Paperback. Condición: Good. Former Senator Gary Hart?s The Republic of Conscience is a meditation on the growing gap between the founding principles of the United States Constitution and our current political landscape. Going back as early as 400 BC, the idea of a true republic has been threatened by narrow, special interests taking precedence over the commonwealth. The United States Constitution was drafted to protect against such corruption, but as Gary Hart details in The Republic of Conscience, America is nowhere near the republic it set out to be almost 250 years ago, falling to the very misconduct it hoped to avoid.   In his latest book, the former Colorado Senator and presidential contender describes ?the increasing gap between purpose and performance? in America, emphasizing how the sense of national interest has become distorted and diluted over time. Focusing on the years after World War II, Hart tackles major American institutions?the military, the CIA, Congress?and outlines how these establishments have led the country away from its founding principles, not closer to them.   Full of original and incisive analysis, The Republic of Conscience is Hart?s examination and remedy for the millions of Americans who feel jaded, confused, and disappointed by their current government. A testament to Hart?s political faith in the founding fathers, this book is one citizen?s attempt to recapture the Republic, and a timely reminder for the next July 4th holiday.…

Paperback. Condición: Good. In Sharon Wang?s thrilling and corporeal geometry, touch dominates, if often in its ?aftermarks?: singes, whiffs, folds of fabric, echoing gestures between bodies. With generous language and quicksilver intelligence, Wang expresses ?a hunger so large it stops the mouth.? Her poems describe what is ?hard and brilliant,? the spaces between objects, and what?s left in the wake of losses. ?Despite its attunement both to elegy and to witness, the mode is praise: ?He loved the world. He loved it suddenly / and without reason.? . . . As the poet works to understand, ?If in fact it wasn?t possible to build / the world anew,? she does build??extravagantly, judiciously, lovingly. The result is a book of radiant integrity.? ? from the judges? citation for the Kundiman Poetry Prize. …

Hardback. Condición: Good. A groundbreaking blueprint on addressing the unaccountable power of digital technology by one of the most promising and cogent voices in law and public policy. The time has come to deal with the unaccountable power of digital technology. Early efforts at regulation have been confused, contradictory, and often counterproductive. Yet no single person or government has a plan of action. In The Digital Republic, acclaimed author and barrister Jamie Susskind tackles one of the biggest political and social questions of our time. He explores how developments in AI, big data, social media, and other technologies are having a profound effect on politics--and what that means for our societies. The Digital Republic is a call for political change, touching on the deepest issues of who we are and what we value most. He takes readers on a journey through a new system of ideas and governance--a digital republic--offering a vision of a world that is freer and fairer than our own. With a truly global outlook, Jamie's work is steeped in the tradition of republican thought, from ancient Greece and Rome to revolutionary France, illuminated by the most charismatic thinkers and ideas in European political history. Inspired by the great political essays of the past, from Rousseau's Social Contract, Mill's On Liberty, and Hamilton and Madison's Federalist Papers, The Digital Republic is a landmark work that will challenge us as we look toward the future.…

Hardback. Condición: Very Good. The love between brothers is key to Matt Tavares's tale of Dominican pitcher Pedro Martínez, from his days of throwing rocks at mangoes to his years as a major-league star. Before Pedro Martínez pitched the Red Sox to a World Series championship, before he was named to the All-Star team eight times, before he won the Cy Young three times, he was a kid from a place called Manoguayabo in the Dominican Republic. Pedro loved baseball more than anything, and his older brother Ramon was the best pitcher he'd ever seen. He'd dream of the day he and his brother could play together in the major leagues--and here, Matt Tavares tells the story of how that dream came true. In a fitting homage to a modern day baseball star, the acclaimed author-illustrator examines both Pedro Martínez's improbable rise to the top of his game and the power that comes from the deep bond between brothers. Tavares, Matt (ilustrador).…

Paperback. Condición: Very Good. Mark R. Levin has made the case, in numerous bestselling books that the principles undergirding our society and governmental system are unraveling. In The Liberty Amendments, he turns to the founding fathers and the constitution itself for guidance in restoring the American republic. The delegates to the 1787 Constitutional Convention and the delegates to each state's ratification convention foresaw a time when the Federal government might breach the Constitution's limits and begin oppressing the people. Agencies such as the IRS and EPA and programs such as Obamacare demonstrate that the Framers' fear was prescient. Therefore, the Framers provided two methods for amending the Constitution. The second was intended for our current circumstances--empowering the states to bypass Congress and call a convention for the purpose of amending the Constitution. Levin argues that we, the people, can avoid a perilous outcome by seeking recourse, using the method called for in the Constitution itself. The Framers adopted ten constitutional amendments, called the Bill of Rights, that would preserve individual rights and state authority. Levin lays forth eleven specific prescriptions for restoring our founding principles, ones that are consistent with the Framers' design. His proposals--such as term limits for members of Congress and Supreme Court justices and limits on federal taxing and spending--are pure common sense, ideas shared by many. They draw on the wisdom of the Founding Fathers--including James Madison, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, and numerous lesser-known but crucially important men--in their content and in the method for applying them to the current state of the nation. Now is the time for the American people to take the first step toward reclaiming what belongs to them. The task is daunting, but it is imperative if we are to be truly free.…

Paperback. Condición: Good. #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * Long before the First Order, before the Empire, before even The Phantom Menace  . . Jedi lit the way for the galaxy in The High Republic It is a golden age. Intrepid hyperspace scouts expand the reach of the Republic to the furthest stars, worlds flourish under the benevolent leadership of the Senate, and peace reigns, enforced by the wisdom and strength of the renowned order of Force users known as the Jedi. With the Jedi at the height of their power, the free citizens of the galaxy are confident in their ability to weather any storm But the even brightest light can cast a shadow, and some storms defy any preparation. When a shocking catastrophe in hyperspace tears a ship to pieces, the flurry of shrapnel emerging from the disaster threatens an entire system. No sooner does the call for help go out than the Jedi race to the scene. The scope of the emergence, however, is enough to push even Jedi to their limit. As the sky breaks open and destruction rains down upon the peaceful alliance they helped to build, the Jedi must trust in the Force to see them through a day in which a single mistake could cost billions of lives. Even as the Jedi battle valiantly against calamity, something truly deadly grows beyond the boundary of the Republic. The hyperspace disaster is far more sinister than the Jedi could ever suspect. A threat hides in the darkness, far from the light of the age, and harbors a secret that could strike fear into even a Jedi's heart.…
