[Introduction To] New World Adams: Conversations With Contemporary West Indian Writers, Daryl Cumber Dance
[Introduction To] New World Adams: Conversations With Contemporary West Indian Writers, Daryl Cumber Dance
Bookshelf
In these interviews, held in the early 1980s, with twenty-two of the major writers of the English-speaking Caribbean, Daryl Dance brings together what is much more than just a valuable source book for readers of West Indian writing. The interviews are highly readable - by turns probing, combative and reflective and always absorbing. Daryl Dance brings to the interviews a rare breadth of knowledge and empathy with the work of the writers interviewed and the openly avowed insights of an African-American woman.
The writers interviewed include Michael Anthony, Louise Bennett, Jan Carew, Martin Carter and Denis Williams, Austin Clarke, Wilson …
[Introduction To] The Promise Of The New South: Life After Reconstruction, Edward L. Ayers
[Introduction To] The Promise Of The New South: Life After Reconstruction, Edward L. Ayers
Bookshelf
At a public picnic in the South in the 1890s, a young man paid five cents for his first chance to hear the revolutionary Edison talking machine. He eagerly listened as the soundman placed the needle down, only to find that through the tubes he held to his ears came the chilling sounds of a lynching. In this story, with its blend of new technology and old hatreds, genteel picnics and mob violence, Edward Ayers captures the history of the South in the years between Reconstruction and the turn of the century.

[Introduction To] The Speaker And The Budget: Leadership In The Post-Reform House Of Representatives, Daniel Palazzolo
[Introduction To] The Speaker And The Budget: Leadership In The Post-Reform House Of Representatives, Daniel Palazzolo
Bookshelf
One of the most important changes in Congress in decades was the extensive congressional reforms of the 1970s, which moved the congressional budget process into the focus of congressional policy-making and shifted decision-making away from committees. This overwhelming attention to the federal budget allowed party leaders to emerge as central decision makers. Palazzolo traces the changing nature of the Speaker of the House's role in the congressional budget process from the passage of the Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974 to the 100th Congress in 1988. In the early 1970s, the Speaker attended to primarily supportive and managerial tasks …

[Introduction To] Heidegger And The Earth: Essays In Environmental Philosophy, Ladelle Mcwhorter
Bookshelf
Though each essayist presents his or her thinking as it has arisen out of the texts of Martin Heidegger, as this brief overview surely makes clear, the thoughts a reader will encounter here are diverse and perhaps at points conflicting. However, the essayists' differences in many cases actually grow out of a common sense, namely, a sense of urgency born of the knowledge that for many regions of the earth and for many of the beings within them time is running out. The book itself, including its conflicting assertions, is the embodiment of a kind of anxiety and a kind …
