    Beginning with Woodrow Wilson and U.S. entry into World War I and closing with the Great Depression, The Perils of Prosperity traces the transformation of America from an agrarian, moralistic, isolationist nation into a liberal, industrialized power involved in foreign affairs in spite of itself.
     
    William E. Leuchtenburg’s lively yet balanced account of this hotly debated era in American history has been a standard text for many years. This substantial revision gives greater weight to the roles of women and minorities in the great changes of the era and adds new insights into literature, the arts, and technology in daily life. He has also updated the lists of important dates and resources for further reading.
     
    “This book gives us a rare opportunity to enjoy the matured interpretation of an American Historian who has returned to the story and seen how recent decades have added meaning and vividness to this epoch of our history.”—Daniel J. Boorstin, from the Preface

    The Aeneid - Virgil's Mythic...

    The Aeneid stands as one of the most influential literary works of the ancient world, a masterpiece that shaped Rome’s cultural and political identity. Written by the poet Virgil between 29 and 19 BCE, this epic tells the story of Aeneas, a Trojan hero destined to lay the foundations for what would become Rome. Blending myth, history, and divine intervention, Virgil crafted a narrative that not only honored Rome’s past but also justified its imperial destiny. Commissioned during the reign of Augustus, The Aeneid served as both a patriotic epic and a moral guide, emphasizing duty, sacrifice, and perseverance.  
      
    At its core, The Aeneid explores Rome’s divine origins through the trials and triumphs of Aeneas. His journey mirrors the struggles of Rome itself—facing adversity, enduring loss, and ultimately fulfilling a grand destiny. Unlike Homer’s heroes, Aeneas is driven by pietas, a sense of duty to the gods, his people, and his future nation. This concept of duty over personal desire defines him, setting him apart from figures like Achilles, who is ruled by rage, or Odysseus, who relies on cunning. Through Aeneas, Virgil presents an ideal Roman leader—one who sacrifices personal happiness for the greater good.  
      
    The themes of fate and duty play a central role in The Aeneid, reinforcing the idea that Rome’s supremacy was preordained by the gods. From the moment Aeneas flees Troy, his path is guided by prophecy. Though he faces obstacles—such as the wrath of Juno, the temptations of love, and the horrors of war—his unwavering commitment to his destiny ensures that he prevails. Virgil uses this theme to legitimize Augustus’ rule, portraying Rome’s rise as part of a divine plan rather than mere political ambition.

    A century ago, a typical US college campus was a sanctuary of privilege, with white men of means constituting nearly the entire student population. Today, half of US undergraduates live at or near the poverty line, and universities are more diverse than ever. But teaching and curricula have not caught up, resulting in stark inequities. Black and Hispanic students graduate at lower rates than their white and Asian counterparts, economically insecure and disabled students face persistent disadvantages, and in STEM disciplines gender imbalances remain the norm.One Classroom at a Time provides practical, research-based recommendations for educators who want to narrow such academic gaps. David Gooblar explains the psychological hardships facing many marginalized students and provides detailed remedies. This wide-ranging guide also offers advice for mitigating burdens of financial insecurity and designing classes that work for all students regardless of disabilities. The emphasis throughout is on helping instructors and administrators understand not just the principles of equitable pedagogy but also the reasoning. In the twenty-first century, college courses shouldn't be built for imaginary students of yesteryear. This book shows how we can tailor pedagogy to the students of today, so that all of them can secure the education and the success they deserve.
