Darwinism in the Press: The Evolution of an Idea
ISBN: 9780805805215 / Angielski / Miękka / 1989 / 184 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Numerous books and articles have outlined Darwin's impact on American scientists, philosophers, businessmen, and clergy in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Few, however, have undertaken a study of Darwinism in the form in which it was presented to most Americans -- popular newspapers and magazines. The main concern of this book is to identify how the press is treated as a part of our culture - - pointing to its ability to shape and to be shaped by the forces that act on the rest of society and its ability to be critical in the interpretation of ideas for the masses.

The Scopes Trial: A Photographic History
ISBN: 9781572330818 / Angielski / Miękka / 2000 / 88 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. It was a big story in a small place. During the summer of 1925, the tiny hamlet of Dayton, Tennessee, became the setting for one of the most controversial trials in American history. In a move designed partly as a publicity scheme and partly as a means to test a newly enacted anti-evolution law, a young teacher named John Thomas Scopes agreed to be arrested for teaching Darwin's theory of natural selection in the public schools. The resulting courtroom showdown pitted Clarence Darrow, the brilliant trial lawyer and self-proclaimed agnostic, against Williams Jennings Bryan, three-time...

Intelligently Designed: How Creationists Built the Campaign Against Evolution
ISBN: 9780252079528 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Tracing the growth of creationism in America as a political movement, this book explains why the particularly American phenomenon of anti-evolution has succeeded as a popular belief. Conceptualizing the history of creationism as a strategic public relations campaign, Edward Caudill examines why this movement has captured the imagination of the American public, from the explosive Scopes trial of 1925 to today's heated battles over public school curricula. Caudill shows how creationists have appealed to cultural values such as individual rights and admiration of the rebel spirit, thus spinning...

Sherman's March in Myth and Memory
ISBN: 9780742550278 / Angielski / Twarda / 2008 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. General William Tecumseh Sherman's devastating "March to the Sea" in 1864 burned a swath through the cities and countryside of Georgia and into the history of the American Civil War. As they moved from Atlanta to Savannah--destroying homes, buildings, and crops; killing livestock; and consuming supplies--Sherman and the Union army ignited not only southern property, but also imaginations, in both the North and the South. By the time of the general's death in 1891, when one said "The March," no explanation was required. That remains true today. Legends and myths about Sherman began forming...

Inventing Custer: The Making of an American Legend
ISBN: 9781442251861 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 388 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Custer s Last Stand remains one of the most iconic events in American history and culture. Had Custer prevailed at the Little Bighhorn, the victory would have been noteworthy at the moment, worthy of a few newspaper headlines. In defeat, however tactically inconsequential in the larger conflict, Custer became legend. In Inventing Custer: The Making of an American Legend, Edward Caudill and Paul Ashdown bridge the gap between the Custer who lived and the one we ve immortalized and mythologized into legend. While too many books about Custer treat the Civil War period only as a prelude to the...
