Originally published in 1939, this book was intended as a guide to
political theory intelligible to the common reader, with quotations
from the original sources sufficiently extensive to enable them to
sample for themselves the 'taste' and 'colour' of these writings.
This history of theory has been placed against brief descriptions,
as background, of the civilization of the times, as the reader
passes down the avenues of thought from age to age. It is a history
of political thought set against the background of the history of
civilization, but that thought is also displayed in the setting of
the characteristics and biographies of the thinkers, whose minds we
search and whom we seek to know familiarly, however long ago gone
to dust.

Originally published in 1938, this book consists of a group of
papers considering widely different subjects, but all bearing upon
one social problem - the causation and prevention of war. The
authors all occupy the same general political position, they are
democratic socialists and active members of the Labour Party. The
book falls into three rough divisions, although all the papers are
self-contained. The first part of the book is psychological and
attempts to summarise and analyse the non-historical evidence
(ecological, psychological, and anthropological) about the causes
of fighting. The second part is historical. It surveys the
different causes of international war in the nineteenth century and
then discusses the relation between nationalism and capitalism
during the same period. The third part is political and first
considers the relation of the use of force to the preservation of
peace. Then analyses the choices of foreign policy for a pacific
power confronted by the threat of aggressive military dictatorship.
It concludes with a review and assessment of the various available
policies for the prevention of war in general and under the
specific contemporary conditions of the time.

Hope has been called the "life blood of the soul", an indispensable condition for human existence. Yet evidence in this book suggests that hope is neither a necessary nor a universal part of life. Rather, hope is constituted in accordance with cultural norms, and hence it may vary fundamentally from one society to another. In the first of four studies, Averill, Catlin, and Chon delineate four classes of rules that help constitute hope in Western societies. A second study examines the similarities and differences between hope and other, more prototypic emotions, such as anger and love. The third study uses content analyses of maxims and metaphors to clarify further the Western model of hope. In the fourth study, hope is compared with himang, its closest counterpart in Korea. The results of these studies provide the basis for an analysis of the functions of hope, on both the individual and social levels. But this book is not simply about hope. It is also about emotions in general. Current psychological theories focus on emotions that have distinct physiological components (e.g., fear and anger) and that can be investigated using animal models. As a consequence, our theories have a strong biological orientation. How would our theories change if they were to encompass more cognitively oriented emotions, such as hope? Rules of Hope provides some answers to this question.
