Immigration divides our globalising world like no other issue. We are swamped by bogus asylum-seekers & infiltrated by terrorists, our jobs stolen, our benefit system abused, our way of life destroyed
- or so we are told. Philippe Legrain, author of the critically acclaimed OPEN WORLD, has written the first book that looks beyond the headlines. Why are ever-rising numbers of people from poor countries arriving in Europe, North America & Australasia? Can we keep them out? Should we even be trying? Combining compelling first-hand reporting from around the world, incisive socio-economic analysis & a broad understanding of what is at stake politically & culturally, IMMIGRANTS is a passionate, but lucid book. In our open world, more people will inevitably move across borders, Legrain says
- & we should generally welcome them. They do the jobs we can`t or won`t do
- & their diversity enriches us all. Left & right; free-marketeers & campaigners for global justice; enlightened patriots
- all should rally behind the cause of freer migration, because They need Us & We need Them.

The great Austrian writer Stefan Zweig was a master anatomist of the deceitful heart, & Impatience of the Heart, the only novel he published during his lifetime, uncovers the seed of selfishness within even the finest of feelings. Hofmiller, an Austro-Hungarian cavalry officer stationed at the edge of the empire, is invited to a party at the home of a rich local landowner, a world away from the dreary routine of the barracks. The surroundings are glamorous, wine flows freely, & the exhilarated young Hofmiller asks his host`s lovely daughter for a dance, only to discover that sickness has left her painfully crippled. It is a minor blunder that will destroy his life, as pity & guilt gradually implicate him in a well-meaning but tragically wrongheaded plot to restore the unhappy invalid to health. ...

As Benjamin Franklin famously put it, Americans have a republic, if we can keep it. Preserving the Constitution & the democratic system it supports is the public`s responsibility. One route the Constitution provides for discharging that duty-a route rarely traveled-is impeachment. Cass R. Sunstein provides a succinct citizens` guide to an essential tool of self-government. He illuminates the constitutional design behind impeachment & emphasizes the people`s role in holding presidents accountable. Despite intense interest in the subject, impeachment is widely misunderstood. Sunstein identifies & corrects a number of misconceptions. For example, he shows that the Constitution, not the House of Representatives, establishes grounds for impeachment, & that the president can be impeached for abuses of power that do not violate the law. Even neglect of duty counts among the ”high crimes & misdemeanors” delineated in the republic`s foundational document. Sunstein describes how impeachment helps make sense of our constitutional order, particularly the framers` controversial decision to install an empowered executive in a nation deeply fearful of kings. With an eye toward the past & the future, Impeachment: A Citizen`s Guide considers a host of actual & imaginable arguments for a president`s removal, explaining why some cases are easy & others hard, why some arguments for impeachment have been judicious & others not. In direct & approachable terms, it dispels the fog surrounding impeachment so that Americans of all political convictions may use their ultimate civic authority wisely. ...
