Helen Taft: Our Musical First Lady
ISBN: 9780700617319 / Angielski / Twarda / 2010 / 228 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In this fascinating study, Lewis L. Gould has brought a shadowy first lady into the light and restored her to a rightful place as a patron of music. Helen Herron Taft came to the White House intent on establishing Washington, D.C., as the nation's cultural capital. A stroke in May 1909 made her a semi-invalid, impaired her speech, and disrupted her agenda. Historians have written her off as a shrewish figure who pushed her portly husband into the presidency. Gould challenges this outdated narrative with new information on Helen Taft's campaign to bring the best of classical music to the...

Few first ladies have enjoyed a better reputation among historians than Edith Kermit Roosevelt. Her admirers say that she never slipped in carrying out her duties as hostess, mother, and adviser to her husband.

My Dearest Nellie: The Letters of William Howard Taft to Helen Herron Taft, 1909-1912
ISBN: 9780700618002 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 318 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Few presidential couples enjoyed a closer relationship in the White House than Will and Nellie Taft. Throughout William Howard Taft's rise in American politics, she had been his most intimate confidant. When circumstances separated them, as when Helen Herron Taft became incapacitated by a stroke and was unable to accompany the president on his storied travels--or was herself on recuperative trips--she pressed him for letters, and he obliged with gossipy correspondence that provides a fascinating account of his presidency at decisive moments in his single term. These 113 letters, all but a...

Lady Bird Johnson
ISBN: 9780700609925 / Angielski / Twarda / 1999 / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Unique among presidents' wives, Lady Bird Johnson was not only one of the leading environmentalists of the twentieth century, she also redefined the institution of First Lady. In this first book in an innovative new series, Lewis Gould shows why Mrs. Johnson ranks with Eleanor Roosevelt as a significant innovator of the First Lady role. Building upon his much admired Lady Bird Johnson and the Environment, Gould has refocused and revised his thinking to create a fresh, informative, and entertaining new portrait of LBJ's First Lady. Using Lady Bird's White House papers and interviews with...

Green Gentrification: Urban sustainability and the struggle for environmental justice
ISBN: 9781138309135 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 182 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Green Gentrification looks at the social consequences of urban "greening" from an environmental justice and sustainable development perspective. Through a comparative examination of five cases of urban greening in Brooklyn, New York, it demonstrates that such initiatives, while positive for the environment, tend to increase inequality and thus undermine the social pillar of sustainable development. Although greening is ostensibly intended to improve environmental conditions in neighborhoods, it generates green gentrification that pushes out the working-class, and people of color, and attracts...

The Modern American Presidency: Second Edition, Revised and Updated
ISBN: 9780700616848 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 360 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. When the first edition of this book appeared in 2003, it was chosen as a Main Selection of both the Book-of-the-Month Club and History Book Club and quickly became the standard work on the modern American presidency--from William McKinley through William Jefferson Clinton. In that original edition, Lewis L. Gould argued that, while the president may be the most powerful man in the world, most presidents have fallen well short of the daunting challenges that confronted them while in office. During George W. Bush's two administrations, as Gould discusses in a substantial new chapter, those...

Imagine a presidential election with four well-qualified and distinguished candidates and a serious debate over the future of the nation Sound impossible in this era of attack ads and strident partisanship? It happened nearly a century ago in 1912, when incumbent Republican William Howard Taft, former president Theodore Roosevelt running as the Progressive Party candidate, Democratic nominee Woodrow Wilson, and Socialist candidate Eugene V.

Chief Executive to Chief Justice: Taft Betwixt the White House and Supreme Court
ISBN: 9780700620012 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. As our 27th president from 1909 to 1913, and then as chief justice of the Supreme Court from 1921 to 1930, William Howard Taft was the only man ever to lead two of America's three governing branches. But between these two well-documented periods in office, there lies an eight-year patch of largely unexplored political wilderness. It was during this time, after all, that Taft somehow managed to rise from his ignominious defeat by both Woodrow Wilson and Theodore Roosevelt in the 1912 election to achieve his lifelong goal of becoming chief justice. In the first in-depth look at this period in...

1968: The Election That Changed America
ISBN: 9781566638623 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The race for the White House in 1968 was a watershed event in American politics. In this brilliantly succinct narrative analysis, Lewis Gould shows how the events of that tumultuous year changed the way Americans felt about politics and their national leaders. Bitterness over racial issues and the Vietnam War that marked the 1968 election continued to shape national affairs and to rile American society for years afterward. And the election accelerated an erosion of confidence in American institutions that has not yet reached a conclusion. In his lucid account, now revised and updated, Mr....
