Professor Foner, congratulations on your award and thank you for joining me. Eric Foner (EF): Thank you very much; I'm happy to talk to you CWBR: What inspired you to take this approach to looking at Abraham Lincoln? EF: Well obviously, as you know, there are enumerable books about Lincoln out there already, many of them are, of course excellent books. I feel that in recent years, with some important exceptions, there's been a tendency in some of the literature to sort of focus so specifically on Lincoln that the wider world slips from view sometimes, that, in a sense, my feeling is Lincoln needed to be put back in political context, particularly in this one area: that my book is about Lincoln and slavery; it's not a total biography.

  • Organizing Thoughts Through Notetaking Part 2 – Reading
    Summer Reading Assignment 2021-2022 Honors American Literature | Oakland Catholic High School Introduction* For your summer reading assignment, you will have the chance to explore diverse ideas through a variety of texts and to respond to your reading and thinking through creative notetaking. You will need to purchase print copies (no ebooks) of three texts, listed in the assignment below. You may purchase these texts from a variety of sources, including traditional and online booksellers. Next to the text required texts (The Joy Luck Club and Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother) the appropriate ISBN number is listed. Please purchase that particular copy of the text to streamline page numbers. All the parts of this assignment are due the first week of school. Please bring all three purchased texts to school the first day of class. Part 1 – Organizing thoughts through notetaking Text – The StudyTee video on YouTube, “How I take notes (neat and effective)”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=amVHBIhWwCo. Assignment: - Think about how organizing notes can help your study of literature. Get a notebook or binder of your choice with the style of paper that you prefer (lined, graph, blank, bullet point, etc.) You will use this notebook to create notes for your summer reading books as well as the major works that we study, so find one that you really like. Why it is important – Often, we can feel disorganized when we learn something new. We may feel “lost” or overwhelmed by seemingly unconnected details. To combat this, notetaking consolidates new information into organized, categorized, visually-appealing formats.

  • Preview | Eclipse: Living in the Shadow of China's Economic Dominance
    ECLECLIPSEIPSE: LivingLiving in the in Shadow the of ChiShadowna’s Economic Dominance of ChiArvindna’s Subramanian Economic Dominance Peterson Institute for International Economics Arvind Subramanian Peterson Institute for International Economics Praise for Eclipse: Living in the Shadow of China’s Economic Dominance “Parts of Eclipse read like a wonky version of Rising Sun, Michael Crichton's 1992 novel of Japanese dominance over the U.S. when Tokyo was seen as speeding toward number one. But Mr. Subramanian is a first-class economist who uses his book to discuss provocatively U.S.-Chinese relations and the nature of economic power.” —Wall Street Journal “If you want to understand the true magnitude of the shift in economic power that is currently changing the world, Eclipse is the book to read-- provocative, well argued and elegantly written.” —Liaquat Ahamed, Pulitzer Prize winning author of Lords of Finance “Defying conventional wisdom, Eclipse not just vividly imagines, but provides a plausible scenario for, the replacement of the United States by China as the world's dominant economic power. It persuasively underlines the need for Washington to get its act together.” —Francis Fukuyama, Senior Fellow, Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies, Stanford University and author of The End of History and The Origins of Political Order “Eclipse is an extremely well written and thought provoking book. It must be read for a refreshing and deep analysis of what may lie ahead." —Mohamed El-Erian, Chief Executive, PIMCO and award winning author of When Markets Collide “Eclipse is a fascinating read. Controversial, but meant to be, it has the potential to set the terms of our ongoing discussion on what is perhaps the hottest issue in the global economy—China’s role.
