Gold, Guns and Greed in the American West

Cambridge Studies in Early Modern British History

Law, Society, and State Formation

The Settlement of the Poor in England, c.1660–1780

An exploration of the relationship between early modern travel literature and English nationalism, this book's primary goal is to assess the response of early modern readers to the nationalist sentiments in Richard Hakluyt's Principal Navigations. Matthew Day contends that Hakluyt's collection shaped nationalist thinking, ideas, and notions of identity; and that it influenced nationalist policies and actions in a number of key areas, including politics, navigation, exploration and trade.

An exploration of the relationship between early modern travel literature and English nationalism, this book's primary goal is to assess the response of early modern readers to the nationalist sentiments in Richard Hakluyt's Principal Navigations.  Matthew Day contends that Hakluyt's collection shaped nationalist thinking, ideas, and notions of identity; and that it influenced nationalist policies and actions in a number of key areas, including politics, navigation, exploration and trade.    This study discloses the fundamental importance of early modern travel literature to nationalist discourses and their complex relationship with imperialism.  It is based on both printed and manuscript sources, and looks at literature ranging from the drama and poetry to government papers, personal letters, commonplace books, and minutes of trading companies.  As a reception history, it appeals not only to literary and cultural historians, but also to scholars of book history.

Scholar in a Century of Change

Yusuf al-Qaradawi

This timely and engaging account of how the president relates to political parties helps us understand how contemporary presidents have polarized the electorate, helped drive a wedge between Republicans and Democrats in Congress, put a strong partisan imprint upon the executive branch, and seek to get their message out through partisan media outlets. Partisan presidents in the new era are far less interested in neutral competence and instead use the national party committees as tools of governance.

Since the 1980s the American chief executive has shifted from a paradigm of the "modern presidency" to the "partisan presidency," argues Richard Skinner. This timely and engaging account of how the president relates to political parties helps us understand how contemporary presidents have polarized the electorate, helped drive a wedge between Republicans and Democrats in Congress, put a strong partisan imprint upon the executive branch, and seek to get their message out through partisan media outlets. Partisan presidents in the new era are far less interested in neutral competence and instead use the national party committees as tools of governance. The book balances the development of the partisan presidency through recent history, with a thorough understanding of how Barack Obama fits into this polarized environment. Despite Obama’s rhetoric of bridging the partisan divide, his governing style has shown more continuity with than change from previous partisan presidents. Political parties—far from being on the decline, as political scientists used to argue—are undergoing a strong revitalization in American politics. This creates some positive effects on the American political system, but is also associated with a number of dysfunctional features. Ultimately the U.S. separation of powers structure prevents an unbridled partisan presidency, but current trends suggest that strong partisan polarization is at some level a constant in American history and the mid-twentieth century was the anomaly. The Partisan Presidency is essential reading for students of American politics.

Penguin Monarchs

Part of the "Penguin Monarchs" series, these are short, fresh and informative accounts of England's rulers.

Part of the Penguin Monarchs series: short, fresh, expert accounts of England's rulers in a collectible format Henry VII was one of England's unlikeliest monarchs. An exile and outsider with barely a claim to the throne, his victory over Richard III at Bosworth Field seemed to many in 1485 only the latest in the sequence of violent convulsions among England's nobility that would come to be known as the Wars of the Roses - with little to suggest that the obscure Henry would last any longer than his predecessor. To break the cycle of division, usurpation, deposition and murder, he had both to maintain a grip on power and to convince England that his rule was both rightful and effective. Here, Sean Cunningham explores how, in his ruthless and controlling kingship, Henry VII did so, in the process founding the Tudor dynasty.

Global Icons

Arguably, there is no more important historical figure in contemporary India, after Mahatma Gandhi, than Dr Ambedkar. All political parties seek to lay claim to his legacy. Yet he is not as well known to general readers globally as he deserves to be. To be born into an 'untouchable' family in 1891 would normally have guaranteed a life of neglect, poverty and discrimination. Not only did Ambedkar rise above the circumstances of his birth, but he achieved a level of success that would have been spectacular even for a child of privilege. An heir to millennia of discrimination, he became the first law minister of a free India, in the most impressive cabinet ever assembled in New Delhi. Ultimately he achieved a set of set of distinctions few have matched: he successfully challenged millennia-old discrimination against Dalits ('untouchables'); instituted the world's oldest and farthest-reaching affirmative action programme for them and entrenched it in the constitution; promoted liberal constitutionalism in a traditionally illiberal society; and articulated the most cogent and enduring case for the principles and practices of democracy in a country emerging from imperial rule. Shashi Tharoor's biography stresses Ambedkar's role as a constitutionalist and a builder of democracy as well as a social iconoclast. This book will be a starting point to encourage readers, writers and scholars to engage with Ambedkar's ideas and fight for the principles he stood for.

A short, digestible biography of this important Indian statesman, whose compassion and devotion to public standards should serve as a model for the politicians of our day. -- .
