This volume reports a research that represents some of the
collaborative efforts aimed at investigating political attitudes
and behaviors in the broader Soviet society, examining the public
opinion constraints on efforts to transform the new organizations
into a competitive political party system.
This volume explores a central political paradox: why American
scholars, journalists, and citizens periodically question the
viability of their presidential electoral system and yet believe
that presidential elections are our best hope for tomorrow. The
book argues that the key to understanding this paradox lies in the
concept of "self-image," exploring relationships between campaign
activities and political culture. After presenting an introduction
to the history of presidential campaigning and a theory of
political image, the book arranges essays in three parts: images
centered on candidates, mass media, and the public. A final essay
assesses explanations of the contrasts between the 1988 and
1992elections and suggests tomorrow's research agenda.
Classic Country Estates of Lake Forest is the first systematic
study of this richly textured built environment. Beginning with
suburban villas in the manner of Andrew Jackson Downing, Lake
Forest was transformed by the work of Henry Ives Cobb, Howard Van
Doren Shaw, David Adler, Harrie T. Lindeberg, Charles A. Platt,
Holabird & Roche, Delano & Aldrich, Arthur Heun, and
others. It was also distinguished by a tradition of innovation in
landscape design, from the original Romantic picturesque town plan
of 1857 to the later estate work of O. C. Simonds, the Olmsteds,
Warren Manning, Rose Standish Nichols, and Jens Jensen.
Architectural renderings, landscape plans, drawings, and period
photographs of architecture and gardens, many of them not
previously published, illustrate the work of these masters.
