California Farm Organizations

California Farm Organizations

Clarke A. Chambers

University of California Press
2022
sidottu
This academic book, A Historical Study of the Grange, the Farm Bureau, and the Associated Farmers, 1929–1941 by Clarke A. Chambers, offers a detailed exploration of California's agricultural organizations during a transformative period. It examines the economic, social, and political dynamics that shaped farm policies and labor relations amid the Great Depression. With in-depth analyses of the California Grange, Farm Bureau, and Associated Farmers, the book illuminates their differing strategies, internal structures, and impacts on state and national politics. Chambers meticulously investigates their roles in pivotal issues such as labor disputes, tax reform, and agricultural legislation, offering valuable insights for scholars of agricultural history, labor relations, and political economy. Rooted in archival research and enriched by primary sources, this study underscores the interplay between economic pressures and organizational responses within California's unique agricultural landscape. The book captures the complex relationships between small farmers, large-scale agribusinesses, and political movements, highlighting the influence of these organizations on public policy and labor dynamics. A vital resource for historians and political scientists, this work remains a seminal reference for understanding the evolution of agricultural advocacy and policy in 20th-century America. This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press’s mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in 1952.

Lancashire and the New Liberalism

Lancashire and the New Liberalism

Clarke P. F.

Cambridge University Press
2007
pokkari
Why was there a Liberal Government in Britain from 1905 until the First World War? And why was the Liberal party replaced by the Labour party so shortly afterwards? These are the kinds of problems which Dr Clarke examines in his study of the Liberal revival in Lancashire. The vote in north-west England was largely responsible for bringing the Liberal Government into power and for maintaining its position, but it also produced almost half the new Labour MP's in 1906. Thus any satisfactory interpretation of electoral history in the early twentieth century must account for what happened in Lancashire. This book calls into question many of the conventional assumptions about British politics in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

A Clinical Guide to Inherited Metabolic Diseases

A Clinical Guide to Inherited Metabolic Diseases

Clarke Joe T. R.

Cambridge University Press
1996
pokkari
This user-friendly handbook is intended to help the busy physician with that first critical step in clinical diagnosis: how to determine that this is an inherited metabolic disease, and where one goes from here to establish a diagnosis. The well-illustrated text is organised around the clinical presentation of the disease, to facilitate rapid diagnosis, and then clearly explains how to go about identifying the underlying biochemical and genetic lesion. It will therefore complement those more traditional textbooks of metabolic disease which are organised biochemically, but which are of less practical use in the doctor's clinic or surgery. The book is intended to serve as an entrance to the discipline, to help nonexpert physicians and advanced medical trainees to overcome the intimidation they are accustomed to experiencing when dealing with metabolic problems.

The Politics of Early Modern Women's Writing

The Politics of Early Modern Women's Writing

Clarke Danielle

Longman
2001
nidottu
The Politics of Early Modern Women's Writing provides an introduction to the ever-expanding field of early modern women's writing by reading texts in their historical and social contexts. Covering a wide range of forms and genres, the author shows that rather than women conforming to the conventional 'chaste, silent and obedient' model, or merely working from the 'margins' of Renaissance culture, they in fact engaged centrally with many of the major ideas and controversies of their time. The book discusses many previously neglected texts and authors, as well as more familiar figures such as Mary Sidney, Countess of Pembroke, Isabella Whitney and Lady Mary Wroth, and draws attention to the importance of genre and forms of circulation in the production of meaning. The Politics of Early Modern Women will be of interest both to those encountering this material for the first time, and to students and scholars working in the fields of women's writing, gender studies, history and literature.

Spirit Possession and Popular Religion

Spirit Possession and Popular Religion

Clarke Garrett

Johns Hopkins University Press
1998
pokkari
Pietists, Methodists, and sectarian groups such as the Shakers all shared the conviction that God touched the individual directly and visibly; manifestations of spirit possession, accompanied by prophecy, visions, and ecstatic seizures, became outward signs of an inner expedience, a kind of sacred theater as believers acted out their possession before others. Clarke Garrett follows this "sacred theater"back to the Camisards of southeastern France, an ecstatic Protestant group whose doomed rebellion against Louis XIV led to their dispersal among Huguenot exiles. Then, Garrett writes, "in a form that the Huguenots themselves would probably not have recognized, a dozen English ecstatics, who in their native Manchester had been known as Shakers, brought Huguenot spirit possession to America in 1774."The Shakers emerge as the culmination of the century's religious quest, preserving the immediacy of spirit possession while making it the basis for the formation of an ideal Christian community. Originally published as Spirit Possession and Popular Religion: From the Comisards to the Shakers

Paul U. Kellogg and the Survey

Paul U. Kellogg and the Survey

Clarke A. Chambers

University of Minnesota Press
1971
nidottu
Paul U. Kellogg and the Survey was first published in 1971. Minnesota Archive Editions uses digital technology to make long-unavailable books once again accessible, and are published unaltered from the original University of Minnesota Press editions.This joint biography of an editor, Paul U. Kellogg, and a journal, the Survey,provides new insights into the story of social work, social welfare policy, and political and social reform in the United States during the first half of the twentieth century. Under Kellogg's editorship, the Survey and Survey Graphic journals stood at the heart of the evolution of social work as a profession and the development of a public social welfare policy during those years. Early in his career, in 1901, Kellogg joined the staff of the Charities Review,the leading social service publication at that time. In 1912 he became editor in chief of the successor to that journal, the Survey, and he held this position of leadership for forty years until the magazine ceased publication. The journals Kellogg edited played a major role in shaping and defining areas and methods of social service in all its diverse fields — the settlement movement, casework, recreation and group work, community organization, and social action. They carried news in depth about all manner of social work practice—juvenile courts, penology, health, education, institutional care, public relief, the administration of social insurance, and other aspects. The Survey's influence was profound in promoting the elaboration of public policy in social welfare fields, such as housing reform, workmen's compensation, the rights of organized labor, old age and survivors' insurance, unemployment compensation, aid to dependent children, and health insurance. Thus this account represents an important chapter in American social history.

Seedtime of Reform

Seedtime of Reform

Clarke A. Chambers

University of Minnesota Press
1963
nidottu
Seedtime of Reform was first published in 1963. Minnesota Archive Editions uses digital technology to make long-unavailable books once again accessible, and are published unaltered from the original University of Minnesota Press editions.This is a detailed history of the social welfare movement in the United States during the period from the end of World War I to the inauguration of President Franklin D. Roosevelt, an era which most historians characterize as one of normalcy and reaction. In his book Professor Chambers demonstrates that this was actually a seedtime of reform, a period when the groundwork was laid for many of the sweeping social changes which were to take place under the New Deal.While it is true, as the author points out, that the years from 1918 to 1933 were not hospitable to the cause of reform, it was during these years that reform leaders and welfare workers (and the associations and agencies they directed) elaborated new theories and programs of action to alleviate, prevent, and overcome certain persisting social ills. Although little was constructively achieved until new political leadership, operating in the context of acute and prolonged economic crisis, acted in the 1930s, much of what we identify as the New Deal was rooted not only in prewar progressivism but in the research, agitation, and welfare services of the 1920s as well. Reformers and welfare workers made especially significant contributions in the areas of housing, social security, public works, federal responsibility for dependent groups in society, and working conditions.

Character, Community, and Politics

Character, Community, and Politics

Clarke E. Cochran

The University of Alabama Press
2019
nidottu
A classic political philosophy text, available again The revival of political philosophy has frequently assumed that a theory of human well-being and fulfillment is necessary, preoccupied with questions of epistemology and technical conceptual analysis. In instances where the nature of the human good is considered, the paradigm of autonomous individualism customarily dominates. In Character, Community, and Politics, Cochran moves away from these prevailing ideas to develop a communal theory of political order, helping to redefine a number of fundamental, but often neglected, ideas. Chief among them are commitment, community, responsibility, and character--concepts Cochran develops through discussions of authority, freedom, pluralism, and the common good. Drawing on a wide variety of fields, such as philosophy, ethics, literature, moral theology, and sociology, the author renews these concepts to outline a theory of human life and political order distinct from sclerotic categories such as conservatism, socialism, radicalism, or Marxism.

Overturned

Overturned

Clarke Rountree

THE UNIVERSITY OF ALABAMA PRESS
2025
nidottu
A timely and lively summary and analysis of the Supreme Court’s justifications for overruling nearly 300 prior rulings in its historyAn audacious US Supreme Court is overturning a number of long-standing precedents, and Overturned offers a lively account of the court’s history of overturning prior cases and examples and analyses of 300 cases overruled in its history. The immense controversy surrounding the case of Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization in 2022, which overruled Roe v. Wade and erased the constitutional right to abortion in the United States, has focused public attention on how and why the Supreme Court knocks down long-established precedents. In his vivid and accessible style, scholar Clarke Rountree recounts the rhetorical pirouettes and linguistic acrobatics the court has deployed to explain its reversal of Dobbs and numerous other landmark decisions. He reviews strategies the court uses to undermine a previous court’s standing without undermining its own. He analyzes overrulings across time, by type (constitutional cases versus statutory and common law cases), by the ages of the overturned precedents, with changes in the court’s membership, and through other variables. Rountree gives engrossing accounts of pivotal overrulings in the past, such as when Lincoln’s Treasury Secretary Salmon Chase used the Legal Tender Act in 1862 to raise money for the Civil War then ruled the same law unconstitutional in 1870 when he served as chief justice. Rountree retells Thomas Edison’s attempt to monopolize the burgeoning film industry, which was stopped only when the Supreme Court overturned an earlier patent-rights case in 1917. Finally, Rountree applies his myriad insights to the politically fraught Dobbs case.Overruled makes a valuable contribution to law, rhetoric, politics, and history, and readers interested in the role and function of America’s highest court will find Rountree’s account fast-paced, lively, and engaging.

Front-Page Pittsburgh

Front-Page Pittsburgh

Clarke Thomas

University of Pittsburgh Press
2005
sidottu
The first issue of the Pittsburgh Gazette was published on Saturday, August 12, 1786. Nearly 220 years later, it lives on as the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, the dominant paper in a major U.S. city: survivor of name changes, ownership sales, numerous mergers, and a competitive landscape once populated by more than fifty newspapers. Clarke Thomas's history of the paper stretches from the Whiskey Rebellion to the controversies surrounding the North Shore and downtown redevelopments of today. By focusing on what stories were reported-and how-he adds a fascinating dimension to the history of Pittsburgh and its people.The story of the Post-Gazette is inextricably entwined with that of its city. Thomas reveals how the paper and its predecessors have influenced local politics and business, through behind-the-scenes personal connections as well as the editorial positions advocated by the publishers. By looking closely at key business decisions, Thomas illustrates how the first newspaper published west of the Alleghenies emerged as the last one standing in Pittsburgh following the devastating labor strike of 1992.Over the years, almost every reader of the Post-Gazette has found something to complain about. To Republicans, the paper often seemed uncritically supportive of officials elected by an overwhelmingly Democratic electorate. To Democrats, the frequent revelations of misbehavior by various public officials amounted to party harassment. Neither group was happy with the Post-Gazette's reputation as a "switch-hitter" in endorsing candidates of both parties. The paper's editorial positions frequently have come under fire. Many readers did not agree with the newspaper's support of the civil rights movement and school desegregation in the 1960s. Roman Catholics have been troubled by the Post-Gazette's pro-choice stance on abortion. Jewish readers have been upset with the emphasis on the rights of Palestinians in the discussion of Arab-Israeli relations. Business leaders have decried the shift away from the stridently pro-business principles the Post-Gazette espoused in the mid-twentieth century. Progressive political groups complain that it hasn't shifted far enough to reflect the current needs of the city. In the end, however, many Pittsburghers have come to trust and respect the paper's fairness in dealing with various viewpoints. And, as Thomas argues, this explains why-from the Johnstown Flood to the crash of USAir flight 427-whenever Pittsburghers have needed or wanted the news, they have turned to the Post-Gazette.

African Art in the Barnes Foundation

African Art in the Barnes Foundation

Clarke Christa

Skira Rizzoli
2015
sidottu
The first publication of the Barnes Foundation's important and extensive African art collection. The Barnes Foundation is renowned for its astonishing collection of Postimpressionist and early Modern art assembled by Albert C. Barnes, a Philadelphia pharmaceutical entrepreneur. Less known is the pioneering collection of African sculpture that Barnes acquired between 1922 and 1924, mainly from Paul Guillaume, the Paris-based dealer. The Barnes Foundation was one of the first permanent installations in the United States to present objects from Africa as fine art. Indeed, the African collection is central to understanding Barnes's socially progressive vision for his foundation. This comprehensive volume showcases all 123 objects, including reliquary figures, masks, and utensils, most of which originated in France's African colonies-Mali, Cote d'Ivoire, Gabon, and the Congo-as well as in Sierra Leone, Republic of Benin, and Nigeria. Christa Clarke considers the significance of the collection and Barnes's role in the Harlem Renaissance and in fostering broader appreciation of African art in the twentieth century. In-depth catalogue entries by noted scholars in the field complete the volume.
