Through a historical analysis of the link between Italian American migration in the 20th century and the investigation of the minutes of the Board of Directors and the financial statements of the ...American Chamber of Commerce in Italy, this book provides a privileged observation point for the study of the economic relations between Italy and the United States throughout the twentieth century. Showing that the Chamber played a fundamental role in highlighting the changes of Italian economy and society, and in strengthening the cooperation between the two countries, it retraces a long-lasting tradition of trade and business, and depicts a solid and enduring relationship between Italy and the United States.
Artfully curated by James R. Hansen, A Reluctant Icon:
Letters to Neil Armstrong is a companion volume to Dear
Neil Armstrong: Letters to the First Man from All Mankind ,
collecting hundreds more ...letters Armstrong received after first
stepping on the moon until his death in 2012. Providing context and
commentary, Hansen has assembled the letters by the following
themes: religion and belief; anger, disappointment, and
disillusionment; quacks, conspiracy theorists, and ufologists;
fellow astronauts and the world of flight; the corporate world;
celebrities, stars, and notables; and last messages.
Taken together, both collections provide fascinating insights
into the world of an iconic hero who took that first giant leap
onto lunar soil willingly and thereby stepped into the public eye
with reluctance. Space enthusiasts, historians, and lovers of all
things related to flight will not want to miss this book.
From a review of the first edition:
"For those of us whose minds unhinge at the sheer immensity of the Library of Congress, with its maze of corridors, multilayered stacks and circuitous subterranean ...passages, this study will prevent many a false step."
-Smithsonian
Since the first edition of this book appeared in 1972, there have been many changes in the Library, including a massive reorganization begun in 1977 under the leadership of Daniel J. Boorstin, the present Librarian of Congress. This completely revised and updated look at the Library brings the story up to date, discussing the Library's history, how it works, how the user can take advantage of its many services, where it is going, and how it meets the wide-ranging needs of Congress, other federal government offices, and the library, scholarly, and creative worlds. The authors emphasize the recent impact of technology on what is the largest information-storage and retrieval "machine" in the world.
Lively writing and accessible language make this book an ideal introduction to the Library of Congress for the visitor, the first-time user, or the general reader, but it is also a must for every library and librarian, as well as an excellent textbook for library administration courses. The information it contains will make it of great interest even to the most experienced users of the Library.
