	George Washington's Rules of Civility and Decent Behavior  George Washington George Washington, the father of our country, exhibited notable manners throughout his life. At the age of 14, Washington wrote down 110 rules under the title "Rules of Civility and Decent Behavior in Company and Conversation." These rules were drawn from an English translation of a French book of maxims and were intended to polish manners, keep alive the best affections of the heart, impress the obligation of moral virtues, teach how to treat others in social relations, and above all, inculcate the practice of a perfect self-control.

	Washington: A Life  Ron Chernow In "Washington: A Life," celebrated biographer Ron Chernow provides a richly nuanced portrait of the father of our nation. With a breadth and depth matched by no other one-volume life of Washington, this crisply placed narrative carries the reader through his troubled boyhood, his precocious feats in the French and Indian War, his creation of Mount Vernon, his heroic exploits with the Continental Army, his presiding over the Constitutional Convention, and his magnificent performance as America's first president. Despite the reverence his name inspires, Washington remains a lifeless waxwork for many Americans, worthy but dull. In this groundbreaking work, Chernow shatters forever the stereotype of a stolid, unemotional man. Hardback. Faculty/Staff and Alumni Discount applies. ISBN #W316 From: N/A $40.00

George Washington's Rules of Civility with Observations by James Henry II  George Washington and James Henry II In this beautifully bound and illustrated book, James Henry II brings you the one hundred and ten rules that guided the life of George Washington.

	The Ascent of George Washington  John Ferling Our first president has long been viewed as a stoic hero who rose above politics. "The Ascent of George Washington" peers behind that image - one carefully burnished by Washington himself - to reveal a leader who was not only political, but a master manipulator adept in the arts of persuasion, leverage, and deniability. Washington screened his burning ambition behind an image of republican virtue - but that image made him just the leader that an over-matched army, and a shaky young nation, desperately needed.
