The highland region of the republic of Georgia, one of the former Soviet Socialist Republics, has long been legendary for its beauty. It is often assumed that the state has only made partial inroads into this region, and is mostly perceived as alien. Taking a fresh look at the Georgian highlands allows the author to consider perennial questions of citizenship, belonging, and mobility in a context that has otherwise been known only for its folkloric dimensions. Scrutinizing forms of identification with the state at its margins, as well as local encounters with the erratic Soviet and post-Soviet state, the author argues that citizenship is both a sought-after means of entitlement and a way of guarding against the state. This book not only challenges theories in the study of citizenship but also the axioms of integration in Western social sciences in general.

For a half-century or more, political theory has been characterized by a pronounced distrust of metaphysical or ontological speculation. Such a disposition has been sharply at odds with influential currents in post-war philosophy - both analytic and continental - where metaphysical issues have become a central preoccupation. The Idea of the State seeks to reaffirm the importance of systematic philosophical inquiry into the foundations of political life, and to show how such an approach can cast a new and highly instructive light on a variety of controversial, seemingly intractable problems of tolerance, civil disobedience, democracy and consent. The author considers the problem of the state in light of recent developments in philosophy and social thought, and seeks to provide an account of what the state really is. In doing so he pursues a range of fundamental issues pertaining to the office, the authority and the internal organization of political society.

On the night of the 2000 presidential election, Americans watched on television as polling results divided the nation's map into red and blue states. Since then the color divide has become symbolic of a culture war that thrives on stereotypes--pickup-driving red-state Republicans who vote based on God, guns, and gays; and elitist blue-state Democrats woefully out of touch with heartland values. With wit and prodigious number crunching, Andrew Gelman debunks these and other political myths. This expanded edition includes new data and easy-to-read graphics explaining the 2008 election. Red State, Blue State, Rich State, Poor State is a must-read for anyone seeking to make sense of today's fractured political landscape.

“One of the most profound and illuminating studies of this century to have been published in recent decades.”—John Gray, New York Times Book Review Hailed as “a magisterial critique of top-down social planning” by the New York Times, this essential work analyzes disasters from Russia to Tanzania to uncover why states so often fail—sometimes catastrophically—in grand efforts to engineer their society or their environment, and uncovers the conditions common to all such planning disasters. “Beautifully written, this book calls into sharp relief the nature of the world we now inhabit.”—New Yorker “A tour de force.”— Charles Tilly, Columbia University

The Civil War remains America's central epic. This deadly conflict embroiled the whole nation. There were major and minor battles on land and sea. The losses were staggering: More Americans died in the Civil War than in any other conflict America has participated in. The South was devastated, and the economic and social impacts were felt well into the twentieth century. Industrial expansion in the North, however, was strongly promoted by the conflict. The social effects were far reaching, affecting areas from government and politics to technology, journalism, and domestic life. The Civil War State by State is a comprehensive, highly illustrated review of the involvement of each state at the time of the Civil War. A series of chapters -- each dedicated to an individual state -- explores how each state was affected by the war and the extent of its involvement in the conflict. The comprehensive text is accompanied by a series of historic maps and images from the war, color photographs of present-day battlefields and memorials, and rare photographs. The Civil War State by State is an indispensable guide to how each state experienced this pivotal chapter of the nation's history. Book jacket.

Discover the treasures of America with this unique coloring book featuring beautifully illustrated maps and key facts of each of the fifty states, printed on perforated scalloped pages reminiscent of vintage diner placemats. Take a trip across the United States, from Maine to Hawaii, Alaska to Florida, and every state in-between without leaving your home! Inspired by original road-stop cafe paper placemats from the 1950s and ’60s, each page of America State by State is devoted to one of the fifty states. Every illustrated map features quirky drawings noting the state’s key destinations—including places and monuments—popular drinks, foods, and sports, as well as the state bird and flower. Imitating the style, size, and design of those classic placemats of every Baby Boomer’s childhood, each page of America State by State is scallop-edged (even on the perforated edge) making them easy to remove, color, and frame—or use as placemats at home.
