Are conservative policies the best way to achieve liberal ideals? Former Bush Administration official (and former liberal) David B. Cohen answers that provocative question in the affirmative in a thought-provoking book that is certain to spark debate. "Left-Hearted, Right-Minded" arrives just in time for the 2012 Presidential election season. And while the book is a great guide to help voters of all political persuasions think about the great issues that will be debated during the campaign, its relevance will last years into the future.

The book starts out as a political memoir with two protagonists: Liberal Dave, the person that the author was in his youth, and ConservaDave, the person the author ultimately became. Liberal Dave was a typical American kid--if by "typical" you mean a Jewish Samoan being raised by a single mother in an extended working class family.

The author takes us on an often amusing journey in which Liberal Dave, a staunch progressive with little tolerance for conservatives, eventually becomes a conservative himself--without abandoning the concerns and ideals he held as a liberal. We even get to listen in on an extended and sometimes heated debate between Liberal Dave and ConservaDave on a wide range of issues, including capitalism, Occupy Wall Street, Steve Jobs, taxing the rich, and much more.

The book then moves into an issue-by-issue demonstration of its central thesis: that conservative policies are indeed the best way to achieve liberal ideals. With chapters on education, health care, immigration, the environment, and foreign policy, Cohen outlines how conservative policies are the best way to protect the vulnerable, the disadvantaged, the oppressed--and the rest of us as well. In so doing, Cohen fleshes out a hopeful, youthful, idealistic and optimistic brand of conservatism that can appeal to open-minded people from all parts of the political spectrum.

"Left-Hearted, Right-Minded" has something for people of all political stripes:

"For conservatives, " the book demonstrates how to effectively communicate their ideas to those who do not yet share their beliefs--how to preach to the persuadable, and not just to the converted. More importantly, the book is a celebration of the idealism of conservatism--an idealism that the mainstream media and the purveyors of our popular culture seem oblivious to.

"For independents, " the book explains conservative principles in a way that they are most likely to respond to--free from the anger that sometimes creeps into books that conservatives write for other conservatives (or liberals write for other liberals).

"For liberals, " the book's civil yet passionate tone is an invitation to a respectful and rational dialogue on the most important issues of our time.

"I'm not trying to argue with liberals, who are well represented among my dear friends and family," said Cohen. "I'm trying to start a conversation. In the book, I try to support conservative policy positions using arguments that would have resonated with me when I was a liberal. I'm interested to see if these arguments resonate with today's liberals. We're about to make choices that will determine the course of our nation's history in ways that may be virtually unalterable. It is essential that we have this conversation."

Almost everyone has been touched by at least a mild form of depression, and thus has some sense of what severe depressive illness must be like. In addition to the most serious clinical cases which can lead to institutionalization or even suicide, this book explores the "normal" depression we all experience the inevitable blues that accompany troubled personal relationships, career setbacks, or the death of a loved one. It provides a compelling treatment of questions about the nature of depression, where it comes from, who's at risk, and what it indicates about human experience. Depression is a highly prevalent health problem, affecting about 11 million Americans every year. Its costs are staggering - $43.7 billion annually in lost productivity, lost income, and increased health care costs. These numbers put depression on a par with heart disease as one of the most expensive diseases in the United States today. But, unlike heart disease, depression is widely misunderstood. About two-thirds of the cases of depression go undiagnosed and untreated. With a compelling mix of information, illustration, and interpretation, David B. Cohen explores the current state of knowledge about depression, including the powerful influence of genetics. In addition to depressive illness, the book deals with related ideas and topics such as mourning, mania, the rhythms of sleep, self concepts, and suicide. Insights from psychology and psychiatry are blended with history, literature, current events, and personal observation, and topped off with a dose of common sense."

Continuing a three-decade tradition, The State of the Parties 7th edition brings together leading experts to evaluate change and continuity in American electoral politics. Political parties in America have never been more contentious and divided than they are right now. Even splits within the parties themselves have the power to elevate relatively unknown candidates to power and topple established incumbents. With sections devoted to polarization and the electorate, polarization and political elites, tea party politics, super PACS, and partisan resources and partisan activities, the contributors survey the American political landscape. They pay special attention to polarization between and within the parties in the aftermath of the 2012 election, demographic changes to America's political parties, the effects of new media and campaign finance laws on national and local electoral results, the Tea Party's rise and, as always, the implications of all these factors on future policymaking and electoral prospects. The State of the Parties 7th edition offers an indispensable guide to American politics for scholars, students, and practitioners. Contributions by: Alan Abramowitz, Paul A.

The resolution of the 2000 presidential election by the U.S. Supreme Court's Bush v. Gore decision generated an extraordinary outpouring of literature in a very short period of time. Now that the initial furor over the decision has subsided, The Final Arbiter presents a sober consideration of the consequences of the decision for the law, the presidency, and the legitimacy of the American political system. The contributors include well established names in law and political science, as well as up-and-coming scholars, offering a broad understanding of Bush v. Gore's long-term impact. This book will be useful as a classroom text in both survey courses on elections and the courts and for advanced courses that consider the impact of judicial rulings on the government and political process.
