Freedom in the World is an indispensable annual survey of political rights and civil liberties from Freedom House, the nation's leading human rights advocacy group. Well- established as a standard reference, Freedom in the World ranks each country in the world according to degree of political rights and civil liberties its citizens enjoy--or are deprived of. It offers a full overview of each country, identifies its political and economic systems, and provides vital data about life expectancy, population, ethnic composition, and economic indicators. Regional and country reports are accompanied by the annual Map of Freedom, regional maps, charts, tabulated ratings, and other graphic tools that allow immediate comparison between countries. Freedom in the World is a crucial resource for all those concerned about progress in human rights.
"I don't have any children, so I've decided to claim all the future freedom-fighters and hell-raisers as my kin," wrote journalist Molly Ivins. Ivins is one of the biggest hell-raisers profiled in this collection of essays by Hal Crowther, but there is plenty hell-raising and freedom-fighting to go around. Crowther is a writer whose own career is marked by sharp political and social commentary in the pages of national and regional outlets, from Time to the Atlanta Constitution to The Oxford American. In this collection, he turns his attention to best and the brightest of the recently departed generation in the South. These essays commemorate the passing of iconic Southern figures such as John Hope Franklin, Doc Watson, Judy Bonds, and James Dickey. Crowther has known most of the folks he profiles and has lived in their particular landscape for decades; he has some stories to tell, and he does so with a particular appreciation for his subjects’ accomplishments, their surroundings, and even, in the case of politicos Jesse Helms and George Wallace, their particular brand of notoriousness. Novelist and commentator Silas House, author of Southernmost and A Parchment of Leaves, introduces the collection.

Thinking Aloud Allowed Thinking about God went into a black hole in the '60s with "God Is Dead." Fundamentalism doesn't count, because there's no thinking there. Here's a book that goes all the way into that black hole and comes out the far end -- into liberation. This challenge is for persons who can read and like to think, and can still sense wonder. The fresh air is wonderful A study in candor, a philosophical broadside of profound importance, a guide to personal liberation, an invitation to wonder - a book that links truth-seekers and truth-tellers. "Freedom From God" is the product of a lifetime of thinking and reading. For eight years Willson was a card-carrying "Master of Divinity," serving as missionary/pastor in New Mexico. Then he left the church in sorrow and anger over its failure to speak out against the Vietnam War. He taught high school for ten years, then quit teaching "to write," and entered what he came to call "the real world," thinking all the while. Eventually Willson decided that the word "God" was too contaminated to be useful, but found he experienced wonder, more than ever.
In recent years the subject of freedom of expression has become a topic of heated debate. 'Freedom of Expression in Islam' offers the first and only detailed presentation in English of freedom of expression from both the legal and moral perspectives of Islam. This work is a pioneering attempt in examining both the evidence on freedom of expression in the sources of the 'Shari'a' and the limitations, whether moral, legal or theological, that Islam imposes on the valid exercise of this freedom. 'Freedom of Expression in Islam' is informative not only on the subject of the possibilities of freedom of expression within Islam, but also on the cultural tradition of Islam and its guidelines on social behaviour. 'Freedom of Expression in Islam' is part of a series dedicated to the fundamental rights and liberties in Islam and should be read in conjunction with 'The Dignity of Man: An Islamic Perspective' and 'Freedom, Equality and Justice in Islam'.
