As the practice of democracy becomes a lost art, Americans are increasingly desperate for a restored nation.

In "Give Me Liberty," bestselling author Naomi Wolf shows the breathtaking changes that can take place when ordinary citizens engage in the democratic system the way the founders intended and tells how to use that system, right now, to change your life, your community and, ulimately, the nation.

As the boomer generation moves onward through the milestones of life, 1960's nostalgia holds tremendous meaning today. And nothing more eloquently symbolizes the counterculture era than the peace sign. How did this simple sketch become so powerful an image? "Peace: The Biography of a Symbol" tells the surprisiing story of the sign in words and pictures, from its origins in the nuclear disarmament movement in England in 1958, throughout the 1960s, through its stint as a mass-marketed commodity and its enduring relevance now.

Book: War Is A Racket
$12.00 $10.00 On Sale!
BK-WIAR
by General Smedley Butler 80 pages
This is the anti-war classic of all time. Written over seventy years ago by General Smedley Butler, who is still the most highly-decorated U.S. Marine in American history, This frank book shows how U.S. war efforts are animated and driven by big business interests, then as today. This extraordinary argument against war is more relevant today than ever. It remains the basic primer for all to read. Concisely tells the true story of his personal exoeriences as a soldier prtecting U.S. business interests in other countries. Coming as it does from the perspective of a brave and highly honored warrior, he is a source whom pro-military, pro-war readers will at least read, and may even find themselves agreeing with. A powerful, timeless document. Marine enlistees are taught about the history of the Marine Corps, and about Smedley Butler as a heroic U.S. Marine, but they don't teach about his personal conversion to opposition to war for corporate profit.

DVD: The Wave (TV drama version)
$25.00
DVD-TWTV
44 minutes 1981 This is the made-for-TV version adapted from the true incident in history teacher Ron Jones' Palo Alto, California high school classroom in 1967. (the DVD case mistakenly says 1969). It is the dramatization that millions of people have seen. This dramatization was directed by Alexander Grasshoff, and produced for television by Norman Lear. It aired nationally in 1981. The powerful forces of group pressure that lead to a totalitarian mindset grew out-of-control in the classroom experiment known as "The Wave." After all the years since it was made, this is still a valuable lesson for students to see and learn. A novel was adapted from the TV script.
Also see "The Wave - Ron Jones Stories" to hear the story told for the first time, first hand, before a live audience in 1996, by the teacher who created it in his classroom, 29 years after it happened. (1 hour) Both films, together make a profound presentation, over two or more days (total time: 1:44)

DVD: Reel Bad Arabs: How Hollywood Vilifies a People
$25.00
DVD-RBA
Produced by Media Education Foundation 50 minutes featuring Dr. Jack Shaheen
REEL BAD ARABS take a devastating tour of the American cinematic landscape, moving from the earliest days of silent film to today's biggest Hollywood blockbusters to reveal an astonishing and persistent pattern of slanderous Arab stereotyping. Featuring acclaimed author and Hollywood film consultant Dr. Jack Shaheen, the documentary exposes America's long love affair with Arab villainy and buffoonery, from over-sexed Bedouin bandits and submissive maidens to sinister sheikhs and blood-thirsty terrorists. Along the way, the film provides striking insights into the origin of these images, their disturbing similarities to anti-Semitic and racist stereotypes from the past, and their political resonance during key moments of conflict in U.S. history...

BK-LMTTM
High school students hate history. When they list their favorite subjects, history always comes in last. They consider it the most irrelevant of twenty-one school subjects; bo-o-o-ring is the adjective most often applied. James Loewen spent two years at the Smithsonian Institute surveying twelve leading high school textbooks of American history. What he found was an embarrassing amalgam of bland optimism, blind patriotism, and misinformation pure and simple, weighing in at an average of four-and-a-half pounds and 888 pages.

7/8" Manual Button Assembly Machine
$249.00
MBAM-7/8
MBAM-7/8
New this year! Just like the one-inch machine, but this one makes an even smaller size button: just seven-eighths of an inch in diameter. The smallest button size available. Perfect for those who prefer discreetness over visibility. Also, this (like the one-inch size) is great to convert to earrings: see earring backs and posts at the end of this section. The earring backings have a permanent adhesive to replace the removeable lock pin. This smaller size is even more popular with those who like one-inch buttons. The component parts to make the buttons (shells, collets, clear acetate covers and lock pins) are the same price as the one-inch size, too.
2 step quick button making process
swivel die set (no changing dies between steps, unlike other machines)
Cushioned hand grip
Compact (3" x 9" footprint) & light weight (only 7 pounds) for easy storge and carrying

DVD: The Greening of Southie

DVD-GOS
Directed by Ian Cheney 2009 72 minutes
In the traditionally Irish-American working-class neighborhood of South Boston, Mass. a new kind of building has taken shape. From wheatboard cabinetry to recycled steel, bamboo flooring to dual-flush toilets, the Macallen building is something different: a leader in the emerging field of environmentally friendly design. But Boston's steel-toed union workers aren't sure they like it. And when things on the building start to go wrong, the young developer has to keep the project from unravelling. Building Boston's first L.E.E.D. Gold-certified building turns out to be harder than anyone thought. Yet among the i-beams and brickwork emerges a small cadre of unlikely envioronmentalists who come to connect their work with the future of their children. .

DVD: Pete Seeger - The Power of Song
$25.00
DVD-PSPS
Directed by Jim Brown 2008 93 minutes
"A stirring, revelatory film." Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly
This is a great film about a living legend and a personal friend of ours. Dirctor Jim Brown documents the life of one of the greatest American singer/songwriters of the last century. Pete Seeger was the architect of the folk music revival , writing some of its best known songs including "If I Had A Hammer," "Where Have All The Flowers Gone?," "Turn, Turn, Turn." Largely misunderstood and criticized for his strong beliefs in social justice, he was picketed, protested, blacklisted, and in spite of his enormous popularity, banned from commercial televison for over 17 years. This was at a time when there was no alternative to commercial TV, no cable channels, no local cable community channels, no satellite TV, no internet. Only the big three networks: ABC, CBS and NBC and a very few educational channels in a handful of cities (pre-PBS). Musicians including Bob Dylan, Arlo Guthrie, Joan Baez, Bonnie Raitt, Bruce Springsteen, Natalie Maines and Peter, Paul & Mary appear in this intimate portrait and discuss Seeger's lasting influence on the fabric of American music.

Poster: Sophie Scholl The True Story of The Woman Who Defied Hitler
$10.00 $8.00 On Sale!
P-SSWWDH
11" x 17" High Gloss poster stock
Photograph of German college student anti-Nazi activist and member of the White Rose, a secret student group at the University of Munich in Germany during the Nazi regime. The group mimeographed a series of six leaflets against the Nazis, which the Third Reich considered an act of treason against the German state. The students were arrested, interrogated, and within five days brought before a "kangaroo court" ("The People's Court"), charged, prosecuted, sentenced and taken from the courtroom directly to the guillotine to be beheaded. The Nazi's needed to make an example of the White Rioe students. The German government feared that there may have been other Germans clandestinely opposed to the Nazi dictatorship. Under a fascist dictatorship, people are executed by the state for merely leafletting. Sophie Scholl (1923-1944) and the White Rise students' courage in the face of such a regime stands out still today as an example to be honored, remembered and emulated if and when totalitarianism takes over another country.

DVD-BS
a film by Adolfo Doring 2008 88 minutes
In this haunting portrait of America's oil-fueled excesses, director Adolfo Doring explores the inextricable link beteen the energy we use, the way we run our economy, and the multiplying threats that now confront the environmental health and stability of our planet. Taking as its starting pint the inevitable energy depletion scenario known as "Peak Oil," the film surveys a fascinating range of the latest intellectual, political and scientific thoght to make the case that by whatever measure of greed, wishful thinking, neglect or ignorance, we now fin d ourselves at a disturbing crossroads: we can continue to burn fossil fuels and witness the collapse of our ecology, or we can choose not to and withness the collapse of our economy. Refusing to whitewash this reality, BLIND SPOT issues a call to action, urging us to face up to the perilous situation we now find ourselves in, o that we might begin to envision a realistic, if inconvenient, way out. Certain to inspire debate in classrooms across a range of disciplines, especially in economics, environmental studies, the natural sciences, and political science.
