Описание: `LISTEN. The greatest feeling I ever had in my life - with my clothes on - was when I first heard Diz and Bird back in 1944. I`ve come close to matching the feeling of that night, but I`ve never quite got there. I`m always looking for it, trying to always feel it in and through the music I play . . .`
Описание: America`s rise from revolutionary colonies to a world power is often treated as inevitable. But Charles N. Edel`s provocative biography of John Q. Adams argues that he served as the central architect of a grand strategy whose ideas and policies made him a critical link between the founding generation and the Civil War-era nation of Lincoln.

Описание:
A vivid portrait of a man whose pre- and post-presidential careers overshadowed his presidency.
Chosen president by the House of Representatives after an inconclusive election against Andrew Jackson, John Quincy Adams often failed to mesh with the ethos of his era, pushing unsuccessfully for a strong, consolidated national government. Historian Robert V. Remini recounts how in the years before his presidency Adams was a shrewd, influential diplomat, and later, as a dynamic secretary of state under President James Monroe, he solidified many basic aspects of American foreign policy, including the Monroe Doctrine. Undoubtedly his greatest triumph was the negotiation of the Transcontinental Treaty, through which Spain acknowledged Florida to be part of the United States. After his term in office, he earned the nickname Old Man Eloquent for his passionate antislavery speeches.
