But it exists because, so few scholars have a strong understanding of the long process of democratization in the West. It gives readers a great background in the history of democratization in Europe. Sheri Berman recently published a work called Democracy and Dictatorship in Europe. Huntington bridges the divide between the behaviorists and the traditionalists before him, so he simply has a background in European political development which is rare among political scientists today. ![]() It is so thorough and so well researched. Political Order in Changing Societies is an absolute masterpiece. Fukuyama’s two volume work is largely based upon Huntington’s Political Order in Changing Societies. ![]() 6/10/2023 0 Comments The path to power caro![]() ![]() We see in him, from earliest childhood, a fierce, unquenchable necessity to be first, to win, to dominate-coupled with a limitless capacity for hard, unceasing labor in the service of his own ambition. Chronicling the startling early emergence of Johnson’s political genius, it follows him from his Texas boyhood through the years of the Depression in the Texas hill Country to the triumph of his congressional debut in New Deal Washington, to his heartbreaking defeat in his first race for the Senate, and his attainment, nonetheless, of the national power for which he hungered. ![]() The Path to Power, Book One, reveals in extraordinary detail the genesis of the almost superhuman drive, energy, and urge to power that set LBJ apart. No president-no era of American politics-has been so intensively and sharply examined at a time when so many prime witnesses to hitherto untold or misinterpreted facets of a life, a career, and a period of history could still be persuaded to speak. ![]() The Years of Lyndon Johnson is the political biography of our time. ![]() ![]() ![]() The United States of America buys it for a sum that leaves every Japanese citizen under the age of 60 set for life, but the King of Death creates a new rule of the Death Note that thwarts Minoru and the U.S. With the Shinigami's help, and his own ingenuity, he auctions it off anonymously as his actions are followed and predicted by Near. ![]() ![]() Now a high school student, Minoru accepts the notebook from Ryuk, but he has no plans to use it himself. He is surprised when Minoru Tanaka returns the notebook and asks him to return in two years' time. When the Shinigami Ryuk returns to Earth more than ten years after his last visit, he gives the Death Note to the top-scoring student in Japan, hoping that he will follow in Light Yagami's footsteps. Is what was brought about by the Shinigami that came down to Earth what it seemed? ![]() 6/9/2023 0 Comments Tessa in Love by Kate le Vann![]() Chapters alternate, though sometimes one voice will take over for a few chapters, between Beth and Carmel from the very start. ![]() Firstly there is the way that it is told. The Girl in the Red Coat is, quite literally in two ways, a book of two halves. This is the power of Hamer’s writing and yet it is a mere foreshadowing of what she puts you through when Carmel is abducted by a man mere months later at a storytelling festival, the aftermath of which becomes the crux of the novel. The sense of foreboding, unease, tension and fear that Hamer builds up in Beth as she searches madly for her daughter is palpable, I was utterly tense (far more than I was about being on the plane whilst reading it) for what felt like forever though was actually only a few pages. Hamer plays on this instinct early on in The Girl With The Red Coat when, and I hope this isn’t giving too much away, Beth takes her daughter, Carmel, on a day out and loses her in a maze. He was right, there’d been nothing.įor anyone who has had children, or has looked after them, the biggest fear when you take them anywhere for a day out is that you will lose them. The wind seemed to have scattered them and time snipped them off. ![]() Or Hansel and Gretel’s trail of breadcrumbs. Leads – those invisible wires that could take us to her. ‘There’s been nothing for weeks,’ said Paul eventually.

Set in Eerie on Sea, where mythical beasts to walk the misty shores, Thomas Taylor introduces us to a wonderful pair of detectives - Herbie and Violet - with a riddle to solve. Fiona Noble * The Bookseller, Children's Book of the Month * I was steeped in the briny world of the Malamander from the very first page. this really is one that deserves all the buzz. Taylor is best known as an illustrator - he famously created the original jacket for Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone - but Malamander confirms him as a ferociously talented writer. ![]() a wonderfully imaginative and atmospheric adventure, rich in myth and legend and with a delicious gothic edge. Short-listed for Bolton Children's Fiction Award 2019 (UK) ![]() Short-listed for Blue Peter Book Awards 2019 (UK) Short-listed for Alexandra Palace Children's Book Award 2020 (UK) Winner of The Awesome Book Award 2021 (UK) ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Heloise, so far, spends half her letters worshiping him and the other half begging him to say a nice word to her, a private, caring word. Admittedly I have only read his narration of his “troubles”, which tells of their meeting, their romance, their secret marriage, his sudden castration by her male relatives, and their entrance both into separate, but nonetheless related, lives within the Church and the first three letters (there are 8 total). I know I should not be so surprised, but I am finding Abelard to be nothing more than a total self-centered jerk and I find myself getting cross at Heloise for taking it from him. ![]() Both Abelard and Heloise are good at expressing themselves (and the translation I am reading seems to be a good one - it has many interesting explanatory footnotes). ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Typically, the former employ one of two methods to reduce or eliminate polysemic uncertainty: either they legislate a privileged meaning and banish others to the margins (Oakeshott himself follows this model, explicitly stating that "I will begin, then, by indicating what I take it to denote" 2), or they seek a ground of authenticity in the word's putatively "original" meaning. "'Experience', of all the words in the philosophic vocabulary is the most difficult to manage " warns Michael Oakeshott, "and it must be the ambition of every writer reckless enough to use the word to escape the ambiguities it contains." 1 Such an ambition, however, may be more typical of philosophers anxious to still the play of language and come to firm conclusions about what it purports to represent than of intellectual historians interested in the ambiguities themselves. ![]() 6/8/2023 0 Comments Ravensong by T.J. Klune![]() Then you need to read it, like right after finishing reading this review. ![]() What an incredible book!
