Synopsis: In Americas Constitution, one of this eras most accomplished constitutional law scholars, Akhil Reed Amar, gives the first comprehensive account of one of the worlds great political texts. Incisive, entertaining, and occasionally controversial, this biography of Americas framing document explains not only what the Constitution says but also why the Constitution says it. We all know this much: the Constitution is neither immutable nor perfect. Amar shows us how the story of this one relatively compact document reflects the story of America more generally. (For example, much of the Constitution, including the glorious-sounding We the People, was lifted from existing American legal texts, including early state constitutions. ) In short, the Constitution was as much a product of its environment as it was a product of its individual creators inspired genius. Despite the Constitutions flaws, its role in guiding our republic has been nothing short of amazing. Skillfully placing the document in the context of late-eighteenth-century American politics, Americas Constitution explains, for instance, whether there is anything in the Constitution that is unamendable; the reason America adopted an electoral college; why a president must be at least thirty-five years old; and whyfor now, at leastonly those citizens who were born under the American flag can become president. From his unique perspective, Amar also gives us unconventional wisdom about the Constitution and its significance throughout the nations history. For one thing, we see that the Constitution has been far more democratic than is conventionally understood. Even though the document was drafted by white landholders, a remarkably large number of citizens (by the standards of 1787) were allowed to vote up or down on it, and the documents later amendments eventually extended the vote to virtually all Americans. We also learn that the Founders Constitution was far more slavocratic than many would acknowledge: the three fifths clause gave the South extra political clout for every slave it owned or acquired. As a result, slaveholding Virginians held the presidency all but four of the Republics first thirty-six years, and proslavery forces eventually came to dominate much of the federal government prior to Lincolns election. Ambitious, even-handed, eminently accessible, and often surprising, Americas Constitution is an indispensable work, bound to become a standard reference for any student of history and all citizens of the United States.

John Lennon (1940-80), was the man who co fronted The Beatles, and whose energy and initial commitment to becoming 'bigger then Elvis' were greatly influential in taking them to the heights of fame. John was a thoughtful, intelligent man, celebrated for his sharp wit and swift put downs. Privately, he was a complex man, a superstar who hated the restrictions of being famous, a singer who disliked the sound of his own voice, a devoted man who was publicly unfaithful. His partnership with Paul McCartney and the other Beatles, changed the parameters of popular music, and his early prose added to the richness of the English language. After the break up of The Beatles, John's relationship with Yoko Ono became one of the great love stories of our times, and with her he developed into both an interesting conceptual artist and an influential campaigner for peace. On the evening of the 8th December 1980, John Lennon, was shot and fatally wounded in the archway of the Dakota Building, his residence in New York. The killer Mark David Chapman, was an American Beatles fan who was jealous and enraged by Lennon's wealthy lifestyle, alongside his 1966 comment that the Beatles were 'more popular than Jesus'. Chapman said he was inspired by the fictional character Holden Caulfield from J. D. Salinger's novel 'The Catcher in the Rye' a 'phony-killer' who loathes hypocrisy. Quite a scarce book.
