Historic Acadia National Park, Catherine Schmitt Apr 2016

Historic Acadia National Park, Catherine Schmitt

Catherine Schmitt

Historic Acadia National Park is a collection of true stories about the natural and human history of Acadia National Park, including some new and unfamiliar tales of one of America’s most popular parks. For centuries, Acadia’s mountain summits, rocky shores, and wooded valleys have drawn native residents, explorers, settlers, scientists, and visitors in search of beauty and inspiration. These stories of Acadia–from its geologic origins, unique flora, and engaging wildlife to its close relationship with surrounding communities like Bar Harbor, Isle au Haut, and Winter Harbor–reveal how and why Acadia became the national treasure it is today. Historic Acadia National …

The 'Schemes' Of Piero De' Pazzi And The Conflict With The Medici (1461–2), Oren J. Margolis, Brian Maxson Oct 2015

The 'Schemes' Of Piero De' Pazzi And The Conflict With The Medici (1461–2), Oren J. Margolis, Brian Maxson

Brian J. Maxson

This article opens up an important but overlooked chapter in the political and diplomatic history of Florence, as well as that of fifteenth-century Franco-Italian relations more broadly. In late 1461, the city of Florence elected ambassadors to go to France to congratulate King Louis XI on his accession to the throne. Intended as a purely ceremonial mission, the Florentine diplomat Piero de' Pazzi ignored his commission and pursued policies that explicitly promoted French interests in Italy. By doing so, Piero sought to improve the standing of his own family, both domestically and abroad, at the expense of the Medici regime …

After Civic Humanism: Learning And Politics In Renaissance Italy, 1300-1600 Dec 2014

After Civic Humanism: Learning And Politics In Renaissance Italy, 1300-1600

Brian J. Maxson

The thirteen essays in this volume demonstrate the multiplicity of connections between learning and politics in Renaissance Italy. Some engage explicitly with Hans Baron's "civic humanism" thesis illustrating its continuing viability, but also stretching its application to prove the limitations of its original expression. Others move beyond Baron's thesis to examine the actual practice of various individuals and groups engaged in both political and learned activities in a variety of diverse settings. The collective impression of all the contributions is that of a complex, ever-shifting mosaic of learned enterprises in which the well-examined civic paradigm emerges as just one of …

The Humanist World Of Renaissance Florence, Brian J. Maxson Nov 2013

The Humanist World Of Renaissance Florence, Brian J. Maxson

Brian J. Maxson

This book offers a major contribution for understanding the spread and appeal of the humanist movement in Renaissance Florence. Investigating the connections between the individuals who were part of the humanist movement, Brian Jeffrey Maxson reconstructs the networks that bound them together. Overturning the problematic categorization of humanists as either professional or amateurs, a distinction based on economics and the production of original works in Latin, he offers a new way of understanding how the humanist movement could incorporate so many who were illiterate in Latin, but who nonetheless were responsible for an important intellectual and cultural paradigm shift. The …

Four Decades On: Vietnam, The United States, And The Legacies Of The Second Indochina War, Edwin A. Martini May 2013

Four Decades On: Vietnam, The United States, And The Legacies Of The Second Indochina War, Edwin A. Martini

Edwin A. Martini

In Four Decades On, historians, anthropologists, and literary critics examine the legacies of the Second Indochina War, or what most Americans call the Vietnam War, nearly forty years after the United States finally left Vietnam. They address matters such as the daunting tasks facing the Vietnamese at the war's end—including rebuilding a nation and consolidating a socialist revolution while fending off China and the Khmer Rouge—and "the Vietnam syndrome," the cynical, frustrated, and pessimistic sense that colored America's views of the rest of the world after its humiliating defeat in Vietnam. The contributors provide unexpected perspectives on Agent Orange, the …

Violent Masculinity: Ritual And Performance In Southern Lynchings, 1877-1939, Kristina Durocher Feb 2009

Violent Masculinity: Ritual And Performance In Southern Lynchings, 1877-1939, Kristina Durocher

Kristina DuRocher

This chapter explores the gender crisis for white males in the New South for white males who participated in ritualized violence as a method for temporarily restoring white masculinity. After the Civil War destabilized the patriarchy in which slavery was rooted, it became imperative for white men to find alternative ways to demonstrate effective manhood. Lynchings became a space where white Southerners defended white male supremacy in a public ritual of brutality against African American men.

Edge Of Empire, 1671-1716: Documents Of Michilimackinac (Copublication With Mackinac Island State Park Commission), Joseph Peyser

Jose Antonio Brandao

Few places were as important in the seventeenth-century European colonial New World as the pays d’en haut. This term means "upper country" and refers to the western Great Lakes (Huron, Michigan, and Superior) and the areas immediately north, south, and west of them. The region was significant because of its large Native American population, because it had an extensive riverine system needed for beaver populations—essential to the fur trade—and because it held the transportation key to westward expansion. 
     It was vital to the French, who controlled the region, to be on good terms with its peoples. To maintain good …
