This fascinating book is the first volume in a projected cultural history of the United States, from the earliest English settlements to our own time. It is a history of American folkways as they have changed through time, and it argues a thesis about the importance for the United States of having been British in its cultural origins. While most people in the United States today have no British ancestors, they have assimilated regional cultures which were created by British colonists, even while preserving ethnic identities at the same time. In this sense, nearly all Americans are "Albion's Seed," no matter what their ethnicity may be. The concluding section of this remarkable book explores the ways that regional cultures have continued to dominate national politics from 1789 to 1988, and still help to shape attitudes toward education, government, gender, and violence, on which differences between American regions are greater than between European nations.

Political trust – in government, parliament, or political parties – has taken centre stage in political science for more than half a century, reflecting ongoing concerns with the legitimacy and functioning of representative democracy. To provide scholars, students and policy makers with a tool to navigate through the complexity of causes and consequences of political trust, this Handbook offers an excellent overview of the conceptual, theoretical, methodological and empirical state of the art, complemented by accounts of regional particularities, and authored by international experts in this field.

This Alternate Edition is the comprehensive version of The New American Democracy without the policy chapters. Focusing on electoral forces, this text offers a stimulating, analytical approach that gives students a unique understanding of their political system as it exists today. Undoubtedly one of the most respected texts in the field, the Fourth Edition of this text broadens its electoral focus to encompass full coverage of the 2004 Election. With a December release, the content will be completely updated, including such timely topics on the election results, and Middle East Foreign Policy. A new elegant, streamlined format and design will visibly reflect the analytical approach and rational choice perspective. To focus on pertinent features and return to the true focus of the book, several features have been absolved, returning the text to its core strength. The addition of two new co-authors bring more coverage in certain key areas-Bertram Johnson with expertise in InterGovernmental Relations, and D. Stephen Voss, a former journalist and race relations scholar.
