Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. "We need these stories. We need to read them to our children and our grandchildren." --Dennis Prager "We learn by stories, and this powerful, well-written book gives us forty superb ones. They couldn't be more timely in an age that is experiencing too much bluster, blather, exhibitionism, and ignorance."  --Steve Forbes What makes someone a hero? Is it fame, power, money, creative talent, athletic ability, good looks? Despite what our culture typically celebrates, none of those things makes a hero. No, heroism springs from character, the critical element that defines a person. The good news is that character is something every one of us can mold; it is simply the sum of the choices we make as we face new challenges and opportunities. And here's even better news: this lively, accessible book gives you real, flesh-and-blood models of character, courage, and conviction--men and women you won't just admire but also can emulate. Author Lawrence W. Reed ranges far and wide in Real Heroes--from major historical figures to remarkable people you've never heard of; from the distant past to the present; from the United States, to Europe, to Asia; from statesmen to scientists, athletes to inventors, entrepreneurs to theologians, writers to teachers. Reed's heroes include: The nineteenth-century American educator who was vilified and threatened for daring to teach black girls The unsung British activist who fought for decades to end slavery The courageous Cambodian who alerted the world to Pol Pot's killing fields The Polish soldier who volunteered to go to the notorious concentration camp Auschwitz to expose Nazi brutality and defend the liberty of his people Concise and compelling, Real Heroes highlights memorable quotations from each hero and features a bulleted summary of lessons at the end of each profile.  We desperately need more heroes today. America is a country with a proud history of heroes, but now it seems we've forgotten more of them than we're producing. It's time to change that. And Real Heroes is here to help.…

Hardback. Condizione: Very Good. Among politicians of national stature today, there is perhaps none more respected as a principled conservative than Rick Santorum. In It Takes a Family: Conservatism and the Common Good, Santorum articulates the humane vision that he believes must inform public policy if it is to be effective and just. An appreciation for the civic bonds that unite a community lies at the heart of genuine conservatism. Moreover, Santorum demonstrates how such an approach to political, social, and economic problems offers the most promise for those on the margin of life: the poor, the vulnerable, and minorities who have often been excluded from opportunity in America. Santorum argues that conservative statesmanship is animated by a sense of stewardship for an inheritance. But what do we inherit as Americans? And how can we be good stewards of that inheritance? Building on Robert Putnam's discussion of "social capital," the habits of association and trust that are the preconditions of any decent society, Santorum assesses how well, in the past generation, Americans have cared for the "fabric" of society. He explores in detail various dimensions of social and cultural connection that are the foundation of the common good. And he presents innovative policy proposals for the renewal of American society at all levels. Throughout his book, Santorum emphasizes the central role of the family--in contradistinction to the metaphorical "village" of the federal government, as promoted by Hillary Clinton--in achieving the common good. With a sustained argument touching on first principles throughout, this ambitious and original book is a major contribution to contemporary political debate. It Takes a Family further establishes Santorum as the leader of reform-minded civic conservatives in America.…
