The Eisenhower Presidency - Leadership in a Time of Crisis

Pasquale De Marco

Sinopsis

Dwight D. Eisenhower was one of the most consequential presidents in American history. He led the country through a time of great change and turmoil, including the Cold War, the civil rights movement, and the Vietnam War.

Eisenhower was a pragmatist and a consensus builder. He was able to work with both Democrats and Republicans to pass landmark legislation, such as the Interstate Highway System and the National Defense Education Act. He also oversaw the end of the Korean War and the beginning of the space race.

However, Eisenhower's presidency was also a time of great turmoil. The Cold War continued to escalate, and the United States and the Soviet Union came close to nuclear war on several occasions. The civil rights movement also gained momentum during Eisenhower's presidency, and the country was deeply divided over the issue of race.

Despite the challenges he faced, Eisenhower remained a popular president throughout his two terms in office. He was known for his calm demeanor, his common sense approach to problems, and his ability to connect with people from all walks of life.

**In this book, we will explore Eisenhower's presidency in depth. We will examine his leadership style, his major accomplishments, and the challenges he faced. We will also discuss his legacy and how he is remembered today.**

This book is essential reading for anyone interested in American history, the Cold War, or the civil rights movement. It is also a valuable resource for anyone who wants to learn more about leadership in times of crisis.

**Praise for The Eisenhower Presidency:**

"A masterful account of Eisenhower's presidency. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in American history." - David M. Kennedy, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Freedom from Fear

"A superb biography of Eisenhower. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the life and career of one of America's greatest presidents." - Jean Edward Smith, author of Eisenhower in War and Peace

Exploring the Poles: The History...

Editors Charles River

Exploration of Earth’s wilderness areas became an international obsession in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, as economically advantaged nations, in particular European powers and the United States were well equipped to mount exhaustive expeditions. From previously inaccessible forests and jungle country to the world’s great mountain ranges, adventurers sought out the greatest extremes of climate and terrain in a race to plant the first flag where humanity struggled to survive. 
	An earlier wave of explorers led to the opening of the New World, and early polar expeditions saw ancient ships of various nations sail along the coastlines of Greenland and within reach of the Arctic and Antarctic continents. Many 19th century figures approached the polar region with an eye to traversing it. Most notable among them was British explorer Sir James Clark Ross, who took the Erebus and the HMS Terror to the southernmost coastlines of the planet. Ross is probably the first explorer to realize that Antarctica was a continent and not just a large chain of islands, and he discovered the section of the shelf that was to become the Victoria Barrier. Asian nations also took part in Antarctic exploration when Nobu Shirase of Japan mounted his 1911 expedition, while Sir Edgeworth David, a Welsh-Australian, was the first person to successfully reach the summit of Mt. Erebus. Richard Evelyn Byrd is believed to be the first pilot to cross the Antarctic continent, and even well past the era of great polar expeditions, British figures such as Edmund Hillary, conqueror of Mount Everest, made several expeditions to the South Pole. 
	Nevertheless, the golden age of polar exploration of the furthermost continents did not reach its zenith until the turn of the 20th century, and national rivalries abounded between the major seafaring nations of the world.

Soucy Jean-Yves

It is 1963, Jean-Yves Soucy is 18 and looking for a summer job. He dreams of being a fire warden scanning the boreal forest from a fire tower. But to his dismay he is sent to an equipment depot somewhere between Val-d’Or and Chibougamau in Northern Quebec. His disappointment vanishes when he learns that the depot is located near a Cree community and that he will have two Cree guides, including a man named William Saganash, and his work will involve canoeing through the lakes and rivers of the region. 
On each encounter with the Crees, on each of the long trips across water or through the bush, Jean-Yves expects to see a new world but realizes he’s meeting a different civilization, as different from his own as Chinese civilization. Yet he knows nothing about it. Nor does he understand the nature surrounding them as do his Cree guides, and friends. 
Jean-Yves Soucy wrote this story because Romeo Saganash, son of William, insisted: “You have to write that, Jean-Yves. About your relationship with my father and the others, how you saw the village. You got to see the end of an era.” 
He unfortunately passed away before completing it. However, in his poignant Afterword, Romeo Saganash provides a finishing touch to this story of an unlikely meeting of two worlds.

Mr Horniman's Walrus - Legacies...

Clare Paterson

Mr Horniman's Walrus tells the story of the rise and fall of three generations of a remarkable and dysfunctional Victorian family - the Hornimans - exploring the lives and loves behind their extraordinary and varied legacies. 
 
Family patriarch John Horniman established the tea company that bore his name in 1826, which went on to become one of the best-known brands of nineteenth-century Britain. His son Frederick created the eclectic and wonderful Horniman Museum in London, and his granddaughter Annie was a theatrical impresario responsible for founding Ireland's national theatre, the Abbey. Across more than a century, the family embodied changing middle-class attitudes from patriarchy to the new spirit of modernity; and their progress mirrored the high point of Victorian entrepreneurialism and the changes ushered in by the Edwardian age. 
 
Drawing on her years of research and unfettered access to the family archive, Clare Paterson has written a riveting tale of trade, collecting, the stage, sex and politics in Victorian Britain. For the first time, Mr Horniman's Walrus unpicks the lives of this fascinating family, including their slips from grace as well as their astounding achievements. It's a story of capital and culture, philanthropy and empire, but also bankruptcy, betrayal, intrigue, lunacy and deep involvement in the esoterica of the occult.
