SCHROEDER WINNER of the 1956 Beveridge Award, this persuasive analysis of a con troversial chapter in American history deals with the role of the Tripartite Alliance in Japanese-American relations. Skillfully stressing the strong influence of public opinion, the author places responsibility for America's "too hard and rigid" policy not on the Administration and a party only, but on the whole nation. 254 pages, $4.50 British Inuestment and the American Mining Frontier, 1860-1901 By CLARK C.

    Historicizing Nature: Time and Space in German and American Environmental Historiography

    Historicizing Nature: Time and space in German and American environmental historiography Ursula Lehmkuhl 'History’s time is the plasma in which phenomena are immersed and the locus of their intelligibility' – Marc Bloch Introduction I.G. Simmons, the doyen of British environmental history, explains in the introduction to his “Environmental history of Great Britain from 10.000 years ago to the present”: The discipline of environmental history attempts … to undertake studies of environments in a way which highlights the interfaces between humans as agents, acting in the light of all their manifold human characteristics (both social and individual) and the non-human world in all its complexities and dynamics. … The best studies in environmental history also have one more feature. They carry through an environmental process involving both nature and culture from its beginning to its end. … since, however, words have to be placed sequentially it is rarely possible to deal with the simultaneity of the ramifications. … Hence, simplification in time and space is an inevitable part of the account which is given … 1. This reflection on the dimensions of time and space in environmental history points out conceptual difficulties that historians have to reckon with if they want to study “how people have lived in the natural systems of the planet, and how they have perceived nature and reshaped it to suit their own idea of good living” and if they start to investigate “how nature, once changed, requires people to reshape their cultures, economies, and politics to meet new realities” – as Louis Warren in his definition of environmental history suggests.2 Time – as well as space – is basic to history both with regard to what historians claim to present about the past and with regard to how they go about representing it.

In this allegorical portrait, America is personified as a white marble goddess. Dressed in classical attire and crowned with thirteen stars representing the original thirteen colonies, the figure gives form to associations Americans drew between their democracy and the ancient Greek and Roman republics. Like most nineteenth-century American marble sculptures, America is the product of many hands. Powers, who worked in Florence, modeled the bust in plaster and then commissioned a team of Italian carvers to transform his model into a full-scale work. Nathaniel Hawthorne, who visited Powers’s studio in 1858, captured this division of labor with some irony in his novel The Marble Faun: “The sculptor has but to present these men with a plaster cast . and, in due time, without the necessity of his touching the work, he will see before him the statue that is to make him renowned.” Identification and Creation Object Number 1958.180 People Hiram Powers, American (Woodstock, NY 1805 - 1873 Florence, Italy) Title America Other Titles Former Title: Liberty Classification Sculpture Work Type sculpture Date 1854 Places Creation Place: North America, United States Culture American Persistent Link https://hvrd.art/o/228516 Location Level 2, Room 2100, European and American Art, 17th–19th century, Centuries of Tradition, Changing Times: Art for an Uncertain Age.

Benjamin Henry Latrobe was born in 1764 at Fulneck in Yorkshire. He was the Second son of the Reverend Benjamin Latrobe (1728 - 86), a minister of the Moravian church, and Anna Margaretta (Antes) Latrobe (1728 - 94), a third generation Pennsylvanian of Moravian Parentage. The original Latrobes had been French Huguenots who had settled in Ireland at the end of the 17th Century. Whilst he is most noted for his work on The White House and the Capitol in Washington, he introduced the Greek Revival as the style of American National architecture. He built Baltimore cathedral, not only the first Roman Catholic Cathedral in America but also the first vaulted church and is, perhaps, Latrobes finest monument. Hammerwood Park achieves importance as his first complete work, the first of only two in this country and one of only five remaining domestic buildings by Latrobe in existence. It was built as a temple to Apollo, dedicated as a hunting lodge to celebrate the arts and incorporating elements related to Demeter, mother Earth, in relation to the contemporary agricultural revolution.
