Snacks For Thought
Snacks For Thought is a collection of random thoughts, some serious others not so. Thoughts that were developed at different times under different circumstances. They are not to be devoured in large quantities but rather nibbled in small bites. Each snack should be consumed, digested and discarded or absorbed. As a small book it might be kept in a purse or pocket for partial consumption while riding the subway, waiting in the doctor's office, resting in the park or settling down to sleep. They are not like blogs, tweets, twitters, hashtags or whatever gimmick next appeals to the illiterate. They are based on thought not the mechanical constraints of the newest machine. How delightful!

Naval Chronology of Great Britain
James Ralfe (fl. 1820–1829) was a historian best remembered for this comprehensive history of British naval involvement in the Napoleonic Wars. First published in 1820 and intended as a successor and continuation of Captain Isaac Schomberg's history of the navy, Naval Chronology, Ralfe's work is remarkably detailed, using first-hand accounts of naval engagements taken from interviews with officers and sailors in addition to contemporary official naval documents. Chronologically by year, Ralfe notes and explains major parliamentary proceedings relating to the navy, lists the serving flag officers for the given year, and describes naval battles and engagements, arranged according to location. The innovative structure of these volumes, with detailed descriptions of naval battles, provide a valuable reference for the study of the British navy during the Napoleonic Wars. Volume 3 covers 1810–1816.

Hangman's Apprentice
The Hangman's Apprentice spans the birth and evolution of the Equality Party of Canada--from the concept of Absolute Democracy, a form of democracy where Government is abolished and citizens vote on laws and legislation over the internet--to the violent uprising that tears a nation apart. The Hangman's Apprentice is a revolution of thoughts and ideals. It is the story of a country divided by those fighting for the power to run their own own lives, versus those fighting to cling onto the power they fear to lose.

On Human Rights
What is a human right? How can we tell whether a proposed human right really is one? How do we establish the content of particular human rights, and how do we resolve conflicts between them? These are pressing questions for philosophers, political theorists, jurisprudents, international lawyers, and activists. James Griffin offers answers in his compelling new investigation of the foundations of human rights. First, On Human Rights traces the idea of a natural right from its origin in the late Middle Ages, when the rights were seen as deriving from natural laws, through the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, when the original theological background was progressively dropped and 'natural law' emptied of most of its original meaning. By the end of the Enlightenment, the term 'human rights' (droits de l'homme) appeared, marking the purge of the theological background. But theEnlightenment, in putting nothing in its place, left us with an unsatisfactory, incomplete idea of a human right. Griffin shows how the language of human rights has become debased. There are scarcely any accepted criteria, either in the academic or the public sphere, for correct use of the term. He takes on the task of showing the way towards a determinate concept of human rights, based on their relation to the human status that we all share. He works from certain paradigm cases, such as freedom of expression and freedom of worship, to more disputed cases such as welfare rights - for instance the idea of ahuman right to health. His goal is a substantive account of human rights - an account with enough content to tell us whether proposed rights really are rights. Griffin emphasizes the practical as well as theoretical urgency of this goal: as the United Nations recognized in 1948 with its UniversalDeclaration, the idea of human rights has considerable power to improve the lot of humanity around the world. We can't do without the idea of human rights, and we need to get clear about it. It is our job now - the job of this book - to influence and develop the unsettled discourse of human rights so as to complete the incomplete idea.
