Download or read book Eleanor Marx written by Yvonne Kapp and published by Verso Books. This book was released on 2018-07-10 with total page 847 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Yvonne Kapp’s monumental biography of the daughter of Karl Marx who became a radical activist Eleanor Marx is one of the most tragically overlooked radical figures in history, usually overshadowed by her father, Karl. But not only did she edit, translate, transcribe and collaborate with her father, she also led an extraordinary life as a labour organiser, trade unionist, translator, actor, writer and feminist. Much of this we only know because of this highly acclaimed, outstanding exception to the omission of Eleanor Marx from history. Yvonne Kapp’s biography was first published at the height of feminist organising in the 1970s. Kapp brilliantly succeeds in capturing Eleanor’s spirit, from a lively child opining on the world’s affairs, to the new woman, aspiring to the stage, earning her living as a free intellectual, and helping to lead England’s unskilled workers at the height of the new unionism. She was always more than, yet at the same time inescapably, Karl Marx’s daughter. It is also, inevitably, an unrivalled biography of the Marx household in Victorian London, of the Marx circle, and of Friedrich Engels, the family’s extraordinary mentor. This single-volume edition of Kapp’s foundational biography includes an introduction by Sally Alexander.

Download or read book Eleanor S Pursuit written by H. Thomas Howell and published by Archway Publishing. This book was released on 2014-12-01 with total page 497 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Eleanor Pendleton met Louis M. Ream in 1911, it was love at first sight. She was a Broadway actress known for her beauty and dancing ability in musical comedy productions during the early twentieth century. Louis was tall, dark, and handsome and, as she soon discovered, the youngest son and presumptive heir of Norman B. Ream, one of Americas wealthiest men. The problem for Eleanor, as she learned after eloping with Louis, was her father-in-laws deep-seated aversion to the theatre; he regarded all actresses as disreputable. After an overnight trip to seek his fathers forgiveness and understanding, Louis disappeared. A blend of history and melodrama, H. Thomas Howells Eleanors Pursuit offers the biographical legacy of Eleanor Pendleton. It looks beneath the sensational newspaper coverage of 1911 to explore the confrontation between father and son and Eleanors anxious vigil while awaiting the return of her husband. When Reams lawyer arrives at her apartment instead of Louis and informs her the marriage is over, Eleanor collapses in disbelief. The lawyers take center stage, displacing the lovers. Chronicling one of the biggest celebrity newspaper stories of its day, Eleanors Pursuit follows the secret deal-making sessions, the stage-managed travesty of justice, and the ultimate courtroom battle. These events come to life as the witnesses and lawyers reveal the private details in their own words. Howell also tells how the public reacted to the story as it unfolded. With surprises at every turn, this biography explains the exceptional final stage of Eleanors pursuit.

Download or read book Sincerely Andy Rooney written by Andy Rooney and published by PublicAffairs. This book was released on 2009-04-28 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Andy Rooney's weekly commentaries on 60 Minutes and his twice-weekly syndicated newspaper columns-addressing everything from deceptive cereal packaging to the existence of God-have made him America's best-known critic of the quotidian. As you might imagine, he gets a lot of letters in response to his often iconoclastic views. As you might not expect, he writes a lot of letters, too. Now Rooney has collected the funniest, wisest, and most interesting of his letters, spanning several decades and addressing issues both momentous and trivial. He responds to complaints from viewers; he corresponds with old friends; and he writes to his children about the things he cares about most. Variously caustic, hilarious, and sage, these unfailingly entertaining letters reveal not only Rooney the iconoclast but Rooney the American Everyman. Sincerely, Andy Rooney is Andy Rooney at his best-and a wonderful gift book that will make readers chuckle and think twice.
Download or read book The Congressional Evolution of the United States of America High School Collegiate Curriculum written by Stanley Yavneh Klos and published by Historic.us Corporation. This book was released on 2018-03-01 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In most history textbooks, compilers do enumerate the differences between the current executive office of U.S. President and Commander-in-Chief with the presidential office that once presided over the Continental and Articles of Confederation Congresses. The opinion, however, that these “Presidents of Congress” were actually United States “Heads of State” is not addressed in American history texts. Moreover, the examination of the similarities and differences between the Continental Congress, United States in Congress Assembled and the current United States Congress is also deficient of thoughtful studentship. The Congressional Evolution of the United States of America (CEUS) curriculum has been specifically designed to address these and key 1774-1790 political incongruities, which ultimately gave rise to the Congressional call for “…a Convention of delegates … to be held at Philadelphia for the sole and express purpose of revising the Articles of Confederation ...” The curriculum also addresses the Delegates decision to scrap the Articles of Confederation, frame the current United States Constitution and Congress proposing, on September 25, 1789, twelve constitutional amendments for States’ ratification consideration. The CEUS Curriculum was developed on the datum that there were three different congresses that preceded the current United States House of Representatives and Senate in Congress Assembled:United Colonies of North America Continental Congress (UCCC) United States of America Continental Congress (USCC) United States of America in Congress Assembled (USCA)The examination of the United States under the lens of its Congressional progression provides students with a pedagogy that can help them understand numerous founding inconsistencies like United States officials heralding the nation’s birthdate as July 4, 1776, while the United States Mint produces Delaware “First State” quarters based the State’s 1787 ratification of the current United States Constitution. Were there not member states in the United States of America Republic between 1776 and 1787? The CEUS curriculum addresses this contradiction in its module titled: Debate: Which State is the first U.S. State? Here, students are provided with primary sources demonstrating that New Hampshire’s United Colonies Continental Congress Delegates were the first to vote for Independence on July 2, 1776, while Virginia was the “First State” to ratify the Articles of Confederation on December 16, 1777,” and Delaware was the “First State” to ratify the current U.S. Constitution on December 7, 1787. Students are then asked: Was Delaware the First State? If not which State do you think is the first U.S. State? What historical evidence can be used to support your position? Work with your classmates to come to a consensus on which State was the “First U.S. State.”In addition to releasing the Congressional Evolution of the United States curriculum, we are in the process of creating 20 new CEUS Presidential Series videos for www.uspresidency.com. Four of the videos, First UCCC President Peyton Randolph, Second UCCC President Henry Middleton, Third USCA President John Hanson and Fifth USCA President Thomas Mifflin are completed and posted on this website. Finally, many of our former visitors may be wondering what happened to the America’s Four Republics concept unveiled at the Annapolis Continental Congress Festival in 2012. No reservations, the scholarship is sound but the pedagogy was too controversial for the primary and secondary educational systems in the United States. The Congressional Evolution of the United States Curriculum does address the possibility of different U.S. republics in its second module Challenge: Did the United Colonies Continental Congress govern as a Republic?, which provides ample primary sources for students to arrive at their own conclusions.

Download or read book All the Days of My Life written by Eleanor W. Cunningham and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2014-04-21 with total page 131 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From there, she chose to become a secretary, and attended Temple Secretarial school in Washington, D.C., graduating in 1941. Eleanor has been writing articles and short stories for much of her life. While in mid-life, she wrote the story of her friend, Anne Wetzells, miraculous healing, titled, He Touched Her. She submitted her manuscript to a Christian Writers contest by Warner Press, Anderson, Indiana, where it won second prize and was subsequently published. In the 1970s, the Montrose School was scheduled to be demolished by the State Highway Administration. Director, Eileen McGuckian, of Peerless Rockville, rescued it. She asked Eleanor to write a history of the school she had attended as a child. Her book, Montrose School, The First Ninety Years, was published by Peerless in 1990. In the late 1990s, Eleanor discovered letters her father had written to her mother. Her mother had traveled from Maine to Kentucky to teach black children who had no public schools. Thinking this was a story that must be told, Eleanor set about writing her third book, Miss Apple, the Story of a Maine Teacher in Kentucky, published in 2002 by AuthorHouse. Eleanors gift for writing poems convinced her friend Eileen that they should be published, and another friend, Peggy Bjarno, agreed to compile her fourth book in 2003, Portraits in Poetry. In her book, All the Days of My Life, Eleanor tells how she became a Christian at ten years of age, and how that influenced the many important decisions of her life to come.
