The revised second edition of this text sets out the main contending theories of justice as exemplified in the works of a range of major theorists. Eight major theories of justice based on the work of Nozick, Dworkin, Rawls, Posner, Marx, Young and Habermas are each introduced in their own terms and assessed in accordance with their ability to generate clear, consistent and illuminating accounts of justice as a distinctive social, political and legal value.

Separation of Powers in Practice

Each branch of American government possesses inherent advantages and disadvantages in structure. In this book, the author relies on a separation-of-powers analysis that emphasizes the advantage of the legislature to draft precise words to fit intended situations, the judiciary’s advantage of being able to do justice in an individual case, and the executive’s homogeneity and flexibility, which best suits it to decisions of an ad hoc nature. Identifying these structural abilities, the author analyzes major public policy issues, including gun control, flag burning, abortion, civil rights, war powers, suing the President, legislative veto, the exclusionary rule, and affirmative action. Each issue is examined not from the point of view of determining the right outcome, but with the intention of identifying the branch of government most appropriate for making the decision.

Celtic's Paranoia - All in the Mind?

Fort Publishing Ltd

A new, third edition of the football classic. Campbell brings the story right up to date with compelling new material on the abuse suffered by manager Neil Lennon and former player Aiden McGeady. All of the subjects that made the original so fascinating are still the deep hostility in Scottish society to all things Celtic; the forced closure of Celtic Park . . . after trouble at Ibrox; the Cox-Tully affair and the birth of Celtic's paranoia; the Eire flag debacle, which nearly led to Celtic being expelled from Scottish football; the leaning of so many referees towards Rangers; the unfair treatment of Celtic players who represented Scotland. Campbell, a former teacher and academic, is the Celtic historian par excellence and he analyses the issues with his typical rigour, intelligence and wit.

Celtic's Paranoia...All in the Mind?

Charles Volney Dyer came to Chicago in 1835 as physician to the garrison at Fort Dearborn. Outraged at the assassination of abolitionist editor, Elijah Lovejoy, in Alton, Illinois, he rallied Chicogoans to form the Chicago chapter of the Anti-Slavery Society. With them, he operated the Illinois station of the Underground Railroad, freeing over 1000 slaves. Tracing Dyer's activities from 1835 to 1865, Campbell sweeps in the many players and steps in the fight against slavery. Dyer established newspapers, including National Era, which first published Uncle Tom's Cabin, and Western Citizen, which became the FreeWest and later the Chicago Tribune. He founded anti-slavery political parties--the Liberty Party, the Free Soil Party and the Illinois Republican Party, which hosted the first Republican Convention in Chicago at which Dyer helped secure the nomination for Lincoln in 1860. Lincoln is rightfully immortalized as the Great Emancipator and this book clearly demonstrates that Chicago abolitionists played a significant role in pushing slavery down the road to its ultimate extinction.
