Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Destiny of the American City A portion of this manuscript was written several years ago, during a period of inflamed public opinion and social unrest, fraught with many misgivings and uncertainties. The period in question, was one most prolific in various and numerous remedies offered for the purpose of stimulating the building industry, each one a guaranteed specific for every economic ill. The object in offering it, at this time, is more for the purpose of giving some idea of the psychology of a period, filled with many economic problems, that had to be solved under conditions, new, varied and untried. The position taken at that time was far from being the most popular one, for the reason it offered very little encouragement for the builder to build, until some of the abuses with which the building industry was surrounded, were corrected.

It is not yet completed, but it has been so wide spread in its inﬂuence and results as to make it clear that what was unhappily true when Mr. Bryce wrote, cannot in truth be said today.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Deck of the Crescent City: A Picture of American Life An American, who, had he lived in England, would no doubt have added himself, by copious fruits of meditation and fancy, to the illustrious line of great English poets, but whose life, being cast in a country not ripe to enjoy "divine philosophy," and its "perpetual feast of nectared sweets, Where no crude surfeit reigns," has been one of comparative silence, yet whose deep-toned harp breathes into many ears inspiring cadences, and grieves hearts also with the sure conviction, that, in time to come, the stifling of such music will bring upon the land more just ignominy than can be compensated in honor by all the swift yachts, patent locks, six-barrelled revolvers, steamships without bow sprits, and metropolitan hotels, that can be invented between now and the Day of Judgment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American City, Vol. 7: July-December, 1912 One cannot but ask again, why this dupli cation of effort? Why one gymnasium and bath for the school and another for the community? The school needs the bath and gymnasium from nine to three; the com munity from four to ten. One is supple mentary to the other. Many of the down town schools maintain two gymnasiums: one on the top ﬂoor for the school, which is used one or two hours a day, and another on the ground ﬂoor, which is used during. The summer vacation and in the evenings. The public gets a comparatively small re turn fro-m these gymnasiums, because each is used so little; and the noise which is incident to gymnastic work in the upper gymnasium disturbs the classrooms below. The ground ﬂoor gymnasium is sunless and dark and dusty. Have not the Germans really solved the problem by putting the gymnasium and bath in a separate building in the school yard? In this way the school is not annoyed by the dust and noise incident to exercise, and the building is available for the use of the public as a municipal gymnasium and bath after school hours. The school ground is the best place for these institutions because duplication is thus avoided, and the utility is thus centrally located. It will be seen that by this means the city would get twice as much use of its plant as it is able to do at present. The municipal gymnasium and bath are used almost ex elusively in the late afternoon and evening, while the school needs the gymnasium and bath during the forenoon and the early part of the afternoon. Thus, they would be in use nearly all the time. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: NATIONAL BESTSELLER • The extraordinary account of James Garfield's rise from poverty to the American presidency, and the dramatic history of his assassination and legacy, from the bestselling author of The River of Doubt. "Crisp, concise and revealing history.... A fresh narrative that plumbs some of the most dramatic days in U.S. presidential history." —The Washington Post James Abram Garfield was one of the most extraordinary men ever elected president. Born into abject poverty, he rose to become a wunderkind scholar, a Civil War hero, a renowned congressman, and a reluctant presidential candidate who took on the nation's corrupt political establishment. But four months after Garfield's inauguration in 1881, he was shot in the back by a deranged office-seeker named Charles Guiteau. Garfield survived the attack, but become the object of bitter, behind-the-scenes struggles for power—over his administration, over the nation's future, and, hauntingly, over his medical care. Meticulously researched, epic in scope, and pulsating with an intimate human focus and high-velocity narrative drive, The Destiny of the Republic brings alive a forgotten chapter of U.S. history. Look for Candice Millard’s latest book, River of the Gods.

Book excerpt: Takaki traces the economic and political history of Indians, African Americans, Mexicans, Japanese, Chinese, Irish, and Jewish people in America, with considerable attention given to instances and consequences of racism. The narrative is laced with short quotations, cameos of personal experiences, and excerpts from folk music and literature. Well-known occurrences, such as the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire, the Trail of Tears, the Harlem Renaissance, and the Japanese internment are included. Students may be surprised by some of the revelations, but will recognize a constant thread of rampant racism. The author concludes with a summary of today's changing economic climate and offers Rodney King's challenge to all of us to try to get along. Readers will find this overview to be an accessible, cogent jumping-off place for American history and political science plus a guide to the myriad other sources identified in the notes.
