American Foreign Policy Since World War II

2006 y.
Publisher: CQ Press
Description: Despite its status as the world`s lone superpower, the United States confronts a variety of serious challenges in the world today: ongoing wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, nuclear tensions involving Iran and North Korea, and strained American relations with allies in the European Union and the United Nations. In updating their book, authors Hook and Spanier find that these new developments are in keeping with the overarching theme of their classic text--that there is an American `style` of foreign policy imbued with a distinct sense of national exceptionalism. Through a thorough understanding of the United States` past actions, students can then fully grasp the functions and frequent dysfunctions of the nation`s foreign-policy process. Providing a lively and concise review of the conduct of American foreign policy since World War II, early chapters are strengthened by new historical findings, while recent developments since 9/11 receive thorough treatment and analysis.

Description: Age is the most important indicator of lifestyle, determining educational attainment, household composition, labor force status, income, wealth, and spending patterns. American Generations explores all these areas so you can quickly and easily see the trends?without having to do the number crunching yourself. The fourth edition of American Generations compares and contrasts the five living age groups: Millennials, born 1977-94, Generation X, born 1965-76, Baby Boom, born 1946-64, Swing, born 1933-1945, and World War II generation, born before 1933.

Hughes his reputation as one of the foremost historians of technology of our age and a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in 1990, American Genesis tells the sweeping story of America`s technological revolution. Unlike other histories of technology, which focus on particular inventions like the light bulb or the automobile, American Genesis makes these inventions characters in a broad chronicle, both shaped by and shaping a culture. By weaving scientific and technological advancement into other cultural trends, Hughes demonstrates here the myriad ways in which the two are inexorably linked, and in a new preface, he recounts his earlier missteps in predicting the future of technology and follows its move into the information age.

Released from prison the day after his beloved wife dies in a car accident, Shadow takes a job as emissary for Mr. Wednesday, avatar of the Norse god Grimnir, unaware that his boss`s recruiting trip across the American heartland will subject him to repeat visits from the reanimated corpse of his dead wife and brutal roughing up by the goons of Wednesday`s adversary,Е [detailed...]

From its controversial unveiling at a juried exhibition at the Art Institute of Chicago seventy-five years ago to its eventual acceptance and recognition as a true work of art, American Gothic has seeped into the American psyche and become a beloved piece of Americana.

2005 y.
Publisher: Ч
Description: The origins and multiple meanings of Grant Wood`s indelible portrait. Is there anyone who has not seen the sturdy Iowa farmer with his pitchfork and his thin-lipped wife or daughter? Ever since it met the public eye in 1930, the work titled American Gothic has elicited admiration, disgust, reverence, and ridicule?and has been reproduced hundreds of thousands of times, in every medium. Painted by a self-proclaimed `bohemian` who studied in Paris, the image was first seen as a critique of Midwestern Puritanism and what H. L. Mencken called `the booboisie.` During the Depression, it came to represent endurance in hard times through the quintessential American values of thrift, work, and faith. Later, in television, advertising, politics, and popular culture, American Gothic evolved into parody?all the while remaining a lodestar by which one might measure closeness to or distance from the American heartland. With broad perspective, acute insight,Е [detailed...]
