The Founders: The 39 Stories Behind the U.S. Constitution»rank: 98950by: Dennis Brindell Fradin
: :The stories behind the Constitution are as powerful as the nation it created.“We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.” After the American Revolution, the thirteen united states were joined, barely, by an almost powerless government.

H.C. Westermann»rank: 588669by: Dennis Adrian, Michael Rooks
: :The irony and antic sense of humor that animate the work of H. C. Westermann (1922–1981) and make it so accessible are evident on every page of this volume, the first comprehensive study of the artist in over 20 years.

Paleoamerican Origins: Beyond Clovis (Peopling of the Americas Publication)»rank: 341957from: Texas A&M University Press
: :Paleoamerican Origins presents an overview of the peopling of the Americas and how a new law threatens the future of Paleoamerican research. Here, papers by leading Paleoamerican specialists make a strong case that the Clovis-first model, which proposed the Americas were only peopled once about 11,500 radiocarbon years ago by a small group of hunters from Siberia, can no longer be considered valid. New research suggests the Americas were peopled more than once by distinctly different populations. In 1990 Congress passed the Native American Graves and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA). It mandates the return of human skeletal remains to modern tribal groups if cultural affiliation can be demonstrated. Content sections include Clovis, regional ... |
