Cambridge University Press Algernon Sidney and the Restoration Crisis 1677 1683
Book SynopsisThis is the second and final part of an intellectual biography of the English republican, Algernon Sidney, which was begun in 1988 with Algernon Sidney and the English Republic 16231677. It is also a detailed examination and reinterpretation of the major political crisis of Charles II's reign.Trade Review"...a stunning achievement. Scott delivers an almost tangible Sidney, and he creates a dramatic sense of immediacy about the personal and political crises of Sidney's turbulent life. Scott's Sidney is more of a philosopher, but no less a man of action--even violent action....Scott's work--poignant and epigrammatic--promises to become authoritative." American Historical Review"...the virtues of Scott's study must be insisted upon. He has, more than anyone else, restored a major figure to our attention, sympathetically recounting his life, closely analyzing his work, and placing him in broad context." History"This is intellectual biography of a high order; the result is a good read for both specialist and generalist." Thomas Rumsey, Religious Studies Review"...a masterful study, written with pace, verve, and immense wit. The reader's interest is sustained throughout, despite the complex nature of the argument in places, and Sidney comes alive for us from the pages of this book--warts and all--which I found literally impossible to put down." Tim Harris, Journal of Modern History"This excellent book takes us back to the foundation of historical research, the primary sources upon which Scott based his conclusions."

Cambridge University Press Machiavelli The Prince
Book SynopsisThis new edition of the acclaimed translation of Niccolò Machiavelli''s The Prince - revised for the first time after thirty years - includes a rewritten and extended introduction by Quentin Skinner. Niccolò Machiavelli is arguably the most famous and controversial figure in the history of political thought. The Prince remains his best-known work, and throws down a challenge that subsequent writers on statecraft and political morality have found impossible to ignore. Quentin Skinner''s introduction offers a lucid analysis of Machiavelli''s text both as a response to the world of Florentine politics and as a critical engagement with the classical and Renaissance genre of advice-books for princes. This new edition also features an improved timeline of key events in Machiavelli''s life, helping the reader place the work in the context of its time, in addition to an enlarged and fully updated bibliography.Table of ContentsEditorial note; Introduction; Principal events in Machiavelli's life; Bibliographical note; Translator's note; Map: northern and central Italy, c.1500; Dedicatory letter: Niccolò Machiavelli to His Magnificence Lorenzo de' Medici; 1.

Cambridge University Press Solutions to Political Polarization in America
Book SynopsisPolitical polarization dominates discussions of contemporary American politics. Despite widespread agreement that the dysfunction in the political system can be attributed to political polarization, commentators cannot come to a consensus on what that means. The coarseness of our political discourse, the ideological distance between opposing partisans, and, most of all, an inability to pass much-needed and widely supported policies all stem from the polarization in our politics. This volume assembles several top analysts of American politics to focus on solutions to polarization. The proposals range from constitutional change to good-government reforms to measures to strengthen political parties. Each tackles one or more aspects of America's polarization problem. This book begins a serious dialogue about reform proposals to address the obstacles that polarization poses for contemporary governance.Table of Contents1. Introduction Nathaniel Persily; 2. Causes and consequences of polarization Michael Barber and Nolan McCarty; 3. Confronting asymmetric polarization Jacob Hacker and Paul Pierson; Part I. Reforming the Electoral System: 4. Polarization and democratization Arend Lijphart; 5. Eroding the electoral foundations of partisan polarization Gary C. Jacobson; 6. Solutions to polarization Elaine C. Kamarck; 7.

HarperCollins Publishers Inc 1968
Book SynopsisNow in paperback, a major history of one of the seminal years in the postwar world, when rebellion and disaffection broke out on an extraordinary scale.The year 1968 saw an extraordinary range of protests across much of the western world. Some of these were genuinely revolutionary—around ten million French workers went on strike and the whole state teetered on the brink of collapse. Others were more easily contained, but had profound longer-term implications—terrorist groups, feminist collectives, gay rights activists could all trace important roots to 1968.1968 is a striking and original attempt half a century later to show how these events, which in some ways still seem so current, stemmed from histories and societies which are in practice now extraordinarily remote from our own time. 1968 pursues the story into the 1970s to show both the ever more violent forms of radicalization that stemmed from 1968 and the brutal reaction that brough

HarperCollins Publishers Inc Fool Proof
Book SynopsisThe fear of playing the fool is a universal psychological phenomenon and an underappreciated driver of human behavior;Trade Review"Wool is nice. So why do we just hate having it pulled over our eyes? Why would we rather be poor than cheated, mistaken than misled? Why would we rather be corpses than chumps? Smart, beautifully written, and grounded in science, Fool Proof explains how our aversion to being duped can make us the biggest suckers of all time. This book is a gem. Trust me. Would I lie to you?" — Daniel Gilbert, Harvard University, best-selling author of Stumbling on Happiness “Fascinating, highly original, and terrific. Wilkinson-Ryan gets at the heart of a fundamental problem - and greatly illuminates law, policy, and human life in the process." — Cass R. Sunstein, Harvard University, co-author of The New York Times bestseller Nudge: Improving Decisions About Health, Wealth, and Happiness "The fear of playing the sucker is so engrained in our psyches that it seems to be instinctual. But, as Fool Proof brilliantly reveals, exploitation narratives are profoundly shaped by racist and sexist stereotypes and frequently weaponized to bolster an inequitable social order. Contracts expert, moral psychologist, and mother of two, Tess Wilkinson-Ryan draws on a fascinating trove of empirical research and familiar experiences to question the tradeoff between avoiding scams and caring for each other—and to illuminate a path to greater moral integrity." — Dorothy Roberts, University of Pennsylvania, author of Killing the Black Body: Race, Reproduction, and the Meaning of Liberty “Thought-provoking and delightful on every page, Fool Proof is one of those books every curious reader will find themselves in. It reads like a fascinating conversation with someone brilliant you just met at a dinner party. With expertise and enthusiasm to burn, Wilkinson-Ryan has crafted a book I won’t be cooling off from anytime soon.” — Amanda Montell, author of Cultish and Wordslut

Penguin Books Canada Ltd Party of One
Book SynopsisIn time for the federal election that promises to be a referendum on Stephen Harper's tenure, Party of One is a scathing look at the majority government of a prime minister determined to remake Canada. In Party of One, investigative journalist Michael Harris closely examines the majority government of a prime minister essentially unchecked by the opposition and empowered by the general election victory of May 2011. Harris looks at Stephen Harper's policies, instincts, and the often breathtaking gap between his stated political principles and his practices. He argues that Harper is more than a master of controlling information; he is a profoundly anti-democratic figure. In the F-35 debacle, the government's sin wasn't only in keeping the facts from Canadians, it was in inventing them. He illustrates how Harper has made war on every independent source of information in Canada since coming to power. H
