Charles P. Aliber, Robert Z. Kindleberger - Manias , Panics and Crashes, A History of Financial Crise s (2005).jpg

01 - USA - Charles P. Aliber, Robert Z. Kindleberger - Manias, Pan...Panics and Crashes, A History of Financial Crises 2005.jpg

Charlie Kindleberger (CPK from now on) was a delightful colleague: perceptive, responsive, curious about everything, full of character, and, above all, lively. Those same qualities are everywhere evident in Manias, Panics and Crashes.
I think that CPK began to work on the book in the spirit of writing a natural history, rather as Darwin must have done at the stage of the Beagle – collecting, examining and classifying interesting specimens. Manias, panics and crashes had the advantage over rodents, birds and beetles that they were accompanied by the rhetoric of contemporaries, sometimes with insight, sometimes just blather. It was CPK’s style as an economic historian to hunt for interesting things to learn, not to pursue a systematic agenda.

Matthew Goodman - The Sun and the Moon, The Remark able True Account of Hoaxers, Showmen, Dueling Jou rnalists, and Lunar Man-Bats in Nineteenth-Century New York (2008).jpg

01 - USA - Matthew Goodman - The Sun and the Moon, The Remarkable ...and Lunar Man-Bats in Nineteenth-Century New York 2008.jpg

The remarkable true story of the hoax that bewildered Nineteenth-Century New York and created tabloid journalism.

In the sweltering summer of 1835, New York City, still reeling from the effects of a cholera epidemic, was coaxed into a mood approaching mass hysteria by a series of articles in the Sun, the first of New York City's penny papers. Seven articles, purporting to be the first report of the lunar discoveries made by a world-famous British astronomer, described in astonishing detail the existence of life on the moon--birds, buffalo, one-horned zebras, and four-foot-tall man bats. Intended as a satirical attack on the religious philosophers of the day, "The Moon Hoax" became the most widely circulated newspaper story in the world. And the Sun, a brash working-class upstart paper less than two years old, became the most widely read newspaper in the world, giving birth to a media revolution in the New World and a brand of tabloid journalism that prevails today.

The Sun and the Moon overflows with larger than life characters--known and unknown to modern readers, including Richard Adams Locke, British radical turned newspaper editor and creator of the hoax; a young, upwardly mobile, and ever industrious P. T. Barnum; and the fledgling editor of the Southern Literary Messenger, a fellow named Edgar Allan Poe. These three men, along with countless others, have parts to play in the delightful, entertaining, and surprisingly true story of how the Moon Hoax captivated New Yorkers and ultimately triggered the birth of the modern newspaper business.

Rebecca Conard - Benjamin Shambaugh and the Intell ectual Foundations of Public Hisory (2001).jpg

Although his name is little known today outside Iowa, during the early part of the twentieth century Benjamin Shambaugh (1871-1940) was a key figure in the historical profession. Using his distinguished career as a lens, Conard's seminal work is the first book to consider public history as an integral part of the intellectual development of the historical profession as a whole in the United States.

Conard draws upon an unpublished, mid-1940s biography by research historian Jacob Swisher to trace the forces that shaped Shambaugh's early years, his administration of the State Historical Society of Iowa, his development of applied history and commonwealth history in the 1910s and 1920s, and the transformations in his thinking and career during the 1930s. Framing this intriguingly interwoven narrative are chapters that contextualize Shambaugh's professional development within the development of the historical profession as a whole in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries and assess his career within the post-World War II emergence of the modern public history movement.

Shambaugh's career speaks to those who believe in the power of history to engage and inspire local audiences as well as those who believe that historians should apply their knowledge and methods outside the academy in pursuit of the greater public good.

Roy Kreitner - Calculating Promises, The Emergence of Modern American Contract Doctrine (2007).jpg

This book is a history of American contract law around the turn of the twentieth century. It meticulously details shifts in our conception of contract by juxtaposing scholarly accounts of contract with case law, and shows how the cases exhibit conflicts for which scholarship offers just one of many possible answers.
Breaking with conventional wisdom, the author argues that our current understanding of contract is not the outgrowth of gradual refinements of a centuries-old idea. Rather, contract as we now know it was shaped by a revolution in private law undertaken toward the end of the nineteenth century, when legal scholars established calculating promisors as the centerpiece of their notion of contract.
The author maintains that the revolution in contract thinking is best understood in a frame of reference wider than the rules governing the formation and enforcement of contracts. That frame of reference is a cultural negotiation over the nature of the individual subject and the role of the individual in a society undergoing transformation. Areas of central concern include the enforceability of promises to make gifts; the relationship of contracts to speculation and gambling; and the problem of incomplete contracts.

Michael Kammen - The Lively Arts, Gilbert Seldes a nd the Transformation of Cultural Criticism in the United States (1996).jpg

01 - USA - Michael Kammen - The Lively Arts, Gilbert Seldes and t...mation of Cultural Criticism in the United States 1996.jpg

He was a friend of James Joyce, Pablo Picasso, e.e. cummings, John Dos Passos, Irving Berlin, and F. Scott Fitzgerald--and the enemy of Ezra Pound, H.L. Mencken, and Ernest Hemingway. He was so influential a critic that Edmund Wilson declared that he had played a leading role in the "liquidation of genteel culture in America." Yet today many students of American culture would not recognize his name. He was Gilbert Seldes, and in this brilliant biographical study, Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Michael Kammen recreates a singularly American life of letters. Equally important, Kammen uses Seldes's life as a lens through which to bring into sharp focus the dramatic shifts in American culture that occurred in the half-century after World War I.
Born in 1893, Seldes saw in his lifetime an astonishing series of innovations in popular and mass culture: silent films and talkies, the phonograph and the radio, the coming of television, and the proliferation of journalism aimed at mainstream America in such venues as Vanity Fair, The Saturday Evening Post, and Esquire. (His monthly column in Esquire was called "The Lively Arts.") Seldes was more than a witness to these changes, however; he was the leading champion of popular culture in his time, and a skilled practitioner as well. Kammen, the first scholar to enjoy access to Seldes's unpublished papers, illuminates his immense influence as the earliest cultural critic to insist that the lively arts--vaudeville, musical revues, film, jazz, and the comics--should be taken just as seriously as grand opera, the legitimate theatre, and other manifestations of high culture.
As he traces Seldes's remarkable evolution from an acknowledged aesthete and highbrow to a cultural democrat with a passion for the popular arts, Kammen recaptures the critic's prescience, wit, and generosity for a newly expanded audience. We witness Seldes's triumphs and travails as managing editor of The Dial, the most influential literary magazine of its time, and read of New York's endlessly feuding publications and literary rivalries. Kammen offers wonderfully detailed accounts of The Dial's introduction of "The Wasteland" in its November 1922 issue; Seldes's review of Ulysses for The Nation, one of the first (if not the very first) to appear in the U.S.; and the complete story of the writing, publication, and critical reception of The Seven Lively Arts, Seldes's most influential book. And Kammen also covers Seldes's astonishingly versatile later career as a freelance writer (on every conceivable subject), historian, novelist, playwright, filmmaker, radio scriptwriter, the first program director for CBS Television, and the founding dean of the Annenberg School of Communications at the University of Pennsylvania.

Michael Kammen - The Lively Arts, Gilbert Seldes a nd the Transformation of Cultural Criticism in the United States (1996).pdf

One of popular culture's earliest and most eloquent champions, Seldes was nonetheless publicly worried as early as 1937 that the popularity of radio, film, and television would mean the demise of the "private art of reading." By 1957 he was warning that "with the shift of all entertainment into the area of big business, we are being engulfed into a mass-produced mediocrity." At a time when many thoughtful Americans despair of popular culture, The Lively Arts revisits the opening salvos in the ongoing debate over "democratization" versus "dumbing down" of the arts. It offers a penetrating and timely analysis of Gilbert Seldes's pioneering conviction that the popular and the great arts must not only co-exist but enrich one another if we are to realize the innovation and intensity of American culture at its best.

Gerard W. Boychuk - National Health Insurance in t he United States and Canada, Race, Territory, and the Roots of Difference (2008).jpg

01 - USA - Gerard W. Boychuk - National Health Insurance in the Un...ada, Race, Territory, and the Roots of Difference 2008.jpg

After World War II, the United States and Canada, two countries that were very similar in many ways, struck out on radically divergent paths to public health insurance. Canada developed a universal single-payer system of national health care, while the United States opted for a dual system that combines public health insurance for low-income and senior residents with private, primarily employer-provided health insurance - or no insurance - for everyone else.In "National Health Insurance in the United States and Canada", Gerard W. Boychuk probes the historical development of health care in each country, honing in on the most distinctive social and political aspects of each country - the politics of race in the U.S. and territorial politics in Canada especially the tensions between the national government and the province of Quebec. In addition to the politics of race and territory, Boychuk sifts through the numerous factors shaping health policy, including national values, political culture and institutions, the power of special interests, and the impact of strategic choices made at critical junctures. Drawing on historical archives, oral histories, and public opinion data, he presents a nuanced and thoughtful analysis of the evolution of the two systems, compares them as they exist today, and reflects on how each is poised to meet the challenges of the future.

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 - USA - 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:...
