Constituent Imagination: Militant Investigations, Collective Theorization
AK Press
, 2007
What is the relationship of radical theory to movements for social change? In a world where more and more global struggles are refusing vanguard parties and authoritarian practices, does the idea of the detached intellectual, observing events from on high, make sense anymore? In this powerful and unabashedly militant collection, over two dozen academic authors and engaged intellectuals-including Antonio Negri and Colectivo Situaciones-provide ...

, 2003
Editor, Medical Herbalism journal
An excellent quick reference for the professional herbalist. It is in the same niche as other quick reference books such as Potter's Encylcopedia or Lust's Herb book, but far superior to either, because 1) it has many more herbs 2) it has up-to-date and accurate details on plant chemistry 3) the author has mined the wealth of herbal literature in German, Italian, and French 4) it contains ...
The Paradox of Constitutionalism: Constituent Power and Constitutional Form
Oxford University Press, USA
, 2008
The book sets out to examine some of the key features of what we describe as the paradox of constitutionalism: whether those who have the authority to make a constitution - the 'constituent power' - can do so without effectively surrendering that authority to the institutional sites of power 'constituted' by the constitutional form they enact. In particular, is the constituent power exhausted in the single constitutive act or does it retain a ...

Home Style: House Members in Their Districts (Longman Classics Series) (Longman Classics Series)
2 reviews
Richard F. Fenno
Longman
, 2002
A classic work
Fenno's Home Style may have since been surpassed by some of his own work, but the original is still the best, in my humble opinion. Fenno traveled with congressmen from around the country and examined how they interact with their constituents while "at home" and out of the Beltway. His findings are a must-read for anyone interested in politics, Congress, and the legislative process. Fenno ...

The Concept of Constituency: Political Representation, Democratic Legitimacy, and Institutional Design
Andrew Rehfeld
Cambridge University Press
, 2005
In virtually every democratic nation in the world, political representation is defined by where citizens live. In the United States, for example, Congressional Districts are drawn every 10 years as lines on a map. Why do democratic governments define political representation this way? Are territorial electoral constituencies commensurate with basic principles of democratic legitimacy? And why might our commitments to these principles lead us ...

Medicinal Plants of the World, Volume 3: Chemical Constituents, Traditional and Modern Medicinal Uses
3 reviews
Ivan A. Ross
Humana Press
, 2005
Great book
I have been using the two books by I.A. Ross in the library, and hopefully will buy my own copies soon. The organization of information is excellent. There is a similarly titled book by van Wyk and Michael Wink, which I bought sometime ago before I discovered the books by Ross. The book by Wyk and Wink, with its misleading title,is quite inferior to the books by Ivan Ross. My main grouse with the ...
The People Themselves: Popular Constitutionalism and Judicial Review

Larry D. Kramer
Oxford University Press, USA
, 2004
Junto Society thumbs up!
Larry D. Kramer has constructed a masterful work here that belongs in every American's library. When it comes to subjects like judicial review, many author's, themselves often constitutional attorneys, have a tendency to go out of their way to try to write "over the head" of the political novice. Not the case with Kramer's work. He writes in a succinct fashion that will be appreciated by both ...
