Description These are a collection of images from my forthcoming book, Democracy For Beginners, published by Steerforth Press, through Random House. Written by Professor Robert Cavalier of Carnegie Mellon University, Democracy For Beginners is a critical look at the history and mechanics of this grand experiment. Beginning with the rise of Democracy in 5th Century Athens and ending with the future of democracy with the notion of β€œe-democracy” and the possibility of democratic practice across national boundaries via the internet, Democracy For Beginners traces the evolution of democracy as a political concept and address some of its main critics (from Plato to contemporary social choice theory).

I lent my hand to more than 120 individual black and white illustrations, including a full color - digitally painted cover [link] .

The release date for the book is February 10th, 2009.

I just wonder how many people remember James Bryce and "The American Commonwealth"?

I doubt anyone not interested in history or politics has ever heard of it. That being said, you can read the entire thing here:Β archive.org/stream/americancom…

Thanks, I've just added it to my favorites.Β  I recalled that Bryce discussed the "Tweed Ring", and former Mayor A. Oakley Hall criticized his account, but Bryce dismissed Hall's attack on his research.Β

and here we have more of the forefathers of democracy: some call them revolutionaries, some call them rebels, some call them heroes. nowadays they'd be known as terrorists.

Thanks - I really had to work fast on these - creating over 120 in 30 days. I would have loved more time but I think working on such a tight deadline kept my hand moving fast, creating lines I wouldn't normally make!
