This is one of four volumes on the Declaration of Independence. Formatted in 365 essays of about 400 words each, Rolwing examines nearly all the major writers on our Basic Charter, most of whom repudiate it. He focuses on their manifold criticisms and rejections, reveals their multiple distortions and misunderstandings, rebukes their self-contradictions and inconsistencies, and pities their general theo-phobia. He argues that while America was Founded almost completely by Protestant Christians (the only two “deists” were not even “deists”), what was Founded was formally only a philosophical product, not a faith based or Christian one, although the philosophy had been more Catholic than Protestant. Rolwing makes a great deal of American history, law, ethics, politics, philosophy, and theology easily accessible to the average reader. Each 5 minute essay can give you a high for the whole day. “Certainly the Declaration is worth many an hour explaining and defending it. Mr. Rolwing seeks to make the problems brought up about the document capable of being understood by both scholar and ordinary citizen.” –Fr. James Schall, S.J.

Americans have spent millions on fad diet books trying to lose weight or just eat better. We've tried low fat. We switched to low-carbs. And it hasn't worked. And we may have risked illness and gotten fatter in the process. Despite all the promises of the diet bestsellers, two out of every three of us are overweight or obese. Even normal weight people have a hard time eating right. But there is hope - and real help. The UNCLE SAM DIET is based on the new 2005 US Dietary Guidelines for Americans. Based on solid science, it's an eating style that you can stay with and thrive on. No gimmicks here, and no fads. Dr. Keith Ayoob, a registered dietitian and associate professor at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York, uses the USDA's new dietary guidelines to design an eating plan based on good, wholesome foods. It's simple...it's safe...and it works! Lots of good foods--from all food groups-so you never feel hungry.Weekly menus for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks-you can even have a latte or two!Huge, hungry man's servings of vegetables and fruits-every dayDelicious whole grains-muffins, breads, bagels and moreNutritious snacks for hunger attacksGot kids? Great! These guidelines are good for anyone age 2 and older. So take your kids along on the trip to better eating. (They'll probably enjoy it too!) The new Dietary Guidelines are chock-full of great changes for you and your family. Dr. Ayoob takes the nutrition-ese out of the government's gobbledygook and gives you meal plans and recipes that are easy to use and delicious. The result? This Uncle Sam is here to stay. "Obesity is a disease of excess-excess calories and excess sedentary activities. The cure is to balance calories in with calories out."-Keith Ayoob (quoted in IFIC, Food Insight, March/April 2003)
