From one of "flyover land's" most-awarded newspaper columnists and laureate of the Oklahoma Journalism Hall of Fame, comes a long-awaited collection of William Hamilton's often humorous, always illuminating, newspaper columns. For 35 years, Dr. Hamilton's "Central View," has informed and entertained readers throughout America's heartland. Striving to be just slightly to the right of center, and relying on successful careers in-the-trenches of military service, political consulting, old-fashioned journalism, and the advertising/public relations business, Dr. Hamilton's penetrating insights into: cultural, geopolitical, economic, history, military, and political affairs provides readers with an unconventional perspective on past and current events -- a perspective not typically found in America's mainstream media (MSM). "Bill Hamilton is a skilled and entertaining writer, a pleasure for an editor to work with, and one of the rarest of literary animals: a conservative with a sense of humor."-- Sid Hurlburt, longtime guest columns editor for USA TODAY Kim Stevens, fellow pilot and publisher of the State Aviation Journal/AVED Magazine comments: "Like the 1980s Lays Potato Chips slogan - I bet you can't eat just one - reading just one of William Hamilton's columns just can't be done. Or shouldn't. To miss even one of his stories is to deprive you of his years of wit, wisdom and smile provoking situations." "Aviator, master parachutist, avid skier, sailor, linguist, highly decorated soldier, Bill Hamilton, lives a life of high adventure about which he writes with wit and wisdom," says Warren Miller, the founder of Warren Miller Entertainment. Readers looking for a refreshing change from the MSM's usual group-think, will find in these columns good-natured humor and new ways of looking at subjects, both old and new.

John Stuart Mill (20 May 1806 - 8 May 1873) was an English philosopher, political economist, feminist, and civil servant. He was an influential contributor to social theory, political theory and political economy. He has been called "the most influential English-speaking philosopher of the nineteenth century". 3] Mill's conception of liberty justified the freedom of the individual in opposition to unlimited state control. 4] Mill expresses his view on freedom by illustrating how an individual's drive to better their station, and for self-improvement, is the sole source of true freedom. Only when an individual is able to attain such improvements, without impeding others in their own efforts to do the same, can true freedom prevail. Mill's linking of freedom and self-improvement has inspired many. By establishing that individual efforts to excel have worth, Mill was able to show how they should achieve self-improvement without harming others, or society at large. He was a proponent of utilitarianism, an ethical theory developed by Jeremy Bentham. He worked on the theory of the scientific method. Mill was also a Member of Parliament belonging to the Liberal Party, as well as an important figure in liberal political philosophy.

Long before the American Revolution, fur trappers were traveling thousands of miles into the remote wilderness in their quest for beaver pelts, the frontier's most valuable commodity. These hardened, unsettled men were at the forefront of the Western expansion, hunting amid the Central Rockies by the 1830s and occasionally wandering all the way to the shores of the Pacific. Their lives and accomplishments are vividly and authentically recaptured in this gritty autobiography of a longtime adventurer. William Thomas Hamilton (1822-1908) left St. Louis at the age of 20 to serve as an apprentice to an experienced trapper and hunter. Within a decade of his entry into the trade, the demand for pelts plummeted as hat fashions shifted from beaver to silk. Hamilton and his fellow trappers turned instead to leading hunting parties, guiding scientific expeditions, serving as army scouts, and protecting settlers and miners from Indian attacks. In this memoir, the frontiersman presents a fascinating account of his rough-and-tumble life in the Old West. Eight full-page illustrations by the former cowboy and great Western artist Charles Russell enhance the tale.
