This DVD uses pictures and quotations from the Founding period of the US to discuss the idea of liberty as it was understood by the revolutionary generation and how the concern for the preservation of liberty culminated in the writing of the Constitution in 1787. How many students know how the US came to dissolution in the decade before the Constitution was signed? This DVD tells the turbulent story of America's trials and tribulations in the period between the signing of the Declaration of Independence and the adoption of the Constitution. Visually, the film brings the story to life and introduces the viewer to what 18th century America looked like. There are shots of artefacts from the Liberty Bell to the clothing and money of the time. There are scenes of restored historical sites, and images from the great American painters of the age illustrate the patriots and the historical events they created. 'Interviews' with the founders themselves bring the rich history of the framing of the Constitution to life.

In the Lunar Oracle, Liberty Phi teaches that harnessing the power of the lunar phases can help you make sense of what's happening around you and may even unleash some moon magic.Harnessing the power of the moon can give us control over our lives.

This DVD shows how the economic transformation of Hong Kong from a modest trading centre to a modern industrial and free-trade economy (prior to China's annexation) came about through a reliance on the market and economic liberty rather than on central planning through governmental direction. Great Britain established the crown colony of Hong Kong in 1841, just 65 years after the publication of 'The Wealth of Nations'. It was designated a free port from the start, with no duties or protective tariffs for its residents. This DVD takes an in-depth look at the economy of Hong Kong in its final days as a British colony. We see how it was transformed into a modern industrial economy solely by reliance on he invisible hand of the market. Seeing Hong Kong as a laboratory experiment that confirms Adam Smith's theories, the DVD outlines a proven strategy for the development of emerging economies and a powerful argument for a capitalist economy bolstered by balanced budgets, low tax rates, and avoidance of government borrowing.

In Conceiving Masculinity, Liberty Walther Barnes puts the world of male infertility under the microscope to examine how culturally pervasive notions of gender shape our understanding of disease, and how disease impacts our personal ideas about gender. Taking readers inside male infertility clinics, and interviewing doctors and couples dealing with male infertility, Barnes provides a rich account of the social aspects of the confusing and frustrating diagnosis of infertility. She explains why men resist a stigmatizing label like "infertile," and how men with poor fertility redefine for themselves what it means to be manly and masculine in a society that prizes male virility. Conceiving Masculinity also details how and why men embrace medical technologies and treatment for infertility. Broaching a socially taboo topic, Barnes emphasizes that infertility is not just a women's issue. She shows how gender and disease are socially constructed within social institutions and by individuals.

Few individuals did more to both extend our understanding of the economic processes of the free society and alert us to the dangers inherent in the growth of political power than the Nobel laureate economist and social theorist Friedrich A Hayek. In over half a century of writing and teaching, he showed why National Socialism was the very antithesis of capitalism, why communism was an economic and political philosophy ultimately doomed to failure, and why we must be wary of government intervention if we are to preserve the freedoms that make democracy and prosperity possible. In a life that spanned almost the entire 20th century, Hayak went from being dismissed, ridiculed and ignored, to being acclaimed as perhaps the century's most significant social scientist and philosopher.
