Book Description
Excerpt from The Civil Government of the United States (Revised) A new educational work, should, in itself, plainly indicate the excuse for its existence. Especially is this true of a textbook upon Civil Government, since the subject has been already so well treated in the various works now in daily use. Probably no one at this time doubts the propriety of giving the study of Civil Government a prominent place in our schools. Some of the pupils in the school rooms to-day will, in a few years, be occupying public positions of responsibility and power; and while these maybe comparatively few in number, yet in this country every citizen has political duties to perform, and should therefore be familiar with the plan and workings of the government which imposes them. Hence it remains only a question as to the manner in which the subject may be most effectively presented for the purposes of instruction. Those who, as teachers, have heard their classes in Civil Government complain that the subject was dry and uninteresting, need only consult their own recollections to know the justice of such complaints. It certainly is not possible to invest the subject with the charms of romance, or give it the thrilling interest of a History of the Crusades or the Conquest of Mexico. But it has seemed possible for a text-book upon Civil Government to be made so readable that it will invite and hold the attention of the pupil, instead of being the passive object of compulsory study. To accomplish this has been the aim in the preparation of this work. Our government being representative, the popular will controls, through these channels of representation, the intermediate political subdivisions, and finally asserts itself in the power of the Federal Government.

Book Description
Excerpt from A d104 Book on Civil Government in the United States If all the laws Of the state are self-imposed, that is, if there is no power outside its body of peo ple which dictates to it in any way, the sovereignty state is said to be sovereign. This word does not admit of comparison: one state cannot be more sovereign than another; and a small state, in this respect, stands on an equality with a large one. The sovereignty of a state consists in the absolute right to control its own members, and in the absolute right to resist any inter ference in its affairs by any other state. The first of these rights constitutes its internal sovereignty; the second, its external sovereignty. From these state ments it will be seen that Boston is not a state, that Massachusetts is not a sovereign state. The United States is a sovereign state or nation. Great Britain and Russia are both sovereign states. Having now defined a state, we are prepared to define civil government as control by law exercised by the state over its members as such.

Book Description
Excerpt from Civil Government of the United States In style the same principle has governed. The earlier chapters may appear too simple, while some teachers may consider the later ones too difficult. I hope, however, that experience will prove that the attempt to lead the pupil along a gentle upward grade has been successful. It has been my experience that a reasonable amount of detail makes a subject more intelligible and realistic to the pupil, and thus enables him to prepare and remember it better. I would urge the importance of requiring the prepara tion of the suggestive questions at the end of the chapter. IT his will lead to independence of thought and judgment.

Book Description
Since its original landmark publication in 1980, A People's History of the United States has been chronicling American history from the bottom up, throwing out the official version of history taught in schools -- with its emphasis on great men in high places -- to focus on the street, the home, and the, workplace. Known for its lively, clear prose as well as its scholarly research, A People's History is the only volume to tell America's story from the point of view of -- and in the words of -- America's women, factory workers, African-Americans, Native Americans, the working poor, and immigrant laborers. As historian Howard Zinn shows, many of our country's greatest battles -- the fights for a fair wage, an eight-hour workday, child-labor laws, health and safety standards, universal suffrage, women's rights, racial equality -- were carried out at the grassroots level, against bloody resistance. Covering Christopher Columbus's arrival through President Clinton's first term, A People's History of the United States, which was nominated for the American Book Award in 1981, features insightful analysis of the most important events in our history. Revised, updated, and featuring a new after, word by the author, this special twentieth anniversary edition continues Zinn's important contribution to a complete and balanced understanding of American history.

Book Description
The Second Treatise is one of the most important political treatises ever written and one of the most far-reaching in its influence. In his provocative 15-page introduction to this edition, the late eminent political theorist C. B. Macpherson examines Locke's arguments for limited, conditional government, private property, and right of revolution and suggests reasons for the appeal of these arguments in Locke's time and since.

Book Description
NATIONAL BESTSELLER • NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FINALIST • An "extraordinary ... profoundly moving" history (The New York Times Book Review) of the American Civil War that reveals the ways that death on such a scale changed not only individual lives but the life of the nation. An estiated 750,000 soldiers lost their lives in the American Civil War. An equivalent proportion of today's population would be seven and a half million. In This Republic of Suffering, Drew Gilpin Faust describes how the survivors managed on a practical level and how a deeply religious culture struggled to reconcile the unprecedented carnage with its belief in a benevolent God. Throughout, the voices of soldiers and their families, of statesmen, generals, preachers, poets, surgeons, nurses, northerners and southerners come together to give us a vivid understanding of the Civil War's most fundamental and widely shared reality. With a new introduction by the author, and a new foreword by Mike Mullen, 17th Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

Book Description
Excerpt from American History and Government: A d104-Book on the History and Civil Government of the United States It is safe to say that a very large proportion of our pupils leave school without becoming sufficiently familiar with our system of government. The curriculum of the high school is crowded. New subjects are constantly being introduced for one reason or another, and this tends to the undue crowding of the course of study and to bringing into the high school many subjects that properly belong to the college. The result is that time is not allowed for the thorough drilling and for the supplementary reading on those subjects in which some solid elementary knowledge should be expected of all the pupils in our public schools.
