Book excerpt: A “supremely entertaining” (The New Yorker) exploration of who gets to record the world’s history—from Julius Caesar to William Shakespeare to Ken Burns—and how their biases influence our understanding about the past. There are many stories we can spin about previous ages, but which accounts get told? And by whom? Is there even such a thing as “objective” history? In this “witty, wise, and elegant” (The Spectator), book, Richard Cohen reveals how professional historians and other equally significant witnesses, such as the writers of the Bible, novelists, and political propagandists, influence what becomes the accepted record. Cohen argues, for example, that some historians are practitioners of “Bad History” and twist reality to glorify themselves or their country. “Scholarly, lively, quotable, up-to-date, and fun” (Hilary Mantel, author of the bestselling Thomas Cromwell trilogy), Making History investigates the published works and private utterances of our greatest chroniclers to discover the agendas that informed their—and our—views of the world. From the origins of history writing, when such an activity itself seemed revolutionary, through to television and the digital age, Cohen brings captivating figures to vivid light, from Thucydides and Tacitus to Voltaire and Gibbon, Winston Churchill and Henry Louis Gates. Rich in complex truths and surprising anecdotes, the result is a revealing exploration of both the aims and art of history-making, one that will lead us to rethink how we learn about our past and about ourselves.

Book excerpt: In History Makers, Dutch Sheets and William Ford III reveal how God wants us to connect with the powerful and timeless things He has done in the past so that we can become empowered for the future. We must look to our Christian forefathers and pray for the renewal of the covenants God made with them, building on God's past work to move closer to His ultimate goals for us as a nation and a planet. Now is our chance to connect with the past, shaping the outcome of the future, and turning it back in God's direction!

Book excerpt: Here is the first comprehensive survey of modern craft in the United States. Makers follows the development of studio craft--objects in fiber, clay, glass, wood, and metal--from its roots in nineteenth-century reform movements to the rich diversity of expression at the end of the twentieth century. More than four hundred illustrations complement this chronological exploration of the American craft tradition. Keeping as their main focus the objects and the makers, Janet Koplos and Bruce Metcalf offer a detailed analysis of seminal works and discussions of education, institutional support, and the philosophical underpinnings of craft. In a vivid and accessible narrative, they highlight the value of physical skill, examine craft as a force for moral reform, and consider the role of craft as an aesthetic alternative. Exploring craft's relationship to fine arts and design, Koplos and Metcalf foster a critical understanding of the field and help explain craft's place in contemporary culture. Makers will be an indispensable volume for craftspeople, curators, collectors, critics, historians, students, and anyone who is interested in American craft.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The magic islands of Hawaii are endowed with an extraordinary literary heritage, from the legends of the ancient Polynesians and the logs of voyagers to stories by some of the great writers of our time. This rich collection complements A Hawaiian Reader, published in 1959. The twenty-four selections the editors have chosen are representative of the best literature of Hawaii, providing at the same time a vivid chronicle of the islands' history. Beginning with James A. Michener's recounting of the volcanic birth of the beautiful islands, the book traces Hawaii's history through accounts of the reign of the celebrated Kamehameha I and other monarchs, and selections from the journals of missionaries who ventured among the pagan islands. Here also is Blake Clark's diverting adaptation of a sailor's journal of the 18th century, "Impressions of Honolulu" by the intrepid Isabella Bird, written in 1873, and first-rate works of fiction by such writers as J. P. Marquand, Robert Louis Stevenson and Eugene Burdick. Although some of the selections were written nearly two hundred years ago, only minor changes have been made to modernize punctuation and spelling. Thus the editors have preserved the true flavor of the original works, capturing the aura of excitement and enchantment that has surrounded the islands throughout the years."--Dust jacket.
