Comprising essays by Michael W. Doyle, Liberal Peace examines
the special significance of liberalism for international
relations.
The volume begins by outlining the two legacies of liberalism in
international relations - how and why liberal states have
maintained peace among themselves while at the same time being
prone to making war against non-liberal states. Exploring policy
implications, the author focuses on the strategic value of the
inter-liberal democratic community and how it can be protected,
preserved, and enlarged, and whether liberals can go beyond a
separate peace to a more integrated global democracy. Finally, the
volume considers when force should and should not be used to
promote national security and human security across borders, and
argues against President George W. Bush 's policy of
"transformative" interventions. The concluding essay engages with
scholarly critics of the liberal democratic peace.
This book will be of great interest to students of international
relations, foreign policy, political philosophy, and security
studies.

Unbridled passions threatened nineteenth-century America, a
vulnerable young nation already feeling beset by foreigners,
corruption, and disease. Purifying crusaders like Hamilton College
philosophy professor and Presbyterian minister John W. Mears
mobilized to fight every sin and carnal lure, from liquor to free
love. In Upstate New York's famed Oneida Community, Mears
encountered his stiffest challenge. Oneida's founder and patriarch,
John Humphrey Noyes, oversaw a radical Christian commune where men
and women sexually mingled through the practice of ""complex
marriage."" While others struggled to dislodge the community that
had evolved since 1848 into a successful business venture and
congenial neighbor, it was Mears who, after years of trying,
rallied New York's church and university leaders for a final,
concerted anti-Oneida campaign. In The Ministers' War, Doyle traces
the full story of Mears and the crusade against the Oneida
Community. He explores the ways in which Mears's multipurpose zeal
reflected the passions behind the nineteenth-century temperance
movement, the fight against obscenity, and the public animus toward
unconventional thought. As an author, political candidate, and
controversialist, Mears was a prominent moralizer at a time when
public morality seemed to be most at risk.
Long a hub for literary bohemians, countercultural musicians, and
readers interested in a good browse, Kepler's Books and Magazines
is one of the most influential independent bookstores in American
history. When owner Roy Kepler opened the San Francisco Bay Area
store in 1955, he led the way as a pioneer in the ""paperback
revolution."" He popularized the once radical idea of selling
affordable books in an intellectually bracing coffeehouse
atmosphere. Paperback selling was not the only revolution Kepler
supported, however. In Radical Chapters, Doyle sheds light on
Kepler's remarkable contributions to pacifism and social change. He
highlights Kepler's achievements in advocating radical pacifism
during World War II, antinuclear activism during the Cold War era,
and antiwar activism during the Vietnam War. During those decades,
Kepler played an integral role, creating a community and a space to
exchange ideas for such notable figures as Jerry Garcia, Joan Baez,
and Stewart Brand. Doyle's fascinating chronicle captures the man
who inspired that community and offers a moving tribute to his
legacy.

The next major evolution may not be physical; it may not even be
human What if you and a few of your friends were the only people in
the world with strong ESP powers? What if you also knew that
literally overnight and without warning, everyone in the world
would develop marvelous psychic powers? These powers would vary
considerably from person-to-person in types of powers, number of
powers, and amount of power for each type. Almost everyone would
know other peoples' deepest thoughts and memories and many would be
able to kill or destroy with a thought, conscious or unconscious.
No controls, no mitigation, no reprieves Would you try to stop it?
Would you try to help it along? Would you run and hide? Or would
you do something... else?
The Erie Canal was dying. Adirondack sawmills were falling silent.
And in the final years of the nineteenth century, the upstate New
York town of Forestport was struggling just to survive. Then the
canal levees started breaking, and the boom times returned. The
Forestport saloons flourished, the town's gamblers rollicked, and
the politically connected canal contractors were flush once more.
It was all very convenient until Governor Theodore Roosevelt's
administration grew suspicious and the Pinkerton National Detective
Agency began investigating. They found what a lawman called one of
the most gigantic conspiracies ever hatched in New York. In The
Forestport Breaks, Michael Doyle illuminates a fresh and
fascinating chapter in the colorful history of the Erie Canal. This
is the canal's shadowy side, a world of political rot and plotting
men, and it extended well beyond one rough and tumble town. The
Forestport breaks marked the only time New York officials charged
men with conspiring to destroy canal property, but they were also
illustrative of the widespread rascality surrounding the canal. For
Doyle, there is a story with a personal dimension behind the drama
of the canal's historical events. As he uncovered the rise and fall
of Forestport, he was also discovering that the trail of
culpability led to members in his own family tree.
Principled World Politics takes stock of contemporary normative
international relations and aims to chart the future course of the
discipline. The volume brings together the most innovative minds
currently working in the field and presents their ideas of how to
create a more humane world order. Renowned scholars from around the
world explain how to advance the prospects of world peace, economic
well-being, social justice, and humane governance. They further
examine the changing character of normative theory and how it can
more effectively engage contemporary world affairs. As normative IR
enjoys a resurgence of interest, this unique and timely volume is
the first to systematically organize and present contemporary
scholarship and to set out a coherent agenda for the next century.
Animated by a singularly subversive spirit, the fiendishly
intelligent works of Stuart Gordon (1947-2020) are distinguished by
their arrant boldness and scab-picking wit. Provocative gems such
as Re-Animator, From Beyond, Dolls, The Pit and the Pendulum, and
Dagon consolidated his fearsome reputation as one of the masters of
the contemporary horror film, bringing an unfamiliar archness,
political complexity, and critical respect to a genre so often
bereft of these virtues. A versatile filmmaker, one who resolutely
refused to mellow with age, Gordon proved equally adept at crafting
pointed science fiction (Robot Jox, Fortress, Space Truckers),
sweet-tempered fantasy (The Wonderful Ice Cream Suit), and
nihilistic thrillers (King of the Ants, Edmond, Stuck), customarily
scrubbing the sharply drawn lines between exploitation and arthouse
cinema. The first collection of interviews ever to be published on
the director, Stuart Gordon: Interviews contains thirty-six
articles spanning a period of fifty years. Bountiful in anecdote
and information, these candid conversations chronicle the
trajectory of a fascinating career-one that courted controversy
from its very beginning. Among the topics Gordon discusses are his
youth and early influences, his founding of Chicago's legendary
Organic Theatre (where he collaborated with such luminaries as Ray
Bradbury, Kurt Vonnegut, and David Mamet), and his transition into
filmmaking where he created a body of work that injected fresh
blood into several ailing staples of American cinema. He also
reveals details of his working methods, his steadfast relationships
with frequent collaborators, his great love for the works of
Lovecraft and Poe, and how horror stories can masquerade as
sociopolitical commentaries.
Tested on more than 10,000 participants, the Interaction Method of
conducting meetings is proven to increase productivity by up to 15
percent. Demonstrating how time and people can be better used in
meetings, this thorough manual is indispensable for any
organization--from large corporations to the PTA.
Although empires have shaped the political development of virtually
all the states of the modern world, "imperialism" has not figured
largely in the mainstream of scholarly literature. This book seeks
to account for the imperial phenomenon and to establish its
importance as a subject in the study of the theory of world
politics. Michael Doyle believes that empires can best be defined
as relationships of effective political control imposed by some
political societies-those called metropoles-on other political
societies-called peripheries. To build an explanation of the birth,
life, and death of empires, he starts with an overview and critique
of the leading theories of imperialism. Supplementing theoretical
analysis with historical description, he considers episodes from
the life cycles of empires from the classical and modern world,
concentrating on the nineteenth-century scramble for Africa. He
describes in detail the slow entanglement of the peripheral
societies on the Nile and the Niger with metropolitan power, the
survival of independent Ethiopia, Bismarck's manipulation of
imperial diplomacy for European ends, the race for imperial
possession in the 1880s, and the rapid setting of the imperial sun.
Combining a sensitivity to historical detail with a judicious
search for general patterns, Empires will engage the attention of
social scientists in many disciplines.
