Essentials Of American Politics

Essentials Of American Politics

Essentials of American Politics is an undergraduate text with a novel analytical and comparative focus. It takes as a central theme the increasing tension in American politics between a general philosophy of limited government and particular public demands for more and better government programs and services. While this has always been a feature of the American polity recent events have brought it into sharp focus. Both a Republican Congress and Democratic president extol the virtues of less government but continue to grapple with demands for improved education health care transportation and almost every other area of social and economic life. All praise the virtues of lower taxation and at the same time promise improvements in the quality of public services. A similar tension applies in the courts in state politics and indeed throughout the system. Recent successes such as a balanced budget have been achieved in part because the limited government philosophy has been on the ascendant and has won support from all shades of political opinion. But conflicts over the distributional questions of who gets what has hardly subsided. In few other democracies is this tension as well defined as in the United States and Essentials reminds readers of this fact through comparison with democratic processes in other countries and in particular with European countries. Essentials weaves this theme into a discussion of American national politics. Up to date and well organized chapters are devoted to beliefs and values the Constitution federalism Congress presidency the federal bureaucracy interest groups and the courts. Policy chapters include economic social and foreign affairs. In all chapters the analytical approach explains to students some of the main controversies in American political science. At all times Essentials seeks to impart basic information on American politics in an analytical but stimulating manner. Features:Concise format of 17 chapters that cover instit

The Dog in the Dickensian Imagination

The Dog in the Dickensian Imagination

Fascinated by them unable to ignore them and imaginatively stimulated by them Charles Dickens was an acute and unsentimental reporter on the dogs he kept and encountered during a time when they were a burgeoning part of the nineteenth-century urban and domestic scene. As dogs inhabited Dickens’s city so too did they populate his fiction journalism and letters. In the first book-length work of criticism on Dickens’s relationship to canines Beryl Gray shows that dogs real and invented were intrinsic to Dickens’s vision and experience of London and to his representations of its life. Gray draws on an array of reminiscences by Dickens’s friends family and fellow writers and also situates her book within the context of nineteenth-century attitudes towards dogs as revealed in the periodical press newspapers and institutional archives. Integral to her study is her analysis of Dickens’s texts in relationship to their illustrations by George Cruikshank and Hablot Knight Browne and to portraiture by late eighteenth- and nineteenth-century artists like Thomas Gainsborough and Edwin Landseer. The Dog in the Dickensian Imagination will not only enlighten readers and critics of Dickens and those interested in his life but will serve as an important resource for scholars interested in the Victorian city the treatment of animals in literature and art and attitudes towards animals in nineteenth-century Britain.
