Suskind's take on the downfall of America's authority begins with what led to the attacks on September 11 and charts the countrys subsequent tarnished international identity. Tackling tough issues with historic disclosures (including the accusation that members of the U.S. government forged documents and lied to win approval for going to war in Iraq), the Pulitzer Prize–winning former Wall Street Journal reporter offers compelling and provocative stories. Unfortunately, Alan Sklar's narration will surely cause many listeners to lose interest. Sklar tends to drone and his dry, monotone voice bears very little passion or intensity. His uninspired reading lessens the impact of Suskinds masterful research.

Matthew Brower - Developing Animals; Wildlife and Early American Photography (2011).jpg

Pictures of animals are now ubiquitous, but the ability to capture animals on film was a significant challenge in the early era of photography. In Developing Animals, Matthew Brower takes us back to the time when Americans started taking pictures of the animal kingdom, at the beginning of the twentieth century, the moment when photography became a mass medium and wildlife photography an increasingly popular genre.

Developing Animals compellingly investigates the way photography changed our perception of animals. Brower analyzes how photographers created new ideas about animals as they moved from taking pictures of taxidermic specimens in so-called natural settings to the emergence of practices such as camera hunting, which made it possible to capture images of creatures in the wild.

By combining approaches in visual cultural studies and the history of photography, Developing Animals goes further to argue that photography has been essential not only to the understanding of wildlife but also to the conceptual separation of humans and animals.

Thomas C. Lassman - Sources of Weapon Systems Inno vation in the Department of Defense; The Role of R esearch and Development 1945-2000 (2008).jpg

01 - USA - Thomas C. Lassman - Sources of Weapon Systems Innovati...se The Role of Research and Development 1945-2000 2008.jpg

Sources of Weapon Systems Innovation in the Department of Defense explores the historical evolution of this process during the Cold War, focusing specifically on the content, scope, organizational structure, and management of in-house R&D in the Army, the Navy, and the Air Force.

This monograph is not a comprehensive history of military R&D, but rather a broad historical overview of changing institutional patterns of technological innovation within the Defense Department's major weapons laboratories. It examines many types of research and development including fundamental studies of the physics of metals in the Army's primary manufacturing arsenals, rocket and missile development at the Naval Ordnance Test Station in California, testing and evaluation of aircraft engines and rocket motors at the Air Force's Arnold Engineering Development Center in Tennessee, and a host of other R&D activities at laboratories located throughout the United States. How the military services accommodated changes in management policy and balanced the corresponding growth of R&D outsourcing at the expense of maintaining a viable in-house capability is the central theme of this book. While this monograph only scratches the surface of such an ambitious endeavor, it does attempt to provide a general interpretive framework that historians will hopefully find useful as a guide to further research.

Werner Sollors - Beyond Ethnicity; Consent and Des cent in American Culture (1987).jpg

Nothing is "pure" in America, and, indeed, the rich ethnic mix that constitutes our society accounts for much of its amazing vitality. Werner Sollors's new book takes a wide-ranging look at the role of "ethnicity" in American literature and what that literature has said--and continues to say--about our diverse culture. Ethnic consciousness, he contends, is a constituent feature of modernism, not modernism's antithesis.

Herbert A. Johnson - Wingless Eagle; U.S. Army Avi ation through World War I (2000).jpg

At the start of the twentieth century the United States led the world in advances in aviation, with the first successful engine-powered flights at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, and Dayton, Ohio, beginning in 1903. Fifteen years later, however, American airmen flew European-designed aircraft because American planes were woefully inadequate for service on the Western Front. Why was the United States so poorly prepared to engage in aerial combat in World War I?

Nonfiction account of Henry Miller's travels through the United States, published in 1945. Miller undertook these travels in 1940 and 1941 after returning from a lengthy stay in Europe. Miller comments, mostly negatively, on America's physical landscape as well as on the mood and spirit of the American people.

Roxanne Mountford - The Gendered Pulpit; Preaching in American Protestant Spaces (2003).jpg

In this feminist investigation into the art of preaching—one of the oldest and least studied rhetorical traditions—Roxanne Mountford explores the relationship between bodies, space, race, and gender in rhetorical performance and American Protestant culture. Refiguring delivery and physicality as significant components of the rhetorical situation, The Gendered Pulpit: Preaching in American Protestant Spaces examines the strategies of three contemporary women preachers who have transgressed traditions, rearranged rhetorical space, and conquered gender bias to establish greater intimacy with their congregations.

Mountford’s examinations of the rhetoric inherent in preaching manuals from 1850 to the present provide insight into how "manliness" has remained a central concept in American preaching since the mid-nineteenth century. The manuals illustrate that the character, style, method of delivery, and theological purpose of preachers focused on white men and their cultural standing. Mountford uses the concept of rhetorical space to illustrate how even church architecture bears the mark of a masculine history, which has left contemporary women preachers searching for ways to accommodate themselves to the physicality of preaching.

Three case studies of women preachers who have succeeded or failed in rearranging rhetorical space provide the foundation for the volume. These contemporary examples have important implications for feminist theology and also reveal the importance of gender, space, and bodies to studies of rhetoric in general. Mountford explores the geographies of St. John’s Lutheran Church and the preaching of Rev. Patricia O’Connor who reformed rhetorical space through the delivery of her sermons. At Eastside United Church of Christ, Mountford shows, Rev. Barbara Hill employed narrative style and prophetic utterance in the tradition of black preaching to address gender bias and institute change in her congregation. The final case study details the experiences of Pastor Janet Moore and her struggles at Victory Hills United Methodist Church, where the fractured congregation could not be united even with Pastor Moore’s focus on theological purpose and invention strategies.

As the study of written discourse continues to dominate the humanities and social sciences, The Gendered Pulpit: Preaching in American Protestant Spaces emphasizes the role of physicality, space, and oral performance in rhetoric scholarship. Although rhetoricians have largely neglected physical components, this multifaceted ethnography highlights the importance of the material elements that constitute rhetorical space and performance, showing how theological purpose, arrangement, and style are all forms of spatial strategy.

Miniatury morskie EWM 1-1 - Michał Ozóg - Surigao, ostatni bój gigantów (2006).jpg

Wczesnym rankiem 24 października 1944 r. nad zatoką Leyte, wypełnioną amerykańską flotą Inwazyjną, pojawił się samotny, rozpoznawczy wodnosamolot. Na kadłubie maszyny lśniły symbole czerwonego, wschodzącego słońca - hinomam znaki rozpoznawcze japońskiego lotnictwa. Przestronna, bogato oszklona kabina samolotu mieściła trzy osoby - pilota, radiooperatora oraz obserwatora, który pośpiesznie zaczął zliczać i klasyfikować dostrzeżone okręty. Pośpiech był konieczny - w każdej chwili wodnopłatowiec mógł zostać zauważony przez amerykańskie myśliwce patrolujące niebo nad zatoką. Los powolnego wodnosamolotu byłby wtedy przesądzony. Co więcej, czas odgrywał rolę, ponieważ informacje o pozycji amerykańskich okrętów miały dla Japończyków kluczowe znaczenie. W przeciągu następnych 48 godzin na okalających zatokę wodach Archipelagu Filipińskiego miała rozegrać się bitwa, decydująca o losach Cesarstwa Japońskiego.

James M. Goldgeier, Michael McFaul - Power and Pur pose; U.S. Policy Toward Russia After the Cold War (2003).jpg

Russia, once seen as America’s greatest adversary, is now viewed by the United States as a potential partner. This book traces the evolution of American foreign policy toward the Soviet Union, and later Russia, during the tumultuous and uncertain period following the end of the cold war. It examines how American policymakers—particularly in the executive branch—coped with the opportunities and challenges presented by the new Russia.
Drawing on extensive interviews with senior U.S. and Russian officials, the authors explain George H. W. Bush’s response to the dramatic coup of August 1991 and the Soviet breakup several months later, examine Bill Clinton’s efforts to assist Russia’s transformation and integration, and analyze George W. Bush’s policy toward Russia as September 11 and the war in Iraq transformed international politics. Throughout, the book focuses on the benefits and perils of America’s efforts to promote democracy and markets in Russia as well as reorient Russia from security threat to security ally.
Understanding how three U.S. administrations dealt with these critical policy questions is vital in assessing not only America’s Russia policy, but also efforts that might help to transform and integrate other former adversaries in the future.
