Von Volkstümlern und Falschspielern
Bereits seit über 40 Jahren ist der Vorwurf des Populismus ein beliebtes Mittel im demokratischen Schlagabtausch politischer Gegner. Anhand der empirischen Auswertung seines Einsatzes im Deutschen Bundestag geht Jan-Holm Sussieck der Frage nach, wer ihn wem gegenüber formuliert und analysiert seinen Inhalt und Zusammenhang. Die Annahme, vor allem Außenseiterparteien wie die AfD würden in dieser Form stigmatisiert, hält nicht stand. Zugleich deckt das in der aktuellen Politikwissenschaft vertretene Verständnis von Populismus, so die Erkenntnis, nur einen kleinen Teil dessen ab, was darunter verhandelt wird. Um seiner Verwendung in der politischen Praxis analytisch gerecht zu werden, schlägt der Autor vor, gerade auch die vielen alltäglichen Populismusvorwürfe innerhalb des politischen Mainstreams soziologisch ernstzunehmen.
False Prophets
The studies in this volume deal with problems of authoritarianism and anti-Semitism. Lowenthal's book length contribution, "Prophets of Deceit," which begins this collection, is a classic of political psychology. This research study is followed by an essay, "Terror's Atomization of Man. "Lowenthal uses this material for a theory of the psychological mechanisms operative under terrorist conditions and their significance for contemporary society.
Political Emotions
Martha Nussbaum asks: How can we sustain a decent society that aspires to justice and inspires sacrifice for the common good? Amid negative emotions endemic even to good societies, public emotions rooted in love--intense attachments outside our control--can foster commitment to shared goals and keep at bay the forces of disgust and envy.
The Anatomy of Mountain Ranges
Focusing on mountain ranges that are relatively unfamiliar to most geologists, this work expands our view of tectonics beyond a standardized textbook approach and illustrates both the extraordinary variety of mountain ranges over the world through time and many of the basic similarities they display. Originally published in 1987. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.
Depositional Sedimentary Environments
From the reviews: "...This is an extremely useful reference text for the sedimentary geologist to own. It is well produced with clear illustrations and text, and gives excellent factual information on a large number of topics." (Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology) "...represents a significant contribution to the literature of geoscience. It should be in the library of anyone seriously intereted in sedimentology."(Marine Geology) "This book is still unsurpassed in providing a good, basic synthesis of modern sedimentary environments, especially the physical attributes of the deposits being formed and the processes responsible..." (Sedimentary Geology)

Atlas of Igneous Rocks and Their Textures
A companion volume to the "Atlas of rock-forming minerals in thin section", this full-colour handbook is designed to be used as a laboratory manual both by elementary students of earth sciences undertaking a study of igneous rocks in thin section under the microscope, and by more advanced students and teachers as a reference work. The book is divided into two parts - Part one is devoted to photographs of many of the common textures found in igneous rocks with brief descriptions accompanying each photograph. Part two illustrates the appearance of examples of some sixty of the commonest (and a few not so common) igneous rock types; each photograph is accompanied by a brief description of the field of view shown. Nearly 300 full-colour photographs are included, and in many cases the same view is shown both in plen-polarized light and under crossed polars. A brief account of how thin sections can be prepared is included as an appendix.
Earth's Dynamic Systems
The web site hosts a variety of review materials, including maps, images, photographs, and links to external sources of geological data and images. The CD-ROM inc;udes high quality images, videos, animations, narrated "Chalk Talks", and identification modules.
