A Machine That Would Go of Itself The Constitution in American Culture

A Machine That Would Go of Itself The Constitution in American Culture

In this volume Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Michael Kammen explores the U. S. Constitution's place in the public consciousness and its role as a symbol in American life from ratification in 1788 to our own time. As he examines what the Constitution has meant to the American people (perceptions and misperceptions uses and abuses knowledge and ignorance) Kammen shows that although there are recurrent declarations of reverence most of us neither know nor fully understand our Constitution. How did this gap between ideal and reality come about? To explain it Kammen examines the complex and contradictory feelings about the Constitution that emerged during its preparation and that have been with us ever since. He begins with our confusion as to the kind of Union we created especially with regard to how much sovereignty the states actually surrendered to the central government. This confusion is the source of the constitutional crisis that led to the Civil War and its aftermath. Kammen also describes and analyzes changing perceptions of the differences and similarities between the British and American constitutions; turn-of-the-century debates about states' rights versus national authority; and disagreements about how easy or difficult it ought to be to amend the Constitution. Moving into the twentieth century he notes the development of a cult of the Constitution following World War I and the conflict over policy issues that persisted despite a shared commitment to the Constitution. | A Machine That Would Go of Itself The Constitution in American Culture

Reconsidering Ian McHarg

Reconsidering Ian McHarg

In 1969 Ian McHarg laid out a new approach to land-use planning. His seminal work Design by Nature blazed the trail for sustainable urban development. The road was paved with good intentions. But where exactly did it lead? And where do we go from here?Reconsidering Ian McHarg offers a fresh assessment of McHarg‘s lessons and legacy. It applauds his call for environmental stewardship while acknowledging its unintended results. For McHarg‘s idyllic developments at the edge of nature turned greenfield sites into suburban communities. They added to sprawl and made America more dependent on cars. And they may even have delayed the kind of urban redevelopment needed to make today‘s cities more sustainable.

Historical Narratives Constructable Evaluable Inevitable

Historical Narratives Constructable Evaluable Inevitable

This book explains some of the psychological processes that go into narrative construction and why it is that we have so much variability of historical accounts about a single historical event. A central focus of this book is how historians go from having unconnected units of data to having a coherent structured and organized flow of experiences. The author argues that the way these connections are established responds to certain Gestalt psychological principles that allow us to understand not only how histories are constructed but also how this construction can be rather different depending on how these principles are applied. To illustrate how these principles are present in histories the author analyzes classic historical writers such as Burckhardt Huizinga Vico and Marx. As well as an explanation of why historical multiplicity happens the book also offers a way to evaluate different historical narratives about the same historical event. To illustrate how the evaluative framework is at play the author analyzes two views about the so-called discovery of America. The first one explains what happens in 1492 by using the term discovery. The second one uses the notion of invention to talk about the same set of circumstances. The book provides an important epistemic tool to evaluate these different accounts—one that can be applied not only to this case but also others. This book appeals to scholars graduate students and upper-level undergraduate students of history and philosophy. In addition the book may also attract intellectuals generally considered who are interested in how philosophy can inform and question historical practice. | Historical Narratives Constructable Evaluable Inevitable
