A Pulitzer Prize-winning historian recounts the tale of the unwanted president who ran afoul of Congress over Reconstruction and was nearly removed from office
Andrew Johnson never expected to be president. But just six weeks after becoming Abraham Lincoln's vice president, the events at Ford's Theatre thrust him into the nation's highest office.
Johnson faced a nearly impossible task--to succeed America's greatest chief executive, to bind the nation's wounds after the Civil War, and to work with a Congress controlled by the so-called Radical Republicans. Annette Gordon-Reed, one of America's leading historians of slavery, shows how ill-suited Johnson was for this daunting task. His vision of reconciliation abandoned the millions of former slaves (for whom he felt undisguised contempt) and antagonized congressional leaders, who tried to limit his powers and eventually impeached him.
The climax of Johnson's presidency was his trial in the Senate and his acquittal by a single vote, which Gordon-Reed recounts with drama and palpable tension. Despite his victory, Johnson's term in office was a crucial missed opportunity; he failed the country at a pivotal moment, leaving America with problems that we are still trying to solve.

Описание: To give a book a worthy binding is one of the most satisfying of crafts. Beyond the utility of a good binding, there is a great deal of aesthetic pleasure to be gained from a book that opens easily and flatly, and from the decoration, the harmony of colors, and the brilliance of gold. Arthur Johnson, one of Britain's foremost designer-bookbinders, has written a manual of the craft whose clarity and comprehensiveness make it invaluable to the student and the professional.
It covers equipment, tools, and materials; all stages of preparation (end papers, sewing, rounding and backing, edge-gilding, etc.); different binding styles; and the finer points of finishing. The illustrations show not only tools, materials, and processes, but also a selection of striking and beautiful examples of the binder's art, both historic and modern.

Fishing and the freedom of the sea was all young Frank Johnson, Jr. had in mind one Christmas season when he distinctly heard a voice speak to him, seemingly out of nowhere. "Go to Oshawa Missionary College and take teacher training." He looked around but saw no one. He was stunned "Get hold of yourself. This is holiday time. Not crack-up time." And then the voice came again....
"Jesus Is There All the Time" is a story packed with real-life miracles and coast-to-coast adventure. Rarely does an author pull back the curtain on his own life experience with such a humble conviction of God's constant presence.
In this truly Canadian story, you will visit tiny islands off the British Columbia coast, isolated maritime churches and the prairies of Alberta. Salmon Arm, Langley, Port Hardy, Takush, Peace River, Corner Brook and Halifax are just a few of the places God led Pastor Johnson to during his life of ministry.
