"This volume is part of a new series in political science that is devoted to empirically oriented theory. Nothing testifies more eloquently to the growing strength of empirical political theory than the conviction that now, after more than twenty-five hundred years of development, it is for the first time possible to think of building a publication series out of volumes devoted exclusively to the construction of such theory. The series is itself a sign of the times; we hope it will also provide a means for vigorously and creatively reinforcing the present tendencies. This series will contribute to the development of contemporary political theory in several distinctive ways. First and foremost, our primary objective is to gather together brief but exciting monographs that will explore alternative approaches to empirical theory. Some of these may be concerned with general, overarching theories that seek to bring order and coherence to the whole field of political science. Others may devote themselves to less comprehensive, partial theories that help to integrate selected aspects of political life, intranational, international, and cross-national. ..."

The Political System: An Inquiry into the State of Political Science

KNOPF

This book explores how the analysis of structure fits into a general theory of politics. It applies a method informed by recent theories of structuralism to the largely untouched field of political science. It takes a holistic approach to systems analysis rather than predominant decompositional methods. By using this neglected concept of structure, it successfully accounts for the great variety of regimes, something that typical decompositional research does not do. To support his case, Easton engages the work of Nicos Poulantzas, a leading structural or Althusserian Marxist. He shows that Poulantzas' work supports the neo-statist movement - a movement which fails to account for various formal regimes. The author shows that it is the organization of political systems as whole entities which fundamentally shape the form regimes take.

Painting

The transparent quality of watercolour makes it the ideal medium for flower painting. This book covers all aspects of watercolour techniques and contains ten individual flower projects. By exploring many different and sometimes unusual approaches to using watercolour, David Easton aims to extend the artist's range of expression and creativity when painting flower subjects. The importance of drawing and composition as a basis for painting and the variety of watercolour techniques are examined in detail, encouraging the artist to extend his or her range of expression to do full justice to the potential of water-based colours. The main part of the book explores individual projects, using flowers in a variety of natural and still-life settings. A useful final section gives advice on framing and exhibiting finished work, with a resume of painting materials.
