Book excerpt: The Keystone State, so nicknamed because it was geographically situated in the middle of the thirteen original colonies and played a crucial role in the founding of the United States, has remained at the heart of American history. Created partly as a safe haven for people from all walks of life, Pennsylvania is today the home of diverse cultures, religions, ethnic groups, social classes, and occupations. Many ideas, institutions, and interests that were formed or tested in Pennsylvania spread across America and beyond, and continue to inform American culture, society, and politics. Pennsylvania: A History of the Commonwealth is the first comprehensive history of the Keystone State in almost three decades. In it distinguished scholars view Pennsylvania's history critically and honestly, setting the Commonwealth's story in the larger context of national social, cultural, economic, and political development. Part I offers a narrative history and Part II offers a series of "Ways to Pennsylvania's Past" -- nine concise guides designed to enable readers to discover Pennsylvania's heritage for themselves. Pennsylvania: A History of the Commonwealth is the result of a unique collaboration between The Pennsylvania State University Press and The Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission (PHMC), the official history agency of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The result is a remarkable account of how Pennsylvanians have lived, worked, and played through the centuries.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On Screen and Off shows that the making of Nazism was a local affair and the Nazi city a product of more than models and plans emanating from Berlin. In Hamburg, film was key in turning this self-styled "Gateway to the World" into a "Nazi city." The Nazi regime imagined film as a powerful tool to shape National Socialist subjects. In Hamburg, those very subjects chanced upon film culture as a seemingly apolitical opportunity to articulate their own ideas about how Nazism ought to work. Tracing discourses around film production and film consumption in the city, On Screen and Off illustrates how Nazi ideology was envisaged, imagined, experienced, and occasionally even fought over. Local authorities in Hamburg, from the governor Karl Kaufmann to youth wardens and members of the Hamburg Film Club, used debates over cinema to define the reach and practice of National Socialism in the city. Film thus engendered a political space in which local activists, welfare workers, cultural experts, and administrators asserted their views about the current state of affairs, articulated criticism and praise, performed their commitment to the regime, and policed the boundaries of the Volksgemeinschaft. Of all the championed "people's products," film alone extended the promise of economic prosperity and cultural preeminence into the war years and beyond the city's destruction. From the ascension of the Nazi regime through the smoldering rubble, going to the movies grounded normalcy in the midst of rupture.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from One Hundred and Fifty, Years of School History in Lancaster, Pennsylvania The patrons of this work, who encouraged and stimulated the author of it to prepare and publish a history of education in the City of Lancaster, have no occasion to apologize for or to regret the undertaking. The education of a people is at all times a very large share of their history; and to trace the men who, and the influences which, developed, organized and operated the educational forces of a community is in a large measure to set forth the history of that section of our county, our Commonwealth and our country. James Russel Lowell says: It was in making education not only common to all, but in some sense compulsory on all, that the destiny of the free republics of America was practically settled. During the past decade a great impulse has been given to the study and publication of our local history. It has come to be recognized that the investigation of it in detail must precede the fashioning by some master hand of this material into a compact and well-proportioned story of a great county, and of its most interesting and historic shire - town. The many monographs which have enriched the proceedings of the Lancaster County Historical Society have, each and all, no less immeasurable permanent value than passing popular interest. Originally projected as such a casual paper, the story of the schools of Lancaster grew into a volume. To have razeed it into a mere sketch would have been to discard and possibly forever lost annals that years (and even centuries) About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
