A legendary professor at Louisiana State University, T. Harry Williams not only produced such acclaimed works as Lincoln and the Radicals, Lincoln and His Generals, and a biography of Huey Long that won both the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award, but he also mentored generations of students who became distinguished historians in their own right. In this collection, ten of those former students, along with one author greatly inspired by Williams's example, offer incisive essays that honor both Williams and his career-long dedication to sound, imaginative scholarship and broad historical inquiry. The opening and closing essays, fittingly enough, deal with Williams himself: a biographical sketch by Frank J. Wetta and a piece by Roger Spiller that place Williams in larger historical perspective among writers on Civil War generalship. The bulk of the book focuses on Robert E. Lee and a number of the commanders who served under him, starting with Charles Roland's seminal article 'The Generalship of Robert E. Lee,' the only one in the collection that has been previously published. Among the essays that follow Roland's are contributions by Brian Holden Reid on the ebb and flow of Lee's reputation, George C. Rable on Stonewall Jackson's deep religious commitment, A. Wilson Greene on P. G. T. Beauregard's role in the Petersburg Campaign, and William L. Richter on James Longstreet as postwar pariah. Together these gifted historians raise a host of penetrating and original questions about how we are to understand America's defining conflict in our own time - just as T. Harry Williams did in his. And by encompassing such varied subjects as military history, religion, and historiography, Lee and His Generals demonstrates once more what a fertile field Civil War scholarship remains. Lawrence Lee Hewitt is professor of history emeritus at Southeastern Louisiana University. Most recently, he and Arthur W. Bergeron, now deceased, coedited three volumes of essays under the collective title Confederate Generals in the Western Theater. Thomas E. Schott served for many years as a historian for the U.S. Air Force and U.S. Special Operations Command. He is the author of Alexander H. Stephens of Georgia: A Biography, which won both the Society of American Historians Award and the Jefferson Davis Award.|A legendary professor at Louisiana State University, T.

Die Gesundheitswissenschaften liefern die wissenschaftlichen Grundlagen für Gesundheitsförderung, Prävention und Gesundheitssystemgestaltung. Mit ihrer interdisziplinären Forschungs- und Handlungstradition trägt Public Health gestern wie heute maßgeblich zur Bewältigung zentraler gesellschaftspolitischer Herausforderungen bei. Die Schaffung und Erhaltung gesunder Lebenswelten und die Gewährleistung einer hochwertigen Versorgung im Krankheitsfall sind nur zwei der essentiellen Handlungsfelder. Nach einer ersten Blütezeit zu Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts und der Diskreditierung durch den Nationalsozialismus kehrte Public Health nach Jahrzehnten der Abwesenheit erst Ende der 1980er Jahre an die deutschen Universitäten und Fachhochschulen zurück. Die Wiederentdeckung und Neubelebung des Public-Health-Gedankens in Deutschland ist seither geprägt von einem sukzessiven Auf- und Ausbau, vom neuen Selbstverständnis einer aufstrebenden Wissenschaftsdisziplin. Ziel des Buchprojektes ist es, nach rund 20 Jahren, im kritischen Rückblick Erreichtes zu bilanzieren, eine Bestandsaufnahme gegenwärtiger Themenschwerpunkte vorzunehmen und einen Ausblick auf zukünftige Aufgaben in Forschung, Politik und Praxis der Gesundheitsversorgung zu geben.
