The Teuton and the Roman
By Charles Kingsley, edited and abridged by J. W. Jamieson.
Contents include: The Forest Children; The Dying Empire;
The Human Deluge; Latham's Germania; The Gothic Civilizer;
Dietrich's End; The Nemesis of the Goths; Paulus Diaconus;
The Laws of the Lombards.
Rome died and its empire collapsed when wealth corrupted
the social system and continual warfare sapped the bloodstream
of the original founders so that its armies had to be recruited
from the diverse peoples and the nations it had conquered.
The final death blow was delivered by Germanic Goths and
Lombards, who had retained a sense of tribal loyalty in
the procreative haven of their northern forests.
In this entertaining book the reader will be carried along
by the dramatic style of the popular English writer and
scholar Charles Kingsley. The text provides an enlightening
account of early Germanic culture, while movingly describing
the decadence of the latter-day Roman empire, and the revitalization
of its Italian territories under the conquering Germanic
nations that settled and repopulated Northern Italy.
SB, 122 pages. Maps of the German Homeland and Roman Italy.

Family, Kin and City-State: The Racial Underpinning
of Ancient Greece and Rome
By Fustel de Coulanges, edited & revised by J. W. Jamieson.
It was not the sky gods but a consciousness of the importance
of heredity and a devotion to the Family and Kindred that
provided the basis of the social and political organization
of ancient Greece and Rome.
Early Greek and Roman society was organized around the family
and the kinship group. Citizenship was determined by birth,
and aliens were not only barred from acquiring any political
rights and the ownership of property but even from residence
within the city except as slaves or bonded clients. Indeed,
even the sky gods were personal to kinship groups, and of
less significance than the Lars and Penates, the ancestral
spirits and gods of the family hearth.
Chapters include: The Importance of the Lineage; The Sacred
Hearth Fire; Marriage and Procreation; Kinship and Property;
Moral Law; Gens, Phratry, Tribe and Nation; The Domestic
Religion as the Moral Foundation of the Ancient City-State.
SB, 108 pages.

The Origin of the English Nation
By Professor H. Munro Chadwick.
A highly detailed account of the origin of the Anglo-Saxons,
Germans, Jutes and Danes with four maps showing the ancient
homelands in Scandinavia, Germany and Britain early in the
present era.
It has often been said that the English nation had sprung
from diverse racial origns, but while it indeed represents
an amalgam of Anglo-Saxons, Germans, Jutes and Danes, with
related Celtic elements, these peoples were all closely
related. Even the Celts are now believed to have separated
from the Germanic speakers only a thousand years or so B.C.,
when they spread out in all directions from the common Germanic-Celtic
homeland north of the European Alps.
Contents include: The Saxons, Angles and Jutes in Britain;
The Angles and Saxons in Germany; The Danish Settlers; The
Classification of the Ancient Germanii.
SB. 232 pages.

Eastern Interlude
By Professor Roger Pearson.
A gripping account of British life in the capital city of
their Indian Empire, their treatment of the Indian population,

the capital of British India was moved from Bengal to New
Delhi. This is a vivid pen picture which reveals the day-to-day
life and epic adventures of the kind of people who made
Europeans a dominant force in world history. Their attitudes
to the native peoples and the rise of racial consciousness
are described. First published in 1954, in Calcutta, India,
and later reprinted in the USA.
Chapters include: Merchant Adventurers; The Early Settlement;
Growth and Prosperity; The Rule of the Nabobs; Imperial
Splendor; The Merchant Princes; and Victorian Calcutta.

POLITICS AND CURRENT AFFAIRS
Socioeconomic Systems of Russia since the 1850s By Ernest Raiklin Ph.D.
This heavily documented 732-page book, replete with charts and tables, is the first to provide a definitive account of socioeconomic trends in Russia stretching from Czarist times, through the various stages of Soviet rule, to the transitions taking place in the contemporary Post-Soviet era.
As such it will prove to be an invaluable guide and detailed resource for students of economics, sociology and politics alike, with an emphasis on facts and figures pertaining to socioeconomic systems and their development.
Following an Introductory Section explaining the basic analytical concepts, methods, and philosophical concepts, author Raiklin divides his epic study into major sections representing distinct historical periods, each of which are subdivided into a plenitude of chapters. These major groupings of topics are as follows:
- The Pre-Soviet Socioeconomic System: The 1850s - November 1917
- The First Stage in the Development of the Soviet Socioeconomic System: War Communism (1918 - 1921)
- The Second Stage in the Development of the Soviet Socioeconomic System: The New Economic Policy (1921 - 1928)
- The Last Stage in the Development of the Soviet Socioeconomic System: The Stalinist Model in Making (1928 - Late 1930s)
- The Theoretical Framework of the Stalinist Model Revisited The Last Stage in the Development of the Soviet Socioeconomic System: The Stalinist Model in Operation (1940 - 1991)
- The First Stage in the Development of the Post-Soviet Socioeconomic System (1991 -Present)
- An Attempt to Anticipate the Future, or the Second Stage in the Development of the Post-Soviet Socioeconomic System

Race, Intelligence and Bias in Academe
By Professor Roger Pearson. Introduction by Hans Eysenck.
This book documents efforts in American academe and the
media to suppress research into the important role played
by race and heredity in determining intelligence and other
vital human qualities. It presents scientific evidence
of the significance of heredity, and details how well-known
scholars have been intimidated from speaking the truth.
It provides concrete evidence of media distortion and
reveals the Marxist orientation of scholars who have persistently
attempted to deny the importance of genetic differences
in Humankind.
Contents include: Hans J. Eysenck: "Science and Racism";
Science and Heredity from Francis Galton and Karl Pearson
to World War II); The Legacy of Marx, Mannheim and Lysenko;
Scientific Luddites and Neo-Lysenkoists; The Anti-science
Views of Gould, Lewontin, Kamin and Marxist Student Organizations;
The Persecution of Scholars who Investigate Race Differences

Policy; Conclusion - The Influence of Heredity on Human
Personality as Confirmed by the findings of the Minnesota

Heredity and Humanity: Race, Eugenics and Modern Science
By Professor Roger Pearson.
Race and heredity were accepted facts in Western science
until Marxists and fellow travelers infiltrated Western
academe and subverted objectivity on the subject. Yet notwithstanding
the fact that contemporary scientists are influenced by
fear that politically motivated criticism might affect their
careers, and in some cases simply by the fear that their
research might raise racial tensions, the evidence for inherited
differences in both physical (as evidenced in sports) and
mental abilities is now substantiated.
"Political correctness," a euphemism for politically motivated
suppression of the truth, still seeks to obfuscate the findings
of science, but must eventually lose its grip as scientific
research, which began with twin studies, DNA, blood groups,
and is now represented by the Human Genome project, increasingly
reveals the significant role of heredity and distinctive
descent groups on human affairs.
Contents: The Concept of Heredity in the Ancient World;
The Discovery of Evolution - Eugenics and the Pioneers of
Modern Science; Eugenicists as Conservationists; Race as
a Nation-Building Ideal; Radical Egalitarianism Penetrates
Academe; Egalitarianism Ascendant - Marxism Strengthens
the Anti-Hereditarian Cult; Media and Academic Persecution
of "Hereditarian" Scholars; Twin Studies, Blood
Group Research and Modern Genetics; DNA Analysis and the
Racial History of Man; Eugenics and Modern Medical Science;
Genetics and the Future of Humankind.

Shockley on Eugenics and Race
Edited by Professor Roger Pearson.
Winner of the 1956 Nobel Prize as co-inventor of the transistor,
Professor William Shockley of Stanford University was also
a scientific researcher in the fields of intelligence and
genetics.
Contents include a lengthy preface by renowned Berkeley
psychologist Professor Arthur Jensen as well as an introduction
by Roger Pearson; an account of Shockley's life history;
and a series of Shockley's own papers including his suggestion
that the U.S. might consider offering a cash bonus to any
younger persons of low IQ who voluntarily agreed to sterilization.
This "thinking exercise" suggested that volunteers might
be offered a pecuniary award directly related to the extent
to which their IQ fell below 100. This and twenty-two of
Shockley's original articles on heredity, eugenics, and
dysgenic trends in the U.S. — no longer available elsewhere
— are reprinted in this remarkable volume.

MYTHOLOGY
Germanic Mythology
By Jakob Grimm, translated by Vivian Bird.
An analysis of the pre-Christian myths, legends and folk
beliefs of the continental West German peoples. Unlike
the North Germans of Iceland, much of whose heathen mythology
survived in the Eddas and Sagas, the ancient religious
beliefs of the continental Germanic peoples survived only
in scattered fragments. Jacob Grimm was one of the two
famous brothers Grimm who assiduously collected the only
remaining bits and pieces of Germanic mythology and folklore
that survived the coming of Christianity, and this is
the only English translation ever made of his epic analysis
of the spirit and character of Germanic heathendom, based
on the materials he and his brother collected.
