In his search, Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz entered the "Rites Controversy" on the side of the Jesuits, who had achieved positions of remarkable proximity to the Chinese throne. Yet less than forty years later, the optimism of their cause had dummed. Leibniz died in isolation in Hanover, the papacy ruled against the Jesuits at Rome, and in China there was a growing distrust of the Christian missionaries by the monarchy. In contrast to past neglect of this subject as an intriguing but peripheral area of Leibniz' philosophy, Leibniz and Confucianism: THe Search for Accord elevates Leibniz' interest in China to a more central concern of Leibnizian Ism. Leibniz was deeply committed to an ecumenism that included not only the reunion of Roman and Protestant Christendom, but an ecumenism with which the spiritual and intellectual beliefs and practices of non-Westerners, especially the Chinese, could be reconciled. As an investigation into how that commitment was pursued and into some of the reasons why it failed, this book seeks to present Leibniz' experience a both historical record and contemporary guide. Drawing upon unpublished material in the Leibniz archives in Hanover, Mungello traces the influences upon Leibniz through the Jesuit translators to the Chinese sources. In the process, we have the opportunity to observe the first historical instance of a major Western philosopher interpreting and reacting to Chinese (largely Neo-Confucian) philosophic notions and concepts. The author concludes by explaining how he believes Leibniz' search for accord can assist our own contemporary search for accord.]]></description><link>https://hayward.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S180C1675532</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://hayward.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S180C1675532</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Mungello, D.

His outspoken and politically indiscreet editorials soon made him the first journalist in history of Japan to be jailed for his writings. During the early Meiji years, he continued to grope for an ideal and a position, even joining the regime as a brash and innovative official. Only when he was independent of the government bureaucracy, however, did Fukuchi assume a position of pivotal importance. During the peak years of his career from 1874 to 1888, he demonstrated the crucial advantage enjoyed by those Japanese who had gained Western knowledge and, as editor of the Tokyo Nichi Nichi, made his most distinctive contributions to Meiji society and to journalism in Japan. Using a politically awakened press, which he had invigorated with Western techniques of journalism, Fukuchi provided the popular rationale for the course followed by the government and became the period's leading nonofficial advocate of the "gradualist" approach toward constitutional government. He also founded Japan's first "gradualist" political party. The Constitutionalist Imperial Party, during his years as an editor. Despite his great influence, Fukuchi left the press world in 1888, disappointed over failures and changing alliances, a vivid illustration of the precarious nature of leadership in a transitional period. Too long allied with the forces of innovation to become a casualty of change, however, he embarked on a new life as a writer of novels, plays, and history, and emerged in the 1890's as Japan's foremost playwright. In the life of Fukuchi Gen'ichiro is the story of a history-making figure, a man whose career embodied the response of Meiji Japan to the Western challenge of modernization, and yet a man whose personal life was inescapably subject to the tensions of an era of rapid social and political change. James Huffman's fine biography is a notable book about an exciting man, a maker and mirror of his times.]]></description><link>https://hayward.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S180C1675558</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://hayward.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S180C1675558</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Huffman, James L.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 31 Jan 2019 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://hayward.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1675558180</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle>The Life of Fukuchi Gen&apos;ichirō</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://contentcafe2.btol.com/ContentCafe/Jacket.aspx?&amp;userID=HPL69788&amp;password=CC99704&amp;Value=9780824880132&amp;content=M&amp;Return=1&amp;Type=M</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Tai Chen's Inquiry Into Goodness]]></title><description><![CDATA[From Sung times, and throughout the Ming period, one of the dominant philosophies of China had been a dualistic rationalism thought to be firmly grounded on the classics. Tai Chen (1723-1777) was a scholar and philosopher during the Ch'ing period- a time when China produced few philosophic thinkers. He was the greatest of these, and his views are embodied chiefly in Yuan Shan and in Meng Tzu txu-yi shu-cheng. In place of the prevailing Sung dualism, Tai Chen propounded a rationalistic monism seldom before insinuated in a Chinese philosophy. He declines to accept current dogmas and preferred to seek his own truths. His commentaries opposed the time-honored interpretations of Chu Hsi, and he discredited them on purely philosophical grounds. But with few disciples to carry on his teachings, he was virtually forgotten or ignored in China for more than a hundred years after his death. It was not until early in the present century- with China under the pressures of Western aggression and internal disorders-that Tai Chen's nearness to Western thought was rediscovered and his important role in the history of philosophy recognized. Curiously, this first of China's Western-oriented philosophers even today remains little known in the West and his major writings largely untranslated.]]></description><link>https://hayward.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S180C1675571</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://hayward.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S180C1675571</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Cheng, Chung-Ying]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 31 Jan 2019 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://hayward.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1675571180</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle>A Translation of the Yuan Shan, With An Introductory Essay</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://contentcafe2.btol.com/ContentCafe/Jacket.aspx?&amp;userID=HPL69788&amp;password=CC99704&amp;Value=9780824880828&amp;content=M&amp;Return=1&amp;Type=M</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[A Hospital Stay Changed My Life]]></title><description><![CDATA[This book is part of a collection of intermediate-level Adult New Reader books created by California Library Literacy Services volunteer tutors and staff.

The global innovator class has the world in their hands, but they can't stand the touch. In Gilded Rage: Elon Musk and the Radicalization of Silicon Valley, Jacob Silverman leads us on a critical investigation into the radicalization of Silicon Valley and the billionaires that increasingly run our lives, shape the global economy, and support Donald Trump. At the center of this book lies Elon Musk, but this is about more than just one man and his obsession with the "woke mind virus", as Silverman reveals a network of tech and finance oligarchs, emboldened by the zero-interest rate years, now using their wealth to exert an increasingly radical political program. Transiting San Francisco and Silicon Valley, Austin and Miami, New York, Washington DC, and various global capitals of tech, finance, and political power, Silverman talks to the people who are already living with the real-life consequences of the political revolution underway. It's a bizarre, sometimes frightening, darkly humorous world where moguls preach populist revolt while dismantling the few remaining checks on their influence." -- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://hayward.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S180C1675390</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://hayward.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S180C1675390</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Silverman, Jacob]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://hayward.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1675390180</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Elon Musk and the Radicalization of Silicon Valley</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://contentcafe2.btol.com/ContentCafe/Jacket.aspx?&amp;userID=HPL69788&amp;password=CC99704&amp;Value=9781399419987&amp;content=M&amp;Return=1&amp;Type=M</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Bette Davis Ain't for Sissies]]></title><description><![CDATA[An Off-Broadway sensation, actress and playwright, Jessica Sherr, powerfully channels Bette Davis’ fight against the male-dominated studio system.

Once they were published, his work had a remarkable impact on the evolution of seventeenth-century thought.,However, as his identity was unknown, divergent interpretations of their meaning quickly sprang up. Seventeenth-century readers understood him as an anti-Aristotelian thinker and as a precursor of Descartes. Twentieth-century historians depicted him as an atomist, natural scientist and even as a chemist. And yet, when Gorlaeus died, he was a beginning student in theology. His thought must in fact be placed at the intersection between philosophy, the nascent natural sciences, and theology.,The aim of this book is to shed light on Gorlaeus' family circumstances, his education at Franeker and Leiden, and on the virulent Arminian crisis which provided the context within which his work was written. It also attempts to define Gorlaeus' place in the history of Dutch philosophy and to assess the influence that it exercised in the evolution of philosophy and science, and notably in early Cartesian circles. Christoph Lüthy is professor of the history of philosophy and science at Radboud University Nijmegen, the Netherlands. Toen David Gorlaeus (1591-1612) op 21 jarige leeftijd overleed, liet hij twee baanbrekende manuscripten na. Na de postume publicatie in 1620 en 1651 hadden zijn werken een opmerkelijke invloed.,Doordat Gorlaeus' identiteit onbekend was, ontstonden al snel zeer uiteenlopende interpretaties van de publicaties. Lezers uit de zeventiende eeuw dachten met een anti-aristotelische denker en een voorloper van Descartes van doen te hebben. Twintigste-eeuwse historici schilderden hem af als een atomist, natuurwetenschapper en zelfs als chemicus. Gorlaeus was echter 'slechts' beginnend theologiestudent en zijn werk bevindt zich op het kruispunt van filosofie, de ontluikende natuurwetenschappen en theologie.Dit boek beoogt inzicht te geven in de familieomstandigheden van Gorlaeus, zijn opleiding aan de universiteit van Franeker en Leiden en de historische context waarin hij zijn werk schreef. Ten slotte probeert de auteur te bepalen welke plaats Gorlaeus' werken innemen in de geschiedenis van de Nederlandse filosofie en wat hun invloed was op de ontwikkelingen in filosofie en wetenschap.]]></description><link>https://hayward.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S180C1674795</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://hayward.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S180C1674795</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Lüthy, Christoph]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://hayward.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1674795180</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle>An Enigmatic Figure in the History of Philosophy and Science</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://contentcafe2.btol.com/ContentCafe/Jacket.aspx?&amp;userID=HPL69788&amp;password=CC99704&amp;Value=9781040801215&amp;content=M&amp;Return=1&amp;Type=M</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Anton Pannekoek]]></title><description><![CDATA[Anton Pannekoek (1873-1960), prominent astronomer and world-renowned socialist theorist, stood at the nexus of the revolutions in politics, science and the arts of the early twentieth century.

The book focuses on Sato's management of Japan's relations with the United States and Japan's neighbours in East Asia, where Sato worked to normalize relations with South Korea and China. It also covers domestic Japanese politics, particularly factional politics within the ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP), where Sato, as the founder of what would become the largest LDP faction, was at the centre of LDP politics for decades. The book highlights Sato's greatest achievement – the return of Okinawa from United States occupation - for which, together with the establishment of the non-nuclear principles, he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, the only Japanese to receive the Prize.

In this narrative about making meaning of brokenness and grief, Megan Sweeney reflects on her childhood entanglement with her mother, her loss-filled relationship with her alcoholic father, and her attachment to the clothes that have mended her as she has mended them. Sweeney explores how clothing fosters communication and enables us to cultivate relationships with ourselves and with others, both living and deceased. In dialogue with other clothing lovers, writers, fiber artists, evolutionary biologists, historians, and environmentalists, Sweeney also foregrounds the entwinement of clothing, race, and gender as she considers the ethics and environmental effects of clothing consumption, the history of clothing in the US prison system, and the roles that textiles play as sources of creativity, artistry, and self-fashioning, even within conditions of constraint. For Sweeney, the act of mending is a way of living. Unlike fixing, which leaves no trace of damage or loss, mending allows Sweeney to embrace holes, rips, and threadbare patches as part of her life's design.]]></description><link>https://hayward.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S180C1673786</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://hayward.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S180C1673786</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Sweeney, Megan]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2023 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://hayward.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1673786180</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://contentcafe2.btol.com/ContentCafe/Jacket.aspx?&amp;userID=HPL69788&amp;password=CC99704&amp;Value=9781478093596&amp;content=M&amp;Return=1&amp;Type=M</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Provocative Joan Robinson]]></title><description><![CDATA[One of the most original and prolific economists of the twentieth century, Joan Robinson (1903–83) is widely regarded as the most important woman in the history of economic thought. Robinson studied economics at Cambridge University, where she made a career that lasted some fifty years. She was an unlikely candidate for success at Cambridge. A young woman in 1930 in a university dominated by men, she succeeded despite not having a remarkable academic record, a college fellowship, significant publications, or a powerful patron. In The Provocative Joan Robinson , Nahid Aslanbeigui and Guy Oakes trace the strategies and tactics Robinson used to create her professional identity as a Cambridge economist in the 1930s, examining how she recruited mentors and advocates, carefully defined her objectives, and deftly pursued and exploited opportunities. Aslanbeigui and Oakes demonstrate that Robinson's professional identity was thoroughly embedded in a local scientific culture in which the Cambridge economists A. C. Pigou, John Maynard Keynes, Dennis Robertson, Piero Sraffa, Richard Kahn (Robinson's closest friend on the Cambridge faculty), and her husband Austin Robinson were important figures. Although the economists Joan Robinson most admired—Pigou, Keynes, and their mentor Alfred Marshall—had discovered ideas of singular greatness, she was convinced that each had failed to grasp the essential theoretical significance of his own work. She made it her mission to recast their work both to illuminate their major contributions and to redefine a Cambridge tradition of economic thought. Based on the extensive correspondence of Robinson and her colleagues, The Provocative Joan Robinson is the story of a remarkable woman, the intellectual and social world of a legendary group of economists, and the interplay between ideas, ambitions, and disciplinary communities.]]></description><link>https://hayward.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S180C1673825</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://hayward.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S180C1673825</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Aslanbeigui, Nahid]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2009 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://hayward.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1673825180</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle>The Making of A Cambridge Economist</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://contentcafe2.btol.com/ContentCafe/Jacket.aspx?&amp;userID=HPL69788&amp;password=CC99704&amp;Value=9781478090175&amp;content=M&amp;Return=1&amp;Type=M</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[曾国藩传 / 张宏杰著.•Zeng Guofan Zhuan]]></title><link>https://hayward.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S180C1673602</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://hayward.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S180C1673602</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[und]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Zhang, Chang]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Invalid Date</pubDate><comments>https://hayward.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1673602180</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>und</language><image_url>https://contentcafe2.btol.com/ContentCafe/Jacket.aspx?&amp;userID=HPL69788&amp;password=CC99704&amp;Value=9787513921091&amp;content=M&amp;Return=1&amp;Type=M</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Su Dongpo zhuan]]></title><description><![CDATA[Ben shu shi yi bu chuan ji, jiang shu le su dong po shi yi ge bing xing nan gai de le tian pai, shi bei tian min ren de dao de jia, shi san wen zuo jia, shi xin pai de hua jia, shi wei da de shu fa jia, shi niang jiu de shi yan zhe, shi gong cheng shi, shi jia dao xue de fan dui pai, shi yu jia shu de xiu lian zhe, shi fo jiao tu, shi shi da fu, shi huang di de mi shu, shi yin jiu cheng xing zhe, shi xin chang ci bei de fa guan, shi zheng zhi shang de jian chi ji jian zhe, shi yue xia de man bu zhe, shi shi ren, shi sheng xing hui xie ai kai wan xiao de ren. cong ge ge fang mian jiang shu le su dong po de quan bu.]]></description><link>https://hayward.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S180C1673601</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://hayward.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S180C1673601</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[chi]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Lin, Yutang]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 31 Jan 2018 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://hayward.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1673601180</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>The gay genius</subtitle><language>chi</language><image_url>https://contentcafe2.btol.com/ContentCafe/Jacket.aspx?&amp;userID=HPL69788&amp;password=CC99704&amp;Value=9787540484880&amp;content=M&amp;Return=1&amp;Type=M</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[You Thought You Knew]]></title><description><![CDATA[Kevin Federline's memoir reveals his journey from backup dancer to father, navigating fame, media scrutiny, and custody battles while fighting to give his children a normal life.]]></description><link>https://hayward.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S180C1663854</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://hayward.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S180C1663854</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Federline, Kevin]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Invalid Date</pubDate><comments>https://hayward.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1663854180</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://contentcafe2.btol.com/ContentCafe/Jacket.aspx?&amp;userID=HPL69788&amp;password=CC99704&amp;Value=9798999612502&amp;content=M&amp;Return=1&amp;Type=M</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[A. Philip Randolph]]></title><description><![CDATA[Important insights into the life and mind of one of the most significant civil rights leaders of the twentieth century A. Philip Randolph, founder of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, was one of the most effective black trade unionists in America. Once known as "the most dangerous black man in America," he was a radical journalist, a labor leader, and a pioneer of civil rights strategies. His protegé Bayard Rustin noted that, "With the exception of W.E.B. Du Bois, he was probably the greatest civil rights leader of the twentieth century until Martin Luther King." Scholarship has traditionally portrayed Randolph as an atheist and anti-religious, his connections to African American religion either ignored or misrepresented. Taylor places Randolph within the context of American religious history and uncovers his complex relationship to African American religion. She demonstrates that Randolph's religiosity covered a wide spectrum of liberal Protestant beliefs, from a religious humanism on the left, to orthodox theological positions on the right, never straying far from his African Methodist roots.]]></description><link>https://hayward.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S180C1673421</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://hayward.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S180C1673421</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Taylor, Cynthia]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 31 Jan 2005 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://hayward.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1673421180</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle>The Religious Journey of An African American Labor Leader</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://contentcafe2.btol.com/ContentCafe/Jacket.aspx?&amp;userID=HPL69788&amp;password=CC99704&amp;Value=9781479899388&amp;content=M&amp;Return=1&amp;Type=M</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Radical Lives of Helen Keller]]></title><description><![CDATA[A political biography that reveals new sides to Helen Keller Several decades after her death in 1968, Helen Keller remains one of the most widely recognized women of the twentieth century. But the fascinating story of her vivid political life—particularly her interest in radicalism and anti-capitalist activism—has been largely overwhelmed by the sentimentalized story of her as a young deaf-blind girl. Keller had many lives indeed. Best known for her advocacy on behalf of the blind, she was also a member of the socialist party, an advocate of women's suffrage, a defender of the radical International Workers of the World, and a supporter of birth control—and she served as one of the nation's most effective but unofficial international ambassadors. In spite of all her political work, though, Keller rarely explored the political dimensions of disability, adopting beliefs that were often seen as conservative, patronizing, and occasionally repugnant. Under the wing of Alexander Graham Bell, a controversial figure in the deaf community who promoted lip-reading over sign language, Keller became a proponent of oralism, thereby alienating herself from others in the deaf community who believed that a rich deaf culture was possible through sign language. But only by distancing herself from the deaf community was she able to maintain a public image as a one-of-a-kind miracle. Using analytic tools and new sources, Kim E. Nielsen's political biography of Helen Keller has many lives, teasing out the motivations for and implications of her political and personal revolutions to reveal a more complex and intriguing woman than the Helen Keller we thought we knew.]]></description><link>https://hayward.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S180C1673439</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://hayward.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S180C1673439</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Nielsen, Kim E.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2004 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://hayward.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1673439180</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://contentcafe2.btol.com/ContentCafe/Jacket.aspx?&amp;userID=HPL69788&amp;password=CC99704&amp;Value=9780814759004&amp;content=M&amp;Return=1&amp;Type=M</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reflections]]></title><description><![CDATA[In the 1820s, several years before Braille was invented, Therese-Adele Husson, a young blind woman from provincial France, wrote an audacious manifesto about her life, French society, and her hopes for the future. Through extensive research and scholarly detective work, authors Catherine Kudlick and Zina Weygand have rescued this intriguing woman and the remarkable story of her life and tragic death from obscurity, giving readers a rare look into a world recorded by an unlikely historical figure. Reflections is one of the earliest recorded manifestations of group solidarity among people with the same disability, advocating self-sufficiency and independence on the part of blind people, encouraging education for all blind children, and exploring gender roles for both men and women. Resolutely defying the sense of "otherness" which pervades discourse about the disabled, Husson instead convinces us that that blindness offers a fresh and important perspective on both history and ourselves. In rescuing this important historical account and recreating the life of an obscure but potent figure, Weygand and Kudlick have awakened a perspective that transcends time and which, ultimately, remaps our inherent ideas of physical sensibility.]]></description><link>https://hayward.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S180C1673442</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://hayward.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S180C1673442</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Husson, Therese-Ad©·le]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 31 Jan 2002 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://hayward.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1673442180</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle>The Life and Writings of A Young Blind Woman in Post-revolutionary France</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://contentcafe2.btol.com/ContentCafe/Jacket.aspx?&amp;userID=HPL69788&amp;password=CC99704&amp;Value=9780814790984&amp;content=M&amp;Return=1&amp;Type=M</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Essential Agus]]></title><description><![CDATA[Rabbi Jacob Agus' (1911-1986) intellectual production spanned nearly a half century and covered an enormous historical and conceptual range, from the biblical to the modern era. Best known as an important Jewish scholar, he also held important rabbinic, teaching, and public positions. Although born and raised within an orthodox setting, Agus was strongly influenced by American liberalism and his work displayed modernizing sympathies, reservations about nationalism—including some forms of Zionism—and often severe criticisms of kabbalah. Agus crafted a unique, quite American, modernizing vision that ardently sought to remain in touch with the wellsprings of the rabbinic tradition while remaining open to the intellectual and moral currents of his own time.The Essential Agus brings together a sampling of Agus' most important published and unpublished material in one easily accessible volume. It will be an invaluable resource for students and researchers seeking to experience Agus' intellectual legacy.]]></description><link>https://hayward.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S180C1673300</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://hayward.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S180C1673300</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Katz, Steven T.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 1997 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://hayward.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1673300180</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle>The Writings of Jacob B.

Olmsted devoted much of his later life to this work. What was the source of this creative energy and imagination in his fascinating years? Melvin Kalfus is the first author to examine Olmsted's troubled, sometimes tragic childhood and adolescence in a search for the inner sources of his creative imagination. Kalfus argues that Olmsted's distressing early experiences fired his ambition and led him so obsessively to seek the world's esteem through his works. Kalfus also looks at Olmsted's varied early career during which he worked as an apprentice merchant, a seaman, a farmer, a manager of a mining plantation in California, a journalist, and author of three istorically important books on slavery, and as the General Secretary of the Civil War's Sanitary Commission, and enormous project organized to provide medical aid to Union soldiers.]]></description><link>https://hayward.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S180C1673321</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://hayward.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S180C1673321</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Kalfus, Melvin]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 31 Jan 1990 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://hayward.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1673321180</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle>The Passion of A Public Artist</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://contentcafe2.btol.com/ContentCafe/Jacket.aspx?&amp;userID=HPL69788&amp;password=CC99704&amp;Value=9780814763513&amp;content=M&amp;Return=1&amp;Type=M</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Hurdler]]></title><description><![CDATA[A study of the life of Dr. Charles Drew, from his determined hurdling of racial barriers, through his graduation from Amherst with honors, his research in blood plasma, to the time when he established the first blood banks for the American Red Cross.]]></description><link>https://hayward.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S180C1671183</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://hayward.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S180C1671183</guid><category><![CDATA[VIDEO_ONLINE]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><pubDate>Mon, 31 Jan 2011 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://hayward.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1671183180</comments><format>VIDEO_ONLINE</format><subtitle>The Story of Dr. Charles Drew</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url/></item><item><title><![CDATA[Willa Beatrice Brown]]></title><description><![CDATA[Willa Beatrice Brown, the first African- American woman in the U.S. to be a licensed pilot, earned her license in 1937. She and her husband, Cornelius Coffey, founded a fully accredited flying school at Harlem Airfield, near Chicago. The school provided basic through advanced mechanic training and flight instruction for thousands of men and women, both black and white. Willa became a founding member of the National Airmen s Association of America, whose purpose was to lobby Congress for the racial integration of the US Army Air Corps. Her efforts were responsible for Congress creation of the renowned Tuskegee Airmen, leading to the integration of the U.S. military service in 1948. Despite her many accomplishments, few people have heard of Willa Brown. This documentary tells her story and that of African- American aviation before World War II, highlighting the contributions of the many extraordinary individuals who shaped civil rights history.

From the silent newsreels through the first two decades of television, news cameramen were the prime movers of the news business. This film is the story of Bill Birch, who created many of the iconic news images of the 20th century. As Bill puts it, "A cameraman was a reporter with a camera instead of a pencil."   When Bill was drafted into the Army, he ended up in the Signal Corps under the legendary film director Frank Capra. They were responsible for the much-watched "Why We Fight" series. After the war, Bill went to Movietone News and then to NBC. He reported on the Leopold and Loeb trial, the desegregation of the schools in Little Rock, and Castro's triumphant march into Havana. He covered presidents Truman, Eisenhower, Kennedy, and Nixon, including John Kennedy's fateful trip to Dallas.   Bill Birch had a flair for being in the right place at the right time.]]></description><link>https://hayward.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S180C1672564</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://hayward.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S180C1672564</guid><category><![CDATA[VIDEO_ONLINE]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><pubDate>Thu, 31 Jan 2008 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://hayward.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1672564180</comments><format>VIDEO_ONLINE</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url/></item></channel></rss>
