"The last few decades have seen a welcome revival of scholarly interest in how we should live. But in an age of relativism that asks us not to be judgmental, the idea that laughter signals inferiority will seem very old-fashioned. And so it is." With that unapologetic salvo, F. H. Buckley, in this entirely entertaining book on the serious subject of laughter, takes the side of the guardians of moral and aesthetic standards in the battle against the soulless forces of modernism.

Robert Nisbet, a conservative sociologist who lived from 1913 to 1996, anticipated by almost 50 years what is currently being said by academics and politicians who bemoan the demise of community. Now Brad Lowell Stone, a leading authority on Nisbet’s life and work, offers a close and clear exposition of his worldview, as well as a systematic survey of his contributions to the conservative movement. Nisbet’s writings, says Stone, “are an excellent place to start when persons are serious about the truths of our social world and when they seek guidance as to how they might better it.”

As social and political turmoil engulfed the United States during the Sixties, Eugene Davidson was there: as editor of Modern Age, he wrote regular commentaries on the events of the day — commentaries which exposed the Left’s irresponsibility, irrationality, Reflections on a Disruptive Decade reveals how today’s controversies all have their roots in the Sixties — and the same destructive forces that wreaked such havoc then are even more powerful now. read more

For decades, conservatives have lamented the Left's stranglehold on the institutions of opinion and information. Liberal opinion makers have presented their views as rock-solid truth, sweeping aside ideas and beliefs they don't like as unworthy of argument -- and because they controlled the media, no one has been able to challenge them. Until now.

Former CBS News journalist Bernard Goldberg's controversial book Bias removed any lingering doubt that the mainstream media is deeply, irredeemably tilted toward the Left. Now he follows up that bestseller with an even more scorching exposé of the real aims and views of the media's most powerful figures. Arrogance: Rescuing America from the Media Elite goes far beyond simply identifying bias. In it, Goldberg once again fearlessly names names and explains why media titans not only remain in denial about the prevalence of liberal bias in news reporting, but are now advancing the fanciful claim that the media is actually biased toward conservatives!

Dr. Laura Schlessinger said it best. Faced with a hostile crowd of day care supporters, she asked them: "OK, if you could come back as an infant, stand up if you would rather be raised by a day care worker, a nanny or a babysitter [rather than your own mother]. Stand up now." No one stood up. "Then why," she asked, "are you going to do this to your children?"

Along with liberalism and secular humanism, a pernicious cause of societal imbalance has been feminism, writes W. Edward Chynoweth. In Masquerade: The Feminist Illusion, Chynoweth shows how feminism subverts the natural order of male-female relations -- creating unhappiness for both men and women, destroying families, and wreaking havoc on society. He also points the way to recovering truer, age-old norms of manhood and womanhood.

In this fascinating work, historian John Julian Norwich examines how nine of Shakespeare’s plays merged actual fact and poetic license. Norwich’s entrancing conclusions will likely keep historians (and Shakespeare buffs) up late at night. As the Kirkus reviewer explains, Norwich “uses his immense knowledge of English and European history to illuminate the historical background of the plays and to offer an intriguing look at England in the years of Shakespeare’s writing. Norwich’s analysis of Richard II, Henry IV, Henry V, Henry VI, and Richard III emphasizes factors Shakespeare added for dramatic effect and his equally strategic omissions.” read more

All across America, young warriors for liberty are springing up, unwilling to fall into lockstep with the liberal ideology pervading campuses throughout our land. With “fire in their bellies and quills in their hands,” these passionate, truth-seeking students are forming independent campus publications that have become the most important voice of our times -- the conservative counterculture taking on the left-wing orthodoxy in the battle of ideas. They are the Sam Adams and Patrick Henrys of our era, as student Morgan N. Knull of the Wabash Commentary points out in one of the book’s many inspiring essays: “In the years before the Liberty Bell sounded a call to arms, patriots flooded newspapers and town squares with pleas for independence, sparking debate and influencing public opinion. They planted the philosophical roots for the United States...Independent papers serve as the conscience of schools, the guardian of traditions, and the voice of reason amidst the rot of higher education.” read more

It was no coincidence that when the American family system came under critical assault, our society began to unravel as well. What's more, a series of government policies have steadily eroded the family's strength, resulting in a rampant hyper-individualism that threatens our nation's very life. Allan Carlson demonstrates this and much more of critical importance to defenders of the family in this incisive new study of the family's importance, The "American Way": Family and Community in the Shaping of the American Identity.

Roger Kimball begins this important, engagingly written book with the strange story of Phineas P. Gage, a railroad foreman who, in 1848, inadvertently triggered an explosion that sent a metal rod hurtling through his skull. Amazingly, Gage survived, but though his intellectual powers were unimpaired, he became a “moral cripple” -- deceitful, profane, selfish, whereas before he had been honest, well-spoken and socially responsible. read more

They celebrate abortion on demand as a fundamental human right. They advocate euthanasia, and work energetically for embryo-killing research. They explicitly deny that all human beings are equal in having a right to life, and unblushingly propose the creation of a category of "human non-persons" who can be treated as expendable. In line with that, some of them have already begun calling for the killing of sick infants -- for their own good, of course. They are the party of death, and they are becoming increasingly powerful in America today, as well as in the world at large. Now, in The Party of Death: The Democrats, the Media, the Courts, and the Disregard for Human Life, National Review's Ramesh Ponnuru provides an unflinching exposé of their past successes, present activities, and future plans, showing why their principles are so harmful - and how they can be defeated before they destroy our society altogether.

In his thought-provoking new book, Aliens in America, he declares that scientists' attempt to transform human nature through biochemistry threatens to strip us of the very things that make us human: the ability to love and hate, the thirst for truth and wisdom, and the search for God. read more
