Publication Details
Book, 1st ed, Alfred A. Knopf, 2009

Description
Searching for the men behind the icons of emancipation and evolution, Adam Gopnik shows us, in this captivating double life, Lincoln and Darwin as they really were: family men and social climbers; Above all, we see Lincoln and Darwin as thinkers and writers?as makers and witnesses of the great change in thought that marks truly modern times: a hundred years after the Enlightenment, the old rule of faith and fear finally yielding to one of reason, argument, and observation not merely as intellectual ideals but as a way of life; (automatically summarized from Amazon.com)

The Liberal Hour : Washington And The Politics Of Change In The 1960s

Attribution
G. Calvin Mackenzie & Robert Weisbrot
Publication Details
Book, Penguin Press, 2008
Description
A vibrant and revelatory history of the liberal moment of the 1960s, one which argues that Washington was not simply a target of reform but was, in fact, the era?s most effective engine of change In most accounts of the 1960s, Washington is portrayed as a target of reform?a reluctant group of politicians coaxed into accepting the radical spirit the day demanded. With elegant and accessible prose, The Liberal Hour casts one of the most dramatic periods in American history in a new light, revealing that for all that has been written about the more attention-grabbing protest movements, the most powerful engine of change in that tumultuous decade was Washington itself.

Return Of The "L" Word : A Liberal Vision For The New Century

Attribution
Douglas S. Massey
Publication Details
Book, Princeton University Press, 2005
Description
The time is ripe for a liberal realignment, declares Massey, but what has been lacking is a consistent liberal ideology that explains to voters, in simple terms, government’s vital role in producing a healthier, more financially equitable, less divided society. Drawing on insights from the expanding field of economic sociology, he then sets forth a clear set of liberal principles to explain how markets work in society, principles he applies to articulate salable liberal policies.

Description
Eugene McCarthy was one of the most fascinating political figures of the postwar era: a committed liberal anti-Communist who broke with his party?s leadership over Vietnam and ultimately helped take down the political giant Lyndon B.
