Who Gets a Childhood?
Using Texas as a case study for understanding change in the American juvenile justice system over the past century, the author tells the story of three cycles of scandal, reform, and retrenchment, each of which played out in ways that tended to extend the privileges of a protected childhood to white middle- and upper-class youth, while denying those protections to blacks, Latinos, and poor whites. On the forefront of both progressive and "get tough" reform campaigns, Texas has led national policy shifts in the treatment of delinquent youth to a surprising degree. Changes in the legal system have included the development of courts devoted exclusively to young offenders, the expanded legal app...

Excerpt from A Masonic Oration on the Death of Brother William S. Bush, Lieutenant of Marines, Who Was Killed on Board the Frigate Constitution, During Her Engagement With the British Frigate Guerrier, on the 19th August, 1812 The subject of our present me'moir, who had, at a'very early age, 'been deprived of the kind endearments and ca resses of a fond mother, was instructed under the immediate eyeof his father, - by a private teacher in his'family. His education - owing to'the distance of his place of residence from a college, or, perhaps, to the circumscribed limits of his father's means, was not what 18 termed liberal, hav ing been confined to the study of his native language, and to tho...
The Bush Presidency
The four years of the Bush presidency cover a momentous era in American and world history. In international affairs the events in Eastern Europe and the then Soviet Union in late 1989 gave the President a high profile. The advent of the 'New World Order' made the United States pre-eminent: the triumph of the West was assured, with the added bonus of the 'peace dividend' as arms control agreements and defense savings seemed imminent. The President's personal popularity flourished in this climate and reached a new peak with the triumph of the allied forces in the Gulf War. The Gulf conflict saw Bush at his most decisive: firm in his moral stance, skilled in his action to bring together allied support backed by the United Nations, and confident in his handling of public opinion.

Excerpt from A Masonic Oration on the Death of Brother William S. Bush, Lieutenant of Marines, Who Was Killed on Board the Frigate Constitution, During Her Engagement With the British Frigate Guerrier, on the 19th August, 1812 Had I for the subject of my story the veteran warrior of the revolution-whose sear-indented breast bore attestation of his presence with embattled hosts-I should have found, in the variety of circumstance incident upon a course of lustrous events, a sufficiency of narrative to interest the feelings of my brethren. Or, were I endowed with the fascinating powers of an orator, I might presume, by the force of eloquence, to command the attention which I am now compelled to...
William James on Democratic Individuality
William James (1842–1910) argued for a philosophy of democracy and pluralism that advocates individual and collective responsibility for our social arrangements, our morality, and our religion. In James' view, democracy resides first and foremost not in governmental institutions or in procedures such as voting, but rather in the characteristics of individuals, and in qualities of mind and conduct. It is a philosophy for social change, counselling action and hope despite the manifold challenges facing democratic politics, and these issues still resonate strongly today. In this book, Stephen Bush explores how these themes connect to James' philosophy of religion, his moral thought, his epistemology, his psychology, and his metaphysics. His fresh and original study highlights the relevance of James' thought to modern debates, and will appeal to scholars and students of moral and political philosophy.
