Objectivity is a core element of rationality, a cardinal virtue in the Objectivist ethics—and in any moral code that aims to help people live their best lives. But practicing objectivity is a challenge in light of emotional and other obstacles. David Kelley offers seven questions to ask ourselves in the effort to practice this virtue and maintain our alignment with reality. The questions are illustrated with examples from business, relationships, political argument, psychology, and other domains.

The Atlas Society’s Pocket Guide to Terms is a glossary of 42 terms defined from an Objectivist perspective. Included are terms familiar to readers of Ayn Rand, such as “egoism,” integrity,” “individualism,” and “sacrifice,” as well as terms deserving wider acceptance. “Benevolence,” for example, which is defined as “a commitment to achieving the values derivable from life with other people in society, treating them as potential trading partners, recognizing their humanity, independence, and individuality, and the harmony between their interests and ours.” And “gratitude”––“a state of appreciation of what is good in one’s life and the values received from others.” The Pocket Guide to Terms is an accessible, quick reference for anyone who wants to think about, and discuss, important philosophical and psychological concepts.

A beautiful, mysterious woman becomes the first female to step foot on Strastnoy Island -- formerly a sea-bound monastery, now home to one of the Soviet Union's most infamous prisons. The notorious Commandant Kareyev -- aka "The Beast" -- has requested the Soviet State send him a female companion, who presents herself as a former high-priced call girl. Little does Karayev know she's actually Joan Harding, an American citizen, who's infiltrated with a mission: to free her husband, Michael Volkontzev. Joan struggles to fool "The Beast," while striving to compel her true husband to keep her secret and follow her plan. Her grudging respect, and growing feelings for the Commandant add unanticipated complications to her masterful game. Award-winning artist Dan Parsons has again teamed up with The Atlas Society's Jennifer Grossman for this adaptation of Red Pawn, an early screenplay written by Ayn Rand. Similar to Rand's first published novel, We the Living, Red Pawn dramatizes the evils of dictatorship, specifically of Soviet Russia.In this adaptation we introduce one of the lesser known heroines of Ayn Rand's works to a new generation of readers and fans of graphic novels, and artistically dramatize both the horrors of collectivism and the timeless themes of individualism, heroism, and romantic love.

The Fountainhead is the story of Howard Roark, a brilliant architect who stands alone against the hostility of conventional architects and a society that prizes conformity over innovation. The theme, in Ayn Rand’s words, is “individualism versus collectivism, not in politics, but in man's soul.” The theme is embodied in Roark’s conflicts with a socialist who schemes to destroy him; a media magnate whose trashy newspaper plays to the masses but, despite himself, becomes Roark’s closest friend; and a beautiful woman who loves Roark but works to undermine him. In the course of the novel, Roark’s interactions with these and other characters bring out the true nature of independence and of man’s creative potential.\nThe Pocket Guide to The Fountainhead, by The Atlas Society, is a thorough, quick, and easy-to-use readers’ tool for fans and first-time readers alike. It includes a complete plot synopsis of the novel and an alphabetical guide to the novel’s cast of characters. Whether you are reading the novel for the first time or the fifteenth, this Pocket Guide will help you stay abreast of all the twists and turns in Rand’s epic portrayal of creators on strike.
