That act set in motion the remarkable saga of one of the world's most influential crops--one that would transform the future of Africa and of the Atlantic world. The recent spread of maize has been alarmingly fast, with implications largely overlooked by the media and policymakers. McCann's compelling history offers insight into the profound influence of a single crop on African culture, health, technological innovation, and the future of the world's food supply.CornAfricaHistoryGrainAfricaHistoryCornHistory.GrainHistory.633.15096NW 2570rvkMcCann James1950-896977MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK996247851503316Maize and grace2363466UNISA03030nam 22005415 450 991016304800332120230810185455.09783319315898331931589710.1007/978-3-319-31589-8(CKB)3710000001033219(DE-He213)978-3-319-31589-8(MiAaPQ)EBC4790544(Perlego)3498200(EXLCZ)99371000000103321920170123d2017 u| 0engurnn#008mamaatxtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierAbraham Lincoln and William Cullen Bryant Their Civil War /by Gilbert H.

The Union Vindicated: "Glory to the Lord of Hosts!" -- Epilogue: The President and the Poet.This definitive dual portrait offers a fresh perspective on Abraham Lincoln and William Cullen Bryant's crucial role in elevating him to the presidency. The book also sheds new light on the influence that "Bryant and his class" (as Lincoln called the Radical Republican faction whose views Bryant articulated) wielded on the chief executive. How the cautious president and the preeminent editor of the Fourth Estate interacted-and how their ideological battle tilted gradually in Bryant's favor-is the centerpiece of this study. A work of meticulous scholarship and a model of compression, Lincoln and Bryant is a watershed account of two Republicans fighting common enemies (and each other) during the Civil War era.United StatesHistoryCivilizationHistoryAmericaLiteraturesUS HistoryCultural HistoryNorth American LiteratureUnited StatesHistory.CivilizationHistory.AmericaLiteratures.US History.Cultural History.North American Literature.973Muller Gilbert Hauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut994038BOOK9910163048003321Abraham Lincoln and William Cullen Bryant2276594UNINA
