Written by the iconic American statesman, Alexander Hamilton, the original US chief justice, John Jay, and Father of the Constitution James Madison, this compilation of eighty-five articles explains and defends the ideals behind the highest form of law in the United States.

These essays were published anonymously in New York newspapers in 1787 and 1788, and they foresaw many of the headline-grabbing issues surrounding impeachment, corruption, bureaucracy, and regulation that we read about today.

Tree and a historical timeline at the back.

Revolutionary classics of political philosophy, these articles are essential reading for students, lawyers, politicians, and anyone with an interest in the formation of societies.

Set in India, Siddhartha is about the individual's search for authenticity, self-knowledge, and spirituality. In Sanskrit, Siddhartha means he who has found meaning or he who has attained his goals. Handsome son of a Brahmin, Siddhartha leaves home to seek enlightenment. Joined by his friend Govinda, he becomes a wandering beggar, meditates, and renounces all personal possessions, but gains great wealth before being guided back towards enlightenment and his ultimate destiny by the words of a ferryman.

A must for anyone seeking self-knowledge in today's materialistic world.

Anthem is a dystopian fiction novella by Ayn Rand, first published in 1937 in England. It takes place at some unspecified future date when mankind has entered another dark age as a result of the evils of irrationality and collectivism and the weaknesses of socialistic thinking and economics.

Technological advancement is now carefully planned (when it is allowed to occur at all) and the concept of individuality has been eliminated (for example, the word I has disappeared from the language).

As is common in her work, Rand draws a clear distinction between the socialist/communal values of equality and brotherhood and the productive/capitalist values of achievement and individuality.

This Special Collector's Edition contains both the unedited and annotated versions of the Ayn Rand's book, with notes and observations for study, and a Foreward by Ayn Rand.

- Publisher's Weekly

Ayn Rand was more of a prophet than many people once realized.
- Alan Greenspan

Complete and unabridged paperback edition.
