Paperback. Condizione: New. First Trade Paper Edition. In A Call to Heroism, Peter Gibbon argues that the heroes we honor are the embodiment of the ideals that America was founded on: liberty, justice, and tolerance chief among them. Because the very concept of heroism has come under threat in our cynical media age, Gibbon belie…ves that we must forge a new understanding of what it means to be a hero to fortify our ideals as we engage our present challenges and face those that lay ahead. Gibbon examines the types of heroes that we have celebrated throughout our history, and along the way, he contemplates the meanings of seven monuments and artworks dedicated to heroes to examine what these places and things say about the America of their time-and what they mean for Americans today.Full of insight and inspiration, A Call to Heroism is a provocative look at a timeless subject that has never been more important.

"Now is a time of rejuvenated interest in heroes in America. In the past months we have come to a new appreciation of the heroes of our past - and a greater recognition of the heroic acts of those we have lost. But what are we to look for in heroes who walk among us today? And what are we to expect of our heroes as we prepare for the trials of an uncertain future? In A Call to Heroism, Peter H. Gibbon argues that heroic ideals are fundamental to the enterprise of American liberty and to the very fabric of our nation's culture. In tracing the evolution of our collective vision of greatness from the age of our founders to today's celebrity-obsessed media age, he concludes that although our reverence for these ideals may have eroded along the way, we now have a unique opportunity to forge a new understanding of what it means to be a hero, one that will fortify the next generation of American leaders as we engage the challenges that lie ahead. Gibbon believes that our multicultural society of dreamers and achievers can be brought together through cherishing the exemplary individuals of our history - men and women who have sacrificed for causes greater than themselves. These include not only traditional civic heroes - statesmen and warriors like George Washington - but also heroes of ideas and conscience: scientists and educators like Thomas Edison and Horace Mann, and religious leaders and civil rights activists like Martin Luther King Jr. and Lucretia Mott. As he surveys the lives, struggles, and accomplishments of these and other great individuals, he also contemplates the meanings of seven monuments and artworks dedicated to heroes, including the Hall of Fame for Great Americans, Jean-Antoine Houdon's bust of Benjamin Franklin, and Mount Rushmore, to examine what these memorials say about the America of their time - and what they mean for us today. Full of insight and inspiration, A Call to Heroism is a provocative look at a timeless subject that has never been more important." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps. "A Call to Heroism is an engaging and provocative discussion of the role of the hero in American life. Peter Gibbon's book should be lively fare for classrooms and board rooms throughout the country." - Arthur Schlesinger Jr. "A wonderfully suggestive and compelling book that tells of an important and civic moral and psychological matter with great clarity and thoughtfulness - a book that will help us think in new ways about our country's history and our own lives as citizens." - Robert Coles, Pulitzer Prize winning author of Lives of Moral Leadership. "This fine book is the perfect antidote to the recent tendency to dwell on the failings of exemplary men and women. With his vivid portrayals of heroes and heroines, Peter Gibbon reminds us that their very fallibility offers hope that we, too, may be able to transcend our limitations and make a difference in the world." - Mary Ann Glendon, author. "Gibbon had performed a valuable service in reminding us that real heroes are not the celebrities but those whose lives are devoted to the highest ideals of a society, binding us together as a people while elevating our efforts to nobler purpose." - Edward O. Wilson. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Peter H. Gibbon is a research associate at the Harvard University Graduate School of Education. Signed by Author(s).
