PROFESSOR'S JEFFERSON BOOK TO BE PUBLISHED

Clinch Valley College professor Garrett W. Sheldon has written a book on Thomas Jefferson to be published this summer by The Johns Hopkins University Press.

"The Political Philosophy of Thomas Jefferson" examines the historical development of Jefferson's political theory from the colonial period through the American Revolution and the founding of the nation.

It also addresses an ongoing debate over the influences of John Locke liberalism and classical Republicanism on 18th-century political ideas and shows how Jefferson combined the two philosophical perspectives.

Sheldon, 36, is associate professor of political science and chair of the college's Social Science Department. - Southwest bureau
