In Defense of Women 5 reviews
H. L. Mencken
Arc Manor, 2008
As good as it gets
This is not a book for faint of heart. No one was better at invective than Mencken, and his defense of women is far more of an attack on men than a defense of the "unfair" sex, as Ambrose Bierce signified our better half. Mencken's basic argument goes something like this: women are pretty bad; men are worse; therefore, women are better than men. This is, to be sure, a gross ...

Barack Obama: What He Believes In - From His Own Works 2 reviews
Barack Obama, U.S. Senate

Barack Obama: What He Believes In - From His Own Works
Barack Obama's works in the Senate in 2007 are admirable. They show a picture of a person who has diverse concerns especially in the fields of education, veterans' rights, healthcare, global warming, and poverty here and abroad. I like the way he is able to work with people of both parties, demonstrating that there are many problems concerning us all. . . that it isn't all "hate and hurt" ...

Thomas Paine
Arc Manor, 2008
American Prophecy
This book was originally written as a series of pamphlets starting in 1776. It was crucial in advancing the thought and spirit of the American Revolution to the masses. I found this book to be amazing in how forward thinking the author was. Declaring "The cause of America is in a great measure the cause of all mankind". He spends the first part of the book logically explaining that Monarchy is ...

In Tune With the Infinite: Ralph Waldo Trine's Motivational Classic - Complete Original Text 2 reviews
Ralph Waldo Trine
Arc Manor, 2007
Experience greater, grander portions of creation.
This is a cut above your usual new age/metaphysical writings. First published in 1897 it's clear that Trine was influenced by the thinking of Drummond and Emerson, especially Emerson whom he refers to as 'the inspired one, the seer.....at Concord'. Nowhere have I read such a clear exposition on the practical means of connecting to and harnessing the Divine current that regulates every aspect of ...

Excellent Book, and very moving.
This book is one of those books that have quite an affect on you. By the time I was done I had a bit more of knowledege of how slavery really was. Clearly I had no idea until I read it. I really wanted to cry so many times during the book.

Death-And After1 review
Annie Besant
Arc Manor, 2008
Death is Not so Simple
In this brief, but brilliant, text on the afterlife, the third in a series of Manuals written by Besant and Leadbeater between 1892 and 1896, Besant presents the theosophical perspective on the various stages undergone by the soul after the death of the body. Her writing is clear, focused, and careful as it introduces technical terminology from the Sanskrit. The basic model is straightforward: ...

Russell H. Conwell, Robert Shackleton
Arc Manor, 2008
Regular People Can Accomplish Great Things
At 64 pages from cover-to-cover, "Acres of Diamonds" is probably the shortest book I've read in a long time. Written by Baptist minister and founder of Temple University, Russell H. Conwell, this book originated as one of his sermons, which was so popular that it was published as a book.
"Acres of Diamonds" is based on a parable told to Conwell by an Arab guide during a trip to the Middle ...

The Art of War1 review
Antoine Henri De Jomini
Arc Manor, 2006
The Ultimate Handbook on Military Strategy and Tactics
A much more practical book than Clauswitz's 'On War' - not surprising as Jomini experienced many of Napoleon's campaigns first hand before leaving his service to serve the Russian Tsar. While Clauswitz spends endless pages philosophizing about strategic concepts, Jomini really gets to the heart of practical battlefield strategy and tactics.
This is a really nice looking edition with a ...
