The Second Red Scare and the Unmaking of the New Deal Left

By: Landon R.Y. Storrs

The loyalty investigations triggered by the Red Scare of the 1940s and 1950s marginalised many talented women and men who had entered government service during the Great Depression seeking to promote social democracy as a means to economic reform. Their influence over New Deal policymaking and their alliances with progressive labour and consumer movements elicited a powerful reaction from conservatives, who accused them of being subversives. Landon Storrs draws on newly declassified records of the federal employee loyalty program--created in response to fears that Communists were infiltrating the U.S. government--to reveal how disloyalty charges were used to silence these New Dealers and discredit their policies. Because loyalty investigators rarely distinguished between Communists and other leftists, many noncommunist leftists were forced to leave government or deny their political views. Storrs finds that loyalty defendants were more numerous at higher ranks of the civil service than previously thought, and that many were women, or men with accomplished leftist wives. Uncovering a forceful left-feminist presence in the New Deal, she shows how opponents on the Right exploited popular hostility to powerful women and their "effeminate" spouses. The loyalty program not only destroyed many promising careers, it prohibited discussion of social democratic policy ideas in government circles, narrowing the scope of political discourse to this day. Through a gripping narrative based on remarkable new sources, Storrs demonstrates how the Second Red Scare undermined the reform potential of the New Deal and crippled the American welfare state."--Jacket.

The acquisition of territory in international law

With a new introduction by Marcelo G. Kohen

By: R. Y. Jennings

Originally published by Manchester University Press in 1963, this book is now regarded as a classic of international law literature. Jennings examines the major issues relating to the acquisition of territory in a stimulating and elegant manner, providing a sense of the critical relationship between law and politics on the international scene - vital if law is to be practiced and interpreted correctly. This reissue features a new introduction by Marcelo G. Kohen of the Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies, Geneva, contextualising the work and discussing its continued relevance to students of international law and international lawyers themselves. He is one of the leading experts on questions of acquisition of territory, having been involved in numerous territorial disputes before the International Court of Justice.

Civilizing Capitalism

The National Consumers' League, Women's Activism, and Labor Standards in the New Deal Era

By: Landon R. Y. Storrs

Offering fresh insights into the history of labor policy, the New Deal, feminism, and southern politics, Landon Storrs examines the New Deal era of the National Consumers' League, one of the most influential reform organizations of the early twentieth century. Founded in 1899 by affluent women concerned about the exploitation of women wage earners, the National Consumers' League used a strategy of "ethical consumption" to spark a successful movement for state laws to reduce hours and establish minimum wages for women. During the Great Depression, it campaigned to raise labor standards in the unregulated, non-union South, hoping to discourage the relocation of manufacturers to the region because of cheaper labor and to break the downward spiral of labor standards nationwide. Promoting regulation of men's labor as well as women's, the league shaped the National Recovery Administration codes and the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 but still battled the National Woman's Party, whose proposed equal rights amendment threatened sex-based labor laws. Using the National Consumers' League as a window on the nation's evolving reform tradition, Civilizing Capitalism explores what progressive feminists hoped for from the New Deal and why, despite significant victories, they ultimately were disappointed.

Driving Blindfolded

A Tormented Mind

By: Amy Ry

Driving Blindfolded carries the reader through thirty-five years of Amy’s experiences with Bipolar Illness. It follows the author’s countless euphoric manic escapades and sleep-filled deep depressions. Amy does not hold back in confessing her erratic thought process. She considers her brain to be fragile and conflicted. Missing one dose of five nightly medications or even a hopeful sunshine filled day can send Amy into mania. Many of the years recorded were chronicled from journals. A few haphazard vacations are also relived. The author’s poetry is recorded throughout. Driving Blindfolded may be suspenseful at times and sad at others. The reader will get an inside view of the writer’s brain and learn all of the demented visions, the anxiety, and the pure craziness of this never ending illness. Through the years Amy has managed working part time, volunteering at soup kitchens and shelters, raising a family, and staying married to her husband, Kraig. If you met Amy you would not know she suffers from mental illness.

A Gift of Life

Observations on Organ Transplantation

By: R.Y. Carne

In the past few years the transplantation of organs in man has received publicity unprecedented in medical history. The first heart grafts were covered by press, radio, and television on a scal~ equiva lent to the news of the outbreak of a major war. Unwarranted and extravagant optimism has been followed by bitter criticism. This has undermined public confidence in the medical profession and seriously impeded progress in an important endeavour aimed at reducing human suffering. This unfortunate situation has arisen from widespread ignorance amongst the public and the medical profession of the background, present achievements, and future potential of organ grafting. Short statements by experts, frequently misquoted or cut short by television interviewers, and misinformed derogatory pronouncements by prejudiced medically qualified men, with no knowledge of the field, have produced a sorry state of confusion. It is the purpose of this book to attempt to clarify organ transplantation. The principles of organ transplantation are common to all organs but I will confine most of the discussion to transplantation of four vital organs, namely the kidney, liver, heart, and lung.

The works and thoughts of Santiago Ramn y Cajal in a faithful rendition of the original Spanish version, with additional facts contained in the French translation, both of which are currently quoted around 200 times each year in the scientific literature. This is the only authorized English translation and makes use of uniform nomenclature according to contemporary scientific English. Most of the illustrations are reproductions of Cajal's original art work, with cross references to the figure numbers of the Spanish and French versions, while the taxonomic glossary uses current scientific names, and their colloquial English counterparts.

Knowledge Coupling

New Premises and New Tools for Medical Care and Education

By: Lawrence L. Weed

Knowledge Coupling discusses the premises upon which the coupling of knowledge to every action is based in the practice of medicine, as well as why these premises must change. In concrete terms, the volume explores the methods of structuring and using medical knowledge and medical records that enables implementation of new premises; it sets forth a specific approach to use of the computer. The work examines the new roles and skills that will be demanded of both patients and health care providers within the system based on these new premises. The author takes into account the broad implications of his philosophy for the social, economic, educational, and political structuring of the health care system.

Anti-Tritheist Dossier

By: R. Y. Ebied,A. van Roey,Lionel R. Wickham,Petrus (Callinicus, Patriarch of Antioch)

The authors provide us with the Syriac text together with a translation of part of the controversy between the patriarchs Peter and Damian from the end of the sixth century, over alleged tritheism with which Peter of Callinicum was charged by his Sobellianizing opponents. With the publication and translation of this dossier we have a window opened on the debates that developed between Chalcedonian and non-Chalcedonian churchmen and theologians. Illuminating accounts are offered of the life and writings of Peter of Callinicum, the anti-Tritheist dossier, and the Tritheist controversy up to 586 together with a brief summary of the Tritheist Doctrine and then an account of the controversy between Peter and Damian.

The River Cafe

By: Rose Gray,Ruth Rogers

The first RIVER CAFE COOK BOOK was a publishing phenomenon, winning both the Glenfiddich Food Book of the Year and the BCA Illustrated book of the Year awards. As well as the innovative, striking design of the book, the appeal also lies in the exquisite simplicity of its food. A sophisticated re-interpretation of the CUCINA RUSTICA or farmhouse cooking of northern Italy, the food of THE RIVER CAFE relies on good quality, fresh, seasonal produce. Ruth and Rose's direct, uncomplicated approach means that many of the dishes are strikingly simple - fish, meat and vegetables are chargrilled, pan-fried and baked - but all of them are vibrant with flavour. This new book retains the essential style of THE RIVER CAFE while reflecting the new directions Ruth and Rose's cooking has taken since their first book; meat is less prominent, for example, while vegetables and vegetarian cooking have become more important; new techniques, such as wood-roasting are featured, always with advice on how the results can be achieved in a domestic oven. With over 200 completely new recipes, illustrated and presented in an equally innovative way as in the first book, THE RIVER CAFE COOK BOOK 2 will be a must both for the many people who loved the first volume and for those who have yet to discover the delights of this delicious style
