Beschreibung

In "The History and Legends of Lenâpé," Daniel G. Brinton masterfully intertwines historical analysis with the rich tapestry of folklore and oral traditions of the Lenape people. This comprehensive work not only elucidates the social, political, and cultural dynamics of the Lenape tribe prior to European contact but also engages with the myths that shaped their worldview. Brinton's methodical narrative employs a blend of anthropological insight and linguistic scholarship, situating the Lenape within a broader historical framework that includes colonial interactions and the consequential transformations of their society. Daniel G. Brinton, a prominent 19th-century scholar and one of the earliest advocates for native rights, dedicated his life to the study of Indigenous American cultures. His extensive background in philology and anthropology, coupled with an empathetic understanding of Native American issues, drives this work's urgent and respectful portrayal of Lenape identity. Brinton's commitment to preserving Indigenous narratives reflects a broader intellectual movement of his time, as he sought to counteract the prevailing European-centric perspectives. This book is essential for anyone interested in Indigenous studies, American history, and the intersections of culture and conflict. Brinton's detailed research and respectful retelling of Lenape legends provide profound insights into their rich heritage. Readers will not only gain knowledge of Lenape history but also appreciate the depth of the human experience captured within these stories. It is a resonant call to understand and honor the legacies of the past.

    On July 18, 1924, a mob in Tehran killed U.S. foreign service officer Robert Whitney Imbrie. His violent death, the first political murder in the history of the service, outraged the American people. Though Imbrie’s loss briefly made him a cause célèbre, subsequent events quickly obscured his extraordinary life and career. 
    Susan M. Stein tells the story of a figure steeped in adventure and history. Imbrie rejected a legal career to volunteer as an ambulance driver during World War I and joined the State Department when the United States entered the war. Assigned to Russia, he witnessed the October Revolution, fled ahead of a Bolshevik arrest order, and continued to track communist activity in Turkey even as the country’s war of independence unfolded around him. His fateful assignment to Persia led to his death at age forty-one and set off political repercussions that cloud relations between the United States and Iran to this day. Drawing on a wealth of untapped materials, On Distant Service returns readers to an era when dash and diplomacy went hand-in-hand.

    The Anti-Federalists, in Herbert J. Storing’s view, are somewhat paradoxically entitled to be counted among the Founding Fathers and to share in the honor and study devoted to the founding. “If the foundations of the American polity was laid by the Federalists,” he writes, “the Anti-Federalist reservations echo through American history; and it is in the dialogue, not merely in the Federalist victory, that the country’s principles are to be discovered.” It was largely through their efforts, he reminds us, that the Constitution was so quickly amended to include a bill of rights.Storing here offers a brilliant introduction to the thought and principles of the Anti-Federalists as they were understood by themselves and by other men and women of their time. His comprehensive exposition restores to our understanding the Anti-Federalist share in the founding its effect on some of the enduring themes and tensions of American political life. The concern with big government and infringement of personal liberty one finds in the writings of these neglected Founders strikes a remarkably timely note.

    Resistance to malaria. Blue eyes. Lactose tolerance. What do all of these traits have in common? Every one of them has emerged in the last 10,000 years. 
     
     
     
    Scientists have long believed that the "great leap forward" that occurred some 40,000 to 50,000 years ago in Europe marked the end of significant biological evolution in humans. In this stunningly original account of our evolutionary history, top scholars Gregory Cochran and Henry Harpending reject this conventional wisdom and reveal that the human species has undergone a storm of genetic change much more recently. Human evolution in fact accelerated after civilization arose, they contend, and these ongoing changes have played a pivotal role in human history. They argue that biology explains the expansion of the Indo-Europeans, the European conquest of the Americas, and European Jews' rise to intellectual prominence. In each of these cases, the key was recent genetic change. 
     
     
     
    Cochran and Harpending's analysis demonstrates convincingly that human genetics have changed and can continue to change much more rapidly than scientists have previously believed. A provocative and fascinating new look at human evolution that turns conventional wisdom on its head, The 10,000 Year Explosion reveals the ongoing interplay between culture and biology in the making of the human race.
