| Published Price £11.99 | Sale Price £2.99 | |||
| A Canadian writer, born in Belfast, Derek Lundy examines the lives of three of his Irish ancestors from very different periods in order to understand how inherited memory and the selective plundering of history have affected the perception of truth in Northern Ireland since the 17th century. He ably demonstrates how partisan perspectives have contributed to perpetuation of the sectarian divide from which the community has suffered for so long. | ||||

Scandal | |||
| The Sexual Politics of the British Constitution | Politics, Philosophy & Economics | |||
| Anna Clark | ||||
| Princeton University Press 2004 314 pages | ||||
| Hardback Illustrated 069111501X | ||||
| Published Price £29.95 | Sale Price £9.99 | |||
| Looking at six major British scandals from between 1763 and 1820, involving figures such as John Wilkes, the Duchess of Devonshire and Charles James Fox, Edmund Burke, Mary Wollstonecraft and Hannah More, Mary Anne Clarke and Queen Caroline, Anna Clark argues that scandals brought people into politics because they evoked familiar stories of sex and betrayal. She explains how activists used these stories to illustrate constitutional issues concerning the Crown, Parliament and public opinion. | ||||

Liberals and Cannibals | |||
| The Implications of Diversity | Politics, Philosophy & Economics | |||
| Steven Lukes | ||||
| Verso 2003 182 pages | ||||
| Hardback 1859845959 | ||||
| Published Price £16.00 | Sale Price £4.99 | |||
| Taking as his starting point Robert Frost's accusation that a liberal is someone who can't take his own side in an argument, Steven Lukes confronts liberal thought with its own limitations. The essays in this collection focus on the perennial questions of how the tension between relativism and the moral universalism current in contemporary politics can be resolved within the framework of liberalism. Among the essay topics are the thought of Isaiah Berlin, Hayek and social justice, the politics of identity, and human rights. | ||||

Authority and the Liberal Tradition | |||
| From Hobbes to Rorty | Politics, Philosophy & Economics | |||
| Robert Heineman | ||||
| Transaction 1994 234 pages | ||||
| Paperback 1560007141 | ||||
| Published Price £16.95 | Sale Price £8.99 | |||
| Originally published in 1984 and revised and extended for this second edition, Heinemann's book critically describes the historical foundation of modern liberalism, implicitly analysing the status and effectiveness of American democracy. Heinemann examines contemporary liberal ideology, which he argues undermines the normative basis of social stability that was an important element in the classical liberal tradition; and he shows how American government has become hostage to ideology and to the advocacy of interest-group politics. | ||||

The Royal Law | |||
| Source of Our Freedom Today | Politics, Philosophy & Economics | |||
| LL Blake | ||||
| Shepheard-Walwyn 2000 120 pages | ||||
| Hardback 0856831913 | ||||
| Published Price £12.95 | Sale Price £3.99 | |||
| This essay on government takes its title from the words accompanying the presentation of the Bible during the coronation service: 'Here is Wisdom; This is the royal Law; These are the lively Oracles of God'. Blake argues that behind the changeable government of party political strife there is a government of greater purpose and permanence consisting of institutions, mostly of medieval origin: the monarchy, parliament, common law, the jury system, church, universities and the armed forces. The Form and Order of Queen Elizabeth II's Coronation is given in an appendix. | ||||
