Beyond Redemption: Texas Democrats After Reconstruction (Red River Valley Books)
Patrick G. Williams Manufacturer: Texas A&M University Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 1585445738 |
Book Description
At the end of Reconstruction, the old order reasserted itself, to varying degrees, throughout the former Confederate states. This period--Redemption, as it was called--was crucial in establishing the structures and alliances that dominated the Solid South until at least the mid-twentieth century.Texas shared in this, but because of its distinctive antebellum history, its western position within the region, and the large influx of new residents that poured across its borders, it followed its own path toward Redemption.
Now, historian Patrick G. Williams provides a dual study of the issues facing Texas Democrats as they rebuilt their party and of the policies they pursued once they were back in power. Treating Texas as a southern but also a western and a borderlands state, Williams has crafted a work with a richly textured awareness unlike any previous single study. Students of regional and political history will benefit from Williams' comprehensive view of this often overlooked, yet definitive era in Texas history.

The Swastika: Symbol Beyond Redemption?
Steven Heller Manufacturer: Allworth Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover Similar Items:
ASIN: 1581150415 |
Book Description
This is the first incisive and revealing exploration of the meaning, mysteries, and misunderstanding of the most powerful symbol in the history of mankind. The book analyzes the swastika's pre-Nazi religious and commercial uses in all of its varied permutations, the Nazi appropriation and misuses of the form, and its contemporary applications as both a racist and an apolitical icon. Tracing the symbol to its beginnings in antiquity, the author explores the myth and cult of swastika lore and its evolving use as a commercial trademark and logo, then speculates on the future of the symbol in two final, thought-provoking chapters, "The Swastika Revisited: Today and Tomorrow" and "Hitler's Children: Rock and Roll."Steven Heller, a New York Times senior art director, AIGA Journal of Graphic Design editor, and author of more than seventy books, lives in New York.

Book Description
Katie Mitchell is a well brought up Catholic girl in the dark ages of the nineteen fifties. Her father loves her very much. Her mother values piety and chastity above all. This is a brave and funny novel about falling rapturously in love and being condemned for it; about wakening sensibility and constraint, and about finding oneself growing up in spite of the voices that say 'no'. Initially published by Penguin in 1987, this Australian classic is being re-published as a 20th Anniversary celebration. ".Beyond redemption is one of our truly great novels. It moved me deeply and I shall never forget it." Alex Miller Miles Franklin and Commonwealth Writer's Prize winner.Customer Reviews:

Beyond Redemption: The People vs Lucas and Bender
John D. Montgomery Manufacturer: Watson and Dwyer ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback ASIN: 092048669X |
Book Description
The author takes the reader through the act of murder as recalled by Allan Hurd, as well as the arrest, court appearances, trial, and conviction of Bender and Lucas. He describes in graphic detail their demeanour from the time of their arrest through their entire trial. He follows their lives in prison, including a hostage taking incident participated in by Lucas resulting in the unfortunate death of one of the hostages. In this book, Montgomery is equally if not more critical of that piece of legislation and the procedures that are followed that permit a convicted inmate to apply to the court for a hearing by a jury where he must only convince two–thirds of them on a balance of probabilities that his eligibility time for parole should be reduced. At such a hearing, affidavits, statements and reports referring to the inmate's life and behaviour in the penitentiary are presented to the jury by the applicant inmate. It is this legislation, as well as the politicians who fashion and support it, that Montgomery is highly critical of. He contends that it is this legislation that permitted Lucas on February 26, 1990, to proceed with such an application, following which the jury recommended that Lucas' parole eligibility time be reduced from 20 years to "forthwith." "This is a well researched and crafted work and an extremely good read" from the Foreword by the Honourable Benjamin Hewak.
