简介："Comrades is a celebration of male friendships. Historian Stephen Ambrose begins his examination with a glance inward - he starts this book with his brothers, his first and forever friends, and the shared experiences that join them for a lifetime, overcoming distance and misunderstandings. He next writes of Dwight D. Eisenhower,who had a golden gift for friendship and who shared a perfect trust with his younger brother Milton in spite of their apparently unequal stations. With great emotion, Ambrose describes the relationships of the young soldiers of Easy Company who fought and died together from Normandyto Germany, and he recalls with admiration three unlikely friends who fought in different armies in that war. He recounts the friendships of Lewis and Clark and of Crazy Horse and He Dog, and he tells the story of the Custer brothers who died together at the Little Big Horn. Ambroseremembers and celebrates the friends he has made and kept throughout his life."--BOOK JACKET

简介： The prevailing notion that the best government is achieved through principles of management and business practices is hardly new -- it echoes the early twentieth-century "gospel of efficiency" challenged by Dwight Waldo in 1948 in his pathbreaking book, The Administrative State. Asking, "Efficiency for what?", Waldo warned that public administrative efficiency must be backed by a framework of consciously held democratic values. Revisiting Waldo's Administrative Statebrings together a group of distinguished authors who critically explore public administration's big ideas and issues and question whether contemporary efforts to "reinvent government," promote privatization, and develop new public management approaches constitute a coherent political theory capable of meeting the complex challenges of governing in a democracy. Taking Waldo's book as a starting point, the authors revisit and update his key concepts and consider their applicability for today. The book follows Waldo's conceptual structure, first probing the material and ideological background of modern public administration, problems of political philosophy, and finally particular challenges inherent in contemporary administrative reform. It concludes with a look ahead to "wicked" policy problems -- such as terrorism, global warming, and ecological threats -- whose scope is so global and complex that they will defy any existing administrative structures and values. Calling for a return to conscious consideration of democratic accountability, fairness, justice, and transparency in government, the book's conclusion assesses the future direction of public administrative thought. This book can stand alone as a commentary on reconciling democratic values and governance today or as a companion when reading Waldo's classic volume.

简介：Summary: Publisher Summary 1 Examining the writings, speeches, and congressional testimony of economist Walt Whitman Rostow, Pearce (English, St. Anselm College) explores the ability of Rostow to push his economic theories of foreign aid into the mainstream policy choices of the Eisenhower, Kennedy, and Johnson administrations. Rostow's alternative to Marx's theory of historical materialism, modeled on five stages of growth that inevitably leads to capitalist democracy, was quickly accepted by many policy elites. Pearce explores how Rostow's ideas were integrated into Kennedy's Latin American initiative, the Alliance for Progress, and other foreign aid programs. The major focus on the book is an examination of what rhetorical tools were used by Rostow to convince policy makers of the soundness of his ideas. The idea that Rostow's rhetoric already fit into the ideological suppositions of elite policy makers (as Milton Friedman's would in the next couple of decades) seems not to have occurred to Pearce. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)   Publisher Summary 2 Rostow, Kennedy, and the Rhetoric of Foreign Aid is the first comprehensive, critical analysis of the influence of economic historian Walt Whitman Rostow's theory of the "stages of economic growth" on U.S. foreign aid policy during the 1950s and 1960s. Kimber Charles Pearce analyzes Rostow's rhetorical approaches to producing and promoting his modernization theory to U.S. policymakers during the Cold War, as a template for development aid programs designed to contain Soviet expansionism around the world. Drawing upon Rostow's writings, public speeches, congressional testimony, personal interviews, and recently declassified documents, Pearce examines the economist's protracted campaign to convince policy makers to apply his theory of economic growth to the development aid initiatives of Presidents Dwight D. Eisenhower, John F. Kennedy, and Lyndon B. Johnson. The analysis culminates in a case study of Rostow's influence on the planning, advocacy, and implementation of President Kennedy's Alliance for Progress to develop Latin America. 聽聽聽聽 Pearce demonstrates how Rostow's dual role as a leading architect of U.S. development aid programs and U.S. military escalation in South Vietnam made him a key figure, both in the history of developmental economic theory and in U.S. diplomacy during the Cold War. He argues that Rostow's role in economic diplomacy epitomized the social scientific turn toward argumentation and advocacy that occurred in the United States after World War II. Using methods of rhetorical analysis, Pearce offers new insights into how Rostovian theory was translated into political language by members of the Eisenhower, Kennedy, and Johnson administrations, and how Rostow's themes of nation-building, fiscal interdependency, and macro-management of the global economy have become commonplaces of post-Cold War policy discourse. By illuminating relations of social scientific research, foreign policy advocacy, and political power in the context of U.S. economic diplomacy during the Cold War, Rostow, Kennedy, and the Rhetoric of Foreign Aid makes a significant contribution to the study of the rhetoric of economics and American diplomatic history.   Publisher Summary 3 Rostow, Kennedy, and the Rhetoric of Foreign Aid is the first comprehensive, critical analysis of the influence of economic historian Walt Whitman Rostow's theory of the "stages of economic growth" on U.S. foreign aid policy during the 1950s and 1960s.

简介：     In the sobering aftermath of America's invasion of Iraq, Eugene Jarecki, the creator of the award-winning documentary Why We Fight, launches a penetrating and revelatory inquiry into how forces within the American political, economic, and military systems have come to undermine the carefully crafted structure of our republic -- upsetting its balance of powers, vastly strengthening the hand of the president in taking the nation to war, and imperiling the workings of American democracy. This is a story not of simple corruption but of the unexpected origins of a more subtle and, in many ways, more worrisome disfiguring of our political system and society.     While in no way absolving George W. Bush and his inner circle of their accountability for misguiding the country into a disastrous war -- in fact, Jarecki sheds new light on the deepest underpinnings of how and why they did so -- he reveals that the forty-third president's predisposition toward war and Congress's acquiescence to his wishes must be understood as part of a longer story. This corrupting of our system was predicted by some of America's leading military and political minds.          In his now legendary 1961 farewell address, President Dwight D. Eisenhower warned of "the disastrous rise of misplaced power" that could result from the increasing influence of what he called the "military industrial complex." Nearly two centuries earlier, another general turned president, George Washington, had warned that "overgrown military establishments" were antithetical to republican liberties. Today, with an exploding defense budget, millions of Americans employed in the defense sector, and more than eight hundred U.S. military bases in 130 countries, the worst fears of Washington and Eisenhower have come to pass.          Surveying a scorched landscape of America's military adventures and misadventures, Jarecki's groundbreaking account includes interviews with a who's who of leading figures in the Bush administration, Congress, the military, academia, and the defense industry, including Republican presidential nominee John McCain, Colin Powell's former chief of staff Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson, and longtime Pentagon reformer Franklin "Chuck" Spinney. Their insights expose the deepest roots of American war making, revealing how the "Arsenal of Democracy" that crucially secured American victory in WWII also unleashed the tangled web of corruption America now faces. From the republic's earliest episodes of war to the use of the atom bomb against Japan to the passage of the 1947 National Security Act to the Cold War's creation of an elaborate system of military-industrial-congressional collusion, American democracy has drifted perilously from the intent of its founders. As Jarecki powerfully argues, only concerted action by the American people can, and must, compel the nation back on course.          The American Way of Waris a deeply thoughtprovoking study of how America reached a historic crossroads and of how recent excesses of militarism and executive power may provide an opening for the redirection of national priorities.

出版社：启示出版,2004

简介：　　 　　你聽過她的名字，但是知道她是誰嗎？本書一一解釋貞女生子、無染原罪、終身童真、天主之母、聖母顯現，為你解開基督宗教最難解的謎團 瑪利亞根據聖經記載，是耶穌的母親，但是基督宗教兩千年來對於瑪利亞到底是怎樣一個人，卻是所有聖經記載人物中最爭議、最混亂的一位。在基督宗教各個教會當中，天主教會（以及東正教會）擁抱瑪利亞，基督新教徒則刻意和瑪利亞保持距離，刻意冷淡。如果在一個包含基督宗教各種教派聚會的場合提起瑪利亞，絕對可以挑動最敏感的神經。 瑪利亞讓人困惑，但是就信仰的層面，瑪利亞絕對不是以一句話「耶穌的母親」一句話帶過即可。幾乎可以這樣說，不解決該把瑪利亞擺在什麼樣的位置，無法確立對基督的信仰，因為基督信仰就建立在天主派遣他的兒子降生成人，生於一位童貞女。 新教徒攻擊天主教徒敬禮聖母，攻擊天主教教會對於聖母的教義。天主教會相信瑪利亞終身童貞，相信瑪利亞無染原罪，相信瑪利亞被天主接到天堂（被接升天），新教徒則否。天主教徒敬禮瑪利亞，被基督教（新教）視為迷信、喧賓奪主，甚至被視為從異教接枝的異端女神崇拜，被用來印證天主教的教義是「必須被更正的謬誤」，作為基督新教的存在理由。 儘管宗教改革迄今已經五百年，當天主教徒和新教徒談論瑪利亞，鮮少能心平氣和，因此即便是在基督教和天主教的和好運動中，瑪利亞仍然是個難題，因此這本書是空前的作品，是透過嚴謹的神學和聖經知識，以兄弟之愛、各自客觀表述立場的態度，進行相互說服與相互拉近距離的對話。 這本書的初衷應該是寫給基督徒看的，但是，對於一個想要了解瑪利亞到底是誰的一般讀者而言，這本書無疑是「釋疑」的佳作。因為以瑪利亞在基督宗教歷史的角色來說，絕非三言兩語能夠打發，其內涵涉及神學與信仰的深究。如果一般讀者光從天主教或是基督教的角度去看瑪利亞，看到的肯定不是這個爭議的全貌。因此，這本由天主教徒和基督教徒合寫的書可以提供一個願意探索答案的讀者非常好的選擇。

These ideas are as relevant to public budgeting as they are to performance measurement or human resource management. Collectively and individually the essays explore what Dwight Waldo referred to as the “political theories” of public administration: issues that are ultimately unresolvable yet crucial to understanding the nature of public administrative practice. How can democracy and efficiency be balanced? Can there be a science of administration? How should we think about administrative accountability? What is the nature of the relationship between citizen and state? Is professionalism an adequate mechanism for ensuring accountability? How efficient can or should bureaucracy be? What is proper leadership by administrators hoping to address political democracy and managerial efficiency? This ASPA Classics Volumes serves to connect the practice of public policy and administration with the normative theory base that has accrued and the models for practice that may be deduced from this theory.

简介：McGill University history professor Troy offers an original, fascinating and admirably focused account of American presidential campaigns from George Washington to George Bush. The author sees the evolution of campaigns as an attempt to balance the contradictions of republican and democratic principles inherent in our government since the nation was founded: The president was to be both king and prime minister, a national figurehead and the people's representative.'' Up to and including the candidacy of Andrew Jackson--whose election is said to have signaled the triumph of popular democracy--candidates stood'' for rather than ran'' for office. In 1880 James Garfield's single brief trip from his native Ohio to New York introduced stumping,'' which figured prominently in William Jennings Bryant's 1896 campaign. In Troy's view, Theodore Roosevelt was first to manipulate the press; Franklin Roosevelt used the radio to greatest advantage; and Dwight Eisenhower's aides made TV a potent weapon. Troy does not adopt the common view that the presidential election process has degenerated; instead he sees merely a shift in emphasis.
