Chernus Ira
General Eisenhower Ideology and Discourse Rhetoric and Public Affairs Ser.
East Lansing MI U.S.A.: Michigan State University Press 2002. Book. Like New. Cloth. 8vo - over 7�" - 9�" tall. During the Second World War Dwight D. Eisenhower formulated an ideology that encompassed deeply held ideas about human nature society and political life. From the day the war ended Eisenhower promoted this ideology; he considered the production of words as an end in itself essential to the real business of governing. During his years as Army Chief of Staff president of Columbia University Allied Commander in Europe and candidate for President of the United States Eisenhower continuously emphasised the inspirational value of the spoken word. This book reveals how one man helped construct the sense of national and global insecurity that pervaded American life for decades. 366pp. Michigan State University Press Hardcover

Reeve C. D. C. editor
Women in the Academy : Dialogues on Women Art Justice Freedom and the Forms
Indianapolis IN U.S.A.: Hackett Publishing Company Incorporated 2001. Book. Like New. Cloth. 8vo - over 7�" - 9�" tall. In the early fourth century B.C. Plato founded his famous Athenian school the Academy. Among the students who came to study there were two women Axiothea of Phlius who wore men's clothes and Lasthenia of Mantinea. In five dialogues inspired by those of Plato C. D. C. Reeve imagines these women in conversation with one another with Plato himself and with their fellow Academician Aristotle. The topics they discuss - women art justice freedom and the nature of reality - are all drawn from Plato's Republic. Their lively exchanges which quickly engage the reader are at once an exciting and accessible introduction to some of Republic's central themes and an exploration of some of the most controversial questions we face in trying to make sense of our complexly shared lives. 72pp. Hackett Publishing Company, Incorporated Hardcover
