New condition navy blue boards with gold spine lettering contained in a new condition non price-clipped illustrated dust jacket. Includes Preface; Acknowledgments; Bibliography consisting of: Chronological List of PUblications, List of Authors Cited, and List of Periodicals Cited; Contributors and Colophon. "American conservatism's most ferocious internecine controversy in years erupted when First Things, a journal of religion and public life, published a symposioum on "the judical usurpation of politics," boldly raising the question "whether we have reached or are reaching the point where conscientious citizens can no longer give moral assent to the existing regime." A far-flung debate ensued, engaging scores of contestants in countless journals and newspapers. Collected here is the original November 1996 symposioum "The End of Democracy? The Judicial Upurpation of Politics," in which Robert Bork, Russell HIttinger, Hadley Arkes, Charles Colson, Robert George, and the editors of First Things confront five decades of judicial decrees arrogating to the courts the final say on abortion, euthanasia, homosexuality, obsenity, and other fundamental questions of how we order our lives together. Responses from twenty eminent commentators follow, ranging from praise for the symposium's forthright engagement of distressing but urgent questions to condemnation of its reckless flirtation with rebellion. An extended review of the contours and implications of the controversy by Father Neuhaus rounds out the volume. The End of Democracy? places in the reader's hands everything he needs for a command of the salient constitutional debate of the decade. In addition, an exhaustive bibliography lists virtually every article published about or in response to the First Things symposium. Contributors: Hadley Arkes, William J. Bennett, Peter L. Berger, Walter Berns, Tom Bethell, Robert H. Bork, David Brooks, Charles W. Colson, Midge Decter, James C. Dobson, Samuel Francis, Robert P. George, Mary Ann Glendon, Jacob Heilbrunn, Gertrude Himmelfarb, Russell Hittinger William Kristol, Norman Podhoretz, Ramesh Ponnuru, John J. Reilly, Irwin M. Stelzer, and George Weigel." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.

Descrizione dello Store

Vero Beach Books is an antiquarian bookseller with a constantly updated inventory of rare out-of-print books, signed books, children's books, plus a large inventory of ephemeral items such as major U.S. city newspapers going back 100 years and more, golden and silver age fine condition comic books (soon to be added), and many other ephemeral items as well as much more recent popular volumes. We have been in business for 25 years, originally known as Emerson Books (named after one of our owner's favorite authors, to wit, Ralph Waldo Emerson) located back then in Westport, Connecticut. That said, we are here to serve you, to offer you fine quality items that are conservatively described so that you will always be pleasantly surprised and delighted with your purchase. Twenty-five years in the bookselling business has borne out our stellar service oriented reputation; the only difference is that now we are located in the almost always sunny and warm climate of Vero Beach, Florida. Again, we are here to serve you and, as was the case when we were previously known on ABEBooks.com as Emerson Books, we will continue to offer our very popular 100% free search service for those hard to find books rare and out of print books. Oftentimes we are also able to obtain these rare finds at very good discounts to our customers' so it is always worth contacting us in such cases!
