Walt Dierks illuminates the everyday lives and adventures of young kids coming of age in Brooklyn during World War II. The main goal of most of them: get out of the house. The street was where the action was. It could be a stickball game featuring a pink Spaldeen and a broomstick or hooking a ride on a passing trolley car. There were other diversions, some perfectly legal, some bordering or stepping over into forbidden territory. The war years offered an environment of added responsibility alo

This title brings together twenty-five writings by women who share their rich and varied World War II experiences, from serving in the military to working on the home front to preparing for the postwar world. By providing evidence of their active and resourceful roles in the war effort as workers, wives, and mothers, these women offer eloquent testimony that World War II was indeed everybody's war. Litoff and Smith combine pieces by well-known writers, such as Margaret Culkin Banning and Nancy Wilson Ross, with important-but largely forgotten-personal accounts by ordinary women living in extraordinary times. This volume is divided into the six sections listed below: Preparing for War In the Military At 'Far-Flung' Fronts On the Home Front War Jobs Preparing for the Postwar World

Previously published as an e-book, this is the 4th volume in the series of books - Fragments of Peace & War - 'A Monograph on the Poetry of Wilfred Owen and Some Aspects of his Life'. It seeks to contextualize his Poetry within the tremendous circumstances of the time, with emphasis on how those circumstances impacted on the cultural outlook of the general population; and as such was to be diversely expressed in Poetry. Accordingly, this book includes Poetry of other Poets published at the time - particularly that of some 'ordinary' 'Soldier Poets', published in September 1916 - that is, just after the first two months of Battle of the Somme, which began on 1st July 1916, giving rise to catastrophic losses in killed and wounded. It also includes the quite exceptional Poetry of Ian Mackenzie, as published in a small volume, in 1919; as well as equally exceptional Poetry by Isaac Rosenberg, Geoffrey Bache-Smith, Rupert Brooke and Charles Sorley, all which was published during, and immediately after, the War - all published or in preparation by the time of the first formal Cenotaph ceremony which took place in Whitehall, London, on a Monday, at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1919, when the whole Nation succumbed to a profound silence ... 'So smote was the forehead of the earth, that She lay in a daze as though dead'. This is the context of the unprecedented demand at that time for 'war-associated' Poetry - in which was sought, instinctively, a mass catharsis for the relief of profound mass grieving and traumatization. Thus it is that, here, Wilfred Owen's Poetry is 'era-anthologized' within that time's corpus of First World War 'War Poetry'.

This volume asks how Woolf conceptualized peace by exploring various experimental forms she created in response to violence and crisis. Across fifteen chapters written by an international array of scholars, this book draws out theoretical dimensions of Woolf’s aesthetics and deepens our understanding of her writing about war, ethics, feminism and European culture.

Edward Shils was one of the giants of sociological theory in the period after World War II. In this autobiography, written three years before his death in 1995, Shils reflects on the remarkable range of his life's work and activities, including founding and editing the journal "Minerva", being a central figure in the Congress of Cultural Freedom, serving as a founding member of the editorial board of "The Bulletin of Atomic Scientists", and being a member of the International Council on the Future of the University. Shils recognizes that a unity of concern runs through his many theoretical writings and activities. Early in his life, the concern was expressed as understanding the character of consensus. During the last fifteen years of his life, he refined his understanding of consensus through investigation of the nature of "collective self-consciousness." That concern was the structure and character of the moral order of a society, and, in particular, liberal, democratic society. Accompanying the autobiography are two unpublished essays, "Society, Collective Self-Consciousness and Collective Self-Consciousnesses" and "Collective Self-Consciousness and Rational Choice," two areas of intellectual concern discussed in the autobiography. The book contains fascinating discussion of many of the people Shils knew throughout his illustrious career: Robert Park, Louis Wirth, Talcott Parsons, Karl Mannheim, Michael Polanyi, Audrey Richards, Karl Popper, Robert Merton, and many others. They represent Shils' final formulations on the character of society and its moral order. As such, it is a most important contribution both to the history of the social sciences in the twentieth century and to sociological theory.
