    The Rights of Man First published in two parts in March 1791 and February 1792, Thomas Paine’s The Rights of Man posits that popular political revolution is permissible when a government does not safeguard the natural rights of its people.

    Radical in his philosophy, Paine believed that government must be by and for the people and must limit itself to the protection of their natural rights. But Paine was no libertarian: from a commitment to natural rights he generated one of the first blueprints for a welfare state, combining a liberal order of civil rights with egalitarian constraints.

    This new digital edition of The Rights of Man includes Parts 1 and 2 and all 31 articles from Paine’s original publication. There is also an image gallery.

    The Signal and the Noise: Why So Many Predictions Fail-but Some Don't "One of the more momentous books of the decade."—The New York Times Book Review

    Over 600 5-Star Reviews!

    Nate Silver built an innovative system for predicting baseball performance, predicted the 2008 election within a hair’s breadth, and became a national sensation as a blogger—all by the time he was thirty. He solidified his standing as the nation’s foremost political forecaster with his near perfect prediction of the 2012 election.

    Drawing on his own groundbreaking work, Silver examines the world of prediction, investigating how we can distinguish a true signal from a universe of noisy data. Most predictions fail, often at great cost to society, because most of us have a poor understanding of probability and uncertainty. Both experts and laypeople mistake more confident predictions for more accurate ones. But overconfidence is often the reason for failure. If our appreciation of uncertainty improves, our predictions can get better too. This is the “prediction paradox”: The more humility we have about our ability to make predictions, the more successful we can be in planning for the future.

    With everything from the health of the global economy to our ability to fight terrorism dependent on the quality of our predictions, Nate Silver’s insights are an essential read.
