The Colorado State Constitution

By: Professor Richard Collins,Professor Dale Oesterle

The Colorado State Constitution provides an outstanding constitutional and historical account of the state's governing charter. It begins with an overview of Colorado's constitutional history, and then provides an in-depth, section-by-section analysis of the entire constitution, detailing important changes that have been made since its drafting. This treatment, which includes a list of cases, index, and bibliography, makes this guide indispensable for students, scholars, and practitioners of the Colorado constitution. The second edition includes an updated history of the constitution that focuses on events and amendments that have transformed the state in recent years including population growth, background and interpretations of Colorado's complex and unique tax revolt, known as TABOR, the state's extensive provisions for direct democracy, the initiative, veto referendum, and recall of elected officials. The Oxford Commentaries on the State Constitutions of the United States is an important series that reflects a renewed international interest in constitutional history and provides expert insight into each of the 50 state constitutions. Each volume in this innovative series contains a historical overview of the state's constitutional development, a section-by-section analysis of its current constitution, and a comprehensive guide to further research. Under the expert editorship of Professor Lawrence Friedman of New England Law School, Boson, this series provides essential reference tools for understanding state constitutional law. Books in the series can be purchased individually or as part of a complete set, giving readers unmatched access to these important political documents.

Popular Culture and Everyday Life

By: Professor Toby Miller,Toby Miller Alec McHoul,Dr Alec W McHoul,Trish Miller,Tricia Miller

Thisbroad-ranging survey of social and cultural theory issues an audacious challenge to contemporary cultural studies' emphasis on speculation, rather than observation. Toby Miller and Alec McHoul invite the reader to question their participation in both dominant and subcultural practices by providing perspectives on the everyday through ethnography, textual reading, discourse analysis and political economy. Following a summary of key ideas on an everyday practice, such as eating' or talking', each chapter considers the discourses that construct these practices, and concludes with one or more empirical investigations, opening up the possibility of a significant departure in cultural studies. The book ends with an excellent glossary of cultural studies terms.

First Among Friends : George Fox and the Creation of Quakerism

George Fox and the Creation of Quakerism

By: H. Larry Ingle Professor of History University of Tennessee-Chattanooga

In First Among Friends, the first scholarly biography of George Fox (1624-91), H. Larry Ingle examines the fascinating life of the reformation leader and founding organizer of the Religious Society of Friends, more popularly known today as the Quakers. Ingle places Fox within the upheavals of the English Civil Wars, Revolution, and Restoration, showing him and his band of "rude" disciples challenging the status quo, particularly during the Cromwellian Interregnum. Unlike leaders of similar groups, Fox responded to the conservatism of the Stuart restoration by facing down challenges from internal dissidents, and leading his followers to persevere until the 1689 Act of Toleration. It was this same sense of perseverance that helped the Quakers survive--the only religious sect of the era still existing today. Firmly grounded in primary sources and enriched with gripping detail, this well-written and original study reveals hitherto unknown sides of one who was clearly "First Among Friends.

War Paint

Art, War, State and Identity in Britain, 1939-1945

By: Brian Foss,Professor of Art History School for Studies in Art and Culture Brian Foss

In this groundbreaking examination of British war art during the Second World War, Brian Foss delves deeply into what art meant to Britain and its people at a time when the nation's very survival was under threat. Foss probes the impact of war art on the relations between art, state patronage, and public interest in art, and he considers how this period of duress affected the trajectory of British Modernism. Supported by some two hundred illustrations and extensive archival research, the book offers the richest, most nuanced view of mid-century art and artists in Britain yet written. The author focuses closely on Sir Kenneth Clark's influential War Artists' Advisory Committee and explores topics ranging from censorship to artists' finances, from the depiction of women as war workers to the contributions of war art to evolving notions of national identity and Britishness. Lively and insightful, the book adds new dimensions to the study of British art and cultural history.

The Ombudsman Enterprise and Administrative Justice

By: Dr Richard Kirkham,Mr Brian Thompson,Professor Trevor Buck

The statutory duty of public service ombudsmen (PSO) is to investigate claims of injustice caused by maladministration in the provision of public services. This book examines the modern role of the ombudsman within the overall emerging system of administrative justice and makes recommendations as to how PSO should optimize their potential within the wider administrative justice context. Recent developments are discussed and long standing questions that have yet to be adequately resolved in the ombudsman community are re-evaluated given broader changes in the administrative justice sector. The work balances theory and empirical research conducted in a number of common law countries. Although there has been much debate within the ombudsman community in recent years aimed at developing and improving the practice of ombudsmanry, this work represents a significant advance on current academic understanding of the discipline.

Government in America

By: Kenneth Janda,Jeffrey M. Berry,John Richard Skuse Professor of Political Science Jeffrey M Berry,Jerry Goldman,Kevin W. Hula

The Challenge of Democracy is well-known for its exploration of two themes: the conflicting values of freedom, order, and equality and the majoritarianism vs. pluralism debate. In addition, a focus on globalization and its implications helps students put American government in a broader context.

Through extensive research and focus groups conducted with a diverse cross-section of students, Houghton Mifflin presents a groundbreaking solution for skills mastery, understanding, and retention. Feedback from students has been instrumental in all aspects of development--from design and pedagogy to testing and assessment to title and packaging. These elements culminate in a textbook program that reflects the way students learn and study best. As with all texts in the Student Achievement Series, The Challenge of Democracy incorporates concise, to-the-point coverage; eliminates extraneous material; integrates pedagogy that reinforces key concepts; features a strong, supporting web component for review, testing, and assessment purposes; and provides students with real value for their educational dollar.

Food Talk

A Man's Guide to Cooking and Conversation with Women

By: H. Lloyd Goodall,Professor H L Goodall, Jr. PhD

Award-winning communication teacher / scholar and cook, Dr. H.L. (Bud) Goodall answers the question "What do women really want?" with lessons guaranteed to provide the most kitchen-shy guy with what he needs to know to satisfy the most ravenous feminine appetites for cooking and for conversation. In this book guys will learn how to: plan a romantic menu ; shop for food and wine ; improve listening and responding skills in ways that women appreciate ; organize and maintain a kitchen ; think creatively about food and its metaphorical meanings for intimate relationships ; develop interesting talking points for dinner dates ; use spice and seasonings ; manage nonverbal presentations of self while dining ; create easy-to-prepare and flavorful pasta, chicken, pork, beef, seafood, and vegetarian meals that are thematically linked to the mood they want to inspire ; enhance relational dialogues ; handle romantic conflicts ; coordinate meals with romantic occasions such as birthdays, anniversaries, and Valentine's Day ; interpret and more successfully respond to gender difference in relational talk ; improve intimate communication skills. So what do women really want? They want a man who knows how to cook well and who engages them in meaningful conversations. They want a "guy's guy" who knows his way around a kitchen and is also an everyday romantic. Which is to say, these days women want it all. Now we have a book that teaches men how to give all of it to them."--
