"Kagan's book is a contribution of considerable distinction, scrupulously fair, carefully argued, and lucidly written. And, what is more, it is persuasive.... Kagan sets out the story in detail and with acumen. The case has been adumbrated before?but never presented with such thoroughness." ? Journal of Interdisciplinary History
The first volume of Donald Kagan's acclaimed four-volume history of the Peloponnesian War offers a new evaluation of the origins and causes of the conflict, based on evidence produced by modern scholarship and on a careful reconsideration of the ancient texts. He focuses his study on the question: Was the war inevitable, or could it have been avoided?
Kagan takes issue with Thucydides' view that the war was inevitable, that the rise of the Athenian Empire in a world with an existing rival power made a clash between the two a certainty. Asserting instead that the origin of the war "cannot, without serious distortion, be treated in isolation from the internal history of the states involved," Kagan traces the connections between domestic politics, constitutional organization, and foreign affairs. He further examines the evidence to see what decisions were made that led to war, at each point asking whether a different decision would have been possible.

Описание: An argument that the meaning of a psychological or biological measure depends on the age, gender class, and ethnicity of the human subject.
In Kinds Come First, the distinguished psychologist Jerome Kagan argues that--contrary to the common assumption--age, gender, social class, and ethnicity affect the outcomes of psychological measures, and he questions the popular practice that uses statistical procedures to remove the effects of these categories to confirm a favored predictor-outcome relation. The idea that psychological measures have meanings that transcend the kinds of subjects, Kagan writes, reflects a premature hope of discovering broadly generalizable conclusions. In Kinds Come First, Kagan hopes to persuade investigators otherwise.
Kagan examines the unique properties of the four categories, making the case that life stage, gender, class, and ethnicity affect psychological measures in complex, nontrivial ways. He discusses the relevance of a person's developmental stage to many outcomes, focusing on the interval from five to twelve months, when working memory and the ability to relate the past to the present expands. He cites evidence suggesting that a person's gender, class of rearing, and ethnicity, within a particular society, are better predictors of health, arrest record, cognitive skills, and current life satisfaction than either their genomes or answers to a personality questionnaire.
Finally, Kagan argues, the biological properties that are more common in one gender, class, or ethnic group, are not a defensible basis for restricting access to an educational program, vocation, or position of authority. A society can ignore such differences in order to honor an ethical imperative for equality without incurring serious costs.

Inspired by a lifelong fascination with space exploration, Michael Kagan paints iconic scenes of astronauts and NASA rockets
Growing up in Virginia Beach near the first NASA field center, Michael Kagan (born 1980) learned early in life to look toward the sky for inspiration. Now based in Brooklyn, the artist uses historical NASA photography as source material for his paintings of rockets blasting off into the atmosphere and astronauts touching down on lunar landscapes. Heavily textured with layers of oil paint, Kagan's work brings a sense of tactile closeness to the otherworldly subject matter without sacrificing its awe-inspiring mystery. This clothbound accompaniment to Kagan's exhibition at Virginia Museum of Contemporary Art presents a selection of the artist's paintings from the past decade, dedicated to space imagery and F1 racers. It features a foreword by collaborator and fellow Virginia Beach native Pharrell Williams, an essay by Matthew Israel and an interview by Bill Powers.

The Spanish Craze is the compelling story of the centuries-long U.S. fascination with the history, literature, art, culture, and architecture of Spain. Richard L. Kagan offers a stunningly revisionist understanding of the origins of hispanidad in America, tracing its origins from the early republic to the New Deal.
As Spanish power and influence waned in the Atlantic World by the eighteenth century, her rivals created the “Black Legend,” which promoted an image of Spain as a dead and lost civilization rife with innate cruelty and cultural and religious backwardness. The Black Legend and its ambivalences influenced Americans throughout the nineteenth century, reaching a high pitch in the Spanish-American War of 1898. However, the Black Legend retreated soon thereafter, and Spanish culture and heritage became attractive to Americans for its perceived authenticity and antimodernism.
Although the Spanish craze infected regions where the Spanish New World presence was most felt—California, the American Southwest, Texas, and Florida—there were also early, quite serious flare-ups of the craze in Chicago, New York, and New England. Kagan revisits early interest in Hispanism among elites such as the Boston book dealer Obadiah Rich, a specialist in the early history of the Americas, and the writers Washington Irving and Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. He also considers later enthusiasts such as Angeleno Charles Lummis and the many writers, artists, and architects of the modern Spanish Colonial Revival in the United States in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
Spain’s political and cultural elites understood that the promotion of Spanish culture in the United States and the Western Hemisphere in general would help overcome imperial defeats while uniting Spaniards and those of Spanish descent into a singular raza whose shared characteristics and interests transcended national boundaries.
With elegant prose and verve, The Spanish Craze spans centuries and provides a captivating glimpse into distinct facets of Hispanism in monuments, buildings, and private homes; the visual, performing, and cinematic arts; and the literature, travel journals, and letters of its enthusiasts in the United States.

"Nikki L. Kagan is a unique, experienced, and passionate facilitator who breathes and lives people's inner Development both as leaders and as human beings. Her ability to build strong, trusting and lasting relationships with colleagues, customers and people in general, combined with the relationships she has forged with her horses, has led to a powerfully effective methodology. She brings people and horses together with a very gentle, sensitive and guiding approach, helping leaders step outside their comfort zone to learn about themselves through the horses' authentic eyes, and because horses never put on airs or masks, the self-reflection leaders engage in is one of the strongest I've ever experienced. Nikki compassionately takes leaders hand in hand with this magical encounter, to a newly expanded comfort zone where they can be introspective--analyzing their actions and learning about themselves. This special meeting with Nikki and the horses is one in which everyone should participate at some point in their lives--for an unforgettable experience and for the long-lasting impact it will create." Hagith Malul, Chief of Staff eBay Israel "I have known Nikki for many years now, first as a client and later, also as a friend. In our relationship as consultant and client, she has always been a true partner by taking an active role in identifying needs, designing an appropriate solution and delivering it in the most professional manner. Nikki is very open-minded and eager to learn more to further enhance her client offering even with her many years of experience coaching and facilitating team and leadership development processes. Her approach is always fresh and unique because she believes that to fully optimize any development processes, every groups' specific needs must be reflected. Participants in her sessions find it easy to engage and introspect in a way that results in meaningful and actionable outcomes, as evidenced by the consistently positive feedback she receives. On a personal note, Nikki has been my closest mentor, supporting my own development and growth as an HR professional. She is the one to whom I can turn with any dilemma or challenge I encounter and as such, I truly cherish my relationship with her." Shirley Azouri, HRBP, Fortune 500 Company "I have known Nikki as a consultant for several years now, and have had the privilege of experiencing her facilitation skills firsthand, and of participating in one of her HorseSense leadership development sessions together with my team. I must say, it was experiential learning unlike any other Time and again throughout the day, her horses helped us to understand how we show up as leaders and how we influence others. Through Nikki's facilitation and guidance, we experienced how our physical presence, speech, level of authenticity and congruence impacts our interactions with the horses as well as our ability to achieve lasting results. Naturally, this impact extends beyond the horses to include those with whom we work. Reflecting on the exercises enabled us to identify metaphors for what we see in the day to day-- such as leading through uncertainty. Through those metaphors, we gained clarity around how certain triggers impact our effectiveness as leaders, underscoring the importance of leadership presence in creating meaningful connections. I must say, I began the day with mixed emotions of both excitement and intimidation. Within a very short time the intimidation vanished, and in its place, I experienced a strong sense of bonding with these noble and wonderful creatures. In Instinctive Leadership, Nikki has captured the essence of how a horse's basic instincts and ways of being in the world present us with a myriad of opportunities to learn about leadership, presence, and humility."
