Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. John Kenneth Galbraith (1908-2006) was one of America's most famous economists for good reason. From his acerbic analysis of America's "private wealth and public squalor" to his denunciation of the wars in Vietnam and Iraq, Galbraith consistently challenged "conventional wisdom" (a phrase he coined). He did so as a witty commentator on America's political follies and as a versatile author of bestselling books--such as The Affluent Society and The New Industrial State--that warn of the dangers of deregulated markets, corporate greed, and inattention to the costs of our military power. Here, in the first full-length biography of Galbraith and his times, Richard Parker provides not only a nuanced portrait of this extraordinary man, but also an important reinterpretation of twentieth-century public policy and economic practices. "Whatever you may think of his ideas, John Kenneth Galbraith has led an extraordinary life. . . . Doing justice to this life story requires an outsize biography, one that not only tells Mr. Galbraith's tale but sets it on the broader canvas of America's political and economic evolution. And Richard Parker's book does just that."--Economist "Parker's book is more than a chronicle of Galbraith's life; it's a history of American politics and policy from FDR through George W. Bush. . . . It will make readers more economically and politically aware."--USA Today  "The most readable and instructive biography of the century."--William F. Buckley, National Review        "The story of this man's life and work is wonderfully rendered in this magnum opus, and offers an antidote to the public ennui, economic cruelty, and government malfeasance that poison life in America today."--James Carroll, Boston Globe.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. In this new book, micro church founder Parker Green wrestles with why the American man is in crisis. As Men search for meaning in America's churches, and for an example of manhood to follow; they don't find a revolutionary leader in the plastic and convenient Jesus that is taught from the pulpit. Instead they find a nice man and a good teacher that can't seem to help with their life that's happening NOW, much less give them purpose and something worth living and dying for. If you ever wondered why your Christianity, hell, your life didn't look like you expected it to be, perhaps you need to discover The Way of the Violent. Perhaps, If we can turn to a biblical and powerful Jesus, the one that is very much alive; we would find in Christ a man that turned, and is still turning, the world upside down.Will you join the revolution.…

Hardback. Zustand: Good. A radical work of history that re-centers the American story around El Paso, Texas, gateway between north and south, center of indigenous power and resistance, locus of European colonization of North America, centuries-long hub of immigration, and underappreciated modern blueprint for a changing United States.American history is almost always told from East to West. Yet a closer look at the past reveals the country?s start began not in the East, but in the West?at a Texan city situated in a natural shallow crossing of the Rio Grande River: El Paso.El Paso is the crossroads of Indigenous America, the nexus of a thousand-year-old Native American migration and trade route, linking MesoAmerican and Pueblo empires and beyond. It?s where the European conquest of North America began, and where the United States? Manifest Destiny was later achieved. Here, East met West, where the consequential transatlantic route, the Southern Pacific, was completed in 1881. Here the West was ?won??the Indian Wars were not fought on the Great Plains, but in the Southwest, with a scorched-earth strategy that went on for decades. It?s where Immigrant America starts?more immigrants have passed through El Paso than Ellis Island?and where crucial battles for Civil Rights were fought?the city smashing through racial and ethnic discrimination before anywhere else in the nation. The Crossing is a revelatory new history of El Paso that recasts the city as the unacknowledged cradle of American history, where cultures have encountered each other for centuries and forged a thriving multi-ethnic community far ahead of the rest of the nation. As award-winning, El Paso?native journalist Richard Parker charts, the city holds not only the framework of our American story, but also a model for a more diverse and flourishing country.…
