LETTEBS AKD EECOLLECTIO S OF ALEXANDER AGASSIZ WITH A SKETCH OF HIS LIFE AND WORK EDITED BY G R AGASSIZ WITH PORTRAITS AND OTHER ILLUSTRATIONS BOSTON AND NEW YORK HOUGHTON MIFFLIN COMPANY COPYRIGHT, 1913, BY GEORGE R AGASSI2 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED Published October IQI PREFACE who attempts to present a faithful impression of Alexander Agassizs life одсжы is confronted with unusual difficulties, for Ms versatile and restless energy covered a very extraordinarily wide field, and his personality was so large that we are hampered in our view of him by our own limitations The morphologist considers his earlier work the most important the geologist, that his reputation rests chiefly on his extensive investigations of coral reefs the zoologist remembers his vast collec tions of marine life gathered in a dozen extended voy ages widely scattered over the surface of the globe and to still others he appears as the creator of a vast museum and one of the greatest benefactors of the oldest univer sity in America while those who delve among ancient civilizations and primitive races might well be surprised at the extent of his poaching in their preserves, a mere detour in his many wanderings in the pursuit of science or search of health In the world of affairs he was known as an extremely capable and successful mining man, who was said to employ his leisure moments in some sort of scientific study When I first began to collect material for a life of my father, I hoped that it would be possible to tell it in his own words But grave objections to such a plan soon appeared one of the foremost being the mysteri ous disappearance of most of his later correspondence with his stepmother It is, moreover, a much more dif vi PBEFACE ficult matter to make a characteristic collection of letters now than it was in past generations Dautres temps, dautres moeitrs to-day we no longer keep trunks full of old letters stored in our attics, nor do we write the leisurely and carefully penned epistles of our fore fathers, while the roomy lofts that harbored them have vanished After it became apparent that it would be necessary to cast this book in its present form, I would gladly have handed the material to a more experienced bio grapher Since no suitable person was available, it has fallen to me to complete the work, for lack of a fitting Boswell I wish to take this opportunity of most cordially thanking the many individuals who have kindly allowed me to examine my fathers letters and have assisted in numerous other ways I trust that they will consider their number a sufficient excuse for not mentioning them personally Most especially do I wish to express my warm appre ciation for the help of the following persons first and foremost, Mr Samuel Henshaw, the present Director of the so-called Agassiz Museum, who has given no end of invaluable assistance my wife, whose sym pathy and help have been no small factors in finishing this book my aunt, Mrs BL L Higginson, who has furnished much of the material for the earlier pages Miss Elizabeth H Clark, my fathers secretary for nearly thirty years Sir John Murray Dr A G Mayer Dr H B Bigelow Professor H L Clark and the pre sent Mr Q A Shaw My warmest thanks are also due to Professor Bar rett Wendell, who has kindly read the manuscript, PREFACE vii and has suggested many final touches I likewise beg to acknowledge my indebtedness to Mr E T Brewster, who has been at the pains to examine the work at two different stages, and has offered much valuable criticism, G E A CONTENTS I DESCENT AND BOYHOOD 1 II FIRST YEARS IN AMERICA 14 III THE MUSEUM BECOMES HIS HEADQUARTERS 28 IV THE CALUMET AND HECLA MINE 53 V THE REVISION OF THE ECHINI 91 VI LAKE TITICACA 124 VII THE NEWPORT LABORATORY 151 VIII THREE CRUISES OF THE BLAKE 165 IX MEXICO AND INDIA 191 X MORE WANDERINGS AND WORK 213 XL THE FIRST ALBATROSS EXPEDITION , 243 XII CORAL BEEFS 269 XIII.  2009 г Твердый переплет, 502 стр ISBN 1113205296.

Who lost Iran? How and why did a country, never richer, never more educated, its women never more liberated erupt in a fundamentalist revolution? the answer can be found in the enthralling life and tragic death of one man Amir Abbas Hoveyda was a central figure in the historic struggle between modernity and tradition in Iran -- a struggle pitting Western одсжя cosmopolitanism against Persian isolationism, secularism against religious fundamentalism, and ultimately civil society and democracy against authoritarianism Born in Tehran in 1919 to a family of solid middle class comforts and faded aristocratic roots, Hoveyda was an elegant, cultivated, well-read, and witty man, educated in Beirut, London, and Brussels After entering the Iranian foreign service in 1942, he served in France, Germany, and Turkey, then returned to Iran in 1956 to join the National Iranian Oil Company In 1965, the shah appointed him the country's prime minister Hoveyda would serve faithfully in that post for thirteen years Amir Abbas Hoveyda embodied the aspirations, the accomplishments and also the failures of a whole generation of Iranian technocrats -- mostly Western-trained -- who sought to free Iran from the travails of poverty and repression and guide it into the modern age Hoveyda would be both a leader and a victim of that effort On the eve of the Islamic Revolution, the shah, attempting to turn the rising tide of revolt by offering a scapegoat, ordered the prime minister's arrest When the Pahlavi regime fell, Hoveyda chose not to flee, voluntarily surrendering to the new Islamic authorities His hope was for a public trial; instead the infamous "Hanging Judge" presided over a secret and summary trial In telling the story of Hoveyda's life, the author has not only laid bare the development of Iranian society during a pivotal period (1919 1978) but has also unearthed important new material on U S -Iranian relations From 1957 onward, Amir Abbas Hoveyda played critical roles in dealing with U S foreign policy and fundamentalist Islamic opposition in Iran Through careful use of hitherto-unexamined archival materials, unpublished letters, and personal journals, along with extensive interviews with more than a hundred of Hoveyda's relatives, friends, and foes, the author has brilliantly caught the pathos and passion of Hoveyda's life and times The Persian Sphinx is biography at its most powerful and will reward the scholar and the general reader alike.  2009 г Мягкая обложка, 402 стр ISBN 1933823348.

Gertrude Tennant’s life was remarkable for its length (1819–1918), but even more so for the influence she achieved as an unsurpassed London hostess The salon she established when widowed in her early fifties attracted legions of celebrities, among them William Gladstone and Benjamin Disraeli, Oscar Wilde, Mark Twain, Thomas Huxley, John одсзд Everett Millais, Henry James, and Robert Browning In her youth she had a fling with Gustave Flaubert, and in her later years she became the redoubtable mother-in-law to the explorer Henry Morton Stanley But as a woman in a male-dominated world, Mrs Tennant has been remembered mainly as a footnote in the lives of eminent men This book recovers the lost life of Gertrude Tennant, drawing on a treasure trove of recently discovered family papers—thousands of letters, including two dozen original letters from Flaubert to Tennant; dozens of diaries; and many other unpublished documents relating to Stanley and other famous figures of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries David Waller presents Gertrude Tennant’s life in colorful detail, placing her not only at the heart of a multigenerational, matriarchal family epic but also at the center of European social, literary, and intellectual life for the best part of a century.  2009 г Твердый переплет, 308 стр ISBN 0300139357.

Marcus Aurelius (121–180 AD) is one of the great figures of antiquity who still speaks to us today, more than two thousand years after his death His Meditations has been compared by John Stuart Mill to the Sermon on the Mount A guide to how we should live, it remains one of the most widely read books from the classical world But Marcus Aurelius was much одсзю more than a philosopher As emperor he stabilized the empire, issued numerous reform edicts, and defended the borders with success His life itself represented the fulfillment of Plato’s famous dictum that mankind will prosper only when philosophers are rulers and rulers philosophers Frank McLynn’s Marcus Aurelius, based on all available original sources, is the definitive and most vivid biography to date of this monumental historical figure.  2009 г Твердый переплет, 720 стр ISBN 0306818302.

On the occasion of the 200th anniversary of Abraham Lincoln’s birth and in conjunction with the Library of Congress 2009 Bicentennial Exhibition, In Lincoln’s Hand offers an unprecedented look at perhaps our greatest president through vivid images of his handwritten letters, speeches, and even childhood notebooks—many never before одсиб made available to the public Edited by leading Lincoln scholars Joshua Wolf Shenk and Harold Holzer, this companion volume to the Library of Congress exhibition offers a fresh and intimate perspective on a man whose thoughts and words continue to affect history To underscore the resonance of Lincoln’s writings on contemporary culture, each manuscript is accompanied by a reflection on Lincoln by a prominent American from the arts, politics, literature, or entertainment, including Toni Morrison, Sam Waterston, Robert Pinsky, Gore Vidal, and presidents Carter, George H W , and George W Bush While Lincoln’s words are quite well known, the original manuscripts boast a unique power and beauty and provide rare insight into the creative process In this collection we can see the ebb and flow of Lincoln’s thoughts, emotions, hopes, and doubts We can see where he paused to dip his pen in the ink or to capture an idea We can see where he added a word or phrase, and where he crossed out others, searching for the most precise, and concise, expression In these marks on the page, Lincoln’s character is available to us with a profound immediacy From such icons as the Gettysburg Address and the inaugural speeches to seldom-seen but superb rarities, here is the world as Lincoln saw and shaped it in words and images that resound to this very day.  2009 г Твердый переплет, 208 стр ISBN 0553807420.

Revered by many Texans and other Americans as "the People's Senator," Ralph Webster Yarborough (1903-1996) fought for "the little people" in a political career that places him in the ranks of the most influential leaders in Texas history The only U S Senator representing a former Confederate state to vote for every significant одсию piece of modern civil rights legislation, Yarborough became a cornerstone of Lyndon Johnson's Great Society programs in the areas of education, environmental preservation, and health care In doing so, he played a major role in the social and economic modernization of Texas and the American South He often defied conventional political wisdom with his stands against powerful political interests and with his vocal opposition to the Vietnam War Yet to this day, his admirers speak of Yarborough as an inspiration for public service and a model of political independence and integrity This biography offers the first in-depth look at the life and career of Ralph Yarborough Patrick L Cox draws on Yarborough's personal and professional papers, as well as on extensive interviews with the Senator and his associates, to follow Yarborough from his formative years in East Texas through his legal and judicial career in the 1930s, decorated military service in World War II, unsuccessful campaigns for Texas governor in the 1950s, distinguished tenure in the United States Senate from 1957 to 1970, and return to legal practice through the 1980s Although Yarborough's liberal politics set him at odds with most of the Texas power brokers of his time, including Lyndon Johnson, his accomplishments have become part of the national fabric Medicare recipients, beneficiaries of the Cold War G I Bill, and even beachcombers on Padre Island National Seashore all share in the lasting legacy of Senator Ralph Yarborough.  2009 г Мягкая обложка, 368 стр ISBN 0292722168.

Since the 1960s, Martin Luther King, Jr , has personified black leadership with his use of direct action protests against white authority A century ago, in the era of Jim Crow, Booker T Washington pursued a different strategy to lift his people In this compelling biography, Norrell reveals how conditions in the segregated South led Washington to одсдт call for a less contentious path to freedom and equality He urged black people to acquire economic independence and to develop the moral character that would ultimately gain them full citizenship Although widely accepted as the most realistic way to integrate blacks into American life during his time, Washington’s strategy has been disparaged since the 1960s The first full-length biography of Booker T in a generation, Up from History recreates the broad contexts in which Washington worked: He struggled against white bigots who hated his economic ambitions for blacks, African-American intellectuals like W E B Du Bois who resented his huge influence, and such inconstant allies as Theodore Roosevelt Norrell details the positive power of Washington’s vision, one that invoked hope and optimism to overcome past exploitation and present discrimination Indeed, his ideas have since inspired peoples across the Third World that there are many ways to struggle for equality and justice Up from History reinstates this extraordinary historical figure to the pantheon of black leaders, illuminating not only his mission and achievement but also, poignantly, the man himself (20081015).  2009 г Твердый переплет, 528 стр ISBN 067403211X.

In this stirring biography, Samuel Adams joins the first tier of founding fathers, a rank he has long deserved With eloquence equal to that of Thomas Jefferson and Tom Paine, and with a passionate love of God, Adams helped ignite the flame of liberty and made sure it glowed even during the Revolution's darkest hours He was, as Jefferson later observed, одсжо "truly the man of the Revolution "In a role that many Americans have not fully appreciated until now, Adams played a pivotal role in the events leading up to the bloody confrontation with the British Believing that God had willed a free American nation, he was among the first patriot leaders to call for independence from England He was ever the man of action: He saw the opportunity to stir things up after the Boston Massacre and helped plan and instigate the Boston Tea Party, though he did not actually participate in it A fiery newspaper editor, he railed ceaselessly against "taxation without representation "In a relentless blizzard of articles and speeches, Adams, a man of New England, argued the urgency of revolution When the top British general in America, Thomas Gage, offered a general amnesty in June 1775 to all revolutionaries who would lay down their arms, he excepted only two men, John Hancock and Samuel Adams: These two were destined for the gallows It was this pair, author Ira Stoll argues, whom the British were pursuing in their fateful march on Lexington and Concord In the tradition of David McCullough's John Adams, Joseph Ellis's The Founding Brothers, and Walter Isaacson's Benjamin Franklin, Ira Stoll's Samuel Adams vividly re-creates a world of ideas and action, reminding us that none of these men of courage knew what we know today: that they would prevail and make history anew The idea that especially inspired Adams was religious in nature: He believed that God had intervened on behalf of the United States and would do so as long asits citizens maintained civic virtue "We shall never be abandoned by Heaven while we act worthy of its aid and protection," Adams insisted A central thesis of this biography is that religion in large part motivated the founding of America A gifted young historian and newspaperman, Ira Stoll has written a gripping story about the man who was the revolution's moral conscience Sure to be discussed widely, this book reminds us who Samuel Adams was, why he has been slighted by history, and why he must be remembered.  2009 г Твердый переплет, 601 стр ISBN 1410413802.

Boyhood in a small Connecticut town, the imprint of a free-thinking father, a formal music education at Yale University, a lucrative career as a New York City insurance executive, and a personal philosophy balancing individuality and idealism: these are the conditions that formed and informed the controversial music of Charles Ives His works одсжр were rescued from obscurity--in many instances, long after their creation--and introduced to the concert world For some time the accomplishments of this Yankee renegade have been recognized as central to the American musical experience His Third Symphony, conceived early in the twentieth century and only given its premiere in 1946, was identified by the composer himself as a pivotal effort in his compositional odyssey and, perhaps ironically, earned him the Pulitzer Prize in 1947 In this study Dr Zobel reviews the complicated narrative of the Symphony's composition, explains why Ives considered it a turning point between the "old ways" and the "new ways," explores the structural implications of its camp-meeting program and the sophisticated manipulation of hymn tunes in its fabric, and places it in the context of Ives's idiosyncratic worldview In the process he interprets the timing of its first public performance as a means to appreciate evolving attitudes toward modernism in the American musical establishment The text is enhanced by a sampling of critical commentary dating from the past sixty years and a later one with these details of Ives's original conception restored.  2009 г Мягкая обложка, 146 стр ISBN 157647142X.

In 1976, while on assignment in Jamaica for Time magazine, David Burnett photographed Bob Marley for the first time, and Burnett became so entranced by Marley’s charisma that he continued to document the reggae king throughout his groundbreaking European “Exodus” tour Burnett’s vision, coupled with Marley’s larger-than-life charisma, одсие resulted in an amazing collection of images, only a handful of which appeared in the Time article The other photos — more than 200 in all — appear for the first time in Soul Rebel This stunning visual biography offers a rare look at Marley’s personal life in Jamaica, as well as the exodus from his home country that culminated in his tragic death in 1981 Though it focused on Marley, Burnett’s work also canvassed a wide array of up-and-coming reggae talents, providing striking early looks at Peter Tosh, Lee Scratch Perry, Burning Spear, and Ras Michael Compelling and incomparably candid, Soul Rebel is a remarkable testament to the legacy of a legend.  2009 г Твердый переплет, 200 стр ISBN 1933784261.

Judith Sargent Murray (1751-1820), poet, essayist, playwright, and one of the most thoroughgoing advocates of women's rights in early America, was as well known in her own day as Abigail Adams or Martha Washington Her name, though, has virtually disappeared from the public consciousness Thanks to the recent discovery of Murray's papers--including одсиу some 2,500 personal letters--historian Sheila L Skemp has documented the compelling story of this talented and most unusual eighteenth-century woman Born in Gloucester, Massachussetts, Murray moved to Boston in 1793 with her second husband, Universalist minister John Murray There she became part of the city's literary scene Two of her plays were performed at Federal Street Theater, making her the first American woman to have a play produced in Boston There, as well, she wrote and published her magnum opus, The Gleaner, a three-volume "miscellany" that included poems, essays, and the novel-like story "Margaretta " After 1800, Murray's output diminished and her hopes for literary renown faded Suffering from the backlash against women's rights that had begun to permeate American society, struggling with economic difficulties, and concerned about providing the best possible education for her daughter, she devoted little time to writing But while her efforts diminished, they never ceased Murray was determined to transcend the boundaries that limited women of her era and worked tirelessly to have women granted the same right to the "pursuit of happiness" immortalized in the Declaration of Independence She questioned the meaning of gender itself, emphasizing the human qualities men and women shared, arguing that the apparent distinctions were the consequence of nurture, not nature Although she was disappointed in the results of her efforts, Murray nevertheless left a rich intellectual and literary legacy, in which she challenged the new nation to fulfill its promise of equality to all citizens.  2009 г Твердый переплет, 512 стр ISBN 0812241401.
