Описание: "Penetrating, detailed, and very readable. . . . A splendid biography." --Wall Street Journal Few figures in American history have held as many roles in public life as John Quincy Adams. The son of John Adams, he was a brilliant ambassador and secretary of state, a frustrated president, and a dedicated congressman who staunchly opposed slavery. In John Quincy Adams, scholar and journalist James Traub draws on Adams's diaries, letters, and writings to evoke his numerous achievements-and failures-in office. A man of unwavering moral convictions, Adams is the father of foreign policy "realism" and one of the first proponents of the "activist government." But John Quincy Adams is first and foremost the story of a brilliant, flinty, and unyielding man whose life exemplified admirable political courage.

Описание: Describing the United States relations with other nations as "America First" would have made no sense to presidents between George Washington and Theodore Roosevelt. They, committed to pursuing what Washington called "our interest guided by justice" and acting as the American peoples fiduciary representatives, would not have considered any other priority. But the Progressive movement that won over American elites a hundred years ago premised precisely that U.S policy must concern itself primarily with mankind as a whole, with America only derivatively, and with values that transcend the American people. Hence, Progressives use the term "America First" to accuse other Americans of neglect of duty, stupidity, etc. But "America First," namely pursuing what benefits our American character and advances our legitimate interests, and regarding all foreign relations from that perspective--in short, fully minding our business while leaving other peoples to mind theirs--was the basis of the United States successful foreign policy circa 1815-1910. Best described by John Quincy Adams and carried out by his successors, this is the foreign policy by which America grew great in peace. It remains the American peoples common sense. This study contrasts this original "America First" foreign policy with the basis and results of the subsequent centurys Progressive policy. It shows the transformation of a culture of peace and victory into that of statesmen who eliminate the very concepts of victory and peace from the militarys official vocabulary as they manage endless wars. Then, the book examines how J.Q. Adamss insights are applicable to the current domestic and international environment--what "America First" can mean in our time.

A cheeky illustrated cultural atlas celebrates the strength and spirit of New York and shows how there's no need to make a comeback when you're already the greatest city on Earth.
Think New Yorkers are speeding out to Connecticut in droves? Think a tough 2020 broke the city? Think again. New York is more than a city--it is a concrete and red-brick canvas for denizens of artists, an endless fountain of inspiration and community for entrepreneurs and activists, and a boisterous melting pot that celebrates diversity of all kinds. And being a New Yorker is not just a geographic indicator, it's an indicator of character, a way of life.
From the storied punk dives of the Lower East Side to the street-cart studded blocks of the Heights, New York City offers grit, resilience, culture, and inclusivity in spades--and its citizens know this. This spectacular book looks beyond the tourist traps of New York to celebrate the essence of the city's five boroughs. Through interviews, essays, and original art, readers will encounter the real New York--a city that is on a first name basis with bodega owners, spends afternoons on the stoop, and has equally impassioned opinions on halal carts, subway lines, and the perfect breakfast sandwich. Featured inside is everything from Q&As with legendary bodega owners to the best quotes of Governor Andrew Cuomo, designer of New York Tough and a national treasure during the fight to contain Covid-19, to photographs, quizzes, games, recipes, and much more, as well as a tribute to the beloved spaces lost during tough times.
This is a perfect read for anyone who dreams of bumping into Spike Lee on the streets of Fort Greene or misses late nights at the Comedy Cellar, a colorful keepsake tribute to the city that never sleeps and to those who know that--despite tragedy, turmoil, and great change--it will always be New York or nowhere.

When President Carlos Arroyo del Rio was in exile, Beatrice lived with Dona Elena de Arroyo del Rio, the First Lady of Ecuador, thereby gaining an insight into the latter years of a President being out of office.
In this book, Beatrice takes you on a journey to the countries where John Quincy Adams served as Ambassador, then on to his negotiating treaties and entering a political life and his entrance into the turmoil of Washington politics.
