Download or read book Readings in American Democracy Classic Reprint written by Thames Williamson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-06 with total page 566 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Readings in American Democracy This volume is designed to accompany the editor's Problems in American Democracy, and the choice and arrangement of the material have been influenced by the plan of that text. In the preparation of this volume the effort has beento secure the advantages of a book of readings, and at the same time to avoid some of the drawbacks common to such compilations. In this connection the special features of the book may be referred to briefly: The editor has attempted to strike a judicious compromise between too long and too short selections. It is intended that each selec tion shall prove sufficiently extended to convey a fair and adequate idea of the author's point of View; on the other hand, the pressure for space in the volume, and the desirability Of suppressing material not bearing directly upon the point involved, have led to careful elimination, and, in some cases, to bracketed insertions. It need not be added that, in such cases, care has been taken not to distort the sense of the original. Despite the wide range Of many Of the chapters, the editor has attempted to choose and to arrange the selections so that each chapter will constitute a logical and unified narrative It is hoped, further, that the volume has gained something of the continuity Of a text from the fact that an editorial paragraph has been used, not only to introduce each selection, but to connect and to weave together the two selections between which it stands. To avoid the unsightliness of type Of varying sizes, the same size of type has been used for both editorial introductions and the selec tions. Care has been taken, however, to indicate precisely where each editorial introduction stops and the selected reading begins. To help the student to understand the selections, and to facilitate reference, marginal notes have been employed throughout the book. A number of questions on the readings is supplied at the end of each chapter. The volume is provided with an index.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Problems of American Democracy The last opportunity that millions of our citizens will ever have to consider some of these problems in a formal way is in the secondary school. Here education for the many ceases. And even for the smaller number who go to college it is well that at the age when they begin to form positive Opinions a definite opportunity should be afforded to con sider the great questions of society, industry, and govern ment. And so we have in many schools, and shall have in many more, a course known as Problems of Democracy. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Three Centuries of American Democracy Classic Reprint written by William Macdonald and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-22 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Three Centuries of American Democracy I have had particularly in mind, in writing this book, the very large number of persons who want to know the main facts and the formative influences in the growth of the United States as a democratic nation, but who nevertheless have no time to read elaborate narratives or to study a series of books on special periods or topics. I hope, however, that the book may also prove useful to students and teachers as a summary narrative around which the details of lectures or comprehensive reading can be grouped. The references to authorities are intended, like the text, primarily for the general reader who may wish to pursue the subject further in books that are most worth while. So many elaborate bibliographies of American history are now available that anyone who desires to follow any particular topic to its limits can easily find guidance, while the systematic student will naturally enlarge his bibliography according to his needs or the library resources at his command.

Book excerpt: Alexis de Tocqueville's Democracy in America (De la démocratie en Amérique) is a classic text detailing the United States of the 1830s, showing a primarily favorable view by Tocqueville as he compares it to his native France.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The War and American Democracy But it is, undoubtedly, due in still larger measure to the methods of war which Germany has re-introduced into a civilization whence men had fondly hoped, before this war began, they had been forever driven out, that the conflict has deepened in intensity. Whatever parts the governments may have played, recent events and observers unite in forc ing the conviction that this is now a peoples' war. That this is largely the effect of frightfulness no disinterested person can well deny; and Germany's best friends must deplore a policy which has lost her more than a great defeat, and recruited the ranks and determination of her opponents more than a victory of the Allies. If the latent barbarism beneath the veneer of civilization has proved greater than we thought, it is no less evident that men's nerves have not suffered as much deterioration from modern conditions as was believed by those who sought through such means to overpower these opponents. And the demonstrated futility of such operations, were there no other reason for their dis continuance, portends their re-elimination from the military code.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Conservative Democracy: Principles and Practise of American Democracy All these old forms and agencies of power, all the continuing currents of influences ancient before our time, have left us a heritage of both good and evil, and it was only the rebirth of a people m a new land that enabled any great body of mankind simultaneously to view the whole course of events in perspective and to assort the elements of government and recom bine them to form what we now call American democracy. Without this separation by the sea it is doubtful if the human family could have evolved our philosophy of government and have put it into practise in the last quarter of the eighteenth century.

Download or read book Problems of American Democracy written by Henry Reed Burch and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-15 with total page 616 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Problems of American Democracy: Political, Economic, Social To the gradual crystallization of educational thought in favor of a general study of the social sciences in secondary institutions, this book owes its origin. The attempt has been made to acquaint the student with the bold outlines of the political, economic, and social development of Amer ican institutions. The task involved presented so much freedom of choice that, naturally, opinion may differ as to the relative importance of the various materials available for this purpose. However, the aim has been to provide the student with typical material for a general introduc tory course in problems of democracy, which not only stresses certain fundamental characteristics of our own civilization, but preserves at the same time a proper bal ance between the political, the economic, and the social factors in American life. Furthermore, the topics selected have been treated as unified problems, each of which is dis cussed from the standpoint of general social development, rather than subdivided into a series of separate, air-tight compartments labeled political, economic, and social. Since this volume presents a combined treatment of these three elements, it is intended primarily to meet the needs of those institutions in which opportunity is lacking for a detailed treatment of the social sciences individually. It follows the same method pursued in the companion books, A merican Economic Life and A merican Social Problems, and draws upon material contained therein. It marks.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from American Democracy and Asiatic Citizenship The American Japanese problem remains unsolved. Diplomatic correspondence over the questions at issue between the two governments came to a stop in the summer of 1914, neither being satisfied with the position assumed by the other, and neither seeing what the next step should be to reach a position satisfactory to both. Important writers of both lands have continued vigorously to discuss the international situation. In each land there are those who denounce the alleged weakness of their own government in dealing with the asserted aggressive deeds and policies of the other. Such writers, however, are dangerous guides. Urging our "right" and denouncing their "wrong" does not help to solve actual problems. In spite of the fury of their fine writing and their hysterical exhortations they make no important contribution to the solution of the problems or to the establishment of permanently right and mutually satisfactory relations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from American Democracy From Washington to Wilson: Addresses and State Papers; Edited With an Introduction Some of President Wilson's addresses had already been very thoroughly annotated by various professors (see names in the notes) and issued by the Committee on Public Information at Washington. Permission to use these has been very graciously granted by that body. By keeping the texts Of the addresses at the beginning and placing all biographical material and notes at the back of the volume, the editor feels that the double pur pose is served of presenting a work to those who merely wish to read the-greatest Of the public addresses in the period covered from Washington to Wilson, and to students who wish to make a more thorough study of them.
