“权力往往使人腐化，*权力*地使人腐化。”（《自由和权力浅说》）——英国勋爵阿克顿如是说。这段话的意义在于，必须对权力施以必要的监督和约束，使任何权力的行使都能够承担相应的责任。 近年来，党员干部中绝大多数人都能按照党和人民的要求，正确行使手中的权力。然而，其中也存在不少害群之马，他们把人民赋予的权力视为谋取个人私利的砝码，把国家的利益、人民的期望和法律的尊严视为儿戏，严重违背了公职人员的职业道德与职责，违纪、违法乃至犯罪。 新华社记者李松的《从政底线》一书，紧紧围绕*总书记提出的20条铁律，论述了各级党员干部，特别是领导干部，如何把守纪律讲规矩摆在更加重要的位置，做一个守纪律、讲规矩的“明白人”。 这20条铁律，对于党员干部来说，既是“紧箍咒”，更是“护身符”。本书以经典的案例、生动的细节、朴实的语言展多维度的论述，说明遵守铁的纪律是党员干部的政治基因，不仅要内化于心，更要外化于行。要造一支纪律严明、干净务实的党员干部队伍，必须要有铁一般的纪律。 作为一部党员干部的廉政教育读本，本书可读性强、知识性强、富有哲理，不少案例评析更是石成金，给人以启示和警醒。

本书内容包括章 树立坚定的信仰、第二章 坚守对党的忠诚、第三章常存为民的情怀、第四章修养良好的品德等内容。

近日，中共中央印发了《中国共产党问责条例》，并发出通知，要求各地区各部门认真遵照执行。作为我们党制定的又一部重要基础性党?内法规，问责条例规范和强化党的问责工作，一步夯实了全面从严治党的制度基石，向全党释放出有责必问、问责必严的强烈信号，是管党治党的重要利器。 为便于广大党员干部学习贯彻《问责条例》，我们精选新华社、人民日报、中国纪检监察报等中央主流媒体播发的权威解读文章和精彩评论，同时收录《中国共产党廉洁自律准则》《中国共产党纪律处分条例》两部党内重要法规，汇编成册，内容权威，通俗易懂。

“两学一做”学习教育要求广大党员干部做“四讲四有”合格党员：讲政治、有信念；讲规矩、有纪律；讲道德、有品行；讲奉献、有作为。争做“四讲四有”合格党员是全面从严治党的新举措。本书从理论阐释和案例解读两个方面，对全体党员干部做“四讲四有合格”党员行了全面分析，认为做“四讲四有”合格党员是推“两学一做”教育常态化的重要抓手，是把全面从严治党落实到实践的有力举措。

本书共分为十个专题，仅仅围绕当前党风廉政建设和反腐败工作的热问题展，集中阐释了党员干部应该掌握的重要党内法规和相关纪律规矩，包括新出台的中国共产党问责条例、中国共产党纪律处分条例等重要党内法规以及八项规定、主体责任、个人事项报告、干部能上能下等热廉政问题。 全书图文并茂、方便实用、通俗易懂、客观准确、生动形象，可以作为各地区各部门党员干部行廉洁教育的参考读物。

本书全面梳理了毒品在中国发生、发展到泛滥的历史过程。作者运用中外大量的资料，描述了鸦片战争前鸦片在中国的流传及其社会影响，叙述了近代中国毒品侵害的事实与后果，并讨论毒品泛滥的原因，总结新中国初期禁毒成功的历史经验。本书资料丰富，脉络清晰，案例翔实，文字生动；阅读本书将有助于解决当下的毒品问题。

　　中国的迅速崛起震撼了世界，正影响着整个国际格局和秩序的演变，但是读懂中国不易，因为中国太大，情况太复杂，盲人摸象的解读很多，每个人都只看到中国的一部分。要真正读懂中国，我们需要一种对中国的整体把握。 　　“文明型国家”概念的提出即是一种有益的尝试，本书探讨了“文明型国家”的概念、特征、模式、制度和理念等主题，也论述了其他一些相关的问题，如政治话语范式的转变、“西方中心主义”的困境等。 　　“文明型国家”概念解构了西方话语关于中国的主流叙述，它有利于增国人的道路自信和文化自信，有利于促国人和外部世界对中国和中国崛起的全面理解和整体把握，也有利于行跨国的制度比较、评估和预测。

尽管意大利人直担心盟军在法属北非登陆，但德军统帅部对局势判断却屡屡失误，认为盟军不会在的黎波里或西西里岛登陆，更不可能进攻法属北非(这样就会把法国赶到德国的怀抱里)，盟军大批船队不过是要增援并补给马耳他岛。结果，盟军的行动完全出乎德国人的预料，预德国人“甚至连做梦也没想到这点。直到后天，我们还认为他们肯定会穿过(西西里海峡)……后来，他们突然回头驶向北非海岸”。终于看清了盟军的意图，但为时已晚，北非危在旦夕。

英国对“联合国军”遭到的惨败表示大为不满，他们把不满发泄在麦克阿瑟身上，英国国防大臣辛威尔说：“有一段时间，麦克阿瑟似乎是超出了我们在事件开始时所了解的目标，结果我们走近了驻有庞大中国军队的满洲边境。我们知道那里大约有7万军队准备作战，麦克阿瑟将军可能认为他满可以对付他们。但是，那里可能有更多的军队，他的情报弄错了。我们的处境实在可怕，欺骗自己是没有用的。”

The book is not a discussion of measures or of programs. It is an attempt to express the new spirit of our politics and to set forth, in large terms which may stick in the imagination, what it is that must be done if we are to restore our politics to their full spiritual vigor again, and our national life, whether in trade, in industry, or in what concerns us only as families and individuals, to its purity, its self-respect, and its pristine strength and freedom. The New Freedom is only the old revived and clothed in the unconquerable strength of modern America. I have not written a book since the campaign. I did not write this book at all. It is the result of the editorial literary skill of Mr. William Bayard Hale, who has put together here in their right sequences the more suggestive portions of my campaign speeches.And yet it is not a book of campaign speeches. It is a discussion of a number of very vital subjects in the free form of extemporaneously spoken words. I have left the sentences in the form in which they were stenographically reported. I have not tried to alter the easy-going and often colloquial phraseology in which they were uttered from the platform, in the hope that they would seem the more fresh and spontaneous because of their very lack of pruning and recasting. They have been suffered to run their unpremeditated course even at the cost of such repetition and redundancy as the ex-temporaneous speaker apparently inevitably falls into. WOODROW WILSON. ABOUT WOLSON: Thomas Woodrow Wilson, known as Woodrow Wil-son (1856 –1924), was an American politician and academic who served as the 28th President of the United States from 1913 to 1921. Born in Staunton, Virginia, he spent his early years in Augusta, Georgia and Columbia, South Carolina. Wilson earned a PhD in political science at Johns Hopkins University, and served as a professor and scholar at various institutions before being chosen as President of Princeton University, a position he held from 1902 to 1910. In the election of 1910, he was the gubernatorial candidate of New Jersey's Democratic Party, and was elected the 34th Governor of New Jersey, serving from 1911 to 1913. Running for president in 1912, Wilson benefited from a split in the Republican Party, which enabled his plurality of just over forty percent to win him a large electoral college margin. He was the first Southerner elected as president since 1848, and Wilson was a lea-ding force in theProgressive Movement, bolstered by his Democratic Party's winning control of both the White House and Congress in 1912. In office, Wilson reintroduced the spoken State of the Union, which had been out of use since 1801. Leading the Congress, now in Democratic hands, he oversaw the passage of progressive legislative policies unparalleled until the New Deal in 1933. Included among these were the Federal Reserve Act, Federal Trade Commission Act, the Clayton Antitrust Act, and the Federal Farm Loan Act. Having taken office one month after ratification of the Sixteenth Amendment, Wilson called a special session of Congress, whose work culminated in theRevenue Act of 1913, reintroducing an income tax and lowering tariffs. Through passage of the Adamson Act, imposing an 8-hour workday for railroads, he averted a railroad strike and an ensuing economic crisis. Upon the outbreak of World War I in 1914, Wilson maintained a policy of neutrality, while pursuing a more aggressive policy in dealing with Mexico's civil war. ***

Cu o precizie remarcabil?, George Friedman a prognozat tendin?e viitoare ?n politica, tehnologia, cultura ?i demografia global?. ?n Puncte de presiune, Friedman se concentreaz? asupra Europei – centrul cultural ?i de putere al lumii ?n ultimele cinci secole... p?n? acum. Analiz?nd cele mai instabile, imprevizibile ?i fascinante linii de grani?? ale Europei ?i Rusiei – ?i liniile de falie care au existat vreme de secole ?i care au fost motivul a numeroase r?zboaie catastrofale – Friedman scoate ?n eviden??, ?ntr-o modalitate inedit?, punctele de presiune care au ?nceput din nou s? cedeze. Uniunea European? de ast?zi a fost construit? ?n mare parte pentru a reduce la minimum tensiunile geopolitice care au sf??iat continentul de-a lungul istoriei. Dup? cum demonstreaz?

Din paginile scrise de Friedman se desprinde o imagine clar? a regiunilor ?i ??rilor, iar istoria ?ncepe s? se contureze precis. Puncte de presiune este o analiz? cuprinz?toare a Europei moderne, a trecutului s?u remarcabil ?i a faliilor care s-au trezit la via?? ?i care vor fi fundamentale ?n viitorul apropiat.

This is a complete facsimile of the original edition published by the Interborough Rapid Transit Company to commemorate the opening of New York's first subway line. From the perspective of both urban history and the history of transportation, this book is an important primary source. Building the city's first subway in the early years of the twentieth century required delicate collaboration between public and private interests and called for the expenditure of considerable sums of both public and private money. The book introduces us to Abram S. Hewitt, a late nineteenth-century mayor of New York City. It was Hewitt who realized that, while private capital alone had been perfectly adequate for building elevated rapid transit lines in New York as early as the 1870s, the more costly construction of underground rapid transit lines was far beyond the ability of private corporations to finance. Hewitt set in motion a chain of events that sanctioned the use of public funds for subway construction, with the completed facility then to be leased to a private company for day-to-day operation. The private firm that emerged, both to build and to operate the first subway in New York, was called the Interborough Rapid Transit Company, a name that would later be rendered more crisply as the IRT. The City of New York and the Interborough Rapid transit Company inaugurated service over the city's first subway line on Thursday afternoon, October 27, 1904. Mayor George B. McClellan, son of the Civil War general, took the controls of the first ceremonial train at City Hall Station in downtown Manhattan and headed north. In one way or another, the subway has been going ever since. The book also presents important tabular and statistical information, as well as clear and concise narrative descriptions of technical details.

Dbbenetes és elspr" Elton JohnA drogellenes háború dbbenetes trténetének els elbeszélése. Bátor nemzetkzi tudósítás, melyben az írót személyes érintettség vezérelte a kábítószerfüggség témájában.2015-ben már pontosan egy évszázada lesz, hogy az Egyesült llamok hadat üzent a kábítószernek. De nincs okunk gyzelmi táncot lejteni. A drogellenes háború centenáriumi évében Johann Hari újságíró a saját szemével látja, miként züllik el egyik kzeli rokona, valamint volt barátja is a kokain és a heroin miatt és talán maga is a drogfüggség felé sodródik. De milyen is valójában a drogellenes háború Mi Hari szerepe, és melyik trténetben A merész tudósító egy két éven át tartó, húszezer mérfldes útra indult ennek a harcnak a frontvonalán, hogy kiderítse, mit jelent a drogellenes háború világszerte, és hogyan léphetnénk túl rajta.A kábulat ára drámai, személyes trténetekre épül. Hari saját trténetére, és azokéra, akikkel kutatómunkája és interjúi során megismerkedik: egy transzszexuális brooklyni kokaindíler, aki tudni akarja, ki lte meg az anyját, és egy mexikói anya, aki éveken át kereste a sivatagban a lánya gyilkosát. Egy gyerek, akit a holokauszt idején egy budapesti gettóból csempésztek ki, és aki segített feltárni a függség tudományos magyarázatát. Uruguay elnke, aki éveket tlttt katonai brtnben, és aki legalizálta a marihuánát, hogy megpróbáljon gátat szabni az országában dúló erszaknak.A kábulat ára erteljes, lendületes és meggyz knyv, mely képet ad arról, mennyire pusztítóak a drogok is, és a kormányok drogellenes erfeszítései is. Egy emberibb jvt mer álmodni.Johann Hari írt tbbek kztt a New York Times, az LA Times, a Guardian, a Le Monde, a Slate, a New Republic és a Nation lapokban. Kilenc éven át volt az Independent rovatvezetje, és kétszer nyerte el az Amnesty International UK Az év újságírója címét. Az Editorial Intelligence- tl Az év kulturális kommentátora, a Stonewall-tól pedig Az év meleg újságírója díjat is megkapta. A kábulat ára az els knyve.
