Identity, Culture and Globalization: The Annals of the

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Ben-Rafael, Eliezer / Sternberg, Yitzhak, PUBLISHER: Brill Academic Publishers, This book is about contemporary sociological analysis: its discussions, contradictions and controversies. Authors from various backgrounds discuss developments on all continents. The 34 contributions are centered on six themes. The first is multiple modernities, showing us that there is no single road to the modernization of societies. The second theme is globalization, with new concepts like spatialization, world languages and new social movements. In part three, multiculturalism and diaspora movements are viewed as the pivotal factors for change in many societies. The fourth theme is the decline of the accountability of the state, concentrating on the shortcomings of traditional states and the emergence of new resources. In part five, the concept of postmodernity is discussed from the angles of identity, social reality, detachment and legacy. Finally, the sixth part, 'Toward a New Agenda’ looks into the future and lets sociology (or rather social knowledge) play a major part in today’ s society. This volume is a rich collection of practical examples and solid arguments by some of the best sociologists in the world. Buy Now

The End of Energy: The Unmaking of America's Environment,

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Graetz, Michael J., PUBLISHER: MIT Press (MA), Americans take for granted that when we flip a switch the light will goon, when we turn up the thermostat the room will get warm, and when we pull up tothe pump gas will be plentiful and relatively cheap. In The End of Energy, MichaelGraetz shows us that we have been living an energy delusion for forty years. Untilthe s, we produced domestically all the oil we needed to run our power plants, heat our homes, and fuel our cars. Since then, we have had to import most of the oilwe use, much of it from the Middle East. And we rely on an even dirtierfuel--coal--to produce half of our electricity. Graetz describes more than fortyyears of energy policy incompetence--from the Nixon administration's fumbledresponse to the OPEC oil embargo through the failure to develop alternative energysources to the current political standoff over "cap and trade"--and arguesthat we must make better decisions for our energy future. Rather than pushingpolicies that, over time, would produce the changes we need, presidents have swungfor the fences, wasting billions seeking a technological "silver bullet"to solve all our problems. Congress has continually elevated narrow parochialinterests over our national goals, directing huge subsidies and tax breaks tofavored constituents and contributors. And, despite thousands of pages of energylegislation since the s, Americans have never been asked to pay a price thatreflects the real cost of the energy they consume. Until Americans face the factsabout price, our energy incompetence will continue--and along with it the unravelingof our environment, security, and independence.

Common Sense: Addressed to the Inhabitants of America

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Paine, Thomas, PUBLISHER: Cosimo Classics, Society in every state is a blessing, but government even, in its best state, is but a necessary evil; in its worst state an intolerable one; for when we suffer, or are exposed to the same miseries by a government, which we might expect in a country without government, our calamity is heightened by reflecting that we furnish the means by which we suffer. Government, like dress, is the badge of lost innocence; the palaces of kings are built on the ruins of the bowers of paradise. -from Common Sense It is impossible to overstate influence of Thomas Paine-idealist, radical, and master rhetorician-in the creation of America. With this incendiary pamphlet, published anonymously in early , he gave voice to the discontent that gripped the British colonists in the New World with his cries for small government and personal liberty, and his calls to shrug off the tyranny of Crown led directly to the Declaration of Independence only months later. He was the premiere political "blogger" of his day, a man Thomas Edison called "one of the greatest of all Americans," and one today's liberals and progressives still claim as their intellectual forefather. Everyone who values freedom-of speech, of thought, of governance-and the ongoing fight required to maintain it must read and appreciate this, one of the foundational documents of the United States of America. Also available from Cosimo Classics: Paine's The Age of Reason OF INTEREST TO: students of liberal philosophy, reader of American history AUTHOR BIO: Anglo-American political theorist and writer THOMAS PAINE () was born in England and emigrated to America in , bearing letters of introduction from Benjamin Franklin. He also wroteRights of Man ().

What Hath God Wrought: The Transformation of America,

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Howe, Daniel Walker, PUBLISHER: Oxford University Press, USA, The Oxford History of the United States is by far the most respected multi-volume history of our nation. In this Pulitzer prize-winning, critically acclaimed addition to the series, historian Daniel Walker Howe illuminates the period from the battle of New Orleans to the end of the Mexican-American War, an era when the United States expanded to the Pacific and won control over the richest part of the North American continent. Howe's panoramic narrative portrays revolutionary improvements in transportation and communications that accelerated the extension of the American empire. Railroads, canals, newspapers, and the telegraph dramatically lowered travel times and spurred the spread of information. These innovations prompted the emergence of mass political parties and stimulated America's economic development from an overwhelmingly rural country to a diversified economy in which commerce and industry took their place alongside agriculture. In his story, the author weaves together political and military events with social, economic, and cultural history. He examines the rise of Andrew Jackson and his Democratic party, but contends that John Quincy Adams and other Whigs--advocates of public education and economic integration, defenders of the rights of Indians, women, and African-Americans--were the true prophets of America's future. He reveals the power of religion to shape many aspects of American life during this period, including slavery and antislavery, women's rights and other reform movements, politics, education, and literature. Howe's story of American expansion culminates in the bitterly controversial but brilliantly executed war waged against Mexico to gain California and Texas for the United States.
