Beschreibung

Vice Presidents History explores the evolution of the U.S. Vice Presidency, challenging the notion of it being a merely ceremonial role. It argues that the office has grown into a significant force in American governance, influenced by the individual holding the position, their relationship with the President, and the political climate. The book highlights intriguing facts, such as how some Vice Presidents, like Theodore Roosevelt, ascended to the presidency and dramatically reshaped national policy. Another key insight involves understanding how the Vice President serves as a vital link between the executive and legislative branches, impacting policy formation and legislative strategy. 

 
The book progresses chronologically and thematically, starting with the constitutional origins and early iterations of the office. It examines the tenures of various Vice Presidents across the 19th and 20th centuries, analyzing their roles in crisis management and their influence within presidential administrations. Modern Vice Presidencies are also explored, focusing on their advisory roles and policy initiatives. 

 
This historical survey incorporates primary source documents, scholarly biographies, and quantitative data to provide a comprehensive and nuanced understanding of the Vice Presidency, making it valuable for anyone interested in American politics and history.

PhD Phillip Thomas Tucker

Alexander Hamilton and the Battle of Yorktown, October 1781 is the first book in nearly two and a half centuries that has ever been devoted to the story of Alexander Hamilton's key contributions in winning the most decisive victory the of the American Revolutionary war at Yorktown.

Hamilton led the assault on strategic Redoubt Number Ten, located on the left flank of the British defensive line, and captured the defensive bastion—an accomplishment that ensured the defeat and surrender of Cornwallis's army that won the American Revolution and changed the course of world history.

Technologies of Human Rights...

James Dawes, Alexandra S. Moore

The speed of technological development, from cell phones to artificial intelligence, opens up exciting new opportunities for promoting human flourishing. It also raises grave risks, threatening not only personal privacy and dignity but also our collective survival. Technologies of Human Rights Representation brings together three fields of research critical to securing our future: changing technologies, human rights, and representation. For each of these fields, this book asks key questions: How can we open the black box of technological advances so that we can more fully understand their effects upon our lives? What can we do to make sure that these effects align with the values of human rights? And how does the way we talk about technology and rights—from military reports and corporate marketing to human rights reports and poetry—amplify or diminish our capacity both to understand and to control what happens next? Contributors from anthropology, communications, criminology, global studies, law, literary and cultural studies, and women and gender studies bring diverse methodological approaches to these crucial questions.
