Calhoun seeks to solve a mystery: Why has one of America's most famous writers fallen into oblivion?

From Bloody Shirt to Full Dinner Pail: The Transformation of Politics and Governance in the Gilded Age
ISBN: 9780809047949 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 210 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. A short, elegant overview of politics at the close of the nineteenth century In the wake of civil war, American politics were racially charged and intensely sectionalist, with politicians waving the proverbial bloody shirt and encouraging their constituents, as Republicans did in 1868, to "vote as you shot." By the close of the century, however, burgeoning industrial development and the roller-coaster economy of the post-war decades had shifted the agenda to pocketbook concerns--the tariff, monetary policy, business regulation. In From Bloody Shirt to Full... A short, elegant overview of politics at the close of the nineteenth century In the wake of civil war, American politics were racially... |

Conceiving a New Republic: The Republican Party and the Southern Question, 1869-1900
ISBN: 9780700614622 / Angielski / Twarda / 2006 / 358 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. During the late nineteenth century, Republicans struggled to reinvent America in the wake of civil war-and were consumed by the question of how the South should fit within the reconstituted Union. But the unity that Republicans had shown during the war was far from evident in facing this new challenge. Conceiving a New Republic examines the Republicans' ideological struggle, focusing on how party thought--particularly concerning the concept of republicanism--determined the contours of that effort and was in turn shaped by it. In relating how Republicans strove to fashion a new...

Ethics in corporate America has become a bottom-line issue. Scandals such as the junk bond debacle in the late '80s and the recent bankruptcy of Orange County, California, graphically illustrate just how devastating losses from corrupt business practices can be. Closing the rift between a company's public and private face, its avowed as opposed to actual behavior, is now more than ever the concern of the accountant. Examining a firm's business records and practices... "A society without truth--and the related quality of trust--will not long endure." --from the Preface

During the run-up to the 1888 presidential election, Americans flocked to party rallies, marched in endless parades, and otherwise participated zealously in the political process. Although they faced a choice between two uncharismatic candidates--Republican challenger Benjamin Harrison and Democratic incumbent Grover Cleveland--voters took intense interest in the issues they espoused. And though Harrison became one of only four candidates to win the presidency while losing the popular vote, the lasting significance of the election was its foreshadowing of both the modern campaign and the...
