Book Description
Politicians invoke grand ideas: social justice, liberty, equality,community. But what do these ideas really mean? How can politicians across the political spectrum appeal to the same values?
Political Philosophy: A Beginners' Guide for Students and Politicians answers these important questions. Accessible and lively, the book is an ideal student text, but it also brings the insights of the world's leading political philosophers to a wide general audience. Using plenty of examples, it equips readers to think for themselves about the ideas that shape political life.
Democracy works best when both politicians and voters move beyond rhetoric to think clearly and carefully about the political principles that should govern their society. But clear thinking is difficult in an age when established orthodoxies have fallen by the wayside. Bringing political philosophy out of the ivory tower and within the reach of all, this book provides us with tools to cut through the complexities of modern politics. In so doing, it makes a valuable contribution to the democratic process.

Excellent Intro, a little simplified.......2005-09-12
The book is an excelent introduction into some of the central themes of political philosophy and is enjoyable to read, which is always a bonus for this kind of book. On the other hand Swift fails to detail the positions of many major theorists, including Rousseau and Hobbes, in fact most thinkers are only occasionally utilised when needed to furnish a point. That said the book is intended as an introductio to the issues themselves, so perhaps this is understandable. The only other minor quibble is that the book takes an extremely simplified view of most issues and lacks depth, anyone who has spent time considering political issues of their own volition may well have though of many or most of the concepts introduced within, nonetheless Swift does a good job in formalising these into concrete terms.

For anyone seeking to prepare themselves to cast a well-informed vote in elections........2007-04-10
Now in a revised and expanded second edition featuring a new chapter specifically about democracy, Political Philosophy: A Beginners' Guide for Students and Politicians by Adam Swift (Fellow in Politics and Sociology, Balliol College) is a highly accessible text for students, lay readers, and novice political philosophers concerning basic political principles that are used to govern society. Chapters describe and discuss philosophical constructs such as social justice, liberty, equality, community, and democracy, and especially dissect common misperceptions and assumptions concerning the denotative meaning of certain principles and labels. Laden with examples designed to prompt the reader to think long and hard concerning what political concepts such as "social justice" truly mean, Political Philosophy is enthusiastically recommended not just for students, but for anyone seeking to prepare themselves to cast a well-informed vote in elections.
Customer Reviews:
Fine, if somewhat short...........2002-12-31
This book is a very short summary of political philosophy. Perhaps it is wrong in assuming that a student would not be able to read about this subject in greater detail. After reading this, though, one will want to know more about political philosophy, why one can be both politically active and philosophical, and why politics is important to students, and not just leftist politics. Also, one wonders which political philosophy the author has, as he seems to comment wryly on both conservatism and liberalism with great acuity. A fine read, if somewhat incomplete.
Short, but not the best overview.......2002-10-29
I bought this guide expecting that it would give a brief high-level overview of the main thinkers and ideas in political philosophy. It didn't do that -- it was more of a political philosopher "sampler", rather than an overview which outlines the high points in the intellectual history of the field. The first 10 pages of the ~50 page essay made some good distinctions & definitions, and emphasized that one should read the "great books" of political philosophy (though it doesn't give a list of those books until the appendix). The rest of the essay wasn't as informative, and just touches on some of the ideas of a couple major philosophers (e.g. Machiavelli, Plato, etc.), and tended to be slightly more interpretive than I like to see in an introduction (intro's should be more objective, because a beginner has a hard time distinguishing opinion from fact). Overall, this book only gave me a "feel" for what political philosophy is, without giving a sense of the entire scope of the field, the connections and/or debate between the various schools of thought, or the relative importance of the various thinkers. Granted, it's hard to give a comprehensive overview in 50 pages, but I think the essay could have been structured better. On the plus side, it is a very short essay -- 50 pages, double spaced.
The very best guide to the subject.......2002-10-01
Harvard University Professor Harvey C. Mansfield, Jr., is well known within the discipline of political theory as one of the great figures of our time. Profoundly influenced by Leo Strauss, he also brings to his work a concern for the institutions of constitutional democracy which was a staple at Harvard during the era of Carl Friedrich. He has made original contributions to the study of Machiavelli and recently completed a translation of, and commentary on, Tocqueville's Democracy in America.
Mansfield's lectures on ancient, medieval, and modern political philosophy are famously dense and provocative, forcing students to confront the deepest problems posed by some of the greatest minds in Western history. In this remarkable guide, Mansfield conveys with subtle precision the contours, the twists and turns, that political philosophy has taken over the centuries, from Plato to Nietzsche.
For any student of political philosophy, this is the place to begin. This slim book can be read at a single sitting, but what Mansfield has to say may keep you thinking for the rest of your life.
Book Description
Who are the most influential thinkers, and which are the most important concepts, events, and documents in the study of the American political tradition? How ought we regard the beliefs and motivations of the founders, the debate over the ratification of the Constitution, the historical circumstances of the Declaration of Independence, the rise of the modern presidency, and the advent of judicial supremacy? These are a few of the fascinating questions canvassed by George W. Carey in A Student's Guide to American Political Thought. Carey's primer instructs students on the fundamental matters of American political theory while telling them where to turn to obtain a better grasp on the ideas that have shaped the American political heritage.
Customer Reviews:
Great little read for college students.......2007-06-26
This book explores the thoughts of the Founding Fathers as they worked to establish our political system. One of the unique facets of the founding of this nation is the rich historical perspective of those who examined human and cultural history and then made various determinations and choices in the founding of this civilization - why were certain forms of government included and others excluded, what was the intent and understanding of law, government and the nature of man in making these determinations? Carey, a government professor at Georgetown, examines the writings of the founders and explores their thoughts, motives and desires.
Carey concludes several very fascinating things about our founders and their desired intent for this nation. First, many of the founders had a great distain for the concentration of power, considering the concentration itself to be tyranny, not waiting to see if the power were abused or not. Second, there is overwhelming evidence to support the concept that many of the founders believed that religion and virtue were absolute essentials in the fabric of this new society - to preserve and protect good government and to promote an orderly and decent society. Carey examines the influence of the Christian church on the foundation of this nation.
In examining the writings of the founders, Carey determines that James Madison's Federalist #10 lays out the fundamental argument for a constitutional government and is essential for any student of American political thought to read and understand. The battle over states rights versus a centralized national government as well as the protection of minority rights from the majority are put forth in Federalist #10. From that foundation, further discussions of the founders addressed their thoughts about the separation of powers and the role of each branch - one interesting note was their concept and distain for judicial activism, a problem we are obviously facing in today's culture!
the author's bias is evident throughout this work.......2006-07-23
I found that the author used many pejorative terms whenever he referenced liberal or progressive interpretations of the Constitution. He spent a good deal of his book trying to debunk the work of most constitutional scholars of the 20th century, instead relying on 19th century sources. In particular, he argues for a very narrow interpretation of the first amendment and ascribes religious motives to many of the founders which I think most historians would find unsubstantiated. It is particularly galling that the group which funded the work and has been most responsible for disseminating it is not clearly identified in either a forward or postscript, since such attribution would alert most readers to the fact that the book is geared to support a particular point of view, instead of being an objective survey of American political thought.
On the positive side, the author writes well, and his exposition of his own belief about the Constitution is clear.
Outstanding.......2005-06-18
Carey may be peerless in the ample insight he supplies concerning our Founder's intent. This short historical survey of American political thought processes and their conclusions provides a first-rate foundation for the neophyte, or the advanced pigeonholed in some specific corner of law or politics - quite suitable for the harried American. Though Carey holds a position (and after all what is education if not a search for the right answers?) he is remarkably adept at presenting other sides without torpedoing their thesis. But he doesn't need to, as that is done by carefully reading The Federalist. However, were it not for books like this, revision - conservative or liberal - would have a free hand, putting words in the Founder's mouth or obfuscating what can be complex Founding issues, not so much through the inertia of these concepts but by their subtleties. Unlike science where erroneous understandings are usually emphatically rejected by nature or refined analysis, this is what makes the Founding intent a minefield, more open to alteration. Unfortunately, English has not the precision of mathematics, but Carey points us to clarification from the Founders and they're reasonably clear, most often crystal.
Right from the beginning Carey sets the table: "On what principles is the government based? How is authority allocated within it? What is its primary purpose? Are there limitations to its powers? How can it be altered? On what assumptions about human nature is it based?" Past civilizations were "ordained by the gods" or "given by a mythical lawgiver", but America's Founding was a reasoned struggle, not only at the Convention but over decades of debate and State testing, resulting in the "will of the people", not a god. The Federalist as defense of the proposed Constitution addressed these matters. It is, though, a "nuts and bolts" approach, writes Carey, not an extensive theoretical or philosophical treatise - practical vs. idealistic. And this is where much political thought separates from The Federalist, attempting to redraft its meaning to satisfy "the way things ought to be" regardless of what works, Right or Left - though both miss the truth according to Carey through their selective spin, serving agendas. An example follows fifty years after our most lethal war with resulting elevation of that Lincoln era, retroactively recasting the Constitution in light of our Declaration through Lincoln's moving speeches ("...a new nation conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal"). Jefferson did say there that we "hold these truths to be self evident", that all "are created equal" with "certain unalienable Rights". So, rights and equality became paramount. For such interpretations, writes Carey "...democracy is primarily government 'for the people' not necessarily 'by the people'", bearing "a close relationship to those [ideals] that inspired the French Revolution". The Constitution is then judged by how well it lives up to that Declaration. But Carey argues it does live up to central themes expressed there and is a continuation of the same political thought - once again by reference to The Federalist - just not the way revisionists want it to be.
Reading the Constitution cold is likely to leave one under-whelmed, but Carey transforms it. Like lifeless equations as abstract markings on paper, grasping their meaning and implications converts them to revelation, lifting them from the page to fly. Carey does this for the Founding, through him our Founders nearly live again. But based on our mutilation of their intent they'd probably rather be dead.

Book Description
Recent history has seen profound change in the world 's political landscape. With these changes, many formerly secure understandings of political terms have become lost, and the meanings of the words we use to describe our politics have become muddied. Frequently confusing, and often intentionally misleading, this language can be easily distorted in order to spin disputed ideas or justify questionable actions. At the same time, fresh insights about modern politics have been developed that remain little known or discussed outside academic circles. This account of political keywords addresses these circumstances with a view to rectifying them - for the benefit of students, political activists, and a public desperately in need of clarity.The entries in Political Keywords work together to create a timely dictionary of contemporary political vernacular from 'alienation' to 'Zionism.' Extensive cross-referencing, suggested further readings, and a comprehensive glossary make Political Keywords the ideal guide to navigating a landscape of dangerously vague terms.

A vibrant avian celebration.......2002-06-06
Extraordinary Pheasants by professional photographer Stephen Green-Armytage is a splendid photographic study of pheasants from peacocks to game hens, as well as an incredible variety of other species. The superbly presented, closely detailed, impressive, full-color images of these majestic birds are the highlight of the book. All enhanced with an informative introduction, short, "reader friendly", descriptive comments concerning each pheasant species helping to round out this vibrant avian celebration. Extraordinary Pheasants is very highly recommended for bird fanciers and a welcome addition to personal, school, and community library "Pets & Wildlife" reference collections.
Book Description
Here is a full-color coffee-table tribute to these special birds and those who hunt them--published in cooperation with Pheasants Forever.
This glorious full-color tribute to the pheasant and its place in the sporting life of millions of upland bird hunters is already a classic. Its stunning photographs, from many of the finest outdoor photographers in the country, are supported with quotations from such eminent writers on pheasants as Dan Holland, John Madson, Dale Spartas, Steve Grooms, and many others.
Russ Sewell and Dave Nomsen reflect on the pheasant's natural history and ties to agriculture and rural life, while a special essay by Steve Grooms takes a witty and eloquent look at the ringneck's supreme talent for outsmarting dog and hunter alike.
The spectacular photographs explode with the color and excitement of hunting ringnecks, taking you from the cornbelt to the Great Plains and beyond. Any pheasant hunter who has walked an autumn field and felt his pulse race a bit faster will love Ringneck.

Ringnecks.......2003-10-07
Two of my co-workers purchased the book for me for my birthday. They understand my passion and obession that I have for pheasant hunting with my Chocolate Lab, Bailey. Especially in the off season! If I can't hunt the birds, then I need to be reading about them. This book is beautifully illustrated and well written. It discusses and describes the true passion for hunting pheasnts. Its an easy read and the pictures are awesome. All in all and excellent read and even better as a gift. Thanks Toz and Mojo!!!

A wonderfull book on pheasants and pheasant habitat.......2000-11-04
Every pheasant population has limits to its growth placed by its niche in a larger ecology. Only one large brained vertebrate seems unconstrained by the general rule. For those of us who want to know more about limits to the growth of pheasant populations, and about the life of pheasants at all seasons, Dr. Peter Robertson's "Pheasants" is a must buy. This is a brilliant book and is highly recommened
Bird and wildlife lovers who are not specifically interested in pheasants should read this book, not only because, as Robertson explains, good pheasant habitat is good wildlife habitat for the whole range of small creatures of the woods and fields. This book can lead to a deeper understanding of wildlife habitat in general, and of how a habitat supports and limits the populations of wildlife species.
This book is an absolute must for all pheasant habitat managers and their superiors in the state agencies. An understanding of the book's central themes could increase the reader's ability to identify the elements of good habitat, even when the vegetation is different from that described by Robertson. A careful student of the book and of local habitat might gain the skill of identifying particular habitat deficiencies which limit a local pheasant population.
Following the pheasant through a year in its life cycle, Robertson discusses critical habitat requirements in elegant and convincing detail. The life and needs of the pheasant in Winter are revealed. Robertson tells us what spring territories are all about, what kind of habitat is required for a good territory, and where and how far the hens go to nest. And Robertson explains the habitat needs of chicks, that they must have an adequate diet of insects in the first weeks of their lives, and how that is a critical vulnerability.
This book is absolutely up to date, breaking new ground in our understanding of pheasants. It is based on the latest research, much of it performed by Dr. Robertson and his colleagues. Dr. Peter Robertson, BSc, PhD, perhaps the world's foremost authority on pheasants, has performed much of his research as the Senior Scientist to The Game Conservancy's Pheasants and Woodlands Research Project, in Britain.
Book Description
Drawing on first-hand accounts told by immigrants in northeastern South Dakota and archival material, Clayton Davis has collected in one volume a profile of regional life in the 20th century. This study is interdisciplinary in focus, with strong attachment to anecdotal history, culture, geography, and folkways. Clayton Davis provides us fresh insight into life on the prairie where hardworking people planted crops and raised families.
Customer Reviews:
South Dakota - From the ground up........2002-02-01
This is a dandy capsule history of South Dakota development. Using basic family stories, author Davis sketches the development of one small segment of South Dakota from immigrant soddy to motorcar racing to modern class reunions. Along the way he provides a snapshot of comic hardships and truimphs of hardworking Swedes who settled this treeless country of hard winters and hot summers. From blind mules to racecars to chicken stealing skunks, family stories provide insight to daily life on the prairie and progress to the present. Much of the book centers around Redfield, a small rural town and home of the author's wife, and one section provides details of Swedish meatball delights and Lutefisk. Lutefisk being a dish only appreciated by dyed in the wool Swedes.
Author Davis concludes the book with a cook's tour of South Dakota, providing useful information and tips for touring the countryside.
A delightful book highly recommended for history buffs.
Pleasing Tales.......2002-01-07
"Where Peasants Sing: Life in South Dakota 1900-2000" is a charming, unpretentious little book of "happy stories about life in South Dakota." Most yarns are from the days when people "plowed fields and planted seeds on the untamed prarie."
Tales cover an impressive variety of topics. They range from the famed "Corn Palace" in Mitchell---a building so large that it houses sports events, yet is covered each year with "600,000 ears of corn of all kinds"---to a "complicated recipe for Swedish meathballs."
Author Clayton Davis writes in a casual style, tells readers pleasing tales as they apparently come to his mind. For example, in writing about the giant grain elevator in his wife's hometown, Redfield, he also informs readers a bit about concrete construction of some 2000 years ago. Then he briefs us about "the first concrete reinforced bridge built in America." And he also mentions inventor Thomas Edison making "houses with poured concrete (that sold) for less than $1,200 and are still standing."
This book has many photos, mostly family snapshots. There are pictures of the author's wedding to Irene Brink in 1952; her grandmothers---"One was from Sweden and the other from Czechoslovakia;" a friend's sleek racing car; uncle Charley's old cow; and more.
Closing the book is a laid-back description of the author's "trip (to) see South Dakota the way an early mapmaker saw it." Davis reports briefly on such places as a hunting lodge where you can stay in "private rooms (or) an eighteen-bed dorm;" Britton, the town named for a general manager of an area railroad; Fort Sisseton, which offers "A five hour guided walking tour;" and other such attractions.
If you are interested in mostly early-Americana, based largely on "first-hand accounts told by immigrants in northeasten South Dakota and archival materials," written in informal prose and structure, this may be just the book for you.
