Book excerpt: Excerpt from Recollections and Letters of Ernest Renan The composition of this little volume was suggested to me, so far as the first part is concerned, at least, by my dear friend Calmann-Lévy, in one of the last visits which he paid me at the College de France, about the month of May last. We calculated together the delay which the completion of the fourth volume of the "History of the People of Israel" would entail. The result of our calculation was, that it could be done only for the end of the year 1892. "Could you not" he said to me, "give me, in the meantime, a volume of miscellanies which could appear next winter?" I enumerated to him several instructive articles which had never been collected together. "No," he said to me; "take me as the measure of the public. What we wish from you, just now, is a volume in the style of your 'Souvenirs,' interesting for everybody, simple, personal" "I have, I told him, "several Breton papers, made up of old images, already firmly fixed. Perhaps others will occur to me. But, in order to form a volume from them, years would be required." "You have also some short speeches, some lectures.

Download or read book Robert Oppenheimer Letters and Recollections written by J. Robert Oppenheimer and published by Stanford Nuclear Age (Paperbac. This book was released on 1995 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Robert Oppenheimer (1904-1967) is one of the few American scientists who have become public and controversial figures in the twentieth century. This book adds a new dimension to the Oppenheimer story by offering a look at the private man behind the public figure. It consists of letters spanning the period from his Harvard student days in 1922 to his departure from Los Alamos in 1945. The letters are supplemented by recollections of those who knew Oppenheimer and by his own recollections from an interview a few years before his death. 'A beautifully organized collection of letters and reminiscences ... The editors have interviewed those who knew and worked with him, stirred in the necessary explanatory background, and produced an account, both scholarly and highly readable, which throws fresh light on a man who will probably always remain something of an enigma. Amid devotional defense and almost rabid attack, their book is a model of objectivity.' New York Times Book RevieW 'An intimate, carefully documented, and honest book.'

Download or read book Memories of Belonging Descendants of Italian Migrants to the United States 1884 Present written by Christa Wirth and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2015-02-11 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Memories of Belonging is a three-generation oral-history study of the offspring of southern Italians who migrated to Worcester, Massachusetts, in 1913. Supplemented with the interviewees’ private documents and working from U.S. and Italian archives, Christa Wirth documents a century of transatlantic migration, assimilation, and later-generation self-identification. Her research reveals how memories of migration, everyday life, and ethnicity are passed down through the generations, altered, and contested while constituting family identities. The fact that not all descendants of Italian migrants moved into the U.S. middle class, combined with their continued use of hyphenated identities, points to a history of lived ethnicity and societal exclusion. Moreover, this book demonstrates the extent of forgetting that is required in order to construct an ethnic identity.

Download or read book Cavalryman of the Lost Cause written by Jeffry D. Wert and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2009-09-22 with total page 522 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Now in paperback, this major biography of J.E.B. Stuart—the first in two decades—uses newly available documents to draw the fullest, most accurate portrait of the legendary Confederate cavalry commander ever published. • Major figure of American history: James Ewell Brown Stuart was the South’s most successful and most colorful cavalry commander during the Civil War. Like many who die young (Stuart was thirty-one when he succumbed to combat wounds), he has been romanticized and popular- ized. One of the best-known figures of the Civil War, J.E.B. Stuart is almost as important a figure in the Confederate pantheon as Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson. • Most comprehensive biography to date: Cavalryman of the Lost Cause is based on manuscripts and unpublished letters as well as the latest Civil War scholarship. Stuart’s childhood and family are scrutinized, as is his service in Kansas and on the frontier before the Civil War. The research in this biography makes it the authoritative work.
