A biography of Thomas Sowell, one of America's most influential conservative thinkers Thomas Sowell is one of the great social theorists of our age. In a career spanning more than a half century, he has written over thirty books, covering topics from economic history and social inequality to political theory, race, and culture. His bold and unsentimental assaults on liberal orthodoxy have endeared him to many readers but have also enraged fellow intellectuals, the civil-rights establishment, and much of the mainstream media. The result has been a lack of acknowledgment of his scholarship among critics who prioritize political correctness. In the first-ever biography of Sowell, Jason Riley gives this iconic thinker his due and responds to the detractors. Maverick showcases Sowell's most significant writings and traces the life events that shaped his ideas and resulted in a Black orphan from the Jim Crow South becoming one of our foremost public intellectuals.

Nobody Here But Us Chickens is a virtuoso display of literary and hiNobody Here But Us Chickens is a virtuoso display of literary and historical portraiture by Marvin Mudrick, whom the Washington Post called a “literary curmudgeon, randy iconoclast, and a delight.” Mudrick believed that in books, as in life, people matter, and that it matters in books, as it does in life, whether people are decent or not. Sticking to this plain common sense, Mudrick assembles an eye-opening hall of fame and rogues gallery that includes devastating, satirical attacks on Shakespeare, Jesus, and Flaubert, as well as a wide-ranging meditation on heroism. Mudrick devotees will know that he favors Chaucer, Jane Austen, and D. H. Lawrence, all of whom appear here, but we also get to know what he thinks about Coriolanus, Van Gogh, and Solzhenitsyn. Readers unfamiliar with the daring of Mudrick’s opinions and the special texture of his prose will come away from Nobody Here But Us Chickens wishing that critical biography was always this much fun.storical portraiture by Marvin Mudrick, whom the Washington Post called a "literary curmudgeon, randy iconoclast, and a delight."

When it comes to how to succeed as an entrepreneur, we are besotted with advice. According to bestselling author Alan Weiss, success is a combination of opportunism, very disciplined work, luck, timing, and ignoring most advice. In other words, it means striking out on your own, original path to success. In Million Dollar Maverick, he explains that entrepreneurs don't take advice, they create value and then monetize it. They do what they love and are great at and find a way to sell it to people. They do not--contrary to "conventional wisdom"--chase money. They attract money. And most of all they think differently, act decisively--and, if talent and timing are with them, succeed quickly. Drawing on over thirty years of experience as a consultant, speaker, and global expert, Weiss shares his story and "Million Dollar Tips," not found in any of his other books, to help entrepreneurs gain influence, build confidence, and develop the critical thinking skills they need to discover the inside track to rapid success
