Paperback. Condition: Very Good. While demagoguery is traditionally regarded as destabilizing and dangerous, this book shows how it can also be used to advance the common good. Most of us think that demagoguery is, by definition, bad. Relatedly, scholars almost invariably treat demagoguery as a divisive practice that appeals to what is worst in an audience at the expense of what is best for the public good. In Demagogues in American Politics, Charles U. Zug offers a historical analysis of the role of demagoguery in the American political system. Challenging the conventional wisdom, he argues that demagoguery is not an inherently bad form of leadership. Whereas classical thinkers had believed that demagoguery was always a threat to political order, the most sophisticated founders of the American Constitution-inspired by Enlightenment political philosophy-recognized that demagoguery, though dangerous, could be recruited by the Constitution to improve the political system. Through case studies drawn from the presidency, Congress, and the Supreme Court, this book argues that demagogic leadership can be deployed by public officials to advance the aspirations of constitutional democracy.…

Soft cover. Condition: Near Fine. No Jacket. 1st Edition. TURNERS AND BURNERS: THE FOLK POTTERS OF NORTH CAROLINA, Charles G.

The text block and illustrations are in fine condition, with no tears, dog ears, or marks. No bookplate or signature of a prior owner. Not a library book or remainder. The wraps are in very good condition. 10 x 8 ¼, 450 pages, 50 ounces XX [From the back cover] This richly illustrated portrait of North Carolina's pottery traditions tells the story of the generations of turners and burners whose creations are much admired for their strength and beauty. The first comprehensive ceramic history for the state, this book examines the largely vanished world of folk potters and the continuing achievements of their descendants. Because few written records exist, Terry Zug conducted most of his research in the field. He systematically photographed and cataloged old pots, located early shop sites, and carefully recorded the remaining waster dumps of broken shards and the decaying equipment. His primary source, however, was the potters themselves. Their tape-recorded interviews provide an insider's view of their world and reveal the powerful underlying logic and autonomy of their craft. Winner of the Mayflower Cup for Nonfiction, Society of Mayflower Descendants in the State of North Carolina, and the President's Award, North Carolina Society of Historians XX Charles G. (Terry) Zug Ill is professor of folklore and English at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He is author of FIVE NORTH CAROLINA FOLK ARTISTS and THE TRADITIONAL POTTERY OF NORTH CAROLINA and coeditor of ARTS IN EARNEST: NORTH CAROLINA FOLKLIFE. XX The best book I have ever read on folk pottery (Warren E. Roberts, Journal of Folklore Research). XX TURNERS AND BURNERS makes an enormous contribution to the study of North Carolina folklife. It should be equally at home in an academic's library, on a living-room coffee table, or on a collector's or potter's bookshelf. North Carolinians, rejoice!" (North Carolina Folklore Journal) XX This is an excellent book to read if you are interested in North Carolina, American ceramics, folk life, or general craft practices, and it will undoubtedly remain a classic for many years to come (Winterthur Portfolio). XX TURNERS AND BURNERS brings the simple utilitarian wares of North Carolina into meaningful historical and cultural context (Journal of American Folklore, The University of North Carolina Press).…

Paperback. Condition: New. President Dwight D. Eisenhower is remembered by many as the originator of the American Interstate Highway System. He is also praised for restraining executive overreach, restoring the separation of powers, and presiding over an era of governmental equanimity and goodwill.In Dwight D. Eisenhower and the Federal Highway Act, Charles Zug contests all these assumptions. Through archival research, Zug shows that Eisenhower's attempt to lead highway expansion during 1952-1955 ended in dismal failure. Far from championing the separation of powers, Eisenhower sought to marginalize Congress from the legislative process by secretly writing a transformative highway bill within the confines of his White House. And once it was announced, Eisenhower's highway plan was almost universally panned: Ike's own comptroller general deemed the plan's funding mechanism "illegal" before a bipartisan majority laughed it out of the Senate in the spring of 1955. The highway bill that did eventually pass Congress in 1956, and that went on to launch the modern interstate system, was written by congressional Democrats and emphatically rejected Eisenhower's basic approach to highway reform.Drawing on executive politics, American political development, and leadership studies, Zug uses the Federal Highway Act to argue for a foundational reassessment of Eisenhower's legacy as highway founder, president, and political leader.…
