This is his now classic and irresistibly readable 'personal history' of America, guiding us through centuries of changing life in the US. Beginning with his own arrival in America as a graduate in the 1930s, Alistair Cooke goes on to write about the explorers who put their new-found land on the map, the pioneers who tamed the Wild West, the soldiers who fought for independence and the tycoons who built fortunes. From the Mayflower to the gold rush, the jazz age to Pearl Harbour, with portraits of figures as varied as Buffalo Bill, John D. Rockefeller and Martin Luther King, here is the American story in all its triumphs and failures, grandeurs and tragedies. It is the defining portrait of a nation." ; A tour of American life and history based on Cooke's television series on the nation's growth and development and illustrated with photographs, cartoons, prints, and paintings. ; wine-colored textured boards with beige spine in color photographic dustjacket ; VG/G.

Love, Mary Daniel. A report on the social, political, and spiritual changes for Catholic nuns in the US since Vatican II. It explores the experiences that marked these changes, their effects on the women, and the future suggested by the nature of the reforms. Lora Ann Quiñonez, CDP, an education program specialist for the U.S. Department of Education, is a member of the Sisters of Divine Providence community. Mary Daniel Turner, a member of the Sister of Notre Dame de Namur, was raised in Washington, DC where she was deeply influenced by her proximity to one of the centers of world power. Mary Daniel earned a bachelor degree in philosophy from Trinity University, a master in philosophy from Catholic University of America, and a master of arts in theology from St. Michael's Institute at the University of Toronto. Mary Daniel's service and influence has extended far beyond her own congregation. She was the national chair of the Sister Formation Conference and executive director of the Conference of Major Superior of Women, later to be called the Leadership Conference of Women Religious. She was involved in the founding of several organizations including: the Religious Formation Conference, the Association of Contemplative Sisters, the Center for the Study of Religious Life, Sisters Uniting, and the United States Catholic Mission Conference. During the past four decades, radical changes have occurred in the personal and corporate lives of Roman Catholic nuns in the United States; in their institutions and ministries; in their relations with laity, clergy, and hierarchy; and in their presence in the public sphere. In this book, Lora Ann Quinonez and Mary Daniel Turner explore this transformation: the experiences that marked these changes, their effects on the women, and the future suggested by the nature of the reforms. The movement for change picked up speed in the decade after Vatican Council II, which mandated the adaptation of religious communities to contemporary milieu. The impact of American culture on the sisters generated a struggle to reconcile American belonging and religious commitment into one identity. The Women's Movement caused a gradual awakening to the reality of gender as an element of personal and corporate identity. It made American nuns confront the structural questions that occur to awakened women and also confront the male Church hierarchy. This book is the first comprehensive analysis of the forces that directed the process by which American sisters have redefined themselves. Lora Ann Quinonez, CDP, an education program specialist for the U.S. Department of Education, is a member of the Sisters of Divine Providence community. Mary Daniel Turner, SNDdeN, a member of the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur community is co-director of Joseph House in Washington D.C.…
