Jimmy Carter's Depression-era boyhood on a Georgia farm, before the civil rights movement that changed it and the country. James Earl "Jimmy" Carter Jr. (born October 1, 1924) is an American politician who served as the 39th President of the United States from 1977 to 1981. In 2002, he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his work with the Carter Center. Carter, a Democrat raised in rural Georgia, was a peanut farmer who served two terms as a Georgia State Senator, from 1963 to 1967, and one as the Governor of Georgia, from 1971 to 1975. He was elected President in 1976, defeating incumbent President Gerald Ford in a relatively close election; the Electoral College margin of 57 votes was the closest at that time since 1916. His presidency has drawn medium-low responses from historians, with many considering him to have brought greater accomplishment with his post-presidency work. He set up the Carter Center in 1982 as his base for advancing human rights. He has also traveled extensively to conduct peace negotiations, observe elections, and advance disease prevention and eradication in developing nations. Additionally, Carter is a key figure in the Habitat for Humanity project. He has been the longest-retired president in American history since September 2012, when he surpassed Herbert Hoover. He is also the first president to mark the 40th anniversary of his election. More

In this work the author compares the evolving matrix of race and class relations in two societies that were widely regarded at the time as being the most pervasively racist in the world. The author was particularly interested in the origins of the system and ideology called segregation, which emerged in the American South after about 1890 and in South Africa around the time of the Union in 1910. One of the characteristics of segregation was that to some degree there was accommodation to and tacit acceptance on the part of those whom segregation was designed to control. More

The definitive biography of Tsien Hsue-Shen, the pioneer of the American space age who was mysteriously accused of being a communist, deported, and became, to America's continuing chagrin, the father of the Chinese missile program. Iris Shun-Ru Chang (March 28, 1968 – November 9, 2004) was an American journalist, author and political activist.

Her first book, Thread of the Silkworm tells the life story of the Chinese professor, Qian Xuesen (or Tsien Hsue-shen) during the Red Scare in the 1950s. Qian was one of the founders of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, and for many years helped the military of the United States debrief scientists from Nazi Germany. He was suddenly accused of being a spy and a member of the Communist Party USA, and was under house arrest from 1950 to 1955. Qian left for the People's Republic of China in 1955. Upon his return to China, Qian developed the Dongfeng missile program, and later the Silkworm missile, which was used by the Iraqi military during its war on Iran and against the United States-led coalitions during the Persian Gulf War and the 2003 invasion of Iraq.
