El arte de gobernar
Book SynopsisMás allá de las ideologías: el arte de lo posible.Después de cuatro décadas dedicadas a la política ?como diputado, miembro del Consejo de Ministros y presidente del Gobierno?, Mariano Rajoy comparte en estas páginas los aprendizajes que la realidad le ha enseñado en el ejercicio del poder, una síntesis de sus convicciones más profundas.La experiencia convertida en sabiduría política.Con la autoridad de quien ha gobernado España durante una de sus crisis más graves y la perspectiva de quien ha vivido la política desde dentro, el expresidente nos ofrece una mirada sin concesiones sobre el arte de gobernar. Una obra esencial para comprender los fundamentos de la política como servicio público y los retos que enfrentan las democracias del siglo XXI.Reflexiones desde el corazón del poder.Este libro es una colección de principios concisos y directos sobre los aspectos humanos del gobierno, los pilares de la democracia y los desafíos del mundo contemporáneo. Desde el respeto a las instituciones hasta la amenaza del populismo, Rajoy aborda con claridad y experiencia los temas que definen nuestro tiempo.La política, por dura que sea en ocasiones, merece la pena. Un político es un ciudadano que se dedica a los intereses públicos y que toma decisiones para organizar todo lo que afecte a los mismos. Es alguien que sirve a una comunidad y trabaja para mejorar la vida de la gente. Mariano RajoyLa política es el espejo de la vida. No funciona en un laboratorio científico ni en el mundo platónico de las ideas, sino aquí y ahora, en un tiempo y en un lugar determinados. Benigno Pendás

Oxford University Press Tom Watson
Book SynopsisThis paperback reissue will replace the trade paperback edition (GB 102) which is now discontinued. Southern Populist leader Thomas E. Watson was a figure alternately eminent and notorious. Born before the Civil War, he lived through the turn of the century and past the close of the First World War, pursuing his career in an era as changing and paradoxical as himself. In the 19th century, Watson championed the rising Populist movement, an interracial alliance of agricultural interests, against the irresistible forces of industrial capitalism. The movement was broken under the wheels of the industrial political machine, but survived into the 20th century in various fantastic shapes ... to be understood mainly by the psychology of frustration''. Political frustration transformed Watson as well, from liberal to racial bigot and from popular spokesman to mob leader. In this biography, through careful study of public and private writings, and through objective and tolerant exposition, Mr. WTrade ReviewA model of its kind....A sympathetic understanding of broad social movements, a mature appreciation of character, an original interpretation of economic facts and factors, an incisive criticism of political techniques, and a literary style that is always vigorous and sometimes brilliant. * Henry Steele Commager, New York Herald Tribune Books *

Clarendon Press Whigs and Cities
Book SynopsisWhigs and Cities is the first major study of the urban politics of the early Hanoverian era. The book challenges the view that the political nation was of minimal significance, highlighting the critical contribution of the larger towns to the agitations which beset Walpole and swept Pitt to power. At the same time the book is attentive to the different rhythms and trajectories of urban politics and seeks to show, through a study of Bristol, Norwich, and the metropolis, the relative strength of the opposition sentiment and its social configurations, the persistence of local antagonisms, and the interplay of economic interest and political clientage. It ends with a discussion of crowds and political festivals which sheds new light on the grass-roots dynamics of urban political culture.Trade Review'A book of outstanding learning and research.' S.E. Goodman, Journal of the London Society`an important study of Hanoverian urban politics' Archives'What he adds that is new is the detail and subtlety that can only come from precise, grass-roots analysis.' Times Literary Supplement'indispensable to students of urban politics in the reign of the first two Georges' Eveline Cruikshank, History Today'the book is a major contribution to our understanding of the 18th century' Times Higher Education Supplement'This is a very substantial study, and a stimulating one ...A distinguishing merit of this thoughtful study is the range of source material on which the author draws ... the book has a freshness and vigour which should commend it to the interested reader.' Joanna Innes, Somerville College, Oxford, Labour History Review, Vol.55, No.3, Winter 1990'a splendid treatment of its theme, missing no opportunity to bring out the importance of the subject, but resisting the tempation to claim too much ... Rogers has provided us with what must be, for some time to come, the standard work on the cities and larger towns of the early Hanoverian period.' Brian W. Hill, University of East Anglia, English Historical Review, January 1991`Professor Roger's long-awaited study of urban politics in the middle decades of the eighteenth century makes an important contribution to the current debate concerning the nature of the Hanoverian political system ... we can be fully appreciative of the importance of Professor Roger's achievement: he has provided us with a model of metropolitan and provincial political culture in the early Hanoverian period which will be the benchmark for future studies in this area.' History`a fine piece of work which certainly deserves the attention of all interested in the history of urban politics. It breaks new ground, particularly in its examination of cities outside London, and deserves to become a standard for research in the field.' Malcolm Greenshields, Urban History Review'important and lucidly argued volume ... Professor Rogers would be the first to admit that a lot more work has still to be done on urban politis. But his fine ground-breaking study has opened up the theme and pointed the way.' Angus McInnes, University of Keele, British Journal of 18th-Century Studies, 15:1'an impressive command of primary sources ... Rogers has substantially contributed to our understanding of the complexities and contradictions of the political landscape in the early Hanoverian period. His work will be an important guide for future exploration of the urban political terrain.' Carla H. Hay, Marquette University, American Historical Review, June 1992'With this impressive book, highly readable and excellently constructed, Rogers has supplied further support for his demand that we look seriously at popular politics in the English cities ... this work contains a great deal of fresh material ... excellent book.' Jonathan Barry, University of Exeter, Parliamentary History, Vol. II, No. 2, 1992'The limits to Whig oligarchy and the changing configuration of party politics in the early Hanoverian era are themes explored in Nicholas Rogers's superb study, Whigs and Cities.'

OUP USA Going to Extremes
Book SynopsisWhy do people become extremists? What makes people become so dismissive of opposing views? Why is political and cultural polarization so pervasive in America?In Going to Extremes, renowned legal scholar and best-selling author Cass R. Sunstein offers startling insights into why and when people gravitate toward extremism. Sunstein marshals a wealth of evidence that shows that when like-minded people gather in groups, they tend to become more extreme in their views than they were before. Thus when liberals group get together to debate climate change, they end up more alarmed about climate change, while conservatives brought together to discuss same-sex unions become more set against same-sex unions. In courtrooms, radio stations, and chatrooms, enclaves of like-minded people are breeding ground for extreme movements. Indeed, Sunstein shows that a good way to create an extremist group, or a cult of any kind, is to separate members from the rest of society, either physically or psychologically. Sunstein''s findings help to explain such diverse phenomena as political outrage on the Internet, unanticipated blockbusters in the film and music industry, the success of the disability rights movement, ethnic conflict in Iraq and former Yugoslavia, and Islamic terrorism. Providing a wealth of real-world examples--sometimes entertaining, sometimes alarming--Sunstein offers a fresh explanation of why partisanship has become so bitter and debate so rancorous in America and abroad.Trade Review"A path-breaking exploration of the perils and possibilities created by polarization among the like-minded."--Kathleen Hall Jamieson, co-author of unSpun and Echo ChamberTable of Contents1.
