University of Oklahoma Press, Norman: 2010. Hardcover with dustjacket. Brand new book. Convention has it that Irish immigrants in the nineteenth century confined themselves mainly to industrial cities of the East and Midwest. The truth is that Irish Catholics went everywhere in America and often had as much of a presence in the West as in the East. In Beyond the American Pale, David M. Emmons examines this multifaceted experience of westering Irish and, in doing so, offers a fresh and discerning account of America's westward expansion. "Irish in the West" is not a historical contradiction, but it is Ñ and was Ñ a historical problem. Irish Catholics were not supposed to be in the WestÑthat was where Protestant Americans went to reinvent themselves. For many of the same reasons that the spread of southern slavery was thought to profane the West, a Catholic presence there was thought to contradict it Ñ to contradict America's Protestant individualism and freedom. The Catholic Irish were condemned as the clannish, backward remnants of an old cultural world that Americans self-consciously sought to leave behind. The sons and daughters of Erin were not assimilated, and because they were not assimilable, they should be kept beyond the American pale. As Emmons amply demonstrates, however, western reality was far more complicated. Irish Catholicism may have outraged Protestant-inspired American republicanism, but Irish Catholics were a necessary component of America's equally Protestant-inspired foray into industrial capitalism. They were also necessary to the successive conquests of the "frontier," wherever it might be found. It was the Irish who helped build the railroads, dig the hard rocks, man the army posts, and do the other arduous, dangerous, and unattractive toiling required by an industrializing society. With vigor and panache, Emmons describes how the West was not so much won as continually contested and reshaped. He probes the self-fulfilling mythology of the American West, along with the far different mythology of the Irish pioneers. The product of three decades of research and thought, Beyond the American Pale is a masterful yet accessible recasting of American history, the culminating work of a singular thinker willing to take a wholly new perspective on the past. David M. Emmons is Professor Emeritus of History at the University of Montana, Missoula, and the author of The Butte Irish: Class and Ethnicity in an American Mining Town, 1875-1925. He now lives with his wife Caroline along Rattlesnake Creek just north of downtown Missoula, Montana, and 120 miles northwest and downstream of Butte, the capital of western America's "Irish Empire., University of Oklahoma Press, Norman: 2010, Gyan Books Pvt.

Various factors bearing on the Economics development, such as Political and administrative conditions, education, health, tribal and Urban development have highlighted by the author. With a total area of 82,700 sq. miles and a Population of 181/2 millions, Hyderabad formed one of the premier Native States of pre-Independent India. Of the four Subas or Revenue Divisions into which it was divided administratively, Warangal was one Forest and tribal Infested, and predominantly Telugu-speaking Districts of Warangal, Karimnagar and Adilabad. This was very much in the forefront in responding to the political, social and economic awakening and activity of the times. This work which is very much pioneering in its nature, and fully covers the comprehensive, significant and varied economic developments that donned the reign of the last and VII Nizan, Mir Osman Ali Khan, has, for the first time, fully explored and brought to light the Wealth of information that was contained in more than 10,000 Warangal Subedari Files of H.E.H. the Nizam`s Government Departments of Agriculture, Finance, Revenue, Supply, Industries, Rural Reconstruction and Social Welfare. The economic resources of the Region vis-Ã -vis the actual development that has been achieved over the period under study, the reasons for the much below average performance in all the key sectors and the resultant situation that has ultimately emerged, have all been examined at macro as well as micro level. The bearing on the economic development, of allied agencies such as political and administrative conditions, Education, Health, Tribal and Urabn Development has also been succinctly brought out in this comprehensively data-based and selectively Illustrated work.

Book Description Censorship of religious and philosophical speculation is as old as history and as current as today's headlines. Many of the world's major religious texts, including the Bible, the Talmud, the Koran, and others, have been suppressed, condemned, or proscribed at some time. Works of secular literature touching upon religious belief or reflecting dissenting views have also been suppressed. "Literature Suppressed on Religious Grounds, Revised Edition" profiles the censorship of many such essential works of civilization. The 14 entries new to this edition include extensive coverage of the "Harry Potter" series, which has been frequently banned in the United States on the grounds that it promotes witchcraft, as well as entries on two popular textbook series, "The Witches" by Roald Dahl, "Women Without Men: A Novel of Modern Iran", and more. Also included are updates to such entries as "The Satanic Verses" by Salman Rushdie and "On the Origin of Species" by Charles Darwin. New and updated entries include: "The Advancement of Learning" (Francis Bacon); "The Age of Reason" (Thomas Paine); "The Analects" (Confucius); The Bible; "The Bloudy Tenent of Persecution" (Roger Williams); "The Book of Common Prayer" (Thomas Cranmer); "Children of the Alley" (Naguib Mahfouz); "The Critique of Pure Reason" (Immanuel Kant); "Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems" (Galileo Galilei); "Discourse on Method" (Rene Descartes); "Don Quixote" (Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra); "The Harry Potter" series (J. K. Rowling); The Koran; "The Last Temptation of Christ" (Nikos Kazantzakis); "On the Origin of Species" (Charles Darwin); "Popol Vuh"; "The Red and the Black" (Stendhal); "The Satanic Verses" (Salman Rushdie); "Shivaji: Hindu King in Islamic India" (James W. Laine); "The Talmud"; "Voyages to the Moon and the Sun" (Savinien Cyrano de Bergerac); and, "Zhuan Falun: The Complete Teachings of Falun Gong" (Li Hongzhi). Editorial Reviews From Booklist Previously published in 1989, these four volumes provide a survey of more than 400 titles that have been subjected to censorship by school boards, governments, religious institutions, and other bodies. Within each volume, titles are arranged alphabetically, and entries include brief publishing information, a summary of the book's content, a censorship history, and a short list of further reading. Some 50 entries are new. The political volume has added 10 entries, among them Ha Jin's 1999 novel Waiting, denounced in China for portraying Chinese people as backward; the Chinese publication was canceled. The volume on religious grounds now has entries for five Harry Potter books. Fourteen entries, including one for Sari Says, an advice book for teens, have been added to the sexual grounds volume. Another 14 entries have been added to the social grounds volume, among them Marion Dane Bauer's Am I Blue? and Francesca Lia Block's Baby Be-Bop. Each volume in the set concludes with short author profiles, a bibliography, and a list of books discussed in the other volumes. Mary Ellen Quinn Copyright © American Library Association.

Dust jacket with edgewear. The author's world-view was shaped by progressivism -- he formed the Men's League for Women's Suffrage -- and his involvement in World War I, where he was injured at Gallipoli. This account, among the lengthy shelf of WWI -- the Great War -- is unique, inasmuch as Nevinson juxtaposes his personal experiences with famous scenes culled from history. Thus, being wounded at Gallipoli, he envisions the fall of Troy to the Achaeans; when in 1916 Greece retreated from Epirus, Nevinson writes of Cleopatra’s purple sails fleeing Actium. This copy belonged to Western writer Louis L'amour, and is signed by him on the front pastedown. As a young, struggling journalist, in Choctaw, OK, he wrote a review of this book — his byline reflects his name-change from LaMoore to “L’Amour”. L'Amour was so proud he carefully pasted the clipping on the FFEP. And for good reason — review is not just competent, but sharp. Dust jacket now preserved in a removable, archival sleeve.

He had also made it his purpose to find a white doctor who would be unselfish enough to join him in his work for his backward people. He knew what to expect in England; he knew that while there is no colour bar in the official sense, prejudice runs deep, and even the more enlightened members of society may have difficulty in concealing their embarrassment at the sight of a black skin. The reactions of the other lodgers to him at Glebelands, a guesthouse on the outskirts of the North Country city of North Hambridge, depended on their personalities, while the unspoken challenge and the invisible barrier created by his presence found out their weakest and their strongest points. The humanity of the coloured doctor was to make a deep impression on the lives of all those with whom he came into contact during his search, but misunderstanding led to tragedy and a violent climax."

Book Description Censorship of religious and philosophical speculation is as old as history and as current as today's headlines. Many of the world's major religious texts, including the Bible, the Talmud, the Koran, and others, have been suppressed, condemned, or proscribed at some time. Works of secular literature touching upon religious belief or reflecting dissenting views have also been suppressed. "Literature Suppressed on Religious Grounds, Revised Edition" profiles the censorship of many such essential works of civilization. The 14 entries new to this edition include extensive coverage of the "Harry Potter" series, which has been frequently banned in the United States on the grounds that it promotes witchcraft, as well as entries on two popular textbook series, "The Witches" by Roald Dahl, "Women Without Men: A Novel of Modern Iran", and more. Also included are updates to such entries as "The Satanic Verses" by Salman Rushdie and "On the Origin of Species" by Charles Darwin. New and updated entries include: "The Advancement of Learning" (Francis Bacon); "The Age of Reason" (Thomas Paine); "The Analects" (Confucius); The Bible; "The Bloudy Tenent of Persecution" (Roger Williams); "The Book of Common Prayer" (Thomas Cranmer); "Children of the Alley" (Naguib Mahfouz); "The Critique of Pure Reason" (Immanuel Kant); "Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems" (Galileo Galilei); "Discourse on Method" (Rene Descartes); "Don Quixote" (Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra); "The Harry Potter" series (J. K. Rowling); The Koran; "The Last Temptation of Christ" (Nikos Kazantzakis); "On the Origin of Species" (Charles Darwin); "Popol Vuh"; "The Red and the Black" (Stendhal); "The Satanic Verses" (Salman Rushdie); "Shivaji: Hindu King in Islamic India" (James W. Laine); "The Talmud"; "Voyages to the Moon and the Sun" (Savinien Cyrano de Bergerac); and, "Zhuan Falun: The Complete Teachings of Falun Gong" (Li Hongzhi). Editorial Reviews From Booklist Previously published in 1989, these four volumes provide a survey of more than 400 titles that have been subjected to censorship by school boards, governments, religious institutions, and other bodies. Within each volume, titles are arranged alphabetically, and entries include brief publishing information, a summary of the book's content, a censorship history, and a short list of further reading. Some 50 entries are new. The political volume has added 10 entries, among them Ha Jin's 1999 novel Waiting, denounced in China for portraying Chinese people as backward; the Chinese publication was canceled. The volume on religious grounds now has entries for five Harry Potter books. Fourteen entries, including one for Sari Says, an advice book for teens, have been added to the sexual grounds volume. Another 14 entries have been added to the social grounds volume, among them Marion Dane Bauer's Am I Blue? and Francesca Lia Block's Baby Be-Bop. Each volume in the set concludes with short author profiles, a bibliography, and a list of books discussed in the other volumes. Mary Ellen Quinn Copyright © American Library Association.

It is almost impossible for a modern" Hipster" or college student to see how alike they are to the young students of the Revolutionary war era. If Nathan Hale was in modern clothing any coffee shop he and his ideas would be completely at home. Here is a window backwards to a young man who deserves to keep being praised. He was it seems betrayed by a far rougher man, Robert Rogers, who was a hero in earlier times, but who was not trusted by George Washington and Revolutionary war patriots, and sadly for good reason.

Dust jacket with edgewear. The author's world-view was shaped by progressivism -- he formed the Men's League for Women's Suffrage -- and his involvement in World War I, where he was injured at Gallipoli. This account, among the lengthy shelf of WWI -- the Great War -- is unique, inasmuch as Nevinson juxtaposes his personal experiences with famous scenes culled from history. Thus, being wounded at Gallipoli, he envisions the fall of Troy to the Achaeans; when in 1916 Greece retreated from Epirus, Nevinson writes of Cleopatra’s purple sails fleeing Actium. This copy belonged to Western writer Louis L'amour, and is signed by him on the front pastedown. As a young, struggling journalist, in Choctaw, OK, he wrote a review of this book — his byline reflects his name-change from LaMoore to “L’Amour”. L'Amour was so proud he carefully pasted the clipping on the FFEP. And for good reason — review is not just competent, but sharp. Dust jacket now preserved in a removable, archival sleeve.

From the dustwrapper: "When Dr Ulaga Morris, the son of a tribal chief, left his clinic in Central Africa, his ostensible reason was to study plastic surgery. He had also made it his purpose to find a white doctor who would be unselfish enough to join him in his work for his backward people. He knew what to expect in England; he knew that while there is no colour bar in the official sense, prejudice runs deep, and even the more enlightened members of society may have difficulty in concealing their embarrassment at the sight of a black skin. The reactions of the other lodgers to him at Glebelands, a guesthouse on the outskirts of the North Country city of North Hambridge, depended on their personalities, while the unspoken challenge and the invisible barrier created by his presence found out their weakest and their strongest points. The humanity of the coloured doctor was to make a deep impression on the lives of all those with whom he came into contact during his search, but misunderstanding led to tragedy and a violent climax."
