Objectivism In One Lesson
An Introduction to the Philosophy Of Ayn Rand

Ayn Rand’s novels are beloved by the American people and by many others around the world. The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged, for example, have each sold millions of copies and continue to sell well over 100,000 copies annually, decades after their publications. Because of their brilliant plot structures and vivid characterizations, these books are widely read and admired. As millions of readers have discovered, Ayn Rand wove her revolutionary philosophy of Objectivism inextricably into the plots, characters, and actions of these novels, suffusing them with a rare intellectual depth.

Ayn Rand wrote many non-fiction books and essays, as well, but no comprehensive theoretical presentation of her philosophy. The definitive treatment of her thought is Leonard Peikoff’s Objectivism: the Philosophy of Ayn Rand (OPAR). Dr. Peikoff, Ayn Rand’s leading student and long-time associate, wrote an in-depth work in philosophy that is ideal for advanced students; but it was never intended as an introduction to Objectivism. Consequently, a bridge is needed, an introductory text for the millions of readers who love Ayn Rand’s novels and who want to take the next step in understanding her philosophy that will culminate with their study of OPAR.

Objectivism in One Lesson is that text.

Last of the Swashbucklers:
The Exalted Heroism of Alistair MacLean’s Novels
It is inconceivable that Alistair MacLean’s novels are currently out of print in America. Inconceivable and criminal — because MacLean is one of the few authors of the past 100 years who manifests both a genuine comprehension of man’s potential for heroism and an ability to convincingly dramatize it in literary form.

In Defense of The Cowboy 
...to most Americans, the cowboy is not a villain but a hero. What we honor about the cowboy of the Old West is his willingness to stand up to evil and to do it alone, if necessary. The cowboy is a symbol of the crucial virtues of courage and independence.

Heart of a Pagan:  The Story of Swoop

“...(M)asterly crafted...I found myself unable to put the book down...”
Victor H. Miller, Adjunct Professor of Philosophy

Swoop - the hero of Andrew Bernstein's novel, Heart of a Pagan,
is not only a visionary, a philosopher, and a genius - he's the world's greatest athlete. And he's on a mission from the gods - the pagan gods of Ancient Greece - to inspire the worship and achievement of mental, physical, and moral excellence.

Thus, using basketball as a metaphor, through the irrepressible character of Swoop, and the unstoppable, unbeatable Swoop Troop, this story takes us from the conquests of Alexander the Great and the feats of Achilles and Odysseus to the basketball court - and back again.
