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: The Mekong River has undergone vast infrastructural changes in recent years, including the construction of dams across its main stream. These projects, along with the introduction of new fish species, changing political fortunes, and international migrant labor, have all made a profound impact upon the lives of those residing on the great river. It also impacts how they dream. In Mekong Dreaming, Andrew Alan Johnson explores the changing relationship between the river and the residents of Ban Beuk, a village on the Thailand-Laos border, by focusing on the effect that construction has had on human and inhuman elements of the villagers' world. Johnson shows how inhabitants come to terms with the profound impact that remote, intangible, and yet powerful forces—from global markets and remote bureaucrats to ghosts, spirits, and gods—have on their livelihoods. Through dreams, migration, new religious practices, and new ways of dwelling on a changed river, inhabitants struggle to understand and affect the distant, the inassimilable, and the occult, which offer both sources of power and potential disaster.

Описание: Little is now known to the general public of the history of the attempt to remove President Andrew Johnson in 1868, on his impeachment by the House of Representatives and trial by the Senate for alleged high crimes and misdemeanours in office, or of the causes that led to it. Yet it was one of the most important and critical events, involving possibly the gravest consequences, in the entire history of the country.

This Boxset Includes 2 Amazing Meal Prep Cookbooks:
Meal Prep: The Complete Meal Prep Cookbook for Weight Loss and Clean Eating
Meal Prep: 101 Amazing Meal Prep Recipes for Weight Loss and Clean Eating
In this fast paced society of ours, we are always on the run. And as a result we can't always make the healthiest of choices. In the midst of our rush we often find ourselves trapped between the option of fast and unhealthy food or in running late for work, school, and life's other engagements. Many wish they could find some other way, but they have quite a hard time trying to find it.
But I'm here to tell you that there is another way through this stressful and unprepared wilderness and it is called "Meal Prep". This ingenious strategy allows you to take the little bit of time that you have and make the most of it to prepare quality meals for the whole busy week ahead of you. All you need, for example, is just a little bit of free time once a week, maybe as little as 30 minutes, in order to make preparations of your meals in advance.
These strategically focused preps take care of the hard work such as chopping vegetables and cooking meat in advance so that when it comes time to eat the only work that is left for you is the most basic of tasks, such as heating up the prepped meal in the microwave for 30 seconds. That's right, by taking 30 minutes out of your schedule sometime during the end of the week, you can successfully prep and pack fully made meals that can be finalized in less than a minute when it is finally time for you to eat.
The only thing you need is some good Tupperware containers and perhaps a few plastic bags and you can have a fully made home cooked meal stocked up for when you need it. These wholesome meals will be much healthier for you than their quicker and more processed counterparts. They will also end up saving you a lot of money.
Even if health wasn't an issue, just think of all the money you waste each and every time you go through the drive thru to get burgers and fries, when you could have clean and delicious food made from scratch right out of your home. In making homemade meals you are using a set amount of recipes that you can buy in bulk and use for the long haul.
By the end of the month you will have saved a ton of money in the process. This book clearly explains that process to you, and further elaborates how you can make the most of the benefits that meal prepping can offer.
In this book you will find:
Detailed Meal Prep Strategies
Meal Preps for Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner
Specially Made Meal Preps for Vegetarians and Vegans
Meal Preps for Homemade Desserts
And a whole lot more
