Free Download Uncompromising Activist: Richard Greener, First Black Graduate of Harvard College (The Johns Hopkins University Studies in Historical and Political Science) by Katherine Reynolds Chaddock
English | September 27, 2017 | ISBN: 1421423294 | True EPUB | 216 pages | 2.8 MB
Almost forgotten until his papers were discovered in a Chicago attic, Richard Greener was a pioneer who broke educational and professional barriers for black citizens. He was also a man caught between worlds.
Richard Theodore Greener (1844-1922) was a renowned black activist and scholar. In 1870, he was the first black graduate of Harvard College. During Reconstruction, he was the first black faculty member at a southern white college, the University of South Carolina. He was even the first black US diplomat to a white country, serving in Vladivostok, Russia. A notable speaker and writer for racial equality, he also served as a dean of the Howard University School of Law and as the administrative head of the Ulysses S. Grant Monument Association. Yet he died in obscurity, his name barely remembered.

Free Download Ken W. Sayers - Uncommon Warriors: 200 Years of the Most Unusual American Naval Vessels
Naval Institute Press | 2012 | ISBN: 1591147603 | English | 328 pages | PDF | 109.71 MB
The book examines all of the nearly 500 of the Navy's unique miscellaneous auxiliary (AG) and unclassified miscellaneous (IX) vessels. It provides individual histories, specifications and illustrations for more than 40 of these ships in 32 chapters, as well as concise directory listings for another 400 vessels. The main text is supplemented with a glossary of terms and abbreviations, bibliography and three appendices, and is further reinforced with a useful detailed index. The focus of the book is on a heterogeneous and little-known grouping of Navy ships that includes both celebrated men-of-war (past their prime) and hundreds of very diverse ships with fascinating stories, missions, achievements and roles. Conclusion: The AG and IX fleet constitutes the most novel, unique and uncommon aggregation of naval vessels in more than two centuries of Beyond the usual carriers, submarines, cruisers and destroyers, the U.S. Navy has also deployed over the years a vast flotilla of diverse vessels to serve in specialized roles and unusual missions. Uncommon Warriors spotlights these unique "miscellaneous" ships and boats, and provides individual histories, specifications and illustrations of many of them. Some began their careers as powerful warships with impressive pedigrees and achievements; others started out as prosaic commercial vessels but after joining the fleet, helped the Navy to win a war. This uncommon group includes iconic and historic men-of-war -such as "Old Ironsides," Farragut's Hartford and Dewey's Olympia -as well as such novel vessels as coal-burning side-wheeler aircraft carriers, presidential yachts, Q-ships, "spy ships" and an amazing array of other types from battleships to tugs. In all, this book furnishes for the first time a comprehensive account of some of the most interesting -but often little-known -naval ships and boats spanning more than two centuries of U.S. history.

Free Download Uncle Bud Long : The Birth of a Kentucky Folk Legend By Kenneth Clarke
2014 | 92 Pages | ISBN: 0813151694 | EPUB | 1 MB
According to the scant historical records available, Uncle Bud Long, his daughter Janey, and her son Frankie lived near Clark's Landing, Kentucky, for about twenty years early in this century. Mr. Clarke has collected the tales of the Longs' strange ways from old-time residents of the community, both those who knew the Longs and those who inherited the stories by word of mouth. Here he skillfully weaves them into a loose narrative and, in addition, analyzes the ways in which the anecdotes have been transmuted in the process of retelling. This analysis of the stories of Uncle Bud reveals much about the delicate process by which the oral folk tradition grows and thrives. Though at first glance these fragmentary anecdotes hardly seem to constitute a legend, Mr. Clarke convincingly argues that from such humble roots ultimately grows much of what we think of as "literature."

Free Download Uncertainty in Economics: A History
English | 2025 | ISBN: 3031912209 | 287 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 4 MB
This book introduces the economic theories that have placed uncertainty at the core of economic discourse. Covering the works of John Maynard Keynes and Frank Knight, as well as those of John von Neumann, Oskar Morgenstern, and Leonard Savage, it reconstructs the complex history of how economists have analyzed uncertainty, as distinct from risk, in the twentieth century. The text delves into the question of the extent to which uncertainty is a measurable entity, focusing on the perspective of those authors who have attempted to demonstrate its irreducibility to risk, with particular regard to Daniel Ellsberg and the ensuing current decision theory. The book will appeal to scholars of the history of economic thought, as well as students of advanced microeconomics, decision theory, game theory, and history of economic thought.
