About the Book A library catalog (catalogue) is a register of the bibliographic items found in a library or network of libraries that are spread over several locations. There are many other types of catalogs, including exhibition catalogs, music catalogs, database catalogs, font catalogs, stamp catalogs and auction catalogs.

Also in this Book Contemporary political science began to take on its current form during the latter half of the 19th century. It then began to separate itself from political philosophy, which dates from the time and writings of Chanakya, Aristotle, and Plato almost 2,500 years ago. The term "political science" was not always distinguished from political philosophy, and the modern discipline draws on aspects of moral philosophy, political economy, political theology, history, and other fields.

And in this Book In a democracy the political process is the means by which governments are elected, and new governments are formed. It includes a study of political parties and movements that are formed to influence and obtain political power. In non-democratic systems the political process will take different forms, which may also depend on alliances of forces that do not include open and free elections.

About the author

William Wallace Tooker (1848-1917) was recognized as one of his era's leading specialists in Coastal Algonquian culture, history and place names. His interest in Native Americans grew from a childhood fascination. Discovering Indian relics near his home in eastern Long Island, he began to hunt for stone tools and other evidences of Indian life in nearby farm fields and beaches. He was a determined collector; he collected more than 15,000 artifacts. Corresponding with specialists and studying in local libraries in his spare time, he gained a reputation as one of the foremost students of eastern Long Island Indian life. Tooker began to present his papers in front of scholarly organizations such as the American Association for the Advancement of Science. He also published his work in such major scholarly journals as the American Anthropologist and The Archaeologist. As a prolific writer, he published 12 books, some 50 pamphlets and over 100 articles between 1888 and 1911. In 1896 he published Cockenoe-de-Long Island and the Story of His Career from the Early Records: a biography of Cockenoe, a Montauk Indian who rendered great service to settlers and the authorities of New England and New York in the latter half of the 17th century.
