What Is America?: A Short History of the New World Order

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Wright, Ronald, PUBLISHER: Knopf Canada, From the award-winning, #1 bestselling author of A Short History of Progress comes another surprising, frightening and essential book. The USA is now the world's lone superpower, whose deeds could make or break this century. For <strong>betterstrong> and worse, <strong>Americastrong> has <strong>Americastrong>nized the world. How did a marginal frontier society, in a mere two centuries, become the de facto ruler of the world? Why do <strong>Americastrong>'s great achievements in democracy, prosperity and civil rights now seem threatened by forces within itself? Brimming with insight into history and human behaviour, and written in Wright's captivating style, What Is <strong>Americastrong>? shows how this came to pass; how the United States, which regards itself as the most modern country on earth, is also deeply archaic, a stronghold not only of religious fundamentalism but of "modern" beliefs in limitless progress and a universal mission that have fallen under suspicion elsewhere in the west, a rethinking driven by two World Wars and the reckless looting of our planet. A fresh, passionate look at the past and future of the world's most powerful nation, What Is <strong>Americastrong>? will reframe the debate about our neighbour and ourselves.

By Popular Demand

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Gastil, John, PUBLISHER: University of California Press, John Gastil challenges conventional assumptions about public opinion, elections, and political expression in this persuasive treatise on how to revitalize the system of representative democracy in the United States. Gastil argues that <strong>Americastrong>n citizens have difficulty developing clear policy interests, seldom reject unrepresentative public officials, and lack a strong public voice. Our <strong>growingstrong> awareness of a flawed electoral system is causing increased public cynicism and apathy. The most popular reforms, however, will neither restore public trust nor improve representation. Term limits and campaign finance reforms will increase turnover, but they provide no mechanism for improved deliberation and accountability. Building on the success of citizen juries and deliberative polling, Gastil proposes improving our current process by convening randomly selected panels of citizens to deliberate for several days on ballot measures and candidates. Voters would learn about the judgments of these citizen panels through voting guides and possibly information printed on official ballots. The result would be a more representative government and a less cynical public. <strong>Americastrong> has a long history of experimentation with electoral systems, and the proposals in "By Popular Demand" merit serious consideration and debate.

Sunburnt Cities: The Great Recession, Depopulation and Urban

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Hollander, Justin B., PUBLISHER: Routledge, In recent years there has been a <strong>growingstrong> focus on urban and environmental studies and the skills and techniques needed to address the wider challenges of how to create sustainable communities. Until the first decade of the twenty-first century, decline was assumed to be an issue only for former industrial cities a " the so-called Rust Belt.
