Austin, TX: Texas Monthly Press, c1986. First Printing. Hardcover. 24 cm,xi, [1], 263 pages, notes, index. Foreword by Dan Rather. Jesse Louis Jackson, Sr. (born Jesse Louis Burns; October 8, 1941) is an American civil rights activist, Baptist minister, and politician. He was a candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination in 1984 and 1988 and served as a shadow U.S. Senator for the District of Columbia from 1991 to 1997. He is the founder of the organizations that merged to form Rainbow/PUSH. In the primaries, Jackson, who had been written off by pundits as a fringe candidate with little chance at winning the nomination, surprised many when he took third place behind Senator Gary Hart and former Vice President Walter Mondale, who eventually won the nomination. Jackson garnered 3,282,431 primary votes, or 18.2 percent of the total, in 1984, and won five primaries and caucuses, including Louisiana, the District of Columbia, South Carolina, Virginia, and one of two separate contests in Mississippi. As he had gained 21% of the popular vote but only 8% of delegates, he afterwards complained that he had been handicapped by party rules. While Mondale (in the words of his aides) was determined to establish a precedent with his vice presidential candidate by picking a woman or visible minority, Jackson criticized the screening process as a "p.r. parade of personalities" More

New York: Taplinger Publishing Company, 1969. Presumed First Edition, First printing. Hardcover. 191, [1] pages. DJ is in a plastic sleeve and has some wear and soiling. Includes Introduction, Select Bibliography, and Index, as well as chapters on The Politics of Uncertainty; Spring has Sprung; Another Lost Generation; A New Kind of Ball Game; A War About Peace; The Background: Wasps Still Sting; A Message from Our Sponsors; Miami to Chicago; and How to Stop Worrying and Learn to Love Main Street. As a Journalist, Mr. Hastings has tried everything from parachuting to steeplejacking. He has traveled throughout Europe and has also spent a year in America as a Fellow of the World Press Institute. The Fire This Time was written by Max Hastings to tell his English countrymen about the many disturbing events he witnessed and the attitudes he observed during a year's residence in the United States. Only 22 at the time of its writing, Mr. Hastings' book may well prove of even greater value to American readers who will find it an objective mirror of their society and its problems as perceived by an alert, impartial reporter and spokesman for today's youth. It is an unusual and provocative study, notable for its lucidity and vigor, and the work of an extremely able and articulate journalist. More

Cover has some wear and soiling. The last paragraph is prescient, and states: "In Africa there is going on a contest between civilization and barbarism, Christianity and Mohammedanism, freedom and slavery, such as the world has never seen. Who can fail to be interested in the results of this conflict? We know that Africa is capable of the very highest civilization, for it was the birthplace of all civilization. To it we are indebted for the origin of all our arts and sciences, and it possesses to-day the most wonderful works of man. Let us hope that Africa, whose morning was so bright, and whose night has been so dart, will yet live to see the light of another and higher civilization." This is a very rare, early National Geographic Society related item. More

The book has minor water damage to the bottom of the pages. Ira I. Katznelson (born 1944) is an American political scientist and historian, noted for his research on the liberal state, inequality, social knowledge, and institutions, primarily focused on the United States. His work has been characterized as an "interrogation of political liberalism in the United States and Europe—asking for definition of its many forms, their origins, their strengths and weaknesses, and what kinds there can be". Katznelson has written or co-written ten books, co-edited several others, and published over sixty journal articles. He questions "when and why liberal democracies become normatively appealing (less closed and more tolerant) and more effective (less vulnerable and more secure)." He is interested in the connections and transitions between the political traditions of liberalism and republicanism in the United States. His work goes beyond the study of U.S. politics to include international relations, political theory, comparative politics, and comparative history. His book Liberalism’s Crooked Circle: Letters to Adam Michnik (1996) won American Political Science Association's Michael Harrington Prize. Desolation and Enlightenment (2003) won the David and Elaine Spitz Award of the Conference of Political Thought, given to the best book in liberal or democratic theory, and the David Easton Award of APSA's Foundations of Political Thought Section. In March 2014, Katznelson was awarded the Bancroft Prize for his book Fear Itself: The New Deal and the Origins of Our Time. More
