The Return
of Common Sense
by Felix R. Toro, M.D. |
The Return of Common Sense addresses how special interest
groups and their indoctrinologists have fundamentally changed the
core of American society, shifting its public and private policy

the narrow needs of a few, however contrary to what most people
would consider common sense, are imposed on all. Such self-serving
policies, by definition, ignore the broader picture, leaving society
to suffer the consequences.

How the Chinese Language Defines Women
by Lorraine Huang |
Lorraine Huang, scholar, has created not only a major
contribution to feminist Chinese calligraphic history, but an art
piece as well in The Woman Radical: How the Chinese Language
Defines Women. Her illustrations, inked on a variety of papers,
and interpretative text demonstrate not only the early linkage
between the feminine divine and the domestic female, but its
denigration when used for patriarchal dominance. The book will
