In this lively and insightful memoir Jeremiah Joyce recounts a wide-ranging career that in many way tracks the history of Chicago over the last half century. During the late sixties and early seventies his jobs took him from tense urban classrooms to street encounters as a member of the Chicago Police Department's Gang Intelligence Unit. While many neighborhoods in American cities turned from white to Black almost overnight Joyce as alderman for the 19th Ward on the Southwest Side fought to ensure the long-term viability and successful harmony of an integrated neighborhood-one that still stands strong and united today. He spent more than a decade as a Democratic state senator in Springfield and participated in some of the turbulent local elections of the eighties. Because of his experience in Chicago politics presidential campaigns drew on his expertise. Barack Obama consulted with him before running (unsuccessfully) for Congress and again while weighing whether to run for president. An underlying theme throughout Joyce's story is the effort to preserve and improve the vitality of Chicago during a time of racial tumult and white exodus to the suburbs. Overall his memoir provides an acute detailed account of the intersection of power politics religion and race as it influenced the course of the city.

The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own: digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries, undergraduate students, and independent scholars.The Age of Enlightenment profoundly enriched religious and philosophical understanding and continues to influence present-day thinking. Works collected here include masterpieces by David Hume, Immanuel Kant, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau, as well as religious sermons and moral debates on the issues of the day, such as the slave trade. The Age of Reason saw conflict between Protestantism and Catholicism transformed into one between faith and logic -- a debate that continues in the twenty-first century.++++The below data was compiled from various identification fields in the bibliographic record of this title.
