New to our On the Shoulders of Giants series, this groundbreaking work of astronomy proposed a heliocentric universe in which planets orbited the sun-daring to challenge the Ptolemaic ideal of the earth as the center of the universe. This essay by Copernicus (1473-1543), revolutionized the way we look at the earth’s placement in the universe, and paved the way for many great scientists, including Galileo and Isaac Newton, whose theories stemmed from this model.

Voting is often the most public and visible example of mass collective decision-making. But how do we define a collective decision? And how do we classify and evaluate the modes by which collective decisions are made? This book examines these crucial questions to discover the true nature of voting as a means of making collective decisions and public choices. As traditional ways of evaluating collective decisions are under challenge, new ways and new moral criteria for collective decisions are gaining influence. With it comes an appreciation that despite the general disaffection for voting seen

Dissent was founded in 1954 by intellectuals angered by the rightward drift of the country but uneasy with the dogmatism they saw on the American left, and it has provoked debates about political ideas and about American and global issues ever since. This provocative book - a collection of articles published in Dissent over the past fifty years - presents essays from each decade of Dissent’s life that reveal how the magazine viewed that era, along with a new foreword to each section written by a contemporary Dissenter who provides perspective on the period.
