Dan Webb explores an undervalued topic in the formal discipline of Political Theory (and political science, more broadly): the urban as a level of political analysis and political struggles in urban space. Because the city and urban space is so prominent in other critical disciplines, most notably, geography and sociology, a driving question of the book is: what kind of distinct contribution can political theory make to the already existing critical urban literature? The answer is to be found in what Webb calls the "properly political" approach to understanding political conflict as developed in the work of thinkers like Chantal Mouffe, Jodi Dean, and Slavoj &#381;i&#382;ek. This "properly political" analysis is contrasted with and a curative to the predominant "ethical" or "post-political" understanding of the urban found in so much of the geographical and sociological critical urban theory literature. In order to illustrate this primary theoretical argument of the book, Webb suggests that "common property" is the most useful category for conceiving the city as a site of the "properly political." When the city and urban space are framed within this theoretical framework, critical urbanists are provided a powerful tool for understanding urban political struggles, in particular, anti-gentrification movements in the inner city.

Fourteen young Americans, fourteen stories… The face of Conservatism is changing, and these fourteen young Americans share their personal stories about what it means to be a young conservative. From former Liberals to first-generation Americans, they’ve each taken different roads, held different beliefs, prioritized different issues, and lived their lives in different ways. Yet each chose conservatism as the best way to protect their freedom. “Young, Conservative, and Why it’s Smart to be like Us” offers an exciting glimpse of the future of conservatism with witty, serious, insightful, practical, pointed, and sometimes touching stories about what conservatism means to each author personally and politically. Chapters by Allen Ginzburg, Brady Cremeens, Brandon Morse, Dina Fraioli, Dan Webb, Erin Brown, Gabriella Hoffman, Kate Shaw, Kevin Eder, Liberty Betts, Liz Thatcher, Liz Wheeler, Mary Chastain, R.J.

If you're a web developer with previous JavaScript and DOM scripting experience, Accelerated DOM Scripting with Ajax, APIs, and Libraries is perfect for you to take your knowledge to the next level. This book is about JavaScript and using the document object model the conduit to the HTML document. This book is not about learning how to program JavaScript from scratch. It starts with the assumption that you have done some JavaScript development before and understand the JavaScript syntax. This book builds on that knowledge to give you a deeper understanding of DOM scripting and how to apply that to your projects. It uses this new understanding to describe what JavaScript libraries are and show you how they can be applied to your project. The book will also explain Ajax and how best to plan and apply it to your projects. It explains how to build simple animation objects for adding movement to elements on the page. There are straightforward examples that demonstrate the techniques used throughout the book. JavaScript has seen a resurgence in popularity over the past few years, and with it has come an exploration of the power of the language as well as what it can do within the browser. This book will explain techniques new and old such as closures, encapsulation, and inheritance that many are using and how you can best apply them to your own projects. By reading this book, you should have a greater understanding of how JavaScript works and be able to use advanced concepts such as closures and event delegation to build more flexible applications for the Web. You'll walk away with a greater appreciation for JavaScript libraries and how they can simplify and speed up your development. You'll also be able to implement Ajax effectively into your site, create special effects, use JavaScript libraries, and know how best to apply these libraries to your projects. What you'll learn Where CSS, HTML, and the DOM fit into
