America`s Girl: The Incredible Story of How Swimmer Gertrude Ederle Changed the Nation

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: America’s Girl is an intimate look at the life and trials of Gertrude Ederle, who in 1926 not only became the first woman to swim across the English Channel, but broke the record set by men. The feat so thrilled America that it welcomed her home with a ticker tape parade that drew two million people. This fascinating portrait follows Ederle from her early days as a competitive swimmer through her gold medal triumph at the 1924 Olympics, to the first attempt the next year by Ederle to swim from France to England in frigid and turbulent waters, a feat that had been conquered by only five men up to that time. This is also a stirring look at the go-go era of the 1920s, when the country was about to recognize that women not only could vote, but compete on an international scale as athletes. At the height of Prohibition, Ederle’s triumph over the formidable Channel was a triumph for women everywhere. America’s Girl immerses readers in a pivitol era of American history and brings to life the… [detailed...]

Murray N. Rothbard
America`s Great Depression

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Applied Austrian economics doesn`t get better than this. Murray N. Rothbard`s America`s Great Depression is a staple of modern economic literature and crucial for understanding a pivotal event in American and world history. The Mises Institute edition features, along with a new introduction by historian Paul Johnson, top-quality paper and bindings, in line with the standard set by The Scholars Edition of Human Action . Since it first appeared in 1963, it has been the definitive treatment of the causes of the depression. The book remains canonical today because the debate is still very alive. Rothbard opens with a theoretical treatment of business cycle theory, showing how an expansive monetary policy generates imbalances betweeninvestment and consumption. He proceeds to examine the Fed`s policies of the 1920s, demonstrating that it was quite inflationary even if the effects did not show up in the price of goods and services. He showed that the stock market… [detailed...]

It is a valuable contribution to the public dialogue.”—Robert Jervis, Saltzman Institute of War and Peace Studies, Columbia University “This book will be a significant intellectual marker in the ongoing debate about American national strategy in the post–Cold War era.

America`s Inadvertent Empire

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: The United States finds itself at the center of a historically unparalleled empire, one that is wealth-generating and voluntary rather than imperialistic, say the authors of this compelling book. William E. Odom and Robert Dujarric examine America`s unprecedented power within the international arenas of politics, economics, demographics, education, science, and culture. They argue persuasively that the major threat to this unique empire is ineffective U.S. leadership, not a rising rival power center. America cannot simply behave as an ordinary sovereign state, Odom and Dujarric contend. They describe the responsibilities that accompany staggering power advantages and explain that resorting to unilateralism makes sense only when it becomes necessary to overcome paralysis in multilateral organizations. The authors also offer insights into the importance of liberal international institutions as a source of power, why international cooperation pays, and why spreading democracy often… [detailed...]

Publisher: —
Description: `No American city symbolizes the black struggle for civil rights more than Birmingham, Alabama. In this critical analysis of why Birmingham became such a focal point, Bobby M. Wilson argues that Alabama`s path to industrialism differed significantly fromthat in the North and Midwest. True to its antebellum roots, no other industrial city in the United States would depend so much upon the exploitation of black labor so early in its development as Birmingham. A persuasive exploration of the links between Alabama`s slaveholding order and the subsequent industrialization of the state, Wilson`s study demonstrates that arguments based on classical economics fail to take into account the ways in which racial issues influenced the rise of industrial capitalism.` [detailed...]

Description: A groundbreaking, meticulously researched account of Aramco as a microcosm of the colonial order, now newly updated.America`s Kingdom debunks the many myths that now surround the United States`s special relationship with Saudi Arabia, also known as `the deal`: oil for security. Exploding the long-established myth that the Arabian American Oil Company, Aramco, made miracles happen in the desert, Robert Vitalis shows how oil led the US government to follow the company to the kingdom, and how oil and Aramco quickly became America`s largest single overseas private enterprise.From the establishment in the 1930s of a Jim Crow system in the Dhahran oil camps, modeled on similar labor camps set up in Latin America, the book examines the period of unrest in the 1950s and 1960s when workers challenged the racial hierarchy of Aramco while a small cadre of progressive Saudis challenged the hierarchy of the international oil market. The defeat of these groups led to the consolidation of America`s… [detailed...]

America`s Mom : The Life, Lessons, and Legacy of Ann Landers

Description: Book Description For two generations of Americans, reading Ann Landers`s daily column was as important as eating breakfast. For nearly fifty years an entire nation turned to this quick-witted, worldly-wise counselor for advice on everything from dinneretiquette to sex. But who was the woman behind the byline? Iowa-born Eppie Lederer was first hired by the Chicago Sun-Times to take over the daily advice column in 1955 -- and over the next half-century she helped shape the nation`s social and sexual landscape. Award-winning journalist Rick Kogan was Ann Landers`s last editor and close friend, and he paints a fascinating, full-bodied account of the triumphs, the wisdom, the courage, and the trials of one of the twentieth century`s most enduring icons -- including her painful lifelong feud with her identical twin sister, `Dear Abby`, her stubborn refusal to shy away from even the most controversial topics, and the tragic breakup of her own thirty-six-year… [detailed...]

America`s Original GI Town : Park Forest, Illinois (Creating the North American Landscape)

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book Description At the close of World War II, Americans became increasingly concerned about the problem of housing for returning veterans, relocated defense workers, and their families. Designs such as the garden city that dated from the turn of the twentieth century or earlier were prominent once again, as planners saw a renewed need for ready-made communities. One such community--among the first and, perhaps, most representative -- was Park Forest, Illinois, a privately built and publicly managed town twenty-six miles south of Chicago. In this book, Gregory Randall presents the history of the planning, design, construction, and growth of Park Forest. He shows how planners -- who dubbed the new community a `GI town` -- drew on lessons learned from English garden cities and New Deal greenbelt towns to cope with America`s emerging peacetime housing crisis. He also shows how this new town changed community planning throughout the United States, including its effects on… [detailed...]

The three regimes, which mark longer periods of continuity than traditional eras reflect, are Deferential and Republican, from the colonial period to the 1820s, Party and Democratic, from the 1830s to the 1930s, and Populist and Bureaucratic, from the 1930s to the present. Praised by The Economist as `a feast to enjoy` and by Foreign Affairs as `a masterful and fresh account of U.S. politics,` here is a major contribution to the history of the United States--an entirely new way to look at our past, our present, and our future--packed with provocative and original observations about American public life.
