Feith, David. Teaching America: the case for civic education. Lanham, Md.: Rowman & Littlefield, 2011, xxii, 235pp., PAPERBACK, very good. Teaching America responds to a crisis in citizenship. To remain America, our country has to give its kids a civic identity, an understanding of our constitutional system, and some appreciation of the amazing achievements of American self-government. But we are failing to do so--a failure that weakens our common culture, disenfranchises would-be voters, and helps poison political discourse. That's why this book gathers more than twenty leading thinkers to diagnose our civic illiteracy problem, explain its terribly high stakes--and lay out a powerful agenda for reform. - CONTENTS: Civic education, devalued / Frederick M.

Signed and Inscribed by Mallory Factor with black Sharpie on the Dedication Page. "Bestselling author, professor, and pundit Mallory Factor illuminates the conservative tradition in American politics with essays from leading figures in the conservative movement. Ambitious in its breadth and depth, Big Tent provides a fresh and surprising treatment of the conservative movement as told by the leaders themselves. In this unique collection, which is based on his star-studded course at The Citadel, conservative leaders explain how the movement developed as a powerful force in American politics, how it functions now with a wide range of viewpoints, and where it is going in the future. The origin of conservative ideas - from their ancient roots to their English origins, from the American Revolution to William F. Buckley, Alexis de Tocqueville to Barry Goldwater, and libertarianism to neo-conservatism - are revealed and examined in this compelling volume. These illuminating essays include: Newt Gingrich on the political ideas surrounding the American Revolution; Yaron Brook of the Ayn Rand Institute on the emergence of libertarianism; Ed Meese on the Reagan Revolution; David Keene of the NRA on Buckley-style "fusionism"; Phyllis Schlafly on the rise of the religious right; Donald Rumsfeld on the Bush administration's "War on Terror"; Rand Paul on the future of the conservative movement. Insightful and stimulating, Big Tent is an outstanding survey of the conservative movement from its most significant living figures." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.
