Book Description
Excerpt from Biography of Joseph Lane She indorses him, and she is a good judge of men and principles. Governor Lane comes up fresh from the great and pure fountain - the people. He is identified with every class - has risen by his own exertions through every grade of useful toil; and now stands preeminent among the highest in the land, as one who, soon as opportunity offered, showed the "ring of true metal." He is indeed a fitting and noble commentary on the freedom of our institutions. The perusal of his memoirs may force upon the reader, as their compilation has upon the author, the conviction of a resemblance in character to General Jackson. The same intrepidity of soul, patriotism, and firm resolve, that actuated General Jackson, has been manifest throughout General Lane's career. He is such a man, Indiana thinks, as, placed where he may, will fill the measure of his countrymen's expectations. As far as she has tried him such has been the result. His indomitable courage and energy in the field and best of practical common sense in civil life, are associated with a modesty which seeks to hide his merit, rather than, by doing himself justice, exhibit an appearance of proclaiming it. Hence he is not as well known as his services and worth should have made him. Should the Convention nominate him, and he be elected to the Presidency, it will be found (as is confidently anticipated from his past life) that with him we shall have an honest, economical, and American administration especially true to our own country in its foreign policy. Mere diplomacy will be set aside - the tinsel and trickery of courts and courtiers will be at a discount - the Government will be brought back to economy sinecures and favoritism will be abolished, and in the place of these the man of the people will restore our institutions to the paths from which we are fast departing, and make every official of the Government responsible for the faithful performance of his duties. Those who know, say such may reasonably be expected from the Cincinnatus of Indiana. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Contemporary environmental political theory considers the implications of the environmental crisis for such political concepts as rights, citizenship, justice, democracy, the state, race, class, and gender. As the field has matured, scholars have begun to explore connections between Green Theory and such canonical political thinkers as Plato, Machiavelli, Locke, and Marx. The essays in this volume put important figures from the political theory canon in dialogue with current environmental political theory. It is the first comprehensive volume to bring the insights of Green Theory to bear in reinterpreting these canonical theorists. Individual essays cover such classical figures in Western thought as Aristotle, Hume, Rousseau, Mill, and Burke, but they also depart from the traditional canon to consider Mary Wollstonecraft, W. E. B. Du Bois, Hannah Arendt, and Confucius. Engaging and accessible, the essays also offer original and innovative interpretations that often challenge standard readings of these thinkers. In examining and explicating how these great thinkers of the past viewed the natural world and our relationship with nature, the essays also illuminate our current environmental predicament. -- Publisher.

Book Description
A groundbreaking critique of the West's historical, cultural, and political perceptions of the East that is—three decades after its first publication—one of the most important books written about our divided world. "Intellectual history on a high order ... and very exciting." —The New York Times In this wide-ranging, intellectually vigorous study, Said traces the origins of "orientalism" to the centuries-long period during which Europe dominated the Middle and Near East and, from its position of power, defined "the orient" simply as "other than" the occident. This entrenched view continues to dominate western ideas and, because it does not allow the East to represent itself, prevents true understanding.
