Sinopse

"Charities and the Commons: The Pittsburgh Survey - The People" serves as a critical examination of early 20th-century urban social dynamics, encapsulated in a meticulous collection of essays and reports from various contributors to the Pittsburgh Survey. The work employs an interdisciplinary approach, intertwining sociology, economics, and social justice, as it offers an in-depth analysis of the challenges faced by the impoverished working class in industrial Pittsburgh. The literary style is both informative and evocative, drawing readers into the lived realities of the city's marginalized populations while maintaining a clear, analytical lens that reflects the progressive reformist spirit of its time. The authorship of this work is a collective of prominent sociologists and reformers, including notable figures like Jane Addams and Robert A. Woods, who were deeply influenced by the social upheavals of the Gilded Age. Their commitment to social reform and public welfare inspired them to document the pervasive social inequalities and to advocate for systemic changes. This historical context enhances the reader's understanding of the sociopolitical implications of the survey's findings, revealing a society grappling with industrialization's moral and ethical dilemmas. This book is an essential read for those interested in social reform, urban studies, and American history. It not only sheds light on the struggles of the past but also urges contemporary readers to critically engage with ongoing issues of inequality and social justice. Scholars and general readers alike will find themselves enriched by this foundational work that continues to resonate today.

    My Brother's Keeper tells the behind-the-scenes story of how the American president and the Israeli prime minister clashed about peace, war, and the future of the region. 
     
     
     
    Barack Obama and Benjamin Netanyahu viewed the world—and especially the Middle East—differently. The US president wanted to end what he saw as America's perpetual war against the Muslim and Arab worlds, use diplomacy to bring about a Palestinian state coexisting peacefully with Israel, and apply his signature foreign policy vision to reward the Islamic Republic of Iran in exchange for the scaling back of their nuclear pursuits. The Israeli premier wanted his country to thrive without the senseless bloodshed of terror and violence, and he was determined to protect the Jewish state from threats of annihilation by a member of the axis of evil that would one day be armed with nuclear weapons. Netanyahu wanted peace for peace, as well as the acceptance of Israel as a full-fledged part of the Middle East. In 2014, during a pivotal summer of terrorist violence, a war in Gaza, and the advancement of a nuclear deal with Iran, the two men clashed, threatening the US-Israeli strategic alliance and the future of the region. The Middle East would never be the same.

  • I Never Did Like Politics - How Fiorello La Guardia Became America's Mayor and Why He Still Matters - cover

    I Never Did Like Politics - How...

    Fiorello LaGuardia was one of the twentieth century's most colorful politicians—on the New York and national stage. He was also quintessentially American: the son of Italian immigrants, who rose in society through sheer will and chutzpah. Almost one hundred years later, America is once again grappling with issues that would have been familiar to the Little Flower, as he was affectionately known. It's time to bring back LaGuardia, argues historian and journalist Terry Golway, to remind us all what an effective municipal officer (as he preferred to call himself) can achieve . . .  
     
     
     
    Golway examines LaGuardia's extraordinary career through four essential qualities: As a patriot, a dissenter, a leader, and a statesman. He needed them all when he stood against the nativism, religious and racial bigotry, and reactionary economic policies of the 1920s, and again when he faced the realities of Depression-era New York and the rise of fascism at home and abroad in the 1930s. Just before World War II, the Roosevelt administration formally apologized to the Nazis when LaGuardia referred to Hitler as a "brown-shirted fanatic." 
     
     
     
    There was nobody quite like Fiorello LaGuardia. In this immensely listenable book, as entertaining as the man himself, Terry Golway captures the enduring appeal of one of America's greatest leaders.
