Ethical and Social Theory ... 7. Bibliography 1. Life and Works John Dewey was born on October 20, 1859, the third of four sons born to Archibald Sprague Dewey and Lucina Artemesia Rich of Burlington, Vermont. The eldest sibling died in infancy, but the three surviving brothers attended the public school and the University of Vermont in Burlington with John. While at the University of Vermont, Dewey was exposed to evolutionary theory through the teaching of G.H. Perkins and Lessons in Elementary Physiology, a text by T.H. Huxley, the famous English evolutionist. The theory of natural selection continued to have a life-long impact upon Dewey's thought, suggesting the barrenness of static models of nature, and the importance of focusing on the interaction between the human organism and its environment when considering questions of psychology and the theory of knowledge. The formal teaching in philosophy at the University of Vermont was confined for the most part to the school of Scottish realism, a school of thought that Dewey soon rejected, but his close contact both before and after graduation with his teacher of philosophy, H.A.P. Torrey, a learned scholar with broader philosophical interests and sympathies, was later accounted by Dewey himself as "decisive" to his philosophical development. After graduation in 1879, Dewey taught high school for two years, during which the idea of pursuing a career in philosophy took hold. With this nascent ambition in mind, he sent a philosophical essay to W.T. Harris, then editor of the

Mango Book "Coppa Monte" includes a history of Italian immigrants who worked for the American Railroads. The focus is on the Erie Railroad, because my father and many other immigrant Italians worked for this railroad during the period mentioned. In the early 1880s as immigrants exited the Castle Garden immigration depot; they were solicited by railroad representatives to work in the railroad repair facilities. (Castle Garden is now known as Battery Park at the foot of Manhattan in New York) More 2 The Italian Army and the North African campaign During World War Two, I was a school boy American born of Italian immigrant parents. I can still recall the Saturday matinee and the newsreel coverage of that war. Specifically I vividly remember the manner in which the Italian soldier was portrayed. Scenes from North Africa, of thousands of Italian soldiers surrendering to a handful of British tanks. This newsreel bias implied that Italian soldiers would rather surrender to the enemy than fight. This seems to be the impression left with many in American society today.

128. Drought: A Paleo Perspective -- 20th Century Drought 20th century Drought However, the 1980s drought was not only the costliest in US history, but also the most expensive natural disaster of any kind to http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/paleo/drought/drght_history.html

20th Century Drought The Dust Bowl Drought The Dust Bowl drought was a natural disaster that severely affected much of the United States during the 1930s. The drought came in three waves, 1934, 1936, and 1939-40, but some regions of the High Plains experienced drought conditions for as many as eight years. The "dust bowl" effect was caused by sustained drought conditions compounded by years of land management practices that left topsoil susceptible to the forces of the wind. The soil, depleted of moisture, was lifted by the wind into great clouds of dust and sand which were so thick they concealed the sun for several days at a time. They were referred to as" black blizzards ". The agricultural and economic damage devastated residents of the Great Plains. The Dust Bowl drought worsened the already severe economic crises that many Great Plains farmers faced. In the early 1930s, many farmers were trying to recover from economic losses suffered during the Great Depression. To compensate for these losses, they began to increase their crop yields. High production drove prices down, forcing farmers to keep increasing their production to pay for both their equipment and their land. When the drought hit, farmers could no longer produce enough crops to pay off loans or even pay for essential needs. Even with Federal emergency aid, many Great Plains farmers could not withstand the economic crisis of the drought. Many farmers were forced off of their land, with one in ten farms changing possession at the peak of the farm transfers.

132. Jewish-American Literature Overview of 19th and 20th century Jewish writing in Yiddish and English, and criticism of recent Holocaust literature. http://www.jbuff.com/c021501.htm

Jewish-American Literature Commentary by Dr. Gerhard Falk Jewish-American Literature Jewish-American literature is now only about one century old if we include that literature which was written in Yiddish by immigrants between 1885 and 1935. Yiddish, however, is hardly used in America at the beginning of the 21st century so that anything foreign except some of the works of Goethe and Voltaire has no influence on the American Jew simply because he cannot read it. Yiddish writers were commonly radicals and secularists. From the time of the first volume of Yiddish poetry published in America in 1877 to the end of the Yiddish era in about 1975, Jewish-American writers always exhibited a strong interest in radical and hence secular ideas. Yiddish writers expressed themselves in poetry, in the theater, in novels, in newspapers and in intellectual books, papers and pamphlets. Throughout these five media ran, for the most part, a secular attitude most visible in the novel. The first Jewish novels written in America were written by immigrants. This was true not because there were no Jews here before the last two decades of the nineteenth century, but because those Jews who had come here before 1881 were very few, had arrived in the 17th century from Spain and Portugal and in the nineteenth century from Germany and had rapidly assimilated into the majority American culture. However, 1881 marked a major turning point in Jewish history. On March 1 of that year the Russian Czar, Alexander II, was assassinated. When

SPRING from FOUR SEASONS, c. 1899 Leaded Favrile glass Louis Comfort Tiffany (1848-1933) The Charles Hosmer Morse Museum of American Art houses the most comprehensive collection of the works of Louis Comfort Tiffany found anywhere, a major collection of American art pottery and representative collections of late-19th and early-20th century American paintings, graphics and the decorative arts. Founded by Jeannette Genius McKean in 1942 and named for her industrialist grandfather, its collections were built over a half century by Mrs. McKean and her husband, Hugh F. McKean. In the late 1950s they acquired major windows and architectural elements from Tiffany's fire-ravaged estate on Long Island and later the elements of his 1893 chapel for the World's Columbian Exposition. The complete chapel has been reassembled and is on exhibit at the Morse Museum. Hugh McKean, author of
