Education, Liberal Democracy and Populism: Arguments from Plato, Locke, Rousseau and Mill provides a lucid and critical guide shedding light on the continuing relevance of earlier thinkers to the debates between populists and liberals about the nature of education in democratic societies. The book discusses the relationship Rousseau and Plato posited between education and society, and contrasts their work with the development of liberal thinking about education from John Locke, and John Stuart Mill’s arguments for the importance of education to representative democracy. It explores some of the roots of populism and offer a broader perspective from which to assess the questions which populists pose and the answers which liberals offer. The book makes a substantial contribution to the current debate about democracy, by emphasising the central importance of education to political thought and practice, and suggests that only an education system based on liberal democratic principles can offer the possibility of a genuinely free society. This book is ideal reading for researchers and post-graduate students in education, politics, philosophy and history. It will also be of great interest to Educational practitioners and policy makers.

Native Americans have fought gallantly in every conflict since the War for Independence, mostly under the stars and stripes, but some under the stars and bars of the Confederacy. That said, the greatest contribution of Native Americans in wartime was their use as code talkers during World Wars I and II. This book chronicles the experiences of these men in both wars.

Fukuyama’s concept of the End of History has been one of the most widely debated theories of international politics since the end of the Cold War. This book discusses Fukuyama’s claim that liberal democracy alone is able to satisfy the human aspiration for freedom and dignity, and explores the way in which his thinking is part of a philosophical tradition which includes Kant, Hegel and Marx. Two new chapters in this second edition discuss the ways in which Fukuyama’s thinking has developed – they include his celebrated and controversial criticism of neoconservatism and his complex intellectual relationship to Samuel Huntington, whose Clash of Civilization thesis he rejects but whose notion of political decay is central to his more recent work. The authors here argue that Fukuyama’s continuing fundamental contributions to debates concerning the spread of democracy and threat of global terror mark him out as one of the most important thinkers of the twenty-first century.

The "Power of Light Vibrations," years ago I was crippled in an accident; doctors told me that I would never walk. This book is the result of the research that helped me to overcome the odds and walk again. It is a new way to improve your health and situation using the positive energy that surrounds us. Similar books like this are missing a critical part; understanding and using the energy obtained in "Light Vibrations" is the essential key in making it work. It includes several charts, and sections on the "Law of Attraction", "Positive Thinking", "Words of Power", "Six Secrets of Success", "Seven Steps of Reality," and the "Eight Steps to Healthy and Motivational Living," including several other psychological teachings from my studies and collective works found in the philosophy of "Empirical Truth."
