Download or read book A Treasury of Great American Scandals written by Michael Farquhar and published by National Geographic Books. This book was released on 2003-07-01 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following on the heels of his national bestseller A Treasury of Royal Scandals, Michael Farquhar turns his attention to matters a little closer to home with A Treasury of Great American Scandals. From the unhappy family relationships of prominent Americans to the feuds, smear campaigns, duels, and infamous sex scandals that have punctuated our history, we see our founding fathers and other American heroes in the course of their all-too-human events. Ineffectual presidents, lazy generals, traitors; treacherous fathers, nagging mothers, ungrateful children, embarrassing siblings; and stories about insanity, death, and disturbing postmortems are all here, as are disagreeable marriages, vile habits, and, of course, sex: good sex, bad sex, and good-bad sex too. We can take comfort in the fact that we are no worse and no better than our forebears. But we do have better media coverage. Bonus educational material: A brief history of the United States, including scandals! The American Hall of Shame! A complete listing of presidential administrations!

Download or read book A Treasury of American Scrimshaw written by Michael McManus and published by Penguin Putnam. This book was released on 1997 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "It has been estimated that about 200,000 whalers from New England and New York created scrimshaw. Although these scrimshanders were not artists per se, their work - as can readily be seen and appreciated in the wonderful color plates for this book that are reproduced from the collections of four great American whaling museums - has a compelling beauty that captures one's interest through its display of craftsmanship. This pastime, which is distinctive to American whaling, produced many fascinating objects from the strictly utilitarian to the fully decorative, and they have been organized here in six main sections: For Use on Board, For Use at Home, Made to Be Seen, Known and Supposed Makers, Ornamentation, and Not What It Seems. They comprise an enduring and invaluable legacy of American folk art and history."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved
