Come back to the 1950s and relive the dreams of 15 young boys who grew up playing baseball in Mount Vernon, New York. Hear them reminisce about what it was like 60 years ago living in a community where baseball was not just a sport but a way of life. Meet their dads and brothers who threw practices pitches after dinner and bought them their first mitts. Meet the mom who pulled her son out of kindergarten to watch a New York Giants game at the Polo Grounds on Ladies Day. Travel with them as they sang All I Have to Do Is Dream on the bus to away games. But most of all, hear how they became the A.B. Davis High School baseball team that won a championship in 1959.

American Culture Transformed

Dialing 9/11

By: Bruce Tucker,Priscilla Walton

The bombing of the Twin Towers in New York City on September 11, 2001, marked a major turning point in modern American culture. Priscilla Walton and Bruce Tucker examine critical moments in the aftermath of 9/11 – the Enron scandal, the trial of Martha Stewart, the capture and rescue of Jessica Lynch, the torture at Abu Ghraib prison, the widespread popularity of Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code and Tim LeHaye's "Left Behind" series, Michael Moore's movie Fahrenheit 9/11, and former president Ronald Reagan's funeral. The authors argue that commentators on the American scene abandoned complexity, seeking to reduce events to their simplest signification. They ask how the singularity of meaning came to dominate American cultural consciousness, and they seek to theorize the critical cultural and political movements of the post 9/11 period.

The Geography of Empire in English Literature, 1580-1745

By: Bruce McLeod

The Geography of Empire in English Literature, 1580-1745

By: Bruce McLeod

Between 1580 and 1745, a period that saw Edmund Spenser's journey to an unconquered Ireland and the Jacobite Rebellion, the first British Empire was established. The intervening years saw the cultural and material forces of colonialism pursue a fitful, often fanciful endeavour to secure space for this expansion. With the defeat of the Highland clans, what England in 1580 could only dream about had materialised: a coherent, socio-spatial system known as an empire. Taking the Atlantic world as its context, this ambitious 1999 book argues that England's culture during the seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries was saturated with a geographic imagination fed by the experiences and experiments of colonialism. Using theories of space and its production to ground his readings, Bruce McLeod skilfully explores how works by Edmund Spenser, John Milton, Aphra Behn, Mary Rowlandson, Daniel Defoe and Jonathan Swift imagine, interrogate and narrate the adventure and geography of empire.

The New American Economy

The Failure of Reaganomics and a New Way Forward

By: Bruce Bartlett

As a domestic policy advisor to Ronald Reagan, Bruce Bartlett was one of the originators of Reaganomics, the supply-side economic theory that conservatives have clung to for decades. In The New American Economy, Bartlett goes back to the economic roots that made Impostor a bestseller and abandons the conservative dogma in favor of a policy strongly based on what's worked in the past. Marshalling compelling history and economics, he explains how economic theories that may be perfectly valid at one moment in time under one set of circumstances tend to lose validity over time because they are misapplied under different circumstances. Bartlett makes a compelling, historically-based case for large tax increases, once anathema to him and his economic allies. In The New American Economy, Bartlett seeks to clarify a compelling and way forward for the American economy.

Mark Of The Scots - Cl

By: Duncan A. Bruce

Here is the first-ever celebration of all things—and all people—of Scottish descent. While relatively few in number, the Scots have certainly made their mark on the world: · More the seventy-five percent of all American presidents have had Scottish ancestors, although fewer than five percent of the American population is of Scottish descent. · Almost eleven percent of all the Nobel Prizes ever awarded have involved Scots and their descendants—even though fewer than one half percent of the people of the world can claim Scottish ancestry · At least five of the twelve astronauts who have walked on the moon were descended from Scots. Today there are almost 28 million people of Scottish ancestry in the world, over 12 million of whom reside in the United States, about 4 million in Canada, and about 5 million in Scotland. Scottish accomplishments throughout history in every field of endeavor—from science to the arts to politics and exploration—rival those of even the largest ethnic groups: · Scots have been significant in most of the major inventions of the past three centuries, including the steam engine, the telegraph, the telephone, radio, television, the computer, transistor, and the motion picture · People as diverse as Sir Isaac Newton, Charles de Gaulle, Katharine Hepburn, Winston Churchill, Elizabeth Taylor, Immanuel Kant, Sir Laurence Olivier, Elvis Presley, Edvard Grieg, John D. Rockefeller, and Ty Cobb could claim Scottish ancestry · Warsaw, Madrid, La Paz, and Stockholm have all had mayors of Scottish Descent. The Mark of the Scots contains thousands of facts and is fully annotated. It is a comprehensive and readable book that deserves a place on the shelve of every genealogist, Scottish-American, and history buff.

Work

By: Bruce Pietrykowski

Much of our life involves working, preparing for work, searching for work, or thinking and worrying about work. Whether paid or unpaid, free or coerced, full-time, part-time, or zero-hours, work defines us and helps shape our behavior both on and off the job. In this accessible book, leading labor economist Bruce Pietrykowski offers a highly engaging exploration of the history and contemporary organization of work under capitalism. His clear presentation of the theoretical debates is illustrated by real-world examples from across the globe and a skillful account of alternatives that point toward a post-capitalist future. Employing a progressive, worker-centered vision that goes beyond mainstream economics, he examines themes ranging from inequality, care work, and the gig economy to technological change and a universal basic income. His analysis emphasizes power, conflict, solidarity, and cooperation, interpreted through the lenses of class, race, gender, and place. This comprehensive and highly readable book will be of interest to students of economics, sociology, labor studies, and politics seeking to learn more about work and workers in the global economy, as well as interested general readers.

Music, Body, and Desire in Medieval Culture

Hildegard of Bingen to Chaucer

By: Bruce W. Holsinger

Ranging chronologically from the twelfth to the fifteenth centuries and thematically from Latin to vernacular literary modes, this book challenges standard assumptions about the musical cultures and philosophies of the European Middle Ages. Engaging a wide range of premodern texts and contexts, the author argues that medieval music was quintessentially a practice of the flesh. It will be of compelling interest to historians of literature, music, religion, and sexuality, as well as scholars of cultural, gender, and queer studies.

Baseball Boys

Rediscovering 1950s Little League Baseball in Mount Vernon, NY

By: Bruce Fabricant

Those who have a longing for baseball nostalgia and remember playing Little League baseball in the 1950s will have a quite a time with Bruce Fabricant's Baseball Boys. More than six decades have passed since youngsters in Mount Vernon, New York donned baseball uniforms for the first time to play in the city's inaugural Little League season. The years disappear as Fabricant rediscovers the first 10 years of Little League baseball in his hometown beginning in 1950. He gives us all the history, a skillful reconstruction of each year bringing exciting pennant races alive. Every Mount Vernon youngster who played Little League ball then is in the book. We meet the league's founding fathers including Mount Vernon native Andy Karl, who set a National League record by pitching 167 innings in relief, a record that stood until 1974. Conversations with Mount Vernonites Ralph Branca and Ken Singleton reveal their experiences growing up on the city's baseball diamonds. Twenty-five men who played Little League ball in the '50s tell first-hand accounts, sometimes hilarious and sometimes tender, of their remembrances. More than 100 photographs capture Little Leaguers from that era. Baseball Boys also gives us the 10 all-time best of the best from that decade, surely a controversial list for any fan.
