About this product
Product Information
While change is the only constant in politics and society, the US political system's ability to evolve accordingly has waned over time as increasingly complex decision making systems and institutions complicate political processes. This volume examines the many facets of American thinkers--from Thomas Paine to Rosa Parks--whose innovations have contributed to the American consciousness. Johansson offers an innovative theoretical prism through which to study the role of leadership in the US political system, asking scholars to consider the fate of presidents and other leaders in light of Washington DC's sclerotic political environment.

"In US Leaders in Political Time and Space, Jon Johansson considers the nature of American political leadership. Happily, he avoids the temptation to focus on presidents. His twelve chosen leaders, not all of whom are household names, stand the scrutiny of examination. Epoch builders all of them, who helped to craft the American experiment. Johansson gives readers important insight into how new American epochs will be created in the 21st Century." -Alan Tidwell, Georgetown University, USA"Johansson has given us a selective and refreshing look at American leadership at various levels over a span of some two hundred years. His work deserves the full attention for all interested in America, past and present." -Hollis R. Lynch, Professor Emeritus of History, Columbia University"A wonderful work, inspired in its choice of subjects: Tom Pai≠Meriwether Lewis (of Lewis & Clark); Civil War Generals Sherman, Grant, and Lee; and Civil Rights heroes Jackie Robinson, Rosa Parks, Martin Luther King. Written in the spirit of John F. Kennedy's Profiles in Courage, this is a book about grace under pressure, character, and leadership-qualities that the US and 'the whole cockeyed world' can certainly use a whole lot more of." -Stephen Levine, Professor of Political Science and International Relations, Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand, In US Leaders in Political Time and Space, Jon Johansson considers the nature of American political leadership.

Ok so I ordered this item listed as having free shipping. It was listed at $43.54 with free shipping. Somehow I ended up being charged $65.52. Then after waiting 3 weeks and having absolutely no tracking information I spoke with the seller who agreed to send a replacment, but despite charging me extra money was unwilling to ship that replacment in a way that wouldn't take atleast 3 more weeks. Ultimately this was a complete waste of time and the seller is not one that I would recommend.

This is not a coloring book!!!!! It’s just a book of black and white photos and even if colored over would look horrible! This book is a scam and I have received 2 items out of 3 I ordered and the third hasn’t even been shipped. Tried to message seller but only option given is to send the item number but no way to give reason for dissatisfaction with item! I would advise not ordering anything from this seller…
