| GRAHAM, HUGH Vestibule of Hell, the . . . Why Left and Right Have Never Made Sense in Politics and Life Toronto: Stoddart Pub, 2001. First.

Jacket protected in New, clear, non-stick mylar sleeve ... Excellent Gift Giving quality ... The terms " left " and " right " have become ingrained in our minds - in politics, economics, social theory, and in everyday life ... But, as Hugh Graham argues in this fascinating book, these concepts have always distorted and limited the way we think about politics and ourseleves - and this is true today more than ever ... Socialism versus capitalsim, collectivism versus individualism, government programs versus the free market: all these oppositions add up to an obsolete and constricting worldview ... Could it be that left and right are religious ideas derived from sacred and profane heaven and hell? ... Graham explores the past, present, and future of left and right, focussing on the French Revolution and taking readers through the Industrial Revolution, communism and fascism, past the Cold War, and into our current puzzling state of affairs ... And Graham offers powerful hope for a more mature, nuanced sense of community and individuality ... It is time, Graham says, to deconstruct our obsolete idea of "left" and "right" and create a new, less polarized politics, a politics of streets and people rather than of heaven and hell ...

| MURRAY, KATHLEEN SHOON Anchors Against Change - American Opinion Leaders ' Beliefs After the Cold War . . . Illustrated with Tables & Charts USA: University of Michigan Press, 1999. Later Printing. Hard Cover in Dust Jacket. Tables & Charts. 6-1/2 x 9-1/2 x 1" 0472107585 1999 Hardcover in DJ, later printing ...Brand new from publisher ... Never opened , Never owned, Never marked ... Jacket protected in New, clear non-stick mylar sleeve ... Excellent Gift Giving quality ... 224 pages ... illustrated with B&W tables and charts ... Author Kathleen Shoon Murray is Assistant Professor of Political Science, School of International Service, American University, Washington, D.C .... ' The end of the Cold War also ended the organizing paradigm of American foreign policy since World War II, containment of Communism. How the attitudes towards American involvement abroad of opinion leaders were affected by the collapse of the Soviet Union is critical in predicting the shape of future American foreign policy ... This book investigates how American leaders' foreign policy opinions changed once they revised their views about the Soviet Union .... and explores what this tells us about the sources and structure of their belief system.... The end of the Cold War provides a rare opportunity to explore the causal connection between external circumstances and Americans' belief systems ... While it is true that, for Americans, the denouement of the Cold War was a peaceful process ... and therefore less shocking and traumatic than some past wars .... the event still marked an enormous change within the international environment ... If Americans' perceptions about the former Soviet Union did in fact dictate many other foreign policy beliefs ... then we could expect deep attitudinal change to accompany the end of the Cold War .... Murray argues that the upheavals in the international system had only limited effect on the foreign policy beliefs of American leaders and that opinion leaders have adhered to their old postures about how the United States should conduct itself in the world ... She explains this continuity by finding a strong relationship between the domestic beliefs of leaders and their orientation toward American activities abroad. Domestic political orientation was a stronger influence on the elite's attitude toward foreign policy than the elite's image of the Soviet Union ... This book suggests that elite political actors apply the same or kindred values to circumstances at home and abroad ... This book will appeal to social scientists interested in studying elite opinion as well as students of the foreign policy process and those interested in the formation of American foreign policy in the post cold war era.

Brand new from publisher ... Never opened, Never owned ... feltpen mark bottom edge ... Gift Giving quality ... 320 pages ... illustrated with B&W photos and maps ... The country of Turkey ... Called " the sick man of Europe " at the beginning of the 20th centur y, 100 years of history have done nothing to effect a cure on a thoroughly dysfunctional Turkey ...

Turkey's "modernist revolution," created by Kemal Ataturk and his successors, has failed to create a cohesive state ... Instead it has increasingly divided the people of this once proud empire ... Nowhere has this been illustrated more tragically than in the universal cry of dispair among the victims and survivors of the devastating earthquake of 1999: "Where is the state...?" ... How and why has this happened? ... How and why it happened typifies the chaos that is Turkey today ... " Anatolia Junction - A Journey into Hidden Turkey " ... by Fred A.

| SIM, STUART Fundamentalist World - the New Dark Age of Dogma - By Stuart Sim London: Icon Pub, 2004. 2004 Printing. Hard Cover in Dust Jacket. 5-1/2 x 8" 1840465328 2004 Hardcover in DJ ... Brand new from publisher ... Never opened, Never owned, Never marked ... Excellent Gift Giving quality ... Jacket protected in New, non-stick clear mylar sleeve ... 252 pages with index .... The collapse of the Argentinian economy, the rise of the far right ... 9/11, suicide bombings in the Middle East .... campaigns against multiculturalism, anti-abortion terrorism, the militia movement in America, teaching creationism in schools, riots at Miss World - what ties these seemingly unrelated phenomena together ? .... All are products of a fundamentalist mentality, determined to crush all opposing ideas ... Belief in these kinds of universal theories was, until recently, assumed to be in decline ... Author Stuart Sim argues that this is far from true ... History, power, security, control, fulfilment, purity, identity and self-definition are key themes of the curiously modern renaissance of fundalmentalist thought ... And fundamentalism is no fringe enthusiam, but an increasing mainstream and powerful influence ... Whether it's religious, political, imperialist, nationalist or even market fundamentalism , believe it - we live in an increasingly fundamentalist world ... ' Fundamentalist World : The New Dark Age of Dogma ' ... by Stuart Sim ... published by Icon, London ... 2004 printing Hardcover in Dustjacket ... ***. New/New .
