Summary

"Democracy And Elections" examines the critical link between elections and effective democratic governance, questioning whether elections truly represent the cornerstone of democracy or merely mask deeper systemic issues. The book explores various voting systems globally, highlighting both their strengths and weaknesses, while also scrutinizing modern challenges like voter suppression and the influence of money in politics. One intriguing fact is the historical evolution of suffrage, revealing the long struggles for universal voting rights and ongoing debates surrounding electoral reforms. The book argues that elections alone are insufficient for a truly representative society, emphasizing the need for constant vigilance, active citizen participation, and addressing systemic inequalities that distort electoral outcomes. It begins by establishing a historical context and then moves to core principles of democratic theory and electoral systems. Later chapters evaluate the practical implications of different systems and investigate challenges that impede fair representation, such as voter ID laws and gerrymandering. This approach provides readers with a comprehensive understanding of the complexities inherent in achieving genuine political representation.

    American Poly - A History

    Recent studies have found that as many as one in five Americans have experimented with some form of sexual non-monogamy, and approximately one in fifteen knows someone who was or is polyamorous. The mainstream media has increasingly covered polyamorous lifestyles and the committed relationships of throuples, and dating apps have added polyamory as a status option. 
     
     
     
    This book is the first history to trace the evolution of polyamorous thought and practice within the broader context of American culture. Drawing on personal journals and letters, underground newsletters, and publications from the Kinsey Institute Archives, among other sources, it reconstructs polyamory's intellectual foundations, highlighting its unique blend of conservative political thought and countercultural spiritualism. Christopher M. Gleason locates its early foundations in the Roaring Twenties among bohemians. In the 1950s and 1960s it surprisingly emerged among libertarian science fiction writers. Throughout the 1990s, polyamorists utilized the internet to spread their ideas, often undermining any remaining religious or spiritual significance their ideas held. 
     
     
     
    Offering an original perspective on sexuality, marriage, and the family, American Poly reveals the history of polyamory in the United States from fringe practice to a new stage of the sexual revolution.

    There is an elite group that control the world. They run governments, companies and religions. They have done so for a very long time. Their names have changed, their faces altered but their bloodlines remain the same. We see glimpses of their power. We see the outcomes of their plots and schemes. We see revolutions and war. We succumb to their propaganda and manipulation again and again. Most have no idea that they are under the spell. 
     
    In the 18th century they emerged briefly into the spotlight to bring about world-wide cataclysmic change and they called themselves the Illuminati. Quickly they spread and embedded themselves and their ideals within other secret societies. The French had a bloody revolution. America turned the tide against a royal regime. Russia, Spain and more, all fell to the zeal of a new world order. 
     
    This is the story of the world's most powerful secret and sacred order.

    In its voracious hunger to fill its decks and spars with the bodies of strong young sailors, the nineteenth century US Navy and the commercial maritime industry welcomed eccentrics, criminals, outcasts, and misfits into a community of the marginalized, one that held very different values and expectations than the towns and villages from which the young men fled, a community that offered a tentative refuge to men who were sexually attracted to other men. 
     
     
     
    Drawing from biographies and autobiographies, diaries, newspapers, government reports, Congressional hearings, religious tracts, pornography, ships' logs, medical treatises, maritime fiction, court-martial reports, personal letters and business correspondence, Benemann provides an in-depth examination of nineteenth century LGBTQ culture as it developed at sea and in America's port cities.
