New. The political discontent or malaise that typifies most modern democracies is mainly caused by the widely shared feeling that the political freedom of citizens to influence the development of their society and, related to this, their personal life, has become rather limited. We can only address this discontent when we rehabilitate politics, the deliberate, joint effort to give direction to society and to make the best of ourselves. In Pluralism, Democracy and Political Knowledge, Hans Blokland examines this challenge via a critical appraisal of the pluralist conception of politics and democracy. This conception was formulated by, above all, Robert A. Dahl, one of the most important political scholars and democratic theorists of the last half century. Taking his work as the point of reference, this book not only provides an illuminating history of political science, told via Dahl and his critics, it also offers a revealing analysis as to what progress we have made in our thinking on pluralism and democracy, and what progress we could make, given the epistemological constraints of the social sciences. Above and beyond this, the development and the problems of pluralism and democracy are explored in the context of the process of modernization. The author specifically discusses the extent to which individualization, differentiation and rationalization contribute to the current political malaise in those countries which adhere to a pluralist political system., 6, HARDCOVER.

Ever Eaten Poodle Strudel? Slain a Jabberwock? Bathed in Irish Stew? The world is turned upside down in this deliciously absurd feast of poetry; and in choosing and illustrating the verse,Quentin Blake creates an artful alliance of the nonsense to be found in words and pictures.With an artist's elegant eccentricity,he brings together the classic verses of nonsense greats such as Belloc,Carroll and Lear with those of an astonishing gallimaufry of other talents who include Tom Hood and A.E. Housman, Spike Milligan and Roger McGough, Samuel Beckett and Edward Gorey, John Updike and Russell Hoban, Margaret Mahy, Shel Silverstein, Mervyn Peake, Ogden Nash and Roald Dahl.There's even a song from Groucho Marx. This plethora of lunacy is ordered - but only just! - into fifteen enjoyable sections including Distracting Creatures, Portraits from Life, a Gamut of Achievements and even an Area of Uncertainty.Quentin Blake's drawings bring a unique vision and energy to each. Playfully rebellious,though-provoking and downright cheeky fun,'The Quentin Blake Book of Nonsense Verse' is sheer entertainment for nonsense-lovers of all ages.
