Have the American people grown more politically sophisticated in the past three decades, or do they remain relatively ignorant of the political world? Did a \"great leap forward\" take place during the 1960s in which our citizenry became involved and adept voters? In this important book, Eric Smith addresses these and other provocative questions that have long befuddled political scientists and policymakers. Much of the current wisdom about American voters derives from an argument advanced in a volume entitled The Changing American Voter, written by Nie, Verba, and Petrocik. In this work, the authors contend that the electorate made a \"great leap forward\" in political sophistication and ideological thinking between the 1960 and 1964 elections. They argue that people changed in response to a shifting environment, and that, in particular, the surge of protest and ideological rhetoric between 1960 and 1964 engendered a new political savvy and sophistication. In their view, people learned to understand politics better, to relate the issues to the candidates more accurately, and to cast more informed, intelligent votes. In The Unchanging American Voter, Smith takes issue with this portrait of an engaged American citizenry and replaces it with a quite different picture of the voters of this nation. He posits a more bleak political landscape in which the typical voter knows little about politics, is not interested in the political arena and consequently does not participate in it, and is even unable to organize his or her attitudes in a coherent manner. To support this view, Smith demonstrates how the indices by which Nie, Verba, and Petrocik measured levels of sophistication during the 1960s were methodologically flawed and how a closer examination of supposed changes reveals only superficial and unimportant shifts in the ways voters have approached the ballot box since the 1950s. The Unchanging American Voter is an intelligent and original work that provides a new perspective of the American citizenry. It is sure to engender discussion and debate about the dynamics of voting in postwar America.

What is this 'idea' of the university? Why does it need to be defended? Does the work of defense preclude the task of rearranging the idea itself? Drawing on these essential questions, this volume traces the historical transformations of the university in medieval Europe and explores current debates on its existence and sustenance in a neoliberal India. It challenges the liberal-humanist 'ideal' of academic exchange to inquire into long befuddled debates on the true nature of the modern university. Along with its companion The University Unthought: Notes for a Future, this brave new intervention makes a compelling foray into the political future(s) of the university. It will be of interest to academics, educators and students of the social sciences and humanities, especially education. It will also be of use to policy-makers and education analysts, and central to the concerns of any citizen.

Befuddled is a short, sharp mystery novel from the Love Inc. Mystery series, and was penned by author Anita Bombard. This charming and light mystery novel provides a fast-paced read when our plucky heroine AJ Love finds herself on the arm of the studly Detective Stone on a date with both him and disaster. The appearance of an impossible body puts them onto a trail to seek out a killer that should never have been able to escape the scene, and the pair investigates with plenty of hijinks and sizzle of their own along the way. What results is an intriguing and playful caper centered on relationships and mysteries. With plenty of humor and sparkle thrown in for luck, Befuddled is far from serious, but also highly infectious as a playful chick-lit mystery novel. AJ is an excellent central figure for the tale to play around, with a bright, quirky nature and a feisty attitude at just the right moments. Author Anita Bombard describes the gorgeous but hard-boiled Detective Stone with all the right notes for an alpha male romance lead, and their personal interplay gets them into all sorts of fun situations which both help and hinder the case. The plot is solid and not easy to predict, making for plenty of surprises and an interesting and satisfying conclusion to a seemingly impossible problem. Overall, Befuddled is a recommended read for all cozy mystery fans, as well as those chick-lit readers looking for a new genre with the same sense of fun.
