Else a Very Good+ set, without dust jackets. The Mark Twain Papers. ISBN for Vol. I: 0520023269. 'In the summer of 1855, when the nineteen-year-old Sam Clemens traveled from Saint Louis to Hannibal, Paris, and Florida, Missouri, and then to Keokuk, Iowa, he carried with him a notebook in which he entered French lessons, phrenological information, miscellaneous observations, and reminders about errands to be performed. This first notebook thus took the random form which would characterize most of those to follow. About the text: In order to avoid editorial misrepresentation and to preserve the texture of autograph documents, the entries are presented in their original, often unfinished, form with most of Clemens' irregularities, inconsistencies, errors, and cancellations unchanged. Clemens' cancellations are included in the text enclosed in angle brackets, thus ; editorially-supplied conjectural readings are in square brackets, thus [word]; hyphens within square brackets stand for unreadable letters, thus [--]; and editorial remarks are italicized and enclosed in square brackets, thus [blank page}- A slash separates alternative readings which Clemens left unresolved, thus word/word. The separation of entries is indicated on the printed page by extra space between lines; when the end of a manuscript entry coincides with the end of a page of the printed text, the symbol [#] follows the entry. A full discussion of textual procedures accompanies the tables of emendation and details of inscription in the Textual Apparatus at the end of each volume; specific textual problems are explained in headnotes or footnotes when unusual situations warrant. The twelve notebooks in volume 1 provided information about the eighteen years in which the most profound, even dramatic, changes took place in Clemens' life. He early achieved the limits of his boyhood ambition by becoming a steamboat pilot on the Mississippi River, a position there is no reason to believe he would have abandoned if the Civil War had not forced him to do so. In fleeing from a war which principle and temperament prevented him from supporting, Clemens entered into the first stages of his literary career by serving as a reporter for newspapers in Virginia City and San Francisco. When the restricted experiences available to a local reporter had been thoroughly explored, he moved on as a traveling correspondent to the Sandwich Islands and then still farther to Europe and the Near East. The latter travels provided him with material for The Innocents Abroad, the book that established Mark Twain as a popular author with an international reputation in 1869. In 1872 he further exploited his personal history by publishing Roughing It and in the same year visited England to gather material on English people and institutions. He returned to England the following year, this time accompanied by his family and by a secretary who would record the observations printed as the last notebook in volume 1. Volume 2 of Mark Twain's Notebooks and Journals, documenting Clemens' activities in the years from 1877 to 1883, consists largely of the record of three trips which would serve as the source for three travel narratives: the excursion to Bermuda, a prolonged tour of Europe, and an evocative return to the Mississippi River. Despite the common impulse to preserve observations and impressions for literary use, the contents of the notebooks are remarkably different in their vitality-and the works which developed from the notes are correspondingly varied.'.…

Clean and bright throughout, with unmarked text and firm binding, free of inscriptions and stamps. -- An investigation into the historical and epistemological relationship between political regimes and the emergence of political science as an academic discipline. The volume brings together an international cohort of scholars to address a foundational question: is political science inherently a product of liberal democratic regimes, or can it emerge independently in non-democratic or transitional contexts? More than a retrospective of disciplinary development, the volume foregrounds the complex interplay between institutional context and disciplinary practice, arguing that political science cannot be meaningfully understood apart from the regimes within which it develops. The book is divided into two sections. The first, methodological in orientation, features reflective essays on the philosophy of disciplinary history. These chapters challenge readers to consider whether histories of political science can ever be truly neutral, or whether they inevitably serve particular ideological functions - whether Whiggish or pessimistic. Contributors such as John Dryzek, John Gunnell, J.A.W. Gunn, and Malcolm Vout scrutinize how political science narrates its own origins, institutional commitments, and normative assumptions. These discussions, though abstract, raise enduring questions about the character of social scientific inquiry, the meaning of objectivity, and the relationship between disciplinary identity and political values. The second section offers substantive national case studies that track the institutionalization of political science across a spectrum of political systems - from established Western democracies to post-authoritarian transitions and non-liberal regimes. James Farr provides a nuanced account of 19th-century American political thought, showing how political science emerged as both a scholarly and civic enterprise, initially outside of universities. Michael Stein compares the trajectories of the discipline in the US, Britain, France, and Germany, analyzing how differing educational systems and political cultures shaped disciplinary consolidation. Other chapters explore how political science in Hungary and Poland evolved in tension with state Marxism, how democratization opened new possibilities for autonomous scholarship, and how political science developed in regions like Argentina, Japan, and broader Asia. These chapters demonstrate that the discipline's institutional and epistemic forms are deeply shaped by local political and ideological constraints. The overarching argument is not that political science requires liberal democracy to exist, but that its development and form are profoundly influenced by the nature of the surrounding political regime. Indeed, one of the most compelling themes of the volume is that in authoritarian or transitional regimes, political science often arises not as a tool of governance but as a form of intellectual resistance or democratizing critique. Yet the book also asks a reciprocal question often left unexamined: what impact, if any, does political science have on democratic regimes themselves? In today's global context - marked by democratic erosion, authoritarian resurgence, and the politicization of knowledge - Regime and Discipline is more relevant than ever. It provides a necessary framework for reflecting on how political science is produced, institutionalized, and practiced in divergent contexts, and how it might reclaim a more self-conscious role in shaping democratic futures. As higher education faces renewed scrutiny and scholars confront pressures to demonstrate social relevance, this book offers a potent reminder that disciplines are not politically neutral vessels of knowledge, but are historically situated, ideologically embedded, and normatively consequential.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - This study combines in one volume a history and sociopolitical analysis of the group now called the Ralliement des Créditistes, and thus explores the dynamics of a contemporary social and political phenomenon - right-wing protest. In the 1960s, the Ralliement des Créditistes, led by the dynamic Réal Caouette, emerged as a major political force in Quebec. What explains the sudden success of this part What motivated its supporters to join it How far to the right do the Créditistes fall on the ideological spectrum What caused the many internal divisions which plagued the party since its founding In an effort to answer these questions, the author conducted a series of interviews among Créditistes leaders and explored party files, newspapers, and other unpublished materials The first part of the book describes the ideology of Social Credit and traces the development of the movement from 1936 to the present through two phases: mobilization and consolidation. The second part explores the social background, motivations for joining the movement, and the patterns of political participation of a sample of provincial and local leaders. A general model is developed which relates patterns of protest and schismatic behavior to the demographic and attitudinal characteristics of the movement's leaders. This study of the sociological base of a political party will be of special value to students of current Quebec politics.…
