New Releases by ROBERT F. KENNEDY

«Troppo e per troppo tempo abbiamo dato l''impressione di riporre l''eccellenza personale e i valori della comunità nella mera accumulazione di beni materiali. Il nostro prodotto interno lordo, ora, ha superato gli 800 miliardi di dollari l''anno, ma il Pil (...) non calcola, la salute dei nostri figli, né la qualità della loro istruzione o la gioia nel loro giocare. Non include la bellezza della nostra poesia né la forza dei nostri matrimoni, l''intelligenza del nostro dibattito pubblico e l''integrità dei nostri pubblici funzionari. Non misura né la nostra arguzia, né il nostro coraggio; né la nostra saggezza, né il nostro apprendimento; né la nostra compassione né la nostra devozione al paese; in breve, misura qualsiasi cosa, eccetto ciò che rende la vita degna di essere vissuta». Robert F. Kennedy, Sogno cose che non sono state mai *** Un uomo coraggioso e innamorato del futuro, nella forza delle sue parole. delle sue parole.

"A minor classic in its laconic, spare, compelling evocation by a participant of the shifting moods and maneuvers of the most dangerous moment in human history." —Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr. During the thirteen days in October 1962 when the United States confronted the Soviet Union over its installation of missiles in Cuba, few people shared the behind-the-scenes story as it is told here by the late Senator Robert F. Kennedy. In this unique account, he describes each of the participants during the sometimes hour-to-hour negotiations, with particular attention to the actions and views of his brother, President John F. Kennedy. In a new foreword, the distinguished historian and Kennedy adviser Arthur Schlesinger, Jr., discusses the book''s enduring importance and the significance of new information about the crisis that has come to light, especially from the Soviet Union.

In this moving picture book, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. tells the story of a great American hero. Musician, linguist, college professor, farmer, husband and father -- Joshua Chamberlain was a Renaissance man living a full and satisfying life in rural Maine when the Civil War broke out. Inspired by his conviction that our young country should stay united, Chamberlain volunteered to join the Union army. He quickly proved himself to be a brilliant strategist and great leader of men, who never hesitated to fight every battle on the front line. This fascinating and dramatic story of Chamberlain¿s life focuses on his extraordinary bravery and inspiring leadership during some of the most bloody and decisive battles of the Civil War. Full-color illus. Reinforced binding.

In 1862, a group of slaves stole one of the Confederacy¿s most crucial gunships from its wharf in Charleston and delivered it to the Federal Navy. This escape, masterminded by a 24-year-old black sailor named Robert Smalls, exploded the Confederate claim that Southern slaves did not crave freedom or have the ability to take action. A brilliant military strategist, Smalls was promoted to the rank of captain in the Federal Navy, where he served in many battles. His eloquent appeal to Lincoln convinced the Pres. to enlist 5,000 former slaves in the Union armed forces, shattering the color barrier that had kept black men out. His fame inspired the public support that encouraged Lincoln to issue the Emancipation Proclamation. Full-color illus. Reinforced binding.

Crimes against Nature reveals the hidden history behind three of the nation''s first parklands: the Adirondacks, Yellowstone, and the Grand Canyon. Focusing on conservation''s impact on local inhabitants, Karl Jacoby traces the effect of criminalizing such traditional practices as hunting, fishing, foraging, and timber cutting in the newly created parks. Jacoby reassesses the nature of these "crimes" and provides a rich portrait of rural people and their relationship with the natural world in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

This compilation article provides a rare behind the scenes glimpse into landmark environmental cases from those who litigated them, including Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., Bruce Terris, Professor Zygmunt Plater, Professor Ann Powers, Mike Axline, David Bookbinder, and Peter Lehner. In 1970, Congress gave citizens the remarkable authority to file federal lawsuits as "private attorneys general" to enforce the Clean Air Act (CAA). Congress intended citizen suits to fill the vast void left by inadequate enforcement by federal and state regulators, and to ensure compliance and deter illegal activity. The approach stuck. Now more than one dozen federal environmental statutes, numerous state laws, and myriad foreign laws allow for such "environmental citizen suits." To commemorate the inception of the first environmental citizen suits, on April 4, 2003, the Widener Law Symposium Journal and the Mid-Atlantic Environmental Law Center, joined by co-sponsors the Environmental Law Reporter, Sierra Club, and Trial Lawyers for Public Justice, hosted a conference at the University''s campus in Wilmington, Delaware, Environmental Citizen Suits at Thirtysomething: A Celebration and Summit. The conference featured a virtual who''s who of leading environmental Law lawyer advocates and law professors. At its core, the compilation is a clarion call for citizen action, and informs how citizen suits propagate democracy, provide appropriate economic feedback to the marketplace, and help make the world a better place for rivers, plants, animals, people of all walks, and generations to come.
