Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. In 1957, the University of Chicago Press asked acclaimed best-selling historian Daniel J. Boorstin to oversee a series of accessible yet authoritative books that, together, would tell the whole history of the American people. The result, published over the course of nearly half a century, is the "Chicago History of American Civilization" series, which provides a nuanced and vibrant portrait of the United States from its inception through the twentieth century. Scholars across many disciplines contributed, and the series covers a broad range of topics, as disparate as the War of 1812, immigration, and American folklore. While the series is certainly eclectic, the books share both ambition and authority - they have been staples for teachers and general readers alike. The authors included in this series represent some of the greatest academic talents ever to turn their mind to the American past. Thus the University of Chicago Press is excited to offer new editions of three of the series' best-known books. In "The Birth of the Republic, 1763-89", Edmund S. Morgan shows how the challenge of British taxation started Americans on a search for constitutional principles to protect their freedom, and eventually led to the Revolution. By demonstrating that the founding fathers' political philosophy was not grounded in theory, but rather grew out of their own immediate needs, Morgan paints a vivid portrait of how the founders' own experiences shaped their passionate convictions, and these in turn were incorporated into the Constitution and other governmental documents. "The Birth of the Republic" is the classic account of the beginnings of the American government, and in this fourth edition the original text is supplemented with a new foreword by Joseph J. Ellis and a historiographic essay by Rosemarie Zagarri.…

Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. These revelatory stories of American heroes and their undaunted courage will forever alter our understanding of American history. From the best-selling author of Benjamin Franklin comes a remarkable work that will help redefine our notion of American heroism. As Edmund S. Morgan, the recent winner of the Pulitzer Prize, explains, Americans have long been obsessed with their heroes, but the men and women dramatically portrayed here are not celebrated for the typical banal reasons contained in founding father hagiography. Effortlessly challenging those who persist in revering the tropes and myths of American history, Edmund S. Morgan demonstrates here that the past is just not the way it seems. Praise for American Heroes and Edmund S. Morgan: Edmund Morgan is not just the foremost American historian writing today; he is also one of the wisest and most humane of scholars. This splendid collection, including craftsmanship from some seventy years, beautifully conveys the lucidity, learning, and intellectual wonder of Morgan's work at its finest.-Sean Wilentz For clarity, scholarly depth, and sheer insight, there is simply no historian of early America comparable to Edmund Morgan. Here again, astonishingly, are an amazing array of essays that shed new light on the founding era and its range of personalities. They are indeed 'heroes, ' but Morgan sees them from a delightfully subversive, witty, even edgy, sense of history.-David W. Blight, Yale University, author of A Slave No More To Edmund S. Morgan, for his brilliant scholarship as one of America's most distinguished historians. With elegant prose, fresh perspective, and exhaustive research, he has enhanced our understanding of American colonial history by challenging traditions and assumptions about the birth of our nation and by bringing to life the people and ideas that shaped America's destiny.-2000 National Humanities Medal.…
