In "Isabel of Castile and the Making of the Spanish Nation, 1451-1504," Ierne L. Plunket explores the pivotal role played by Queen Isabel I in the formation of a unified Spain. Through a meticulous examination of political, social, and cultural elements of her reign, Plunket delves into Isabel's strategies for consolidating power, her far-reaching reforms, and her profound impact on Spanish identity. The author employs a narrative style that weaves together a rich tapestry of historical accounts, documents, and contemporary witness testimonies, positioning this biography not only as a historical study but also as a narrative that engages the reader's imagination within a vibrant context of late 15th-century Europe. Ierne L. Plunket, a respected historian with expertise in late medieval Iberian studies, draws on extensive primary source material and has dedicated her career to examining the complexities of Spanish history. Her scholarly background and deep-rooted interest in the sociopolitical machinations of the period imbue the work with authenticity and depth, allowing readers to discern how Isabel's reign resonates through history and its lasting effects on the Spanish nation. This book is highly recommended for readers seeking a nuanced understanding of Spanish history and the factors that shaped the nation's emergence. Plunket's insights make it an invaluable resource for historians, students, and general readers alike, illuminating the intricate dynamics of power, identity, and nationhood that characterized Isabel's era.

    A Supreme Court Unlike Any Other...

    A data-rich examination of the US Supreme Court’s unprecedented detachment from the democratic processes that buttress its legitimacy. 
    Today’s Supreme Court is unlike any other in American history. This is not just because of its jurisprudence but also because the current Court has a tenuous relationship with the democratic processes that help establish its authority. Historically, this “democracy gap” was not nearly as severe as it is today. Simply put, past Supreme Courts were constructed in a fashion far more in line with the promise of democracy—that the people decide and the majority rules. 
    Drawing on historical and contemporary data alongside a deep knowledge of court battles during presidencies ranging from FDR to Donald Trump, Kevin J. McMahon charts the developments that brought us here. McMahon offers insight into the altered politics of nominating and confirming justices, the shifting pool of Supreme Court hopefuls, and the increased salience of the Court in elections. A Supreme Court Unlike Any Other is an eye-opening account of today’s Court within the context of US history and the broader structure of contemporary politics.

    An analysis that grounds the law in the personality, liberty, and property of the individual from “the most brilliant economic journalist who ever lived” (Joseph Schumpeter, twentieth-century political economist).  The law is the organization of the natural right of lawful defense; it is the substitution of collective for individual forces, for the purpose of acting in the sphere in which they have a right to act, of doing what they have a right to do, to secure persons, liberties, and properties, and to maintain each in its right, so as to cause justice to reign over all.   It is with these words that the nineteenth-century French economist and statesman Frédéric Bastiat describes his theory of the individual rights of man in a classic refutation of the communist ideas that were sweeping across France at the time. In these pages, Bastiat affirms that the non-intervention of the State in private affairs gives rise to our wants and their satisfactions developing in their natural order. Problems arise when the law leaves its proper sphere and is employed in annihilating that justice which it should have established. He describes the threat of socialism as “philanthropic tyranny,” the enemy to his revered principles of justice, peace, order, stability, harmony, and logic. In clear, concise prose, Bastiat reveals the dangers of government overreach, a philosophy that still inspires libertarian ideology today.

    In an exciting exposition, Michael R. Bradley brings to life the Confederate cavalry operations during the winter of 1862. These strategic plans centered on an unprecedented use of horsemen in carefully orchestrated maneuvers to successfully strike behind enemy lines. The series of daring raids by Confederate riders were led by Nathan Bedford Forrest, John Hunt Morgan, Earl Van Dorn and Joseph Wheeler. Although of widely different backgrounds and military expertise, these men earned a spot in history by taking advantage of the one area in which the Confederacy held superiority - their cavalry. Under their leadership, relatively small numbers of horsemen in gray held vastly superior Union forces in place for five months. Through a detailed, day-by-day analysis of their bold forays deep into Union territory, Bradley presents a clear and concise picture of exactly how these leaders revolutionized mobile warfare. This fascinating exploration of military strategy includes a final section that contains a breakdown of the regiments and individuals who were a part of what Bradley terms the "horsemen of the Confederate apocalypse."
