Synopsis: In Americas Constitution, one of this eras most accomplished constitutional law scholars, Akhil Reed Amar, gives the first comprehensive account of one of the worlds great political texts. Incisive, entertaining, and occasionally controversial, this biography of Americas framing document explains not only what the Constitution says but also why the Constitution says it. We all know this much: the Constitution is neither immutable nor perfect. Amar shows us how the story of this one relatively compact document reflects the story of America more generally. (For example, much of the Constitution, including the glorious-sounding We the People, was lifted from existing American legal texts, including early state constitutions. ) In short, the Constitution was as much a product of its environment as it was a product of its individual creators inspired genius. Despite the Constitutions flaws, its role in guiding our republic has been nothing short of amazing. Skillfully placing the document in the context of late-eighteenth-century American politics, Americas Constitution explains, for instance, whether there is anything in the Constitution that is unamendable; the reason America adopted an electoral college; why a president must be at least thirty-five years old; and whyfor now, at leastonly those citizens who were born under the American flag can become president. From his unique perspective, Amar also gives us unconventional wisdom about the Constitution and its significance throughout the nations history. For one thing, we see that the Constitution has been far more democratic than is conventionally understood. Even though the document was drafted by white landholders, a remarkably large number of citizens (by the standards of 1787) were allowed to vote up or down on it, and the documents later amendments eventually extended the vote to virtually all Americans. We also learn that the Founders Constitution was far more slavocratic than many would acknowledge: the three fifths clause gave the South extra political clout for every slave it owned or acquired. As a result, slaveholding Virginians held the presidency all but four of the Republics first thirty-six years, and proslavery forces eventually came to dominate much of the federal government prior to Lincolns election. Ambitious, even-handed, eminently accessible, and often surprising, Americas Constitution is an indispensable work, bound to become a standard reference for any student of history and all citizens of the United States.

"A young man arrives in the big city with two hundred dollars in his pocket, no English at all, and memories of horror so fresh that he sometimes confuses past and present. When Deo first told me about his beginnings in New York, I had a simple thought: "I would not have survived." And then, two years later, he enrolls in an Ivy League university. How did this happen? Where did he find the strength, and how had he won the beneficence of strangers? How had it felt to be him?" - from Strength in What Remains, from the rear outer jacket. "Tracy Kidder, winner of the Pulitzer Prize and author of the bestsellers The Soul of a New Machine, House, and the enduring classic Mountains Beyond Mountains, has been described by the Baltimore Sun as the "master of the non-fiction narrative." In this new book, Kidder gives us the superb story of a hero for our time. Strength in What Remains is a wonderfully written, inspiring account of one man's remarkable American journey and of the ordinary people who helped him - a brilliant testament to the power of will and of second chances. Deo arrives in the United States from Burundi in search of a new life. Having survived civil war and genocide, plagued by horrific dreams, he lands at JFK airport with two hundred dollars, no English, and no contacts. He ekes out a precarious existence delivering groceries, living in Central Park, and learning English by reading dictionaries in bookstores. Then Deo begins to meet the strangers who will change his life, pointing him eventually in the direction of Columbia University, medical school, and a life devoted to healing. Kidder breaks new ground in telling this unforgettable story as he travels with Deo back over a turbulent life and in search of meaning and forgiveness. An extraordinary writer, Tracy Kidder once again shows us what it means to be fully human by telling a story about the heroism inherent in ordinary people, a story about a life based on hope." - from the inner front jacket flap. "The reporting is impeccable, but it's Kidder's great feat of sympathetic imagination that dazzles. Walk a mile in Deo's shoes; your world will be larger and darker for it." - William FInnegan, author. "Strength in What Remains is a tour de force. Inspiring. Moving. Gripping. Deo's story is remarkable - stunning, really. His journey is the story of our times, one that keeps the rest of us from forgetting. This book will stir the conscience and reaffirm your faith in the human spirit." - Alex Kotlowitz, author.

Softcover. Condizione: Fine. Softcover. Number 7 of a variable edition of 40 copies. Anne Beck and Michelle Wilson are two well-known book artists who work both independently and also collaboratively as The Rhinoceros Project. This engaging book from them arose from a visit to the Sirente Crater during an artist residency in Abruzzo, Italy in the summer of 2021. The text is excerpted from an Abruzzese folk tale of a new star falling to earth, as well as the Roman Emperor Constantine's account of his vision before the Battle of the Milvian Bridge. According to speculation, the Sirente meteor impact was the astrological event that Constantine witnessed as a sign from above, signaling the decline of paganism and the rise of Christianity (from the colophon). Production took place in San Francisco, Berkeley, and Oakland, as well as at their respective studios. Suminagashi, pochoir, and pressure printing form the imagery, along side handset metal type in Piranesi and Empire typefaces. The interior pages are made of fibers from "Broussonetia papyrifera, the cover from Cortaderia jubata, and its enclosure from Gossypium heraceum. All papers were handmade by the artists. In fine condition. Measures 4 x 6.25 inches. Unpaginated [14 pages] ARTB/011525.
