The Americas in the Modern Age

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Langley, Lester D., PUBLISHER: Yale University Press, In this wide-ranging book, historian Lester D. Langley offers a fresh interpretation of the history of the modern Western hemisphere since the mid-nineteenth century. He evaluates the dynamics of hemispheric history, commencing with the articulation of the "two Americas" (Theodore Roosevelt's America and the contrasting America described by Cuban revolutionary, essayist, and poet Jose Marti) and culminating with recent controversial efforts to forge a united hemisphere. Tracing the interactions and influences among the nations of South, Central, and North America, including Canada, Langley departs from other accounts of the past 150 years. He argues that the seedtime for today's Americas was not the Cold War but the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. He also contends that it is not what the countries and people of the Americas have in common that binds them; instead, their cultural, political, and economic conflicts tie them together. Comprehensive and balanced, this history of the nations of the Americas offers new insights into both the past and the future of inter-American relations.

The Humboldt Current: Nineteenth-Century Exploration and the

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Sachs, Aaron, PUBLISHER: Viking Books, A masterly intellectual history of the impact of 19th-century explorer Alexander von Humboldt on American culture and science The naturalist and explorer Alexander von Humboldt () achieved unparalleled fame in his own time. Today, his enormous legacy to American thought is virtually unknown. In "The Humboldt Current," Aaron Sachs seeks to reverse this obscurity by tracing Humboldt's pervasive influence on American history, specifically looking at the lives and careers of four explorers: J. N. Reynolds, the founder of the U.S. Exploring Expedition; Clarence King, the first director of the U.S. Geological Survey; George Wallace Melville, chief engineer on the disastrous "Jeannette" expedition to the North Pole; and John Muir, founder of the Sierra Club. In Sachs's view, all four of these men were alienated Romantics who used Humboldt's notion of "unity in diversity" as a way of critiquing their increasingly industrialized society. Moreover, as Sachs argues, their examples laid the groundwork for an ecological tradition even more radical than the one that has come down to us today. Sachs's treatment of Humboldt's legacy also includes discussions of the writers and artists most in his debt: Emerson, Whitman, Thoreau, Melville, Poe, and Frederic Church. Reminiscent of Louis Menand's bestselling "The Metaphysical Club, The Humboldt Current" is a colorful, superbly written and carefully researched work that offers a fundamental reinterpretation of nineteenth century American history.

My Darling Danny: Letters from Mary O'Connell to Her Son

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: O'Connell, Mary / Bishop, Erin I., PUBLISHER: Cork University Press, On May , fourteen year-old Daniel O'Connell Jr., son of the "Liberator," left his comfortable home in Dublin to attend the Jesuit college at Clongowes Wood in County Kildare. Thus began a three-year correspondence between Danny Jr. and his mother, Mary O'Connell. Bursting with love and affection, illness and death, politics and scandal, these letters allow a brief glimpse at the relationship between mother and son in nineteenth-century Ireland. In addition, this collection documents a portion of an important juncture in the political career of Danny's father Daniel O'Connell. Returned for Clare in the by-election, the "Liberator" took his seat in as the first Catholic Member of Parliament, and for the next several years focused his attention on the parliamentary business carried out in London. This collection of letters between mother and son is doubly valuable, because it not only offers insights into both the ordinary social history of nineteenth-century Ireland, but into the extraordinary and exciting political history of parliamentary politics and of Daniel O'Connell as well.

A Short History of England

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: White, Reginald J., PUBLISHER: Cambridge University Press, This is an agreeable narrative, easy to read, of the history of the English nation through twenty centuries.

There are numerous lively - and sometimes surprising - quotations from the sources. Its compass is the whole field of English history from the Roman occupation to the end of the nineteenth century; a brief postscript brings the story up to the present day.

From the unification of Italy to the Paris Commune to the Dreyfus Affair to The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, Europe is in tumult and everyone needs a scapegoat.

The Magic of the Many: Josiah Quincy and the Rise of Mass

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Crocker, Matthew H., PUBLISHER: University of Massachusetts Press, A study of partisan politics and class conflict in early nineteenth-century Boston, this book traces the history of a popular revolt against an entrenched ruling elite. Led by an unlikely populist, patrician Josiah Quincy, the rebellion against the reigning Federalist party not only altered the political landscape of Boston but also signalled the advent of the Jacksonian Age. According to Matthew H. Crocker, Boston in the early republic was a city divided by opposing conceptions of democracy. While the Federalist elite struggled to uphold traditional notions of deference to authority, anti-Federalist insurgents rejected the idea of hierarchy and embraced a commitment to political equality. The challenge to the established order eventually coalesced around Josiah Quincy, who reversed his longstanding political loyalties and forged a popular coalition that broke the hegemony of the Federalist party. Elected in as Boston's second mayor, Quincy dominated the city's politics for nearly a decade before the people who had brought him to power turned against him. In the end, Crocker argues, Quincy and the insurgency he led left an ambiguous legacy. On the one hand, as Boston's "Great Mayor, " Quincy established himself as one of the nineteenth century's most powerful and dictatorial city executives. On the other, the populist movement that toppled the Federalist party in Boston presaged a new kind of American politics that would soon spread throughout the nation.

Zion in the Courts: A Legal History of the Church of Jesus

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Firmage, Edwin Brown / Mangrum, R. Collin / Mangrum, Richard Collin, PUBLISHER: University of Illinois Press, The inability of American society to tolerate the peculiar institutions embraced by Mormons was one of the major events in the religious history of nineteenth-century America. Zion in the Courts explores one aspect of this collision between the Mormons and the mainstream: the Mormons' efforts to establish their own court system -- one appropriate to the distinctive political, social, and economic practices they envisioned as Zion -- and the pressures applied by the federal legal system to bring them to heel. This first paperback edition includes two new introductory pieces in which the authors discuss the Mormon emphasis on settling disputes outside the court, a practice that foreshadows current trends toward arbitration and mediation.
