Sinopse

In "A Compilation of the Messages and Papers of the Presidents: John Quincy Adams," readers are presented with a meticulously curated collection of primary documents that illuminate the intricate political landscape of the early 19th century. This compilation encompasses Adams'Äô significant speeches, letters, and official documents that reflect his staunch advocacy for civil liberties, education, and foreign affairs. Literary in style yet rich in historical context, the work offers deep insights into Adams' philosophies and the evolving American identity during a tumultuous period marked by burgeoning nationalism and ideological conflict. John Quincy Adams, the sixth President of the United States, was not only a politician but also a diplomat, a Senator, and a fervent abolitionist. Growing up immersed in the revolutionary fervor of his father, John Adams, he was shaped by a legacy of public service and intellectual rigor. His diverse experiences, including his tenure as Minister to the Netherlands and Russia, informed his complex views on governance and human rights, making this compilation essential for understanding both his presidency and the era. This collection is highly recommended for students of American history and politics, as well as general readers seeking to grasp the foundational ideas that shaped the nation. It invites exploration into the mind of one of America'Äôs most dedicated public servants, illuminating the challenges and triumphs that marked the presidency of John Quincy Adams.

    The New York Times bestseller, praised as "hilariously funny . . . the only way to understand why so many Americans have decided to vote against their own economic and political interests" (Molly Ivins).**Unabridged for the first time with a new introduction**This program is read by the author. Hailed as "dazzlingly insightful and wonderfully sardonic" (Chicago Tribune), "very funny and very painful" (San Francisco Chronicle), and "in a different league from most political books" (The New York Observer), What's the Matter with Kansas? unravels the great political mystery of our day: Why do so many Americans vote against their economic and social interests? With his acclaimed wit and acuity, Thomas Frank answers the riddle by examining his home state, Kansas—a place once famous for its radicalism that now ranks among the nation's most eager participants in the culture wars. Charting what he calls the "thirty-year backlash"—the popular revolt against a supposedly liberal establishment—Frank reveals how conservatism, once a marker of class privilege, became the creed of millions of ordinary Americans.A brilliant analysis—and funny to boot—What's the Matter with Kansas? is a vivid portrait of an upside-down world where blue-collar patriots recite the Pledge while they strangle their life chances; where small farmers cast their votes for a Wall Street order that will eventually push them off their land; and where a group of frat boys, lawyers, and CEOs has managed to convince the country that it speaks on behalf of the People.A Macmillan Audio production from Metropolitan Books

    Oppressed and trodden on by her aunt and uncle, the Duke and Duchess of Bruntwick, who despise her because her father died in debt and her mother was French, Rocana Brunt yearns to escape the confines of their Bruntwick Castle. Yet when her dear cousin Lady Caroline is ordered much against her will to marry the imperious Marquis of Quorn, simply to extricate him from a potential scandal over one of his many liaisons, loyal Rocana agrees to take her cousin’s place at the altar so that Lady Caroline may elope with her beloved Patrick. At least she believes that this deception and the loveless marriage that would undoubtedly follow, might free then her from her virtual slavery. Her deceit is not revealed until long after the wedding, when she and the Marquis reach Paris and her cousin and Patrick are safely and ecstatically wed. And soon, through her own magic and some dangerous escapades, Rocana herself feels a glimmer of hope that she too is about to find eternal happiness in a true love of her own.
