The election of Donald Trump and the Brexit vote in the UK have caused fear and panic among Western liberals. They argue that the populist backlash represents a dangerous new authoritarianism. But what if the authoritarianism is their own? In this provocative and highly original book, Salvatore Babones argues that democracy has been undermined by a quiet but devastating power grab conducted by a class of liberal experts. They have advanced a global rights-based agenda which has tilted the balance away from the lively and vibrant unpredictability of democratic decision-making toward the creeping technocratic authority of liberal consensus. Populism represents an imperfect but reinvigorating political flood that has the potential to sweep away decades of institutional detritus and rejuvenate democracy across the West.

London: Allen Lane / Penguin Books. 192p pp. Hardback small octavo, dustjacket, as new condition (in as new dustjacket), minimal edgewear. The idea that people are basically driven by individualism and economic incentives, and that prosperity and good societies come from top-down leadership, has dominated politics for the last thirty or more years. Paul Collier and John Kay show that the age of economic incentives and centralisation is coming to an end. Instead, community and mutuality will be the drivers of successful societies in the future - as they are already in some parts of the world. They show how politics can reverse the move to extremes of right and left in recent years, that the centre can hold, and that if we think differently we can find common ground to the benefit of all. Two of the leading British economists call time on selfishness as the engine of prosperity. Throughout history, successful societies have created institutions that channel both competition and cooperation to achieve complex goals of general benefit. These institutions make the difference between societies that thrive and those paralyzed by discord, the difference between prosperous and poor economies. Such societies are pluralist but their pluralism is disciplined. Successful societies are also rare and fragile. We could not have built modernity without the exceptional competitive and co-operative instincts of humans, but in recent decades the balance between these instincts has become dangerously skewed. Mutuality has been undermined by an extreme individualism which has weakened co-operation and polarized our politics. ISBN/ASIN: 9780241467954. Our Book No: 18510. $25 AUD.

This book by Helena Chmura Kraemer and Sue Thiemann fills a gap in the statistics literature, and allows researchers to quickly determine the sample size for a particular study. They clearly illustrate why sample sizes need to be sufficiently large so that the experiment has good power properties and hence low Type II error rates. Introduces a simple technique of statistical power analysis that allows researchers to compute approximate sample sizes and power for a wide variety of research designs. Because the same technique is used with only slight modifications for different statistical tests, researchers can easily compare the sample sizes required by different designs and tests to make cost-effective decisions in planning a study. These comparisons demonstrate important principles of design, measurement and analysis that are rarely discussed in textbooks. Therefore this book serves not merely as a how-to reference for sample size calculations but also as a guide to general principles of cost-effective research. (First edition, 1987.

James Mann provides a detailed and incisive 35-year history of the top six members of an inner circle of government advisors to President George W. Bush: Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, Colin Powell, Paul Wolfowitz, Richard Armitage, and Condoleezza Rice - and the era of American dominance they represent. When Bush campaigned for the White House, he was such a novice in foreign policy, he relied upon this group called the Vulcans - advisers with a long, shared experience in government, dating back to the Nixon, Ford, Reagan and first Bush administrations. After returning to power in 2001, the Vulcans deviated from previous U.S. foreign policy to adopting a far-reaching set of ideas that changed the world and the American role in it. This was because of the September 11 terrorist attacks, which led the nation into its wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Taken together, the individuals in this book represent a unique generation in American history in which America seeking to dominate the globe through its military power. ISBN/ASIN: 0143034898.

Iris Owen documents the famous 'Philip Experiment' conducted by the Toronto Society for Psychical Research in the 1970s. The experiment explored whether a group of ordinary people could create a 'ghost' through collective imagination and focused belief. A 'sitter' group met regularly to conjure up a 'spirit' named Philip as a replication of a typical seance, but without a medium. However, Philip was their entirely fictional creation: a 17th-century English nobleman with a detailed history. The sitters could communicate with Philip via table movements and yes/no raps (apparent poltergeist phenomena, similar to the ouija board experience). A psychological explanation involves unconscious muscular movements by the sitters, a psychophysiological phenomenon known as the ideomotor effect. (SCARCE.
