Kennedy and King: The President, the Pastor, and the Battle Over Civil Rights

Kennedy and King: The President, the Pastor, and the Battle Over Civil Rights

Steven Levingston

Grand Central Publishing
2018
nidottu
A New York Times Editors' Choice Pick Kennedy and King is an unqualified masterpiece of historical narrative . . . A landmark achievement. -- Douglas Brinkley, New York Times bestselling author of Rosa Parks Kennedy and King traces the emergence of two of the twentieth century's greatest leaders, their powerful impact on each other and on the shape of the civil rights battle between 1960 and 1963. These two men from starkly different worlds profoundly influenced each other's personal development. Kennedy's hesitation on civil rights spurred King to greater acts of courage, and King inspired Kennedy to finally make a moral commitment to equality. As America still grapples with the legacy of slavery and the persistence of discrimination, Kennedy and King is a vital, vivid contribution to the literature of the Civil Rights Movement.

Barack and Joe

The extraordinary partnership of Barack Obama and Joe Biden is unique in American history. The two men, their characters and styles sharply contrasting, formed a dynamic working relationship that evolved into a profound friendship. Their affinity was not predestined. Obama and Biden began wary of each other: Obama an impatient freshman disdainful of the Senate's plodding ways; Biden a veteran of the chamber and proud of its traditions.Gradually they came to respect each other's values and strengths and rode into the White House together in 2008. Side-by-side through two tension-filled terms, they shared the day-to-day joys and struggles of leading the most powerful nation on earth. They accommodated each other's quirks: Biden's famous miscues kept coming, and Obama overlooked them knowing they were insignificant except as media fodder. With his expertise in foreign affairs and legislative matters, Biden took on an unprecedented role as chief adviser to Obama, reshaping the vice presidency. Together Obama and Biden guided Americans through a range of historic moments: a devastating economic crisis, racial confrontations, war in Afghanistan, and the dawn of same-sex marriage nationwide. They supported each other through highs and lows: Obama provided a welcome shoulder during the illness and death of Biden's son Beau.As many Americans turn a nostalgic eye toward the Obama presidency, Barack and Joe offers a new look at this administration, its absence of scandal, dedication to truth, and respect for the media. This is the first book to tell the full story of this historic relationship and its substantial impact on the Obama presidency and its legacy.

This is a story of Irving Sigal, a unique and enigmatic person in every way. Filled with humor, sadness, and success.At age 35, just as Irving was hitting his stride, it is all taken away with his tragic death on Pan Am 103.An impactful, illuminating, and heartfelt story that will leave readers of all ages with much to contemplate.Irving would have been an Indiana farmer had not his mother filled out and sent in a college application for her genius son. Convinced to attend Indiana University, not far from where he and his brother farmed, Irving catapulted to a Harvard Ph.D. Then to groundbreaking discoveries at the interface of molecular biology and biochemistry that lead to the first effective treatment of HIV/AIDS saving tens of thousands lives, changing the world.Insufficiently challenged by academics alone, Irving continuously sought unconventional ways to test his limits as he also confronted uninvited challenges. Some funny, some sad, most extreme and all intriguing.No one knew the entirety of Irving's adventures or offbeat experiments. Neither his wife nor siblings had the whole picture. Steve, Irving's childhood friend and college roommate, who struggles to overcome dyslexia, was one of the few to witness Irving's peculiar and extraordinary habits. A quick reading book with many widely interesting stories.

Pragmatism, Objectivity, and Experience

Pragmatism, Objectivity, and Experience

Steven Levine

Cambridge University Press
2019
sidottu
In this book Steven Levine explores the relation between objectivity and experience from a pragmatic point of view. Like many new pragmatists he aims to rehabilitate objectivity in the wake of Richard Rorty's rejection of the concept. But he challenges the idea, put forward by pragmatists like Robert Brandom, that objectivity is best rehabilitated in communicative-theoretic terms - namely, in terms that can be cashed out by capacities that agents gain through linguistic communication. Levine proposes instead that objectivity is best understood in experiential-theoretic terms. He explains how, in order to meet the aims of the new pragmatists, we need to do more than see objectivity as a norm of rationality embedded in our social-linguistic practices; we also need to see it as emergent from our experiential interaction with the world. Innovative and carefully argued, this book redeems and re-actualizes for contemporary philosophy a key insight developed by the classical pragmatists.

Twilight of Camelot: The Short Life and Long Legacy of Patrick Bouvier Kennedy

Twilight of Camelot: The Short Life and Long Legacy of Patrick Bouvier Kennedy

Steven Levingston

Gallery Books
2026
sidottu
From the author of the "insightful and well-crafted" (The Wall Street Journal) Kennedy and King comes a heart-wrenching and sensitive examination of the tragic loss of President John F. Kennedy and First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy's premature son, Patrick, and how their shared grief brought them closer together in the months leading up to his assassination. In April 1963, President Kennedy and the First Lady announced the pregnancy of their third child--joyful news after years of miscarriages and the stillborn birth of a daughter in 1956. But on August 7th, Patrick Bouvier Kennedy was born six weeks premature and died less than two days later. In this probing, soulful account of the struggle to save Patrick, Steven Levingston takes us inside the long-troubled relationship of Jack and Jackie as they faced one of the most difficult experiences of their marriage. With a "perceptive and eloquent" (The Christian Science Monitor) voice, Levingston reveals how Patrick's death, tragic as it was, ultimately brought the couple closer together and set the President on a trajectory to be a better husband and father in the months leading up to their fateful campaign trip to Dallas. For his definitive account of Patrick's brief but influential life, Levingston draws on first-ever interviews with doctors who treated Jackie and Patrick, never-published revelations of the Secret Service agent in whose speeding car Jackie in-premature-labor nearly gave birth, and on new archival documents. Twilight of Camelot is a fresh and humanizing portrait of one of the most famous and complicated couples of the 20th century, and a pulsating drama that illuminates one of the least-known periods in Kennedy family history.

Lacan Reframed

Lacan Reframed

Levine Steven

I.B. Tauris
2011
nidottu
Are your students baffled by Baudrillard? Dazed by Deleuze? Confused by Kristeva? Other beginners' guides can feel as impenetrable as the original texts to students who 'think in images'. "Contemporary Thinkers Reframed" instead uses the language of the arts to explore the usefulness in practice of complex ideas. Short, contemporary and accessible, these lively books utilise actual examples of artworks, films, television shows, works of architecture, fashion and even computer games to explain and explore the work of the most commonly taught thinkers. Conceived specifically for the visually minded, the series will prove invaluable to students right across the visual arts. Single-handedly responsible for the influential and ominous notion of 'the gaze', quoted by everybody yet fully understood by few, Lacan's work can be difficult to grasp. Going back to basics, this introduction guides the reader through Lacan's key concepts by looking at art from the Mona Lisa through to Bridget Riley's paintings, and by looking afresh at key works discussed by Lacan himself, from Holbein's famous 'The Ambassadors' to Velazquez's 'Las Meninas'. Making sense of Lacan's sometimes convoluted style, this highly readable introduction to one of the most frequently quoted thinkers also explores the reasons why human beings make - and look at - art.

Arc of Empire

Arc of Empire

Hunt Michael H.; Levine Steven I.

The University of North Carolina Press
2014
nidottu
Although conventionally treated as separate, America's four wars in Asia were actually phases in a sustained U.S. bid for regional dominance, according to Michael H. Hunt and Steven I. Levine. This effort unfolded as an imperial project in which military power and the imposition of America's political will were crucial. Devoting equal attention to Asian and American perspectives, the authors follow the long arc of conflict across seventy-five years from the Philippines through Japan and Korea to Vietnam, tracing along the way American ambition, ascendance, and ultimate defeat. They show how these wars are etched deeply in eastern Asia's politics and culture.The authors encourage readers to confront the imperial pattern in U.S. history with implications for today's Middle Eastern conflicts. They also offer a deeper understanding of China's rise and Asia's place in today's world.For instructors: An Online Instructor's Manual is available, with teaching tips for using Arc of Empire in graduate and undergraduate courses on America's wars in Asia. It includes lecture topics, chronologies, and sample discussion questions.

Monet, Narcissus, and Self-Reflection

Steven Z. Levine

University of Chicago Press
1995

This text provides an understanding of the life and work of Claude Monet and the myth of the modern artist. Levine analyzes the extensive critical reception of Monet and the artist's own writings in the context of the story of Narcissus, popular in late 19th-century France. Through a balance of psychoanalytical theory and historical study, he identifies narcissism and obsession as driving forces in Monet's art and demonstrates how meaning is derived from the accumulated responses to the work.
