Sinopse

The Canadian Federal Election of 2008 is a comprehensive analysis of all aspects of the campaign and election outcome. The chapters are written by leading professors of political science, journalism, and communications. They examine the strategies, successes, and failures of the major political parties -- the Conservatives (Faron Ellis and Peter Woolstencroft), Liberals (Brooke Jeffrey), New Democrats (Lynda Erickson and David Laycock), Block Quebecois (Eric Belanger and Richard Nadeau), and Green Party (Susan Harada).  
Also featured in this comprehensive volume are chapters on the media coverage (Christopher Waddell) and the way Canada's party finance laws affected the campaign (Tom Flanagan and Harol J. Jansen). The book concludes with a detailed analysis of the voting behaviour of Canadians in 2008 by Harold D. Clarke, Allan Kornberg, and Thomas J. Scotto, and an overview of the long- and short-term forces influencing the future of Canadian electoral politics by Lawrence LeDuc and Jon H. Pammett. The introduction by Christopher Dornan discusses the post-election crisis, while the appendices include all of the election results.

    “The solution for the modern GOP . . . Intellectual ammunition for the modern conservative movement.” —SENATOR RAND PAULHow can America recover from economic stagnation, moral exhaustion, and looming bankruptcy? Donald J. Devine shows the way.Devine, a longtime adviser to Ronald Reagan, lays out a powerful case for the philosophical synthesis of freedom and tradition that Reagan said was the essence of modern conservatism. The secret of America’s success, he shows, has been the Constitution’s capacity to harmonize the twin ideals of freedom and tradition. But today, progressivism has so corrupted modern political thinking—in both parties—that leaders keep calling for the same failed tactics: more money poured into more big-government programs.In America’s Way Back, Devine not only reveals where things went wrong, and why, but also points the way to reclaiming America’s freedom, prosperity, and creativity. The solution lies in a new “fusion” of traditional and libertarian thought.

    In this work, Russell presents his views on the problems of modern society and offers his proposals for a better future. He critiques both capitalism and socialism as inadequate solutions, and instead advocates for a system based on guild socialism, where workers control the means of production and are organized into functional groups. Russell argues that the ultimate goal of society should be the development of the individual, and proposes a society that is organized around individual freedom and fulfillment rather than material wealth. He advocates for the abolition of the wage system and the establishment of a system of economic cooperation and communal ownership. He also discusses the role of education in a free society, arguing that it should be aimed at cultivating creativity, critical thinking, and individuality. Read in English, unabridged.

    On how our feeling of equilibrium has characterized us as a country and will protect our future. 
    In the years that the creator served in the public parliament he came to figure out the extraordinary person of Australia; to see the value in its assets and shortcomings; and in particular to regard the feeling of equilibrium in the plan of public strategy that has long characterized us as a country and made Australia an appealing objective for individuals from across the world. 
    In this book he investigates this equilibrium, its establishments and its future. Composed against the background of the Coronavirus pandemic, as well as a portion of the more challenged political occasions of late years - the appointment of Donald Trump, the Brexit vote, the ascent of China, and, inside our own country, a merry go round of six heads of the state in eleven years - these reflections address how Australia has answered strain over the course of the past ten years or somewhere in the vicinity. Editorial regarding these matters from lawmakers, assessment scholars and web-based entertainment can at times appear to be deafening and disruptive. Australia's 25th and second longest serving head of the state has confidence that regardless of what difficulties and limits take steps to agitate our feeling of equilibrium, the nation's foundations and individuals will stay hearty for a significant length of time.

    “The documentation is spectacularly good, the best ever on the UFO subject. And the conclusion is overwhelmingly powerful.” —Whitley Strieber, New York Times–bestselling author Richard M. Dolan is a gifted historian whose study of US Cold War strategy led him to the broader context of increased security measures and secrecy since World War II. One aspect of such government policies that has continued to hold the public’s imagination for over half a century is the question of unidentified flying objects.UFOs and the National Security State is the first volume of a two-part detailed chronological narrative of the national security dimensions of the UFO phenomenon from 1941 to the present. Working from hundreds of declassified records and other primary and secondary sources, Dolan centers his investigation on the American military and intelligence communities, demonstrating that they take UFOs seriously indeed. Included in this volume are the activities of more than fifty military bases relating to UFOs, innumerable violations of sensitive airspace by unknown craft and analyses of the Roswell controversy, the CIA-sponsored Robertson Panel, and the Condon Committee Report. Dolan highlights the development of civilian anti-secrecy movements, which flourished in the 1950s and 1960s until the adoption of an official government policy and subsequent “closing of the door” during the Nixon administration. “A thorough and monumental undertaking.” —Dr. Edgar Mitchell, Apollo 14 astronaut “If there ever had been a ‘must-read, must-have’ book on the subject, UFOs and the National Security State is it. I promise you that once you’ve read it, you’ll never view the subject of UFOs or the American military/intelligence establishment in the same light again.” —Don Ecker, senior editor, UFO Magazine
