In this biography of the tenth president, Edward P. Crapol challenges depictions of Tyler as a die-hard advocate of states' rights, limited government, and a strict interpretation of the Constitution. Instead, he argues, Tyler manipulated the Constitution to increase the executive power of the presidency. Crapol also highlights Tyler's faith in America's national destiny and his belief that boundless territorial expansion would preserve the Union as a PresidentsUnited StatesBiographyUnited StatesPolitics and government1841-1845Electronic books.Presidents973.5/092973.5092Crapol Edward P936819MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910465744703321John Tyler2110043UNINA03744nam 22007572 450 991096631570332120151005020622.01-139-79422-11-139-88924-91-139-77683-51-139-78286-X1-139-77987-71-139-17798-21-139-78379-31-283-74648-41-139-77835-8(CKB)2550000000708498(EBL)1042518(OCoLC)833769677(SSID)ssj0000755339(PQKBManifestationID)11438045(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000755339(PQKBWorkID)10729865(PQKB)11780644(UkCbUP)CR9781139177986(MiAaPQ)EBC1042518(Au-PeEL)EBL1042518(CaPaEBR)ebr10621732(CaONFJC)MIL405898(EXLCZ)99255000000070849820111102d2013|||| uy| 0engur|||||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierConnecting the nineteenth-century world the telegraph and globalization /Roland Wenzlhuemer1st ed.Cambridge :Cambridge University Press,2013.1 online resource (xvi, 339 pages) digital, PDF file(s)Title from publisher's bibliographic system (viewed on 05 Oct 2015).1-107-61660-3 1-107-02528-1 Includes bibliographical references and index.Introduction -- Telegraph and Globalization -- The Technological History of Telegraphy -- Telegraphy in Context -- The Global Telegraph Network -- Global Centres and Peripheries -- The British Telegraph Network -- The British Indian Telegraph Network -- Conclusion.By the end of the nineteenth century the global telegraph network had connected all continents and brought distant people into direct communication 'at the speed of thought' for the first time. Roland Wenzlhuemer here examines the links between the development of the telegraph and the paths of globalization, and the ways in which global spaces were transformed by this technological advance. His groundbreaking approach combines cultural studies with social science methodology, including evidence based on historical GIS mapping, to shed new light on both the structural conditions of the global telegraph network and the historical agency of its users. The book reveals what it meant for people to be telegraphically connected or unconnected, how people engaged with the technology, how the use of telegraphy affected communication itself and, ultimately, whether faster communication alone can explain the central role that telegraphy occupied in nineteenth-century globalization.TelegraphHistory19th centuryTelegraphSocial aspectsHistory19th centuryGlobalizationHistory19th centuryTechnological innovationsSocial aspectsHistory19th centuryTelecommunication systemsHistory19th centurySocial networksHistory19th centuryTelegraphHistoryTelegraphSocial aspectsHistoryGlobalizationHistoryTechnological innovationsSocial aspectsHistoryTelecommunication systemsHistorySocial networksHistory384.109/034Wenzlhuemer Roland1637150UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910966315703321Connecting the nineteenth-century world4426025UNINA
