Summary

In "A Compilation of the Messages and Papers of the Presidents: Andrew Johnson," a meticulously curated anthology, readers are presented with a rich tapestry of the political, social, and economic concerns faced by the nation during Johnson's tumultuous administration. This volume exemplifies a scholarly approach, employing a chronological framework to convey the complexities of post-Civil War America through Johnson's correspondences, proclamations, and policy decisions. The literary style oscillates between formal rhetoric and heartfelt appeals, capturing the essence of a nation in recovery while revealing the polarized landscape of the era. Andrew Johnson, serving as the 17th President of the United States following the assassination of Abraham Lincoln, was a crucial figure grappling with the monumental task of Reconstruction. Johnson's Southern roots and staunch belief in leniency toward the South influenced his governance and led to escalating tensions with Congress. His presidency, often regarded as contentious, reflects the struggles between varying ideologies surrounding the reintegration of Southern states and the rights of freedmen, which undoubtedly inspired this comprehensive compilation. This anthology is essential for scholars, historians, and enthusiasts of American political history. It not only provides primary sources that unveil the nuances of Johnson's policies but also serves as a vital resource for understanding the broader implications of his presidency on the trajectory of American democracy. Readers looking to grasp the complexities of this era will find in this compilation an invaluable guide and source of profound insights.

    With the publication of Essay on the Principle of Population and its projection of food shortages in the face of ballooning populations, British theorist Thomas Robert Malthus secured a leading role in modern political and economic thought. In this startling new interpretation, Deborah Valenze reveals how canonical readings of Malthus fail to acknowledge his narrow understanding of what constitutes food production. 
 
 
 
Valenze returns to the eighteenth-century contexts that generated his arguments, showing how Malthus mobilized a redemptive narrative of British historical development and dismissed the ways that people adapted to the challenges of subsistence needs. She uses history, anthropology, and food studies to redirect our attention to the margins of Malthus's essay, where activities such as hunting and gathering were rendered extraneous. She demonstrates how Malthus's omissions and his subsequent canonization provided a rationale for colonial imposition of British agricultural models, regardless of environmental diversity. 
 
 
 
By broadening our conception of human livelihoods, Valenze suggests pathways to resistance against the hegemony of Malthusian political economy. She invites us to imagine a world where monoculture is in retreat and the margins are recentered as spaces of experimentation, nimbleness, and human flourishing.

    This book documents the remarkable story of a Woman's Relief Corps (WRC) chapter in Beaufort, South Carolina. The WRC is a national organization established as an official auxiliary to the Grand Army of the Republic (GAR) in 1883. A Woman's Relief Corps post has existed in the city of Beaufort, South Carolina, in various forms since 1892 when GAR Post David Hunter No. 9 was established in the city, with statesman Robert Smalls selected as Post Commander in 1894. 
While much of the record of the early Beaufort WRC was passed on through the esteemed oral history tradition, in 2019 members commissioned a study with the purpose of ensuring their story would be documented in print form and told for many generations to come. That story intentionally centers African American women as lead agents of change and co-creators of the patriotic spirit, an important theme given the fact that historically the national WRC was primarily White-led, and in southern localities like Beaufort, completely segregated. 
Beyond the Corps' main purpose of documenting their lived experiences as WRC members, this story is compelling in the larger context as the nation contends with changing notions of its national identity and definitions of patriotism.

    From the wind-swept plains of Anshan to the terraced palaces of Persepolis, Founding an Empire follows how a cluster of royal ambitions became the ancient world’s most sophisticated superstate. Opening with Cyrus the Great’s audacious conquests and his radical politics of legitimacy—liberation, local autonomy, and measured mercy—the narrative moves through Cambyses II’s Egyptian campaign at the edge of the known world and into the turbulence of succession that nearly cracked the young empire. It culminates with Darius I’s disciplined counterrevolution: a reforming king who turned roads, taxes, languages, and law into a scalable system.
