, Hamilton devoted himself to the creation of a militarily and economically powerful American nation guided by a strong republican government. His public and private writings demonstrate the perceptive intelligence, confident advocacy, driving ambition, and profound concern for honor and reputation that contributed both to his rise to fame and to his tragic early death.
Arranged chronologically, Writings contains more than 170 letters, speeches, essays, reports, and memoranda written between 1769 and 1804. Included are all 51 of Hamilton's contributions to The Federalist, as well as subsequent writing calling for a broad construction of federal power under the Constitution; his famous speech to the Constitutional Convention, which gave rise to accusations that he favored monarchy; early writings supporting the Revolutionary cause and a stronger central government; his visionary reports as Treasury secretary on the public credit, a national bank, and the encouragement of American manufactures; a detailed confession of adultery made by Hamilton in order to defend himself against charges of official misconduct; and his self- destructive attack on John Adams during the 1800 campaign. An extensive selection of private letters illuminates Hamilton's complex relationship with George Washington, his deep affection for his wife and children, his mounting fears during the 1790s regarding the Jeffersonian opposition and the French Revolution, and his profound distrust of Aaron Burr. Included in an appendix are conflicting eyewitness accounts of the Hamilton-Burr duel.
Joanne Freeman is the editor. [via]More editions of Hamilton: Writings:

The Jungleby Upton Beall Sinclair, Earl Lee, Kathleen De GraveISBN 1884365302 (1-884365-30-2)
Softcover, See Sharp Pr
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'The Jungle'Book summary:For nearly a century, the original version of Upton Sinclair's classic novel has remained almost entirely unknown. When it was published in serial form in 1905, it was a full third longer than the censored, commercial edition published in book form the following year. That expurgated commercial edition edited out much of the ethnic flavor of the original, as well as some of the goriest descriptions of the meat-packing industry and much of Sinclair's most pointed social and political commentary. The text of this new edition is as it appeared in the original uncensored edition of 1905. It contains the full 36 chapters as originally published, rather than the 31 of the expurgated edition. A new foreword describes the discovery in the 1980s of the original edition and its subsequent suppression, and a new introduction places the novel in historical context by explaining the pattern of censorship in the shorter commercial edition.[via]More editions of The Jungle:

Social Justice in Islamby Sayyid Qutb, Hamid Algar, John B. HardieISBN 1889999113 (1-889999-11-3)
Softcover, Islamic Pubns Intl
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Social Justice in Islam'Book summary:"Social Justice in Islam" is perhaps the best known work of Sayyib Qutb, a leading figure in the Muslim Brethen of Egypt who was executed by the regime of 'Abd al-Nasr in 1966. Despite the years that have passed since Sayyid Qutb's death, the imprint of his thought on the contemporary Islamic movements of the Arab world remains profound. The Arabic original of "Social Justice in Islam" was first published in 1949, but this book in particular retains its relevance in many respects: the persistence of gross socio-economic inequality in most Muslim societies; the need for viewing Islam as a totality, imperatively demanding comprehensive implementation; and the depiction of the West as a neo-Crusading force.

Tethered Citizens: Time to Repeal the Welfare Stateby Sheldon RichmanISBN 1890687022 (1-890687-02-2)
Softcover, Future of Freedom Foundation
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Tethered Citizens: Time to Repeal the Welfare State'Book summary:"How tethered are you?" That's what Sheldon Richman starts out asking in this indispensable book laying bare "the theory and practice of the welfare state."
Chances are Richman's answer will widen the eyes even of those who think they're familiar with the welfare states milestones, such as the New Deal. The author digs deeper, unearthing not just milestones but also the very foundation stones of the welfare state. And he shows how deeply welfare-state thinking has penetrated American society.
Richman unmasks the conceptual trickery inherent in the term "welfare," explains who benefits and who loses from it, and exploring democracy's dark side -- reveals how wrong it is to claim that the electorate has deliberately voted the welfare state into place. Moreover, he exposes the fraud of recent welfare "reform."
As the author demonstrates, "welfare" isn't just for the poor. It never has been. Two of the foundation stones Richman examines are Bismarckian Germany's "social insurance," which went hand in hand with protection for industry, and post-Civil War America's vast system of veterans pensions, which came in handy for buying votes. And as for the "poor" themselves, readers will discover how hard it is to say, objectively, just who they are.
What distinguishes Richman's account of the welfare state is his own consistent adherence to a philosophy of reason and individual rights. He doesn't compromise -- and he sees clearly how others who would defend freedom have compromised, and fatally. The author doesn't confine himself to attacking welfarism; he also demonstrates the virtue and power of individualism, property, and competition. Richman shows that economic competition is nothing more or less than peaceful cooperation in a climate of freedom.
Thanks to Sheldon Richman, collectivists are going to sound like Flat Earthers the next time they talk about "atomistic individualism." Richman's ingenious and unforgettable riposte -- "molecular individualism" -- is only one example of how this exciting book untethers the mind. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'We Are Iran'Book summary:In September 2001, a young Iranian journalist, Hossein Derakhshan, created one of the first weblogs in Farsi. When he also devised a simple how-to-blog guide for Iranians, it unleashed a torrent of hitherto unheard opinions. There are now 64,000 blogs in Farsi, and Nasrin Alavi has painstakingly reviewed them all, weaving the most powerful and provocative into a striking picture of the flowering of dissent in Iran. From one bloggers blasting of the Supreme Leader as a pimp to anothers mourning for an identity crushed by the stifling protection of her male relatives, this collection functions not only as an archive of Iranians thoughts on their country, culture, religion, and the rest of the world, but also as an alternative recent history of Iran. Government crackdowns may soon still these voices in February 2005, one blogger was sentenced to 14 years in jail and We Are Iran may serve as the only serious record of their existence.[via]More editions of We Are Iran:

› Find signed collectible books: 'The Zinn Reader: Writings on Disobedience and Democracy'Book summary:No other radical historian has reached so many hearts and minds as Howard Zinn. It is rare that a historian of the Left has managed to retain as much credibility while refusing to let his academic mantle change his beautiful writing style from being anything but direct, forthright, and accessible. Whether his subject is war, race, politics, economic justice, or history itself, each of his works serves as a reminder that to embrace one's subjectivity can mean embracing one's humanity, that heart and mind can speak with one voice. Here, in six sections, is the historian's own choice of his shorter essays on some of the most critical problems facing America throughout its history, and today. [via]

Apres L'empire: Essai Sur La Decomposition Du Systeme Americainby Emmanuel ToddISBN 2070767108 (2-07-076710-8)
Hardcover, Gallimard
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Apres L'empire: Essai Sur La Decomposition Du Systeme Americain'Book summary:Le déclin de l'Empire américain aura-t-il lieu ? Oui, répond le démographe Emmanuel Todd dans ce brillant essai à contre-courant des idées reçues sur "l'hyper-puissance" de l'Amérique. Cette hypothèse est fondée sur le constat suivant : les États-Unis ne peuvent plus vivre de leur seule production : "Au moment même où le monde [...] est sur le point de découvrir qu'il peut se passer de l'Amérique, l'Amérique s'aperçoit qu'elle ne peut plus se passer du monde." Et le chercheur de s'appuyer avec brio sur une batterie de données empruntées aussi bien à l'économie qu'à la démographie, à l'anthropologie qu'à la géostratégie pour étayer sa thèse.
Dépendance économique, affaiblissement démocratique, tels sont donc les principaux symptômes de déclin identifiés par l'historien qui, en 1976, avait prévu l'effondrement soviétique uniquement sur des observations démographiques. Des signes qui permettent de comprendre dans un mouvement qui n'est paradoxal qu'en apparence pourquoi les États-Unis sont aussi actifs sur la scène internationale. Pour conserver symboliquement le statut de superpuissance qu'elle s'est, de fait, acquise depuis la fin de la Seconde Guerre mondiale jusqu'à l'effondrement de l'empire soviétique, l'Amérique doit mettre en scène sa puissance sur le terrain géostratégique. Selon trois principes : ne jamais résoudre définitivement un problème ; se focaliser sur des micropuissances ; développer un arsenal militaire censé être indépassable. La lutte contre le terrorisme, les menaces contre "l'axe du mal" et l'Irak apparaissent ainsi pour ce qu'ils sont : des prétextes.
Bien sûr, il ne s'agit pas pour Emmanuel Todd de négliger les dangers du terrorisme international et les menaces qu'il fait peser sur le monde. Il s'agit de comprendre comment les États-Unis sont devenus en moins de dix ans un obstacle à la paix dans le monde. Et de dessiner les contours d'un monde dans lequel l'Amérique sera certes toujours une grande puissance mais une parmi d'autres.--Yves Fraillont [via]More editions of Apres L'empire: Essai Sur La Decomposition Du Systeme Americain:
