A thoughtful antidote to the blah blah blah of CNN and network news, Anti-Americanism provides a subtle unpeeling of US global domination and multiple political and cultural responses to it. If you want to understand what the news is calling anti-Americanism, this is the book to read." —Neil Smith, author of American Empire: Roosevelt’s Geographer and The Prelude to Globalization Ever since George Washington warned against "foreign entanglements" in his

From the big bang to the appearance of human beings, this booklet examines the sequence of creation events and how they align with science. Freshly updated for the 21st century, this booklet makes a great introduction to RTB’s message.
