    Daily Lives of Civilians in Wartime Modern America: From the Indian Wars to the Vietnam War.

    David S. Heidler, "Daily Lives of Civilians in Wartime Modern America: From the Indian Wars to the Vietnam War".
    Publisher: Greenwood | ISBN: 0313335346 | 2007 edition | PDF | 216 Pages | 2.14 MB

    In post-Civil War America, civilians were ordinarily far-removed from the actual fighting. War brought about tremendous and far-reaching changes to America's society, politics, and economy nonetheless. Readers are offered detailed glimpses into the lives of ordinary folk struggling with the privations, shortages, and anxieties brought on by U.S. entry into war. They are also shown how they strove to turn changing times to their advantage, especially civically and economically, as minorities pressed for political inclusion and traders profited from government contracts and women took on well-paying skilled jobs in large numbers for the first time.

    Publisher: Potomac Books Inc. | ISBN: 1574887998 | 2005 edition | PDF | 282 Pages | 3.68 MB

    By mid-1944, the U.S. Army was facing a critical shortage of the most important commodity in any war, the common foot soldier. Higher-than-expected casualties during the liberation of France had forced the Army to comb its ranks for replacement infantrymen. Plucked in 1944 from the safety and privilege of the Army Specialized Training Program (the World War II version of the college deferment of the Vietnam years), twenty-two-year-old John Babcock suddenly found himself an infantry private headed to Europe. Raised in an upper-middle-class family, this sensitive and literate youth was thrust into a group of coarse, uneducated, and sometimes brutal draftees who were headed to the 78th Infantry Division as replacements.

    Publisher: Facts on File | ISBN: 0816061378 | 2006 edition | PDF | 112 Pages | 3.15 MB

    The transatlantic slave trade and the fugitive slave laws in the late 18th century led to a significant increase in the number of people seeking freedom. Runaway slaves were often aided in their escape by a growing network of people who saw slavery as morally reprehensible. This network, the Underground Railroad, was first organized in the 1830s and continued on through the Civil War, growing and evolving as owners hunted down runaways. The system eventually disappeared with the official end of slavery in the South after the Civil War. From the new set "Slavery in the Americas"…

    Publisher: Chelsea House Publications | ISBN: 0791055396 | 2000 edition | PDF | 64 Pages | 3.19 MB

    In the earliest years of America’s history as an independent nation, the country was unifi ed behind its leadership. George Washington was the unanimous choice as the nation’s fi rst president. His cabinet featured many men who had fi gured prominently in the Continental Congress and the American Revolution, men who had stood fi rmly united in the effort to win independence from Great Britain. This spirit of unity and common purpose would not last, however.

Drawing from interviews with key players, it charts the drama of tensions, debates and negotiations and provides a compelling inside account.

    Capital Sporting Grounds: A History of Stadium and Ballpark Construction in Washington.

    Publisher: McFarland | ISBN: 0786439564 | 2008 edition | PDF | 296 Pages | 3.81 MB

    Politics is nothing new to Washington, D.C., even in the arena marked with base paths and outfield grass. The stadium for the expansion Washington Nationals baseball team cost over $600 million and while opponents decried the waste of taxpayer money, supporters promised the stadium would stimulate economic development. Land swaps, closed-door deals, and valuable parking-lot strategies were as complex as any game plan employed on the diamond. The district's past stadiums, tracks and Olympics facilities are archived and described in this history, along with their political backdrops. The book features numerous drawings and photographs.

    Global Television: Co-Producing Culture.

    Barbara Selznick, "Global Television: Co-Producing Culture".
    Publisher: Temple University Press | ISBN: 1592135048 | 2008 edition | PDF | 224 Pages | 1.65 MB

    The face of television broadcasting is changing in ways that are both profound and subtle. "Global Television" uncovers the particular processes by which the international circulation of culture takes place, while addressing larger cultural issues such as identity formation. Focusing on how the process of internationally made programming such as "Highlander: The Series" and "The Odyssey" - amusingly dubbed "Europudding" and "commercial white bread" - are changing television into a transnational commodity, Barbara Selznick considers how this mode of production - as a means by which transnational television is created - has both economic rewards and cultural benefits as well as drawbacks.

    Lancelot: The Knight of the Cart.

    Chretien de Troyes,"Lancelot: The Knight of the Cart".
    Publisher: Yale University Press | ISBN: 0300071213 | 2007 edition | PDF | 254 Pages | 1.45 MB

    The romantic poems of 12th-century French poet Chretien de Troyes were of immense influence across Europe - widely imitated, translated, and adapted. Giving rise to a tradition of story-telling that continues to this day, the poems established the shape of the nascent Arthurian legend. In this translation of "Lancelot", Burton Raffel brings to English language readers the fourth of Chretien's five surviving romantic Arthurian poems. This poem was the first to introduce Lancelot as an important figure in the King Arthur legend. "Lancelot" tells of the adulterous relationship between the knight and his mistress, Guinevere, the wife of King Arthur.

    Feminism, Sexuality, and Politics: Essays by Estelle B. Freedman (Gender and American Culture)
    Estelle B. Freedman | ISBN: 0807830313 | PDF | 270 pages | 2006 | 6 MB

    One of a small group of feminist pioneers in the historical profession, Freedman in the past thirty years has produced a body of work in which scholarship and politics have never been mutually exclusive. This collection brings together eleven essays–eight previously published and three new–that document the evolving relationship between academic feminism and political feminism as Freedman has studied and lived it. Underlying the collection is an inquiry into the changing meanings of gender, sexuality, and politics during the 19th and 20th centuries along with a concern for applying the insights of women's history broadly, from the classroom to the courthouse.

    Reading Between the Signs: Intercultural Communication for Sign Language Interpreters 2nd Edition
    Anna Mindess, Thomas K. Holcomb | ISBN: 1931930260 | PDF | 313 pages | 2006 | 5 MB

    Mindess's first book helps the professional sign language interpreter provide more effective service through an understanding of deaf culture and cross-cultural communication. Mindess, herself a veteran interpreter, introduces the main concepts of intercultural communication in the first half of her work, drawing on examples from anthropology, linguistics, and related fields. She highlights differences between hearing culture and deaf culture in America that can compromise clarity in translation situations. Finally, Mindess explores the responsibilities of translators and their primary role as mediators, recognizing that American Sign Language (ASL) translators raised outside deaf culture must learn its nuances to maintain professional quality. In comparison, Melanie Metzger's more research-oriented Sign Language Interpreting: Deconstructing the Myth of Neutrality (Gallaudet Univ., 1999) reveals how interpreters influence a translation interaction. Although less academic in nature, Mindess's book is a better resource for the interpreter and is recommended for large public libraries and appropriate educational and professional settings
