Religion and American Culture: A Reader
ISBN: 9780415942737 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 568 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Today the study of American religion continues to move away from an older, European American, male, middle-class, northeastern, Protestant narrative concerned primarily with churches and theology and toward a multicultural tale of Native Americans, African Americans, Catholics, Jews and other groups. Many of these new studies cut across boundaries of gender, class, and region, and pay particular attention to popular religion. Most current textbooks remain wed to the older Protestant narrative. The purpose of this reader is to expose students to a broad overview of the work emerging from this...

That Religion in Which All Men Agree: Freemasonry in American Culture
ISBN: 9780520287600 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This powerful study weaves the story of Freemasonry into the narrative of American religious history. Freighted with the mythical legacies of stonemasons guilds and the Newtonian revolution, English Freemasonry arrived in colonial America with a vast array of cultural baggage, which was drawn on, added to, and transformed during its sojourn through American culture. David G. Hackett argues that from the 1730s through the early twentieth century the religious worlds of an evolving American social order broadly appropriated the beliefs and initiatory practices of this all-male society. For much...

Winner of the Pritzker Literature Award for Lifetime Achievement in Military Writing In this sweeping, enthralling biography, acclaimed historian David Hackett Fischer brings to life the remarkable Samuel de Champlain--soldier, spy, master mariner, explorer, cartographer, artist, and Father of New France. Born on France's Atlantic coast, Champlain grew to manhood in a country riven by religious warfare. The historical record is unclear on whether Champlain was baptized Protestant or Catholic, but he fought in France's religious wars for the man who would become Henri IV, one of...

The Buchenwald Report
ISBN: 9780813333632 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 424 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In the closing weeks of World War II, advancing Allied armies uncovered the horror of the Nazi concentration camps. The first camp to be liberated in western Germany was Buchenwald, on 11th April 1945. Within days, a team of German-speaking intelligence officers from the US Army was dispatched to Buchenwald to interview the prisoners there. In the short time available to them before the inmates' final release, the team prepared a report to be used against the Nazis in future war-crimes trials. Nowhere else was such a systematic effort made to talk with prisoners and record their first-hand...

The Rude Hand of Innovation: Religion and Social Order in Albany, New York, 1652-1836
ISBN: 9780195065138 / Angielski / Twarda / 1991 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This path-breaking study analyzes the social and religious transformation of Albany, New York, from the town's colonial origins through industrialization in the early nineteenth century. Rather than see the transformation of traditional societies as a process of modernization, Hackett adopts a broader conception of religion as a cultural system and argues that culture influences social order differently in different historical periods. During most of Albany's colonial period, the Dutch townspeople absorbed British people and customs into their Calvinist way of life. Following the Revolution,...

Paul Revere's Ride
ISBN: 9780195098310 / Angielski / Miękka / 1995 / 464 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Paul Revere's midnight ride looms as an almost mythical event in American history--yet it has been largely ignored by scholars and left to patriotic writers and debunkers. Now one of the foremost American historians offers the first serious look at the events of the night of April 18, 1775--what led up to it, what really happened, and what followed--uncovering a truth far more remarkable than the myths of tradition. In Paul Revere's Ride, David Hackett Fischer fashions an exciting narrative that offers deep insight into the outbreak of revolution and the emergence of the American...

Liberty and Freedom
ISBN: 9780195162530 / Angielski / Twarda / 2004 / 851 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Liberty and freedom: Americans agree that these values are fundamental to our nation, but what do they mean? How have their meanings changed through time? In this new volume of cultural history, David Hackett Fischer shows how these varying ideas form an intertwined strand that runs through the core of American life.
Fischer examines liberty and freedom not as philosophical or political abstractions, but as folkways and popular beliefs deeply embedded in American culture. Tocqueville called them "habits of the heart." From the earliest colonies, Americans have shared ideals of liberty and...

The Great Wave: Price Revolutions and the Rhythym of History
ISBN: 9780195053777 / Angielski / Twarda / 1996 / 552 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. David Hackett Fischer, one of our most prominent historians, has garnered a reputation for making history come alive--even stories as familiar as Paul Revere's ride, or as complicated as the assimilation of British culture in North America. Now, in The Great Wave, Fischer has done it again, marshaling an astonishing array of historical facts in lucid and compelling prose to outline a history of prices--"the history of change," as Fischer puts it--covering the dazzling sweep of Western history from the medieval glory of Chartres to the modern day. Going far beyond the economic data, Fischer...

Fairness and Freedom: A History of Two Open Societies: New Zealand and the United States
ISBN: 9780199832705 / Angielski / Twarda / 2012 / 656 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Fairness and Freedom compares the history of two open societies--New Zealand and the United States--with much in common. Both have democratic polities, mixed-enterprise economies, individuated societies, pluralist cultures, and a deep concern for human rights and the rule of law. But all of these elements take different forms, because constellations of value are far apart. The dream of living free is America's Polaris; fairness and natural justice are New Zealand's Southern Cross.
Fischer asks why these similar countries went different ways. Both were founded by English-speaking... Fairness and Freedom compares the history of two open societies--New Zealand and the United States--with much in common. Both have democratic polities...

Washington's Crossing
ISBN: 9780195181593 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 576 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Six months after the Declaration of Independence, the American Revolution was all but lost. A powerful British force had routed the Americans at New York, occupied three colonies, and advanced within sight of Philadelphia. Yet, as David Hackett Fischer recounts in this riveting history, George Washington--and many other Americans--refused to let the Revolution die. On Christmas night, as a howling nor'easter struck the Delaware Valley, he led his men across the river and attacked the exhausted Hessian garrison at Trenton, killing or capturing nearly a thousand men. A second battle of...

Albion's Seed: Four British Folkways in America
ISBN: 9780195069051 / Angielski / Miękka / 1991 / 984 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This fascinating book is the first volume in a projected cultural history of the United States, from the earliest English settlements to our own time. It is a history of American folkways as they have changed through time, and it argues a thesis about the importance for the United States of having been British in its cultural origins. While most people in the United States today have no British ancestors, they have assimilated regional cultures which were created by British colonists, even while preserving ethnic identities at the same time. In this sense, nearly all Americans are...
