This autobiography of Nathaniel Shilkret is an entertaining account of the professional life of one of the most influential musicians of the first half of the 20th century. Nathaniel Shilkret was often heralded as a musical genius by the leading media of his day, yet his monumental accomplishments are almost totally unknown today. Included in this book are a rare selection of media and photos, and an audio CD illustrating the highlights of Shilkret's prestigious career. Numerous anecdotes of his encounters with such prominent figures as Isadora Duncan, Gustav Mahler, Russ Columbo, and George Gershwin reveal the breadth and intimacy of Shilkret's influence in the creative community of his day. Several appendices identify the author's more than 400 compositions, his hundreds of radio broadcasts, and a list of the more than 240 motion pictures he was involved in producing. The discography and bibliography make this work an authoritative reference tool not only for a nostalgic audience, but also for music historians and scholars.

Nathaniel Southgate Shaler and the Culture of American Science

Nathaniel Southgate Shaler and the Culture of American Science

Nathaniel Southgate Shaler and the Culture of American Science is the first book-length study of the man who served a Harvard’s Professor of Geology and Paleontology during the Darwinian era. Shaler was a student of Louis Agassiz and went on to a successful, multifaceted career as a geologist, geographer, educator, humanist, and poet. Livingstone employs a thematic approach to chart Shaler’s career against the broader intellectual currents of America’s Gilded Age. After tracing Shaler’s life story from his boyhood in Kentucky through his student years at Harvard, his service with the Geological Survey, and eventually his years as Dean of Harvard’s Lawrence Scientific School, the author examines Shaler’s evolutionary vision and portrays his strategic efforts to reconcile the nineteenth century’s scientific and religious world views.Livingstone assesses Shaler’s prolific writings, including those on race, which demonstrate a typical concern to provide a “scientific” perspective on the political questions of immigration restriction and eugenic control. IN addition, the book explores his efforts to interweave geography and history, particularly in relation to the American frontier; and his contributions to geology and geomorphology. The portrait of Shaler is completed with a review of his educational thinking and his role in establishing the American Summer School and in furthering scientific and technological education.Nathaniel Southgate Shaler emerges from Livingstone’s work as a distinctive figure in the development of the new scientific culture, a figure who provides a focal point for assessing the impact of evolutionary naturalism on late-nineteenth-century American thought.

In 1853, when he was forty-nine and at the height of his literary career, Nathaniel Hawthorne accepted the post of U.S. consul at Liverpool, England, as a reward for writing the campaign biography of his college friend President Franklin Pierce. HawthorneAEs departure for Europe marked a turning point in his life. While Our Old Home, shrewd essays on his observations in England, The Marble Faun, a romance set in Italy, and the English Notebooks and French and Italian Notebooks were all results of his European residence, he returned to Concord in 1860 frustrated, depressed, and sick.
