Startling observations emerge out of their dialogue. Mischievously composed, this groundbreaking work intends nothing short of a revolution in how we think about the "American" constitution and government. The original States and the Framers had irreconcilable difficulties in denoting the parties to the constitution and in naming the country to which they wished to fix allegiance. John asserts that the country has gone through its history without a name. For twelve afternoons she leads Huggins on, using colloquial language that is by turns satirical, bantering, and metaphorical. St. Because of these difficulties, the country we now call "America" was late in getting a name; indeed, it did not get a name until decades after the War of Secession, a century later than the drafting of the constitution that was supposed to have founded it. In A Country with No Name, Claire St. John, a stylish, mysterious, and peremptory young Englishwoman who is completing her university studies here, undertakes to spend two weeks tutoring a young American, Oliver Huggins, in American history. As the theme of her "tales, " St. John's unique perspective raises questions about the legality of the constitution, the supreme l

I found Baruh's book the best and the most amazing book ever been & will be, in the history of dynamics! every single topic related to the world of dynamics has been introduced ea

But if constitutional history is not your bag, the grad student and her Yankee disciple enjoy a titillating relationship fraught with sexual undertones. We also meet Thoreau, a self-proclaimed individualist who never left his parents' household and who erected a prefabricated dwelling along Walden Pond. From Publishers Weekly In a freewheeling, irreverent romp through American history, de Grazia, who won a Pulitzer in biography for Machiavelli in Hell, claims that the Founding Fathers illegally overthrew the first U.S. Written in the form of 12 dialogues between a female, English-born graduate student and her inquisitive male American pupil, this iconoclastic inquiry wants to force us to rethink basic assumptions about the American political system, but it frequently overstates its case with hairsplitting legalistic analyses, as when Lincoln is portrayed as a slippery lawyer whose self-appointed mission to save the Union undermined the voluntary basis of political unity. Furthermore, he observes, the Constitution does not use the term Americans, and the newly unified 13 colonies called themselves "Columbia" and "America" interchangeably, which indicated a lack of cohes
