Tom Paine's 'Agrarian Justice' (1797) continues to inspire progressive politicians today as a source of two contemporary policies, Land Value Taxation and Universal (Basic) Income (Citizen's Income). His starting point was the belief, widespread until the end of the eighteenth century, that the Earth is the common property of humankind. Rather than advocating the common ownership of land, he proposed that landowners 'owe to the community a ground-rent', the market rent of their land. He advocated that this be paid into a fund to be used for the benefit of all, both as a lump sum payment on reaching adulthood and as a pension for older people. He is well worth reading for his passion and rhetoric. This publication also includes a riposte written in the same year by Thomas Spence, who had published a similar but more radical proposal in 1776. It also contains a 20th century re-statement of individual and common rights to the Earth and a summary of the relevance of Agrarian Justice today.

The year is 2117... Human colonies are spread throughout the Sol System. Once controlled by the United Terran Republic, the colonists have been angling for independence for quite some time. The Galilean Federation, once Earth's colonies on the moons of Jupiter, had already achieved independence without a shot fired some 25 years ago. Now, the Martian colonies want independence as well. The newly formed Martian Colonial Union, representing the separatist movement on Mars, has determined it will stop at nothing to achieve its sovereignty from Earth, even if it means war. The Terran Space Force once only had an exploratory and protective mission, but time and tension have forced it to evolve into a full-fledged military service. Now, its warships would have to face-off with those of Mars in a deadly game of cat and mouse. As one side presses for its freedom, the other pushes to avoid war.

An “exciting and informative” account of the Civil War battle that opened the 1864 Shenandoah Valley Campaign, with illustrations included (Lone Star Book Review). Charles Knight’s Valley Thunder is the first full-length account in decades to examine the combat at New Market on May 15, 1864 that opened the pivotal Shenandoah Valley Campaign. Lt. Gen. Ulysses S. Grant, who set in motion the wide-ranging operation to subjugate the South in 1864, intended to attack on multiple fronts so the Confederacy could no longer “take advantage of interior lines.” A key to success in the Eastern Theater was control of the Shenandoah Valley, an agriculturally abundant region that helped feed Gen....
Full of Cockney charm, Paul Di'Anno is the wild man of rock and roll. His story is a tale of drugs, guns, alcohol; of extended periods banged up in a US Federal Penitentiary; and of course, of his time fronting one of the biggest rock groups of all time, Iron Maiden.
