“Gordon Wood has devoted his career to incorporating the shifting ideas and social and political developments defining the early American Republic into a convincing and riveting whole. His scholarship is distinguished by its grasp of the monographs about the Founding era as well as his extensive use of primary documents. His writing fuses social, intellectual, and political history seamlessly together, and his books are exquisitely written, armed with the power of the best historical narratives.” – by Matthew Dallek for National Humanities Medal, 2010

Meditations, literally meaning in ancient Greek “that which is to himself,” is a collection of thoughts penned by the Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius. A disciple of the Stoics, he recorded these musings throughout 12 books during his travels through his vast empire from 161-180 AD. Although expansive and containing many timeless dictums, the overarching message of his writings is the call to see the grander picture, to view oneself in light of the whole cosmos. It is likely that Marcus Aurelius never meant for these words to be published, but that is what makes them even more compelling as a truthful crystallization of the wisdom diffused through the ancient Greco-Roman world.

John Adams and Thomas Jefferson died on the same day. And it was no ordinary day. It was the Fourth of July, 1826, exactly fifty years from the date the Continental Congress approved the Declaration of Independence, or as Daniel Webster referred to it in his eulogy of the two men, “the great day of National Jubilee.” Arguably no relationship in America’s history carries as much freight as Adams and Jefferson. Gordon Wood, the great historian of the American Revolution, tells their story in Friends Divided, a majestic dual biography of these great men, whose partnership helped birth a nation and whose subsequent falling-out did much to fix its course.

The Screwtape Letters by C. S. Lewis is a classic masterpiece of religious satire that entertains readers with its sly and ironic portrayal of human life and foibles from the vantage point of Screwtape, a highly placed assistant to “Our Father Below.” At once wildly comic, deadly serious, and strikingly original, C. S. Lewis’s The Screwtape Letters is the most engaging account of temptation—and triumph over it—ever written. This edition also contains illustrations by William Papas.

The book he wrote on his return to France, Democracy in America, is both the best ever written on democracy and the best ever written on America.

Discourses on Livy is a book of political history that served as a foundational work of modern republicanism. Machiavelli writes an analysis of the first ten books of Livy’s History of Rome.While the book is primarily a discussion of the classical history of early Ancient Rome, it strays very far from this subject matter and uses contemporary political examples to illustrate points. The book and the topics it discusses remain relevant today.

This book is considered Hayek’s classic statement on the ideals of freedom and liberty, ideals that he believes have guided—and must continue to guide—the growth of Western civilization. Here Hayek defends the principles of a free society, casting a skeptical eye on the growth of the welfare state and examining the challenges to freedom posed by an ever expanding government—as well as its corrosive effect on the creation, preservation, and utilization of knowledge.

The classical era in the history of economics is an important part of the history of ideas in general, and its implications reach beyond the bounds of the economics profession.  On Classical Economics offers a perspective on both history and economics. It is not simply a tour of colorful personalities of the past but a study of how certain economic concepts and tools of analysis arose, and how their implications were revealed during the controversies that followed. In addition to a general understanding of classical macroeconomics and microeconomics, this book offers special insight into the neglected pioneering work of Sismondi—and why it was neglected—and a detailed look at John Stuart Mill’s enigmatic role in the development of economics and the mysteries of Marxian economics. Clear, engaging, and very readable, On Classical Economics makes a contribution to the understanding of economics in general.

Although regarded as the first scientific treatise on economics, An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations should be viewed in a larger context. The social philosopher, historian, moralist, and political scientist, Adam Smith, attempted to create in this great work a synthesis of ideas that would in essence be a study of political and social evolution. First published in 1776 and a continuing influence worldwide, it is the crowning achievement of one of the leading figures of the Scottish Enlightenment.

Cicero was perhaps the most famous orator in the history of Rome and the most influential on the founding fathers. This collection of his most important speeches includes his Orations against Cataline, in which he successfully thwarted a conspiracy against the Roman government. It also contains his Philippics, a defense of the Republic which ultimately got him executed as it was a warning against the potential tyranny of Antony.

In a grand and readable synthesis of historical, political, cultural, and economic analysis, Gordon Wood describes the events that made the American Revolution. Wood depicts a revolution that was about much more than a break from England, rather it transformed an almost feudal society into a democratic one, whose emerging realities sometimes baffled and disappointed its founding fathers. We are pleased to offer this work as a special SIGNED deluxe leather bound edition.

Ron Chernow, whom The New York Times has called “as elegant an architect of monumental histories as we’ve seen in decades,” brings to life the man who was the principal designer of the federal government, the catalyst for the emergence of the two-party system, the patron saint of Wall Street, and the object of ardent idolatry as well as vehement loathing by his peers. Alexander Hamilton was arguably the most important figure in American history who never attained the presidency, but he had a far more lasting impact than many who did.

Shortly after the press reported Supreme Court Associate Justice Antonin Scalia’s death on February 13, 2016, tributes began pouring in from longtime allies and adversaries alike. One trait that nearly everyone praised was Scalia’s brilliant literary style. The simple goal of this book is to share some of the most powerful, colorful, and entertaining opinions ever written by an American jurist. Scalia’s way with words is what makes this book possible. His opinions employ metaphors, stories, and emotion in ways that frequently carry legal writing into the realm of belles-lettres.
