University Press of Kansas

It's called, aptly enough, Opinionated, Kansas journalists who proved why commentary matters Then and Now.

It comes out from the University Press of Kansas.

His second book is set for 2028.

Now, I should say that in the interest of disclosure, I was asked to write a blurb for Clay's book, and I was happy to do so.

The building's in fine shape, but it is certainly suggestive of some other forces and challenges around.

And this was all designed by Carl at the University Press of Kansas, who did the actual cover and kind of merged the photo with the typography and everything.

And in the process, I've talked to Jeremiah, and he's going to be coming up here to Kansas next month in October, and I think we're going to do an event or something together.

So

I have to smile because I have n- I had nothing to do with the title.

It, it came to us of courtesy of the, our editor at Kansas, David Condon.

We, uh, I have written many books.

I'm Caleb Zachran, CEO and publisher of the New Books Network.

Today I'm speaking with John Kenneth White and Matthew Kerbel about their new book from the University Press of Kansas, Democracy on the Edge: The Trump Elections and the Future of American Politics.

John is professor of politics at the Catholic University of America, and Matt is professor of political science at Villanova University.

Just in time for the upcoming midterms, Democracy on the Edge puts the three most recent general US elections under a microscope.

Uh, and yeah, it's, it's fascinating to watch.

So, um, yeah, John and Matt, thank you so much for being guests on the New Books Network.

It was really wonderful to have you both on talking about your book, Democracy on the Edge, uh, from the University Press of Kansas.

So thank you so much and I really recommend people check it out.

It's uniquely structured in that it was really important to Charlie if it was possible with our publisher.

So University Press of Kansas has been a wonderful collaborator in the weird things we've wanted to do.

So we wanted, Charlie really wanted marginalia.

She wanted a book where there was main text on the page, but then we could have call outs in the margins in certain relevant places.
