H.S. Camp & Sons, Inc. employed both men. Smith, who was Fetchit's foreman, was not disciplined. In fact, H.S. Camp & Sons, Inc. encouraged its foremen to act much like old South overseers with its black employees to "keep the niggers in line." Twenty years later the United States Equal Employment Opportunity Commission sued H.S. Camp in federal court, alleging in its class...

Mit dem Begriff Festbeschreibung wird ein breites Spektrum von Phanotypen zusammengefasst (Neue Zeitung, lateinisches Epos, Pritschmeisterdichtung, Anthologie diverser Textsorten, illustriertes Diarium), deren gemeinsame Funktion die Vermittlung des hofischen Festes unter zeremoniellen Gesichtspunkten ist. Die Studie zeigt, dass die Topik der Festbeschreibung- im Gegensatz zur Uberwaltigung der Sinne im Fest- auf eine deutliche Reduktion der sinnlichen Komplexitat zielt und allein zeremoniell bedeutsame Zeichen, Handlungen und Namen in den Blick nimmt.

America's Obsessives: The Compulsive Energy That Built a Nation
ISBN: 9781455502387 / Angielski / Twarda / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. When most of us think of Charles Lindbergh, we picture a mild-mannered, 25-year-old aviator stepping out of The Spirit of St. Louis after completing his solo flight across the Atlantic. What we don't see is the boy who made detailed inventories of his toy soldiers. Sure, Lindbergh invented the pre-flight checklist, but his obsession with order also led him to demand that his wife and German mistresses account for all household expenditures in detailed ledgers. Like many of the icons that Joshua Kendall puts on the couch in his new book, Lindbergh is a uniquely American type-the obsessive. And...

Daughter of a Unitarian minister and schoolmaster, the penal reformer and educationist Mary Carpenter (1807 77) grew up in a pious family with a strong sense of obligation to those who were less fortunate. Moved by the appalling circumstances of destitute children in Bristol, she established her first ragged school in 1846. In her bid to improve the difficult lives of juvenile delinquents, her enlightened philosophy was one of rehabilitation rather than retribution, emphasising the importance of giving children a sense of self-worth.
