Hardback. Dispelling the myth that Florentine politics offered only negative lessons, Mark Jurdjevic shows that significant aspects of Machiavelli's political thought were inspired by his native city.

Hardback. John Compton shows how evangelicals, not New Deal reformers, paved the way for the most important constitutional developments of the twentieth century.
