Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very Good. 1st Edition. Hardcover with mylar covered dust jacket. Ex-Library book with appropriate stamps, stickers and markings. Black covers with gold lettering to spine. Pages clean and unmarked. Prominent historian and former President of the Swiss Confederation Georges-André Chevallaz begins his study of Swiss neutrality during World War II with two essential questions: Why, in the face of German imperialism-with its authoritarian, totalitarian, and racist ideology-did Switzerland declare neutrality? Why did it not join the "camp of democracies," or the other European nations who resolved to hold firm against the Germans? Chevallaz's provocative and insightful book, presented here for the first time in English, attempts to answer these questions. Chevallaz further offers an even-handed reevaluation of the role of the principal actors in Swiss politics of the time, notably Marcel Pilet-Golaz, head of the Department of Foreign Affairs, and General Henri Guisan.…

Using network visualization and the study of the dynamics of marriage choices, 'Network Analysis and Ethnographic Problems' expands the theory of social practice to show how changes in the structure of a society's kinship network affect the development of social cohesion over time. Using the genealogical networks of a Turkish nomad clan, authors Douglas White and Ulla Johansen explore how changes in network cohesion are revealed to be indicative of key processes of social change. This approach alters in fundamental ways the anthropological concepts of social structure, organizational dynamics, social cohesion, marriage strategies, as well as the study of community politics within the dynamics of ongoing personal interaction.…

"Jack Miller is a man who loves his country and reveres the political principles on which it was founded. But he fears that younger generations of Americans are not learning or appreciating these principles, so he founded the Jack Miller Center (JMC) to encourage the study and teaching of these principles. This book presents Miller's understanding of American principles and tells of his efforts to found JMC. It is an all-around fascinating read." - Michael Zuckert, University of Notre Dame. "Some claim America is an idea. It isn't; America is a set of shared values where ideas flourish as long as the ideas don't subvert the values. Yes, values are only 'shared' if they are effectively communicated. And our educational institutions are failing in that regard. Miller delivers some stinging rebukes about the present state of education, but he is always optimistic about the future. In this deeply personal and yet universal book, Miller calls us back to teaching the values of the Founding. And the indispensable value at the core of his analysis is one we have nearly forgotten: responsibility." Michael C. Munger, director of PPE Program, Duke University. "Born to be Free is divided into three parts. The first part is about the essence of what Jack Miller learned regarding the beauty and power in our founding principles as the founder of the Jack Miller Center for Teaching America's Founding Principles and History, and as a result of participating in its programs and interacting with so many professors. The second part of Born to be Free describes the Jack Miller Center and how what seemed an impossible task - getting these teachings back onto college campuses - turned into the huge success it has become. The third part of this book gives a brief history of the author's life and explains why education regarding America's founding principles and history is so important to him and why he has committed so much of his time and so many millions of dollars to this project." - from the rear outer cover.…

Wilson, Sean, 1967-. The flexible constitution. Lanham, Md.: Lexington Books, 2013, xxv, 209pp., very good hardcover with printed covers BUT NOTE: publisher's printing errors "a spacing (kerning) flaw", in chapter 13, with print-out of the corrected pages laid in along with explanation, I can't even see the problem. "This is an ambitious work on constitutional theory. Influenced by the views of Ludwig Wittgenstein, Sean Wilson tackles the problem of how a judge can obey a document written in ordinary, flexible language. He argues that whether something is 'constitutional' is not an historical fact, but is an artisan judgment. Criteria are set forth showing why some judgments represent superior connoisseurship and why others do not. Along the way, Wilson offers a potent critique of originalism. He not only explains this belief system, but shows why it is inherently incompatible with the American legal system. His conclusion is that originalism can only be understood as a legal ideology, not a meaningful contribution to philosophy of law. The ways of thinking about constitutional interpretation provided in the book end up challenging the scholarship of Ronald Dworkin and numerous law professors. And the findings also challenge the way that professors of politics often think about whether a judge has 'followed law'"- CONTENTS: Wittgenstein, law and originalism -- Obeying flexible commands -- Is there a fixed meaning? -- Public meaning v. meaning as use -- The flexible constitution -- Structuralism and polysemy -- Law as connoisseur judgment -- The philosophy of Framers' intent -- Why Framers' intent is flawed -- The new originalism -- The Constitution as old society -- Cultural construction -- What originalism really is -- Appendix. The philosophical investigation. ISBN 9780739178157.…
