The Super Gospel: A Harmony of Ancient Gospels
ISBN: 9781936533053 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 362 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. One of the great hallmarks of the four canonical gospels is that despite their many similarities, each of them presents Jesus in a slightly different way. Even so, there were far more than four gospels that emerged during the early years of Christianity. In fact, there were, dozens, perhaps hundreds of gospels, each focusing different periods of Jesus' life, as well as differing aspects of his teaching and ministry. Could there be the same unity between these gospels as there is between the four? One way to find out would be to combine them all into a single work and simply see what kind of...

The Dying President, 1: Franklin D. Roosevelt, 1944-1945
ISBN: 9780826211712 / Angielski / Twarda / 1998 / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In this authoritative account, Robert H. Ferrell shows how the treatment of President Franklin D. Roosevelt's illness in 1944- 1945 was managed by none other than the president himself. Although this powerful American president knew that he suffered from cardiovascular disease, he went to great lengths to hide that fact--both from his physician and from the public. Why Roosevelt disguised the nature of his illness may be impossible to discern fully. He was a secretive man who liked to assign only parts of tasks to his assistants so that he, the president, would be the only one who knew the... In this authoritative account, Robert H.

Grace Coolidge: The People's Lady in Silent Cal's White House
ISBN: 9780700615636 / Angielski / Twarda / 2008 / 198 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. When Grace Anna Goodhue wed Calvin Coolidge in 1905, she thought then that marriage "has seldom united two people of more vastly different temperaments and tastes." Warm and vivacious to her husband's dour and taciturn, Grace was to be a contrast to Calvin for years to come. But as Robert Ferrell shows, their marriage ensured her husband's rise to high office. Ferrell focuses on Grace Coolidge's years in the White House, 1923-1929. Although the president did his best to rein her in--even forbidding her to speak on public issues--Grace quickly became one of the most popular and stylish of...

ISBN: 9780826216236 / Angielski / Twarda / 2006 / 184 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Ever since the presidency of Richard M. Nixon, scholars have been in a quandary over how much they really know about our country s presidents. Nixon, as is now understood, was unstable in personality.

Many Americans have difficulty penetrating the public persona of their leaders. But to know the private side of such figures the cores of their being is important, because this side often governs what they do publicly. In "Presidential Leadership," Robert...
