This book is a cultural and intellectual history of anti-Catholicism in the period 1840-1870. The book will have two major themes: trans-nationalism and gender. Previous approaches to anti-Catholicism in the United States have adopted an exclusively national focus. This book breaks new ground by exploring the trans-Atlantic ties joining opponents of Catholicism in the United States and in France. The anticlerical works of major French writers such as Jules Michelet and Edgar Quinet flowed into the United States in the middle decades of the century. From the French perspective, the United States offered a model in combating the alleged ambitions of the Church. The literature and ideas which passed through this trans-Atlantic channel were overwhelmingly concerned with masculinity, femininity and domesticity. On both sides of the Atlantic, anti-Catholic literature was filled with images of priests or Jesuits craftily usurping the authority of fathers, of young girls tricked into entering convents and then subjected to merciless sexual and physical abuse, of families torn apart by the agents of the Church. Of course, the gender and domestic ideals underlying this opposition to Catholicism were not identical across the two societies. Nevertheless, gender and domesticity acted as a platform on which the trans-Atlantic case against Catholicism was built.

Kendrick A. Clements - The Life of Herbert Hoover; Imperfect Visionary, 1918-1928 (2010).jpg

This latest volume in the definitive six-volume biography of Herbert Hoover tracks Hoover’s life and career from 1918 to 1928—a period defined largely by his role as United States Secretary of Commerce and leading directly to his election as the thirty-first President of the United States. It tells the story of how Hoover the engineering progressive turned relief and war manager developed a public philosophy for dealing with a wide array of problems. It also fits Hoover into the larger thought, action, and developmental patterns of the period, interweaving his family matters, business affairs, and other projects with the larger historical context.

O USA - David L. Preston - The Texture of Contact European and I...ommunities on the Frontiers of Iroquoia, 1667-1783 2009.jpg

Winner of the 2010 American Historical Association and Canadian Historical Association's Albert B. Corey Prize

Winner of the 2010 Annual Archives Award for Excellence in Research Using the Holdings of the New York State Archives

The Texture of Contact is a landmark study of Iroquois and European communities and coexistence in eastern North America before the American Revolution. David L. Preston details the ways in which European and Iroquois settlers on the frontiers creatively adapted to each other s presence, weaving webs of mutually beneficial social, economic, and religious relationships that sustained the peace for most of the eighteenth century.

Drawing on a wealth of previously unexamined archival research, Preston describes everyday encounters between Europeans and Indians along the frontiers of the Iroquois Confederacy in the St. Lawrence, Mohawk, Susquehanna, and Ohio valleys. Homesteads, taverns, gristmills, churches, and markets were frequent sites of intercultural exchange and negotiation. Complex diplomatic and trading relationships developed as a result of European and Iroquois settlers bartering material goods. Innovative land-sharing arrangements included the common practice of Euroamerican farmers living as tenants of the Mohawks, sometimes for decades. This study reveals that the everyday lives of Indians and Europeans were far more complex and harmonious than past histories have suggested. Preston s nuanced comparisons between various settlements also reveal the reasons why peace endured in the Mohawk and St. Lawrence valleys while warfare erupted in the Susquehanna and Ohio valleys.

One of the most comprehensive studies of eighteenth-century Iroquois history, The Texture of Contact broadens our understanding of eastern North America s frontiers and the key role that the Iroquois played in shaping that world.

Evan A. Feigenbaum - The United States in the New Asia (2009).jpg

For more than a decade, the United States has mostly watched from the sidelines as Asian countries organized themselves into an alphabet soup of new multilateral organizations. As groups such as ASEAN Plus Three, from which Washington is excluded, become the locus of economic and financial integration, America's traditional "hub and spokes" approach to Asia —with the United States as the hub, bilateral alliances as the spokes, and multilateral institutions largely at the margins of American policy —has become unsustainable.
In this report, Evan A. Feigenbaum and Robert A. Manning review the relationship between pan-Asian and trans-Pacific institutions and suggest policy guidelines for a different U.S. approach to this new Asian landscape. A purposeful multilateralism that pools the efforts of those with the greatest capacity, the authors argue, could make Asia a more prosperous and secure region. And by leading with new ideas and vigorous multilateral economic engagement, the United States can help define new roles for itself in a changing Asia.

An exploration of how the theme of Anti-Americanism was employed by influential sections of the West German media to oppose the modernisation of the Federal Republic of Germany during the long 1950s. In the public battle over the future direction of Germany, America stood as a symbol of social, political and economic corruption.

This unique collection of essays provides a re-evaluation of the term 'Atlantic,' by placing at the core of the debate on republicanism in the early modern age the link between continental Europe and America, rather than assuming British political culture as having been widely representative of Europe as a whole.

Helen Thompson - China and the Mortgaging of Ameri ca; Economic Interdependence and Domestic Politics (2010).jpg

In the summer of 2008 the economic relationship that had developed between the United States and East Asia, and China in particular, stood on the precipice of collapse. The American government avoided a crisis by rescuing two hugely indebted American mortgage corporations, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Thompson explains the origins of the crisis, unravels the domestic politics of home ownership in the United States and analyses the consequences and implications of the crisis. She demonstrates the importance politics, both on the domestic and international front, has played in shaping our understanding of the financial crisis and considers the problems of economic interdependence more generally.

Nelson Lichtenstein - Labor's War at Home; The Cio in World War II (2003).jpg

"Labor's War at Home" examines a critical period in American politics and labor history, beginning with the outbreak of war in Europe in 1939 through the wave of major industrial strikes that followed the war and accompanied the reconversion to a peacetime economy. Nelson Lichtenstein is concerned both with the internal organizations and social dynamics of the labor movement especially the Congress of Industrial Organizations and with the relationship between the CIO, as well as other bodies of organized labor, and the Roosevelt administration.He argues that tensions within the labor movement and within the ranks of American business profoundly affected government policy during the war and the nature of organized labor's political relations with Roosevelt and the Democratic Party. Moreover, the political arrangements worked out during the war established the foundations of social stability and labor politics that came to characterize the postwar world. Nelson Lichtenstein is Professor of History at the University of California, Santa Barbara. He is the author of numerous books, including "Walter Reuther: The Most Dangerous Man in Detroit" and, most recently, "State of the Union: A Century of American Labor".

Randall G. Holcombe - From Liberty to Democracy; T he Transformation of American Governmentn (2002).jpg

At the nation's founding, the fundamental principle underlying American government was liberty, and the nation's new government was designed to protect the rights of individuals. The American founders intended to design a government that would protect the rights of its citizens, and at that time the most serious threat to people's rights was government. Thus, the United States government was designed with a constitutionally limited scope to preserve the rights of individuals and limit the powers of government. The government's activities during two world wars and the Great Depression greatly increased its involvement in people's economic affairs, and by the time of Lyndon Johnson's Great Society, the transformation was complete. By the end of the twentieth century, the fundamental principle underlying American government had been transformed to democracy, and public policy was designed to further the will of the majority. The result has been a government that is larger and broader in scope. From Liberty to Democracy examines American political history using the framework of public choice theory to show how American government grew more democratic, and how this resulted in an increase in the size and scope of government. It should appeal to historians, political scientists, and economists who are interested in the evolution of American government but does not assume any specialized training and can be read by anyone interested in American political history. Randall G. Holcombe is DeVoe Moore Professor of Economics, Florida State University

Charles H. Logan - Private Prisons; Cons and Pros (1990).jpg

American prisons and jails are overflowing with inmates. To relieve the pressure, courts have imposed fines on overcrowded facilities and fiscally strapped governments have been forced to release numerous prisoners prematurely. In this study, noted criminologist Charles Logan makes the case for commercial operation of prisons and jails as an alternative to the government's monopoly. On philosophical, economic, legal, and practical grounds, Logan argues a compelling case for the private and commercial operation of prisons. He critically examines all objections raised by opponents, and concludes that while private prisons face many potential problems, they do so primarily because they are prisons, not because they are private.

Raymond J. La Raja - Small Change; Money, Politica l Parties, and Campaign Finance Reform (2008).jpg

Reformers lament that, with every effort to regulate the sources of campaign funding, candidates creatively circumvent the new legislation. But in fact, political fundraisers don't need to look for loopholes because, as Raymond J. La Raja proves, legislators intentionally design regulations to gain advantage over their partisan rivals.

La Raja traces the history of the U.S. campaign finance system from the late nineteenth century through the passage of the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act (BCRA) of 2002. Then, using the 2004 presidential election as a case study, he compares the ways in which Democrats and Republicans adapted their national fund-raising and campaigning strategies to satisfy BCRA regulations. Drawing upon this wealth of historical and recent evidence, he concludes with recommendations for reforming campaign finance in ways that promote fair competition among candidates and guarantee their accountability to voters.

Small Change offers an engaging account of campaign finance reforms' contradictory history; it is a must-read for anyone concerned about influence of money on democratic elections.

Felipe Korzenny, Betty Ann Korzenny - Hispanic Mar keting; Connecting with the New Latino Consumer (2 011).jpg

Over 44 million Hispanics live in the U.S., representing a $932 billion economy and this Hispanic buying power exceeded that of African Americans in 2008. Corporations must recognize and incorporate Hispanic cultural values into their products, services, and communications. But what's the best method? What works? What doesn't? And more fundamentally, how can those corporations connect with today's Hispanic consumer? 'Hispanic Marketing' shows marketers how to best reach this widely misunderstood demographic, not by repeating well-known statistics, but through viewing the Hispanic market as a cultural target. The Korzennys take a profound look at the values, beliefs, and emotions of US Hispanics that impact consumer behavior and provide practical guidance on how to connect successfully with this group. Recent case studies help marketers relate to the material pragmatically. The book integrates concepts and practical examples and provides critical guidance to discern between alternative courses of action. As Dr. Felipe Korzenny, the author, says "The US Hispanic marketing has reached an important stage of maturity. What marketers need the most now is an edge over competitors. Understanding cultural issues will allow marketers to more fundamentally connect with Hispanic consumers. This is a book about establishing a cultural connection with Hispanics to beat the competition."

* Shows marketers how to better connect with the Spanish consumer, a $932 billion US market

* Fully updated to include 2010 census data ensuring all references are up to date to aid today's marketer to target this lucrative segment * Brand new coverage of hispanics online, 2nd and 3rd generation hispanics and how social media such as MySpace and Facebook affect this market segment aids marketers in planning most effectively

United States Army in World War II - Charles F. Ro manus, Riley Sunderland - Time Runs Out in CBI (19 99).jpg

This volume, third of a subseries, carries the story of the Army's anomalous mission in China-Burma-India from the recall of General Stilwell in October 1944 to V-J Day. It deals with problems at all levels from platoon to theater, from tactics to diplomacy. The postwar concern of the Army with military assistance gives a special interest to the military advisory system that General Wedemeyer developed in the China theater to strengthen and guide the forces of Chiang Kai-shek. Stopping with the end of the war against Japan, Time Runs Out in CBI necessarily leaves the Wedemeyer story incomplete. But the authors' utilization of hitherto unused Army sources throws a light on the China tangle that should make this book useful to makers of policy, as well as interesting to readers of the history of our times.

Sheldon Rothblatt - The European and American Univ ersity since 1800 (2006).jpg

Universities are said to be the "powerhouses" of modern society. They educate our leaders and advance our basic knowledge of nature and society. The essays in this book discuss how universities work, and have worked, in relation to other parts of the higher education "system" and in the context of their historical development. The authors are particularly interested in "complexity" as it affects universities, the professions and government, and exercise comparative analysis in assessing the functioning, the success and the significance of universities.

Mary Titus - The Ambivalent Art of Katherine Anne Porter (2005).jpg

During a life that spanned ninety years, Katherine Anne Porter (1890-1980) witnessed dramatic and intensely debated changes in the gender roles of American women. Mary Titus draws upon unpublished Porter papers, as well as newly available editions of her early fiction, poetry, and reviews, to trace Porter’s shifting and complex response to those cultural changes. Titus shows how Porter explored her own ambivalence about gender and creativity, for she experienced firsthand a remarkable range of ideas concerning female sexuality. These included the Victorian attitudes of the grandmother who raised her; the sexual license of revolutionary Mexico, 1920s New York, and 1930s Paris; and the conservative, ordered attitudes of the Agrarians.

Rachel Weber - Swords into Dow Shares (2001).jpg

Contemporary legal doctrine holds that corporate managers have obligations, first and foremost, to maximize profits for their shareholders. This doctrine is based on the assumption that shareholders alone bear the financial risks and contribute the equity necessary for production. But what if other groups contribute assets and also risk losing their investments? What if other groups actually shelter shareholders from financial risks? Such is the case with the nation's prime defense contractors. By examining the case of defense contracting, where the federal government and, indirectly, the taxpayers assume most of the risks and costs of producing weaponry, Rachel Weber critiques the assumptions underlying our system of corporate governance.
