From Aristotle to Thomas Jefferson, seminal thinkers have declared 'common sense' essential for moral discernment and civilized living. Yet the story of commonsense philosophy is not well known today. In "America and the Political Philosophy of Common Sense", Scott Segrest traces the history and explores the personal and social meaning of common sense as understood especially in American thought and as reflected specifically in the writings of three paradigmatic thinkers: John Witherspoon, James McCosh, and William James.

Why, despite their similar goals, do the policy preferences of the European Union and United States diverge on so many multilateral issues? To answer that question, Allies at Odds thoroughly examines recent international efforts in arms control, environmental protection, human rights, and military cooperation. Evidence from twenty separate cases supports the expectations of the realist approach to international politics, which focuses on the role of power above all. Neither cultural factors nor international institutions have as much influence as some expect.

Covers the aftermath of World War I and events in Europe, Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and the U.S. from 1919 to 1939 which lead to the outbreak of World War II. World War I, in the eyes of Britain, France, and the United States, was supposed to be the “war to end all wars.” Unfortunately, this prediction did not come true. The 1914 to 1918 war was originally called the “Great War.” This was because no one could imagine a worse war happening again. It was also the war that was fought “to make the world safe for democracy.” The hopes of 1918 were dashed by 1939. In looking back at this time period, it becomes clear that World War II was not so much a new war as a second act of the Great War. But unlike World War I, World War II was truly a world war.

“The first edition was an eloquent summary of Morley’s life work. It was a delight to read and to look at, and it was recognized by an eager read¬ ing public as a magnificent panorama of the Maya world. The re¬ vised edition of The Ancient Maya presents the full sweep of the Maya development within an archaeological framework which is in accord with the most recent findings but without sacrificing much of Morley’s enthusiasm and admiration for the Maya.
