Sinopse

In "A New Conscience and an Ancient Evil," Jane Addams boldly confronts the persistent scourge of war and its moral implications in a rapidly changing society. Through a poignant blend of personal narrative, social critique, and philosophical inquiry, Addams unearths the complexities and contradictions inherent in human conscience as it grapples with the devastation wrought by conflict. Her literary style, characterized by its clarity and emotional resonance, situates the book within the Progressive Era's discourse on social reform, where she underscores the need for a collective moral awakening as a response to violence and injustice. Jane Addams, a pioneering social reformer and co-founder of Hull House, was deeply influenced by her experiences in urban Chicago, where she witnessed firsthand the consequences of industrialization and social disparity. Her profound commitment to social justice, pacifism, and feminism emerged from her pragmatic engagement with society's challenges, making her uniquely qualified to address the themes of conscience and morality in a time marked by two World Wars. Her insights reflect a lifetime of activism aimed at cultivating peace and understanding amidst societal turmoil. Readers seeking a profound examination of the moral dilemmas surrounding war will find "A New Conscience and an Ancient Evil" to be an essential text. Addams offers not only a critique but also a hopeful vision for a more compassionate world. Her profound insights remain pertinent today, inviting readers to reflect deeply on their roles as moral agents in a society still grappling with the consequences of violence.

    Leadership is often talked about—but rarely understood. 
    Extreme Leadership cuts through the jargon and theory to show what real leadership looks like under pressure. With clarity, edge, and real-world insight, Charles Patton delivers a direct, no-nonsense guide for those who want to lead—and get results. 
    Leadership isn't about titles, org charts, or abstract models. It's about stepping up when it counts, seeing what others miss, and taking action when others hesitate. Drawing from bold examples and practical lessons, this book explores how extreme leaders think, respond, and succeed—even in chaotic, high-stakes environments. 
    Written as a supplement to graduate-level courses but accessible to anyone with a stake in leading or following, this book challenges the idea that leadership is soft, outdated, or optional. It's not. It's essential. 
    If you want the things great people have, you must do the things great leaders do. This book shows you how.

    In this new edition, Samuel P. Hays expands the scope of his pioneering account of the ways in which Americans reacted to industrialism during its early years from 1885 to 1914. Hays now deepens his coverage of cultural transformations in a study well known for its concise treatment of political and economic movements.Hays draws on the vast knowledge of America’s urban and social history that has been developed over the last thirty-eight years to make the second edition an unusually well-rounded study. He enhances the original coverage of politics, labor, and business with new accounts of the growth of cities, the rise of modern values, cultural conflicts with Native Americans and foreign nations, and changing roles for women, African-Americans, education, religion, medicine, law, and leisure. The result is a tightly woven portrait of America in transition that underscores the effects of impersonal market forces and greater personal freedom on individuals and chronicles such changes as the rise of social inequality, shifting power, in the legal system, the expansion of the federal government, and the formation of the Populist, Progressive, and Socialist parties.
