"The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing." (Edmond Burke) Or for selfish people to obstruct those who are trying to do the right thing. This book probes the Islamic fanatics' end game - convert or die, they tell the West. The fanatics see our very success as a mortal threat to their own perverted version of the "pure" Islam world over which they thirst to rule. But the book also probes the feckless French and foolish liberals who are so wrapped up in their own agendas that they stand between forceful leadership and the real enemy at the gates. Bin Laden is perfectly willing to brainwash his followers into sacrificing their lives for the illusion of eternal paradise. Not that Bin Laden and his chief lieutenants are ready to die for their cause just yet. They want others to die so that they can live out their fantasies of a world converted in their image. How does he get away with it? By skillfully preying on the weaknesses of others, including the short-sighted who are blinded by their greed, cowardice or folly. This is where the feckless French and foolish liberals come in. As the book explains, tyrants like Saddam Hussein suit the fanatic Islamists' ambitions perfectly. All of this and more were staring the feckless French and foolish liberals in the face. But they turned a blind eye. At a crucial point in the history, they chose a course even worse then doing nothing. They obstructed decisive action against the growing cancer to serve their own agendas. In their own way and for their own selfish reasons, the French (along with other European elites) and the liberal establishment have trouble dealing with decisive assertions of U.S. power. They want to bring the United States down to a level that is indistinguishable from any other country. In a world of moral ambivalence that the feckless French and the foolish liberals are used to inhabiting, the United States government is no less to blame for what happened on September 11th than the terrorists and dictators who support them. This book connects the dots in the concerted strategy to fight the War on Terror that the liberals and French refuse to see and explains how George Bush's decision to remove Saddam Hussein after twelve years of inaction on the part of the United Nations was an essential part of that strategy

영어 단어를 통해 서양의 정치, 사회, 문화, 역사, 상식을 배운다 - 도시(City)에서 기업(company)까지 한국에서 영어는 ‘찍기용 영어’다. 오직 점수를 위해 영어를 공부한다. 영어 학원에서조차 “찍기도 기술이다. 문제를 안 보고 답안만 보고도 답을 맞힐 수 있다”고 스스럼없이 이야기할 정도다. 한국에서 영어 공부에 미친 사람들은 대부분 이런 식으로 공부한다. 즉, 좋은 시험 성적을 얻는 게 우선적인 목표인 것이다. 이런 영어 공부를 가리켜 ‘점수 영어’라고 할 수 있겠다. 한국에서 영어는 국가적 종교이긴 하되, 내부경쟁에서 이기기 위한 기복신앙인 셈이다. 그래서 ‘영어에 미친 나라’인 한국에서는 영어가 종교나 다름없다. 외국의 학생들이 배움에서 ‘깊이’를 추구할 때에 우리는 순전히 내부경쟁용 변별 수단으로서 ‘점수 영어’에만 올인한다. 우리는 누가 더 의자에 엉덩이를 오래 붙이고 앉아 있었는가 하는 인내력 테스트를 영어 능력 테스트로 간주하고 있는 것이다. 우리는 ‘영어 문법 파시즘’이라는 말을 들을 정도로 문법에 집착한다. 외국어는 인문학이며 인문학이어야 하는데도, 우리는 영어를 가급적 인문학과는 거리가 먼 방향으로 공부하고 있다. 공부를 어떤 방식으로 하느냐에 따라, 영어는 매우 재미있는 인문학일 수도 있다. 영어 단어 하나를 공부하더라도, 그 단어를 통해 서양의 정치, 경제, 사회, 문화, 역사, 상식 등 많은 것을 배울 수 있기 때문이다. 이런 영어 공부를 가리켜 ‘재미 영어’라고 할 수 있겠다. 이 책은 ‘재미 영어’를 위한 것이다. 저자는 이 책을 쓰는 과정에서 시종일관 사람과 사람 사는 세상에 관한 새로운 것을 알고 깨닫는 인문학적 재미를 누렸다고 한다.

A Preface to Politics (1913) was the first book of political commentary published by Walter Lippmann, one of the most widely read and influential journalists of the 20th century. Shortly after its publication, Lippmann cofounded The New Republic magazine, in which he regularly published the kind of astute political analysis that he debuted in A Preface to Politics. He later served in the administration of Woodrow Wilson and had a decisive influence on the formulation of Wilson's famous Fourteen Points. But his greatest influence came from the popular syndicated column called Today and Tomorrow, which he wrote for thirty years. At its height 250 newspapers across the nation carried Lippmann's column, and eventually it won two Pulitzer Prizes.A prevailing theme throughout the essays in A Preface to Politics is that successful politicians are those who know how to tap into public needs and give voice to the concerns of the common man. The inherent logic and intellectual respectability of any particular policy are less important, Lippmann says, than its ability to arouse the emotions and express the deep feelings of a constituency. He points to Theodore Roosevelt as the prime example in his day of a politician who understood how to rally the public behind a cause.He also comments extensively on socialism, which was a rising political force in the beginning of the 20th century. Though he felt some sympathy with the socialist cause in this early work, he also astutely points out its many weaknesses. Later in his career, Lippmann turned completely away from socialism.A book of both historical interest and of enduring insights into the political process, A Preface to Politics will enhance the bookshelves of journalists, political scientists, historians, and all who value good writing.

'Richly documented and convincingly presented' -- New Society Mods and Rockers, skinheads, video nasties, designer drugs, bogus asylum seeks and hoodies. Every era has its own moral panics. It was Stanley Cohen's classic account, first published in the early 1970s and regularly revised, that brought the term 'moral panic' into widespread discussion. It is an outstanding investigation of the way in which the media and often those in a position of political power define a condition, or group, as a threat to societal values and interests. Fanned by screaming media headlines, Cohen brilliantly demonstrates how this leads to such groups being marginalised and vilified in the popular imagination, inhibiting rational debate about solutions to the social problems such groups represent. Furthermore, he argues that moral panics go even further by identifying the very fault lines of power in society. Full of sharp insight and analysis, Folk Devils and Moral Panics is essential reading for anyone wanting to understand this powerful and enduring phenomenon. Professor Stanley Cohen is Emeritus Professor of Sociology at the London School of Economics. He received the Sellin-Glueck Award of the American Society of Criminology (1985) and is on the Board of the International Council on Human Rights. He is a member of the British Academy.

Winner of the 1964 Pulitzer Prize in Nonfiction Anti-Intellectualism in American Life is a book which throws light on many features of the American character. Its concern is not merely to portray the scorners of intellect in American life, but to say something about what the intellectual is, and can be, as a force in a democratic society. "As Mr. Hofstadter unfolds the fascinating story, it is no crude battle of eggheads and fatheads. It is a rich, complex, shifting picture of the life of the mind in a society dominated by the ideal of practical success." —Robert Peel in the Christian Science Monitor
