Описание: For better or worse-be it militarily, politically, economically, technologically, or culturally-Americans have had a profound role in shaping the wider world beyond them. The United States has been a savior to some, a curse to others, but either way such views are often based on a caricature of American actions and intentions. American Foreign Relations, then, is a subject of immense global importance that provokes strong emotions and much debate, but often based on deep misunderstanding. This Very Short Introduction analyzes the key episodes, themes, and individuals in the history of American foreign relations. While discussing diplomacy and the periods of war that have shaped national and international history, it also addresses such topics as industrialization, globalization, imperialism, and immigration. Covering the Revolution through the War on Terror, it examines the connections between domestic politics and foreign affairs, as well as the importance of ideals and values. Sharply written and highly engaging, American Foreign Relations offers a clear-eyed narrative of America's role in the world and how it has evolved over time.

Описание: Excerpt from What the Physician Should Be: An Address Delivered at the Commencement of the Medical School of Harvard University, March 9, 1870 But the delusion Which then prevailed so exten sively was the defect of the times, not of the men. There were in your profession - even among those most unsparing and heroic in the use of Opium, 'calomel, and lancet not a few men of the highest order of nobility, mental and moral, uniting learning and skill, tenderness and intrepidity, the amenities that adorn and the virtues that glorify humanity. Indeed, no profession in New England has been more, or more worthily, honored in its members than yours. Yet half a century ago success in it did not demand any higher qualities than success in homoeopathy its caricature does now. Medical practice then consisted mainly in the observation of symptoms, and the exhibition of the supposed specifics in quantities. Not too small. It required good perceptive powers, cool judgment, and a care ful hand, - not much more. It was for the most part a mechanical business, - of the higher sort, indeed, and differing from other similar vocations in its being expected to repair machines while in motion, yet still a handicraft that by no means de manded the superior-endowments of mind and char acter with which it was often associated; and if not in our larger towns, there were in our rural districts, and even in the suburbs of Boston, physicians of very high reputation and extensive practice who possessed none of the attributes of a scholar, a gen tleman, or a Christian.

Описание: A sharp, concise examination of America`s relationship with the world from the founding to the present.
In 1932 laundry-store tycoon George Preston Marshall became part owner of the Boston Braves franchise in the National Football League. To separate his franchise from the baseball team, he renamed it the Redskins in 1933 and then in 1937 moved his team to Washington DC, where the team won two NFL championships over the next decade. But it was off the field that Marshall made his lasting impact. An innovator, he achieved many “firsts” in professional football. His team was the first to telecast all its games, have its own fight song and a halftime show, and assemble its own marching band and cheerleading squad. He viewed football as an entertainment business and accordingly made changes to increase scoring and improve the fan experience.
But along with innovation, there was controversy. Marshall was a proud son of the South, and as the fifties came to a close, his team remained the only franchise in the three major league sports to not have a single black player. Marshall came under pressure from Congress and the NFL and its president, Pete Rozelle, as league expansion and new television contract possibilities forced the issue on the reluctant owner. Outside forces finally pushed Marshall to trade for Bobby Mitchell, the team’s first black player, in 1962. With the story of Marshall’s holdout as the backdrop, Fight for Old DC chronicles these pivotal years when the NFL began its ascent to the top of the nation’s sporting interest.
