Book Description
It is not uncommon for elected politicians to be passionate--and to passionately dislike opponents from the other side of the aisle. Yet however much they dislike their opponents, there is a baseline expectation that any fighting will be verbal only. As Emily Bacchus and Nathan Batto demonstrate in Making Punches Count, physical fights on the floors of legislatures are an all too common feature of politics in democracies around the world.

Common Sense 101
Author: Dale Ahlquist
Publisher: Ignatius Press
ISBN: 1681491052
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 324
Book Description
Dale Ahlquist, the President of the American Chesterton Society, and author of G. K. Chesterton -The Apostle of Common Sense, presents a book of wonderful insights on how to "look at the whole world through the eyes of Chesterton". Since, as he says, "Chesterton wrote about everything", there is an ocean of his material to benefit from GKC's insights on a kaleidoscope of many important topics. Chesterton wrote a hundred books on a variety of themes, thousands of essays for London newspapers, penned epic poetry, delighted in detective fiction, drew illustrations, and made everyone laugh by his keen humor. Everyone who knew Chesterton loved him, even those he debated with. His unique writing style that combines philosophy, spirituality, history, humor, and paradox have made him one of the most widely read authors of modern times. As Ahlquist shows in his engaging volume, this most quoted writer of the 20th century has much to share with us on topics covering politics, art, education, wonder, marriage, fads, poetry, faith, charity and much more.
