Alabama Governors
An entirely revised and updated edition of the
best-selling 2001 original This collection of
biographical essays, written by thirty-four noted historians and
political scientists, chronicles the times, careers, challenges,
leadership, and legacies of the fifty-seven men and one woman who
have served as the state's highest elected official. The book is
organized chronologically into six sections that cover
Alabama’s years as a US territory and its early statehood,
the 1840s through the Civil War and Reconstruction, the late
nineteenth-century Bourbon era, twentieth-century progressive and
wartime governors, the Civil Rights era and George
Wallace’s period of influence, and recent chief executives
in the post-Wallace era. The political careers of these
fifty-eight individuals reflect the story of Alabama itself.
Taken together, these essays provide a unified history of the
state, with its recurring themes of race, federal-state
relations, tensions between north and south Alabama, economic
development, taxation, and education.
Alabama Governors expertly delineates the decisions and
challenges of the chief executives, their policy initiatives,
their accomplishments and failures, and the lasting impact of
their terms. The book also includes the true and sometimes
scandalous anecdotes that pepper Alabama’s storied history.
Several of the state's early governors fought duels; one killed
his wife's lover. A Reconstruction era-governor barricaded
himself in his office and refused to give it up when voters
failed to reelect him. A twentieth-century governor, an alumnus
of Yale, served as an officer in the Ku Klux Klan. This entirely
updated and revised edition includes enlarged and enhanced images
of each governor. Published as Alabama prepares for its
sixty-fourth gubernatorial election, Alabama Governors is certain
to become a valuable resource for teachers, students, librarians,
journalists, and anyone interested in the colorful history of
Alabama politics.

Thomas Jefferson and philosophy
Though it is not uncommon for historians to have something to say concerning philosophical strands in Jefferson’s thought, that something is usually insubstantial—often misleadingly so—or inchoate. Overall, precious little has been said. The significance of the man and the richness of his thought demands that this defect be remedied. Thomas Jefferson and Philosophy is a collection of nine new essays on philosophical elements in Jefferson’s writings. The first of its kind, this collection should lead to further philosophical analysis of Jefferson’s thinking—especially by philosophers, who tend to appreciate Jefferson only as the author of the Declaration of Independence—and to greater appreciation for the man who gave to statesmanship a large number of the prime of his years out of a moral sense of duty to others. In that regard, Jefferson was always first a philosopher. This book will be a valuable read for students and scholars of history, political theory, and philosophy, as well as anyone interested in the thought of Thomas Jefferson.
