  • Political Leaders

    Adam Sutherland

    Paperback (PowerKids Press, Jan. 15, 2012)
    They say true leaders are born, not made. When faced with slavery, oppression, or human rights issues, many men and women are brave enough to do what needs to be done and to step into the role of leading others. For example, Queen Nzinga of the Mbundu people, of present-day Angola, refused to let her country be taken over by the Portuguese and her people enslaved. Not every history-making leader is without controversy, however. Readers can find out more about such leaders as Haile Selassie, Shirley Chisholm, Kofi Anna, Condoleeza Rice, and many more in this fact-filled volume covering the most interesting black rulers and leaders.

  • An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations: A Selected Edition

    Adam Smith, Kathryn Sutherland

    Paperback (Oxford University Press, May 15, 2008)
    While it has been pointed to time and again by governments and pundits promoting laissez-faire economics, The Wealth of Nations actually shows that Adam Smith viewed capitalism with a deep suspicion, and tempered his celebration of a self-regulating market with a darker vision of the dehumanizing potential of a profit-oriented society. Smith did not write an economics textbook, but rather a panoramic narrative about the struggle for individual liberty and general prosperity in history. This edition includes generous selections from all five books of The Wealth of Nations. It also provides full notes and a commentary that places Smith's work within a rich interdisciplinary context.About the Series: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the broadest spectrum of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, voluminous notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.
