$12.95 + S/H	The Unsettling of America: Culture and Agriculture By Wendell Berry With a new Forward by the Author University of California Press Since its original publication in 1977, The Unsettling of America has been recognized as a classic of American letters. In it, Wendell Berry argues that good farming is a cultural development and spiritual discipline. But today's agribusiness takes farming out of its cultural context and away from families, and as a nation we are thus more estranged from the land - from the intimate knowledge, love, and care of it Sadly, as Berry notes in this edition, his arguments and observations are even more relevant than ever. We continue to suffer loss of community, the devaluation of human work, and the destruction of nature under an economics dedicated to the mechanistic pursuit of products and profits. Although "this book has not had the happy fate of being proved wrong," Berry writes, there are good people working "to make something comely and enduring of our life on this earth." Wendell Berry is one of those people, writing and working, as ever, with passion, eloquence, and conviction. Wendell Berry - writer, poet, teacher, naturalist, and farmer - is the author of many notable works, including The Gift of Good Land; Sex, Economy, Freedom and Community; and Fidelity. He and his family live - and farm - in Port Royal, Kentucky. Ix plus 234 pages ~ Paperback only, #B327PB, $12.95. Quantity:

$27.95 + S/H	The Long Truce: How Toleration Made the World Safe for Power and Profit (2001) By A.J. Conyers (Spence Publishing) Conyers shows that the principle of toleration, as formulated over the last four centuries, is the bulwark of social harmony as many believe. Toleration, by banishing questions of ultimate meaning from public life, has aided the consolidation of power in the state while dissolving the loyalties that bound men to their church, their family, and the other intermediate institutions. Toleration produced the current "by-polar society," in which the isolated citizen confronts the unmediated power of the state. In its present form, toleration is not a virtue but a strategy for the relentless imposition of secularism in the service of power and profit. He presents a more authentic model in Christianity that preached humility rather than indifference. A.J. Conyers is a professor at the George W. Truett Theological Seminary at Baylor University in Waco, Texas. 282 pages ~ Hardcover only, #B126HC, $27.95. Quantity:

$35.00 + S/H	Reassessing the Presidency: The Rise of the Executive State and the Decline of Freedom (2001) Edited by John V. Denson (Mises Institute) These twenty-five essays assert that Constitutional history indicates that the Founders intended for Congress to be the dominant branch of the federal government that was then very limited in scope and power. It was never to dominate the states but to exercise only the powers delegated to it by the states. Today the federal executive has become, by far, the dominant branch of government even to the point that it is the main threat and destroyer of the liberty and freedoms once enjoyed by American citizens.

$28.00 + S/H	America's Caesar: The Decline and Fall of Republican Government in the United States of America ~ Second Edition, Revised (2001) By Greg Loren Durand ~ Forward by J. Michael Hill (Crown Rights) America is no longer the land of the free. In Senate Report 93-549, the U.S. Congress made the astonishing admission that, since at least 9 March 1933, the American people have lived under a state of national emergency (martial law). Instead of a federal government of delegated and limited powers, is a centralised military despotism that claims ultimate sovereignty over its citizens and rules them by statue in all cases whatsoever. Beginning with the usurpations of Abraham Lincoln, he tells how the so-called emergency powers of the President of the United States developed over a period of seven decades and culminated in the virtual supplanting of the Constitution by Franklin Delano Roosevelt's New Deal democracy. 570 pages ~ Over-sized paperback only, #B142PB, $28.00.

$19.95 + S/H	Why Not Freedom: America's Revolt Against Big Government (1995) By James R. Kennedy & Walter D. Kennedy (Pelican Press) Little did the forefathers of the United States know the extent to which their planning and earnest effort could go astray in our day. A growing number of Americans, shocked at the loss of their inherent liberties and hard-earned monies, are wondering how big government could have gained such control over the people of this country. The fact is, we are not as free as our forefathers were. We are not "free" because we are not "enjoying political independence or freedom from outside domination." In spite of the separation of powers established by the Constitution, many of our current laws are written by bureaucrats, administered by them, and finally judged by them; yet, they are in opposition to those freedoms set forth by the Constitution! These authors explore twenty-four examples of constitutional usurpation. James Ronald Kennedy was commander for the Louisiana division of the Sons of Confederate Veterans for the years 1989-92. Walter Donald is past commander for the Louisiana division of the Sons of Confederate Veterans and the recipient of the Distinguished Service Medal of the National Sons of Confederate Veterans.

$9.95 + S/H	Help! They're Still Shootin' At Us: Defending Southern Heritage Against Shark Arracks by the Press By Tim D. Manning, Sr. (North Carolina Heritage Press: 2002) After the death of Jack Purdue (the victim of the Greensboro 's News & Record attack that killed him,) Manning wrote an essay on the history of U.S. warfare against Southern civilian populations and sent it to the High Point Enterprise, another Triad newspaper. As a result they called for an FBI investigation into Manning and all other Southern Heritage groups calling them "hate groups" and "domestic terrorists." Manning then wrote a second essay trying to humanize their contact with him and elaborating on his first essay about U.S. warfare against civilian populations of other sovereign nations. There are many lessons other heritage groups can learn from this encounter and much to learn about U.S. warfare against innocent civilian populations. 87 pages ~ Loose-leaf Bound, #B299LL, $9.95.

$20.65 + S/H	Confederates in the Board Room By Michael Tuggle, Traveller Press Foreword by Dr. Clyde Wilson Despite revolutionary developments in communications and information technology, the 19th and 20th century notion of centralised control continues to hold back social, educational, and political progress. The belief that nothing can be accomplished without top-down imposition still justifies an overgrown bureaucracy more interested in its own survival than the good of the people it supposedly serves. A new revolution is challenging centralised control, and it is changing the way we work. From self-managed teams, to XP (Extreme Programming), to RAPP (Rapid Project Planning), a fresh approach bypasses hidebound standard operating procedures and top-down control in favor of spontaneous self-organisation and dispersed decision-making authority - the confederal approach. This new way, surprisingly, is based on traditional insights rediscovered by Organisational Science, a multi-disciplinary field that's being redefined by groundbreaking discoveries in Complex Systems studies. These discoveries reveal that the underlying structures within all complex, self-organised systems recur throughout nature, something traditional philosophers and theologians understood long ago. The political ramifications of this new view, born from both the life and mechanical sciences, as well as spiritual and philosophical insights, are just beginning to be felt. Libertarians, conservatives, Southern traditionalists, communitarians, and community activists all over the political spectrum long frustrated by remote, unsympathetic bureaucracy will recognize a much-needed new direction in this highly readable and challenging book. 185 Pages, ~ Hard Cover Only, #B328HC, Our Price $20.65.
