Original Meanings: Politics and Ideas in the Making of the Constitution

20 reviews
Jack N. Rakove

Vintage, 1997

An excellent explication of the political thought behind the U.S. Constitution
I just finished reading this book for a class in U.S. Constitutional History and my Professor has aptly noted that this book really attempts to do two things: first, it makes this point about Originalism, demonstrating that any attempt to divine original meaning, intention, or understanding is perilous because of the diverse thought, political motivations, and interests present in the drafting ...

Faber & Faber, 1986

USSR: From an Original Idea by Karl Marx
This is a story of the USSR which is no longer there (except for its people who remain unchanged since 10 or 20 years ago). Today, you don't have to pay a doorman to get into a restaurant, and floors at Moscow metro are no longer "fit to eat off". However, old ladies in the street will still reproach you for wearing no hat in winter, and your new Russian friends will still make detailed ...

Table Inspirations: Original Ideas for Stylish Entertaining

Emily Chalmers

Ryland Peters & Small Ltd, 2001

More samples needed
I'm a visual learner, and therefore, I found this book needing more photos of "table inspirations". Chalmers is a wonderful author, and has written other books, but this book lacked "something" (for my personal taste). If you can pay a very low price for this book, then that's OK, but if you're paying full price, then you'll be a bit disappointed.

Very eclectic group of writers ranging from Benjamin Graham to P.T. Barnum (I have always found Barnum's "Rules for Success" to be invaluable). Very hard to put down once you have begun.

There were so many varied games in this book that both groups had a great time. Instructions are easy to follow and the games are all instantly addictive.
