It is a question everyone embarking upon his or her journey through life must face, namely, how can I live a happy life in the face of a world indiff erent at best and sometimes hostile? In this brilliant new book, Upward Journey, George Tomezsko poses this question and proceeds to answer it via a series of essays wherein he dares to dance the tide and defi es the forces of political correctness with a smile on his face, resolve in his heart, and clarity of mind. This veritable feast of ideas is a real treat for a soul looking to go beyond contemporary and fashionable opinions in search of real comfort, hope and inspiration. As such, it serves as a nice introduction to the fi eld of philosophy.
Flawed Foundings should interest students of government who are curious to learn how healthy republics can be set up and maintained. It should also appeal to conservatives concerned about the decline of manners and morals, and the growth of government, here in the United States. The book offers a unique prescription on how to tackle these problems. Lastly, and most importantly, the work is intended to be wider than that, and posits a possible solution to the political problems of modern man in general. As such, it serves as a nice introduction into the study of political philosophy.
Fully Occupied Years (Book ID 91049) should interest the former employees of BIOSIS, the company whose history is given in these pages. But it should also capture the attention of a wider audience. By providing the history of this once-major information provider, the book offers a fascinating glimpse into the history of the information industry in the years leading up to the Internet Age. As such, the book should prove valuable to those interested in economic history. NOTE: this book is available in ebook format!
Gird Yourselves For This Great Effort is intended to be read as a story of resistance that happens to be true. The heroes of the story are the people of the Shenandoah Valley who hoped for and dared all in their struggle for independence. In 1864, as powerful Union armies laid waste to the Valley, Confederate forces, with the support of many Valley residents, battled valiantly against overwhelming odds. Their story should offer inspiration to all who, in the present era, oppose the rampant internationalism that is the hallmark of elite opinion. This book should, therefore, capture the attention of not only historians but of anyone with an interest in the War Between the States. Five fictional short stories at the end add a note of poignancy to the book and nicely complement the history detailed on earlier pages.
An Afternoon in May is the true story of four companies of heroes. In May of 1864 the Corps of Cadets, mostly teenagers, from the Virginia Military Institute helped turn the tide of battle at an obscure Virginia town called New Market. Though little-known outside the South, their story is arguably one of the most compelling military stories in American history. This book should, therefore, capture the attention of not only historians but of anyone with an interest in the War Between the States. But it should also command the attention of a wider audience. It is a must-read for anyone seeking examples of inspiration. NOTE: this book is available in ebook format!
At a social gathering about ten years ago, Gosta Oleander, a fraternal friend, asked me the question: what is the Absolute? The only answer I could give him at that time was: something that exists by itself but lacks evidence. During the past years, I have made a study of philosophy and read many books on the subject, in trying to find a better answer. The greatest problem in developing a philosophy is to conceive a natural morality whereby one can be persuaded to virtue without the stimulus of supernatural hopes and fears. In this I personally feel a study of the works of the numerous philosophers and the utilization of logical reason and foresight have all helped me develop a conception of...
