"The Union" meant meant many things to Americans in the years between the Revolution and the Civil War. Nagel's thesis is that the idea served as a treasure-trove of the values and images by which Americans tried to understand their nature and destiny. By tracing the idea of Union through the crucial, formative years of America's history, he makes clear the nature of the intellectual and emotional responses Americans have had to their country.
Nagel's classic work deals with nineteenth-century America's coming awareness as a nation and its agonizing struggle to turn itself into a model republic. He perceptively explores the growth of American nationalism in its political, social, religious, economic, and literary implications. The resulting book is a vivid portrait of how America viewed itself, what concerned it deeply, and ultimately, of those forces in society that led to a new spirit of militant nationalism.
In the era of overland traders and steamboat pilots, of Thomas Hart Benton and Mark Twain, life in Missouri was strongly flavored by the Jeffersonian spirit, expressed in a suspicion of large cities, a belief that mankind flourished best in a rural setting, and a faith in the free individual as the guardian of liberty.
In this fascinating work, Paul Nagel tells the full story of George Caleb Bingham (1811-1879), one of America's greatest nineteenth-century painters. While Nagel assesses Bingham's artistic achievements, he also portrays another and very important part of the artist's career - his service as a statesman and political leader in Missouri. Until now, Bingham's public service has been largely forgotten, overshadowed by his triumph as a great artist. Yet Nagel finds there were times when Bingham yearned more to be a successful politician than to be a distinguished painter. Born in Virginia, Bingham moved with his family to Missouri when he was eight years old. He spent his youth in Arrow Rock, Missouri, and returned there as an adult. He also kept art studios in Columbia and St. Louis. In his last years, he served as the first professor of art at the University of Missouri in Columbia. Because of his ties to the state, he was known nationally as the ""Missouri artist."" Bingham's most distinguished public service to Missouri took place when violence erupted over the question of whether slaves should be allowed in Kansas. During the Civil War, he grew more politically involved and remained so throughout the bitter period of Reconstruction. From 1875 to 1877, Bingham served as Missouri's adjutant general, with most of that time spent in Washington, D. C., where he attempted to settle Missourians' war claims against the federal government. Contrary to the idyllic scenes portrayed in most of his paintings, Bingham's life ranged from moments of high achievement to times of intense distress and humiliation. His career was often touched by controversy, sorrow, and frustration. Personal letters and other manuscripts reveal Bingham's life to be quite complicated, and Nagel attempts to uncover the truth in this biography. Beautifully illustrated, this book includes a magnificent landscape entitled Horse Thief, which had been missing since Bingham painted it sometime around 1852. Recently discovered by art historian Fred R. Kline, this splendid work will appear in print for the first time. Anyone who has an interest in art, Missouri history, or politics will find this new book extremely valuable.
In the Beginning explores, synthesises, and distills current knowledge of early childhood development at the nexus of neuro-scientific discovery. The book's premise - that the brain has a remarkable capacity to change - is underpinned by extensive empirical research. With a deft touch and clarity, In the Beginning explains how the environment, relationships, and care - provided in the earliest stages of life - will have a long lasting impact on children's capacity to regulate their emotional responses and, ultimately, reach their potential. Compelling, authoritative, and highly engaging, In the Beginning provides a wealth of information for a diverse readership (including teachers, health professionals, and parents) with a shared interest in how the mind works and how life's experiences can influence child development and learning. Highly topical and reflective, the book covers chronological development from conception to six years. It draws on the latest international research linking child development and neuroscience, and its engaging style renders the science meaningful to a lay audience.
In the Middle: The adolescent brain, behaviour and learning explores current research into brain development in adolescence and the changes in the brain as humans move into adulthood. This book seeks to use neuroscience to help parents, teachers and adults better understand the changes that occur in the brain during the transition from childhood to adulthood. By understanding the science, we gain an opportunity to not only contribute positively to adolescent behaviour and learning but also enhance the day-to-day interactions and relationships that are vital to adolescent wellbeing.Following on from In the Beginning: The brain, early development and learning, In the Middle provides a wealth of information for a diverse readership - including health professionals, teachers and parents - with a shared interest in understanding the needs of young people and helping them realise their potential.Key features:Covers chronological development from pubescence to early adulthoodDraws on latest international research linking adolescent development and neuroscienceFocus on adolescent behaviour and how to understand and support adolescentsHighly accessible, engaging style that renders the science meaningful to a non-scientific market
The 90's was declared the "Decade of the Brain" and a flurry of research on brain development soon followed. The result: two decades on we now know more about the brain than we did since the first recorded writings 6000 years ago. Advances in technology and science have taught us a great deal and 'Nurturing a Healthy Mind' supports the growing consensus that research on brain development is relevant to parenting. At the beginning of the twenty-first century, parents and teachers are seeing the benefits of this research, with child rearing and education being shaped by new understandings of the human brain. It is becoming wider knowledge that the interactions between our genetic makeup, early experiences and environmental influences shape the architecture of the developing brain. And as such our understanding of the importance of the early years of life have, thankfully, received much greater attention and scrutiny. We are witnessing a tsunami of research, in conjunction with well-informed individuals, looking to ensure that all children receive the attention they need in their earliest days of life. 'Nurturing a Healthy Mind', with its easy-to-understand format, gives parents and early caregivers a great opportunity to tap into this research and provide the best environment possible for healthy child development.

The book explores the social structure of the Konkama Lapp community, including the kinship system, marriage practices, and the role of gender in social relations. Pehrson's research is based on fieldwork conducted in the Konkama Lapp district, where he lived for several years. He used a combination of ethnographic and sociological methods to gather data, including participant observation, interviews, and surveys. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which focuses on a different aspect of social relations in the Konkama Lapp district. The first chapter provides an overview of the Konkama Lapp community and its history. The second chapter explores the kinship system in the community, including the different types of kinship relationships and the role of kinship in social organization. The third chapter focuses on marriage practices in the Konkama Lapp district, including the different types of marriages and the role of marriage in social relations. The fourth chapter explores the role of gender in social relations, including the division of labor and the status of women in the community.
