This is a book every American should read!             The Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States of America48 reviews Cato Institute, 2000 Must for All Americans You must read the Declaration of Independence, if you call yourself an American. An American citizen must know his or her political heritage before honestly calling him-herself and American. It is a masterpiece as well.             The Partly Cloudy Patriot69 reviews Sarah Vowell Simon & Schuster, 2003 Sarah Vowels most Engaging Book I knew Sarah Vowell's voice and style from episodes of This American Life on NPR. However, I picked up this book knowing nothing about it, just on a recommendation from a friend. It took me a few essays in to really start to get into it, but once I did I was hooked. Sarah Vowell's writing is both precise and conversational at the same time. I found myself devouring essays about political ...             American Original: The Life and Constitution of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia4 reviews Joan Biskupic Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2009 Another Blockbuster Biography American Original is the latest judicial biography by the insightful and talented Joan Biskupic.

C. Gutzman Regnery Publishing, Inc., 2007 A very influential short history of the Constitution and judicial decisions This book is unique in many respects - it is a serious, scholarly study on the history of the Constitution, its ratification, the discussions leading to the creation of the document, and a very concise history of its debasement by the Judicial branch of the government, the purported keepers of the integrity of its intentions and the rights it guaranteed for the States and the People. It is also ...             The U.S. Constitution: And Fascinating Facts About It29 reviews Terry L. Jordan Oak Hill Publishing Company, 1999 Great little book Any book that covers the U.S. Constitution is, in my considered opinion, worth having. This one is no exception. There is quite a bit of trivia information, which is delightfull and informative, at the begining of the book. The Constitution, no matter how it is reviewed, is still the Constitution. Each book written about it may have it's own take on the wording, but the wording of the ...             The Making of America: The Substance and Meaning of the Constitution37 reviews W. Cleon Skousen National Center for Constitutional Studies, 1985 A textbook for your home - your children won't get this education in school... Contrast the sound content of this 1985 textbook to textbooks whose content is always in a state of flux - always being revamped in new editions ostensibly to stay abreast of the latest developments in their subject matter (but more likely in order to stay ahead of students' reselling and sharing last semester's edition). This is a textbook the likes of which your children will never get in ...             If We Can Put a Man on the Moon: Getting Big Things Done in Government8 reviews William D. Eggers, John O'Leary Harvard Business School Press, 2009 Really a likeable book, refreshingly real, readable, and (fun?!) I've worked in both government and private sectors, and this book gets the differences - the nuances, the reality of digging in and solving problems versus labeling it all just plain broken. It does so with tough love. I enjoyed both the big idea themes and the language (and humorous asides, eg, "Your dreams will be crushed along with the Prius hybrid in the garage," and Japan's public sector ...             Welcome to Obamaland: I Have Seen Your Future and It Doesn't Work39 reviews James Delingpole Regnery Press, 2008 You know when a book deserves credit.... ... when all the most negative reviews (look for yourself) reference GW Bush. Those libs just can't stand seeing Obama's policies slammed without getting their digs in on GW. I bought the book because of the boneheads who gave it the most unfavorable reviews.             Original Intent: The Courts, the Constitution, & Religion98 reviews David Barton Wallbuilder Press, 2008 the documentation speaks for itself It is hard to argue with the founders own words. For Pete's sake, the Declaration itself proclaims that it is God who has created all men equal. The men who signed it, and helped write it, most definitely believed that man's rights derived from God and that God wanted all men to live in liberty and happiness. The founders stated numerous times that without the moral foundation that is in the ...             The Cartoon History of the Modern World Part 1: From Columbus to the U.S. Constitution (Pt. 1)26 reviews Larry Gonick Collins Reference, 2007 The Author remarks: The references and asides to modern international problems were not gratuitous, as some readers seem to believe. The point is that certain considerations and dynamics recur throughout history. I guess those of you who complained don't agree with my assessment our recent administration's handling of those dynamics. In that case, you'll have even more to complain about in Part 2. To those who ...             Plato: Republic28 reviews Plato, G. M. A. Grube, ... Hackett Publishing Company, 1992 who am I to even rate this book? I spent over a month reading this book carefully as I am a complete beginner in philosophy, and honestly it was rather intimidating at first, but I found the experience surprisingly manageable and pleasant not to mention educational. I also read the introduction before reading this book, and Sparknote afterwards to make sure I understood most of the main ideas, which was helpful. This was a ...             The Revolution: A Manifesto851 reviews Ron Paul Grand Central Publishing, 2008 This guy is brilliant & honest. Dr. Paul has written an amazing book. I will never look at government the same way. His thinking is incisive and his writing is to the point and right on. He reminded me of long ago when I was a boy, how I thought Americans were supposed to behave and take care of themselves. Both the Repubs and the Dems are taking away our liberty.             What Is the World Made Of? All About Solids, Liquids, and Gases (Let's-Read-and-Find-Out Science, Stage 2)10 reviews Kathleen Weidner Zoehfeld, Paul Meisel Collins, 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 other books in the "Let's-Read-And-Find-Out Science" series.             Plain, Honest Men: The Making of the American Constitution23 reviews Richard Beeman Random House, 2009 Excellent, Unbiased, Comprehensive Beeman is a highly respected scholar and expert on the Constitution, the Convention during which it was drafted, and the intellectual foundations of the document. This popular, but also scholarly, treatment of the Constitutional Convention is thorough, balanced, and should be on the reading list of anyone who wants to really understand what went on during the three-month-long convention in ...             We the People: The Story of Our Constitution39 reviews Lynne Cheney Simon & Schuster Children's Publishing, 2008 Just What I was Looking For I was looking for a book to help teach my 9 year old grandaughter about the Constitution and Bill of Rights. This book explained why the Constitution was drafted and how difficult a process it was. The illustrations are beautiful.             Jesus for President: Politics for Ordinary Radicals50 reviews Shane Claiborne, Chris Haw Zondervan, 2008 What Christianity Is About You should have no false expections of Christianity after you read this book.
