Provocative, divisive, and sometimes even threatening, First Amendment issues have been at the forefront of civic discourse since the founding of the nation. Today is no different, with the U.S. Supreme Court hearing a challenge to the Federal Communication Commission’s decision to penalize television networks for airing “fleeting expletives,” churches testing IRS regulations prohibiting political campaigning, and states considering legislation to regulate cyber bullying by classmates. Encyclopedia of the First Amendment is an excellent resource for anyone who wants to learn more about broadcast regulation, the establishment of religion clause, students’ rights, or a myriad of other topics involving the First Amendment and its political, cultural, and legal significance. The 1,400 topical entries that form the core of the work appear in traditional A–Z format and range from 250 to 1,500 words depending on the significance or complexity of the subject. All entries are signed, include cross-references, and cite at least one primary or secondary source. Relevant court decisions, laws, governmental entities, organizations, and people who have been integrally involved with the development and interpretation of the First Amendment are covered, along with critical legal concepts and methods of interpretation. Issues ranging from abortion protests to wiretapping are discussed. The rights of prisoners, students, members of the military, teachers, and reporters are covered, as are concepts such as Community standards and Prior restraint. The encyclopedia is packed with well-designed reader aids, including alphabetical and topical tables of contents, a case table of contents, a foreword by the founder of the First Amendment Center, a chronology that begins in 313 with Emperor Constantine’s extension of religious toleration to Christianity, and seven introductory essays. These essays provide an overview of each of the provisions of the amendment and discuss the application of the First Amendment to the states, the amendment’s influence worldwide, and its future. Along with the foreword, they help the reader appreciate the history, development, and importance of First Amendment freedoms and the ongoing challenges and threats to them. The work concludes with a list of online resources, a bibliography, and thorough case and subject indexes. Highly recommended for academic, public, and law libraries.

01 - USA1 - Sarah E. Chinn - Technology and the Logic of American ...acism, A Cultural History of the Body As Evidence 2000.jpg

An exploration of technology and the logic of American racism. Sarah E. Chinn pulls together what seem to be opposite discourses - the information-driven languages of law and medicine and the subjective logics of racism - to examine a range of primary social case studies such as the American Red Cross's lamentable decision to segregate black blood during World War II and its ramifications for American culture, and more recent examples revealing the eugenicist roots of criminology such as the trial of O.J. Simpson. She also analyzes several key American literary texts such as Mark Twain's novel "Pudd'nhead Wilson", the plot of which turns issues of racial identity, and which was written at a time when scientific and popular interest in evidence of the body - not only in fingerprinting, but in phrenology and blood typing -was at a peak. Through her analysis of the history of science, US popular culture, sensationalized court cases, forensic technology and literary texts, the author reveals how in the United States issues of blood and skin have been manipulated to bear the evidence of racial identity during the 20th century.

Martin Manning - Historical Dictionary of America n Propaganda (2004).jpg

From the French and Indian War in 1754, with Benjamin Franklin's Join or Die cartoon, to the present war in Iraq, propaganda has played a significant role in American history. The Historical Dictionary of American Propaganda provides more than 350 entries, focusing primarily on propaganda created by the U.S. government throughout its existence. Two specialists, one a long-time research librarian at the U.S. Information Agency (the USIA) and the State Department's Bureau of Diplomacy, and the other a former USIA Soviet Disinformation Officer, Martin J. Manning and Herbert Romerstein bring a profound knowledge of official U.S. propaganda to this reference work. The dictionary is further enriched by a substantial bibliography, including films and videos, and an outstanding annotated list of more than 105 special collections worldwide that contain material important to the study of U.S. propaganda.

Students, researchers, librarians, faculty, and interested general readers will find the Historical Dictionary of American Propaganda an authoritative ready-reference work for quick information on a wide range of events, publications, media, people, government agencies, government plans, organizations, and symbols that provided mechanisms to promote America's interests, both abroad and domestically, in peace and in war. Almost all entries conclude with suggestions for further research, and the topically arranged bibliography provides a further comprehensive listing of important resources, including films and videos.

Michael Burlingame - With Lincoln in the White Hou se, Letters. Memoranda, and other Writings of John G. Nicolay, 1860-1865 (2000).jpg

01 - USA1 - Michael Burlingame - With Lincoln in the White House, ... and other Writings of John G. Nicolay, 1860-1865 2000.jpg

From the time of Lincoln's nomination for the presidency until his assassination, John G. Nicolay served as the Civil War president's chief personal secretary. Nicolay became an intimate of Lincoln and probably knew him as well as anyone outside his own family. Unlike John Hay, his subordinate, Nicolay kept no diary, but he did write several memoranda recording his chief's conversation that shed direct light on Lincoln. In his many letters to Hay, to his fiancee, Therena Bates, and to others, Nicolay often describes the mood at the White House as well as events there. He also expresses opinions that were almost certainly shaped by the president
For this volume, Michael Burlingame includes all of Nicolay's memoranda of conversations, all of the journal entries describing Lincoln's activities, and excerpts from most of the nearly three hundred letters Nicolay wrote to Therena Bates between 1860 and 1865. He includes letters and portions of letters that describe Lincoln or the mood at the White House or that give Nicolay's personal opinions. He also includes letters written by Nicolay while on troubleshooting missions for the president. An impoverished youth, Nicolay was an unlikely candidate for the important position he held during the Civil War. It was only over the strong objections of some powerful people that he became Lincoln's private secretary after Lincoln's nomination for the presidency in 1860. Prominent Chicago Republican Herman Kreismann found the appointment of a man so lacking in savoir faire "ridiculous." Henry Martin Smith, city editor of the Chicago Tribune, called Nicolay's appointment a national loss. Henry C. Whitney was surprised that the president would appoint a "nobody." Lacking charm, Nicolay became known at the White House as the "bulldog in the ante-room" with a disposition "sour and crusty." California journalist Noah Brooks deemed Nicolay a "grim Cerberus of Teutonic descent who guards the last door which opens into the awful presence." Yet in some ways he was perfectly suited for the difficult job. William O. Stoddard, noting that Nicolay was not popular and could "say 'no' about as disagreeably as any man I ever knew," still granted that Nicolay served Lincoln well because he was devoted and incorruptible. Stoddard concluded that Nicolay "deserves the thanks of all who loved Mr. Lincoln." For his part, Nicolay said he derived his greatest satisfaction "from having enjoyed the privilege and honor of being Mr. Lincoln's intimate and official private secretary, and of earning his cordial friendship and perfect trust
