Описание: A landscape of great natural beauty, Utah’s red rock country is a place where the passage from deep time to the present is revealed in stunningly sculpted and colorful geological strata that span 350 million years of Earth’s history. At the heart of this dramatic landscape is the Greater San Rafael Swell—a land of both geologic and human tumult.
Natural and human history come together in The Greater San Rafael Swell, which spans much of Emery County in Utah. Authors Stephen Strom and Jonathan Bailey paint a multi-faceted picture of a singular place through photographs, along with descriptions of geology, paleontology, archaeology, history, and dozens of interviews with individuals who devoted more than two decades to develop a shared vision of the future of both the Swell and the County. At its core, the book relates the important story of how a coalition of ranchers, miners, off-road enthusiasts, conservationists, recreationists, and Native American tribal nations worked together for nearly 25 years to forge and pass the Emery County Public Lands Management Act in 2019.
This book chronicles hopeful stories for our times: how citizens of Emery and three other counties in the rural West worked to resolve perhaps the most volatile issue in the region – the future of public lands. Both their successes and the processes by which they found common ground serve as beacons in today’s uncertain landscape – beacons that can illuminate paths toward rebuilding our shared democracy from the ground up.

Описание: This is the story of two ordinary people, Harold and Sarah, who lived ordinary lives, each born more than a century ago. Perhaps there are millions of people who have similar stories and fascinating lives. But the lives of Harold and Sarah were preserved not in the memories of others but in the pages of seven scrapbooks, thousands of photographs, letters, postcards, illustrations, and bits of memorabilia from which their lives together may be reconstructed. Harold’s and Sarah’s lives were unusually fascinating because of time and place: the Roaring Twenties, the Great Depression, World War II, and the emerging supremacy of what came to be known as the American Dream. The story began and thrived in the rough and tumble world of the East Texas oil patch, and this makes it even more compelling.Preserving Lives is a love story of remarkable simplicity that appeared to be almost perfectly planned and executed. Harold and Sarah became part of the many who worked hard and believed in their dreams, and when, in the mid-1950s, it all came together for them with a good job, their first home, a new car every so often, and an upstairs and downstairs telephone, it was just the natural progression of things. It was also the perfect end of a two-plus decade journey together which they hoped they might continue to enjoy as the years passed. This is the way it was supposed to happen, once upon a time, and it is what Harold and Sarah managed to do.

Описание: In Preserving the White Man’s Republic, Joshua Lynn reveals how the national Democratic Party rebranded majoritarian democracy and liberal individualism as conservative means for white men in the South and North to preserve their mastery on the eve of the Civil War.Responding to fears of African American and female political agency, Democrats in the late 1840s and 1850s reinvented themselves as "conservatives" and repurposed Jacksonian Democracy as a tool for local majorities of white men to police racial and gender boundaries by democratically withholding rights. With the policy of "popular sovereignty," Democrats left slavery’s expansion to white men’s democratic decision-making. They also promised white men local democracy and individual autonomy regarding temperance, religion, and nativism. Translating white men’s household mastery into political power over all women and Americans of color, Democrats united white men nationwide and made democracy a conservative assertion of white manhood.Democrats thereby turned traditional Jacksonian principles—grassroots democracy, liberal individualism, and anti-statism—into staples of conservatism. As Lynn’s book shows, this movement sent conservatism on a new, populist trajectory, one in which democracy can be called upon to legitimize inequality and hierarchy, a uniquely American conservatism that endures in our republic today.

Lindgren Название: Preserving Maritime America: A Cultural History of the Nation`s Great Maritime Museums ISBN: 1625344627 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781625344625 Издательство: Mare Nostrum (Eurospan) Рейтинг: Цена: 73920.00 T Наличие на складе: Нет в наличии. Описание: The United States has long been dependent on the seas, but Americans know little about their maritime history. While Britain and other countries have established national museums to nurture their seagoing traditions, America has left that responsibility to private institutions. In this first-of-its-kind history, James M. Lindgren focuses on a half-dozen of these great museums, ranging from Salem's East India Marine Society, founded in 1799, to San Francisco's Maritime Museum and New York's South Street Seaport Museum, which were established in recent decades.
Begun by activists with unique agendas -- whether overseas empire, economic redevelopment, or cultural preservation -- these museums have displayed the nation's complex interrelationship with the sea. Yet they all faced chronic shortfalls, as policymakers, corporations, and everyday citizens failed to appreciate the oceans' formative environment. Preserving Maritime America shows how these institutions shifted course to remain solvent and relevant and demonstrates how their stories tell of the nation's rise and decline as a commercial maritime power.

Trenckmann, 1859-1935 ISBN: 1623497132 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781623497132 Издательство: Mare Nostrum (Eurospan) Рейтинг: Цена: 35110.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: Born in Millheim, Texas, to a family of German immigrants who moved to Texas in the wake of the 1848 revolution, William Andreas Trenckmann was a teacher, journalist, and publisher who successfully combined his German heritage with a new, distinctly Texan identity. His education was cultivated at the brand new Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas, where he distinguished himself as the valedictorian of the first graduating class; he later served on the college's board of directors and was even offered the presidency. From 1907 to 1909, he represented Austin County in the Texas legislature. Trenckmann's lasting contribution to Texas history, however, was the creation of Das Wochenblatt, a German-language weekly newspaper that he edited and published for over forty years.Das Wochenblatt became a popular and respected source of information for German-speaking immigrants, their descendants, and the Texas communities where they lived and worked. Through the paper, Trenckmann advocated for civil liberties and free elections. He also vigorously opposed prohibition, the Ku Klux Klan, and later the rise of Adolf Hitler and National Socialism. When the United States entered World War I, many German-language publications were suspended or otherwise heavily censored, but Trenckmann's newspaper was granted a rare exemption from the wartime government.From 1931 to 1933, Trenckmann serialized his memoirs, Erlebtes und Beobachtetes, or “experiences and observations.” In Preserving German Texan Identity, historians Walter L. Buenger and Walter D. Kamphoefner present a revised and annotated translation of those memoirs as a revealing window into the lives of German Texans in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

American Revolution: Preserving the Constitution of English Liberty, 1607–1783 ISBN: 1119591864 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781119591863 Издательство: Wiley Рейтинг: Цена: 30570.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: The Colonists' American Revolution aims to make history interesting and relevant to students by making the classroom a venue for debate between competing narratives, rather than memorization of a given narrative. This text helps students recognize that the tradition narrative of the Revolution is an argument; in presenting a dissenting interpretation of America's founding, it invites them to evaluate both narratives on the strength of evidence. This book presents the Revolution as an event that reflected colonial culture and politics, rather than as the national event it became retrospectively in the late-eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. By providing a colonial scholar's view of the Revolution (a look to the Revolution from the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries), this dissenting companion to the US History textbook offers a students an alternate understanding of the Revolution's chronology, causes, ends, and accomplishments.

African American Warrant Officers: Preserving Their Legacy chronicles the achievements and successes of African American Warrant Officers in the United States Military. The book provides historical information and biographies of outstanding African American Warrant Officers and their contributions to our country.
Because Warrant Officers are known as the "Quiet Professionals," they are often overlooked in historical books. African American Warrant Officers, a subset of the Warrant Officers Cohort, are even more quiet. This book attempts to tell their stories and the significant impact that they have made to military history.
African American Warrant Officers: Preserving Their Legacy is the third book in a series that highlights their achievements and successes.
There is an ancient African proverb that says, "Until the lions have their own historians, then the hunt will always glorify the hunter."
This book honors African American Warrant Officers and pays tribute and preserves their legacy in the history of the United States Military.
