Casa editrice: Classicus

Sinossi

H.A. Guerber’s The Story of the Great Republic offers a clear, engaging, and human-centered account of American history from the founding of the United States to the end of the 19th century. Written in a style accessible to younger readers and general audiences alike, Guerber presents the events, people, and ideals that shaped the early American republic with warmth and narrative ease. Her storytelling invites readers to see the past not as a list of dates, but as a living story filled with triumphs, struggles, and the constant effort to build a more unified nation.     Beginning with the framing of the Constitution and the presidency of George Washington, the book follows the growth of the United States through war, territorial expansion, social change, and civil conflict. Guerber recounts major events such as the War of 1812, the Louisiana Purchase, the Civil War, and Reconstruction, while introducing readers to the influential figures—from presidents and generals to reformers and everyday citizens—who helped define the American experience.     More than a historical summary, The Story of the Great Republic reflects on the principles that guided the country’s development: liberty, perseverance, justice, and unity. Guerber’s emphasis on character, citizenship, and moral purpose makes this a lasting introduction to American history, ideal for students, homeschoolers, and anyone seeking to understand the foundations of the United States in an approachable, story-driven way.

Little Women Podcast: Social...

Niina Niskanen, Emily Lau

Bound for Canaan - The...

Anonimo

An important book of epic scope on America's first racially integrated, religiously inspired movement for change. 
The true story of the Underground Railroad is much more morally complex and politically divisive than even the myths suggest. Against a backdrop of the country's westward expansion arose a clash of values that evolved into a fierce fight for nothing less than the country's soul. Beginning six decades before the Civil War, freedom-seeking blacks and courageous whites worked together to save tens of thousands of lives, often at the risk of great physical danger to themselves. Not since the American Revolution had the country engaged in an act of such vast and profound civil disobedience that not only challenged prevailing mores but also subverted federal law. 
Meticulously researched and uncommonly engaging, Bound for Canaan shows why it was the Underground Railroad and not the civil rights movement that gave birth to this country's first racially integrated, religiously inspired movement for social change.

American Disgust - Racism...

Matthew J. Wolf-Meyer

American Disgust shows how perceptions of disgust and fears of contamination are rooted in the country's history of colonialism and racism. Drawing on colonial, corporate, and medical archives, Matthew J. Wolf-Meyer argues that microbial medicine is closely entwined with changing cultural experiences of digestion, excrement, and disgust that are inextricably tied to the creation of whiteness. 
 
 
 
Ranging from nineteenth-century colonial encounters with Native people to John Harvey Kellogg's ideas around civilization and bowel movements to mid-twentieth-century diet and parenting advice books, Wolf-Meyer analyzes how embedded racist histories of digestion and disgust permeate contemporary debates around fecal microbial transplants and other bacteriotherapeutic treatments for gastrointestinal disease. 
 
 
 
At its core, American Disgust wrestles with how changing cultural notions of digestion—what goes into the body and what comes out of it—create and impose racial categories motivated by feelings of disgust rooted in American settler-colonial racism. It shows how disgust is a changing, yet fundamental, aspect of American subjectivity and that engaging with it—personally, politically, and theoretically—opens up possibilities for conceptualizing health at the individual, societal, and planetary levels.
