The Tao of George W. Bush
ISBN: 9780595298839 / Angielski / Miękka / 96 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. President George W. Bush is a twenty-first century Texas politician with values from America's old west. The "Tao Te Ching" is a 2000-year-old Chinese manuscript of wisdom and advice. What would happen if the President were to read this ancient text? Ed Bremson explores this question in "The Tao of George W. Bush," a humorous, sometimes irreverent, imaginative look at the similarities and differences between the Oriental mind and the Texan mind. As the reader will find, the President more than holds his own in this fanciful meeting of East and West.

All Politics Is Loco: Musings from the Conservative Next Door
ISBN: 9780595426515 / Angielski / Miękka / 260 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Many people merely shake their heads when they hear of another useless $10 million federal study, but those same people go nuts when their city approves a thousand dollars for new plants for city hall.

Author Tony Corvo doesn't think so. Expanding on what he has learned as a founding member of his local political action committee, Corvo satirically interweaves local, state, and federal politics as he explains his view of the world-a view that also foresees serious consequences for the United States of America.

Separation of Church and State (Revised)
ISBN: 9780674013742 / Angielski / Miękka / 528 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In a powerful challenge to conventional wisdom, Philip Hamburger argues that the separation of church and state has no historical foundation in the First Amendment. The detailed evidence assembled here shows that eighteenth-century Americans almost never invoked this principle. Although Thomas Jefferson and others retrospectively claimed that the First Amendment separated church and state, separation became part of American constitutional law only much later. Hamburger shows that separation became a constitutional freedom largely through fear and prejudice. Jefferson supported...

The Questions of Tenure
ISBN: 9780674016040 / Angielski / Miękka / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Tenure is the abortion issue of the academy, igniting arguments and inflaming near-religious passions. To some, tenure is essential to academic freedom and a magnet to recruit and retain top-flight faculty. To others, it is an impediment to professorial accountability and a constraint on institutional flexibility and finances. But beyond anecdote and opinion, what do we really know about how tenure works? In this unique book, Richard Chait and his colleagues offer the results of their research on key empirical questions. Are there circumstances under which faculty might voluntarily... Tenure is the abortion issue of the academy, igniting arguments and inflaming near-religious passions.

ISBN: 9780674081154 / Angielski / Miękka / 144 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Breaking the Vicious Circle is a tour de force that should be read by everyone who is interested in improving our regulatory processes.

The State of the Nation: Government and the Quest for a Better Society
ISBN: 9780674292116 / Angielski / Miękka / 496 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Never before have Americans been so anxious about the future of their society. But rarely has anyone offered a clear statement about why, in a nation so prosperous, free, and stable, we tend to assume that the country is in dire straits and that the government can do little to help. This book is just such a statement, an eloquent assessment of where America stands, how our society has changed in the past half-century, and who or what is responsible for our current frustrations. Derek Bok examines the nation's progress in five areas that Americans generally consider to be of paramount... Never before have Americans been so anxious about the future of their society.
