2 Short Stories for Your Coffee Break: Jean-Marie LeClair and James T. Kirk

Jean-Marie Leclair was an unsolved murder mystery of the 18th century. He should not have been known for that. He founded the French school of violin. But he was stabbed in the back and neck 3 times, killed in the vestibule of his own home in 1764. He was a great violinist and composer for King Louis XV of France. No one was ever arrested, not Louise Roussel, his ex-wife, who did the engraving of his compositions for him, and not the envious nephew, Guillaume-Fran ois Vial, who wanted his uncle to promote him to the KIng. Nobody was ever brought to justice. In the meantime, fast forward to the year 2328, and the task which Captain James T. Kirk has been assigned to bring back to the future 6 of the best violinists of all time to have a fiddle contest at the Hollywood Bowl. The slight hitch is that the Captain with Montgomery Scott's help needs to go back to 1901 and borrow H. G. Wells' Time Machine. One of the contenders in the Battle of the Violins is, of course, Jean-Marie Leclair

When James T. Whitehead (or 'Big Jim', as friends knew him) passed away in 2003, Fayetteville and the University of Arkansas lost one of its finest poets and beloved teachers. In 1965, Whitehead joined with his friend William Harrison to found the University's Creative Writing Program. He taught in that nationally prestigious program for the next thirty-four years, from 1965 to 1999. He was a recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship in fiction and a Robert Frost Fellowship in poetry. Whitehead's novel, ""Joiner"" (University of Arkansas Press), was listed among the ""New York Times""' Noteworthy Books of 1971. His many poetry collections include ""Domains"" (1967), ""Local Men"" (1979), and ""Near at Hand"" (1993). With his untimely passing, Whitehead left a large body of work unpublished. In this anthology of original poetry, short fiction, essays, and remembrances, twenty-four of Whitehead's colleagues, students, and friends join in celebrating the man's life and contribution to American letters. Included are posthumous works by Whitehead himself: six poems, an excerpt of creative nonfiction, and a draft-excerpt from ""Coldstream"", projected sequel to ""Joiner"".

Broyhill (R-NC) recounting stories from his 95 years of family life and public life of service to the citizens of North Carolina and the nation as a U.S. Congressman and Senator for 24 years from 1963-1984 and thereafter as Secretary of Commerce for the State of North Carolina. He recounts in first-person about growing up in Lenoir, working jobs after school and weekends, going off to the University of North Carolina where he met Louise Robbins, his bride of 73 years. He shares about his work life at Broyhill Furniture Industries, his introduction to politics and his experiences in Washington, D. C, and abroad across two-and-a-half decades of public service. He shares his thoughts on Statesmanship, Friendship, and presents in delightful detail a talk he enjoyed presenting, "Presidents I Have Known." Added to his reminiscences and commentary are recollections and appreciations from those who worked with him and for him. As well, this volume includes the eulogies delivered at his funeral and published tributes at his passing which confirm that Senator James T. Broyhill left a legacy of service to his constituents which set him apart notably from other elected officials and explain why he, as a leader in the Republican Party, was lauded and loved by many, and most especially by his extensive family of children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.

Toward Democracy

Toward Democracy

James T. Kloppenberg

Oxford University Press Inc
2019
nidottu
In this magnificent and encyclopedic overview, James T. Kloppenberg presents the history of democracy from the perspective of those who struggled to envision and achieve it. The story of democracy remains one without an ending, a dynamic of progress and regress that continues to our own day. In the classical age "democracy" was seen as the failure rather than the ideal of good governance. Democracies were deemed chaotic and bloody, indicative of rule by the rabble rather than by enlightened minds. Beginning in the 16th and 17th centuries, however, first in Europe and then in England's North American colonies, the reputation of democracy began to rise, resulting in changes that were sometimes revolutionary and dramatic, sometimes gradual and incremental. Kloppenberg offers a fresh look at how concepts and institutions of representative government developed and how understandings of self-rule changed over time on both sides of the Atlantic. Notions about what constituted true democracy preoccupied many of the most influential thinkers of the Western world, from Montaigne and Roger Williams to Milton and John Locke; from Rousseau and Jefferson to Wollstonecraft and Madison; and from de Tocqueville and J. S. Mill to Lincoln and Frederick Douglass. Over three centuries, explosive ideas and practices of democracy sparked revolutions--English, American, and French--that again and again culminated in civil wars, disastrous failures of democracy that impeded further progress. Comprehensive, provocative, and authoritative, Toward Democracy traces self-government through three pivotal centuries. The product of twenty years of research and reflection, this momentous work reveals how nations have repeatedly fallen short in their attempts to construct democratic societies based on the principles of autonomy, equality, deliberation, and reciprocity that they have claimed to prize. Underlying this exploration lies Kloppenberg's compelling conviction that democracy was and remains an ethical ideal rather than merely a set of institutions, a goal toward which we continue to struggle.

This is the first comparative study of ideas and politics in France, Germany, the US, and Great Britain between 1870 and 1920 - a period when two generations of European and American intellectuals created a transatlantic community of philosophical and political discourse. In particular, it demonstrates how a number of thinkers from different traditions converged to create the theoretical foundations for new programmes of social democracy and progressivism.

Toward Democracy

Toward Democracy

James T. Kloppenberg

Oxford University Press Inc
2016
sidottu
The history of democracy, in addition to being a tale of social movements and political and economic developments, is also a story of ideas. In Toward Democracy, James T. Kloppenberg explores this story of ideas, focusing on the evolution of democracy in Britain's North American colonies and then in the United States. By concentrating on historical figures whose pivotal texts and framed arguments helped form the concept of democracy, he examines how American ideas and practices both descended and diverged from earlier European, and particularly English, models. Kloppenberg also shows how American thought, in return, profoundly influenced European ideas about democracy--both negatively and positively. Toward Democracy presents the history of democracy from the perspective of those who helped to form its principles. Kloppenberg neither condemns nor endorses these thinkers, but rather offers a fresh look at how these initial democratic ideals have shifted over time. He argues that democracy has remained an ethical model rather than a mere set of institutions, and sheds light on the many failures faced by democracy and its advocates. This discrepancy--between intentions and results--constitutes the tragic irony of democracy. From the beginnings of democracy in the ancient world, through the Enlightenment, and past the French Revolution, James T. Kloppenberg's authoritative work traces the transformation of democracy over centuries, and reveals how nations have repeatedly failed in their attempts to construct democratic societies based on the autonomy and reciprocity they so prized.

Songs of Zion

Songs of Zion

James T. Campbell

Oxford University Press Inc
1995
sidottu
This is a study of the transplantation of a creed devised by and for African Americans--the African Methodist Episcopal Church--that was appropriated and transformed in a variety of South African contexts. Focusing on a transatlantic institution like the African Methodist Episcopal Church, the book studies the complex human and intellectual traffic that has bound African American and South African experience. It explores the development and growth of the African Methodist Episcopal Church both in South Africa and America, and the interaction between the two churches. This is a highly innovative work of comparative and religious history. Its linking of the United States and African black religious experiences is unique and makes it appealing to readers interested in religious history and black experience in both the United States and South Africa.
