The Bias Against Guns: Why Almost Everything You've Heard about Gun Control is Wrong by John R Lott
Probing examination of current RKBA issues, without inflammatory rhetoric. Sound research, as well as a section on how to evaluate research. Lott scores another bullseye!

The Politics of the PTA by Charlene K. Haar
It isn't just the teachers' unions that are dominated by special interests that care more about keeping their coffers full than educating young people -- or even getting parents involved in their child's education. A detailed examination of a tarnished American institution.
from Amazon.com, $29.95
Darwinian Politics, by Paul H. Rubin
A thought-provoking examination of the evolution of "political preferences". Wide ranging (and sometimes far-reaching), weaving connections between biological and social sciences.

Administrative Note
There was such a high level of interest in our Book of the Year voting that we're looking into other ways to make the books section of Free-Market.Net more interactive, and of greater value to you.
