Somehow It Works: A Candid Portait of the 1964 Presidential Election by NBC Newsby John Graham (Author)Publisher: Doubleday & Co. Inc. (1965)HardcoverItem Weight: 3.25 pounds10.25 x 12.2 inches, 224 pagesThe 1964 United States presidential election was the 45th quadrennial presidential election. It was held on Tuesday, November 3, 1964. Incumbent Democratic United States President Lyndon B. Johnson defeated Barry Goldwater, the Republican nominee. With 61.1% of the popular vote, Johnson won the largest share of the popular vote of any candidate since the largely uncontested 1820 election.Johnson took office on November 22, 1963, following the assassination of his predecessor, John F. Kennedy. He easily defeated a primary challenge by segregationist Governor George Wallace of Alabama, to win the nomination to a full term. At the 1964 Democratic National Convention, Johnson also won the nomination of his preferred running mate, Senator Hubert Humphrey of Minnesota. Senator Barry Goldwater of Arizona, a leader of his party's conservative faction, defeated liberal Governor Nelson Rockefeller of New York and Governor William Scranton of Pennsylvania at the 1964 Republican National Convention.Johnson championed his passage of the Civil Rights Act, and advocated a series of anti-poverty programs collectively known as the Great Society. Goldwater espoused a low-tax, small-government philosophy. Although he supported previous attempts to pass civil rights legislation in 1957 and 1960, as well as the 24th Amendment outlawing the poll tax, Goldwater reluctantly opposed the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as he felt that Title II violated individual liberty and states' rights. Democrats successfully portrayed Goldwater as a dangerous extremist, most famously in the "Daisy" television advertisement. The Republicans were divided between its moderate and conservative factions, with Rockefeller and other moderate party leaders refusing to campaign for Goldwater. Johnson led by wide margins in all opinion polls conducted during the campaign, although his lead continued to dwindle throughout.Johnson carried 44 states and the District of Columbia, which voted for the first time in this election. Goldwater won his home state and swept the states of the Deep South, most of which had not voted for a Republican presidential candidate since the end of Reconstruction in 1877. This was the last time that the Democratic Party won the white vote, although they came close in 1992. This was the first-ever and only election before 1992 in which the Democrats carried Vermont, and the first election since 1912 in which the Democrats carried Maine.This was the last election in which the Democratic nominee carried Idaho, Utah, Wyoming, North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, or Oklahoma, and the only election ever in which the Democrat carried Alaska. As such, this was the most recent presidential election in which the entire Midwestern region voted Democratic. Iowa and Oregon would not vote Democratic again until 1988, California, Colorado, Illinois, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, and Vermont would not vote Democratic again until 1992, while Indiana and Virginia would not vote Democratic again until 2008. As of 2021, this marks the last time that the Democratic candidate won more than 400 electoral votes.Johnson's landslide victory coincided with the defeat of many conservative Republican congressmen. The subsequent 89th Congress would pass major legislation such as the Social Security Amendments of 1965 and the Voting Rights Act. The 1964 election marked the beginning of a major, long-term re-alignment in American politics, as Goldwater's unsuccessful bid significantly influenced the modern conservative movement. The movement of conservatives to the Republican Party continued, culminating in the 1980 presidential victory of Ronald Reagan., Doubleday & Co. Inc., 1965, 3, University of California Press.

Then, nearly fifty, Robert Hine lost his vision completely. Fifteen years later, a risky eye operation restored partial vision, returning Hine to the world of the sighted. "The trauma seemed instructive enough" for him to begin a journal.<br>That journal is the heart of <i>Second Sight,</i> a sensitively written account of Hine's journey into darkness and out again. The first parts are told simply, with little anguish. The emotion comes when sight returns; like a child he discovers the world anew--the intensity of colors, the sadness of faces grown older, the renewed excitement of sex and the body.<br>With the understanding and insights that come from living on both sides of the divide, Hine ponders the meaning of blindness. His search is enriched by a discourse with other blind writers, humorist James Thurber, novelist Eleanor Clark, poet Jorge Luis Borges, among others. With them he shares thoughts on the acceptance and advantages of blindness, resentment of the blind, the reluctance with sex, and the psychological depression that often follows the recovery of sight.<br>Hine's blindness was the altered state in which to learn and live, and his deliverance from blindness the spur to seek and share its lessons. What he found makes a moving story that embraces all of us--those who can see and those who cannot. ., University of California Press, 1993, 3, Paperback.

Editori al Reviews Review This bold and important book strive s to be a practical strategy for a Second American Century. In th is brilliantly argued work, Thomas Barnett calls globalization th is countryÂ's gift to history and explains why its wide dissemina tion is critical to the security of not only America but the enti re world. As a senior military analyst for the U.S. Naval War Col lege, Barnett is intimately familiar with the culture of the Pent agon and the State Department (both of which he believes are due for significant overhauls). He explains how the Pentagon, still i n shock at the rapid dissolution of the once evil empire, spent t he 1990s grasping for a long-term strategy to replace containment . The terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, Barnett argues, re vealed the gap between an outdated Cold War-era military and a ra dically different one needed to deal with emerging threats. He be lieves that America is the prime mover in developing a future wor th creating not because of its unrivaled capacity to wage war, bu t due to its ability to ensure security around the world. Further , he believes that the U.S. has a moral responsibility to create a better world and the way he proposes to do that is by bringing all nations into the fold of globalization, or what he calls conn ectedness. Eradicating disconnectedness, therefore, is the defini ng security task of our age. His stunning predictions of a U.S. a nnexation of much of Latin America and Canada within 50 years as well as an end to war in the foreseeable future guarantee that th e book will be controversial. And that's good. The Pentagon's New Map deserves to be widely discussed. Ultimately, however, the mo st impressive aspects of the book is not its revolutionary ideas but its overwhelming optimism. Barnett wants the U.S. to pursue t he dream of global peace with the same zeal that was applied to p reventing global nuclear war with the former Soviet Union. High-l evel civilian policy makers and top military leaders are already familiar with his vision of the future?this book is a briefing fo r the rest of us and it cannot be ignored. --Shawn Carkonen From Publishers Weekly Barnett, professor at the U.S. Naval War Colle ge, takes a global perspective that integrates political, economi c and military elements in a model for the postâ?September 11 wor ld. Barnett argues that terrorism and globalization have combined to end the great-power model of war that has developed over 400 years, since the Thirty Years War. Instead, he divides the world along binary lines. An increasingly expanding Functioning Core of economically developed, politically stable states integrated int o global systems is juxtaposed to a Non-Integrating Gap, the most likely source of threats to U.S. and international security. The gap incorporates Andean South America, the Caribbean, sub-Sahara n Africa, the Middle East, Central Asia and much of southwest Asi a. According to Barnett, these regions are dangerous because they are not yet integrated into globalism's core. Until that process is complete, they will continue to lash out. Barnett calls for a division of the U.S. armed forces into two separate parts. One w ill be a quick-strike military, focused on suppressing hostile go vernments and nongovernment entities. The other will be administr atively oriented and assume responsibility for facilitating the t ransition of gap systems into the core. Barnett takes pains to de ny that implementing the new policy will establish America either as a global policeman or an imperial power. Instead, he says the policy reflects that the U.S. is the source of, and model for, g lobalization. We cannot, he argues, abandon our creation without risking chaos. Barnett writes well, and one of the book's most co mpelling aspects is its description of the negotiating, infightin g and backbiting required to get a hearing for unconventional ide as in the national security establishment. Unfortunately, marketi ng the concepts generates a certain tunnel vision. In particular, Barnett, like his intellectual models Thomas Friedman and Franci s Fukuyama, tends to accept the universality of rational-actor mo dels constructed on Western lines. There is little room in Barnet t's structures for the apocalyptic religious enthusiasm that has been contemporary terrorism's driving wheel and that to date has been indifferent to economic and political factors. That makes hi s analytical structure incomplete and more useful as an intellect ual exercise than as the guide to policy described in the book's promotional literature.

From Bookli st It has been generally recognized that the end of the cold war and the emerging threat of international terrorism presented new challenges in planning American diplomatic and military strategy. What has often been lacking is a coherent, integrated vision tha t assesses the new threats to American interests and provides a c omprehensive plan for coping with them. Barnett, a senior strateg ic researcher and professor at the U.S. Naval War College, presen ts his operating theory, which sees the principal threat to Ameri can security arising from dysfunctional or so-called failed state s, which provide fertile ground for the recruitment and sustenanc e of terrorists. On the other hand, as such past adversaries as R ussia and China are integrated into global economic and political systems, they are less threatening. To counter these threats, Ba rnett suggests some bold, even revolutionary, changes in our mili tary structure and in the dispersion and utilization of our force s. Of course, both his analyses and remedies are open to debate, but Barnett's compelling assertions are worthy of strong consider ation and are sure to provoke controversy.

When the Cold War e nded, our real challenge began. The United States had spent so m uch energy during those years trying to prevent the horror of glo bal war that it forgot the dream of global peace. As far as most Pentagon strategists were concerned, America's status as the worl d's sole military superpower was something to preserve, not somet hing to exploit, and because the future was unknowable, they assu med we needed to hedge against all possibilities, all threats, an d all futures. America was better served adopting a wait-and-see strategy, they decided, one that assumed some grand enemy would a rise in the distant future. It was better than wasting precious r esources trying to manage a messy world in the near term. The gra nd strategy...was to avoid grand strategies. I know that sounds incredible, because most people assume there are all sorts of mas ter plans being pursued throughout the U.S. Government. But, amaz ingly, we are still searching for a vision to replace the decades -long containment strategy that America pursued to counter the So viet threat. Until September 11, 2001, the closest thing the Pent agon had to a comprehensive view of the world was simply to call it chaos and uncertainty, two words that implied the impossibilit y of capturing a big-picture perspective of the world's potential futures. Since September 11, at least we have an enemy to attach to all this chaos and uncertainty, but that still leaves us desc ribing horrible futures to be prevented, not positive ones to be created. Today the role of the Defense Department in U.S. nation al security is being radically reshaped by new missions arising i n response to a new international security environment. It is tem pting to view this radical redefinition of the use of U.S. milita ry power around the world as merely the work of senior officials in the Bush Administration, but that is to confuse the midwife wi th the miracle of birth. This Administration is only doing what a ny other administration would eventually have had to do: recast A merica's national security strategy from its Cold War, balance-of -power mind-set to one that reflects the new strategic environmen t. The terrorist attacks of 9/11 simply revealed the yawning gap between the military we built to win the Cold War and the differe nt one we need to build in order to secure globalization's ultima te goal-the end of war as we know it. America stands at the peak of a world historical arc that marks globalization's tipping poi nt. When we chose to resurrect the global economy following the e nd of World War II, our ambitions were at first quite limited: we sought to rebuild globalization on only three key pillars-North America, Western Europe, and Japan. After the Cold War moved beyo nd nuclear brinkmanship to peaceful coexistence, we saw that glob al economy begin to expand across the 1980s to include the so-cal led emerging markets of South America and Developing Asia. When t he Berlin Wall fell in 1989, we had a sense that a new world orde r actually was in the making, although we lacked both the words a nd the vision to enunciate what could be meant by that phrase, ot her than that the East-West divide no longer seemed to matter. In stead of identifying new rule sets in security, we chose to recog nize the complete lack of one, and therefore, as regional securit y issues arose in the post-Cold War era, America responded withou t any global principles to guide its choices. Sometimes we felt o thers' pain and responded, sometimes we simply ignored it. Ameri ca could behave in this fashion because the boom times of the new economy suggested that security issues could take a backseat to the enormous changes being inflicted by the Information Revolutio n. If we were looking for a new operating theory of the world, su rely this was it. Connectivity would trump all, erasing the busin ess cycle, erasing national borders, erasing the very utility of the state in managing a global security order that seemed more vi rtual than real. What was the great global danger as the new mill ennium approached? It was a software bug that might bring down th e global information grid. What role did the Pentagon play in thi s first-ever, absolutely worldwide security event-this defining m oment of the postindustrial age? Virtually none. So America drif ted through the roaring nineties, blissfully unaware that globali zation was speeding ahead with no one at the wheel. The Clinton A dministration spent its time tending to the emerging financial an d technological architecture of the global economy, pushing world wide connectivity for all it was worth in those heady days, assum ing that eventually it would reach even the most disconnected soc ieties. Did we as a nation truly understand the political and sec urity ramifications of encouraging all this connectivity? Could w e understand how some people might view this process of cultural assimilation as a mortal threat? As something worth fighting agai nst? Was a clash of civilizations inevitable? Amazingly, the U.S . military engaged in more crisis-response activity around the wo rld in the 1990s than in any previous decade of the Cold War, yet no national vision arose to explain our expanding role. Globaliz ation seemed to be remaking the world, but meanwhile the U.S. mil itary seemed to be doing nothing more than babysitting chronic se curity situations on the margin. Inside the Pentagon, these crisi s responses were exclusively filed under the new rubric military operations other than war, as if to signify their lack of strateg ic meaning. The Defense Department spent the 1990s ignoring its o wn workload, preferring to plot out its future transformation for future wars against future opponents. America was not a global c op, but at best a global fireman pointing his hose at whichever b laze seemed most eye-catching at the moment. We were not trying t o make the world safe for anything; we just worked to keep these nasty little blazes under control. America was hurtling forward w ithout looking forward. In nautical terms, we were steering by ou r wake. Yet a pattern did emerge with each American crisis respo nse in the 1990s. These deployments turned out to be overwhelming ly concentrated in the regions of the world that were effectively excluded from globalization's Functioning Core-namely, the Carib bean Rim, Africa, the Balkans, the Caucasus, Central Asia, the Mi ddle East and Southwest Asia, and much of Southeast Asia. These r egions constitute globalization's ozone hole, or what I call its Non-Integrating Gap, where connectivity remains thin or absent. S imply put, if a country was losing out to globalization or reject ing much of its cultural content flows, there was a far greater c hance that the United States would end up sending troops there at some point across the 1990s. But because the Pentagon viewed all these situations as lesser includeds, there was virtually no reb alancing of the U.S. military to reflect the increased load.

Worse still, Russia threatens to march on Dabrozka to impose their iron-clad style of order. Only Ilona can save her country from this fate - by making a terrible sacrifice. At the Prime Minister's request, she must marry the Prince of Saros, their union bringing together the people. This she will do; this she must do - but what her pride will not allow her is to love the aloof, indifferent Prince. Humiliated by the Prince's evident disregard, and beaten by her own father on the eve of her wedding, it seems that love will never fill her heart - but as warclouds gather over Dabrozka, both the Prince and the Proud Princes are about to share a dramatic change of heart! *** Quantity Available: 1.

Nd Originally published in 1872 for `the Tourist, the Oarsman, and the Angler', Henry Taunt's 'New Map of the River Thames' was and remains a classic companion to the Thames. This new edition, containing a biographical introduction and illustrated with over 30 additional Taunt photographs of the river, vividly recalls the Thames of that period. But it is too an ideal guide for today's traveller. As a professional commercial photographer, a member and later Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society and having a strong involvement with the Oxford Architectural and Historical Society, Taunt's skill, knowledge and enthusiasm were the ideal combination for the production of this book. Illustrated with clear and accurate detailed maps dividing the Thames into thirty-three stretches of river, his commentary provides useful information on travelling, lodging, boating and fishing, and at the same time highlights all of historical and natural interest to be discovered along the length of the river from source to mouth. Towns, villages, public and private buildings, famous people and interesting local characters are all recorded in his flowing style, developing the story of the river and the adjacent countryside, while his photographs visually bring to life the riverscape that he had dearly loved since childhood, and enable us to share his own feelings of excitement and pleasure. Here, in The Thames of Henry Taunt, in Taunt's much-acclaimed photographs, maps and running commentary, can be seen his personal delight in this great river, of as much interest for its pictures of the Thames of a hundred years ago, as it is an aid for today's aspiring boatman. ., Sutton Pub Ltd, 1990, 3, Sometimes it seems that Americans are divided in countless waysred or blue; black, brown, or white; rich or poor; male or female. What happened to America as the land of freedom and openness? In America the Principled, renowned Harvard Business School professor and bestselling author Rosabeth Moss Kanter tackles the hardest questions our nation faces, and challenges us to recommit ourselves to pursuing our nation's noblest goals: equality and opportunity.As our open minds, open markets, and open bordersour nation's highest idealsare besieged by ideologues and zealots, Dr. Kanter shows us how to recapture the American Dream. Artfully mixing practical ideas with compassionate guidance, she reminds us that the stakes have never been higher: Our economic vitality and democratic ideals are both at risk. In order to compete in the global market, we must invest in people and ideas, reward hard work, value dialogue and debate, and listen to dissenting voices. We must curtail our desire for worldwide empire, build bridges through citizen diplomacy, and pursue happiness instead of hegemony. Dr. Kanter proposes six vital items on the agenda for restoring American strengths: Widening the net of prosperity by creating opportunities for people of all social and economic classes to participate in the science-based "white coat" economy. We can't afford to have large segments of peopleand areas of our countryexisting outside the foundations of our future, innovation-seeking society. Supporting real family values through fair and flexible workplaces that reduce stress and close gender gaps, enabling people to earn a living, be productive, and have the time and energy for the other side of life Ridding the private sector of imperial excess by instilling a values-based capitalism of businesses that are well run, make lots of money, and do lots of good Reinventing government and stop denigrating it so that when the next Katrina strikes, we have the right people in place with the motivation, capability, and resources to deal with it Doing something about the "Ugly American" by earning back the respect that we have lost in the last six years through individual grass-roots engagement with people in other countries Moving from "me" to "we" through national service programs that tap both young people as well as aging baby boomers to create a community ethos that unites people behind common purposesEmpowering and surprisingly optimistic, America the Principledurges us to work together for a bright future we'll be proud to share, having earned the respect of the world once moreand shows us how to do it., Crown, 6, Storey Publishing, LLC.

SUMMARY: This book addresses the universal theological dimension of reconciliation in the context of the Israeli Messianic Jewish and Palestinian Christian divide. Palestinian Christians and Israeli Messianic Jews share a belief in Jesus as the son of God and Messiah. Often, though, that is all they have in common. This remarkable book, written in collaboration by a local Palestinian Christian and an Israeli Messianic Jew, seeks to bridge this gap by addressing head on, divisive theological issues (as well as their political implications) such as land, covenant, prophecy and eschatology which separate their two communities. The struggle for reconciliation is painful and often extremely difficult for all of us. This unique work seeks to show a way forward. COMMENDATIONS: 'In a world that wants to see only one side of every conflict (and this one especially), where people believe only their own propaganda, and where many Christians inhabit hard shells of theological, political and apocalyptic certainties, this book is a bravely different voice. Rather, it is two voices talking carefully, honestly, graciously, respectfully and truthfully to each other - as sisters and brothers in the Messiah should. This is a unique conversation in which each partner, Messianic Jewish Israeli and Palestinian Christian, gives full expression to all that they are and think and feel about themselves and the conflict in their land. We are treated to some stretching theological debate and some honest self-criticism. But above all we come to share the hope and courage that shines through the pain and struggle'. - Christopher J. H. Wright, International Ministries Director, Langham Partnership, UK 'The Palestinian-Israeli divide may be the most intractable conflict of our time. With great courage, honestly facing the turbulent political, historical, and theological landscape which authentic reconciliation must engage, Munayer and Loden open up fresh space. Given the divides between their communities, this book is a remarkable achievement, a cry of hope from the land where Jesus walked'. - Chris Rice, Director of the Center for Reconciliation, Duke Divinity School, USA.

"The acclaimed author of The Space Between Us and The Weight of Heaven returns with a breathtaking, skillfully wrought story of four women and the unbreakable ties they share. As university students in late 1970s Bombay, Armaiti, Laleh, Kavita, and Nishta were inseparable. Spirited and unconventional, they challenged authority and fought for a better world.

Scenic Idaho - Fall 1980Paperback8.6 x 11 inches, 34 pagessee Table of ContentsIdaho is a state in the northwestern region of the United States. It borders the state of Montana to the east and northeast, Wyoming to the east, Nevada and Utah to the south, and Washington and Oregon to the west. To the north, it shares a small portion of the Canadian border with the province of British Columbia. With a population of around 1.6 million and an area of 83,569 square miles (216,440 km2), Idaho is the 14th largest, the 12th least populous and the 7th least densely populated of the 50 U.S. states. The state's capital and largest city is Boise.Idaho prior to European settlement was inhabited by Native American peoples, some of which still live in the area. In the early 19th century, Idaho was considered part of the Oregon Country, an area disputed between the U.S. and the United Kingdom. It officially became U.S. territory with the signing of the Oregon Treaty of 1846, but a separate Idaho Territory was not organized until 1863, instead being included for periods in Oregon Territory and Washington Territory. Idaho was eventually admitted to the Union on July 3, 1890, becoming the 43rd state.Forming part of the Pacific Northwest (and the associated Cascadia bioregion), Idaho is divided into several distinct geographic and climatic regions. In the state's north, the relatively isolated Idaho Panhandle is closely linked with Eastern Washington, with which it shares the Pacific Time Zone the rest of the state uses the Mountain Time Zone. The state's south includes the Snake River Plain (which contains most of the population and agricultural land), while the south-east incorporates part of the Great Basin. Idaho is quite mountainous, and contains several stretches of the Rocky Mountains. Additionally, around 38 percent of Idaho's land is held by the United States Forest Service, the most of any state.Industries significant for the state economy include manufacturing, agriculture, mining, forestry, and tourism. A number of science and technology firms are either headquartered in Idaho or have factories there, and the state also contains the Idaho National Laboratory, which is the largest Department of Energy facility in the country. Idaho's agricultural sector supplies a number of different products, but the state is best known for its potato crop, which comprises around one-third of the nationwide yield. The official state nickname is the "Gem State", which references Idaho's reputation for gemstones and, more broadly, its many wilderness areas., 1980, 3, Deerfield Beach, FL, U.S.A.: Health Communications, Incorporated, 2000. 359 Pages.
