Indianapolis, IN: The Bobbs-Merrill Company, 1938. First Edition [stated], presumed first printing. Hardcover. 334 pages. Frontis illustration. Illustrations. Notes. Sources. Bibliography. Index. Inscribed (to Wood Gray) by the author on the fep. DJ, in a plastic sleeve, has wear and soiling. Derived from a Kirkus review: This is a book that should interest everyone, for this is the story of the terrific battle Tyler, precipitated into the presidency, put up for his ideals of government, and specifically of the battle regarding the national banking problems. Attacked openly and undercover by Clay, disowned by his own party, attacked by a mob, threatened with impeachment, Tyler still held firm. Little has been written about him. This is not a personal biography, but a picture of a man and a period. It has singular resemblances to conditions today. More

Evaluates the second half of the twentieth century in light of its first fifty years, chronicling how the world transformed from a dark era of international communism and nuclear weapons to a time of political and economic freedom. John Lewis Gaddis (born 1941) is an American international relations scholar, military historian, and writer. He is the Robert A. Lovett Professor of Military and Naval History at Yale University. He is best known for his work on the Cold War and grand strategy, and he has been hailed as the "Dean of Cold War Historians" by The New York Times. Gaddis is also the official biographer of the seminal 20th-century American statesman George F. Kennan. George F. Kennan: An American Life, his biography of Kennan, won the 2012 Pulitzer Prize for Biography or Autobiography. His most famous work is the highly influential Strategies of Containment, which analyzes in detail the theory and practice of containment that was employed against the Soviet Union by Cold War American presidents; his 1983 distillation of post-revisionist scholarship similarly became a major channel for guiding subsequent Cold War research. The Cold War, praised by John Ikenberry as a "beautifully written panoramic view of the Cold War, full of illuminations and shrewd judgments," was an examination of the history and effects of the Cold War than had been previously possible, and won Gaddis the 2006 Harry S. Truman Book Prize. More

Gans (born May 7, 1927) is a German-born American sociologist who taught at Columbia University from 1971 to 2007. One of the most influential sociologists of his generation, Gans came to America in 1940 as a refugee from Nazi Germany and has sometimes described his scholarly work as an immigrant's attempt to understand America. He trained in sociology at the University of Chicago and in social planning at the University of Pennsylvania. Although Gans views his career as spanning six fields of research, he initially made his reputation as a critic of urban renewal in the early 1960s. His book, The Urban Villagers, described Boston's diverse West End neighborhood, where he mainly studied its Italian-American working class community. The book is well known for its critical analysis of the area's clearance as an alleged "slum" and the West Enders' displacement from their neighborhood. His book The Levittowners was based on years of participant-observation in New Jersey's Levitt-built suburb in Willingboro, observing how a set of new homeowners came together to establish the community's formal and informal organizations. Demonstrating the inaccuracy of the depiction of the postwar suburbs as homogeneous, conformist and anomic, Gans showed that Levittown was a typical lower middle class suburb, the residents' class and other differences structuring the social and political life of the community.

When Wolfensohn took over at the World Bank in 1995, he viewed himself as a spiritual successor to a former World Bank chief, Robert McNamara. He was born in Sydney, Australia, and is a graduate of the University of Sydney and Harvard Business School; he was also an Olympic fencer. He worked for various companies in Britain and the United States before forming his own investment firm. Wolfensohn became an American citizen in 1980, requiring him to renounce his Australian citizenship although he eventually regained it in 2010. He served two terms as President of the World Bank on the nomination of U.S. President Bill Clinton, and has since held various positions with charitable organizations. More
