Hardback. Condizione: Very Good. In 1985, newly elected North Carolina governor Jim Martin met with Tennessee governor Lamar Alexander, U.S. House Speaker Newt Gingrich and six other Republican leaders to map out a strategy for making the GOP competitive in state and local elections, particularly in the South. That the strategy this group developed has succeeded shows Martin's under-appreciated role as a catalyst for political change in North Carolina and beyond.
 This book chronicles the life and political career of Martin, North Carolina's first two-term Republican governor. Before his election to that job in 1984, Martin served 12 years in Congress and six years on the Mecklenburg County Commission. He began his professional career as a professor of chemistry at Davidson College. During his long political career, Martin often led the way in showing his fellow Republicans that political pragmatism could work hand-in-hand with fiscal conservatism. Along the way, his career has intersected with such notable figures as Richard Nixon, Jesse Helms, Jim Hunt, Ralph Nader, Ronald Reagan and Elizabeth Dole.
 In Catalyst, we follow Martin from his days in the 1960s as chairman of the first Republican-majority commission in North Carolina's most-populous county to his 2012 role in investigating scandals at the University of North Carolina.…

Paperback. Condizione: Good. How did Davy Crockett gain his legendary courage? What if Ichabod Crane's encounters with the supernatural were more than mere tales? In this enchanting sequel to the acclaimed Mountain Folk, award-winning author John Hood weaves a spellbinding tapestry of early American history and fantasy that reimagines the War of 1812 and the Trail of Tears through a magical lens. Following their triumph in the American Revolution, three extraordinary fairy rangers - Goran the sylph, Har the dwarf, and Dela the water maiden - find themselves facing new challenges in a growing nation. As America struggles to live up to its founding ideals, these magical defenders must forge alliances with legendary figures such as Davy Crockett, Johnny Appleseed, and the Cherokee hero Junaluska to combat sinister forces threatening peace on the frontier. Hood masterfully blends historical accuracy with fantastical elements, creating a narrative that makes early American history accessible and exciting for readers of all ages. From the beginnings of the abolitionist movement to the tragedy of the Trail of Tears, real historical events are enhanced by the presence of folklore creatures who witness - and influence - the shaping of a nation. Perfect for fans of both historical fiction and fantasy, Forest Folk continues the tradition of its predecessor, praised by The Mountain Times as the most engaging treatment of America's founding since John Jakes' American Bicentennial series. This unique blend of history and fantasy illuminates the human stories behind pivotal moments in American history while asking profound questions about justice, freedom, and the true meaning of courage. About the AuthorJohn Hood combines the meticulous research of a historian with the imaginative flair of a storyteller. As both a critically acclaimed author of political and economic histories and a passionate creator of speculative fiction, he brings a unique perspective to historical narrative. His work has appeared in prestigious publications including The Wall Street Journal, Reader's Digest, and National Review, while his syndicated column reaches readers across fifty North Carolina newspapers. Beyond his writing, Hood shares his knowledge as a public policy instructor at Duke University and a commentator for such media outlets as Fox News, NBC News, and National Public Radio. A previous book, Catalyst: Jim Martin and the Rise of North Carolina Republicans, earned recognition from the North Carolina Society of Historians. When not crafting historical fantasies or teaching graduate students, Hood can be found teaching tap dancing to young performers, bringing the same energy and creativity to the dance floor that he brings to his writing. He lives near Raleigh with his wife and three children, where he continues to explore the intersection of American history and folklore.…
