How southern members of Congress remade the United States in their own image after the Civil War No question has loomed larger in the American experience than the role of the South. Southern Nation examines how southern members of Congress shaped national public policy and American institutions from Reconstruction to the New Deal—and along the way remade the region and the nation in their own image. The central paradox of southern politics was how such a highly diverse region could be transformed into a coherent and unified bloc—a veritable nation within a nation that exercised extraordinary influence in politics. This book shows how this unlikely transformation occurred in Congress, the...
Why the Right Went Wrong offers a historical view of the right since the 1960s. Its core contention is that American conservatism and the Republican Party took a wrong turn when they adopted Barry Goldwater's worldview during and after the 1964 campaign. The radicalism of today's conservatism is not the product of the Tea Party, Washington Post columnist E.J. Dionne writes. The Tea Partiers are the true heirs to Goldwater ideology. The purity movement did more than drive moderates out of the Republican Party--it beat back alternative definitions of conservatism.--Publisher information.

KAN MAN SKRIDE FRA FESTIVALEN, selvom man har glædet sig helt vildt? HVOR MANGE BAKTERIER overføres der ved et kys? KAN EN FAR, der aldrig har været der, alligevel fucke dig op? ER FØLELSESLØSHED bedre end smerte? Nogle gange går noget i stykker og må samles på ny. BRUDSTYKKER er otte noveller om sårbarhed – fortalt af en række danske forfattere med indsigt, omsorg, nuancer og håb. De medvirkende forfattere er:Ida-Marie Rendtorff Sarah Engell Sidsel Ana Welden Jonas Kleinschmidt Mikkel RosengaardZakiya Ajmi Mads Ananda LodahlVilma Sandnes JohanssonNovellesamlingen udgives under CarlsenPuls.
Offering major reevaluations of Dryden, Hume, and Johnson, Engell shows that 18th-century criticism cannot be represented by just a few major critics or by generalizations about Augustan taste, neoclassical rules, or "common sense." He presents a complex and highly varied body of theoretical writing and practical application by dozens of critics.
I Hestehuller af Mette Vedsø er to veninder i sommerhus. Solen skinner, og alt er perfekt, lige indtil sære, pinlige Gydde kommer på besøg med sine forældre. "Jeg har badetøj med." Hun flagrede med et ternet net. "Jeg har fået ny badedragt." En kuldegysning startede helt oppe i issen, den ormede sig ned gennem nakke og rygrad, satte sig i halebenet og arbejdede sig helt ned mod jorden. En så tydelig kropsfornemmelse, at det føltes overnaturligt, som en form for advarsel. Hestehuller er illustreret af Thit Thyrring. Udkommer i serien Billednoveller fra Gyldendal, der er noveller med stærke temaer, udfordrende fortællinger og dynamik mellem tekst og billeder. Serien henvender sig til unge.
Børn elsker at få fortalt historier. De bliver grebet af humor og spænding. De spejler sig i fantasifulde universer. Men ikke alle børn elsker litteratur. De forbinder den med skole og pligtlæsning. Derfor skal de opleve, at dansk også er et kulturfag, hvor de udvikler deres sans for litteratur og lærer kunsten at læse.
