This book is a compilation of my best online lectures between the years 2002 and 2004. They cover varied subjects in History, Politics, and Philosophy. Most of the History lectures are American History since the Civil War. Lectures in Philosophy vary from logic, to ethics, to political economy. There are also some lectures in the area of Public Administration. The greatest benefit that one can derive from reading this book lies in acquiring a deeper understanding about how the world, and especially the American society, works. The book is densely packed with content, and yet I believe, it is a fascinating and enjoyable read, if the reader is eager to understand more about the world in which he or she lives.
