Politics in the Trenches: Citizens, Politicians, and the Fate of Democracy (buecher.de - (Teil2)) | | Produktbeschreibung (22400253): Ask most Americans what they think of politics and you´ll likely get an earful. With suspicion and distrust of public servants running high, many citizens seem dispirited by the very process that has made the United States a showcase for democracy. Now ask Tom Volgy. This former mayor of a major western city, who is also a political scientist, contends that most elected officials are the very opposite of what the public thinks: honest, hardworking people whose real work goes unnoticed by most of their constituents the and the media. Volgy has interviewed more than 300 elected officials -- mayors, city council members, legislators -- from all over the United States to offer a decidedly contrarian view of politics. He explores the lives and working conditions of elected officials at the local level -- the area of democracy closest to the public -- to show that officeholders are for the most part average citizens, not the slick lawyers or political pros we usually imagine them to be. In Politics in the Trenches, Volgy shows what really happens behind the scenes of government. He contrasts perception with reality regarding the rewards and perks of office. He examines the process of experimentation in the political laboratory and shows how the news media distort it. He provides a case study of homelessness to illustrate the system´s constraints and limitations. And he offers a chapter on a typical week in office that will be an eye-opener for most readers. Although admittedly there are many flaws in the democratic political process, observes Volgy, all are correctable as long as citizens believe in the essential worth of the system itself. His book offers a fresh perspective ondemocratic governance and tackles tough issues such as campaign finance reform, urging citizens to understand the process before they condemn its players out of hand. More than that, this is a call to action, warning us that we could lose true democracy if we don´t get involved. | | >>> Jetzt bei buecher.de - (Teil2) ansehen oder für EUR 18.95 bestellen! |

| Produktbeschreibung (21393953): RECIPE FOR MURDER
As Minnesota housewives race to meet the deadline for the ´´Times Register´s meat loaf contest, an unsavory small-towner named Kirby Runbeck is blown to smithereens by a car bomb.
Days later, the town´s former mayor, John Washburn, near death from a stroke, confesses to the killing. His wife and two children vehemently deny it, but when Sophie Greenway, food maven and friend of the family, happens upon an old snapshot, a bundle of letters, and a tattoo of a red-eyed snake, she wonders about Washburn´s innocence.

| | Produktbeschreibung (21083009): Set in the union halls, taverns, and half built skyscrapers of midtown Manhattan and in the gritty uptown neighborhood of Inwood, The Rackets depicts every shade of New York Irish - as well as Italian mobsters, Russian killers, and a gun-running Gulf War veteran on disability. Our hero is Jimmy Dolan, who, after putting himself through college by working as a day laborer, goes to work for a smug Republican mayor. When he tries to settle an old dispute with his fists at a Gracie Mansion breakfast meeting, he finds himself out of a job - and sought out by Frankie Keefe, the corrupt union boss he knocked to the carpet. Jimmy´s father Mike, a saintly widower, is running for president of the construction worker´s union, but when he is brutally murdered, Jimmy has to decide whether to risk his life - and that of his girlfriend Tara, a bold New York City policewoman - in order to defend his father´s honor and the interests of the rank and file. | | >>> Jetzt bei buecher.de - (Teil2) ansehen oder für EUR 28.59 bestellen! |
