This is a book of historical fiction that covers the period from the early days of the English colonies in the New World until the completion of Reconstruction after the end of the so-called Civil War. The author created the fictional Andrews family to tell the tale of the "long journeys" traveled by individual, families, armies and the country of America during this 200-year period. The causes, the conduct and the outcomes of the American Revolution and the War of Northern Aggression (aka Civil War) are the backdrop for the journeys traveled by the Andrews family and the country.

The first post 9-11 election gave us a choice between two big-government, high-tax globocops quibbling over the details, not an alternative to the aggressive international militarism that makes us the natural and logical target of terrorism. This book looks at the progression from republic protected by militia to empire protected by standing armies in Athens and Rome - and the similar progression in America. It looks at an alternative: The Swiss way, which has kept Switzerland free and republican for 700 years in the center of a warlike continent. America once understood and followed Washington's "Great Rule" and J. Q. Adams' admonition not to go out into the world in search of monsters to destroy. We were then the light, not the sword, of freedom. Now we have picked up the sword only to see the light grow dimmer year by year.

Eric Helleiner's new book provides a powerful corrective to conventional accounts of the negotiations at Bretton Woods, New Hampshire, in 1944. These negotiations resulted in the creation of the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank—the key international financial institutions of the postwar global economic order. Critics of Bretton Woods have argued that its architects devoted little attention to international development issues or the concerns of poorer countries. On the basis of extensive historical research and access to new archival sources, Helleiner challenges these assumptions, providing a major reinterpretation that will interest all those concerned with the politics and history of the global economy, North-South relations, and international development. The Bretton Woods architects—who included many officials and analysts from poorer regions of the world—discussed innovative proposals that anticipated more contemporary debates about how to reconcile the existing liberal global economic order with the development aspirations of emerging powers such as India, China, and Brazil. Alongside the much-studied Anglo-American relationship was an overlooked but pioneering North-South dialogue. Helleiner’s unconventional history brings to light not only these forgotten foundations of the Bretton Woods system but also their subsequent neglect after World War II.

A nuanced look at the rhetorical narratives used by conservative Republicans and evangelicals to make both personal and political choices As a political constituency, white conservative evangelicals are generally portrayed as easy to dupe, disposed to vote against their own interests, and prone to intolerance and knee-jerk reactions. In Decoding the Digital Church: Evangelical Storytelling and the Election of Donald J. Trump, Stephanie A. Martin challenges this assumption and moves beyond these overused stereotypes to develop a refined explanation for this constituency’s voting behavior. This volume offers a fresh perspective on the study of religion and politics and stems from the author’s personal interest in the ways her experiences with believers differ from how scholars often frame this group’s rationale and behaviors. To address this disparity, Martin examines sermons, drawing on her expertise in rhetoric and communication studies with the benefits of ethnographic research in an innovative hybrid approach she terms a “digital rhetorical ethnography.” Martin’s thorough research surveys more than 150 online sermons from America’s largest evangelical megachurches in 37 different states. Through listening closely to the words of the pastors who lead these conservative congregations, Martin describes a gentler discourse less obsessed with issues like abortion or marriage equality than stereotypes of evangelicals might suggest. Instead, the politicaleconomic sermons and stories from pastors encourage true believers to remember the exceptional nature of the nation’s founding while also deemphasizing how much American citizenship really means. Martin grapples with and pays serious, scholarly attention to a seeming contradiction: while the large majority of white conservative evangelicals voted in 2016 for Donald J. Trump, Martin shows that many of their pastors were deeply concerned about the candidate, the divisive nature of the campaign, and the potential effect of the race on their congregants’ devotion to democratic process itself. In-depth chapters provide a fuller analysis of our current political climate, recapping previous scholarship on the history of this growing divide and establishing the groundwork to set up the dissonance between the political commitments of evangelicals and their faith that the rhetorical ethnography addresses.

Words and ideas have consequences. Those who will change the meaning of words will change the rules and the laws to suit themselves so they can accomplish their personal agenda. Deadly ideas lay at the bottom of one of America’s two foundations. Inscribed on the walls of some of the Capitol’s buildings and monuments are these immortal truths: —“Where law ends, tyranny begins.” —“To render every man his due.” —“Conservation means development as much as it does protection.” —“Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty.” —“What is past is prologue.” The following are quotes from the book America’s Two Foundations, A Solid Rock Or Sinking Sand? “A parasite is an organism that lives off the life force of another organism without contributing to the life force of the other. These people of other faiths and no faith are living off the spiritual capital of the Judeo-Christian civilization, and at the same time, they deny the God who revealed the divine principles upon which the ethics of the country grow.” Locked inside the Independence Hall, I found myself alone with the spirits of the Founders. “What can you say about a country that even protects the rights of those who are trying to destroy it?” Upon laying the chief cornerstone of the US capital on September 18, 1793, George Washington and others laid the first foundations to the new republic. And they assumed the mantles as “high priests” of this new temple in Washington, DC, thus establishing the New Order of the Ages. Who are these “high priests”? You must read America’s Two Foundations, A Solid Rock Or Sinking Sand? to find out.
