Not from a library. vii + 146 pages. The National Purpose was a highly influential, five-part public debate and essay symposium jointly sponsored by Life magazine and The New York Times that aimed to address a widespread anxiety that post-war America had become overly materialistic, affluent, and complacent, losing its foundational sense of mission in the face of the escalating Cold War. The series emerged at a critical cultural and political juncture the end of the Eisenhower administration and the dawn of the 1960 presidential campaign. Spurred by massive economic growth, intellectual critiques like John Kenneth Galbraith's The Affluent Society, and Soviet advancements like Sputnik, policymakers and journalists feared Americans were prioritizing personal comfort over national survival. The series sought to explicitly redefine the country's collective goals. The symposium featured ten prominent American leaders, intellectuals, and public figures who published long-form essays in the pages of Life and The New York Times. Notable contributors included: Adlai Stevenson: The former Democratic presidential nominee argued that America needed to "extend our vision. to all mankind" rather than retreating into private wealth. David Sarnoff: The head of RCA argued for a aggressive, renewed dedication to democratic traditions specifically tailored to fighting and defeating global Communism. Billy Graham: The famed evangelist diagnosed a "moral and spiritual cancer" in the country, warning that an obsession with personal luxury was robbing citizens of their individual and national character. Walter Lippmann & James Reston: The legendary political commentators argued that the country was stagnant and waiting for a political innovator—asserting that a great nation requires decisive presidential leadership to guide public resolve. Other Authors: The series also featured essays from Archibald MacLeish, John W. Gardner, Clinton Rossiter, John K. Jessup, and defense strategist Albert Wohlstetter. The articles generated enormous public discussion and heavily shaped the rhetoric of the 1960 election, directly influencing John F. Kennedy's "New Frontier" campaign, which focused on sacrifice and national renewal.…

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a pioneering document on the subject of plant diseases affecting crops in Nicaragua. The author was a plant pathologist working for the Servicio Tecnico Agricola de Nicaragua in cooperation with the US Department of Agriculture. While Nicaragua has a rich agricultural history and is a major producer of a wide range of crops, relatively little scientific work on the diseases affecting those crops had been previously done. This book sought to remedy that by creating a record and descriptive list of diseases occurring in the country, based largely on the author's field work and observations. The book is an important contribution to the study of plant diseases in Nicaragua and the broader field of plant pathology. It provides a baseline of knowledge that can be built upon by future research and is a valuable reference for scientists, farmers, agriculturalists, and students. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book builds on the tradition of the first checklist that was published in North America over 100 years ago. The author, a respected expert in the field, presents a thorough examination of the current state of rust fungi (Uredinales) research in North America. These fungi are significant plant pathogens that cause diseases in a wide range of plants. A taxonomic framework for classifying the rust fungi of North America is developed and used to guide the presentation of species-level names, ensuring the book's utility as a reference work for researchers. Furthermore, the author masterfully interweaves historical summaries with discussions of recently described and newly introduced species, providing readers with a rich contextual understanding. The author also offers novel interpretations of the taxonomy of rust fungi and tackles complex nomenclatural issues that have long plagued the field. Ultimately, the insights in this book advance our understanding of rust fungi's evolutionary history and pave the way for future research.
