Some of today’s premier experts on Woodrow Wilson contribute to this new collection of essays about the former statesman, portraying him as a complex, even paradoxical president. Reconsidering Woodrow Wilson reveals a person who was at once an international idealist, a structural reformer of the nation’s economy, and a policy maker who was simultaneously accommodating, indifferent, resistant, and hostile to racial and gender reform. Wilson’s progressivism is discussed in chapters by biographer John Milton Cooper and historians Trygve Throntveit and W. Elliot Brownlee. Wilson’s philosophy about race and nation is taken up by Gary Gerstle, and his gender politics discussed by Victoria Bissel Brown. The seeds of Wilsonianism are considered in chapters by Mark T. Gilderhus on Wilson’s Latin American diplomacy and war; Geoffrey R. Stone on Wilson’s suppression of seditious speech; and Lloyd Ambrosius on entry into World War I. Emily S. Rosenberg and Frank Ninkovich explore the impact of Wilson’s internationalism on capitalism and diplomacy; Martin Walker sets out the echoes of Wilson’s themes in the cold war; and Anne-Marie Slaughter suggests how Wilson might view the promotion of liberal democracy today. These essays were originally written for a celebration of Wilson’s 150th birthday sponsored by the official national memorial to Wilson—the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars—in collaboration with the Woodrow Wilson House. That daylong symposium examined some of the most important and controversial areas of Wilson’s political life and presidency.

This volume shows us the development of a great American leader's political understanding and ideals.

Not a little strength of character underlay Mr. Van Buren s bland exterior, his conciliating manners, his air of sweet accommodation. He was also, in his way, a consummate master of men. He mastered them by insight, by intimate and friendly counsel, and by knowing the end he sought. But he did not rule or dominate by force of will. That slender little gentleman, always courteous, always placid, always ready to listen, and wait to have his way, could not hold or rule the imagination as the rugged veteran did who had preceded him from Chapter II: The Bank and the Treasury Before he served as the 28th President of the United States, from 1913 to 1921, before he won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1919, THOMAS WOODROW WILSON (1856 1924) was a lawyer and an academic: a university professor of history and politics, and president of Princeton University. It was during his tenure at Princeton that he penned this five-volume history of the United States, and it reflects many of the biases he later brought to national politics, from racial prejudice to anti-immigration attitudes. In Volume IV, Wilson discusses the Democratic revolution of the 1820s and 1830s, introduces us to the great figures of the day including Daniel Webster, Andrew Jackson, Martin Van Buren, Nathaniel Hawthorne, and many others and delves deep into the tumultuous years of the Civil War, when the United States faced the greatest threat to its existence. The appendix offers an illuminating parallel comparison of the U.S. Constitution with that of the Confederate States of America. This beautiful replica of the 1902 first edition features all the original halftone illustrations. Students of Wilson and of the ever-changing lens through which history is told and retold will find this an enlightening and illuminating work.

What if you could transport yourself back to the first century, walking the dusty streets of Jerusalem, late on Thursday night before Passover? And what if you were tagging along behind eleven men led by Jesus to the Garden of Gethsemane? You’d leave the Upper Room and go deep into the Kidron Valley to the garden. There the temple police and a half-crazed crowd arrive brandishing torches. Jesus is taken to the palace of Annas and then to the High Priest Caiaphas. What insight do we gain from history, archaeology, and most importantly the New Testament about where they lived? In the morning Jesus would be sent to the Chamber of Hewn Stone. What was this place and why is it important to the Passion narratives? On to Pilate’s Judgment Hall where new archaeological evidence questions its traditional location. You pick up the trail again on the Via Dolorosa and follow Jesus to Jerusalem’s killing field. There you find the Savior dying on a Roman cross. In just a few hours you have followed him from the Upper Room to Joseph’s tomb and have gained valuable insight into each stopover to help you on your own journey to Calvary.

If you’ve ever questioned your decisions as a partner or parent, then this story of forgiveness triumphing over self-doubt is for you... Emelia Taylor, a plus-sized single mom, and her four-year-old daughter, Quinn, are on the run from Emelia’s abusive boyfriend, Gary. Emelia and Quinn eventually land in the quaint, Hallmark-esque, bayfront town of Edenton, North Carolina. Soon after arriving, they find refuge at Redemption Ranch—a place where people and horses alike can find redemption from whatever ills life has thrown their way. Or so they think. Luke Herring is a former Marine plagued with demons from his past. He lives at Redemption Ranch, hoping the ranch will help him rid his mind and body of memories he’d rather forget. Luke and the ranch’s other residents, including Callie Andrews—who, like Emelia, escaped an abusive household—show Emelia and Quinn how to care for the ranch’s horses, many of which are also recovering from abuse. Luke hopes for a deeper relationship with Emelia. But with Luke still recovering and with Gary lurking around the ranch, endangering its residents, Luke and Emelia keep each other at arm’s length so as not to endanger each other. As they navigate their blossoming friendship, will they find the safety, security, and love they both have longed for and allow God to heal their hearts? Or when tragedy strikes, will it drive a wedge further between them? Find out here, in Book 2 of the Edenton Bay Romance Series. WARNING: Finding Redemption Ranch is a work of fiction in which a woman struggles to escape an abusive relationship. As such, this book necessarily contains language and scenarios related to physical and emotional abuse, which might be triggering for some audiences. Reader discretion is advised.
