Blogwars
ISBN: 9780195305579 / Angielski / Twarda / 2008 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Political blogs have grown astronomically in the last half-decade. In just one month in 2005, for example, popular blog DailyKos received more unique visitors than the population of Iowa and New Hampshire combined. But how much political impact do bloggers really have?
In Blogwars, David D. Perlmutter examines this rapidly burgeoning phenomenon, exploring the degree to which blogs influence--or fail to influence--American political life. Challenging the hype, Perlmutter points out that blogs are not that powerful by traditional political measures: while bloggers can offer cogent and...

ISBN: 9780195306163 / Angielski / Twarda / 2006 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Gary Hart has long been one of the nation's foremost experts on national security, combining a deep knowledge of national security policy with first-hand experience of the political realities that influence how America safeguards itself and its interests.

Hart argues for a security of the commons,...

ISBN: 9780195306378 / Angielski / Twarda / 2006 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The only book of its kind, The New Inquisitions is an exhilarating investigation into the intellectual origins of totalitarianism. Arthur Versluis unveils the connections between heretic hunting in early and medieval Christianity, and the emergence of totalitarianism in the twentieth century.

An exceptionally wide-ranging work, The New Inquisitions begins with...

No Exit: What Parents Owe Their Children and What Society Owes Parents
ISBN: 9780195306415 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In order to create a more secure world for children and their parents, Anne Alstott argues, we must fundamentally change the way we think about parents' obligations to children--and about society's obligations to parents. Drawing on the same innovative thinking that propelled her and Bruce Ackerman's influential work The Stakeholder Society, Alstott proposes a solution both pragmatic and controversial. She outlines two unsentimental proposals intended to improve parents' economic options while respecting every individual's own choices about how best to combine paid work and...

Hating America: A History
ISBN: 9780195306491 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Reviled as an imperialist power, an exporter of destructive capitalism, an arrogant crusader against Islam, and a rapacious over-consumer casually destroying the planet, it seems that the United States of America has rarely been less esteemed in the eyes of the world. In such an environment, one can easily overlook the fact that people from other countries have, in fact, been hating America for centuries. Barry Rubin and Judith Colp Rubin here draw on sources from a wide range of countries to track the entire trajectory of anti-Americanism. With this powerful work, the Rubins trace the...

Human Security Report 2005: War and Peace in the 21st Century
ISBN: 9780195307399 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 170 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Since the end of the Cold War, armed conflicts have increasingly taken place within, and not between, states. Boundaries between political and criminal violence are becoming increasingly blurred, while the very definition of "security" is undergoing radical change. Today, security is about the protection of communities and individuals from internal violence as well as the defense of borders against external threats. It is this focus--on the individual rather than the state--which distinguishes "human security" from "national security." National security is about protecting the state; human...

Religion and Politics in Post-Communist Romania
ISBN: 9780195308532 / Angielski / Twarda / 2007 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In the post-communist era it has become evident that the emerging democracies in Eastern Europe will be determined by many factors, only some of them political. Throughout the region, the Orthodox, Roman Catholic, and Greek Catholic churches have tried to impose their views on democracy through direct political engagement. Moreover, surveys show that the churches (and the army) enjoy more popular confidence than elected political bodies such as parliaments. These results reflect widespread disenchantment with a democratization process that has allowed politicians to advance their own agendas...

Rogue Regime: Kim Jong Il and the Looming Threat of North Korea
ISBN: 9780195308914 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. What happens when a dictator wins absolute power and isolates a nation from the outside world? In a nightmare of political theory stretched to madness and come to life, North Korea's Kim Jong Il made himself into a living god, surrounded by lies and flattery and beyond criticism. As over two million of his subjects starved to death, Kim Jong Il roamed between palaces staffed by beautiful girls and stocked with expensive international delicacies. Outside, the steel mills shut down, the trains stopped running, the power went out, and the hospitals ran out of medicine. When the population...

The Folly of Empire: What George W. Bush Could Learn from Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson
ISBN: 9780195309027 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. A century ago, the Theodore Roosevelt administration believed building an American empire was the only way the U.S. could ensure its role in the world, but came to see the occupation of the Philippines as America's "heel of Achilles." Woodrow Wilson, shocked by the failure of American intervention in Mexico and by the outbreak of World War I, came to see imperialism as the underlying cause of war and set about trying to create an international system to eliminate empires. But, the current Bush administration, despite the lessons of the past, has revived the older dreams of American...

ISBN: 9780195309157 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 640 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The presidency and the agencies of the executive branch are deeply interwoven with other core institutions of American government and politics. While the framers of the Constitution granted power to the president, they likewise imbued the legislative and judicial branches of government with the powers necessary to hold the executive in check. The Executive Branch, edited byJoel D. Aberbach and Mark A. Peterson, examines the delicate and shifting balance among the three branches of government, which is constantly renegotiated as political leaders contend with the public's paradoxical...

It seems almost daily we read newspaper articles and watch news reports exposing the growing epidemic of obesity in America. Our government tells us we are experiencing a major health crisis, with sixty percent of Americans classified as overweight, and one in four as obese. But how valid are these claims? In Fat Politics, J. Eric Oliver shows how a handful of doctors, government bureaucrats, and health researchers, with financial backing from the drug and weight-loss industries, have campaigned to create standards that mislead the public. They mislabel more than sixty million...

ISBN: 9780195329414 / Angielski / Twarda / 2008 / 376 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. American politics is most notably characterized by the heated debates on constitutional interpretation at the core of its ever-raging culture wars, and the coverage of these lingering disputes are often inundated with public-opinion polls.
