And did army service, as a powerful form of industrial organization, help create Dubuque's modern workforce?" "Warriors into Workers argues that the Union Army was both a social and a socializing institution, making significant but previously unexamined contributions to the formation of American industrial society. This book connects with the recent surge of interest in the social history of the Civil War, and addresses significant issues in labor and economic history, military history, community studies, political culture, and gender."--Jacket.

This thesis critically analyzes two common methods of interpretation that occur on the historic landscape and offers an alternative method. The first method is the Formalist convention which identifies and interprets the historic landscape based on dates, designer, function, origin or other fact which locates the site within a stylistic sequence of similar landscapes. The second method is the ubiquitous use of text panels and guide books as the main interpretative medium. The alternative focuses on the experience of the landscape design as the main interpretative method. This alternative method is then applied to the landscape of Homestead National Monument of America, located in southeast Nebraska, through a conceptual interpretative design.

This thesis explores the impact and importance of public opinion in the American strategic/political planning process. It begins with a discussion of the special role of public opinion in the United STates, how it has changed, and how it effects policymakers. After a general consideration of the uniqueness of that relationship, the role of public opinion in determining the national interest is examined. Two case studies are then presented. The first deals with how a knowledge of existing public opinion on such general areas as support for defense spending could be used by the Executive branch to obtain support for a particular strategic policy, specifically; arms sales to foreign countries. The second case deals with how a complex strategy related to nuclear deterrence (deployment of the MX missile) was apparently adjusted to gain public opinion support. The thesis concludes with a consideration of the implications of the case study findings. (Author).
