Samuel Johnson once said, "Classical quotation is the parole of literate men the world over." But finding an anthology of quotations that
isn't distorted by liberal bias is increasingly a challenge. For instance, did you know that Bartlett's Familiar Quotations, 16th edition, features
37 quotations from Franklin Roosevelt, 28 from John F. Kennedy -- and only three from Ronald Reagan? And here's the kicker: when the book's editor,
Justin Kaplan, was told that all three Reagan selections seemed chosen to make Reagan look ridiculous, he replied, "I'm not going to disguise the
fact that I despise Ronald Reagan."
That's why Great
Quotations that Shaped the Western World is so welcome -- and so necessary. Unlike most other quotation books, this one was compiled
by a conservative. Its stated mission: "to celebrate liberty, which is sustained by virtue, which is sustained by religion, and to glory in the
wonderful words of free men and women." Here, in one massive 736-page volume, you will find more than 8,000 quotations containing the great
philosophical, moral, religious, political, legal, economic, scientific, military, business management, and life management precepts that made
Western civilization the greatest the world has ever known.

The Deniers:
The World Renowned Scientists Who Stood Up Against Global Warming Hysteria, Political Persecution, and Fraud -- And Those Who Are Too Fearful to Do
So
By Lawrence Solomon
Al Gore and the mainstream media tell us constantly that it's all settled: global warming is an established fact -- and it's a grave
problem that it is rapidly getting worse, is caused primarily by human activity, and will lead to catastrophe if those activities continue unchecked.
Says who? Why, the "experts" -- those who know directly what we can know only because they tell us. The only problem with this cozy scenario, says
Lawrence Solomon in The
Deniers: The World Renowned Scientists Who Stood Up Against Global Warming Hysteria, Political Persecution, and Fraud -- And Those Who Are Too
Fearful to Do So, is that it isn't true. There is a small and plucky coterie of scientists who, because of their commitment to the
facts, are daring to stand up -- at great personal cost -- against the established global warming myth. Solomon explains how Gore and Co. have
mounted an all-out campaign against these men, portraying them as hacks bought off by profit-mad oil companies - or, worse, as global warming
"deniers," a term meant to link them with "Holocaust deniers."

The Really Inconvenient Truths:
Seven Environmental Catastrophes Liberals Don't Want You to Know About – Because They Helped Cause Them
By Iain Murray
The liberal environmental movement takes for granted that strict government regulation and public ownership is necessary for the preservation of
the environment. Yet who, in the end, is responsible for the great environmental catastrophes of the recent past? According to Iain Murray of the
Competitive Enterprise Institute, the real answer is: environmentalists themselves. "The dogmatic ideologies and restrictive policies pushed on us by
the environmental Left have harmed nature more than helped it," argues Murray, "but the environmentalists have never borne the blame." Now, in
The Really Inconvenient
Truths: Seven Environmental Catastrophes Liberals Don’t Want You to Know About – Because They Helped Cause Them, Murray
reveals just how often and gravely liberal environmentalists have harmed the environment, how they have covered up this fact, and how conservatives
can reclaim the environmental issue by stressing free-enterprise, private-property solutions.

The Devil's Delusion:
Atheism and Its Scientific Pretensions
By David Berlinski
Until relatively recently, it was common for scientists to affirm that religion and science were complementary, not contradictory, forms
of knowledge -- as when Albert Einstein famously proclaimed, "Science without religion is lame. Religion without science is blind." But today, argues
acclaimed author and mathematician David Berlinksi, we're seeing the rise of a radical pseudo-scientific atheism -- championed by bestselling authors
like Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris, and Daniel Dennett, and including much of the scientific community as foot soldiers -- that seeks to install science
as the "one true faith." Now, in The Devil's Delusion: Atheism and Its Scientific Pretensions, Berlinksi eviscerates the supposedly rational and
scientific claims of the "New Atheists" and shows how their anti-religious arguments are in fact irrational, unscientific, and very often based on
the kind of "blind faith" and "wishful thinking" they impute to religious believers. Indeed, he shows, radical atheism is every bit as dogmatic and
intolerant of heresy as any church.

The Reason for God:
Belief in an Age of Skepticism
By Dr. Timothy Keller
As founding pastor of Redeemer Presbyterian Church in the heart of liberal Manhattan, Dr. Timothy Keller has been called upon to answer tough
questions about Christianity by skeptics and believers alike. Questions such as: Why is there suffering in the world? How could a loving God send
people to Hell? How can one religion be "right" and the rest "wrong"? Now, in The Reason for God: Belief in an Age of
Skepticism, Dr. Keller provides theologically sound and intellectually persuasive answers to these questions and many more like
them. Written with atheists, agnostics, and skeptics in mind, Keller also provides an intelligent platform on which true believers can stand their
ground when bombarded by hostile questioning. The Reason for God challenges such ideology at its core and points to the true path and
purpose of Christianity.

Party of Defeat
By David Horowitz and Ben Johnson

consequences could be disastrous. Their candid and explosive reporting forces us to confront the consequences of these unprecedented attacks on the
