Martin Waldseemüller, of Freiburg, in his Cosmographiae Introductio, published in 1507, wrote: "I do not see why any one may justly forbid it to be named after Americus, its discoverer, a man of sagacious mind, Amerige, that is the land of Americus or America, since both Europe and Asia derived their names from women."

Download or read book America and the Germans Volume 2 written by Frank Trommler and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2018-01-09 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unprecedented in scope and critical perspective, America and the Germans presents an analysis of the history of the Germans in America and of the turbulent relations between Germany and the United States. The two volumes bring together research in such diverse fields as ethnic studies, political science, linguistics, and literature, as well as American and German history. Contributors are leading American and German scholars, such as Kathleen Neils Conzen, Joshua A. Fishman, Peter Gay, Harold Jantz, Gunter Moltmann, Steven Muller, Theo Sommer, Fritz Stern , Herbert A. Strauss, Gerhard L. Weinberg, and Don Yoder. These scholars assess the ethnicity and acculturation of German-Americans from the seventeenth century to the twentieth; the state of German language and culture in the United States; World War I as a turning point in relations between German and America; the political, economic, and cultural relations before and after World War II; and the midcentury state of affairs between the two countries. Special chapters are devoted to the Pennsylvania Germans, Jewish-German immigration after 1933, Americanism in Germany, and a critical appraisal of current research. American and the Germans presents a fascinating introduction to the subject as well as new perspectives for a more critical and comprehensive study of its many facets. It can be used as a reader in the fields of German studies, American studies, political science, European and German history, American history, ethnic studies, and German and American literature. Although each contribution reflects the state of current scholarship, it is formulated with the uninitiated reader in mind.

This book was released on 2007-06-22 with total page 476 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How closely connected should church and state be?

Book excerpt: This is an annotated version of the book1. contains an updated biography of the author at the end of the book for a better understanding of the text.2. This book has been checked and corrected for spelling errorsIn the Preface to my "American Traits," in which I defended Germanideals and criticised some American tendencies, I said, some years ago:"It has been often questioned whether I am right in fighting merelyagainst American shortcomings from a German point of view, and in tryingto destroy prejudices on this side of the water; whether it is not, in astill higher degree, my duty to attempt the same for the other side;--forGerman prejudices concerning the United States are certainly not lesssevere, and the points in which Germany might learn from Americanculture not less numerous. The question is fair, and I shall soon putbefore the German public a book on American life--a book which deals in adetailed way with the political, economic, intellectual, and socialaspects of American culture. Its purpose is to interpret systematicallythe democratic ideals of America."Here is the book; it fulfils the promise, and it might appear that nofurther explanation is needed. And yet, in sending a book into theworld, I have never felt more strongly the need of prefatoryexcuses--excuses not for writing the book, but for agreeing to itstranslation into English.To outline American life for readers beyond the sea is one thing; toappear before an American audience and to tell them solemnly that thereis a Republican and a Democratic party, and that there are troublesbetween capital and labour, is quite another thing. To inform my Germancountrymen about America may be to fill a long-felt want; but, as aGerman, to inform the Americans on matters which they knew before theywere born seems, indeed, worse than superfluous.When I was urged, on so many sides, to bring my "Americans" before theAmericans, it was, therefore, clear to me from the outset that I oughtnot to do it myself under any circumstances. If I had translated thebook myself, it would have become simply an English book, written inEnglish by the author; and yet its only possible right to existence mustlie in its reflected character, in its having been written for others,in its coming back to the New World from the Old. My friend, Dr. Holt,who has been for years my assistant in the Harvard PsychologicalLaboratory, has assisted, therefore, in this social psychologicalexperiment, and translated the book from the German edition.I have been still more influenced by another consideration. If the bookwere chiefly a record of facts, it would be folly for a foreigner topresent it to the citizens; but the aim of the book is a quite differentone. To make a real scientific study of the facts, I should have feltutterly incompetent; indeed, it may be doubted whether any one couldhope to master the material of the various fields: a division of labourwould then become necessary. The historian, the politician, theeconomist, the jurist, the engineer, and many others would have toco-operate in a scholarly investigation of American events; and I haveno right to any of these titles. I am merely a psychologist, and havenot set out to discover new material. The only aim of the book is tostudy the American man and his inner tendencies; and, perhaps, a truername for my book would have been "The Philosophy of Americanism." Forsuch a task the outsider may be, after all, not quite unsuited, sincethe characteristic forces make themselves more easily felt by him thanby those who have breathed the atmosphere from their childhood. I am,therefore, anxious to insist that the accent of the book lies on thefour chapters, "Spirit of Self-Direction", "Spirit of Self-Realization,""Spirit of Self-Perfection," and "Spirit of Self-Assertion"; while thosechapters on the economic and political problems

Download or read book Analysis of Creationism in the United States from Scopes 1925 to Kitzmiller 2005 and its Effect on the Nation s Science Education System written by Elizabeth Watts and published by Göttingen University Press. This book was released on 2018 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Creationism is based on a fundamental belief in the inerrancy of the bible and negatively affects science education because creationist proponents insist on the inclusion of supernatural explanations for the appearance of species, in particular the origin of humans. This detrimental effect on education is particularly relevant in the United States, where almost 70% of the population rejects the idea of naturalistic evolution and the majority of American students struggle to meet the college-readiness benchmarks in science and math. This dissertation provides a comprehensive look at the issue from historical, judicial and educational perspectives. Twenty-four legal cases in the United States regarding anti-evolutionary strategies were analyzed in detail. Strategic trends were identified ranging from the statewide banning of evolution in public schools to the required teaching of Creation Science. The exact effect of creationist political activity was discerned through the analysis of state science standards and textbook adoption processes, which illustrated the creationists’ ability to lobby for a diminished coverage of evolution in science standards and textbooks. It was found that despite attempts made by scientific and educational agencies to provide guidelines such as the Next Generation Science Standards, the majority of American state science standards continue to be sub-par and one of the major flaws of these standards is the overall attempt to weaken the coverage of evolution throughout the standards. A similar loss of quality occurs in textbooks since publishers engage in self-censorship in order to avoid controversial topics such as evolution in order to prevent their books from being rejected. An examination of the free-choice learning materials revealed that creationist proponents are very active and successful in producing books, films and museums for the sole purpose of promoting creationism. Moreover, a brief look at the creationist movement in Germany provided a powerful comparison to the United States and elucidated the key components necessary for a creationist movement to exist and flourish, namely the presence of fundamentalist willing to fight to get anti-evolutionary materials introduced into science classrooms. This study provides new insights into the creationist phenomenon, present not only in the United States but also increasingly present in European countries such as Germany. Understanding the detrimental link between creationism and science education will help the science community realize that this topic needs to be continually readdressed and that it is imperative that these creationist trends are not dismissed as inconsequential.
