Auteur: Candy Carson Ben Carson, MdUitgever: Penguin Putnam Inc, Engels , 1e druk , 9781591848042 , oktober 2015 , Hardcover , 246 pagina's, Samenvatting, Dear Reader, Many people have wondered why I've been speaking out on controversial issues for the last few years. They say I've never held political office. I'm not a constitutional scholar. I'm not even a lawyer. All I can say to that is €œGuilty as charged.€, It's true that I've never voted for a budget America could not afford. I've never raised anyone's taxes. And I've never promised a lobbyist anything in exchange for a donation. Luckily, none of that really matters. Our founding fathers didn't want a permanent governing class of professional politicians. They wanted a republic, in Lincoln's words, €œof the people, by the people, and for the people.€ A country where any farmer, small-business owner, manual laborer, or doctor could speak up and make a difference. I believe that making a difference starts with understanding our amazing founding document, the U.S. Constitution. And as someone who has performed brain surgery more than fifteen thousand times, I can assure you that the Constitution isn't brain surgery. The founders wrote it for ordinary men and women, in clear, precise, simple language. They intentionally made it short enough to read in a single sitting and to carry in your pocket. I wrote this book to encourage every citizen to read and think about the Constitution, and to help defend it from those who misinterpret and undermine it. In our age of political correctness it's especially important to defend the Bill of Rights, which guarantees our freedom to speak, bear arms, practice our religion, and much more. The Constitution isn't history€”it's about your life in America today. And defending it is about what kind of country our children and grandchildren will inherit. I hope you'll enjoy learning about the fascinating ways that the founders established the greatest democracy in history€”and the ways that recent presidents, congresses, and courts have threatened that democracy. As the Preamble says, the purpose of the Constitution is to create a more perfect union. My goal is to empower you to help protect that union and secure the blessings of liberty. Sincerely, Ben Carson

Dit is het verhaal van de slag om Beecher Island, die de geest en het gevaar van het vroege Amerikaanse Westen oproept, waarbij een in de minderheid zijnde patrouille van het Amerikaanse leger het opneemt tegen zeshonderd inheemse krijgers, waar heldhaftigheid aan beide kanten van het conflict de essentiële thema's van spelen op de Amerikaanse grens. In september 1868 worstelde het onderbemande Amerikaanse leger om aanvallen van Cheyenne- en Sioux-krijgers tegen de Kansas-nederzettingen, de postkoetsroutes en de transcontinentale spoorweg aan te pakken. Generaal Sheridan huurde vijftig grenswachters en verkenners in om zijn beperkte strijdkrachten aan te vullen. Hij plaatste ze onder het bevel van majoor George Forsyth en luitenant Frederick Beecher. Beide mannen waren legerofficieren en veteranen uit de burgeroorlog met uitstekende records. Hun orders waren om de plunderaars van Cheyenne te vinden en, indien mogelijk, aan te vallen. Hun patrouille verliet Fort Wallace, de meest westelijke post in Kansas, en ging in noordwestelijke richting naar Colorado. Na een week of zo verschillende paden te hebben gevolgd, waren ze aan de grens van hun voorraad - voor zowel mannen als paarden. Ze kampeerden langs de smalle Arikaree Fork van de Republikeinse rivier. In de vroege ochtend werden ze verrast en aangevallen door een leger van Cheyenne- en Sioux-krijgers. De verkenners haastten zich naar een klein, zandig eiland in de ondiepe rivier en groeven zich in. Uiteindelijk werden ze omsingeld door maar liefst zeshonderd krijgers, een tijdlang aangevoerd door de beroemde Cheyenne, Roman Nose. De gevechten duurden vier dagen. De helft van de verkenners werd gedood of gewond. De Cheyenne verloor negen krijgers, waaronder Roman Nose. Forsyth vroeg vrijwilligers om hulp te gaan zoeken. Twee paar mannen vertrokken 's nachts naar Fort Wallace, honderd mijl verderop. Ze waren te voet en wisten door de linies van Cheyenne te glippen. De rest van de verkenners hielden negen dagen stand op het eiland. Al hun paarden waren gedood. Hun eten was op en het vlees van de paarden was bedorven door de intense hitte van de vlakten. De gewonden leden aan een gebrek aan medische benodigdheden en ze stonden allemaal op de rand van de hongerdood toen ze werden gered door elementen van de tiende cavalerie, de beroemde Buffalo Soldiers. Hoewel de slag om Beecher Island een klein incident was in de geschiedenis van het westerse conflict, brengt het verhaal alle belangrijke elementen van de westelijke grens samen - met name de politieke en economische factoren die leidden tot de botsing met de inboorlingen en de culturele imperatieven dat motiveerde de Cheyenne, de blanke kolonisten en de reguliere soldaten, zowel blank als zwart. Meer fundamenteel is het een verhaal van menselijk heldendom dat wordt vertoond door krijgers aan beide kanten van het dramatische conflict
Auteur: James E. St. Clair Linda C. GuginCo-auteur: James E. St. Clair (Associate Professor of Journalism, Indiana University Southeast, USA) James E. St. ClairUitgever: The University Press Of Kentucky, Engels , 9780813122472 , mei 2002 , Hardcover , 408 pagina's, Samenvatting, Fred M. Vinson, the thirteenth Chief Justice of the United States, started his political career as a small-town Kentucky lawyer and rose to positions of power in all three branches of federal government. Born in Louisa, Kentucky, Vinson earned undergraduate and law degrees from Centre College in Danville. He served 12 years in the U.S. House of Representatives, where he achieved acclaim as a tax and fiscal expert. President Roosevelt appointed him to the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia and later named him to key executive-branch positions. President Truman appointed him Secretary of the Treasury and then Chief Justice. The Vinson court was embroiled in critical issues affecting racial discrimination and individual rights during the cold war. Chief Justice Fred M. Vinson of Kentucky: A Political Biography offers a wealth of insight into one of the most significant and highly regarded political figures to emerge from Kentucky.
The intimate, untold story of Winston Churchill's enduring yet volatile bond with his only son, RandolphWe think we know Winston Churchill: the bulldog grimace, the ever-present cigar, the wit and wisdom that led Great Britain through the Second World War. Yet away from the House of Commons and the Cabinet War Rooms, Churchill was a loving family man who doted on his children, none more so than Randolph, his only boy and Winston's anointed heir to the Churchill legacy.Randolph may have been born in his father's shadow, but his father, who had been neglected by his own parents, was determined to see him go far. For decades, throughout Winston's climb to greatness, father and son were inseparable--dining with Britain's elite, gossiping and swilling Champagne at high society parties, holidaying on the French Riviera, touring Prohibition-era America. Captivated by Winston's power, bravery, and charisma, Randolph worshipped his father, and Winston obsessed over his son's future. But their love was complex and combustible, complicated by money, class, and privilege, shaded with ambition, outsize expectations, resentments, and failures.Deeply researched and magnificently written, Churchill & Son is a revealing and surprising portrait of one of history's most celebrated figures.

Samenvatting
Daniel Kramer's classic Bob Dylan portfolio captures the artist's transformative big bang year of 1964-65. Over the course of a year and a day, Kramer's extraordinary access to Bob Dylan on tour, in concert, and backstage, allowed for one of the most mesmerizing photographic portfolios of any recording artist and a stunning document of Dylan breaking through to superstardom. Highlights include the Lincoln Center's Philharmonic Hall concert with Joan Baez; the Bringing It All Back Home recording sessions; and the now-famous concert at Forest Hills, when Dylan's controversial transition to electric guitar exemplified his constant, cryptic state of becoming. As much a document of a seminal period of rock 'n' roll history as of Dylan himself, the pictures also feature such compelling friends and collaborators as Joan Baez, Johnny Cash, Allen Ginsberg, and Albert Grossman. Bob Dylan: A Year and a Day presents a curated selection of nearly 200 images, including outtakes from the Bringing It All Back Home and Highway 61 Revisited album cover shoots. Previously published by TASCHEN as a signed Collector's Edition, this standard edition is the more affordable boon to any serious photography or Dylan fan. With stories throughout the book by Kramer, this is at once an intimate and evocative testament to a seminal photographer, to a particular point in time, and to an exceptional, mysterious artist at the moment his career went global. First published as a TASCHEN Collector's Edition, now available as an affordable, compact edition

Walter Benjamin (1892-1940) is een Duits-Joodse schrijver die in de jaren 1920-1930 enkele filosofische werken schreef, maar zich vooral profileerde als literair criticus. Voor zowel Hannah Arendt als Susan Sontag is hij een belangrijke en dierbare auteur. Arendt raakt in 1938 in Parijs met Benjamin bevriend. Sontag, een generatie jonger, beschouwt Benjamin als een van haar grote voorbeelden. Beiden hebben een essay aan hem gewijd. Die essays nemen in hun oeuvre een bijzondere plaats in, en worden nu voor het eerst in één uitgave samengebracht. De parelduiker Arendt tekent een portret van Benjamin vanuit drie gezichtspunten. Ze begint met een persoonlijke beschrijving, waarin onhandigheid en tegenspoed centraal staan. Vervolgens neemt ze meer afstand en schetst ze een tijdsbeeld: het milieu waaruit Benjamin kwam en de worsteling van de vooroorlogse Duits-Joodse intelligentsia met hun Joodse afkomst. In het laatste deel laat ze op eigenzinnige wijze zien hoe de verhouding tussen taal en traditie doorwerkt in Benjamins geschriften en werkt ze haar beroemd geworden karakterisering van Benjamin als parelduiker uit. De melancholicus Sontag begint haar essay met een beschrijving van drie portretfoto’s van Benjamin, en gaat dan dieper in op zijn melancholie. Benjamin verbond deze stemming met zijn geboorte ‘in het teken van Saturnus’. Sontag gaat een stap verder en vindt die melancholie overal in zijn werk terug. Voor velen is Benjamin een intrigerende, maar ook ongrijpbare auteur. Deze essays maken duidelijk waarom, zonder de diepgang van zijn persoon en zijn werk te versimpelen. Inleiding en vertaling: Remi Peeters en Dirk De Schutter Deel 2 in de serie Reflecties. Daarin verschijnen teksten die hedendaagse ontwikkelingen of dominante denkbeelden in een ander licht stelle

Crossing the road, we look both ways. Riding a bicycle at night, we use lights. So why is our attitude towards online security so relaxed? Edward Lucas reveals the ways in which cyberspace is not the secure zone we may hope, how passwords provide no significant obstacle to anyone intent on getting past them, and how anonymity is easily accessible to anyone - malign or benign - willing to take a little time covering their tracks. The internet was designed by a small group of computer scientists looking for a way to share information quickly. In the last twenty years it has expanded rapidly to become a global information superhighway, available to all comers, but also wide open to those seeking invisibility. This potential for anonymity means neither privacy nor secrecy are really possible for law-abiding corporations or citizens. As identities can be faked so easily the very foundations on which our political, legal and economic systems are based are vulnerable. Businesses, governments, national security organisations and even ordinary individuals are constantly at risk and with our ever increasing dependence on the internet and smart-phone technology this threat is unlikely to diminish - in fact, the target for cyber-criminals is expanding all the time. Not only does Cyberphobia lay bare the dangers of the internet, it also explores the most successful defensive cyber-strategies, options for tracking down transgressors and argues that we are moving into a post-digital age where once again face-to-face communication will be the only interaction that really matters.

Soon to be a major motion picture, this is the first€”and only€”definitive authorized account of Neil Armstrong, the man whose "one small step" changed history. When Apollo 11 touched down on the Moon's surface in 1969, the first man on the Moon became a legend. In First Man, author James R. Hansen explores the life of Neil Armstrong. Based on over fifty hours of interviews with the intensely private Armstrong, who also gave Hansen exclusive access to private documents and family sources, this "magnificent panorama of the second half of the American twentieth century" (Publishers Weekly, starred review) is an unparalleled biography of an American icon. In this "compelling and nuanced portrait" (Chicago Tribune) filled with revelations, Hansen vividly recreates Armstrong's career in flying, from his seventy-eight combat missions as a naval aviator flying over North Korea to his formative trans-atmospheric flights in the rocket-powered X-15 to his piloting Gemini VIII to the first-ever docking in space. For a pilot who cared more about flying to the Moon than he did about walking on it, Hansen asserts, Armstrong's storied vocation exacted a dear personal toll, paid in kind by his wife and children. For the near-fifty years since the Moon landing, rumors have swirled around Armstrong concerning his dreams of space travel, his religious beliefs, and his private life. A penetrating exploration of American hero worship, Hansen addresses the complex legacy of the First Man, as an astronaut and as an individual. "First Man burrows deep into Armstrong's past and present€¦What emerges is an earnest and brave man" (Houston Chronicle) who will forever be known as history's most famous space traveler.

The fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 ushered in a period of democratization and market reform extending across the East-Central European region, with one important exception: Belarus. Ironically, Belarus's fledgling attempts at democracy produced a leader who has suspended the post-Soviet constitution and its institutions and created a personal dictatorship. Located in the center of the European continent, Belarus lies at the crossroads of an expanded NATO and the Russian "near abroad." This fact underlines the importance of Belarus to European security and to East-West relations. To discuss developments in Belarus, an international group of scholars and policymakers gathered at Harvard University in 1999. The broad spectrum of issues covered is examined in this volume, providing an understanding of Belarus today and its prospects for the future. In addition to the editors, contributors include Timothy Colton, David Marples, Uladzimir Padhol, Rainer Lindner, Patricia Brukoff, Leonid Zlotnikov, Arkadii Moshes, Andrei Sannikov, Yuri Drakokhrust, Dmitri Furman, John Reppert, Astrid Sahm, Kirsten Westphal, Hrihoriy Perepelytsia, Algirdas Gricius, Agnieszka Magzdiak-Miszewska, Hans-Georg Wieck, Sherman Garnett, Elaine Conkievich, and Caryn Wilde.
