Black Americans of Achievement - Anne M. Todd - Ch ris Rock, Comedian and Actor (2006).jpg

On Sunday evening, February 7, 1965, three weeks before her due date, Rose Rock gave birth to her first son, Chris, at Georgetown Memorial Hospital in Georgetown, South Carolina. Rose and her husband, Julius, lived just 15 miles from Georgetown, in a town called Andrews. For the previous decade, the civil
rights movement had been gathering force. Just two years before Chris’s birth, more than 200,000 people gathered to join the March on Washington in Washington, D.C., where they had the honor of listening to the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., deliver his “I Have a Dream” speech.

Richard Davis - Electing Justice, Fixing the Supre me Court Nomination Process (2006).jpg

Davis discusses the increasing role of interest groups, the press, and the public, whose role is not prescribed in the Constitution, in the selection and confirmation of Supreme Court justices and how it affects the process. First he examines in detail the history and nature of the process, then he looks at the role and impact of other players. His conclusions about how non-political actors affect the outcome of Supreme Court justice selection leads him at the end of his book to suggest controversial reforms and their prospects for success.

Agnes Regan Perkins - Dictionary of American Young Adult Fiction, 1997-2001, Books of Recognized Mer it (2004).jpg

01 - USA1 - Agnes Regan Perkins - Dictionary of American Young Adu...ult Fiction, 1997-2001, Books of Recognized Merit 2004.jpg

The authors, both professors of English language and literature, have added another dictionary of American fiction to their previously published dictionaries covering children's literature from 1859 to 1999 (also published by Greenwood). By turning their attention to young adult fiction, they have created a volume that will serve middle- and high-school and public librarians. This collection of 741 alphabetically arranged title, author, and character entries covers 290 books and 242 authors. The included books are recipients of the Printz or Alex awards or appeared on the ALA Best Books for Young Adults, New York Public Library Books for the Teen Age, or Booklist Adult Books for Young Adults lists between 1997 and 2001.

All entries are written in narrative format, which makes quick reference for bibliographic or other information difficult. Title entries note the subgenre and give a plot summary that is usually very detailed and comprises most of the entry. A brief critical assessment is provided, as are abbreviations for the award list or lists on which the book appears. Author entries are usually much shorter and focus on the aspects of the person's life most relevant to literature. Character entries include physical or personality traits, how the character functions in the story, and how he or she relates to other characters. These entries are often long and convoluted, as are some plot summaries, requiring familiarity with the book being discussed. Characters are listed the way in which they are most often referred to, sometimes listed alphabetically under Mr., Mrs., or Miss. Asterisks serve to indicate cross-references within the volume.

The index is extremely detailed and runs more than 140 pages, with main entries in capital letters and book titles in italics. There is also a listing of included titles by the awards they received. Although the dictionary may include more information than is needed on a daily basis, the capability to cross-reference a title with its author and characters is a positive feature. Recommended for school and public libraries. Rochelle Glantz

Michael L. Mezey - Representative Democracy, Legis lators and their Constituents (2008).jpg

Although we tend to use the terms _representative democracy_ and _democracy_ as synonyms, they are not. Democracy means that the people govern; representative democracy means that the people elect others to govern for them. This raises the question of the extent to which representative government approximates democracy, a question that turns on the relationship between representatives and those whom they represent. Rich in thoughtful analysis, Representative Democracy incorporates normative, empirical, and comparative perspectives on representation. It is perfectly suited for use in an upper-level course on the legislative process or Congress.

Jarol B. Manheim - Biz-War and the Out-of-Power El ite, The Progressive-Left Attack on the Corporatio n (2004).jpg

This book tells the fascinating story of the reemergence of the American political left over the last quarter century in the form of the new Progressive Movement. Born out of Liberalism's crushing defeats at the hands of conservative strategists of the Reagan/Bush era, this new movement has cleverly reverse engineered the conservative's institutional networking strategy to plan and finance its resurgence. Progressive strategists have constructed an elaborate network of foundations, advocacy groups, and other institutions to advance their agenda. But where the conservatives relied on affirmative corporate support to help power their movement, the Progressive Left has used an anti-corporate strategy whose purpose is three-fold:...

John Hughes-Wilson - Military Intelligence Blunder s (2000).jpg

This book tells the stories behind some of the world's most disastrous military mistakes, whether caused by faulty information, bad interpretation, cunning plans to deceive the intelligence gatherers or leaders who won't listen to what they are told. It is an analysis of the "intelligence cycle" that turns raw data into useful information about capabilities and intentions and then brings it to the attention of the decision-makers. Who uses many examples of all kinds of extraordinary decisions and deceptions from history to show how often and badly things can go wrong

01 - USA1 - Michael D. Bordo, Claudia Goldin, Eugene N. White - Th...nd the American Economy in the Twentieth Century 1997.jpg

The Great Depression is the " defining moment" to which most historians, economists, and political scientists connect the origins of the economic and social policies that have characterized American government in the second half of the twentieth century. In the most comprehensive collection of essays available on these topics, The Defining Moment evaluates the extent to which the Great Depression was a watershed period in the history of the American economy. This volume concludes that a large role of today's government and its methods of intervention derive from the crisis years of the 1930s. Sixty years later, the basic imprint of the defining moment is still visible.

Cark Sifakis - The Mafia Encyclopedia (1999).jpeg

They're all there, starting with Anthony Joseph Accardo (1906-1992), the Chicago mob leader known as Tony to crime pals, Mr. Accardo to underlings, Joe Batters to his subordinates, and as "having more brains before breakfast than Al Capone had all day" to syndicate supporters, and working through the alphabet to Abner "Longy" Zwillman (1899-1959), a crime-syndicate founder and New Jersey boss, one of the most feared of the Jewish Mafia, known as the "Al Capone of new Jersey," and much revered for his love affair with Jean Harlow.
Between Accardo and Zwillman, Carl Sifakis explores the lives, reputations, exploits, and subcultures of more than 450 Mafia perpetrators and personalities. Sifakis describes the individuals, codes of behavior, misdeeds, legal scrapes, rivalries, and flamboyant lifestyles associated with the world of organized crime--an entity whose existence J. Edgar Hoover denied for 30 years. Sifakis's research is thorough, and his subjects are nefarious and riveting. It's his feel for storytelling, however, that makes his encyclopedia so enjoyable. He writes about infamous characters such as Al Capone (who felt his bootlegging was merely a public service) and John Gotti (a.k.a. the Teflon Don, who's now serving a life sentence) as well as the Mafia Social Clubs, Donnie Brasco (the FBI agent who infiltrated the mob and sent more than 100 mobsters to prison), and the importance of slot machines to the post-Prohibition welfare of organized crime.

With nearly 100 pictures and illustrations, Sifakis's mob opus is required reading for Mafia buffs, and a remarkably engaging guide for anyone interested in a factual report on organized crime.

Douglas Brode - Shooting Stars of the Small Screen , Encyclopedia of TV Western Actors, 1946-present (2009).jpg

Since the beginning of television, Westerns have been playing on the small screen. From the mid-1950s until the early 1960s, they were one of TV's most popular genres, with millions of viewers tuning in to such popular shows as Rawhide, Gunsmoke, and Disney's Davy Crockett. Though the cultural revolution of the later 1960s contributed to the demise of traditional Western programs, the Western never actually disappeared from TV. Instead, it took on new forms, such as the highly popular Lonesome Dove and Deadwood, while exploring the lives of characters who never before had a starring role, including anti-heroes, mountain men, farmers, Native and African Americans, Latinos, and women.
Shooting Stars of the Small Screen is a comprehensive encyclopedia of more than 450 actors who received star billing or played a recurring character role in a TV Western series or a made-for-TV Western movie or miniseries from the late 1940s up to 2008. Douglas Brode covers the highlights of each actor's career, including Western movie work, if significant, to give a full sense of the actor's screen persona(s). Within the entries are discussions of scores of popular Western TV shows that explore how these programs both reflected and impacted the social world in which they aired. Brode opens the encyclopedia with a fascinating history of the TV Western that traces its roots in B Western movies, while also showing how TV Westerns developed their own unique storytelling conventions.

John D. Lukacs - Escape From Davao, The Forgotten Story of the Most Daring Prison Break of the Pacif ic War (2010).jpg

01 - USA1 - John D. Lukacs - Escape From Davao, The Forgotten Stor...f the Most Daring Prison Break of the Pacific War 2010.jpg

Lukacs’ contribution to WWII POW literature reconstructs an escape by Americans from the Japanese-occupied Philippines. From biographical introductions of the dozen Americans involved, dramas of their captures at Bataan and Corregidor, and ordeals of imprisonment and maltreatment, Lukacs launches into their breakout scheme and the nail-biting danger of putting it in motion. Ably declaiming the ensuing intrepid events, Lukacs readily evokes the high tension and strenuous travails of the fugitives’ evasion of enemy patrols en route to evacuations by American submarines. But, as Lukacs recounts, their stories of Japanese atrocities (which included revelation of the Bataan Death March), in which their heroic saga was wrapped, were too hot for officialdom to handle. Fearful of endangering remaining POWs, but also tempted by the opportunity to put to use the inevitable intensification of popular anger against the Japanese, FDR expressly delayed release of the news until it coincided with a war-bond sales drive. Built from every available research source, Lukacs’ diligent, impassioned history will aid and abet the ever-growing interest in the WWII fighting experience.

John J. Patrick - The Bill of Rights, A History in Documents (2003).jpg

Grade 9 Up-Tracing the concept of human rights from the Magna Carta and John Locke's philosophy through to the present day, the author demonstrates through documents the development and interpretation of these rights in American history. A useful introduction defines primary-source documents and how to read them. Patrick then presents a brief overview of particular events and discusses the documents associated with them. He includes excerpts from the primary sources and a summary. Various period maps, cartoons, drawings, and court opinions are also included. Sidebars consisting of mini-biographies, quotes, and drawings provide added dimension. Readers get a true sense of the times, especially by perusing the court opinions. The issues of human rights, the civil rights amendments, the application of these rights in state constitutions, and the question of minority and majority rights are discussed. The chronological organization of the book provides students with an understanding of the evolution and the extent of the Bill of Rights. A chapter of political cartoons about the Second Amendment demonstrates how the interpretation of these rights is a continuing process. This attractive and informative volume will be a valuable resource for most collections.
