Download or read book Next to Godliness written by Daniel Burnstein and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2024-02-12 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To many Progressive Era reformers, the extent of street cleanliness was an important gauge for determining whether a city was providing the conditions necessary for impoverished immigrants to attain a state of "decency"--a level of individual well-being and morality that would help ensure a healthy and orderly city. Daniel Eli Burnstein's study examines prominent street sanitation issues in Progressive Era New York City--ranging from garbage strikes to "juvenile cleaning leagues"--to explore how middle-class reformers amassed a cross-class and cross-ethnic base of support for social reform measures to a degree greater than in practically any other period of prosperity in U.S. history. The struggle for enhanced civic sanitation serves as a window for viewing Progressive Era social reformers' attitudes, particularly their emphasis on mutual obligations between the haves and have-nots, and their recognition of the role of negative social and physical conditions in influencing individual behaviors.
Download or read book A Theory of Everything Else written by Laura Pedersen and published by She Writes Press. This book was released on 2020-09-01 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: That elusive Holy Grail of modern physics, A Theory of Everything (ToE), would explain the universe in a single set of equations. Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking tackled the problem during their lifetimes and the quest continues today in laboratories around the world. Leaving string theory, galaxy clusters, and supersymmetry to the Quantum Computer and Hadron Collider crowd, Pedersen has taken up the rest—that is, A Theory of Everything Else (ToEE), based on her own groundbreaking experiences as a dog walker, camp counselor, and Bingo caller. Pedersen’s essays are a series of colorful helium balloons that entertain as well as affirm and uplift. Why, she ponders in one essay, are thousands perishing as a result of assault weapons, carbon emissions, forest fires, pesticides, and processed foods—and yet how lawn darts were banned in the 1980s after two people died? In A Theory of Everything Else, Pedersen vividly demonstrates how life can appear to grind us down while it’s actually polishing us up—and why everyone wants to live a long time but no one wants to grow old.

This book was released on 2011-06-13 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Fascinating . . . a lively and perceptive cultural history.” —Annette Gordon-Reed, The New Yorker In this wide-ranging, brilliantly researched work, David S. Reynolds traces the factors that made Uncle Tom’s Cabin the most influential novel ever written by an American. Upon its 1852 publication, the novel’s vivid depiction of slavery polarized its American readership, ultimately widening the rift that led to the Civil War.

Download or read book The Collected Writings of Sherman and Grace Coolidge written by Sherman Coolidge and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2023-05 with total page 383 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sherman and Grace Coolidge were a remarkable couple in many respects. Sherman Coolidge (Runs On Top), born in the early 1860s into the Northern band of Arapahos, experienced the extreme violence of the Indian Wars, including the death of his father, as a young boy. Grace Wetherbee Coolidge was born into wealth and privilege in 1873, only to reject her life as a New York heiress and become a missionary on the Wind River Reservation in Wyoming. It was there that Sherman and Grace met and later married in 1902. After eight years together at Wind River, both went on to achieve prominence: Sherman as the president of the Native-run reform group the Society of American Indians (1911-1923), Grace as the author of Teepee Neighbors, a book describing her time on the reservation that drew praise from critics such as H. L. Mencken. Sherman was an Episcopal priest and a mesmerizing speaker who had the unique ability to blend his assimilated Western perspective with Arapaho values to educate the American public about the significant challenges facing Native peoples, including endemic poverty, racism, and inequality. Offering unprecedented entrée into the most significant writings and documents of a leading Native American advocate and his wife, this volume is an intimate portrait of their life and contributes to our understanding of American Indian activism at a key moment of Indigenous resurgence against the settler state.

Download or read book Vanished Reality and Other Poems written by Tapeshwar Prasad and published by Partridge Publishing. This book was released on 2018-04-23 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The anthology Vanished Reality and Other Poems is startlingly artistic in emotional endowments, poetic materials, in style and ability, and in structure and texture to reveal innate literary distinction and touch the heart of the readers for a perspective view of life through poetry. The poet possesses the perfect instrumenthis virtuoso language. His poetry bears on existential gravitas. The author seems to dovetail his subtle, objective, ethical ideas and thoughts in his heartfull subjective feelings and emotions, and he presents them on a pheromonous platter of perfumed and glittering potentialities. Intertwined with the words are cosmic truths. The meanings are besides the words and behind the lines and under the slippers. An enchanting illusion and delusion hallucinates the reader and keeps him mesmerized, albeit saner and wiser. Simple and concrete, thoughts and ideas interlaced and intertwined with deep philosophical certitude keep the readers entangled and enthralled, bound with amazement with the tapestry of playing existentialism and haunting individualism. Verse with verve. The ideas that the words and the poems convey are sacrosanct as they are both jettisoned, felt and followed. Only with regret could a genuine reader and connoisseur pass but casually over such a rare and unique vibrating book and literary bonanza.
