To Promote the General Welfare: The Case for Big Government
ISBN: 9780199858552 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Americans love to hate their government, and a long tradition of anti-government suspicion reaches back to debates among the founders of the nation. But the election of Barack Obama has created a backlash rivaled only by the anti-government hysteria that preceded the Civil War. Lost in all the Tea Party rage and rhetoric is this simple fact: the federal government plays a central role in making our society function, and it always has. Edited by Steven Conn and written by some of America's leading scholars, the essays in To Promote the General Welfare explore the many ways...

ISBN: 9780226114958 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Who were the Native Americans? Where did they come from and how long ago? Did they have a history, and would they have a future? Questions such as these dominated intellectual life in the United States during the nineteenth century. And for many Americans, such questions about the original inhabitants of their homeland inspired a flurry of historical investigation, scientific inquiry, and heated political debate.
History's Shadow traces the struggle of Americans trying to understand the people who originally occupied the continent claimed as their own. Steven Conn considers how the...

Metropolitan Philadelphia: Living with the Presence of the Past
ISBN: 9780812219432 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. As America's fifth largest city and fourth largest metropolitan region, Philadelphia is tied to its surrounding counties and suburban neighborhoods. It is this vital relationship, suggests Steven Conn, that will make or break greater Philadelphia. The Philadelphia region has witnessed virtually every major political, economic, and social transformation of American life. Having once been an industrial giant, the region is now struggling to fashion a new identity in a postindustrial world. On the one hand, Center City has been transformed into a vibrant hub with its array of restaurants,...

Museums and American Intellectual Life, 1876-1926
ISBN: 9780226114934 / Angielski / Miękka / 2000 / 314 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. During the last half of the nineteenth century, many of the country's most celebrated museums were built. In this original and daring study, Steven Conn argues that Americans, endowed with the belief that knowledge resided in objects themselves, built these institutions with the confidence that they could collect, organize, and display the sum of the world's knowledge. Conn discovers how museums gave definition to different bodies of knowledge and how these various museums helped to shape America's intellectual history.

Americans Against the City: Anti-Urbanism in the Twentieth Century
ISBN: 9780190636340 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 394 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. It is a paradox of American life that we are a highly urbanized nation filled with people deeply ambivalent about urban life. An aversion to urban density and all that it contributes to urban life, and a perception that the city was the place where "big government" first took root in America fostered what historian Steven Conn terms the "anti-urban impulse." In response, anti-urbanists called for the decentralization of the city, and rejected the role of government in American life in favor of a return to the pioneer virtues of independence and self-sufficiency. In this provocative and...

Building the Nation: Americans Write about Their Architecture, Their Cities, and Their Landscape
ISBN: 9780812218527 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 424 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Moving away from the standard survey that takes readers from architect to architect and style to style, Building the Nation: Americans Write About Their Architecture, Their Cities, and Their Landscape suggests a wholly new way of thinking about the history of America's built environment and how Americans have related to it. Through an enormous range of American voices, some famous and some obscure, and across more than two centuries of history, this anthology shows that the struggle to imagine what kinds of buildings and land use would best suit the nation pervaded all classes of...

Do Museums Still Need Objects?
ISBN: 9780812221558 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Do Museums Still Need Objects? Steven Conn "Conn's well-written essays centralize objects as the defining feature of museums as they shifted (albeit incompletely) from being places of public instruction to being places of private consumption, from taxonomic exhibits to narrative ones, influenced by the development of the academic disciplines of science, anthropology, and art history. . . . An interesting and significant contribution to the literatures of museum studies and public history."--American Historical Review "Steven Conn provides an eclectic, provocative, and extremely...
