This book was released on 2015-05-04 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing on the history of the British gentry to explain the contrasting sentiments of American small farmers and plantation owners, James L. Huston's expansive analysis offers a new understanding of the socioeconomic factors that fueled sectionalism and ignited the American Civil War. This groundbreaking study of agriculture's role in the war defies long-held notions that northern industrialization and urbanization led to clashes between North and South. Rather, Huston argues that the ideological chasm between plantation owners in the South and family farmers in the North led to the political eruption of 1854-56 and the birth of a sectionalized party system. Huston shows that over 70 percent of the northern population-by far the dominant economic and social element-had close ties to agriculture. More invested in egalitarianism and personal competency than in capitalism, small farmers in the North operated under a free labor ideology that emphasized the ideals of independence and mastery over oneself. The ideology of the plantation, by contrast, reflected the conservative ethos of the British aristocracy, which was the product of immense landed inequality and the assertion of mastery over others. By examining the dominant populations in northern and southern congressional districts, Huston reveals that economic interests pitted the plantation South against the small-farm North. The northern shift toward Republicanism depended on farmers, not industrialists: While Democrats won the majority of northern farm congressional districts from 1842 to 1853, they suffered a major defection of these districts from 1854 to 1856, to the antislavery organizations that would soon coalesce into the Republican Party. Utilizing extensive historical research and close examination of the voting patterns in congressional districts across the country, James Huston provides a remarkable new context for the origins of the Civil War.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a brilliant collaboration between writer and subject, Witold Rybczynski, the bestselling author of Home and City Life, illuminates Frederick Law Olmsted's role as a major cultural figure at the epicenter of nineteenth-century American history. We know Olmsted through the physical legacy of his stunning landscapes -- among them, New York's Central Park, California's Stanford University campus, and Boston's Back Bay Fens. But Olmsted's contemporaries knew a man of even more extraordinarily diverse talents. Born in 1822, he traveled to China on a merchant ship at the age of twenty-one. He cofounded The Nation magazine and was an early voice against slavery. He managed California's largest gold mine and, during the Civil War, served as the executive secretary to the United States Sanitary Commission, the precursor of the Red Cross. Rybczynski's passion for his subject and his understanding of Olmsted's immense complexity and accomplishments make his book a triumphant work. In A Clearing in the Distance, the story of a great nineteenth-century American becomes an intellectual adventure.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: George Perkins Marsh Prize, American Society for Environmental History VSNY Book Award, New York Metropolitan Chapter of the Victorian Society in America Hornblower Award for a First Book, New York Society Library James Broussard Best First Book Prize, Society for Historians of the Early American Republic With pigs roaming the streets and cows foraging in the Battery, antebellum Manhattan would have been unrecognizable to inhabitants of today’s sprawling metropolis. Fruits and vegetables came from small market gardens in the city, and manure piled high on streets and docks was gold to nearby farmers. But as Catherine McNeur reveals in this environmental history of Gotham, a battle to control the boundaries between city and country was already being waged, and the winners would take dramatic steps to outlaw New York’s wild side. “[A] fine book which make[s] a real contribution to urban biography.” —Joseph Rykwert, Times Literary Supplement “Tells an odd story in lively prose...The city McNeur depicts in Taming Manhattan is the pestiferous obverse of the belle epoque city of Henry James and Edith Wharton that sits comfortably in many imaginations...[Taming Manhattan] is a smart book that engages in the old fashioned business of trying to harvest lessons for the present from the past.” —Alexander Nazaryan, New York Times

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book represents a transformational experience presented in the form of a broad meditation upon a walking pilgrimage by an experienced designer on the Camino de Santiago. Tinted with a scholarly lens and a travelogue commentary on places and events during the journey, the work pursues a wider awareness of design purpose and perception based on immediate and past experience. The use of the word “pilgrimage” denotes the nature of the journey beyond mere physical effort and near an extraordinary spiritual and mental enterprise. The emphasis is on walking either physically or fi guratively as a means to the achievement of design knowledge that more fully informs, awakens, and utilizes the body and the senses to produce a superior design articulation. The journey took ten years in preparation with only three months in execution; however, it was not a search for “enlightenment” as much as it was led by a sincere desire to know and to see. To know fi rst hand the places and the people as well as to see the land up close in a manner of receiving a legacy of centuries of presence, culture, and testimony. Truly, to partake of the experience of thousands of other “pilgrims” across 10 centuries and understand their journeys not so much as just a walk of faith but also an enduring legacy that has had critical impact upon design practice. In this manner the design activity is seen more properly understood as a pilgrimage rather than an occupation or a classifi ed profession.. For organizational purposes the book consists of two major sections that complement one another and serve to clarify and amplify both text and testimony. Section One addresses issues of design interest in a holistic rather than a technical manner while Section Two presents a narrative of the experience that serves to place the journey in focus. The symbiotic engagement between the two sections results in a richer narrative of causality that affi rms purpose and consequence of journey. Many conclusions are left to the reader and no strict delimitation is made of discussion boundaries except for the centrality of truth and the guiding power of passion. Without a doubt, this book is about open and truthful personal quests and does not conform to overriding socio-political frameworks of dialogue. Insight is extracted from the author’s experience and scholarship across 40 plus years that results in an animated and challenging dialogue along with a vast and diverse bibliography with works of varied provenance that served to emphasize and support salient and outstanding concepts and ideas with bearing on the quest. The intention was not to produce a treatise or a guidebook but rather to express an experience and its consequences upon a person, a mind, and a spirit with benefi t to design.
