In today's resurgence of radical right-wing politics, we must never forget how things were in the past, during the turbulent McCarthy era.

Successful in each encounter, Lamont's landmark decisions continue to buttress the rights of us all to this day.The book includes a Foreword by Bertrand Russell, an Introduction by H. H. Wilson, and a new Epilogue by the author dated February 1981. The book includes extensive Notes, a Selected Bibliography, and an Index.This version of Freedom Is As Freedom Does: Civil Liberties in America is the Third Printing, 1981.

First published in 1940, A Humanist Funeral Service has been helpful for over half a century to people not comfortable with the religious format of typical funeral services. The author, renowned humanist Corliss Lamont, last revised the text in 1977. Now, from her own experience as a humanist chaplain, Beth K. Lamont, widow of Corliss Lamont, has added two new scripts of humanist services, and has welcomed a new updated edition by humanist J. Sierra Oliva, who has added new dimensions and a new emphasis on celebrating the deceased's life in these suggested scripts for last rites.As in earlier versions of the book, there are meditations and eloquent passages of prose and poetry to express appreciation, grief, and farewell when a friend or loved one dies. One may choose according to individual preference the text and music deemed to be most appropriate.The service is dignified and reminiscent of past relationships with the deceased, stressing love, the beauty of life, the human kinship with nature, and the naturalness of death.In the quest for solace at a time of grief, one can turn to this nonreligious service for security, comfort, and purpose in accepting the finality of the loss of a loved one.
