Isbn 0-470-85048-5, 0470850485. political science, textbooks. Charts the rise and fall of the spin culture of the last two decades.. Every decade has its own identity, key values and needs. The 1990s were the age of spin, when the materialism of the 1980s, the desire for instant communication and soundbite democracy came together in the spin culture. This spread throughout society from business and politics even to charities and the church. Somewhere in these polished communications the message was lost. In this fascinating and highly readable work George Pitcher tells the story of the rise and fall of the spin culture, predicting its final death in the early years of the twenty first century. He examines methods of communication as a reflection of and within the context of the values of society and the process of democracy, before drawing on his considerable experience both as the giver and receiver of spin, to examine how we can move beyond the age of spin. A zeitgeist work that captures the quest for meaning in the current age and a desire to progress beyond the heady days of spin culture. Charts the history and rationale of spin throughout society from the early days of Margaret Thatcher to the death of spin in the hands of the masters of the spin culture. Interspersed with the author's own diary entries as a journalist covering major events of the past twenty years Discusses methods of communication, how they reflect the values of the age and the relationship between business and politics Discusses the way ahead: how politicians, businesses and institutions can communicate with the general population in the post spin age. Author offers a unique perspective with insights both as the giver and receiver of spin. Used: Acceptable.

RENSHON, S

High Hopes

Routledge. 1998. (ISBN: 9780415921473). Paperback. Paperback in very good condition, looks unread. Renshon (political science, CUNY) presents a reasoned psychological interpretation of President Clinton's development, character, and leadership. Much to his credit, he recognizes political psychology as only one approach to predicting presidential performance. Clinton's character does not inspire confidence, he notes. Surprisingly, his ambition, integrity, interpersonal relations, and background make him similar to Richard Nixon rather than to Kennedy and Franklin Roosevelt, the presidents to whom he likes to be compared. Renshon is not optimistic that Clinton's character can change if he is reelected and argues that the House Republicans remain the best check on the president's mercurial behavior. David Maraniss's First in His Class (LJ 3/1/95) and John Brummett's Highwire (LJ 9/15/94) are two excellent narratives that Renshon relies on heavily. This controversial study will appeal mostly to students of the presidency and political psychology. Recommended for large general libraries and subject collections. Karl Helicher. Why is Bill Clinton "a president of extremes, combining immense personal and political skills with equally evident personal and political flaws?" Renshon, a City University of New York political science professor, applies comparative psychoanalytic theory to Clinton's character (emphasizing ambition, integrity, and relatedness), to specific behaviors (the draft, his choice of spouse), and to Clinton's approach to his office and critical decisions as president. Renshon sees Clinton's alcoholic stepfather as just one challenge within an unusually difficult childhood and goes beyond conflict-avoidance generalities in suggesting key consequences of that childhood experience in Clinton's adult personality and character. Renshon's study stresses the importance of the match (or mismatch) between public expectations and leaders' performance; even readers who find the author's psychological analysis of Clinton convincing may question Renshon's reading of the public mood in '92, '94, and '96. But the op-ed crowd will no doubt pick up some of this book's more noteworthy conclusions, so libraries serving political junkies will want to add it to their shelves. Mary Carroll.
