Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'Roosevelt and the Caribbean' offers an in-depth examination of Theodore Roosevelt's influential foreign policy in the Caribbean region during his presidency. Written by Howard C. Hill, this scholarly study explores the strategic, political, and economic motivations behind the United States' increasing involvement in the West Indies and Central America at the dawn of the twentieth century.The work meticulously analyzes key historical events, including the acquisition of the Panama Canal Zone, the administration of the Dominican Republic's finances, and the complexities of Cuban-American relations. Hill provides a detailed account of the development and implementation of the Roosevelt Corollary to the Monroe Doctrine, illustrating how Roosevelt's 'Big Stick' diplomacy transformed the United States into a dominant police power in the Western Hemisphere.Ideal for students of American history and international relations, this volume remains a foundational text for understanding the roots of modern American interventionism and the shaping of geopolitical landscapes in the Caribbean. Through rigorous research, 'Roosevelt and the Caribbean' illuminates the interplay between executive leadership and the expansion of national interests abroad.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

His brother, Christian, joined him a decade later. By 1875 their firm, renamed Herter Brothers, was supplying the White House with furnishings, as it had been doing for some of America's wealthiest families since 1858. During this opulent period, Herter Brothers could claim to be the leading cabinetmaking and decorating firm in the country. The best of the Herter Brothers' furniture and interiors are displayed in 133 color and 167 black-and-white illustrations, including many close-up details as well as comparative work by rival fine cabinetmakers of the time in New York and Europe. Herter Brothers tells the story of the company from its earliest manifestations, when Gustave worked with other partners and alone, through his partnership with his brother, to Christian's years as head of the firm and the end of his tenure ; Katherine S. Howe is the director of the Rienzi house museum for European decorative arts in the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston.; Peter C. Marzio. Peter was the director of the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston, a post he held for almost three decades; born into a working-class immigrant family, becoming the first in his family to graduate from High School. At Juniata College he became inspired by the art and museum world, deciding to make this his career. He went on to earn a doctorate in art and American history from the University of Chicago. He served as curator of prints and drawings at the Smithsonian and then as director and chief executive officer of the Corcoran Gallery of Art, before becoming the director in Houston. ; Philippe de Montebello is a French and American museum director. He served from 1977 to 2008 as the director of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. On his retirement, he was both the longest-serving director in the institution's history and the third longest-serving director of any major art museum in the world; He immigrated to the United States of America in the 1950s, and became a naturalized citizen of the US in 1955. He was educated in New York City at the Lycée Français de New York, graduated from Harvard University with a degree in art history, and earned an MA from New York University, after which he embarked on a career in Fine Arts. He became the Director of the Metropolitan Museum in 1977 and has become widely known as the public face of the museum.; Ned Rifkin joined the staff of the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden in December 1986 as the first chief curator for exhibitions. ; Contents: A European context, 1840-80 : England / Simon Jervis.
