Gabriel A. Almond, “The Return to the State,” American Political Science Review 82,3 (1988), 853-74.
The birth of the state, in the broadest sense of the word, coincides with the rise of civilization.
The nation state has remained the dominant political entity all over the world ever since, even though the many ideologies of the 19th and 20th century have created numerous different ways of running the affairs of nation states, as well as numerous different forms of internal and external organization (see political system and economic system).

 David Sylvian: Camphor: Pitchfork Review
Sitting on the left-hand extremity is Bono, nearby him Peter Gabriel, Marc Almond, Lou Reed, Gavin Friday, and the Laughing Gnome himself, David Bowie.
Sylvian thinks of himself as more than a pop star and leader of a long-defunct new wave band; he's an artist-in-sound, luvvie, and he's going out of his way to prove he could be more of an egghead than Brian Eno if he really wanted to be.
Pitchfork's thinking person's male crooner continuum places David Sylvian not so very far from the male crooner who guards the right-hand extremity of the continuum, Scott Walker.

 Chronicle of a Death Foretold
On page one of Chronicle of a Death Foretold, Gabriel Garcia Marquez says the week before his death, Santiago Nasar had, "dreamed that he was alone in a tinfoil airplane and flying through the almond trees without bumping into anything." The initial scene of action would be the tinfoil airplane.
In Chronicle of a Death Foretold, Santiago Nasar's dreams foreshadow his death though the symbolism is characteristic of life giving properties.
Symbolically, though trees may mean death for Nasar, they mean life for everyone else in that town, which is not only more within the general metaphorical meaning of trees, but also parallels the plot and themes presented in Chronicle of a Death Foretold.

In Mattei Dogan and Stein Rokkan (eds.), Quantitative Ecological Analysis in the Social Sciences, Cambridge: MIT Press, S. Almond, Gabriel and Sidney Verba.
The ecological fallacy (and the individualistic fallacy) are based on unwarranted assumptions that a phenomenon that exists at one level, also exists at another level.
This is the type of cross-level fallacy to which Seligson inadvertently falls victim, arguing that the societal-level correlation between democracy and political culture is spurious unless it is reflected in individual-level correlations between these political culture indicators and support for democracy.

 Memorial Resolution: Gabriel Almond
Their influence on Almond is unmistakable in his post-World War II work on the role of public opinion in the making of American foreign policy, on the psychological appeal of communism, and on his masterful and influential study -- in collaboration with Sidney Verba -- of the "civic culture" in five nations.
Almond's intellectually rewarding career began in 1928 with his entry as an undergraduate at the University of Chicago where he encountered a faculty that was working at the discipline's research frontiers as well as a cohort of bright fellow graduate students who became innovators in different fields of specialization and leaders in the profession.
In his senior year, Almond took Lasswell's course on "Non-Rational Factors in Political Behavior" and, clearly under Lasswell's guidance, to judge from its voluble title, wrote a senior thesis on "Developmental and Equilibrium Analysis of Balancing Power Processes." He also collaborated with Lasswell in a joint study of people on public relief.

 Amazon.com: Plutocracy and Politics in New York City (Urban Policy Challenges): Books: Gabriel A. Almond
The topic was the upper class society of New York during the time period of The Age of Innocence by Edith Wharton.
While the topic may be quite specific and this book is truly only recommended to those unique history buffs of 19th century New York City or a student writing on a relevant topic, for anyone needing information on upper class New York or the old political scene, I highly recommend the book.
I, not a great lover of history, found the book wonderfully written to not only provide me with the facts and statistics that I knew I would find in a book written with a research theme in mind, but also to entertain me with clear, logical writing that could be understood on any level.
