THIS BOOK, First published anonymously, March 1880, and soon in various unauthorized editions. It wasn't until the 1925 edition that Adams was listed as author. Henry Adams remarked (ironically as usual), "The wholesale piracy of Democracy was the single real triumph of my life."—it was very popular, as readers tried to guess who the author was and who the characters really were. ON the first of December, Mrs. Lee took the train for Washington, and before five o'clock that evening she was entering her newly hired house on Lafayette Square. She shrugged her shoulders with a mingled expression of contempt and grief at the curious barbarism of the curtains and the wall-papers, and her next two days were occupied with a life-and-death struggle to get the mastery over her surroundings. In this awful contest the interior of the doomed house suffered as though a demon were in it; not a chair, not a mirror, not a carpet, was left untouched, and in the midst of the worst confusion the new mistress sat, calm as the statue of Andrew Jackson in the square under her eyes, and issued her orders with as much decision as that hero had ever shown. Towards the close of the second day, victory crowned her forehead. A new era, a nobler conception of duty and existence, had dawned upon that benighted and heathen residence. The wealth of Syria and Persia was poured out upon the melancholy Wilton carpets; embroidered comets and woven gold from Japan and Teheran depended from and covered over every sad stuff-curtain; a strange medley of sketches, paintings, fans, embroideries, and porcelain was hung, nailed, pinned, or stuck against the wall; finally the domestic altarpiece, the mystical Corot landscape, was hoisted to its place over the parlour fire, and then all was over. The setting sun streamed softly in at the windows, and peace reigned in that redeemed house and in the heart of its mistress. "I think it will do now, Sybil," said she, surveying the scene.

When, in 1831, Alexis de Tocqueville came to study Democracy in America, the trial of nearly a half-century of the working of our system had been made, and it had been proved, by many crucial tests, to be a government of "liberty regulated by law," with such results in the development of strength, in population, wealth, and military and commercial power, as no age had ever witnessed. De Tocqueville had a special inquiry to prosecute, in his visit to America, in which his generous and faithful soul and the powers of his great intellect were engaged in the patriotic effort to secure to the people of France the blessings that Democracy in America had ordained and established throughout nearly the entire Western Hemisphere. He had read the story of the French Revolution, much of which had been recently written in the blood of men and women of great distinction who were his progenitors; and had witnessed the agitations and terrors of the Restoration and of the Second Republic, fruitful in crime and sacrifice, and barren of any good to mankind. He had just witnessed the spread of republican government through all the vast continental possessions of Spain in America, and the loss of her great colonies. He had seen that these revolutions were accomplished almost without the shedding of blood, and he was filled with anxiety to learn the causes that had placed republican government, in France, in such contrast with Democracy in America. De Tocqueville was scarcely thirty years old when he began his studies of Democracy in America. It was a bold effort for one who had no special training in government, or in the study of political economy, but he had the example of Lafayette in establishing the military foundation of these liberties, and of Washington, Jefferson, Madison, and Hamilton, all of whom were young men, in building upon the Independence of the United States that wisest and best plan of general government that was ever devised for a free people.

"...az els? magyar regény, amely g?rbe tük?rben, de megért? szeretettel mutatja be a mai társadalom társkeres? igyekezetét." (Tímár Péter, filmrendez?) "Nem érdemes letenni!" (Schell Judit, színészn?)Hogyan fogjunk pasit negyven f?l?tt? Ahogy ennek a k?nyvnek a f?szerepl?i, talán te is úgy próbálod megtalálni az igazit újra és újra. Eltér? jellemek, eltér? sorsok. Egyben azonban megegyeznek: mindannyian várják még a ?nagy szerelmet”, mik?zben megmosolyogtatóan csetlenek-botlanak a párkeresés labirintusában. Nem akarják elhinni, hogy a mesebeli királyfi nem létezik, ezért kicsit pironkodva bár, de fejest ugranak az internetes társkeresés mélyvizébe, és tucatnyi ?bénázást” k?vet?en rátalálnak a boldogságukra. Vagy mégsem? Netán azt is megbánják, hogy belekezdtek? Létezik-e boldog párkapcsolat, ha már elmúltál negyven? Békésy Erika nem próbál elmélyült társadalomrajzot adni, mégis felvillant helyzeteket a mai magyar valóságból. Szatirikus hangvétel, perg? ritmus, komikus helyzetek, groteszkbe hajló figurák, és humor, humor, humor. Ezek jellemzik a felh?tlen szórakozást nyújtó regényt.

The 5th SS Division Wiking was the first 'international' – i.e. largely non-German – Waffen-SS division and the only German panzer division comprised largely of foreign troops. Approximately 75 per cent of the division's strength were non-German nationals, all volunteers, and the majority from occupied countries like Belgium, Holland, France, Denmark, and Norway. The Wiking division operated exclusively on the Eastern Front during World War II, where the division quickly earned itself a deserved combat reputation but also served as a 'finishing school', spinning off a host of additional Waffen-SS divisions. While Germany was on the offensive in the East, Wiking served as a spearhead for Operations Barbarossa and Citadel. Later in the war it served as a defensive 'fire brigade', plugging gaps in the line as needed in response to Soviet attacks: breaking out of the Cherkassy pocket and defending Budapest as part of the Sixth SS Panzer Army, before its tattered remnants ended the war attempting to postpone the inevitable in Berlin. Part of the SS Divisional Histories series, SS-Wiking is fully illustrated with rare Eastern Front photographs, many of which have never been published before. It also includes numerous maps and biographies of the key personnel, including such figures as Josef Mengele, Leon Degrelle, Felix Steiner and Herbert Gille.

Set during the political upheavals of 19th Century England, Middlemarch is an epic story of love, politics, and passion. The novel follows lives of the ambitious young Doctor Lydgate as he takes up his position at Middlemarch’s new hospital, and Dorothea Brooke who desperately wants to make something of her life; however, as a woman she is forbidden the study of Greek and Latin and no one takes her notions of societal improvement seriously.

Laevsky is a dissipated romantic given to gambling and flirtation. He has run off to the sea with another man's wife and quickly grown tired of her, but two obstacles block his route to escape: he is broke, and he faces the absolute enmity of Von Koren, an arrogant zoologist and former friend who can no longer tolerate Laevsky's irresponsibility. Soon Laevsky confronts Von Koren, accusing him of meddling in his affairs, but Von Koren maneuvers a criticism Laevsky makes of their mutual friend, Dr. Samoylenko, into a challenge to a duel.

Als Solita, frisch aus Florenz in England angekommen, sich um eine Mitfahrgelegenheit zum Herzog Herzog von Calverleigh bemüht, ahnt sie nicht welche Folgen ihre unschuldige Plapperei in der Kutsche haben wird. Nach Jahren der Vernachl?ssigung m?chte sie sich dem Herzog, ihrem Vormund, in Erinnerung rufen und ihn dazu bewegen, ihr zu helfen, ihren Vater zu r?chen, der von russischen Spionen ermordet wurde. Doch ausgerechnet an diesem Wochenende findet eine Gesellschaft auf dem Schloss statt, die von zwei sehr wichtigen russischen G?sten besucht wird. Wird Solita sich zu übereilten Aktionen hinreiβen lassen? Und welche geheimen Machenschaften verfolgt der Herzog?

My whole being from head to heels is bursting with a strange, incomprehensible feeling. I can't analyse it just now—I haven't the time, I'm too lazy, and there—hang analysis! Why, is a man likely to interpret his sensations when he is flying head foremost from a belfry, or has just learned that he has won two hundred thousand? Is he in a state to do it? This was more or less how I began my love-letter to Sasha, a girl of nineteen with whom I had fallen in love.

　　《德国学术》以德国现代思想史为脉络，延展思路，格局包容，力求以严谨的学术态度和阔的思想史视野，深到德国思想的内里和细部，为国内广大的德国思想研究者提供详实的思想资料和新鲜的学术观。 　　本辑锁定德国青年运动。 　　德国青年运动于1900年代以候鸟运动的形式在德国兴起，并迅速发展为一场全国性的青年运动。由于德意志民族在现代化道路上的后发性质，德意志青年运动有其特殊性：在形式上，继承德意志知识人的漫游传统，德国青年运动以漫游山川的“候鸟运动”而兴起，从柏林旁边的小城施特格利茨肇始，短短三五年时间就发展成全德意志青年有组织的普遍运动；在精神上，当其他国家的青年热切地奔向现代性的地平线地，德国青年却返身走向前现代的自然和农业社会。运动中的青年们希望通过漫游，寻找尚未受到现代性侵染的民间文化中重构德意志民族的生活方式，以此建构出一种区别于“西方”社会模式的共同体。 　　这场运动不容忽视的重要性，还体现在另外两个方面。其一，从初的候鸟运动，到后来的希特勒青年团、青年抵抗运动，德国青年运动与纳粹关系复杂；其二，许多著名的德国现代思想家都参与到德国青年运动之中，包括本雅明、容格尔、冯特、瑙曼，等等。这些思想家对德国现代思想影响至深，可称为现代德意志文化的形塑者。 　　本辑收录的文章，既有专篇思想史书写，也有对青年运动与家庭教育、帝国想像、青年世代、保守主义、外在视角等等之间关系的探究。既深细致，又多种面相，力求成为国内德国青年运动研究的先导。

　　中国是世界上*个真正的国家，将中国的国家与西方的民族国家放在一起衡量，后者在很多方面都未达到前者的标准。所以，在某种程度上也可以认为，西方只有政体，没有国家，只有中国这样的国家，才是国家，而且是大一统国家。 　　中国共产党建立的“人民共和国”，是中国两千年来大一统国家、天下为公传统的延续，是当下中国区别于世界其他各国的独特政治价值。今天的中国，无论与百年前历史上的中国相比，还是与当今世界各国相比，都算得上是一个成功的现代化国家。

本书阐释了新制度主义的根基——规范制度主义，分析了实证制度主义和社会学制度主义，以及国际制度主义，论证了利益表达的制度。 并且，本书汇集了当代对制度主义研究的*成果，对第二版部分章节行了改写。本书涉及的主要问题：制度由何构成？制度怎样形成？制度如何变迁？个人和制度如何互动？制度如何解释行为，及其能否验证？制度如何设计？制度如何运行？什么是好的制度？

美国，从立国、崛起到称霸，走过的套路好像武侠小说中的“大侠”； 欧洲，曾经是“武林盟主”，不过已经“退居二线”； 俄罗斯，在地缘战略上的诉求就和其国徽上的双头鹰一样——左顾右盼； 印度，要做“有声有色”的大国，实际情况却因其独特的地理环境变得复杂； 中国，具备成为“王者”的所有条件，但要想真正“上位”，还必须依靠智慧和勇气，踏踏实实拼出来！

施米特是欧洲20世纪*重要的公法学家之一，一生中对欧洲和全球的政治秩序思考做出了重要的贡献。在《大地的法》中，施米特以为，欧洲现代以国家为主体的国际法秩序从现实到理论上都已经严重不足，必须要引大空间的秩序，才能为欧洲和世界确立被实证主义和自由主义所败坏的国际秩序。本辑的主题论文包括施米特基于此而对战争问题的思考，并通过著名的施米特学者韦伯对施米特《罗马天主教与政治形式》一文的分析，深其思考。集中另有国内学者对《政治的概念》和《大地的法》这两部*重要的著作的学术论文。本辑的其他常设栏目也各具特色。 

本书分决策内幕、战火烽烟、碧海风波、特战疑踪等九部分，不仅分析战争形势和战略战术，介绍战役经过、主要将领、武器装备，更论及历史谜团和一战逸闻等。全书分为九章，辅以上百幅珍贵照片，尽量还原次世界大战的本来面目。

本书立足新时代地方政府治理体系和治理能力的现代化转型，借助华东理工大学公共管理（MPA）专业硕士研究生的优秀研究成果，以及地方政府职能部门一线工作人员的实证研究，从基层治理、公共服务、市场监管、应急管理、生态治理等领域，梳理东部发达地区（江浙沪）地方政府治理转型的典型案例，总结发达地区地方政府治理现代化转型的实践经验、特和规律，以期推我国地方政府治理转型的理论发展。本书的特：*，实证性。研究案例源自政府部门一线工作人员的实践经历与归纳总结。第二，新颖性。研究内容突破传统政府的一般职能，立足新时代地方政府治理*紧迫的任务目标，聚焦权力下沉背景下的基层、民生、市场、稳定、生态等内容，针对东部地区近三年的地方政府治理实践，行相关经验总结和问题探讨。第三，应用性。本书在凝练学术界观的基础上，通过引经典案例，按照相关理论脉络，嵌编者的独特观，以期实现案例在其他地方政府治理转型中借鉴或应用。第四，规范性。本书严格按照实证研究的逻辑来每一个模块。本书的阅读对象主要适合高等学校和研究机构中从事公共管理领域研究的师生，以及在公共部门工作的实务界人士。

为进一步增强基层妇联干部对妇联组织及工作职能的了解，给她们提供规范性、制度性指引，提升其履职和服务妇女群众的能力，广东省妇女联合会精心编写了本书。本书内容主要有：习近平总书记关于妇女事业的重要讲话精神、妇女工作基本知识、妇女思想引领、妇女发展的“三个行动”“两个项目”、家庭工作、妇女儿童权益维护、广东省妇女儿童发展领域及主要目标、基层妇联组织建设、推荐学习文献和文件等。本书对基层妇联干部尽快找准工作切入点、结合点、着力点，认真做好妇联工作有极大作用。

经济制裁是当今世界上常用的非战争制裁手段，被广泛应用于解决反恐、核扩散、军事冲突以及其他外交危机问题。但是，经济制裁也引发了关于其有效性、人道主义影响、合法性、道德问题的争论。本书作为美国权威智库彼得·乔治·彼得森国际经济研究所的重要研究成果，对20世纪的大量经济制裁案例行了研究分析，对影响制裁政策的因素行考察，致力于寻找出，在哪些情况下使用经济制裁*有可能推动和促某国实现其对外政策的目标，从而为政策制定者提供指南。本书自1985年首度问世以来，已经有三个版本，得到广泛引用，被誉为“国际经济和国际政治学界探讨经济制裁问题的*权威资料”。
