Excerpt from The Rise and Progress of Civilization in the Hairy Nation This is a book, and nothing else. There no advertisements in 1t. It has not been con structed or modified to please or displease any body. I think the title fairly describes the book: that it is what it professes to be - a picture of civ iliz'ation, in its rise and in the various stages of the short period of its progress, in Davis county, Iowa, otherwise the Hairy Nation. The plan of reviewing each top1c, from the beginning to the present, separately, seemed to me the best, as affording the best hope of holding the interest of the reader to the end. The history of the settlement of the United States may be divided into three periods, as dis tinct in manner as in time. The first covers the settlement of the Atlantic coast and a fringe west of the Alleghanies. During this period the white race was forcing an entrance into thewilderness, by rude, unaided strength; the greater part of the continent lying before, an un known and dreaded, country. The second pe riod covers the settlement of the country from the Ohio to the Missouri; when the White inhab itants of the United States were secure in their mastery of the continent, and were steadily pushing the Indians and the wolves before them, lmile by mile and the railroads and other new and powerful agents of civilization were closely following, and supporting their march. The third period, the one now in progress, covers the settlement of the, Open country west of the Mis souri; where the railroads have gone in front, and wherea great proportion of the settlers have gone at one leap from the heart of Amer ican civilization, carrying with them most of its aids and. Comforts and some of even its luxuries. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Civilization Progress It were tedious to the reader were I to recount here the various mischances - want of stereotyping, etc. - which have kept this work out of print for more than three years, in the face of a steadily increasing public demand; but in issuing a new edition it is necessary, perhaps, that I should offer some remarks on the alterations and additions which I have deemed it expedient to make in the original text. The alterations are few, being limited chiefly to the titles of one or two of the chapters, my object being to enable the reader to see more clearly, and at a glance, the essential connexions of the successive chapters in a work, the subject-matter of which is so wide and complex that the approaches to it must of necessity be more or less circuitous and involved. And accordingly, for 'How is Justice done?' the original title first chapter of the Second part, I have substituted 'How is Civilization possible?'; and for 'The End of Government?'

Manhood in the Age of Aquarius investigates how a deep commitment to the belief in the naturalness of masculinity shaped the efforts of American hippies to create economic, social, political, institutional, religious, and environmental alternatives to their received culture during the 1960s and 1970s. Their efforts to create such alternatives informed the creation of a range of new forms of masculinity. Timothy Hodgdon compares two sharply contrasting hip communities: The Farm and the Diggers (later known as the Free Families). The Farmies argued that industrial progress had encouraged a dangerous hypermasculinity in men and a corresponding devaluation of women's fertility and capacity for maternal nurture. Only through veneration of women's beautiful yin could humankind return to the path of enlightenment charted by Buddha, Jesus, and other sages, and men were to cultivate a knightly masculinity of egoless service to women within lifelong, monogamous marriages. The anarchist Diggers reached the opposite conclusion: that progress had effeminized the organization man while brutalizing the respectable working-class men who served his interests as wage worker, policeman, and soldier. The Diggers sought to uproot the alienating status hierarchy mandated by private property. Their theater of the streets valorized the manliness of the outlaw& mdash;the Native American warrior, the Black Panther, the bohemian artist, and the Chinese tong member& mdash;who forcefully defended his freedom from the depredations of unjust authority while practicing the communistic sharing of wealth that, they believed, was a mark of honor among those slandered as thieves. Thus, Hodgdonargues, the Farmies and the Diggers occupied widely separated positions on a continuum of countercultural manhood. Their divergent criticisms demonstrate that the shift from producerist to consumerist conceptions of manliness was still by no means complete at mid century. Furthermore, hippies' unabashed commitment to masculinity as a natural trait, rather than a political and social construct, shows how even these incisive& mdash;and at times, impish& mdash;critics of American culture stood utterly unprepared for the emergence of radical feminism in 1967 and 1968.

Excerpt from The Building of the Nation Mr. President and Gentlemen of the Associated Press: - For the honor of the invitation to be your guest I am deeply sensible, and for that honor I wish first to express my grateful appreciation. It is no small compliment to be permitted to speak at a time like this to a great company of men, drawn from all parts of our nation, representing every shade of opinion, who are single-minded in their devotion to truth and to its interpretation as they see and understand it, and in their devotion to our common America. In this presence of men of affairs, so closely in touch with the movement of opinion all over the world, accustomed to guide, to express, to formulate it, there is nothing that I can possibly say that you do not already know. But I remember that it is out of the reflections of individuals, and out of their reaction to the changing course of events that first public opinion and then history is made. If any significance be attached to what I shall briefly say in your presence, it can only be because it represents the attempt of one American who feels keenly the responsibility of his country and of its entire citizenship at this moment when the world stands at a crossroads in its path of progress. If we stand at that crossroads irresolute, paralyzed of word and will, history will have one story to tell.

Scores of talented and dedicated people serve the forensic science community, performing vitally important work. However, they are often constrained by lack of adequate resources, sound policies, and national support. It is clear that change and advancements, both systematic and scientific, are needed in a number of forensic science disciplines to ensure the reliability of work, establish enforceable standards, and promote best practices with consistent application. Strengthening Forensic Science in the United States: A Path Forward provides a detailed plan for addressing these needs and suggests the creation of a new government entity, the National Institute of Forensic Science, to establish and enforce standards within the forensic science community. The benefits of improving and regulating the forensic science disciplines are clear: assisting law enforcement officials, enhancing homeland security, and reducing the risk of wrongful conviction and exoneration. Strengthening Forensic Science in the United States gives a full account of what is needed to advance the forensic science disciplines, including upgrading of systems and organizational structures, better training, widespread adoption of uniform and enforceable best practices, and mandatory certification and accreditation programs. While this book provides an essential call-to-action for congress and policy makers, it also serves as a vital tool for law enforcement agencies, criminal prosecutors and attorneys, and forensic science educators.
