Charles D. Cashdollar - A Spiritual Home, Life in British and American Reformed Congregations, 1830- 1915 (2000).jpg

01 - USA - Charles D. Cashdollar - A Spiritual Home, Life in Brit...sh and American Reformed Congregations, 1830-1915 2000.jpg

An exploration of congregational life inside British and American Reformed churches between 1830 and 1915. At a time when scholars have become interested in the day-to-day experiences of local congregations, this work reaches back into the 19th century, a critically formative period in Anglo-American life, to examine the historical roots of congregational life. Taking the perspective of the laity, Charles D. Cashdollar ranges widely from worship and music to fund-raising and administration, from pastoral care to social work, from prayer meetings to strawberry festivals, from the sanctuary to the kitchen. Firmly rooted in broader currents of gender, class, notions of middle-class respectability, increasing expectations for personal privacy, and patterns of professionalization, he finds that there was a gradual shift in emphasis during these years from piety to fellowship. The book is based on records, publications and memorabilia from about 150 congregations representing eight denominations.

Bonnie Angelo - First Families, The Impact of the White House on Their Live (2007).jpg

What is it like to be America's First Family? In this wonderfully engaging book, Bonnie Angelo, Time correspondent and acclaimed author of First Mothers, probes two hundred years of American history to tell the story of real life within the White House walls—how presidents, their wives, children, and extended families worked to create a home in an imposing national monument while attempting to keep their private lives from the public domain. First Families chronicles exhilarating moments as well as dark days at the nation's most famous address, with fascinating, behind-the-headline accounts of picture-book weddings, gossipy love affairs, rollicking children, domestic squabbles, and tragic deaths. From activist wives Eleanor Roosevelt and Hillary Clinton to reluctant occupants Bess Truman and Jacqueline Kennedy, to those such as Mary Todd Lincoln, Dolley Madison, and madcap debutante Alice Roosevelt, who embraced their new address and status, here is an unforgettable human portrait of our First Families and how they coped, stumbled, or thrived in the national spotlight.

Thomas Donnelly - Ground Truth, The Future of U.S. Land Power (2008).jpg

The small size of America's land forces has been, and for years to come will remain, the tightest constraint on U.S. military strategy. The cutbacks of the Clinton years and, following the attacks of September 11, 2001, the Bush Administration's failure to foresee the need for larger ground forces have created a double bind: it is difficult to win a Long War with a small force. Remedying this most dire divergence between American military ends and American military means will be a severe challenge to the next administration, and indeed for at least a decade. Building the land forces America needs will take much time, money, and political willpower. Ground Truth is a basis for discussion and a plan of policy action.

Behavioral-developmental pediatrician Lawrence Diller continues his investigation into the widespread use of psychiatric drugs for children in America, an investigation that began with his first book, Running on Ritalin. In this work at hand, Diller delves more deeply into the factors that drive the epidemic of children's psychiatric disorders and medication use today, questioning why these medications are being sought, and why Americans use more of these drugs with children than is used in any other country in the world.

Biblioteka MSiO 11 - Michał Fiszer - Lotniskowce T ypów Forrestol i Kitty Haw (2005).jpg

Okręty typu Kitty Hawk stanowią powiększoną i zmodernizowaną wersję lotniskowców typu Forrestal. Zmiany polegały głównie na przedłużeniu kadłuba i innym rozplanowaniu wind dla samolotów.

Budowę pierwszego okrętu typu, USS "Kitty Hawk" rozpoczęto w stoczni New York SB Corp NJ 27 grudnia 1956 roku. Okręt zwodowano 21 maja 1960 roku, natomiast do służby wszedł 29 kwietnia 1961 roku. Koszt budowy okrętu zamknął się kwotą 217 963 000 dolarów. Ogółem zbudowano cztery okręty tego typu. Ostatni z nich, "John F. Kennedy" (CV-67), różni się dość znacznie od pozostałych i jest czasami uważany za osobny typ.

Kathryn Seifert - How Children Become Violent, Kee ping Your Kids Out of Gangs, Terrorist Organizatio ns, and Cults (2006).jpg

01 - USA - Kathryn Seifert - How Children Become Violent, Keeping ... Out of Gangs, Terrorist Organizations, and Cults 2006.jpg

Violence is an age-old phenomenon. War, genocide, and death are cornerstones that define history. Yet in the 21st century, we are experiencing violence in ways never seen before. It may be in worldwide terrorist organizations, inner city and suburban gangs, or the disturbed teenager next door who takes his rage out on innocent classmates. Those who commit violence today, as Kathryn Seifert, Ph.D. explains in this book, are likely to be adults or adolescents who themselves witnessed violence as children or were abused or neglected in their early years. Childhood is a time when bonding with caregivers stimulates the formulation of behavioral regulation, interpersonal skills, moral development, brain development, and problem solving, and when it is interrupted Disrupted Attachments Patterns (DAP) can form. This means that today's violent, neglected, psychologically unbalanced, and traumatized children are likely to be tomorrow's dangers to society-that is, unless we can intervene to assess DAP and offer them appropriate therapy. Dr. Seifert offers personal insights from her over 30 years of experience in mental health, addictions, and criminal justice work to help other therapists, victims, and parents understand not only how children become violent, but illuminate the pathway to a violence-free future.

Michael Burgan - The Alamo (2009).jpg

The call to "Remember the Alamo!" summoned up courage in the Americans struggling to win Texas's independence from Mexico. When the men at the Alamo came face-to-face with the 2,000 Mexican troops attacking the fort in 1836, they knew they couldn't win the fight. Nevertheless, they were ready to die rather than give up their claim to independence. The Alamo traces the American settlement of Texas and the series of events that led up to this momentous battle.

James M. Anderson, Paul Heaton, Stephen J. Carroll - The U.S. Experience with No-Fault Automobile In surance, A Retrospective (2010).jpg

01 - USA - James M. Anderson, Paul Heaton, Stephen J. Carroll - T...th No-Fault Automobile Insurance, A Retrospective 2010.jpg

No-fault automobile-insurance regimes were the culmination of decades of dissatisfaction with the use of the traditional tort system for compensating victims of automobile accidents. They promised quicker, fairer, less-contentious, and, it was hoped, less-expensive resolution of automobile-accident injuries. This monograph considers how these plans have fared.

To many commentators and policymakers in the 1970s, it appeared as though no-fault automobile insurance was a genuinely superior policy innovation that would displace conventional tort-based automobileinsurance regimes. More than 30 years later, no-fault has lost much of its popularity among insurers and consumer groups. What happened?
This monograph provides an overview of the experience in the United States with no-fault automobile insurance and the factors that led to its decline in popularity among insurers, consumer groups, and legislatures. We explore the history of no-fault and examine its performance relative to other approaches for automobile-accident compensation. We draw from a variety of data sources, including qualitative interviews, surveys, and administrative databases, to evaluate the successes and failures of no-fault and consider its likely future in the United States.

Howard Hughes - Stagecoach to Tombstone, The Filmg oer's Guide to Great Westerns (2007).jpg

The true story of the American West on film, through its shooting stars and the directors who shot them…
Howard Hughes explores the Western, running from John Ford’s 'Stagecoach' to the revisionary 'Tombstone'. Writing with panache and fresh insight, he explores 27 key films, and draws on production notes, cast and crew biographies, and the films’ box-office success, to reveal their place in western history. He shows how through reinvention and resurrection, this genre continually postpones the big adios and avoids ending up in Boot Hill…permanently. Major films covered include the best from genre giants John Ford, Howard Hawks and John Wayne, plus classics 'High Noon', 'Shane', 'The Magnificent Seven' and 'Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid'. 'Stagecoach to Tombstone' makes many more stops along the way, examining well-known blockbusters and lowly B-movie oaters alike. It examines comedy westerns, adventures ‘south of the border’, singing cowboys and the varied depiction of Native Americans on screen. Hughes also engagingly charts the genre’s timely renovation by Sam Peckinpah ('Ride the High Country' and 'The Wild Bunch' ), Sergio Leone ('Once Upon a Time in the West') and Clint Eastwood ('The Outlaw Josey Wales' and 'Unforgiven'). Presented too are the best of western trivia, a filmography of essential films - and ten aficionados and critics, including Alex Cox, Christopher Frayling, Philip French and Ed Buscombe, give their verdict on the best in the west.

Alexander Hamilton, James Madison - The Pacificus- Helvidius Debates of 1793-1794, Toward the Complet ion of the American Founding (2007).jpg

01 - USA - Alexander Hamilton, James Madison - The Pacificus-Helv...4, Toward the Completion of the American Founding 2007.jpg

"The Pacificus-Helvidius Debates of 1793-1794" matched Hamilton and Madison in the first chapter of an enduring discussion about the proper roles of the executive and legislative branches in the conduct of American foreign policy. Ignited by President Washington's "Neutrality Proclamation of 1793", the debate addressed whether Washington had the authority to declare America neutral, despite an early alliance treaty with France. Hamilton argued that Washington's actions were constitutional and that friction between the two branches was an unavoidable, but not harmful, consequence of the separation of powers. Madison countered that Washington's proclamation would introduce "new principles and new constructions" into the Constitution. While the Pacificus-Helvidius debates did not resolve this ongoing constitutional controversy, they did define the grounds upon which this question was to be examined, to this very day.

Carol Spencer Mitchell - Danger Pay, Memoir of a P hotojournalist in the Middle East, 1984-1994 )2008 ).jpg

"You're going where?" Carol Spencer Mitchell's father demanded as she set off in 1984 to cover the Middle East as a photojournalist for Newsweek and other publications. In this intensely thoughtful memoir, Spencer Mitchell probes the motivations that impelled her, a single, Jewish woman, to document the turmoil roiling the Arab world in the 1980s and 1990s, as well as how her experiences as a photojournalist "compelled [me] to set aside [my] cameras and reexamine the way images are created, scenes are framed, and how 'real life' is packaged for specific news stories." In Danger Pay, Spencer Mitchell takes us on a harrowing journey to PLO military training camps for Palestinian children and to refugee camps in the Gaza Strip before, during, and after the first intifada. Through her eyes, we experience the media frenzy surrounding the 1985 hijackings of TWA Flight #847 and the Italian cruise liner Achille Lauro. We meet Middle Eastern leaders, in particular Yasser Arafat and King Hussein of Jordan, with whom Spencer Mitchell developed close working relationships. And we witness Spencer Mitchell's growing conviction that the Western media's portrayal of conflicts in the Middle East actually helps to fuel those conflicts--a conviction that eventually, as she says, "shattered my career."
