A Progressive History of American Democracy Since 1945

A Progressive History of American Democracy Since 1945

Chris J. Magoc

TAYLOR FRANCIS LTD
2021
nidottu
A Progressive History of American Democracy Since 1945: American Dreams, Hard Realities offers a social, political, and cultural history of the United States since World War II.Unpacking a period of profound transformation unprecedented in the national experience, this book takes a synthetic approach to the history of the 1940s to the present day. It examines how Americans descended from a mid-century apogee of boundless expectations to the unsettling premise that our contemporary historical moment is fraught with a sense of crisis and national failure. The book’s narrative explores the question of decline and more importantly, how the history of this transformation can point the way toward a recovery of shared national values. Chris J. Magoc also gives extensive treatments to the following: Grassroots movements that have expanded the meaning of American democracy, from the 1950s human rights struggle in the South to contemporary movements to confront systemic racism and the existential crisis of climate change. The resilience of American democracy in the face of antidemocratic forces. The impacts of a decades-long economic transformation. The consequences of America’s expanding global military footprint and national security state. Fracturing of a nation once held together by a post-war liberal consensus and broadly shared societal goals to an America facing an attack from within on empirical truth and democracy itself. This book will be of interest to students of modern U.S. history, social history, and American Studies, and general readers interested in recent U.S. history.

Grozzlesnark the Dragon

Grozzlesnark the Dragon

Chris J Irving

various Australia publishers
2021
pokkari
The story has an intriguing plot involving a wicked dragon who is terrorising a village, a small group of children and a wizard. The hero has a hair-raising plan to deal with the dragon. The only problem with his plan is that it would almost certainly involve him being caught and eaten by the dragon. Fortunately, his meeting with a wizard introduces the necessary magic into the situation to transform what was an impossible plan into one, which whilst still extremely dangerous, contains at least the possibility of success. Mattrass, the hero of the story, enlists a group of children who work together to help carry out his plan. This is an exciting story that will captivate and thrill its readers, and its unexpected ending will further stimulate the imagination of the children who read it.The exquisitely vibrant colour illustrations in each chapter support and enhance the plot.

The Presidency and Economic Policy

The Presidency and Economic Policy

Chris J. Dolan; John Frendreis; Raymond Tatalovich

Rowman Littlefield Publishers
2007
nidottu
The health of the American economy is a topic of discussion among undergraduate students in public policy and the American presidency. Policymakers and citizens also are concerned with economic prosperity and the problems associated with unemployment, taxation, health care, trade, and inflation as well as other economic issues. While the study of the economy may be a primary concern for scholars, most people care more about how economic performance and presidential economic policymaking impacts their daily lives. Therefore, the purpose of this book is to provide undergraduates and laypersons with a blueprint of the performance of the economy and the ability of the president to manage economic policy. Little has been published on the specific nexus between the presidency and economic policy. The goal of this updated and streamlined text is to provide students with an examination of the historical and substantive policy issues that shape the relationship between the American presidency and the economy.

The Lost Soldier

The Lost Soldier

Chris J. Hartley

Stackpole Books
2018
sidottu
The Lost Soldier offers a perspective on World War II we don’t always get from histories and memoirs. Based on the letters home of Pete Lynn, the diary of his wife, Ruth, and meticulous research in primary and secondary sources, this book recounts the war of a married couple who represent so many married couples, so many soldiers, in World War II. The book tells the story of this couple, starting with their life in North Carolina and recounting how the war increasingly insinuated itself into the fabric of their lives, until Pete Lynn was drafted, after which the war became the essential fact of their life. Author Chris J. Hartley intricately weaves together all threads—soldier and wife, home front and army life, combat, love and loss, individual and army division—into an intimate, engaging narrative that is at once gripping military history and engaging social history.

In War We Trust

In War We Trust

Chris J. Dolan

CRC Press Inc
2017
sidottu
There is a long-standing tradition in Western culture of differentiating between 'just' and 'unjust' wars. 11 September 2001 has stimulated a debate in the West which holds that although people who are opposed to war in principle may disagree that any such distinction can possibly be made, the basic ideas involved seem to present a plausible argument that there are times when war is, at the very least, just and politically necessary. These and other issues are addressed in this study. The consistent theme throughout this book is that significant ethical issues and moral dilemmas have been raised as they pertain to the forceful expression of American power via the Bush Doctrine's assertion of the right to engage in first strikes against states and non-states in the wake of the 11 September 2001 terrorist attacks. This book is intended for those with an interest in political science, history, leadership studies and foreign policy analysis.

Pacific Possessions

Pacific Possessions

Chris J. Thomas

The University of Alabama Press
2021
sidottu
Reframes Polynesia and Melanesia through analysis of nineteenth-century travel writing In Pacific Possessions: The Pursuit of Authenticity in Nineteenth-Century Oceanian Travel Accounts, Chris J. Thomas expands the literary canon on Polynesia and Melanesia beyond the giants, such as Herman Melville and Jack London, to include travel narratives by British and American visitors. These accounts were widely read and reviewed when they first appeared but have largely been ignored by scholars. For the first time, Thomas defines these writings as a significant literary genre. Recovering these works allows us to reconceive of nineteenth-century Oceania as a vibrant hub of cultural interchange. Pacific Possessions recaptures the polyphony of voices that enlivened this space through the writing of these travelers, while also paying attention to their Oceanian interlocutors. Each chapter centers on a Pacific cultural marker, what Thomas refers to as each writer's 'possession' the Tongan tattoo, the Hawaiian hula, the Fijian cannibal fork, and Robert Louis Stevenson's cache of South Seas photographs. Thomas analyzes how westerners formed narratives around these objects and what those objects meant within nineteenth-century Oceanian cultures. He argues that the accounts served to shape a version of Oceanian authenticity that persists today. The profiled traveler-writers had complex experiences, at times promoting exoticized exaggerations of so-called authentic Polynesian and Melanesian cultures and at other times genuinely engaging in cultural exchange. However, their views were ultimately compromised by a western lens. In Thomas's words, 'the authenticity is at once celebrated and written over.'

So Glorious a Landscape

So Glorious a Landscape

Chris J. Magoc

Rowman Littlefield
2001
nidottu
So Glorious a Landscape: Nature and the Environment in American History and Culture surveys the vast and interdiscipli-nary subject of American natural and environmental studies. It examines the literary landscape that has inspired a local, regional, and national sense of place; explores the dynamic meaning and significance of nature across time, place, culture, and gender; and looks at the essence and history of environmental change. The first all-encompassing introductory survey of environ-mental history and cultural studies, this volume provides students and scholars with carefully chosen selections from major essayists, naturalists, preachers, geographers,novelists, scientists, and historians whose works have shaped the fields of literary ecology and environmental history. The essays trace the changing American landscape and ideas about nature from the seventeenth century to the present. By analyzing a range of material, So Glorious a Landscape provides a fresh perspective on what nature is in American life, what forces have shaped its profound place and changing definition, and what the work of environmental historians tells about the relationship of nature, culture, and power in America. So Glorious a Landscape is an excellent resource for courses in American studies, environmental history, and American culture.

Following Jesus at Home at Work in all of Life

Following Jesus at Home at Work in all of Life

Chris J. Fenner

His Victory Publishing
2019
nidottu
FOLLOWING JESUS AT HOME AT WORK IN ALL OF LIFE is a 26 week guidebook to help you learn and experience how to have a close walk with Jesus in all of life, with a special focus of following Jesus at work. "Work" is used in the broad sense of those activities that are the primary focus of our weekdays including: paid employment, volunteer work, vocational work, and homemaker work....... I came to know our Lord Jesus Christ in midlife and spent two years away from my career in the oil industry seeking to find a different path of life that I thought the Lord was leading me to. At the end of these two years, however, it became clear I was to return to my previous type of work, but now in His service. As I started this new, and renewed, phase of life, the question came to my mind, "Okay, I am now a Christian. How am I supposed to behave?" In this I sought the Lord, and over a three-month period the writing for 'Knowing Him' (see the opening page of Part 1) came to me, which became an outline guide for my daily living. Over the next five years, I was led by the Lord to develop this single writing into a guidebook that I could use with other Christians to learn how to live for the Lord in all of life, including the workplace. It was through meeting with several different groups over the next twenty years that 'Following Jesus at Home at Work in all of Life' emerged in its final form ...... The emphasis is on following Jesus at work; however, this is only possible if it is integrated with following Jesus at home and in all of life. The focus of this guide is God's Word, and through the meditation on twenty-six topics―by daily reading of short passages of the Bible―God will lead you, speak to your heart, and reveal His presence to you in practical ways.
