Clear and Frost chart the rise of penal severity in the U.S. and the forces necessary to end it
Over the last 40 years, the US penal system has grown at an unprecedented rate--five times larger than in the past and grossly out of scale with the rest of the world. In The Punishment Imperative, eminent criminologists Todd R. Clear and Natasha A. Frost argue that America's move to mass incarceration from the 1960s to the early 2000s was more than just a response to crime or a collection of policies adopted in isolation; it was a grand social experiment. Tracing a wide array of trends related to the criminal justice system, this book charts the rise of penal severity in America and speculates that a variety of forces--fiscal, political, and evidentiary--have finally come together to bring this great social experiment to an end. The authors stress that while the doubling of the crime rate in the late 1960s represented one of the most pressing social problems at the time, it was instead the way crime posed a political problem--and thereby offered a political opportunity--that became the basis for the great rise in punishment. Clear and Frost contend that the public's growing realization that the severe policies themselves, not growing crime rates, were the main cause of increased incarceration eventually led to a surge of interest in taking a more rehabilitative, pragmatic, and cooperative approach to dealing with criminal offenders that still continues to this day. Part historical study, part forward-looking policy analysis, The Punishment Imperative is a compelling study of a generation of crime and punishment in America.

Описание: Author of more than twenty books of poems, among them For My Brother, Of China and Of Greece, Good News, McKeever Bridge, The Buffalo Shoot, A Day in the World, and Village Journal, Greg Kuzma has penned Robert Frost: Six Essays in Appreciation, the culmination of a life-long, affectionate study of the Modern American poet, Robert Frost. Kuzma, who recently retired from the English and creative writing faculty at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, provides 21st Century readers both a reintroduction to and a sensitive and enduring commentary of Frost’s poetic craft and music. Kuzma offers new points of observation toward reading Frost, and his critical expertise teaches us well—as he taught Frost to his students over the years—why the poet still persists, why his poetry remains necessary. Robert Frost: Six Essays in Appreciation is a significant contribution to an ongoing dialogue on Frost and on American poetics.

In 1918 the United States Government decided to involve itself in the Russian Revolution by sending troops to Siberia. This book recreates that unhappily memorable story-the arrival of British marines at Murmansk, the diplomatic maneuvering, the growing Russian hostility, the uprising of the Czechoslovak troops in central Siberia which threatened to overturn the Bolsheviks, the acquisitive ambitions of the Japanese in Manchuria, and finally the decision by President Wilson to intervene with American troops. The Decision to Intervene is the second of three volumes in Mr. Kennan's distinguished chronicle of Soviet-American relations. Mr. Kennan's method is to view a small but crucial segment of history in all its developing intricacy and detail. With rare literary skill he shows distinct individuals acting in an unfolding drama which they understand only partially and on which their influence is limited. Only by such a method can one learn how events seemed to those who took part in them, and how such momentous decisions (as Wilson's decision to intervene in Russia surely was), are actually made.

Описание: `The Jacobean dramatists make better sense if seen as working in Shakespeare`s light`. This premise underlies Dr Frost`s study of the influence of Shakespeare upon his contemporaries. His general thesis is challenging, and is likely to affect the readers` views on the history of drama and of taste, as well as their estimate of the writers themselves.

Описание: Every poem, Robert Frost declared, "is an epitome of the great predicament, a figure of the will braving alien entanglements." This study considers what Frost meant by those entanglements, how he braved them in his poetry, and how he invited his readers to do the same. In the process it contributes significantly to a new critical awareness of Frost as a complex artist who anticipated postmodernism.
