Little 'Red Scares': Anti-Communism and Political Repression in the United States, 1921-1946
ISBN: 9781138290501 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 380 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Anti-communism has long been a potent force in American politics, capable of gripping both government and popular attention. Nowhere is this more evident that the two great 'red scares' of 1919-20 and 1946-54; the latter generally - if somewhat inaccurately - termed McCarthyism. The interlude between these two major scares has tended to garner less attention, but as this volume makes clear, the lingering effects of 1919-20 and the gathering storm-clouds of 'McCarthyism' were clearly visible throughout the 20s and 30s, even if in a more low-key way. Indeed, the period between the two great red...

Burning the Flag: The Great 1989 - 1990 American Flag Desecration Controversy
ISBN: 9780873385985 / Angielski / Miękka / 1996 / 476 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. "In 1989, the Supreme Court ruled that dissidents had a constitutional right under the First Amendment to burn the flag. During the Bush Administration, Congress passed the Flag Protection Act (FPA), and so doing reflected the broad spectrum of opinion that saw the flag as a sacred symbol of American freedoms. Robert Justin Goldstein's Burning the Flag thoughtfully draws on the disciplines of law, political science and history to analyze the controversy in all its dimensions."-- London Review of Books"Goldstein has written a wonderfully comprehensive and highly readable history and analysis...

American Blacklist: The Attorney General's List of Subversive Organizations
ISBN: 9780700616046 / Angielski / Twarda / 2008 / 384 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Resonating with disturbing implications for the present, American Blacklist is the only full-length study of the so-called Attorney General's List of Subversive Organizations (AGLOSO) and its critical role in the post-World War II Red Scare. Although earlier versions of AGLOSO date back as far as 1903 and were wielded by the federal government during both the post-World War I Red Scare and World War II, they were not widely publicized. But beginning in December 1947, as part of the Truman administration's loyalty program, the federal government engaged in a massive effort to publicize the...

Discrediting the Red Scare: The Cold War Trials of James Kutcher, the Legless Veteran
ISBN: 9780700622252 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. During the Allies' invasion of Italy in the thick of World War II, American soldier James Kutcher was hit by a German mortar shell and lost both of his legs. Back home, rehabilitated and given a job at the Veterans' Administration, he was soon to learn that his battles were far from over. In 1948, in the throes of the post-war Red Scare, the hysteria over perceived Communist threats that marked the Cold War, the government moved to fire Kutcher because of his membership in a small, left-wing group that had once espoused revolutionary sentiments. Kutcher's eight-year legal odyssey to clear his...

Political Censorship of the Arts and the Press in Nineteenth-Century
ISBN: 9781349201303 / Angielski / Miękka / 1989 / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Political Censorship of the Arts and the Press in Nineteenth-Century Europe presents a comprehensive account of the attempts by authorities throughout Europe to stifle the growth of political opposition during the nineteenth-century by censoring newspapers, books, caricatures, plays, operas and film. Appeals for democracy and social reform were especially suspect to the authorities, so in Russia cookbooks which refered to 'free air' in ovens were censored as subversive, while in England in 1829 the censor struck from a play the remark that 'honest men at court don't take up much room'....

"All essays are well researched and clearly written, with invaluable extensive bibliographies.

Flag Burning & Free Speech
ISBN: 9780700610549 / Angielski / Miękka / 2000 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In a free society where it often seems nothing is sacred, many feel that one thing at least should be: that despite constitutional guarantees of free speech, it should be illegal to desecrate the American flag. For most Americans, no symbol is more charged with emotion, and incidents of its abuse have led many to declare that freedom of expression has its limits. When Gregory Lee Johnson burned a flag as part of a political protest, he was convicted for flag desecration under Texas law, but the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals reversed the conviction on First Amendment grounds and the...

Surface Waves in Anisotropic and Laminated Bodies and Defects Detection
ISBN: 9781402023866 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 321 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Among the variety of wave motions one can single out surface wave pr- agation since these surface waves often adjust the features of the energy transfer in the continuum (system), its deformation and fracture. Predicted by Rayleigh in 1885, surface waves represent waves localized in the vicinity ofextendedboundaries(surfaces)of?uidsorelasticmedia. Intheidealcase of an isotropic elastic half-space while the Rayleigh waves propagate along the surface, the wave amplitude (displacement) in the transverse direction exponentially decays with increasing distance away from the surface. As a...

The most urgent problems in relation to surface wave analysis & applications, which are comprehensively discussed here, are: Development of an adequate theory to analyze the forbidden direction problem for genuine surface waves; analyzing nonclassical surface waves propagating in forbidden directions; development of efficient numerical methods and algorithms to analyze surface waves (including Love and Lamb waves) propagating in homogeneous and layered media with both arbitrary elastic anisotropy and plasticity and having a complex internal structure; development of experimental and...

Political Repression in 19th Century Europe
ISBN: 9781138200432 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 428 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Originally published in 1983. The nineteenth century was a time of great economic, social and political change. As Europe modernized, previously ignorant and apathetic elements in the population began to demand political freedoms. There was pressure also for a freer press, for the rights of assembly and association. The apprehension of the existing elites manifested itself in an intensification of often brutal form of political repression. The first part of this book summarizes on a pan-European basis, the major techniques of repression such as the denial of popular franchise and press... Originally published in 1983.
