La Palma
La Palma, the smallest city in Orange County in terms of land size at 1.7 square miles, evolved out of the Los Coyotes land grant, which later was carved into ranchos, then family farms. Pioneer farmers in the early 20th century diversified, working in creameries and the sugar beet and oil industries. Post-World War II suburbia expanded eastward, influencing the dairymen to incorporate in 1955 as the city of Dairyland to save their rural lifestyle--a trendsetting notion that received national attention. The school districts vigorously acquired land by eminent domain so that tiny La Palma contains five districts within its boundaries. Unable to halt tract building, the dairy farmers continued their bold, forward-thinking initiatives for the renamed "La Palma" in 1965 by creating a master plan that included the first underground utilities in the county.
Orange County Chronicles
Orange County is one of the best-known, yet least understood, counties in California. The popular image of beautiful people in beach cities is certainly accurate. But the Orange County that is often overlooked includes workaday lives in Anaheim, the barrios of Santa Ana, townhouse living in Brea and the diverse communities of Little Saigon, Little Texas, Los Rios, La Habra and Silverado Canyon. Modern Orange County offers very little sense of history, and it sometimes seems as if the urbanization of the 1960s is all that defines the place. Orange County historian Phil Brigandi fills in the gaps with this collection of essays that explores the very creation of the county, as well as pressing issues of race, citrus, attractions and annexation.
The Stud
Includes a new introduction from New York Times bestselling author, Catherine Steadman, where she talks about what this book and Jackie means to her. ‘Jackie wrote with shameless ambition, ruthless passion and pure diamond-dusted sparkle’ CATHERINE STEADMAN 'Jackie Collins’s daring, unapologetic stroke of the pen, combined with her glorious wit, has single-handedly given creative license to new generations of authors and storytellers' COLLEEN HOOVER London, 1969: a world of hedonists and pleasure-seekers living for the moment. One man at the centre of this decadent scene plays all the angles, never missing a chance to score with beautiful women. But now the woman he wants knows his num...
Wissenschaftliche Philanthropie und transatlantischer Austausch in der Zwischenkriegszeit
Kann sozialwissenschaftliche Forschung zur Lösung gesellschaftlicher Probleme beitragen? Unter dieser Fragestellung entwickelte eine der Stiftungen der Rockefeller Familie Anfang der 1920er-Jahre ein groß angelegtes finanzielles Unterstützungsprogramm für die amerikanischen und europäischen Sozialwissenschaften. Die Arbeit untersucht die Einbindung Deutschlands in dieses transatlantische Netzwerk wissenschaftlicher und persönlicher Beziehungen. Die Finanzierung von Forschungsprogrammen und die Entsendung von Stipendiaten führten zu einer engen, aber nicht immer einfache Zusammenarbeit deutscher und amerikanischer Verhandlungspartner. Eine Gegenüberstellung u.a. der Quellenbestände des Rockefeller Archive Center mit den umfangreichen Unterlagen des deutschen Verwalters der Programme, August Wilhelm Fehling, ermöglicht den Zugang zu einer verflochtenen Geschichte ("histoire croisée") der Austauschbeziehungen und der aus ihnen resultierenden individuellen und kollektiven Erfahrungen.
