Sinossi

A Compilation of the Messages and Papers of the Presidents: James Buchanan presents a comprehensive anthology of the political philosophy, policies, and significant events of Buchanan's presidency (1857-1861). Written in a formal, historical style, the collection emphasizes primary source documents that illuminate the challenges faced by Buchanan during a tumultuous pre-Civil War era. This compilation includes inaugural addresses, state of the union messages, and letters that provide valuable context about the nation'Äôs divisive issues, including slavery and states' rights. The literary style is characterized by its somber, reflective tone, accurately mirroring the weight of the decisions that would shape America'Äôs trajectory. James Buchanan, the 15th President of the United States, has often been critiqued for his perceived indecisiveness and ineffective leadership in the lead-up to the Civil War. His background as a lifelong politician, diplomat, and lawyer informs the breadth of his writings. Facing deepening national discord, Buchanan sought to maintain the Union while grappling with both internal strife and external pressures, elements that obviously energize his communications within this compilation. This book is recommended for historians, political science students, and anyone interested in the detailed study of American presidential history. Through Buchanan's own words, readers gain unique insights into the complexities of governance during one of America's most critical periods, making it an essential addition to any scholarly collection.

    How to Become Famous - Lost...

    It's hard to imagine our world without its stars and celebrity geniuses—they become a part of our culture and history, seeming permanent and preordained. But as Cass Sunstein shows in this startling book, that is far from the case. Focusing on both famous and forgotten (or simply overlooked) artists and luminaries in music, literature, business, science, politics, and other fields, he explores why some individuals become famous and others don't and offers a new understanding of the role of greatness, luck, and contingency in the achievement of fame. 
     
     
     
    First, Sunstein examines recent research—on informational cascades, power laws, network effects, and group polarization—to probe the question of how people become famous. He explores what ends up in the history books, in the great religious texts, and in the literary canon—and how that changes radically over time. He delves into the rich and entertaining stories of a diverse cast of famous characters, from John Keats, William Blake, and Jane Austen to Bob Dylan, Ayn Rand, and Stan Lee—as well as John, Paul, George, and Ringo. 
     
     
     
    How to Become Famous takes you on a fun, captivating, and at times profound journey that will forever change your perspective on the latest celebrity's "fifteen minutes," the nature of memory, success and failure in business, and our enduring fascination with fame.

    "Power, Pleasure, and Pain: A Study of Abuse Through Time" delves into the dark history of how sexual violence and abuse have been intertwined with power structures throughout history. From the libertine excesses of figures like the Marquis de Sade to the scandals of modern-day predators like Harvey Weinstein and R. Kelly, this book provides a compelling examination of how those in power have used their positions to exploit and control others. 
    Spanning centuries, this critical exploration looks at the societal, cultural, and institutional failures that have enabled abusers to operate with impunity. Sean Dupree uses both historical and contemporary examples to highlight the systemic nature of sexual violence, tracing its roots back to philosophical and psychological underpinnings of dominance and submission. 
    Whether dissecting the abuse of power in religious institutions, entertainment, or the workplace, this study leaves no stone unturned. "Power, Pleasure, and Pain" is a powerful reminder that, despite the progress made by movements like #MeToo, much work remains to be done in holding abusers accountable and supporting survivors of sexual violence.
