Mr. Jefferson's Lost Cause

Land, Farmers, Slavery, and the Louisiana Purchase

AvKennedy

Thomas Jefferson advocated a republic of small farmers--free and independent yeomen. And yet as president he presided over a massive expansion of the slaveholding plantation system, particularly with the Louisiana Purchase, squeezing the yeomanry to the fringes and to less desirable farmland. Now Roger G. Kennedy conducts an eye-opening examination of the gap between Jefferson's stated aspirations and what actually happened.Kennedy reveals howthe Louisiana Purchase had a major impact on land use and the growth of slavery. He examines the great financial interests (such as the powerful land companies that speculated in new territories andthe British textile interests) that beat down slavery's many opponents in the South itself (Native Americans, African Americans, Appalachian farmers, and conscientious opponents of slavery). He describes how slaveholders' cash crops--first tobacco, then cotton--sickened the soil and how the planters moved from one desolated tract to the next. Soon the dominant culture of the entire region--from Maryland to Florida, from Carolina to Texas--was that of owners and slaves producing staple crops forinternational markets. The earth itself was impoverished, in many places beyond redemption.None of this, Kennedy argues, was inevitable. He focuses on the character, ideas, andambitions of Thomas Jefferson to show how he and other Southerners struggled with the moral dilemmas presented by the presence of Indian farmers on land they coveted, by the enslavement of their workforce, by the betrayal of their stated hopes, and by the manifest damage being done to the earth itself. Jefferson emerges as a tragic figure in a tragic period.Mr. Jefferson's Lost Cause was a CHOICE Outstanding Academic Title for 2003.

Portrait of Walton

William Walton's place in 20th-century music cannot easily be decided only a few years after his death. Regarded in his youth as an experimentalist and then hailed as Elgar's successor, he was increasingly 'written off' by some critics for repeating himself and for failing to fulfil the promise of his early masterpieces. He was displaced by Britten and later by Tippett. Yet he had champions among international conductors and soloists and his works retained their popularity with audiences. From Michael Kennedy's illuminating study Walton's personality emerges as complex and contradictory: appearing to deprecate himself, and to take life lightly, he was, in fact, profoundly conscientious and self-critical, easily hurt and depressed, prone to jealousy of others' achievements, and, at the end, frustrated by his creative impotence. But at the same time he was witty and generous, bore no grudges, and enjoyed the loyalty of a host of friends. Michael Kennedy draws on the composer's correspondence with influential figures of the day – among them Siegfried Sassoon, Benjamin Britten, Malcolm Arnold, and André Previn – and assesses Walton's life and music candidly and compassionately.

The Oxford Handbook of Rehabilitation Psychology

Rehabilitation psychology is one of the fastest growing fields in applied psychology and involves the application of psychological knowledge and skills to the understanding and treatment of individuals with physical disabilities. Rehabilitation psychologists aim to optimize outcomes in terms of health, independence, and daily functioning while also minimizing secondary health problems. The Oxford Handbook of Rehabilitation Psychology provides background and overview of the associated psychological processes and types of interventions that are critical in managing the consequences of disability and chronic disease. Psychological models and research have much to contribute to those working with the physical disabilities; this volume has a broad cognitive behavioral focus within the general banner of the biopsychosocial framework. The editor has successfully brought together contributions from a range of well-established and experienced researchers and practitioners from a wide variety of clinical and academic contexts. They highlight the critical psychological aspects, review applied interventions, and consider the wider conceptual, clinical and professional themes associated with disability and society.

Reinterpreting Exploration

The West in the World

Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar

Exploration was a central and perhaps defining aspect of the West's encounters with other peoples and lands. Rather than reproduce celebratory narratives of individual heroism and national glory, this volume focuses on exploration's instrumental role in shaping a European sense of exceptionalism and its iconic importance in defining the terms of cultural engagement with other peoples. In chapters offering broad geographic range, the contributors address many of the key themes of recent research on exploration, including exploration's contribution to European imperial expansion, Western scientific knowledge, Enlightenment ideas and practices, and metropolitan print culture. They reassess indigenous peoples' responses upon first contacts with European explorers, their involvement as intermediaries in the operations of expeditions, and the complications that their prior knowledge posed for European claims of discovery. Underscoring that exploration must be seen as a process of mediation between representation and reality, this book provides a fresh and accessible introduction to the ongoing reinterpretation of exploration's role in the making of the modern world.

The Handbook of Clinical Health Psychology provides a comprehensive overview of the practice of clinical health psychology. It is primarily a well-referenced but practical resource, which provides an authoritative, up-to-date guide to empirically validated psychological interventions in health care. Each contributor provides a conceptual synthesis of the area, and how key models are related to formulation, service delivery and research. The book also considers contextual issues and the importance of topics such as ageism and power, which may have an impact on how health psychology is delivered by practitioners, and experienced by recipients of services. It also seeks to provide a summary of evidence concerning crucial aspects in the delivery of care, such as adherence, rehabilitation and stress. The biopsychosocial model is the major theoretical model underpinning all contributions, but use is also made of other models. * Informative and practical: a guide to action * An authoritative, critical and evidence based synthesis of knowledge that will guide best practice * Easy-to-use format intended for practitioners who want to ensure their practice is state-of-the-art

¿Quieres que tu vida sea más fácil? Entonces compórtate como el pájaro enjaulado que eres y canta. Viví en una jaula de oro durante diez años, en el castillo de oro del rey Midas. Pero de la noche a la mañana, todo cambió.

Ahora soy la prisionera del ejército del Cuarto Reino, y no sé si saldré de esta de una pieza. Los soldados están preparados para dejarse la piel en el campo de batalla y estoy segura de que van a usarme como moneda de cambio, una moneda que apagará el fuego o avivará aún más las llamas de esta cruzada. Sin embargo, lo que más me aterra, lo que más me inquieta, no es la guerra, sino él, el comandante Decapitador. Es un hombre perverso y despiadado, y su crueldad no conoce límites. Pero yo sé la verdad, yo sé qué es en realidad. Es un ser feérico.

Traidores. Asesinos. Estuvieron a punto de destruir Orea y no les tembló el pulso cuando arrasaron el Séptimo Reino. Por sus venas fluye un poder mágico indescriptible y tiene unas púas afiladas y relucientes en la espalda, en los brazos. Pero su mirada…, su mirada es su rasgo más siniestro, más intimidatorio. Cuando Decapitador me observa con esos ojos negros y penetrantes, siento que me atrapa, que me apresa, pero en un sentido totalmente distinto. Tal vez esté fuera de mi jaula, pero no soy libre. En este juego de monarcas y ejércitos, no soy más que un peón dorado. La pregunta es: ¿seré capaz de sobrevivir a la partida?

Destello es la fascinante segunda entrega de la serie de La prisionera de oro, una historia ambientada en un mundo fantástico que mezcla romance, intriga y aventuras. Vuelve a adentrarte en el irresistible mundo mágico inspirado por la leyenda del rey Midas y déjate deslumbrar por el maravilloso universo de Orea.
