Softcover. Condizione: Good. No Jacket. Where in Manhattan did George Washington sleep? Where was Teddy Roosevelt born? Where did James Monroe die? Where is the birthplace of the Twist? Where was Ponzi schemer Bernard Madoff 's multi-million-dollar penthouse? Where is the site of the country's first traffic fatality? These tidbits are among the more than2,000 fascinating entries in All Around the Town: Amazing Manhattan Facts and Curiosities, the definitive guide to historic New York. All Around the Town brings the city's history to life, street by street, building by building, in all its diversity. The entries, organized in an easy-to-use format by street address, were culled from a number of sources-histories, biographies, newspapers, guidebooks, and maps. They range from amusing anecdotes to familiar and not-so familiar historical events, from the Dutch New Amsterdam period to the present day. It is a truly unique guidebook for its historical viewpoint and will delight those looking for a glimpse of New York City beyond Madison Avenue and Broadway. The second edition has been revised and updated for a new millennium, reflecting a constantly changing city, and is supplemented with additional anecdotes and more than a hundred new pictures and illustrations. It is even easier to use, with cross-street information, a more portable trim size, and 300 new and updated places of interest.

Hardcover. Condizione: Like New. Condizione sovraccoperta: Like New. 1. What was the nature of justice in Italian Fascist society? Through the lens of the case of Luigia Paulovich, a legal appeal filed against the Prefect of Trieste in 1931, In the Name of Italy: Nation, Family, and Patriotism in a Fascist Court demonstrates the inconsistencies of the Fascist attack on traditional political liberties and the incomplete nature of Fascist legal reform. A compelling narrative of an elderly widow's successful challenge to the "italianization" of her surname, the book reveals institutional uncertainty, signs of underlying discontent, and legal opposition to Fascistization in the first decade of Mussolini's rule. It explores the world of Fascist justice in the halls of the Italian Administrative Court, highlighting the interplay of Italian law and the judiciary in the interpretation of Fascist expectations and the enforcement of Fascist policies against the backdrop of inherited cultural, political, and gendered beliefs. Fascist aims to create a "new" society clashed with conservative notions of family, church, and patriotism to affect the perception and practice of justice. Competing visions of nationalism from Italy's Adriatic borderlands, Dalmatia, and Rome show how the persistence of regional cultural and legal particularities impeded Fascist efforts to promote national standardization and enforce government centralization. Focusing on the proceedings of the case revealed in local documents and national court records, the account of the woman who pit Fascist officials against the national government engages legal scholars, historians, onomasticians, and theorists of Fascism, nationalism, and borderlands in debates over the nature of citizenship and the meanings of nationalism, patriotism, and justice. It explores Fascist legal reform and sheds light on the nature of Fascist authority, demonstrating the fragmentation of power, the constraints of dictatorship, and the limits of popular quiescence. The widow's triumph indicates that while Fascist dictatorship appeared in many guises, dissent adopted many masks.…

A defeat would have seriously set back and perhaps even destroyed his chances to gain the White House. Yet until A Rough Ride To Albany, no book has devoted itself primarily to describing that hard~fought uphill campaign, which he barely won, and only after a series of energetic 'whistle stop' tours in which he displayed for the first time an extraordinary power to stir audiences that has rarely been seen in American politics. The book also explains how Roosevelt had to balance his commitment to reform with the positions of New York's Republican leadership, which did not share many of his priorities. It thus provides lessons that are just as relevant today as they were more than one hundred years ago. Although Roosevelt is the book's dominating character, its pages are also filled with other absorbing personalities. Among them are silky Republican 'Easy Boss' Thomas Collier Platt, who disliked Roosevelt but for the party's good was forced to back him for Governor; passionate political reformer John Jay Chapman, who accused Roosevelt of backing out on his word by refusing to run as an independent after being assured the Republican nomination; Elihu Root, whose lawyer's skill saved Roosevelt's candidacy when his opponents discovered that he had failed to pay his New York taxes; and Richard Croker, the arrogant Democratic boss whose failure to back a sitting judge for refusing to appoint a Tammany Hall functionary to a court clerkship created such public revulsion that Roosevelt was able to capitalize on the incident to turn a likely defeat into victory. A Rough Ride To Albany is 'must' reading for anyone fascinated by the career of Theodore Roosevelt or by the details of a dramatic political campaign that helped set the course of twentieth century American history. …

Softcover. Condizione: Fine. Color illustrated softcovers. Fine. xvi+233 pp. with bibliographical notes, index. Illustrations. Much of the Revolutionary War was fought along the Hudson River; from 1775 to 1783, the rivers served as highway and battlefield as Washington and British General Sir George Clinton fought for control of this key waterway from Albany to New York City. The author tells the story of the War along the river from a unique vantage point---the remarkable , unprecedented event in naval history, the 5-year blockade of the Royal navy by means of one of the largest and longest iron chains ever forged. Protecting the river at West Point, it was a defensive structure the British chose never to test in battle.…
