But Andrew Delbanco sees abolitionists in a different light, as the embodiment of a driving force in American history: the recurrent impulse of an adamant minority to rid the world of outrageous evil.Delbanco imparts to the reader a sense of what it meant to be a thoughtful citizen in nineteenth-century America, appalled by slavery yet aware of the fragility of the republic and the high cost of radical action. In this light, we can better understand why the fiery vision of the ";abolitionist imagination"; alarmed such contemporary witnesses as Herman Melville and Nathaniel Hawthorne even as they sympathized with the cause. The story of the abolitionists thus becomes both a stirring tale of moral fervor and a cautionary tale of ideological certitude. And it raises the question of when the demand for purifying action is cogent and honorable, and when it is fanatic and irresponsible. Delbanco's work is placed in conversation with responses from literary scholars and historians. These provocative essays bring the past into urgent dialogue with the present, dissecting the power and legacies of a determined movement to bring America's reality into conformity with American ideals. 606 $aAbolitionists$zUnited States$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aAntislavery movements$zUnited States$xHistory$y19th century 615 0$aAbolitionists$xHistory 615 0$aAntislavery movements$xHistory 676 $a973.7/114 700 $aDelbanco$b Andrew$f1952-$01150840 702 $aMcClay$b Wilfred M, 702 $aSinha$b Manisha, 702 $aStauffer$b John, 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910791935503321 996 $aThe abolitionist imagination$93690066 997 $aUNINA LEADER 02416nam 2200457 450 001 9910830591803321 005 20230711043446.0 010 $a1-119-69299-7 010 $a9781119693048 010 $z9781119693000 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC6820539 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL6820539 035 $a(CKB)19968399800041 035 $a(EXLCZ)9919968399800041 100 $a20220823d2022 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aConstruction risk management decision making understanding current practices /$fAlex C.

Construction managers still take a largely intuitive approach however, and much less has been published on the qualitative decision-making systems practised in the industry"--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aConstruction industry$xRisk management 606 $aDecision making 615 0$aConstruction industry$xRisk management. 615 0$aDecision making. 676 $a624.0681 700 $aArthur$b Alex C.$01667933 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910830591803321 996 $aConstruction risk management decision making understanding current practices$94028158 997 $aUNINA
