Описание: Prior to the nineteenth century, the practice of medicine in the Western world was as much art as science. But, argues W. F. Bynum, `modern` medicine as practiced today is built upon foundations that were firmly established between 1800 and the beginning of World War I.

Democracy is, by its very nature, often rude. But there are limits to how uncivil we should be. In the 2010 edition of Rude Democracy, Susan Herbst explored the ways we discuss public policy, how we treat each other as we do, and how we can create a more civil national culture. She used the examples of Sarah Palin and Barack Obama to illustrate her case. She also examined how young people come to form their own attitudes about civility and political argument. In a new preface for this 2020 paperback edition, the author connects her book to our current highly contentious politics and what it means for the future of democratic argument.

Описание:
"This compelling narrative of the inner mind's spiritual reckoning with God on the mission fields and mountainsides of Haiti is beautifully and masterfully revealed through a naked candor and self reflection seldom seen in writing. There are no Oompa Loompas or Everlasting Gobstoppers, but, no doubt, Yolantha Harrison Pace could give even the wily Willy Wonka a run for his money as the reluctant hero and pied piper of hope in the chocolate factory of Haiti. If you have ever wondered what it is like to be born of the black American experience and then to go on the mission field, then this book is a MUST READ "-Neo Blaqness
"I believe that when you are in love, you tell everybody. So I'm telling everybody. See I love you Haiti, because you always love me back." This quote by an amazing author, Yolantha Harrison-Pace, is but one of many profound words of wisdom in her book, Haiti: The Aftershocks of Hope. Having, myself, worked many years in ministry, I thought this book was going to be a familiar quick read, informative, thoughtful, and spiritual. After three days of reading, sleeping with it, dreaming about it, and soul searching because of it, I found this book to be life changing. It is spiritually, culturally and emotionally provocative, consciously intrusive and radically transparent. Yolantha Harrison-Pace has you in stitches one moment, tears the next, and often finding yourself standing right beside her saying, "did you hear that?" or "did you see that?" or "who said that?" She is definitely guilty of writing a truthful book about how each of us, as African Americans, have to come face to face with our Americanisms and, moreover, question our beliefs to the point of evoking an authentic conversation with God to confirm whether we need to say "Yes" again to our own Calling. In Haiti: The Aftershocks of Hope, the subtitle being One American's Rude Awakening, Yolantha Harrison-Pace is true to form, skillfully exposing the many gods we pay homage to in our Americanism: the god of criticism and alienation; self-medication, ....the god of negligence and oversight. While reading this book, which I believe is destined to be a classic, new definitions emerged for the words missionary, hope, even food and love. Truly Yolantha's mission and commission was to ignite hope in the starving, abandoned and disenfranchised mountain children of Haiti. The reward she received for her obedience is summed up in this quote: "Everything I learned about the real ME, I learned on the mission field." I recommend this book as a MUST READ for current missionaries and those curious or contemplating work in the mission field, and, for sure, anyone looking for a clarity of purpose. Yolantha makes it perfectly clear in Haiti: The AfterShocks of Hope, that we all have a Calling. The Call is the invitation to work the doing power of God. God is love and love is doing. "This is the Call, the Call to doing Love", says Yolantha. A masterpiece from the first page, this book will return your spirit to the days when there was no Caller ID, when you answered the Call simply because the phone rang, and by not filtering the doing of God, discovering your real self." -Dr. Verlean Hailey
Описание: The Civil War haunted Americans long before it happened.

The war changed America`s future and transformed how Americans have thought about the future ever since.

Full of colorful details and engrossing stories, Pursuing Respect in the Cannibal Isles shows that the aspirations of individual Americans to be recognized as people worthy of others' respect was a driving force in the global extension of United States influence shortly after the nation's founding.
Nancy Shoemaker contends that what she calls extraterritorial Americans constituted the vanguard of a vast, early US global expansion. Using as her site of historical investigation nineteenth-century Fiji, the "cannibal isles" of American popular culture, she uncovers stories of Americans looking for opportunities to rise in social status and enhance their sense of self. Prior to British colonization in 1874, extraterritorial Americans had, she argues, as much impact on Fiji as did the British. While the American economy invested in the extraction of sandalwood and sea slugs as resources to sell in China, individuals who went to Fiji had more complicated, personal objectives.
Pursuing Respect in the Cannibal Isles considers these motivations through the lives of the three Americans who left the deepest imprint on Fiji: a runaway whaleman who settled in the islands, a sea captain's wife, and a merchant. Shoemaker's book shows how ordinary Americans living or working overseas found unusual venues where they could show themselves worthy of others' respect—others' approval, admiration, or deference.
Описание: There was a time when young people were the most passionate participants in American democracy. In the second half of the nineteenth century--as voter turnout reached unprecedented peaks--young people led the way, hollering, fighting, and flirting at massive midnight rallies. Parents trained their children to be "violent little partisans," while politicians lobbied twenty-one-year-olds for their "virgin votes"—the first ballot cast upon reaching adulthood. In schoolhouses, saloons, and squares, young men and women proved that democracy is social and politics is personal, earning their adulthood by participating in public life.
Drawing on hundreds of diaries and letters of diverse young Americans--from barmaids to belles, sharecroppers to cowboys--this book explores how exuberant young people and scheming party bosses relied on each other from the 1840s to the turn of the twentieth century. It also explains why this era ended so dramatically and asks if aspects of that strange period might be useful today.
In a vivid evocation of this formative but forgotten world, Jon Grinspan recalls a time when struggling young citizens found identity and maturity in democracy.
Описание: Americans in Dissent is designed as a collection of biographical essays written for general readers and undergraduates that focuses on the topic of American dissent during the period from 1830 to 1890.
If you want to discover the captivating history of the Underground Railroad and Harriet Tubman, then keep reading...
Two captivating manuscripts in one book:
The Underground Railroad: A Captivating Guide to the Network of Routes, Places, and People in the United States That Helped Free African Americans during the Nineteenth Century
Harriet Tubman: A Captivating Guide to an American Abolitionist Who Became the Most Famous Conductor of the Underground Railroad
The Underground Railroad wasn't underground. Nor was it a railroad. It was, however, an awe-inspiring piece of history, and one that speaks of hope even today.
Two hundred years ago, slavery had the Southern United States firmly in its evil grip. Around four million African Americans languished in the most appalling of living conditions, their lives controlled by people who saw them as objects. They were starved, whipped, and put to work despite being pregnant, sick, or so young that they could barely walk. They were despised, downtrodden, and degraded in every way. They longed for freedom, yet to reach the free land of Canada, they would have to cross thousands of miles filled with the threat of slave catchers, men who had made it their business to snatch desperate people who were on the very brink of liberty.
It was a hopeless time, but it was also a time of heroes. The only hope that these enslaved people had of escaping their brutal fates was the Underground Railroad. This fabled network of people and places delivered tens of thousands of escaped slaves all the way across the northern United States and into Canada. And while many of the people who made these escapes possible have melted away into history as faceless heroes, we know the names and stories of many. Their stories are some of the most inspiring that we will ever hear.
