"The story of the constitutional showdown over Native Americans' religious use of peyote" With the grace of a novel, this book chronicles the six-year duel between two remarkable men with different visions of religious freedom in America.

American Epic: Reading the U.S. Constitution
ISBN: 9780199389711 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In 1987, E.L. Doctorow celebrated the Constitution's bicentennial by reading it. "It is five thousand words long but reads like fifty thousand," he said. Distinguished legal scholar Garrett Epps--himself an award-winning novelist--disagrees. It's about 7,500 words. And Doctorow "missed a good deal of high rhetoric, many literary tropes, and even a trace of, if not wit, at least irony," he writes. Americans may venerate the Constitution, "but all too seldom is it read." In American Epic, Epps takes us through a complete reading of the Constitution--even the "boring" parts--to...

With a novelist's eye for biographical detail, Epps has written an . . . enthralling book."--David W. Blight, Chicago Tribune The last battle of the Civil War wasn't fought at Appomattox by dashing generals or young soldiers but by middle-aged men in frock coats. Yet it was war all the same--a desperate struggle for the soul and future of the new American Republic that was rising from the ashes of Civil War. It was the battle that planted the seeds of democracy, under the bland heading "Amendment XIV." Scholars call it the "Second Constitution." Over... "Engaging . . . With a novelist's eye for biographical detail, Epps has written an . . . enthralling book."--David W. Blight, Chicago Tribune... |

The First Amendment, Freedom of the Press: Its Constitutional History and the Contempory Debate

The press in the United States is freer than in any other country in the world, and virtually any in history.
