The Strangest Dream Communism, Anticommunism, and the U.S. Peace Movement, 1945-1963 (PB)
ISBN: 9781617350542 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 266 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The Strangest Dream Drawing on extensive archival material and oral history, Robbie Lieberman illustrates how grassroots peace activism in the United States became associated with Communist subversion after World War II. This association gave proponents of the Cold War a powerful weapon with which to try to silence the opposition. This weapon-anticommunism--was extremely effective until the early 1960s and its effects linger even today. The persecution of peace activists as subversives dates back to the colonial era, but the specific link between communism and peace developed out of the...

The Educational Morass: Overcoming the Stalemate in American Education
ISBN: 9781578866229 / Angielski / Twarda / 2007 / 338 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The Educational Morass is about the ineffectiveness of public education in the United States today and why it is unlikely to achieve significant improvement in the absence of heavy external pressure. The reason for these conclusions and what can be done about it are the core of this book. It is an explanation of why the most popular educational reforms are either misguided or practically impossible to achieve. The book also explains why several reforms which would bring about significant improvement are not under consideration. Although a conservative himself, Lieberman asserts that...

Bonfire of the Verities
ISBN: 9781937875305 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 80 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. "Res ipsa loquitor"--the thing speaks for itself--as the lawyers say. But does it? Not in Michael Lieberman's new book of poems, "Bonfire of the Verities." What speaks here is doubt and the commitment to cast aside the apparent truths we all accumulate. Those verities are what are tossed onto Lieberman's bonfire: "Res ipsa loquitor"--the thing speaks for itself--as the lawyers say. But does it? Not in Michael Lieberman's new book of poems, "Bonfire of the Ve... |

The Houstiliad: An Iliad for Houston
ISBN: 9781680030556 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In this savage yet beautiful book length poem Michael Lieberman captures the rage of men in modern society. He reimagines the characters of Homer's Iliad, recasts them, and sets them in conflict in today's Houston. Unflinching is its descriptions of violence, The Houstiliad implicitly contrasts the rage of Homer's Achilles which was specific and focused with the free-floating rage of contemporary men. Though unsparing in its descriptions, Lieberman's portrait is leavened by lovely lyric passages, reflection, and humor. For those who care about the complicated role of men in modern society...

Strange Parallels: Volume 2, Mainland Mirrors: Europe, Japan, China, South Asia, and the Islands: Southeast Asia in Global Context, C.800-1830
ISBN: 9780521823524 / Angielski / Twarda / 2009 / 976 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Blending fine-grained case studies with overarching theory, this book seeks both to integrate Southeast Asia into world history and to rethink much of Eurasia s premodern past. It argues that Southeast Asia, Europe, Japan, China, and South Asia all embodied idiosyncratic versions of a Eurasian-wide pattern whereby local isolates cohered to form ever larger, more stable, more complex political and cultural systems. With accelerating force, climatic, commercial, and military stimuli joined to produce patterns of linear-cum-cyclic construction that became remarkably synchronized even between...

The Theory That Changed Everything: "On the Origin of Species" as a Work in Progress
ISBN: 9780231178082 / Angielski / Twarda / 2017 / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Few people have done as much to change how we view the world as Charles Darwin. Yet On the Origin of Species is more cited than read. Some of it is considered outdated; in some ways, it has been consigned to the nineteenth century. In The Theory That Changed Everything, the renowned cognitive scientist Philip Lieberman demonstrates that there is no better guide to the world's living things than Darwin, as the phenomena that he observed are still being explored at the frontiers of science. In a wide-ranging voyage from Darwin's transformative trip aboard the Beagle to...

Terrible Fate: Ethnic Cleansing in the Making of Modern Europe
ISBN: 9781442223196 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 414 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In the modern Greek city of Thessaloniki, the ruins of a vast Jewish cemetery lie buried under the city s university. Nearby is the site of the childhood home of one of the founders of the modern Turkish state. These are tantalizing reminders of what was once the bustling cosmopolitan city of Salonica, home not just to Greeks but to thousands of Sephardic Jews, Turks, Bulgarians, and Armenians living and working peacefully alongside one another. Thessaloniki is just one example among many of what used to be. Over the past two centuries, ethnic cleansing has remade the map of Central and...

Annals of the North Carolina Jewish Christmas Tree Growers Association: The early years
ISBN: 9781519147974 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 244 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. These articles appeared in the Watauga Democrat in the years 1990 through 1993. This newspaper, published twice weekly at that time, was the newspaper of record in the small town of Boone, North Carolina. The publisher and owner was Rachel Rivers Coffee. Most of my readers were of an older generation. After reading the front page and the obituaries they would generously peruse the wild imaginings of the bald Jew who had settled humbly in their midst. Their calls and letters encouraged me to continue in my mad but consuming endeavor to grow Christmas trees in the mountains of western North...

A fascinating discourse." --Chris Boehm, University of Southern California
