Book excerpt: Excerpt from Handbook of the Venezuelan Question and the Monroe Doctrine That effect it probably had an agency in producing; and, if so, it has performed its office. The President had no power to bind the Nation by such a pledge." Polk in 1845 and 1848. When Polk uttered these words he was a member of Congress from Tennessee. But when our country was next called on to apply the doctrine Polk was President of the United States and had been elected by a party whose cry was "Give us Texas or divide the spoons!" "The whole of Oregon or none; fifty-four, forty, or fight!" and saw before him a war with Mexico and serious trouble with England. In 1826 the Monroe doctrine, he thought, had been "designed to produce an effect on the councils of the Holy Alliance" and "had performed its office." Now he found it had still an office to perform, gave his "cordial concurrence in its wisdom and sound policy," and sent this message to Congress: "It is well known to the American people and to all nations that this Government has never interfered with the relations subsisting between other Governments. We have never made ourselves parties to their wars or their alliances; we have not sought their territories by conquest; we have not mingled with parties in their domestic struggles; and, believing our own form of government to be the best, we have never attempted to propagate it by intrigues, by diplomacy, or by force. We may claim on this continent a like exemption from European interference. The nations of America are equally sovereign and independent with those of Europe. They possess the same rights, independent of all foreign interposition, to make war, to conclude peace, and to regulate their internal affairs. The people of the United States cannot, therefore, view with indifference attempts of European powers to interfere with the Independent action of nations on this continent." The cause of these remarks was the dispute - in which we were then engaged with England - regarding the ownership of the Oregon country. She claimed as far south as the Columbia River. We claimed as far north as 54 degrees 40 minutes. It was as much a territorial dispute as that now going on with Venezuela. Yet Polk did not hesitate to apply the Monroe doctrine and to assert that "in the existing circumstances of the world, the present is deemed a proper occasion to reiterate and reaffirm the principle avowed by Mr. Monroe, and to state my cordial concurrence in its wisdom and sound policy. The reassertion of this principle, especially in reference to North America, is, at this day, but the promulgation of a policy which no European power should cherish the disposition to resist. Existing rights of every European nation should be respected, but it is due alike to our safety and our interests that the efficient protection of our laws should be extended over our whole territorial limits, and that it should be distinctly announced to the world as our settled policy, that no future European colony or dominion shall, with our consent, be planted or established on any part of the North American Continent." Again a little while and Polk applied the doctrine to the purely territorial case of Yucatan. A war had broken out between the Indians and the whites who, driven to desperation, appealed for help to England, Spain, and the United States, offering in return the dominion and sovereignty of the Peninsula. This was not a case of interference by any foreign power. No effort was being made by any European nation to "extend its system." Two such powers had been invited by a hard-pressed people struggling for life to defend them and take in return their country. But Polk, taking the broad ground that any European people who by any means gained on our continents one foot of territory more than they had in 1823, even with the consent and at the request of the owners of it, were "extending their system," sent this message to Congress in.

On some of the lowlands, especially about Lake Maracaibo, the heat is intense; but in the more western regions the trade winds so modify the temperature that the thermometer seldom rises above 82 degrees or falls below 60. In the interior, of course, there are greater variations of heat and cold. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from British Aggressions in Venezuela, or the Monroe Doctrine on Trial On the northeastern shores of the South American continent, extending westward and southward from the Atlantic ocean and the gulf of Paria to the Orinoco river and the watersheds of the Amazon, is a vast expanse of rich and beautiful, though as yet but sparsely populated country, known as the Guayanas.1 Such is its peculiar topographical conformation that, although within the lines of the tropics, it has great diversity of climate, and is capable of almost every variety of agricultural product common to the temperate zone. Its natural wealth of soil, mine, and forest is almost incalculable; while its favored geographical position, fine harbors, and network of navigable rivers place it in the very front rank of future commercial possibilities.

Book excerpt: How do you tailor education to the learning needs of adults? Do they learn differently from children? How does their life experience inform their learning processes? These were the questions at the heart of Malcolm Knowles’ pioneering theory of andragogy which transformed education theory in the 1970s. The resulting principles of a self-directed, experiential, problem-centred approach to learning have been hugely influential and are still the basis of the learning practices we use today. Understanding these principles is the cornerstone of increasing motivation and enabling adult learners to achieve. The 9th edition of The Adult Learner has been revised to include: Updates to the book to reflect the very latest advancements in the field. The addition of two new chapters on diversity and inclusion in adult learning, and andragogy and the online adult learner. An updated supporting website. This website for the 9th edition of The Adult Learner will provide basic instructor aids including a PowerPoint presentation for each chapter. Revisions throughout to make it more readable and relevant to your practices. If you are a researcher, practitioner, or student in education, an adult learning practitioner, training manager, or involved in human resource development, this is the definitive book in adult learning you should not be without.
