James David Barber

Dr. James David Barber (July 31, 1930 – September 12, 2004) was a political scientist whose book The Presidential Character made him famous for his classification of presidents through their worldviews. From 1977 to 1995 he was a professor of political science at Duke University.

Barber was born on July 31, 1930, in Charleston, West Virginia, to a physician and nurse.
