Sinopse

In "Traditions of Lancashire (Vol. 1 & 2)," John Roby meticulously captures the rich tapestry of folklore, customs, and oral histories that define Lancashire's unique cultural landscape. Through a blend of vivid storytelling and rigorous research, Roby navigates the region's myths and legends, presenting them in an engaging and accessible literary style. This compendium not only serves as a repository of local traditions but also contextualizes them within the broader spectrum of English cultural history, shedding light on the interplay between geography, identity, and folk narratives. John Roby, an influential figure in 19th-century literature, drew upon his extensive knowledge of local history and keen interest in folklore to compile this extensive work. His background in history and literature, coupled with his deep love for his native Lancashire, informed his approach to documenting these traditions. Roby's commitment to preserving the region's heritage is evident in his meticulous attention to detail and the affection with which he portrays local customs and tales. I recommend "Traditions of Lancashire" to scholars, historians, and anyone interested in the riveting intersection of folklore and community identity. This work not only enlightens readers about Lancashire's cultural beliefs but also invites them to appreciate the timelessness of oral traditions in shaping local ethos.

    Watergate: The Scandal That...

    Increasingly and mistakenly viewed as a single scandal within the United States government, what is commonly referred to as the Watergate scandal serves as an overarching term for a series of scandals beginning in 1971 and extending through 1974, although more than any other, it refers to the specific break-in at the Watergate Hotel and office complex in Washington, D.C. The crisis, originating in a secretive battle between the two major political parties, the Nixon White House’s paranoia, and the ensuing conflict concerning the release of confidential information to the public, induced senior government officials into committing crimes (most notoriously petty burglary) and coverups for the purposes of character assassination and inter-political espionage, and it ultimately resulted in the first and only resignation of a sitting American president, Richard Milhous Nixon. Watergate has since become so synonymous with scandal that “gate” is typically added to the end of words associated with scandals even today. 
    	In the wake of the seemingly peculiar burglary, gradual media and judicial pursuits of the thread of scandals led from one thing to another over the following years until it began to culminate with Congressional impeachment proceedings and a momentous showdown between the President and the Supreme Court over the release of presidential tapes, a moment in which Nixon seriously considered defying the Court and initiating a constitutional crisis. When he at last surrendered them, excerpts were blatantly missing, most famously an 18 minute stretch. Given the flurry of activities, it has only been in recent years that historians have gained a full measure of the nation’s perilous status during the intense battle between the various branches of the federal government, and the American public’s view of government in general took a decidedly negative turn.

    A detailed history of the Ku Klux Klan and an examination of its operations in the Midwest and its legacy in America today.“A sweeping portrayal of the ugly role of the Ku Klux Klan in the Heartland and its blot on American history. . . . This book burns.”―Dan Wakefield, author of New York in the Fifties and Going All the Way“Who is an American?” asked the Ku Klux Klan. It is a question that echoes as loudly today as it did in the early twentieth century. But who really joined the Klan? Were they “hillbillies, the Great Unteachables” as one journalist put it? It would be comforting to think so, but how then did they become one of the most powerful political forces in our nation’s history?In The Ku Klux Klan in the Heartland, renowned historian James H. Madison details the creation and reign of the infamous organization. Through the prism of their operations in Indiana and the Midwest, Madison explores the Klan's roots in respectable white protestant society. Convinced that America was heading in the wrong direction because of undesirable “un-American” elements, Klan members did not see themselves as bigoted racist extremists but as good Christian patriots joining proudly together in a righteous moral crusade.The Ku Klux Klan in the Heartland offers a detailed history of this powerful organization and examines how, through its use of intimidation, religious belief, and the ballot box, the ideals of Klan in the 1920s have on-going implications for America today.“By now, 100 years later, the story of the spell cast by the evil D.C. Stephenson over the good people of Indiana is familiar to anyone who knows the state's story. But that's not the whole story, says historian James H. Madison in his revelatory new book, The Ku Klux Klan in the Heartland. The whole story is even more uncomfortable.” —Nuvo“Hard to take in, but easy to read . . . The Ku Klux Klan in the Heartland, is a do-read. Madison's account of the Ku Klux Klan combines primary source material and original research with his clean, vivid and well researched writing. While lots of nonfiction by academics is, well, academic, Madison is monstrously absorbable.”―The Herald Times
