Death of Deliberation
A common observation of the Senate today is that it is paralyzed by gridlock; the Senate is currently composed of ideologically polarized members, and the majority and minority leaders exercise more influence because they lead more cohesive political parties. However, the argument that the Senate and by extension, the Congress, are undermined by rampant obstruction overlooks the fact that the contemporary Senate is still capable of overcoming the differences among its members without descending into an endless debate of ideological partisanship and irreconcilable gridlock. While current treatments of the Senate often seek to explain why gridlock happens, in this book, James Wallner addresses the important question of why gridlock does not happen. His answer is quite simple: The Senate changes the manner in which it makes decisions on a case-by-case basis in order to limit conflict between its members. Yet, the Senate’s ability to produce important legislation in the current environment may undermine the institution’s deliberative function. Wallner puts forth the unique proposition that while the contemporary Senate may indeed be broken, it is not broken in the sense typically acknowledged. Put simply, deliberation has succumbed to the Senate’s bipartisan determination to avoid gridlock and pass important legislation.

Network Paris (Bilingual edition)
A journey to the art capital of the 1930s: Paris. The avant-garde group abstraction-création and its fifty or so members were an inspiration to the art world with their clear lines and kaleidoscopic experiments with form. Leading figures of abstraction joined together to support artistic freedom and oppose the rise of fascism, before modernism shifted its gravitational centre to New York. Sophie Taeuber-Arp’s distinctly concrete forms and Hans Arp’s organic abstractions, Theo van Doesburg’s compositions of line grids and Jean Gorin’s social utopias transformed into abstract forms – the entire cosmos of non-representational art found a home in the cosmopolitan group abstraction création. This visually superlative volume combines highlights of abstract art with carefully integrated contemporary perspectives, offering an introduction to the group, impressions of Paris in the 1930s and a visual treasure trove. Contemporary Artists: Rana Begum, Angela Bulloch, Daniel Buren, Imi Knoebel, Timo Nasseri, Kai Schiemenz, Beat Zoderer. Artists: Hans (Jean) Arp, Willi Baumeister, Alexander Calder, Robert Delaunay, Theo Van Doesburg, Otto Freundlich, Naum Gabo, Albert Gleizes, Jean Gorin, Jean Hélion, Barbara Hepworth, Auguste Herbin, Mainie Jellett, Laszlo Moholynagy, Piet Mondrian, Marlow Moss, Wladyslaw Strzeminski, Sophie Taeuber-Arp, Georges Vantongerloo, Friedrich Vordemberge-Gildewart, Et Al.
