Entrepreneurship and Innovation in Automobile Insurance Samuel P. Black Jr. and the Rise of Erie Insurance 1923-1961

Entrepreneurship and Innovation in Automobile Insurance Samuel P. Black Jr. and the Rise of Erie Insurance 1923-1961

Entrepreneurs play a central role in economic growth and development but how they do so is the subject of considerable debate. This book explains that process through an historical case study of an automobile insurance entrepreneur Samuel P. Black Jr. and Erie Insurance the company he helped build. It also recounts the largely untold history of American automobile insurance. One of this study's central themes is the role of innovation in the entrepreneurial process. The rise of Erie Insurance from a four-person enterprise in Erie Pennsylvania in 1925 to the fourteenth largest property-casualty insurer today was the result in part of Black's relentless push to innovate. His continual efforts to cut costs develop new products satisfy customers increase sales and improve operations all contributed greatly to the company's growth. A second theme is the automobile's dramatic impact on modern America. Its takeover of mass transportation provided the basis for the development of the automobile insurance industry and created many of the opportunities that Black and Erie Insurance capitalized on. These themes combine in the history of Black and Erie Insurance to illuminate the dynamic process by which the cultural social economic and technological environment creates opportunities that entrepreneurs and entrepreneurial firms exploit and how entrepreneurial actions stimulate economic growth. | Entrepreneurship and Innovation in Automobile Insurance Samuel P.

Mobility and Identity in US Genre Painting Painting at the Threshold

Mobility and Identity in US Genre Painting Painting at the Threshold

This book examines the portrayal of themes of boundary crossing itinerancy relocation and displacement in US genre paintings during the second half of the long nineteenth century (c. 1860–1910). Through four diachronic case studies the book reveals how the high-stakes politics of mobility and identity during this period informed the production and reception of works of art by Eastman Johnson (1824–1906) Enoch Wood Perry Jr. (1831–1915) Thomas Hovenden (1840–95) and John Sloan (1871–1951). It also complicates art history’s canonical understandings of genre painting as a category that seeks to reinforce social hierarchies and emphasize more rooted connections to place by instead privileging portrayals of social flux and geographic instability. The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history literature American studies and cultural geography. | Mobility and Identity in US Genre Painting Painting at the Threshold

Archetypal Nonviolence Jung King and Culture Through the Eyes of Selma

Archetypal Nonviolence Jung King and Culture Through the Eyes of Selma

Renée Moreau Cunningham’s unique study utilizes the psychology of C. G. Jung and the spiritual teachings of Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr. to explore how nonviolence works psychologically as a form of spiritual warfare confronting and transmuting aggression. Archetypal Nonviolence uses King’s iconic march from Selma to Montgomery a demonstration which helped introduce America to nonviolent philosophy on a mass scale as a metaphor for psychological and spiritual activism on an individual and collective level. Cunningham’s work explores the core wound of racism in America on both a collective and a personal level investigating how we hide from our own potential for evil and how the divide within ourselves can be bridged. The book demonstrates that the alchemical transmutation of aggression through a nonviolent ethos as shown in the Selma marches is important to understand as a beginning to something greater within the paradox of human violence and its bedfellow nonviolence. Archetypal Nonviolence explores how we can truly transform hatred by understanding how it operates within. It will be of great interest to Jungian analysts and analytical psychologists in practice and in training and to academics and students of Jungian and post-Jungian studies American history race and racism and nonviolent movements. | Archetypal Nonviolence Jung King and Culture Through the Eyes of Selma

Louis I. Kahn—Architect Remembering the Man and Those Who Surrounded Him

Louis I. Kahn—Architect Remembering the Man and Those Who Surrounded Him

Few people in the history of art and architecture have planted a seed of inspiration that grew to become a towering oak of lasting influence. There are those particularly colleagues and students of Louis I. Kahn who would say that he was one of these people. Certainly Kahn was one of the foremost architects of the twentieth century designing such famous landmarks as the National Assembly Building in Dhaka Bangladesh; the Salk Institute in La Jolla California; and the Kimbell Museum in Fort Worth Texas. In this commemorative volume Charles E. Dagit Jr. shows the power and influence that Kahn displayed at the University of Pennsylvania department of architecture in the 1960s. Since Dagit knew Kahn personally this is a factual history as well as a glimpse into Kahn's personal wisdom and humanity. Beginning with a prelude that starts with the author's undergraduate years at the University of Pennsylvania Dagit launches readers on an intellectual journey of how he first met Kahn. From there he details his experiences with Kahn and explores Kahn's interactions with Penn faculty members including Mario Romanach Robert LeRicolais and Aldo Giurgola. This first-hand account sheds fascinating new light on one of the most prominent architects of the twentieth century. | Louis I. Kahn—Architect Remembering the Man and Those Who Surrounded Him

The State in Theory and Practice

The State in Theory and Practice

This timeless classic by Harold J. Laski explains the nature of the modern state by examining its characteristics as revealed by its history. The State in Theory and Practice is a work that grows in significance rather than dwindles over time. This is because as Sidney A. Pearson Jr. points out Laski helped develop and expound the foundational arguments of the political left. After the collapse of the Soviet Union even on the hard left few people thought of Marxism at least in its classical formulation by Laski in the 1930s as a political alternative. Much of the interest in Laski seeks to separate the early Laski of pluralist parliamentary arguments from the later Laski of Marxism. Laski's appeal rests on subtle aspects of his science of politics that require a detailed examination before their full significance can be understood. The state is a work that operates at several layers of assumptions and implications. The significance of Laski starts with the observation that among many intellectuals on the left the political critique of liberal democracy remains as influential after the collapse of the Soviet Union as it was when Laski wrote. The leftist critique of classical liberalism is one of the touchstones of modern political thought and Laski remains part of that tradition. Laski is one of the links between what might be called the old left of the pre-World War II era and the new left of the 1960's and later.

The Common Law Tradition A Collective Portrait of Five Legal Scholars

The Common Law Tradition A Collective Portrait of Five Legal Scholars

This book commemorates a place and a time in American law teaching but more importantly an outlook: the common law tradition. That outlook was empirical and tolerant. These values were carried into expression by a group of people who were not part of a cult or faction nor ruled by the herd instinct. Now in paperback The Common Law Tradition is a collective portrait of five scholars who epitomize the tradition. The focus is Chicago in the 1960s. The five figures considered-Edward H. Levi Harry Kalven Jr. Karl Llewellyn Philip Kurland and Kenneth Culp Davis-did much to broaden the perspectives of the legal academy. Levi made use of sociology economics and comparative law. Kalven collaborated with sociologists on the Jury Project and with economists on tax law and auto compensation plans. Llewellyn's commitment to empirical research underpinned his work on the Uniform Commercial Code. Kurland's approach to constitutional law was highlighted by his insistence on the relevance of legal history. Davis was an energetic comparativist in his work on administrative law. What distinguished these Chicagoans is that their work was practical and rooted in the law and hence yielded concrete applications. The group's diversity the tolerant atmosphere in which they taught and wrote and the attachment of its individual members to empirical approaches differentiate them from today's legal scholars and make their ideas of continuing importance. | The Common Law Tradition A Collective Portrait of Five Legal Scholars

Racial Imagination and the American Dream The Peace-Maker The Prophet and The Politician

Racial Imagination and the American Dream The Peace-Maker The Prophet and The Politician

Although the phrase the American Dream dates from the 1930s the concept or idea of the American Dream is as old as the country. The values proclaimed in the Declaration of Independence and reaffirmed (and extended) in the Gettysburg Address have been continuously promoted by every American president. Moreover they form the basis of our national collective narrative as expressed through both elite and popular culture. The American Dream is intrinsically tied to the American Creed and American Exceptionalism. It is the foundation of our national identity the glue that holds together our individual aspirations. Yet until the mid-twentieth century the American Dream excluded African Americans. We as a nation—as an imagined community—could not imagine an integrated multiracial society with Blacks and Whites living together as equals. By examining the lives of the only three African American Nobel Peace Prize winners we can see how their lives were shaped by the American Dream and how their success was used to deny the structural racism that prevented others from achieving the American Dream. Ralph Bunche as a role model of academic and technical expertise Martin Luther King Jr. as a model race leader and Barack Obama as a political leader provide a window on the changing meaning of the American Dream. In conclusion Haiti is presented as a failed example of an attempt to export the American Dream in the form of American Exceptionalism and racial reparations are reimagined as a radical democratic project aimed at true global integration and justice. | Racial Imagination and the American Dream The Peace-Maker The Prophet and The Politician

Kohler A Political Biography of Walter J

Kohler A Political Biography of Walter J

McCarthy and Eisenhower Nelson Lucey and Proxmire-they were all giants of state and national politics in the 1950s. Yet the period also produced Walter J. Kohler Jr. a three-term governor who in the words of the Milwaukee Journal was the most dominant force in Wisconsin politics of his era. In this highly readable biography personalities and events of the 1950s are discussed as are some of the issues that still divide contemporary Democrats and Republicans in the twenty-first century. Walter Kohler was one of two men to gather 1 million votes for governor in Wisconsin through the end of the twentieth century. He is credited with helping create the Eisenhower presidency both by his support in Wisconsin's critical presidential primary and by organizing the nation's Republican governors to endorse Ike in the run-up to the 1952 GOP Convention. He signed the largest income tax cut in percentage-rate terms at any level of government between Coolidge and Kennedy. He fought for a vast expansion of Wisconsin's highway system and in 1952 launched what became a national crusade for traffic safety. He paved the way for coordination of Wisconsin's now-unified university system; took the battle for civil rights to Wisconsin's shipping hotel manufacturing and other industries and became the first governor in two decades to fulfill his constitutional duty to enact a reapportionment of the state legislature. Fossedal also captures Kohler as political anti-hero. In an age when Americans long for self-governance by our political and corporate officials Kohler's integrity as a man may be as arresting as his acts as governor. | Kohler A Political Biography of Walter J

Does the U.S. Need a Truth and Reconciliation Commission? A Philosophical Investigation

Does the U.S. Need a Truth and Reconciliation Commission? A Philosophical Investigation

Written from the perspective of a philosopher and African immigrant this book makes a forceful moral argument for the need for a Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) in the United States to address the long history of injustice to African-Americans. It shows that a TRC—similar to those established in South Africa and Chile—would rescue the ideals embodied in the U. S. Constitution while expanding their promise. Rejecting more recent views of the country’s founding as an embodiment of incorrigible racial oppression Olúfẹmi Táíwò sees in the U. S. Constitution and the original utopia that was at its foundation the best available means for achieving liberty and justice. But he simultaneously shows how only a TRC can successfully open the path to moving the U. S. past its long legacy of anti-black racism in particular and racial oppression generally towards a more perfect union. Written with an immigrant’s love of his new homeland but a clear-eyed view of its major shortcomings the book rejects the idea of American exceptionalism in prescribing a solution that has worked elsewhere. Key Features A clear view of the wide chasm between the ideals established at the U. S. ’s founding and the subsequent society that developed. Combines first-person experiences of the author with close readings of modern political philosophy W. E. B. Du Bois Martin Luther King Jr. Derrick Bell and others. Traces the link between the denial of citizenship to Blacks both historically and today and anti-Black violence. Shows how an obsession with the law and legal reform will never adequately address the fundamental problem of anti-Black oppression. Shows philosophically the necessity of establishing a consensual view of the truth and how it must precede any effective reconciliation. | Does the U. S. Need a Truth and Reconciliation Commission?

Racial Justice and Nonviolence Education Building the Beloved Community One Block at a Time

Racial Justice and Nonviolence Education Building the Beloved Community One Block at a Time

This book examines the role that community-based educators in violence-affected cities play in advancing Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. ’s radical nonviolent vision for racial and social justice. This work argues that nonviolence education can help communities build capacity to disrupt and transform cycles of violence by recognizing that people impacted by violence are effective educators and vital knowledge producers who develop unique insights into racial oppression and other forms of systemic harm. This book focuses on informal education that takes place beyond school walls a type of education that too often remains invisible and undervalued in both civil society and scholarly research. It draws on thousands of hours of work with the Connecticut Center for Nonviolence (CTCN) a grassroots organization that presents an ideal case study of the implementation of King’s core principles of nonviolence in 21st-century urban communities. Stories of educators’ life-changing educational encounters their successes and failures and their understanding of the six principles of Kingian nonviolence animate the text. Each chapter delves into one of the six principles by introducing the reader to the lives of these educators providing a rich analysis of how educators teach each principle and sharing academic resources for thinking more deeply about each principle. Against the backdrop of today’s educational system in which reductive and caricatured treatments of King are often presented within the formal classroom CTCN’s work outside of the classroom takes a fundamentally different approach connecting King’s thinking around nonviolence principles to working for racial justice in cities deeply impacted by violence. This book will be of much interest to students of conflict resolution race studies politics and education studies as well as to practitioners in the field. | Racial Justice and Nonviolence Education Building the Beloved Community One Block at a Time

Planning and Zoning New York City

Planning and Zoning New York City

Two unique events shaped the magnificent unnatural geography of New York City and created its sense of place: the Commissioners' Plan of 1811 and the zoning resolution of 1916. The first imprinted Manhattan with a two-dimensional plan a rectangular grid defined by broad north-south avenues multiple east-west cross streets and by its standard units: blocks of two hundred feet by six hundred to eight hundred feet. The second determined the city's three-dimensional form by restricting uses by district by limiting the maximum mass of a building allowed on a given site. This book addresses the fundamental challenge facing every American municipality: Can zoning - the basic tool of municipal land-use control - balance growth and equity? As New York plans for the future the nation's foremost commentators on urban planning architecture land-use law and design discuss the accomplishments of New York's zoning laws and explore alternative scenarios for guiding the city's future development. The chapters in this book were originally prepared for a symposium on the history and future of planning in New York City. The authors provide a skillful blend of urban history architectural review economic analysis and social commentary. Contributors include such experts as Jonathan Barnett Sigurd Grava Frances Halsband Jerold Kayden Brian Kintish Eric Kober Michael Kwartler Larry Littlefield Norman Marcus R. Susan Motley Richard A.

The Fight for Fair Housing Causes Consequences and Future Implications of the 1968 Federal Fair Housing Act

The Fight for Fair Housing Causes Consequences and Future Implications of the 1968 Federal Fair Housing Act

The federal Fair Housing Act of 1968 was passed in a time of turmoil conflict and often conflagration in cities across the nation. It took the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. to finally secure its passage. The Kerner Commission warned in 1968 that to continue present policies is to make permanent the division of our country into two societies; one largely Negro and poor located in the central cities; the other predominantly white and affluent located in the suburbs and outlying areas. The Fair Housing Act was passed with a dual mandate: to end discrimination and to dismantle the segregated living patterns that characterized most cities. The Fight for Fair Housing tells us what happened why and what remains to be done. Since the passage of the Fair Housing Act the many forms of housing discrimination and segregation and associated consequences have been documented. At the same time significant progress has been made in counteracting discrimination and promoting integration. Few suburbs today are all white; many people of color are moving to the suburbs; and some white families are moving back to the city. Unfortunately discrimination and segregation persist. The Fight for Fair Housing brings together the nation’s leading fair housing activists and scholars (many of whom are in both camps) to tell the stories that led to the passage of the Fair Housing Act its consequences and the implications of the act going forward. Including an afterword by Walter Mondale this book is intended for everyone concerned with the future of our cities and equal access for all persons to housing and related opportunities. | The Fight for Fair Housing Causes Consequences and Future Implications of the 1968 Federal Fair Housing Act
