Preservation Politics
You’ve established a historic district in your town! Now what? Preservation Politics picks up where The Politics of Historic Districts leaves off, advising the established HPC on how to maintain momentum in their communities once the initial political campaign to win historic preservation designation has faded and the real work of enforcement begins. Schmickle goes beyond “best practices” to get to the political root of our district problems: a collective preference for putting preservation interests ahead of citizens and the larger public good. He argues that public service is the key to the long-term vitality of historic districts. Along the way, he takes on everyone who threatens district operations, from those who shirk responsibility and shred historic resources to those preservationists whose radicalism undermines public support. With wit and wisdom, this book shows that there may be no such thing as happily ever after, but historic preservation is worth the fight!

The Price of Loyalty
This book explores how and why Vietnam loomed so large for Humphrey as vice president from 1964 through the 1968 election campaign against Richard Nixon. It assesses how Humphrey’s loyalty to Lyndon B. Johnson, who emerges as the villain of the story in many ways, would negatively affect his political ambitions. And it engages the disconnect between Humphrey’s principles and the intricate politics of his convoluted relationship with the president and his unsuccessful presidential campaign. It is a complex and frustrating narrative, the results of which would be tragic, not only for Humphrey’s presidential aspirations, but also for the war in Southeast Asia and the future of the United States.
Russia and the NIS in the World Economy
Economically and politically, the former Soviet Union is a hungry, unstable partner. There will be further changes in Baltic relationships with them that are hard to predict beyond the immediate future. For this reason, Professor Palmieri's contribution is more than required reading for an audience of East-West trade specialists. To be competent in Baltic matters, we have to be well informed about the critical economic and political interfaces with our neighbors in the East. Journal of Baltic Studies
