Wilkins, Japanese Studies, Vol. 36 (1), June, 2016)“This timely book is a valuable companion to understanding the foreign and security policy initiatives undertaken by the second Abe Shinzō administration. The book’s six brisk chapters assess the origins, domestic impact, and international ramifications of Abe’s security and diplomatic revolution. … this book is required reading for understanding the contours of change in Japan’s security system in the Abe era and it will appeal to Political Science and Japanese Studies scholars, as well as practitioners and students.” (Giulio Pugliese, Asien, Vol. 139, April, 2016)Table of Contents1.

Secret City is not gay history. It is American history.George StephanopoulosWashington, D.C., has always been a city of secrets. Few have been more dramatic than the ones revealed in James Kirchick's Secret City.For decades, the specter of homosexuality haunted Washington. The mere suggestion that a person might be gay destroyed reputations, ended careers, and ruined lives. At the height of the Cold War, fear of homosexuality became intertwined with the growing threat of international communism, leading to a purge of gay men and lesbians from the federal government.

Rowman & Littlefield Globalization and Urbanization
Book SynopsisDuring the past decade, the world reached the point of becoming more urban than not, as the majority of people on the planet now live not in small towns or villages but in provincial, national, and global cities. Scholars have long been fascinated by so-called global cities, world cities, and the urban engines of the global economy. James H. Spencer argues, however, that such an emphasis misses the central fact that urbanization goes well beyond the usual suspects of New York, Tokyo, London, and Shanghai. The author charts urbanization across the Global South and North, resulting in what he describes as a planetary global urban ecosystem. This concept that challenges us to realize that in daily life, their similar physical and social ecosystems that make cities more understandable to each other than to their own rural hinterlands. Spencer's vivid case studies of Addis Ababa, Ho Chi Minh City, Honolulu, and New York draw out the commonalities of our intertwined built and social environmTrade ReviewFueled by advances in electronic communication and transportation technology, the globe is becoming more and more urbanized. Over the past two decades the expanding megacities of the Global South have had and continue to have a profound effect on the character of globalization at this critical historical juncture. Spencer’s book is a path-breaking contribution to our understanding of this process. -- Edmond J. Keller, University of California, Los AngelesThis book illuminates and excites with its fresh approach to globalization and urbanization. Spencer argues for a new approach to understanding contemporary cities, highlighting four cities that are connected to world processes of long-distance interaction. Offering an innovative lens for interpreting and understanding cities in the new century, his work will appeal to new and seasoned students alike. -- Yue-man Yeung, Chinese University of Hong KongJames Spencer’s superb new study points us in a different direction as we struggle to understand the rapid urban transformation sweeping the planet. Spencer argues that an overly heavy emphasis on the change occurring in such 'global cities' as New York, Tokyo, London, and Shanghai is causing us to miss the most important panorama, the urban transformation of Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa. He takes us on a grand tour to shift our perspective. He does not want us to miss what is perhaps the most important transformation in world history. -- Elliott Sclar, Columbia UniversityWhether from the perspective of supporters/critics or specialists/nonspecialists, the related processes of globalization and urbanization are two of the defining trends of the 21st century. Spencer utilizes secondary scholarly literature, life stories, popular media, and personal experiences to make sense out of the diversity of the ‘global urban ecosystem.’ While each city has its own history, culture, and physical environment, the attractive ones benefit from three characteristics: economic and productivity efficiencies, differences and diversities, and a global connectivity. In order to provide a picture of what this ecosystem looks like, Spencer devotes four of his seven chapters to a tour of cities that illustrate each of his three types. Two of these cities are from the Global South and represent ‘Do-Your-Timers’ (Saigon and Addis Ababa), and two are from the Global North and represent ‘Old-Timers’ (Honolulu) and ‘For-All-Timers’ (New York). However, ‘every city has elements of each, but it is the particular combination and concentrations that give individuality to any case.’ This well-written, insightful, and informative book should appeal to all professionals and nonprofessionals interested in acquiring a new lens through which to make sense of the interrelated processes of globalization and urbanization.

Lexington Books Justice Rehnquist the Supreme Court and the Bill
Book SynopsisThe Bill of Rights and Civil War Amendments created a triangular power struggle among state, nation and individual. Using chronological court cases, this book examines how the Supreme Court became arbiter among the three claimants to power, sometimes backtracking and sometimes taking a bold leap forward. Focusing on Justice Rehnquist's lengthy term on the Supreme Court, Steven T. Seitz examines the growth and emphasis of individual sovereignty throughout the twentieth century. Highlighting some of the dispositional problems with Rehnquist decisions, the book uses the sustainable case law standard instead of applauding either conservative or liberal point of view which provides new vantage points on topics like equal protection of women, due process in several arenas, contracts, free speech, sex, and guns.Trade ReviewSteven Seitz has written a fascinating history of the Supreme Court by looking at how particular areas of law – such as privileges and immunities, due process, criminal procedure, sex discrimination, free speech, and guns – have changed over time. The book is clearly written and accessible so that both experts and those with little familiarity of constitutional law can benefit from reading it. By focusing on the decisions, and not what commentators say about them, Seitz offers an excellent picture of how constitutional law has evolved over the course of American history. -- Erwin Chemerinsky, University of California Berkley Law SchoolTable of ContentsChapter 1: The Two ConstitutionsChapter 2: Dred ScottChapter 3: Privileges and ImmunitiesChapter 4: Due ProcessChapter 5: Criminal ProcessChapter 6: Equal Protection for WomenChapter 7: Asserting Federal PowerChapter 8: ContractsChapter 9: Free Speech and CorporationsChapter 10: SexChapter 11: Guns

Threshold Editions The Democrat Party Hates America
Book SynopsisINSTANT #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER The eight-time #1 New York Times bestselling author, radio host, and Fox News star returns to the page to reveal the radically dangerous Democrat agenda that is upending American life. In American Marxism, Mark Levin explained how Marxist ideology has invaded our society and culture. In doing so, he exposed the institutions, scholars, and activists leading the revolution. Now, he picks up where he left off: to hold responsible the true malefactors steering our country down the wrong path. Insightful and hard-hitting as ever, Levin proves that since its establishment, the Democrat Party has set out to rewrite history and destroy the foundation of freedom in America. More than a political party, it is the entity through which Marxism has installed its philosophy and its new revolution.

Open Road Media Blind Ambition: The White House Years
Book SynopsisA six-month New York Times bestseller: “Not only the best Watergate book, but a very good book indeed” (The Sunday Times). As White House counsel to Richard Nixon, a young John W. Dean was one of the primary players in the Watergate scandal—and ultimately became the government’s key witness in the investigations that ended the Nixon presidency. After the scandal subsided, Dean rebuilt his career, first in business and then as a bestselling author and lecturer. But while the events were still fresh in his mind, he wrote this remarkable memoir about the operations of the Nixon White House and the crisis that led to the president’s resignation. Called “fascinating” by Commentary, which noted that “there can be little doubt of [Dean's] memory or his candor,” Blind Ambition offers an insider’s view of the deceptions and machinations that brought down an administration and changed the American people’s view of politics and power. It also contains Dean’s own unsparing reflections on the personal demons that drove him to participate in the sordid affair. Upon its original publication, Kirkus Reviews hailed it “the flip side of All the President’s Men—a document, a minefield, and prime entertainment.” Today, Dean is a respected and outspoken advocate for transparency and ethics in government, and the bestselling author of such books as The Nixon Defense, Worse Than Watergate, and Conservatives Without Conscience. Here, in Blind Ambition, he “paints a candid picture of the sickening moral bankruptcy which permeated the White House and to which he contributed. His memory of who said what and to whom is astounding” (Foreign Affairs). Trade Review“Before you know it, you are turning the pages of Mr. Dean’s book as if you are reading about Watergate for the first time. And by the time you have finished, you are convinced that no previous book about the scandal—not even those by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein—has begun to tell the inside story as this one does.” —The New York Times “A lively chronicle of megalomania and deception . . . Eminently readable . . . Dean is particularly good at reading the intricate network of White House power relationships, which he once climbed so surely.” —The New York Times Book Review “The best and most enduring book written from inside the Nixon White House . . . A classic of lost illusions.” —Sidney Blumenthal, New York Times–bestselling author of The Clinton Wars “Rare indeed is a memoir so utterly lacking in self-righteousness, false piety, and special pleading. It is a sobering reminder of the perils of ambition.” —Stanley Kutler, author of The Wars of Watergate Table of Contents Dedication Contents Preface Author’s Note 1 Reaching for the Top, Touching Bottom 2 Firefighting 3 The Tickler 4 Linchpin of Conspiracy 5 Containment 6 Closing In 7 Breaking Point 8 Scrambling 9 Going Public 10 On Camera Journal: July 1973–January 1975 Index About the Author

Skyhorse Publishing Lets Start the Revolution
Book SynopsisIn his latest eye-opening exploration, political maverick Ralph Nader dissects the astonishing twists and turns of the 2020 presidential election, a race that left the nation on the edge of its seat. Although Joe Biden clinched victory with a substantial popular vote lead, Nader unveils the precarious nature of the outcome, where a mere 100,000 votes in key swing states could have catapulted Donald Trump back to the presidency. In Let's Start the Revolution Nader asks: How did the Democrats, despite winning the 2020 election, find themselves teetering on the edge of defeat? The answers, he finds, lie in the Democratic Party's gradual decline into decrepitude—a self-isolation from blue-collar America, an unhealthy fixation on corporate funding, and an alarming aversion to introspection. Nader argues that the Democrats' abandonment of their base and failure to address critical issues allowed the Republicans to solidify their hold on key sta

Little, Brown & Company Stop Mass Hysteria: America's Insanity from the
Book SynopsisSince Donald Trump's historic ascendance to the presidency, American politics have reached a boiling point. Social and economic issues, even national security, have become loud, violent flashpoints for political rivals in the government, in the media and on the streets. This collective derangement has a name: mass hysteria.In his new book, Stop Mass Hysteria, #1 New York Times bestselling author Michael Savage not only deconstructs the Left's unhinged response to traditional American values like borders, language, and culture, but takes the reader on an unprecedented journey through mass hysteria's long history in the United States. From Christopher Columbus to the Salem Witch trials to the so-called "Red Scares" of the 1930s and 40s and much more, Dr. Savage recounts the many times collective insanity has gripped the American public -- often prompted by sinister politicians with ulterior motives.Dr. Savage provides vital context for the common elements of dozens of outbreaks of mass hysteria in the past, their causes, their short and long-term effects, and the tactics of the puppet masters who duped gullible masses into fearing threats both real and imagined. By shining a light on the true nature and causes of American mass hysteria in the past, Savage provides an insightful look into who and what is causing dangerous unrest in our lives -- and why.

Monthly Review Press,U.S. Trump in the White House: Tragedy and Farce
Book SynopsisRemember that metaphor about the frog that slowly cooks to death in the pot of increasingly warm water? Leftists have used it for years to describe how people can accept dwindling health care, fading job opportunities, eroding racial and gender equality''as long as the loss occurs gradually. Now, with Donald Trump having slouched off to Washington, most of the mainstream media are working overtime to convince us that we can still stand the heat. Leave it to John Bellamy Foster, one of the world''s outstanding radical scholars, to expose Trump for who and what he is: a neo-fascist. Just at the boiling point, Foster offers us cool logic to comprehend the system that created Trump''s moral and political emergency''and to resist it.In Trump in the White House, John Bellamy Foster does what no other Trump analyst has done before: he places the president and his administration in full historical context. Foster reveals that Trump is merely the endpoint of a stagnating economic system whose liberal democratic sheen has begun to wear thin. Beneath a veneer of democracy, we see the authoritarian rule that oversees decreasing wages, anti-science and climate-change denialism, a dying public education system, and expanding prisons and military''all powered by a phony populism seething with centuries of racism that never went away.But Foster refuses to end his book in despair. Inside his analysis is a clarion call to fight back. Protests, popular demands, coalitions: everyone is needed. Change can''t happen without radical, anti-capitalist politics, and Foster demonstrates that''even now, with the waters ever warming''it may yet be possible to stop the desecration of the Earth; to end endless war; to create global solidarity with all oppressed people. Could a frog do that?
