The State and Religion in a Nutshell (Nutshell Series)
As a guide on religion and religious freedoms, this book was disappointing in that it did not address neo-pagan religious groups and religious viewpoints in America... especially one of the fastest growing religions in the States: Wicca.In federal court in 1985, Wicca became recognized as an "official" religion in the U.S. (See Detmer v. Landon) And in light of the religious freedoms that have been trampled on over the years for non-mainstream religions in schools, prisons, employment, etc., it would have been great to see some of this addressed in this book. ...

Qing government at the grass-root level
This book attempts to analyze the structure and function of local government at the 'zhou' and 'xian' levels during the Qing dynasty (1644-1911).These lowest levels of administration dealt directly with the everyday activities of the people.However, Chu never clearly identifies them beyond referring to them as "department" (zhou) and "district" (xian).'Zhou' in its modern usage commonly refers to a state or prefecture, however in former times I assume it referred to a sub-prefecture administration (possibly a region consisting of many towns and villiages within a prefecture).'Xian' can be considered a county (the same as in the modern usage).
