Softcover. Condition: Good. Revised. Simple Justice is generally regarded as the classic account of the U.S. Supreme Court's epochal decision outlawing racial segregation and the centerpiece of African-Americans' ongoing crusade for equal justice under law.The 1954 Supreme Court ruling in the case of Brown v. Board of Education brought centuries of legal segregation in this country to an end. It was and remains, beyond question, one of the truly significant events in American history, "probably the most important American government act of any kind since the Emancipation Proclamation," in the view of constitutional scholar Louis H. Pollak. The Brown decision climaxed along, torturous battle for black equality in education, making hard law out of vague principles and opening the way for the broad civil rights upheavals of the 1960s and beyond.Simple Justice is the story of that battle. Richard Kluger traces the background of the epochal decision,from its remote legal and cultural roots to the complex personalities of those who brought about its realization. The result is a landmark work of popular history, graceful and fascinatingly detailed, the panoramic account of a struggle for human dignity in process since the birth of the nation.Here is the human drama, told in all its dimensions, of the many plaintiffs, men, women, and children,variously scared or defiant but always determined, who made the hard decision to proceed - bucking the white power structure in Topeka,Kansas; braving night riders in rural South Carolina; rallying fellow high school students in strictly segregated Prince Edward County,Virginia - and at a dozen other times and places showing their refusal to accept defeat.Here, too, is the extraordinary tale,told for the first time, of the black legal establishment, forced literally to invent itself before it could join the fight, then patiently assembling, in courtroom after courtroom, a body of law that would serve to free its people from thralldom to unjust laws. Heroes abound, some obscure, like Charles Houston (who built Howard Law School into a rigorous academy for black lawyers) and the Reverend J.A. DeLaine (the minister-teacher who, despite bitter opposition, organized and led the first crucial fight for educational equality in the Jim Crow South), others like Thurgood Marshall, justly famous - but all of whose passionate devotion proved intense enough to match their mission.Reading Simple Justice, we see how black Americans' groundswell urge for fair treatment collides with the intransigence of white supremacists in a grinding legal campaign that inevitably found its way to the halls and chambers of the Supreme Court for a final showdown. Kluger searches out and analyzes what went on there during the months of hearings and deliberations, often behind closed doors, laying bare the doubts,disagreements, and often deeply held convictions of the nine Justices. He shows above all how Chief Justice Earl Warren, new to the Court but old in the ways of politics, achieved the impossible - a unanimous decision to reverse the 58-year-old false doctrine of "separate but equal" education for blacks. Impeccably researched and elegantly written, this may be the most revealing report ever published of America's highest court at work.Based on extensive interviews and both published and unpublished documentary sources, Simple Justice has the lineaments of an epic. It will stand as the classic study of a turning point in our history.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Austin joins Dallas and Houston in Akashic's deep dive into the Lone Star State's darkest dimensionsFeaturing brand-new stories by: Gabino Iglesias, Ace Atkins, Amanda Moore, Jeff Abbott, Scott Montgomery, Richard Z. Santos, Alexandra Burt, Lee Thomas, Miriam Kuznets, Jacob Grovey, Chaitali Sen, Molly Odintz, Amy Gentry, and Andrew Hilbert.From the editors' introduction: "You've probably heard of Austin. You may have been here for South by Southwest. Your best friend may have recently relocated here from California. You might have thought about moving here yourself, then decided it wasn't worth it to live in Texas. You may have moved to Austin decades ago. You may even have been born and raised in Austin, and now you're on the outskirts of San Antonio or (god forbid) Waco because you can't afford to buy a house anywhere else. Or you may be living in a shiny new building downtown, watching the final stages of a sleepy town's transformation into modern metropolis. One thing you'll hear from almost any Austin resident: it was better when they got here . . ."As the city expands, construction never stops, struggling futilely to keep up with new demand. The running joke is that the city bird is the crane. Rents and property values keep climbing. We fear becoming Dallas . . . The writers contributing to this collection represent a kaleidoscopic view of the citynot just in where they set the stories, but in their different social, economic, and cultural perspectives." Austin joins Dallas and Houston in Akashic's deep dive into the Lone Star State's darkest dimensions.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. In (Dont) Stop Me If Youve Heard This Before, Peter Turchi combines personal narrative and close reading of a wide range of stories and novels to reveal how writers create the fiction that matters to us. Building on his much-loved Maps of the Imagination: The Writer as Cartographer, Turchi leads readers and writers to an understanding of how the intricate mechanics of storytellingincluding shifts in characters authority, the subtle manipulation of images, careful attention to point of view, the strategic release of information, and even digressing from the (apparent) storycan create powerful effects.Using examples from Dickens, Chekhov, and Salinger, and Twain to more contemporary writers including Toni Morrison, Alice Munro, E. L. Doctorow, Jenny Erpenbeck, Adam Johnson, Mohsin Hamid, Jai Chakrabarti, Yoko Ogawa, Richard Powers, Deborah Eisenberg, Olga Tokarczuk, Rachel Cusk, and Colson Whitehead, Turchi offers illuminating insights into the inner workings of fiction as well as practical advice for writers looking to explore their craft from a fresh angle beyond the fundamentals of character and setting, plot, and scene.While these essays draw from decades of teaching undergraduate and graduate students, they also speak to writers working on their own. In Out of the Workshop, into the Laboratory, Turchi discusses how anyone can make the most of discussions of stories or novels in progress, and in Reading Like a Writer he provides guidelines for learning from writing you admire. Perhaps best of all, these essays by a writer the Houston Chronicle has called one of the countrys foremost thinkers on the art of writing are as entertaining as they are edifying, always reminding us of the power and pleasure of storytelling. Peter Turchis third book on the craft of fiction goes beyond the basics to explore the intricate mechanics of storytelling.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Synopsis:Inward and Outward Health is the first interdisciplinary scholarly collection to provide an in-depth and new perspective on the medical and scientific activity of one of the eighteenth century's most successful and controversial theological figures, John Wesley. These essays, written by established scholars in the field, convincingly correct a persistent view of Wesley as an irresponsible religious enthusiast who confused medical science and theology. The reader is given here instead a picture of someone who was a crucial admirer of Enlightenment principles: a deeply pious individual who could minister to the physical and spiritual welfare of the poor, applying remedies for the body or prayer for the soul as and when appropriate.Endorsements:'This collection of six essays unfolds the remarkably modern holistic approach to human health--physical, psychological, and spiritual--seen in the thought and practice of John Wesley in the eighteenth century. Grounded in a study of the natural philosophy and medical remedies from over two centuries ago, the authors examine not only the historical context but also the continued relevance of many of these scientific and religious approaches in the present day. Trained in various fields of science and religion, these writers bring a lively sense of contemporaneity to a wide variety of areas such as prayer and healing, spiritual senses and ecological concerns, body and soul, life and death. This collection, under the expert eye of Deborah Madden, makes a major contribution to a growing field of historical inquiry that rightfully attracts contemporary attention.'Richard P. Heitzenrater, William Kellon Quick Professor of Church History and Wesley Studies, Duke University'This is a superb collection of interdisciplinary research papers which illuminates not only the figure of John Wesley, but also religion and medical science more generally in the eighteenth century. In the eighteenth century, as now, people did not live their lives in narrow academic disciplines, and we miss so much when we study John Wesley only as a religious figure, or study the history of science as though it proceeded without reference to religious conviction. This book will do much to put Wesley back into the full context of the eighteenth century in all its richness. It also shows the relevance of Wesley's holistic understanding of the human person for us all today. I used to get cheap laughs from audiences by quoting quaint remedies in Wesley's Primitive Physick, especially those that involved 'electrifying' the patient. No more! Now I will argue that John Wesley was the pioneer of the electrotherapy techniques used by my physiotherapist.'Bruce Hindmarsh, James M. Houston Professor of Spiritual Theology, Regent CollegeAuthor Biography:Deborah Madden is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the Theology Faculty at the University of Oxford. She has written several articles on religion, medicine, and culture in the eighteenth century, as well as a monograph examining John Wesley's medical activity.

Condition: Good. To Drink or Not To Drink by Charles H. Durfee This printing of the book is from 1942. The book has an original copyright date of 1937.The author wrote a tribute in the Preface of the book to the pioneeringmen that sparked the Emmanuel Movement:Elwood Worcester, Courtenay Baylor and Richard Peabody. Included with the book is a newspaper article clipping. The article was written by the author Charles Durfee and is titled ?Distress at Missing Cocktail Hour May Be Early Warning? and was published in the Houston Post on May 6, 1955. This book is in very good condition. There are some stains and minor wear to the cover. There is no writing or markings inside the book. The dust jacket has some edge wear. Please view all of the photos for the conditions. About this book: Can you take it? Dr. Durfee asks and answers that question in this book on the abuse of alcohol. He is a noted psychologist who has put his theories into practice and discovered that they work. He is not an advocate of wholesale teetotalism. He does not wave the white flag for temperance for the world. Those who drink in moderation do not concern him in this book. Here he treats of the man or woman whose drinking is not a matter of choice, but of inner necessity. These people he terms problem-drinkers.They need all the help that modern psychology, education, and medicine can give them.On his farm in Rhode Island and in their homes, he has been successful in his treatment of alcoholics whose drinking is a symptom of social and personal maladjustment. Bolts and bars, he maintains, do not provide a cure for the problem-drinker, for he has found that an individual's drinking is not a disease, but a protest against life-a social symptom. It is the whole man Dr.Durfee takes into account. By uncovering the bugbear which the drinker is trying to escape and giving him a new outlook on life, the alcoholic can be freed of his burdens, taught to face reality. This interpretation of the drinker's problems and the simple but profound systemDr. Durfee pursues will be of benefit to laymen, as well as to psychologists, social workers, and physicians in its new approach. Are you a problem-drinker? In this book are histories of cases, their causes and cures, which may give you insight into your own case. If you are not a problem-drinker, have you relatives or friends that are recluses or good fellows in their cups who are victims of an alcoholic dilemma? What you can do about it is answered in this book.

Original blue publisher's boards, 12mo; 1240 pages; Singerman lists the translation (#67) , quoting Norman Cohn: "[The] Bible of the whole voelkisch-racist movement" Singerman calls this book "Of the utmost importance for its influence on Adolf Hitler [and, by the way, Alfred Rosenberg]" Singerman continues (citing Cohn) : "Here all history was presented as a bitter struggle between spirituality, embodied in the German 'race, ' and materialism, embodied in the Jewish 'race'--the only two pure races for all the others were but 'chaos of peoples. ' In Chamberlain's view the Jewish 'race' had been relentlessly striving, down the ages, to secure absolute dominion over all other nations. If once [sic] this 'race' were decisively defeated, the Germanic 'race' would be free to realize its own divinely appointed destiny--which was to create a new, radiant world, transfused with a noble spirituality and mysteriously combining modern technology and science with the rural, hierarchical culture of earlier times. " The author was also the husband of Richard Wagner's daughter. A very important book.

From the publisher: "This deluxe album, a selection of the finest photographs from Richard Misrach's acclaimed Golden Gate series (previously published in a smaller trim size, now out of print), has been assembled for publication on the historic occasion of the seventy-fifth anniversary of the iconic bridge. In 1997 Misrach began a three-year project photographing the Golden Gate Bridge at all times of day and night, in every season, from a single vantage point on his front porch. Within this simple framework, in which the subject and its framing remain fixed in every photograph, an alchemy occurs. An astonishing range of atmosphere, light, and color unfolds, bringing fresh revelation and interpretation to a familiar view -- a unique and beautiful photographic meditation on place and time. This special album commemorates one of the most iconic and lasting symbols of American progress and ingenuity. Richard Misrach (born in Los Angeles, 1949) is credited with helping pioneer the renaissance of color photography and large-scale presentation in the 1970s. He has exhibited extensively, and his work is held in the permanent collections of prestigious institutions such as the Museum of Modern Art, Whitney Museum of American Art, and Metropolitan Museum of Art, in New York; National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C.; Museum of Fine Arts, Houston; and Art Institute of Chicago. He is a recipient of numerous awards, including the Guggenheim Fellowship and four fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts. In 2011, Misrach's series Destroy This Memory (Aperture, 2010) was installed in its entirety at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art along with simultaneous exhibitions of his work at the Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive and the Oakland Museum of California. Misrach is represented by Fraenkel Gallery, San Francisco; Pace/MacGill Gallery, New York; and Marc Selwyn Fine Art, Los Angeles. He lives in Berkeley, California." Signed by Author.

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Richard Houston (illustrator). Broadside [429 x 319 mm] designed by Joseph Champion, engraved by Edward Anthony Thorowgood with calligraphic lettering in an ornate foliate border, and with three mezzotint illustrations by Richard Houston. With an ink sketch of a head in profile on the verso. A few short marginal tears and creases and a little soiling and spotting. In generally very good unrestored condition, and with the bonus of a competent large sketch of a man in a hat on the back. The only other impressions of this extraordinary broadside we have been able to trace are in the Bodleian and the British Museum, the latter acquired from Christopher Lennox-Boyd in 2010. It is mentioned by Chaloner Smith in reference to Houston, p.702. The three mezzotints illustrate an onyx stone cut for insertion in a sword hilt, of which the colouration is said to give an image of the Ascension and the handing down of the Law of Moses. In the centre it is shown in double size, with front and back views joined together, and this is flanked by two views showing the stone actual size front and back. The descriptive text, in two columns, goes into detail, describing the images and declaring: "In the Stone, the Drawings and Keeping are true and distinct, the Sky, and all the Colour so Full, soft, and Warm, as to exceed the touch of the finest Pencil, and Belief, 'till seen. It being intirely the Work of Nature, is, by good Judges, esteemed the most peculair Gem in the World; not to be equalled for Beauties, Rarity, and Perfection, by any Jewel, in the possession of the greatest Virtuoso; nor in the choicest Cabinet, or Museum on Earth. The Middle Piece exhibits the whole surface, and is for the Important Subjects represented in it, Worthy to be richly Adorned, as an Emblem of Love & Peace, and preserved in the Cabinet, or Regalia of a true Christian Prince. It has been many Years in the Possession of Jonas Cockerton, in the City of London, where the Buyers of the Print, may freely Compare it, with the Original Stone, untill disposed of". There are Biblical references in the margin, a quote from Paradise Lost and an additional note at the foot: "Those that send for the Print will have a Ticket to see the Stone at large" and "now in the possession of Mr. Savery, 54, Cornhill". It appears to have changed hands more than once as the Lennox-Boyd impression is accompanied by a cutting from a newspaper dated in manuscript 1778 advertising the sale of the stone "By Messrs. Langfords, At their House under the Great Piazza, Covent-garden, on Wednesday the 1st of April, at One o'clock", adding that Cockerton "has left particular directions to his Executors for the disposal of it" and that it is "now in the possession of Adey Bellamy, nephew, late partner, and successor to Jonas Cockerton, in the Poultry aforesaid, where tickets (gratis) may be had to see the stone, prints of it with English and French descriptions".

The first Catholic President also praises the Bishop?s advocacy of "religious liberty and tolerance"The issue of Kennedy's religion was a significant one - if not the most significant one - in the 1960 presidential campaign. JFK?s speechwriter Ted Sorenson would later say, "Clearly there was a very large number that didn't think Catholics should be president of the U.S.? And the prejudice was quite open. Richard Nixon, Kennedy's opponent, piously said, "I am not going to raise the religion issue." To demonstrate his sincerity, he said that in every state. So, as Sorenson noted, "it was out there.? Kennedy would meet this prejudice head on.Bishop G. Bromley Oxnam, often called "America's Protestant cardinal?, was president of American Methodist bishops as well as a leader of the POAU, the lobbying group, Protestants and Other Americans United for the Separation of Church and State, and the FCC - a precursor to the National Council of Churches. His antipathy to the American Catholic hierarchy was well known. But a key strength of Kennedy was his willingness to meet face to face with those who were potentially his strongest opposition. Kennedy met with Oxnam before the campaign, and the Bishop introduced him in April 1959 to a meeting of 51 Methodist bishops - a group no less hostile than the Houston Ministers Association that Kennedy would meet the next year in Texas. Kennedy met with the best of his opposition for dialogue and debate, and the Houston ministers and Methodist bishops respected his courageous engagement with them. Sorenson stated that after the American Methodist bishops meeting, "I had a secret meeting with him [Oxnam] to enlist his help with the campaign?"On May 3, 1960, one week before the key West Virginia Primary, Oxnam (whose long years of opposition to the American Catholic hierarchy gave him "impeccable?credentials for the task), Francis Sayre (Dean of the Washington Episcopal Cathedral), and eleven other Protestant leaders issued an open letter to their "Fellow Pastors in Christ." "Quite apart from what our attitude toward the Roman Church may be,? the letter said,?We think it unjust to discount anyone of [the candidates] because of bis chosen faith.?On Sept. 12, 1960, presidential candidate Kennedy gave his famous speech to the Greater Houston Ministerial Association, a group of Protestant ministers, on the issue of his religion. He said in part: "But let me stress again that these are my views. For contrary to common newspaper usage, I am not the Catholic candidate for president. I am the Democratic Party's candidate for president, who happens also to be a Catholic. I do not speak for my church on public matters, and the church does not speak for me.?Aside from the question of religion, the Kennedy generation of John, Robert, and Ted was known for its dedication to public service. They epitomized the ideal of making the world a better place. It is summed up in Ted Kennedy's eulogy of his brother, Robert: "My brother need not be idealized, or enlarged in death beyond what he was in life; to be remembered simply as a good and decent man, who saw wrong and tried to right it, saw suffering and tried to heal it, saw war and tried to stop it. Those of us who loved him and who take him to his rest today, pray that what he was to us and what he wished for others will some day come to pass for all the world."Indeed such a concept was central to JFK's inaugural address, in which he wrote "The energy, the faith, the devotion which we bring to this endeavor will light our country and all who serve it--and the glow from that fire can truly light the world." The idea of self sacrifice in service of a better world for others is built into his most famous quotation, "Ask not what your country can do for you--ask what you can do for your country."Typed letter signed, on White House letterhead, Washington, March 15, 1963, to Oxnam's widow, praising his contributions. "All Americans are saddened by the loss of your husband. His life was so full of good deeds, as of fame, that it can truthfully be said that he left this world a better place than he found it."He was particularly nice to me on many occasions, and his strong views on behalf of religious liberty and tolerance were not dimmed by his retirement. In more recent times I have missed having the opportunity to visit with him; I know how much you will miss him now. Please accept my sincerest sympathy.?This letter comes to us via a friend of the Oxnam descendants, and has never before been offered for sale.

2 volumes (of 3). Folio (18 x 11 2/8 inches). Fine mezzotint double portrait of the Buck brothers by Richard Houston after Joseph Highmore, additional engraved title-page by Charles Grignion after Henri Gravelot in volume one, folding engraved general index map 428 EXCEPTIONALLY FINE engraved views, including 6 FINE large folding plates (without the volume of town and city views). Contemporary mottled calf (rebacked to elaborate style, lower cover of volume one bumped at the bottom edge). A FINE AND ATTRACTIVE COPY OF PROBABLY THE BEST COLLECTION OF VIEWS OF ANTIQUITIES IN 18TH-CENTURY ENGLAND AND WALES, and providing a unique record of English and Welsh medieval and later architecture, much of which has either disappeared altogether, or has been altered almost beyond recognition. This monumental project was initially published over three decades from the 1720s. Having achieved great success with his publications of town prospects, Samuel Buck announced in November 1726 ".his intention of systematically recording ruins throughout England. The castles, religious foundations, and other remains of antiquity throughout the kingdom, he argued, were in a lamentable condition. He would 'rescue the mangled remains' of 'these aged & venerable edifices from the inexorable jaws of time' (S. Buck, 'Proposals for the publication of . twenty-four views of castles . in the counties of Lincoln and Nottingham', 1 Nov 1726, copy in priv. coll.), by visiting and recording them. In the summer of 1727 Nathaniel accompanied Samuel on a peregrination of Lancashire, Cheshire, and Derbyshire. In 1728 the brothers announced their plan to undertake the remaining counties of northern England, but they discovered enough recordable ruins in Durham and Northumberland for the following year's set of twenty-four, and Cumberland and Westmorland had to wait. In 1729-31 they took their sketch-boards to the midlands, between 1732 and 1736 they covered the counties in the south of England and also in Monmouthshire, in 1737 they covered the counties of East Anglia, and in 1738 they completed England by dealing with Cumberland and Westmorland. Finally they produced sets for Wales, apparently touring the counties of Wales in 1739-41. With the publication in 1742 of Anglesey, Caernarvonshire, Denbighshire, Flintshire, Merioneth, Montgomeryshire, and Radnor, the antiquities project was completed. This project constituted only half of the Buck brothers' enterprise. From 1728 they had worked on a parallel project: producing and publishing a series of long prospects of English and Welsh 'Cities, Sea-ports, and Capital Towns'.The copper plates for printing the antiquities and the principal series of town prospects were acquired by the Fleet Street printmaker Robert Sayer. Sayer reissued the prints in 1774, making them available in single sheets, or bound into three volumes with the comprehensive title "Buck's Antiquities" (Ralph Hyde for DNB).
