The Princeton Guide to Historical Research
The essential handbook for doing historical research in the twenty-first century The Princeton Guide to Historical Research provides students, scholars, and professionals with the skills they need to practice the historian's craft in the digital age, while never losing sight of the fundamental values and techniques that have defined historical scholarship for centuries.

The Constitutional Bind
An eye-opening account of how Americans came to revere the Constitution and what this reverence has meant domestically and around the world.

Hidden Finance, Rogue Networks, and Secret Sorcery
Pursuing his investigations of high financial fraud, international banking, hidden systems of finance, black budgets and breakaway civilizations, author and researcher Joseph P. Farrell investigates the theory that there were not two levels to the 9/11 event, but three.

Farrell unravels the many layers behind the 9-11 attack, layers that include the Deutschebank, the Bush family, the German industrialist Carl Duisberg, Saudi Arabian princes and the energy weapons developed by Nikola Tesla before WWII. It is Farrell at his best—uncovering the massive financial fraud, special operations and hidden technology of the breakaway civilization.
