The Fireside Conversations: America Responds to FDR During the Great Depression
ISBN: 9780520265547 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. "My friends, I want to talk for a few minutes with the people of the United States about banking." So began the first of Franklin D. Roosevelt's famous Fireside Chats, which came on the heels of his decision, two days after his inauguration, to close all American banks. During this address, Roosevelt used the intimacy of radio to share his hopes and plans directly with the people. He concluded by encouraging Americans to "tell me your troubles." Roosevelt's invitation was unprecedented, and the enormous public response it elicited signaled the advent of a new relationship between Americans...

Highbrow/Lowbrow: The Emergence of Cultural Hierarchy in America
ISBN: 9780674390775 / Angielski / Miękka / 1990 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In this unusually wide-ranging study, spanning more than a century and covering such diverse forms of expressive culture as Shakespeare, Central Park, symphonies, jazz, art museums, the Marx Brothers, opera, and vaudeville, a leading cultural historian demonstrates how variable and dynamic cultural boundaries have been and how fragile and recent the cultural categories we have learned to accept as natural and eternal are. For most of the nineteenth century, a wide variety of expressive forms--Shakespearean drama, opera, orchestral music, painting and sculpture, as well as the...

Black Culture and Black Consciousness: Afro-American Folk Thought from Slavery to Freedom
ISBN: 9780195305685 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 560 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. When Black Culture and Black Consciousness first appeared thirty years ago, it marked a revolution in our understanding of African American history. Contrary to prevailing ideas at the time, which held that African culture disappeared quickly under slavery and that black Americans had little group pride, history, or cohesiveness, Levine uncovered a cultural treasure trove, illuminating a rich and complex African American oral tradition, including songs, proverbs, jokes, folktales, and long narrative poems called toasts--work that dated from before and after emancipation. The fact...

Defender of the Faith: William Jennings Bryan: The Last Decade 1915-1925
ISBN: 9780674195424 / Angielski / Miękka / 1987 / 400 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Defender of the Faith offers a reinterpretation of William Jennings Bryan in his last years as an unchanging Progressive whose roots were deeply embedded in agrarian populism. It changes the standard picture of Bryan in his final years as that of a crusader for social and economic reform sadly transformed into a reactionary champion of anachronistic rural evangelism, cheap moralistic panaceas, and Florida real estate. He pleaded for for progressive labor laws, liberal taxes, government aid to farmers, public ownership of railroads, telegraphs, and telephones, federal development of...

The Unpredictable Past
ISBN: 9780195082975 / Angielski / Miękka / 1993 / 384 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. "The future is certain," according to an old Soviet joke, "it is only the past that is unpredictable." But it is not solely in totalitarian societies that the past is contested terrain. Disagreements about the meaning and significance of past events and people have been part of the landscape in our own society from its inception. To the historian, therefore, the unpredictability of the past is no laughing matter. Indeed, so protracted have historical disputes become in recent years that there has been a growing conviction among many that the venerable craft of history is in a state of...

ISBN: 9781498501781 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 364 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. No topic could be more relevant in these times than tyranny, "the greatest sickness of the soul." The Charmides of Plato gives us an opportunity to look deeply into the soul or cognitive structure of one of Athens's most notorious tyrants, Critias, and looks deeply into its dialectical opposite, the soul and cognitive structure of Socrates.

Profound Ignorance: Plato's Charmides and the Saving of Wisdom
ISBN: 9781498501767 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 372 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Returning from the battle of Potidaea, Socrates reenters the city only to find it changed, with new leadership in the making. Socrates assumes the mask of physician in order to diagnose the city's condition in the persons of the young and charismatic Charmides and his ambitious and formidable guardian Critias. Beneath the cloak of their self-presentations, Doctor Socrates discovers a profound and communicable disease: their incipient tyranny, "the greatest sickness of the soul." He thereby is able to "foresee" their future and their role in the oligarchy (The Thirty Tyrants) that overthrows...

The Death of an American Jewish Community: A Tragedy of Good Intentions
ISBN: 9780029138663 / Angielski / Miękka / 1993 / 392 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In 1967, leaders of the Boston establishment decided to open the city's neighbourhoods by making mortgage funds available to blacks who wanted to build or buy houses there. But this goal was to be achieved by the private understanding that these mortgages would be available only in Boston's established Jewish neighbourhoods, such as Mattapan. This policy quickly wiped out the tightly knit Jewish areas in Dorchester and nearby Roxbury, once home to 90,000 Jews. Tragically, few of the new black residents of the area acquired adequate housing, security or education for their families, and the...
