Virtually no subject--politics, slavery, religion, gardening, music, architecture, natural history, or science to name a few--escaped the interest and attention of Thomas Jefferson. Through nearly 800 excerpts of Jefferson's writing, ranging in length from one sentence to nearly a page, Thomas Jefferson: A Chronology of His Thoughts, allows readers to share in Jefferson's greatest triumphs and achievements and reflects on the moments that truly tested the very fiber of his soul, publicly and privately. From the glory of crafting the Declaration of Independence and assuming the mantle of leadership as the Republic's third president, through his moral struggle with slavery and the agony of losing his young wife and daughter, Jerry Holmes chronicles Jefferson's life through his own words. Thomas Jefferson: A Chronology of His Thoughts will fascinate both the serious Jefferson scholar as well as curious newcomers.
First Place: The Alcuin Citation for Excellence in Book Design. Gabrielle Roy's undoubted importance in the history of the French-Canadian novel makes her one of the most frequently studied of our authors. In this unique study, Ellen Babby focuses on the spectacle motif throughout Gabrielle Roy's fiction. This wide-ranging survey of texts reveals a whole new facet of Roy's artistry, and sheds a refreshing and critically important light on many of her works often casually passed over by critics, such as La Rivi re sans repros, Jardin au bout du monde, La Montagne secr te, and Alexandre Chenevert.
Este libro estudia tres emergencias sanitarias vividas en Bogotá, prestando especial atención a quiénes y cómo las atendieron. Inspirada en la innovadora actividad de la Universidad de los Andes en el primer año de la pandemia de covm-19, la autora se pregunta por las relaciones entre actores de la sociedad ante coyunturas de salud pública (autoridades civiles y científicas, sector productivo y población general). Su análisis pone en evidencia que, como se ve comúnmente, los más vulnerables fueron los más afectados. Esta es una lectura fundamental para conocer tres ejemplos de colaboración ante una crisis, y plantea elementos clave para que la sociedad pueda reaccionar frente a futuros retos de estas dimensiones.
