Hopelessly Divided

The New Crisis in American Politics and What it Means for 2012 and Beyond

By: Douglas E. Schoen

Just in time for the 2012 election, Douglas E. Schoen, one of America’s preeminent political pundits, analyzes the growing chasm between the political class—politicians, lobbyists, fundraisers, consultants—and the American Mainstream, frustrated with government’s inability to address the major issues affecting their lives. This gap has given rise to populist movements on the right and the left and driven our two-party system to the brink of possible collapse—in ways that have never been fully discussed or articulated.

The Adventures of the Green Cloth

By: Douglas Cubbison

It’s 1914, and you’ve stepped through the doors of Denver’s most prestigious gentleman’s establishment – Lamb’s White Star Saloon. This evening, Professor Lamb, now an old, distinguished businessman, is in fine form. Light a cigar, fill a tumbler with the finest bourbon, and take your seat. Tonight you’ll learn about how an honest man of the green cloth toured the boomtowns of the Old West. Lamb saw them all as he worked the frontier gambling circuit from San Francisco in 1849 until the West closed, and he visited all of them – Smokey Row in Nashville, Pithole, Deadwood, Tombstone, Wichita. Let professor Lamb introduce you to Ben Hogan, the Wickedest Man in the World – then George Armstrong Custer, James and Wyatt Earp, Rowdy Joe Lowe, Wild Bill Hickock, and their friends and foes as they indulge in innumerable games of skill and fortune at the White Star Saloon!It’s 1914, and you’ve stepped through the doors of Denver’s most prestigious gentleman’s establishment – Lamb’s White Star Saloon.

Real Choices / New Voices

How Proportional Representation Elections Could Revitalize American Democracy

By: Douglas J. Amy

There is a growing realization that many of the problems afflicting American elections can be traced to the electoral system itself, in particular to our winner-take-all approach to electing officials. Douglas Amy demonstrates that switching to proportional representation elections—the voting system used in most other Western democracies, by which officials are elected in large, multimember districts according to the proportion of the vote won by their parties—would enliven democratic political debate, increase voter choice and voter turnout, ensure fair representation for third parties and minorities, eliminate wasted votes and "spoliers," and ultimately produce policies that better reflect the public will. Looking beyond new voting machines and other quick fixes for our electoral predicament, this new edition of Real Choices/New Voices offers a timely and imaginative way out of the frustrations of our current system of choosing leaders.

Themes and Images in the Medieval English Religious Lyric

By: Douglas Gray

Originally published in 1972, Themes and Images in the Medieval English Religious Lyric discusses themes and images in religious lyric poetry in Medieval English poetry. The book looks at the affect that tradition and convention had on the religious poetry of the medieval period. It examines the background of the lyrics, including the Latin tradition which was inherited by medieval vernacular and shows how religious lyric poetry presents, through a rich variety of images, the significant incidents in the scheme of Christ’s redemption, such as the Annunciation, the Nativity, the Passion and the Resurrection. It also considers the lyrics which were designed to assist humanity in the task of living in a Christian life, as well as those which prepared them for death.
