Download or read book Anti Intellectualism in American Life written by Richard Hofstadter and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2012-01-04 with total page 465 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the 1964 Pulitzer Prize in Nonfiction Anti-Intellectualism in American Life is a book which throws light on many features of the American character. Its concern is not merely to portray the scorners of intellect in American life, but to say something about what the intellectual is, and can be, as a force in a democratic society. "As Mr. Hofstadter unfolds the fascinating story, it is no crude battle of eggheads and fatheads. It is a rich, complex, shifting picture of the life of the mind in a society dominated by the ideal of practical success." —Robert Peel in the Christian Science Monitor

Download or read book American Leaves written by Samuel Osgood and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-01 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from American Leaves: Familiar Notes of Thought and Life The papers that make up this volume were written at leisure hours, of late years, on the spur of various occasions and experiences, and, with a single exception, they have in substance appeared in Harper's Monthly Magazine. They of course differ widely in style and topic, and range freely into various fields of thought and observation, yet they agree in being in close sympathy with American life in treating the struggles, fears, hopes, and aspirations of our common lot. There is no attempt at the regular order of an ethical or philosophical treatise, yet there is something of interior unity in the volume, and attentive readers may perhaps own that there is more of the reality than the show of careful and consistent thinking. Some thirteen years ago the Harper Brothers invited me to write for their Magazine, and I have done so more or less frequently since. If my humble experience is worth quoting, I will say honestly what has been the result of the effort. It seemed to me an awkward and difficult thing for a man perhaps over-scholastic in his thoughts and studies to write for the many in the most popular of American magazines, and I began with a good deal of diffidence. Now, after these years of occasional service, I can express my gratitude to the Monthly for two principal reasons - one of them expected, the other unexpected.

Download or read book Me Talk Pretty One Day written by David Sedaris and published by Back Bay Books. This book was released on 2009-05-04 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new collection from David Sedaris is cause for jubilation. His recent move to Paris has inspired hilarious pieces, including Me Talk Pretty One Day, about his attempts to learn French. His family is another inspiration. You Cant Kill the Rooster is a portrait of his brother who talks incessant hip-hop slang to his bewildered father. And no one hones a finer fury in response to such modern annoyances as restaurant meals presented in ludicrous towers and cashiers with 6-inch fingernails. Compared by The New Yorker to Twain and Hawthorne, Sedaris has become one of our best-loved authors. Sedaris is an amazing reader whose appearances draw hundreds, and his performancesincluding a jaw-dropping impression of Billie Holiday singing I wish I were an Oscar Meyer weinerare unforgettable. Sedariss essays on living in Paris are some of the funniest hes ever written. At last, someone even meaner than the French! The sort of blithely sophisticated, loopy humour that might have resulted if Dorothy Parker and James Thurber had had a love child. Entertainment Weekly on Barrel Fever Sidesplitting Not one of the essays in this new collection failed to crack me up; frequently I was helpless. The New York Times Book Review on Naked

This book was released on 2019-02-02 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from American Boys Life of Theodore Roosevelt The life of Theodore Roosevelt is one well worth studying by any American boy who wishes to make something of himself and mount high on the ladder of success. The twenty-sixth President of our country is a fine type of the true American of to-day, full of vim and vigor, quick to comprehend, and equally quick to act, not afraid to defend his opinions against all comers when satisfied that he is in the right, independent, and yet not lacking in fine social qualities, physically and morally courageous, and with a faith in himself and his God that is bound to make for good so long as he clings to it. Theodore Roosevelt comes from countless generations of fighting stock, both in this country and abroad. And yet as a youth the future hero of San Juan Hill was a delicate lad, and many fears were entertained that he might not live to manhood. But life in the open air, with judicious athletic exercise, accomplished wonders, and he became strong and hardy to an astonishing degree.

Download or read book The Old White Americans Classic Reprint written by Ales Hrdlicka and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-09-24 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Old White Americans The men, and the women who accompanied them and who were probably of similar good material, encountered in large measure new environments and lived a new life. They reared their families under these changed influences, and the children accommodated themselves completely to the new conditions - they became Americans. Then followed intermarriage, both within and without the various contingents that reached this land, and the original heterogeneity slowly gave place to a blend which constituted the body of the rising nation. How successful this new conglomerate proved to be, morally, intellectually, in defense and otherwise, are matters of history. It is certain that there was no loss of the original endowments; and also that there resulted in the course of time a considerable approach to unification of all those characteristics of mentality and behavior which are most readily subject to adaptation. It may be safely said that so far as outward manifestations are concerned, the descendants Of the Old Americans constitute today a fairly easily separable strain of white people, which is no longer English, Dutch, French, or Irish, but American. In view of these interesting facts anthropology for a long time has been confronted with the question, Have there also taken place in the descendants of the Old Americans physical Changes which produced, or tend to produce, a separate sub-type of the white people?
