Radical Democracy
C. Douglas Lummis writes as if he were talking with intelligent friends rather than articulating political theory. He reminds us that democracy literally means a political state in which the people (demos) have the power (kratia). The people referred to are not people of a certain class or gender or color. They are, in fact, the poorest and largest body of citizens. Democracy is and always has been the most radical proposal, and constitutes a critique of every sort of centralized power. Lummis distinguishes true democracy from the inequitable incarnations referred to in contemporary liberal usage. He weaves commentary on classic texts with personal anecdotes and reflections on current events...
Disputed Passage
As for the personnel of the class, less than half were newly graduated from the main body of the State University only a mile distant. The rest of them had recently received their degrees—Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science—in colleges of various rating, scattered all the way from the Alleghenies to the Coast. A few of the more gregarious imports had nodded and exchanged casual civilities in the Registrar’s quarters, earlier in the day; but everyone felt himself a stranger in this unfamiliar setting; even the men who had been living for a quadrennium within a ten minutes’ walk of the Medical College campus.
But no matter from how near or far they had come, there wasn’t a per...
William the Conqueror
Both a study of Anglo-Norman history based upon long and detailed research and also the biography of a man whose personal career was spectacular.
Doctor Hudson’s Secret Journal
"Here is the journal which ultimately proved the motive force for The Magnificent Obsession, the journal as it was set down by Doctor Hudson himself. One feels that he must have been a real person (or that at any rate, in his fictional being he represented the personification of someone’s experience and thought). Here we learn whence came the power—the inner strength through which he built spiritual, physical and worldly success. Here we trace the various experiments which proved his own theory. And here too we follow his opinion on a world facing much of what our world is facing today. This gives the book not only the customary hypodermic that Doctor Douglas so ably administers, but a t...
Spoken Cree

Green Light
When Dr. Newell Paige watched his chief commit a fatal error on the operating table, he decided, out of misguided loyalty, to accept the blame. The scandal that followed forced Paige to change his name and flee the medical profession. But Paige fell in love. And the woman, Phyllis Dexter, was the daughter of the patient for whose death he was wrongly held responsible. Then Dean George Harcourt came into Paige’s life. He was the first person to whom Paige could reveal his secret. How this wise and understanding man gave a new purpose to a doctor’s life and love makes Green Light one of Lloyd C. Douglas’ most dramatic novels. Lloyd C. Douglas was an American minister and author born in I...
