Portraits of a King Favored by God: David the King: God's Poet, Warrior, and Statesman
ISBN: 9781611434057 / Angielski / Twarda / 2012 / 269 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. David the king, when studied against the backdrop of existing material cultural remains from the ancient Middle East, scarcely seems to have been there. Excavations in Jerusalem have turned up nothing concrete about his existence. The literature concerning him is fraught with problems and generally takes on a legendary-mythological character. Even the meaning of his name is unclear. If he is mentioned at all by his contemporary monarchs against whom he would have fought it is only obliquely or only intimated by omissions or partial spellings in context. This volume attempts to advance...

Message Production: Advances in Communication Theory
ISBN: 9780805823240 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 368 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The last two decades have seen the development of a number of models that have proven particularly important in advancing understanding of message-production processes. Now it appears that a second generation of theories is emerging, one that reflects considerable conceptual advances over earlier models. This text focuses on these new developments in theoretical approaches to verbal and nonverbal message production. The chapters reflect a number of characteristics and trends resident in these theories including: the nature and source of interaction goals; the impact of physiological factors...

Between Damnation and Starvation: Priests and Merchants in Newfoundland Politics, 1745-1855
ISBN: 9780773521957 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 340 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. While some scholars have focused on various aspects of the denominational origins of the education system, and others have revealed the influence of religion on the electoral results of the pre-1864 period, the complete story has never been told. In Between Damnation and Starvation John Greene presents a first time, far-reaching analysis of the origins and evolution of developments in both religion and politics in Newfoundland. He reveals the full details of political struggles, presenting them against the background of the historical evolution of churches in the century prior to the...

I Like Ike: The Presidential Election of 1952
ISBN: 9780700624041 / Angielski / Twarda / 2017 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. When the 1952 presidential election campaign began, many assumed it would be a race between Harry Truman, seeking his second full term, and Robert A. Taft, son of a former president and, to many of his fellow partisans, "Mr. Republican." No one imagined the party standard bearers would be Illinois governor Adlai E. Stevenson II and Supreme Allied Commander in World War II, Dwight D. Eisenhower.. I Like Ike tells the story of a critical election fought between two avowedly reluctant warriors, including Truman's efforts to recruit Eisenhower as the candidate of the Democrat Party--to a...

The Nixon-Ford Years
ISBN: 9780816052806 / Angielski / Twarda / 2006 / 816 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Born in 1913 in Yorba Linda, California, Richard Nixon became the 37th president of the United States. After winning a second term in office in 1972, he was forced to resign at the threat of impeachment for his involvement with the Watergate scandal. Vice President Gerald Ford stepped in as acting president, but had little success gaining favor with the American public as they recovered from both the scandal of his predecessor and the Vietnam War. "The Nixon-Ford Years" is an informative reference to these administrations. A section of more than 350 biographical entries covers all the key...

The Presidency of Gerald R. Ford
ISBN: 9780700606399 / Angielski / Miękka / 1994 / 270 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This is the first comprehensive study of one of our most popular yet most misunderstood presidents. Reaching well beyond the image of Ford as "healer" of a war-torn and scandal-ridden nation, John Robert Greene extends and revises our understanding of Ford's struggles to restore credibility to the presidency in the wake of Watergate and Vietnam. Few presidents had ever been asked to achieve so much in so little time against such great adversity. Greene shows that Ford's efforts to lead the nation were severely hampered by Nixon's misdeeds, by America's ignominious disengagement from an...

America in the Sixties

Sandwiched between the placid fifties and the flamboyant seventies, the sixties, a decade of tumultuous change and stunning paradoxes, is often reduced to a series of slogans, symbols, and media images. In America in the Sixties, Greene goes beyond the cliches and synthesizes thirty years of research, writing, and teaching on one of the most turbulent decades of the twentieth century.

The Limits of Power: The Nixon and Ford Administrations
ISBN: 9780253326379 / Angielski / Twarda / 1992 / 316 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This book argues the thesis that during the Nixon and Ford administrations America discovered the limits of its power, and that both presidents had, therefore, to adjust to new realities in both their domestic and their international activities. It was also the period when the American people first insisted on certain limits to presidential activity, and even forced a powerful president from office for that reason. Like the distinguished preceding volumes in this series by Charles Alexander on Eisenhower and Jim Heath on the Kennedy-Johnson years, John Greene's book provides a balanced...
