Waking the Sleeping Giant

Beaufort Books — Tue, 29 Nov 2011 20:50:10 +0000

Mainstream America has for too long been the sleeping giant of American politics. As mainstream Americans, we mind our own business, take care of our own responsibilities, and play by the rules. We know that there is no quick path to personal success or to national prosperity. But the ruling class has come to see the mainstream as largely irrelevant as a political force, when we are the backbone that supports the body politic. We work, pay our taxes, and vote. Then we go back to work and hope that those in power will do the right thing. We have trusted the dogs of the political class to guard our lunch, and they have eaten it. Something needs to change. Before we can equip the sleeping giant for the struggle ahead of us, however, we need to wake that sleeping giant. The Awakening Giant exposes liberal techniques and teaches mainstream Americans how to counter them to take back the country that our forebears made great, and to make it great again.

Reboot Your Life: Energize Your Career and Life By Taking a Break

Beaufort Books — Wed, 19 Jan 2011 16:51:57 +0000

More Americans are choosing to take time off from work to relax or re-examine their priorities, so they can return to work energized. Some companies offer formal sabbatical programs, but how can the average person take time off to evaluate their direction, explore their passions, and make time for the things that are really important?

Whether you’re disillusioned with your career, yearning to follow a dream, or taking time out after a layoff, now is the time to step back and reboot. This book will show you how you can give yourself the best gift ever–the gift of time. People who take sabbaticals report feeling happier, and they return to their jobs refreshed, reinvigorated, and ready to tackle new challenges.

Reboot Your Life draws upon the experiences of the four authors and their interview subjects: 200 people who have taken sabbaticals and 150 organizations offering sabbatical programs. The book includes real-life stories and exercises to help the reader figure out how to plan for and take a sabbatical, or how to use unexpected time off.

Bon Courage: Rediscovering the Art of Living In the Heart of France

Beaufort Books — Wed, 15 Dec 2010 17:00:35 +0000

One year and one arduous home-renovation into their marriage, Ken and Bing head to the French countryside to celebrate their long-delayed honeymoon, swearing they’re getting out of the home-fixing business for good. When they fall in love with the village of La Montaigne Noire, they find themselves buying a fixer-upper and starting all over again—but this time, in French! McAdams recounts their mishaps and misadventures with humor, capturing the essence of French village life, the awkwardness of being foreigners in a close-knit town, the couple’s hilarious linguistic pratfalls, and how the mammoth undertaking that threatens to tear their new marriage apart ultimately brings them closer together and helps them find a place in the community they have grown to love.

Simple, Fresh & Healthy: A Collection of Seasonal Recipes

Beaufort Books — Mon, 04 Oct 2010 16:32:00 +0000

At the end of the day, gather around the table for a simple, fresh, and healthy meal. That’s Linda Hafner’s no-fail formula for a thriving family. With her farm-fresh focus and divide-and-conquer strategy, it’s entirely do-able, even for those with the busiest schedules.

Linda has developed a repertoire of simple, delicious, and visually stunning recipes that celebrate local seasonal produce. She’s a master at cooking in easy increments, so that meals come together in a flash at the end of a busy day. In the time it takes to cook a pound of pasta, Linda can prepare her vibrant Pure Plum Tomato Sauce from scratch. Her signature After-Dinner Salad is much easier, and more nutritious than a prepackaged salad mix drenched in preservatives and processed salad dressing.

And, while fresh, healthy meals are Linda’s priority, she’s also famous for fabulous, indulgent desserts such as her Sublime Strawberry Trifle and Happy Birthday Chocolate Cake. With Linda, it’s all about finding the balance between nourishing the body and fueling the family spirit.

An American Amnesia

Beaufort Books — Tue, 29 Jun 2010 17:30:26 +0000

In An American Amnesia, respected political commentator Bruce Herschensohn reexamines the incredible actions taken by the 94^th Congress and American citizens which led to South Vietnam’s infamous surrender, an event which mars our military record and haunts our political landscape to this day. Drawing on notes, speeches, writings and other primary sources from the 1960s and 1970s, Herschensohn fills in gaps in the historical record and warns against the danger of succumbing to a similar voluntary amnesia in the future.

January 23^rd, 1973: the United States, South Vietnam, North Vietnam, and the Viet Cong sign the Paris Peace Accords, guaranteeing the right of self-determination to the South Vietnamese people.

April 30^th, 1975: President Duong Van Minh of South Vietnam announces the nation’s unconditional surrender to the North, ending the decade long conflict and enabling the merger of both countries into the Socialist Republic of Vietnam. What happened in two short years to cause such a dramatic reversal?

“Bruce Herschensohn is an artist of talent and taste.” – President Lyndon B. Johnson

“Bruce is particularly well qualified in an area I find important, foreign policy. He is an expert in that area.” – President Richard Nixon
