Book excerpt: Excerpt from Our Near Future: A Message to All the Governments and People of Earth Only recently has it been possible to state, with any thing like accuracy, the dates when the occurrences mentioned in The Old Testament took place, for the reason that history is not reliable beyond 600 B. C.; but the great organized societies of the United States, England and France have sent astronomers, mathematicians, doctors, teachers, students, preachers, etc., etc., to Egypt, Palestine, Babylon and other ancient settlements of earth to dig up, uncover, figure out and interpret the inscriptions on monuments, bricks, slabs, walls, tombs, statuary, pottery, pyramids, buildings, etc., which were made by the inhabitants of earth long before history was written in orderly manner; and they have brought to the surface many things which throw light on the dates when some if the occurrences mentioned in the Bible took place; and in every instance the discoveries have confirmed the Bible narrative. It is the hand of God at work to stun and drive to the wall the people, who have become so wise in their own conceit that they have been denying the accuracy of the Bible, and are now so bold as to deny even the existence of God Himself, right in the face of facts now occurring, which clearly show His movements over the earth with great power, like the rumblings of the thunder, so that the heavens and the earth are trembling under His footsteps and the governments of men are being shaken to pieces.

Download or read book How Democracies Die written by Steven Levitsky and published by Crown. This book was released on 2019-01-08 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “Comprehensive, enlightening, and terrifyingly timely.”—The New York Times Book Review (Editors' Choice) WINNER OF THE GOLDSMITH BOOK PRIZE • SHORTLISTED FOR THE LIONEL GELBER PRIZE • NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY The Washington Post • Time • Foreign Affairs • WBUR • Paste Donald Trump’s presidency has raised a question that many of us never thought we’d be asking: Is our democracy in danger? Harvard professors Steven Levitsky and Daniel Ziblatt have spent more than twenty years studying the breakdown of democracies in Europe and Latin America, and they believe the answer is yes. Democracy no longer ends with a bang—in a revolution or military coup—but with a whimper: the slow, steady weakening of critical institutions, such as the judiciary and the press, and the gradual erosion of long-standing political norms. The good news is that there are several exit ramps on the road to authoritarianism. The bad news is that, by electing Trump, we have already passed the first one. Drawing on decades of research and a wide range of historical and global examples, from 1930s Europe to contemporary Hungary, Turkey, and Venezuela, to the American South during Jim Crow, Levitsky and Ziblatt show how democracies die—and how ours can be saved. Praise for How Democracies Die “What we desperately need is a sober, dispassionate look at the current state of affairs. Steven Levitsky and Daniel Ziblatt, two of the most respected scholars in the field of democracy studies, offer just that.”—The Washington Post “Where Levitsky and Ziblatt make their mark is in weaving together political science and historical analysis of both domestic and international democratic crises; in doing so, they expand the conversation beyond Trump and before him, to other countries and to the deep structure of American democracy and politics.”—Ezra Klein, Vox “If you only read one book for the rest of the year, read How Democracies Die. . . .This is not a book for just Democrats or Republicans. It is a book for all Americans. It is nonpartisan. It is fact based. It is deeply rooted in history. . . . The best commentary on our politics, no contest.”—Michael Morrell, former Acting Director of the Central Intelligence Agency (via Twitter) “A smart and deeply informed book about the ways in which democracy is being undermined in dozens of countries around the world, and in ways that are perfectly legal.”—Fareed Zakaria, CNN

Book excerpt: NATIONAL BESTSELLER • The renowned theoretical physicist and national bestselling author of The God Equation details the developments in computer technology, artificial intelligence, medicine, space travel, and more, that are poised to happen over the next century. “Mind-bending…. [An] alternately fascinating and frightening book.” —San Francisco Chronicle Space elevators. Internet-enabled contact lenses. Cars that fly by floating on magnetic fields. This is the stuff of science fiction—it’s also daily life in the year 2100. Renowned theoretical physicist Michio Kaku considers how these inventions will affect the world economy, addressing the key questions: Who will have jobs? Which nations will prosper? Kaku interviews three hundred of the world’s top scientists—working in their labs on astonishing prototypes. He also takes into account the rigorous scientific principles that regulate how quickly, how safely, and how far technologies can advance. In Physics of the Future, Kaku forecasts a century of earthshaking advances in technology that could make even the last centuries’ leaps and bounds seem insignificant.

Download or read book The Future of Local Government Classic Reprint written by G. D. H. Cole and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-13 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Future of Local Government Local Government seems, to many people, an uninspiring study. The school of Socialists, very influential in this country in the past, which devoted its principal attention to the development of the "municipal enterprise" of a generation ago, has been, then and since then, freely denounced and contemned as advocates of mere "gas and water Socialism." Perhaps, from one point of view, the criticism was just; for it was easy for the local Labour councillor, keenly conscious of the responsibilities of his office and somewhat overwhelmed by the mass of administrative detail in which he found himself involved, to forget all about the wider issues of Socialism, and to devote himself entirely to his efforts to improve the housing, sanitation, and services and amenities of his native town within the limitations imposed by the present economic and political system. But, if the criticism was in some measure justified, certainly in some quarters the reaction has been allowed to proceed too far, so as to obscure the fundamental importance of the work upon which the local Labour councillor is engaged. For Local Government is a matter of primary concern, above all to the Labour Movement, not only on account of the immediate services which it is capable of performing, but also because of the place which it can be made to assume in a reorganized social system.

This book was released on 2017-10-31 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Socialism and Government, Vol. 1 The State as we know it to - day, with national boundaries as its condition and national armies and navies as its most dramatic form of expression, is probably doomed to disappear and, at some still distant date, the parliament of man may assemble to represent the federation of the world. Yea, even the idea of government based upon force and carried out by legal enactment may become foreign to the human mind when in some far remote generation the beatitudes have become the common rule of life and the moral ideas of the Prophets have been embodied in the ordin ary habits of the people. But these visions of the New Jerusalem only come to uswhen we are in the Spirit. Our heritageis Patmos - its spite, its politics, its problems. As yet, humanity is broken into fragments - colours, civilisations, races, nations. Its future perfections must grow from its present imperfections, and the task of the social reformer who works for permanent results is to begin improving with the material which he has at hand. Ideals are only valuable when they are used for the practical purpose of regenerating the exist ing realities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The San Francisco Bay Area: Its Problems and Future The Institute of Governmental Studies is pleased to present this vol ume bringing together seven of the Franklin K. Lane monographs dealing with, the problems and future of the San Francisco Bay Area. The series takes its name from Franklin Knight Lane (1864 a distinguished Californian who was successively New York correspondent for the San Francisco Chronicle, City and County Attorney of San Francisco, member and later Chairman of the U. S. Interstate Commerce Commission, and Secretary of the Interior in the Cabinet of President Woodrow Wilson. Shortly after Mr. Lane's death, a group of friends arranged for the establishment of a fund to be held and invested by Herbert Hoover, Adolph C. Miller and Franklin D. Roosevelt for the benefit of Mr. Lane's widow during her lifetime, and thereafter for some purpose to perpetuate his memory. In 1939, the three trustees acted to create the Franklin K. Lane Memorial Foundation at the University of California, Berkeley. The general purposes of the foundation are to promote better understanding of the nature and working of the American system of democratic government, particularly in its political, economic and social aspects, and the study and development of the most suitable methods for its im provement in the light of experience.

Download or read book The Next Generation Classic Reprint written by Frederick A. Rhodes and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-21 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Next Generation No man knoweth what a day may bring forth, and no body of men can declare what may be the condition of this or-that nation a generation hence. To present a book on The Next Generation may seem presumptuous to the careful students of history. While our best plans for the future may be overthrown by unsuspected coming events, we must build for the future, let come what may. Since society cannot exist without government in some form or another and since a good state of government requires that a majority of the individuals be of a reasonable mind, any treatise which considers seriously those things which are for the betterment of the race should command some consideration. Does blood tell? Can a mother influence her daughter by thoughts, deeds and things seen during the develop ment of her child? Can we safely adopt a foundling? Who is'to blame that the child is born deformed or men tally defective? These are only a few of the many ques tions which are continually being asked in any discussion concerning future generations. Any teaching which states that the son of a thief must steal or that the son of a drunkard is condemned to a drunkard's grave is doing much harm. We all agree that good parents with a good state of society predisposes to good children, but religion demands that all be given a chance.

Download or read book Council Government Versus Mayor Government Classic Reprint written by Edward Dana Durand and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-24 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Council Government Versus Mayor Government We are first of all confronted with the argument from our own municipal experience. We are told that the American city council has proved itself in practice unfit to be trusted. Its powers have been taken away only because it has abused them. Whatever methods of election or of organization have been tried, it has been found impossible to secure good council men. The system of council rule worked well enough in the early days, with simple administrative problems and a compara tively high qualification for the electorate. But with the intro duction of universal suffrage, the influx of foreign immigrants, the intrusion of party politics and the growth of municipal functions, the system broke down completely. These state ments are usually made as if they were self-evident common places of history. Seldom is any detailed study brought to their support. But historical evidence must be handled with the greatest care in order to be conclusive. Failure rightly to analyze causes and effects and to take account of differences in conditions is apt to vitiate our reasoning. Not yet have we suflicient knowledge of municipal history or suflicient outlook into the future to justify dogmatic conclusions as to the relative success of council rule and mayor rule. A few considerations may be presented, however, which show how comparatively weak is this argument in favor of the mayor system from our experience in city government.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Future of the United States: By Divine Appointment and the Doom of Monarchy, as Predicted in Revelation That either the 'monarchical form of government, or the Republican form, must become universal on earth, is a self evident truth. We Americans see very readily that the free. Democratic, representative form of government, of which we are the great successful representative, must and will supplant all monarchy and become universal. And it begins to be seen and felt by the crowned heads of Europe and the more enlight ened and thoughtful of their subjects. The Empress Eugenie. Several years ago, ventured the prophecy that in fifty years there would not be a crowned head in Europe. And an event that is so readily sanctioned by reason, and is such a natural and unavoidable sequence of our rapidly advancing civilization, and, above all, is plainly taught of God in the predictions of prophecy, must and will be among the events of subsequent history, and cannot be very far distant. The history of the world is but the history of God's dealings with the nations, and prophecy is but the history of nations pre-written.
