Casa editrice: Good Press

Sinossi

In "The Party Battles of the Jackson Period," Claude G. Bowers provides an incisive exploration of the political turbulence that characterized early 19th-century America. Employing a narrative style that weaves together meticulous historical analysis with vivid storytelling, Bowers scrutinizes the rise of the Democratic and Whig parties against the backdrop of Andrew Jackson's presidency. The book is deeply rooted in the context of its time, reflecting the social and economic tensions of a nation on the verge of transformation, and it illustrates how partisan conflicts shaped the political landscape and influenced public policy decisions. Claude G. Bowers was a prominent American historian and author known for his engaging narrative style and deep insights into American political history. His lived experience during a time of significant change and his keen understanding of the dynamics of partisanship provided him with unique perspectives that shaped his writing. Bowers's extensive research and critical analysis likely stemmed from a desire to contextualize the political divisions of his own era within the broader historical framework, offering readers a lens through which to understand contemporary issues. This book is an essential read for anyone interested in American history, particularly those keen to understand the historical roots of modern political divisions. Bowers's work not only sheds light on the controversies of the Jacksonian era but also provides valuable insights into the foundations of American democracy, making it a vital contribution to the study of political history.

Red Dead Redemption - History...

Esther Wright, John Wills

While the Western was dying a slow death across the cultural landscape, it was blazing back to life as a video game in the early twenty-first century. Rockstar Games' Red Dead franchise, beginning with Red Dead Revolver in 2004, has grown into one of the most critically acclaimed video game franchises of the twenty-first century. Red Dead Redemption: History, Myth, and Violence in the Video Game West offers a critical, interdisciplinary look at this cultural phenomenon at the intersection of game studies and American history. 
 
 
 
Drawing on game studies, western history, American studies, and cultural studies, the authors train a wide-ranging, deeply informed analytic perspective on the Red Dead franchise—from its earliest incarnation to the latest, Red Dead Redemption 2 (2018). Their intersecting chapters put the series in the context of American history, culture, and contemporary media, with inquiries into issues of authenticity, realism, the meaning of play and commercial promotion, and the relationship between the game and the wider cultural iterations of the classic Western. The contributors also delve into the role the series' development has played in recent debates around working conditions in the gaming industry and gaming culture.
