Nell Irvin Painter
Creating Black Americans: African-American History and Its Meanings, 1619 to the Present

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Here is a magnificent account of a past rich in beauty and creativity, but also in tragedy and trauma. Eminent historian Nell Irvin Painter blends a vivid narrative based on the latest research with a wonderful array of artwork by African American artists, works which add a new depth to our understanding of black history. Painter offers a history written for a new generation of African Americans, stretching from life in Africa before slavery to today`s hip-hop culture. The book describes the staggering number of Africans--over ten million--forcibly transported to the New World, most doomed to brutal servitude in Brazil and the Caribbean. Painter looks at the free black population, numbering close to half a million by 1860 (compared to almost four million slaves), and provides a gripping account of the horrible conditions of slavery itself. The book examines the Civil War, revealing that it only slowly became a war to end slavery, and shows how Reconstruction, after a… [detailed...]

Creating Central Park

2008 y.
Publisher: The Metropolitan Museum of Art
Description: The year 2008 marks the 150th anniversary of the design of Central Park, the first and arguably the most famous of America`s urban landscape parks. In October 1857 the new park`s board of commissioners announced a public design competition, and the following April the imaginative yet practicable `Greensward` plan submitted by Calvert Vaux and Frederick Law Olmsted was selected. This book tells the fascinating story of how an extraordinary work of public art emerged from the crucible of New York City politics. From William Cullen Bryant`s 1844 editorial calling for `a pleasure ground of shade and recreation` to the completion of construction in 1870, the history of Central Park is an urban epic - a tale not only of animosity, political intrigue, and desire but also of idealism, sacrifice, and genius.

Creating Cooperation: How States Develop Human Capital in Europe (Cornell Studies in Political Economy)

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionIn Creating Cooperation, Pepper D. Culpepper explains the successes and failures of human capital reforms adopted by the French and German governments in the 1990s. Employers and employees both stand to gain from corporate investment in worker skills, but uncertainty and mutual distrust among companies doom many policy initiatives to failure. Higher skills benefit society as a whole, so national governments want to foster them. However, business firms often will not invest in training that makes their workers more attractive to other employers, even though they would prefer having better-skilled workers. Culpepper sees in European training programs a challenge typical of contemporary problems of public policy: success increasingly depends on the ability of governments to convince private actors to cooperate with each other. In the United States as in Europe, he argues, policy-makers can achieve this goal only by incorporating the insights of private… [detailed...]
