New York Times' Notable Book of 2019 SelectionNEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLERFrom the Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist, an "astonishing" and "enthralling" (Booklist) new examination of how the Founders' belief in natural rights created a great American political tradition--"easily one of the best books on American Conservatism ever written" (Jonah Goldberg). For more than four decades, George F. Will has attempted to discern the principles of the Western political tradition and apply them to America's civic life. Today, the stakes could hardly be higher. Vital questions about the nature of man, of rights, of equality, of majority rule are bubbling just beneath the surface of daily events in America. The Founders' vision, articulated first in the Declaration of Independence and carried out in the Constitution, gave the new republic a framework for government unique in world history. Their beliefs in natural rights, limited government, religious freedom, and in human virtue and dignity ushered in two centuries of American prosperity. Now, as Will shows, conservatism is under threat--both from progressives and elements inside the Republican Party. America has become an administrative state, while destructive trends have overtaken family life and higher education. Semi-autonomous executive agencies wield essentially unaccountable power. Congress has failed in its duty to exercise its legislative powers. And the executive branch has slipped the Constitution's leash. In the intellectual battle between the vision of Founding Fathers like James Madison, who advanced the notion of natural rights that pre-exist government, and the progressivism advanced by Woodrow Wilson, the Founders have been losing. It's time to reverse America's political fortunes. Expansive, intellectually thrilling, and written with the erudite wit that has made Will beloved by millions of readers, The Conservative Sensibility is an extraordinary new book from one of America's most celebrated political writers.

While her children were growing up, Georgette often entertained them by telling them virtue-based tales about two mischievous young sisters (Stacy and Tracy) in an effort to pass along valuable life lessons. Years later, Georgette began telling the same Stacy and Tracy stories to her grandchildren, who were so excited about the stories that they asked her to repeat them almost every time they saw her. Georgette then decided to write and publish a book for each of the stories, so her grandchildren could learn from the stories and then someday pass them on to their own children. The Adventures of Stacy and Tracy: How to Turn Gossip Into Kindness is the first in a series of seven titles. Your children will look forward to hearing the playful and humorous stories of these two young sisters again and again. These stories are loved and appreciated by both girls and boys, and will give you an opportunity to discuss the qualities and virtues that you would like your children and grandchildren to adopt as their own.
