Urban Catholic Education: The Best of Times, the Worst of Times is
a sequel to a 2010 work with the similar title, Urban Catholic
Education: Tales of Twelve American Cities. Together, these works
explore the historical contours of the Catholic parochial school
movement in America's divergent urban centers from colonial times
to the present. The first volume covers the years of growth and
expansion up to 1970 and the second volume continues the story and
discusses the years of decline and retrenchment over the past forty
years. In this second volume, ten scholars - many affiliated with
Catholic schools and universities - address the recent history of
parish schools in as many cities across the country. Not only do
the essays address common themes, they also articulate the elements
that make Catholic education distinctive in each city. The book is
a valuable touchstone for Catholic educators and scholars who work
in and for a national Catholic educational establishment; that
establishment includes 238 colleges and universities and several
thousand Catholic high schools among other institutions.

This new volume of original essays focuses on the presence of
European ethnic culture in American society since 1830. Among the
topics explored in "Immigrant America " are the alienation and
assimilation of immigrants; the immigrant home and family as a
haven of ethnicity; religion, education and employment as agents of
acculturation; and the contours of ethnic community in American
society.
Both Herbert Hoover and Franklin D. Roosevelt were giants in public
life. From strikingly different backgrounds, and sharply
contrasting styles and approaches, each man left his unique mark
upon the presidency. This collection of historical materials
chronicles the connections between the lives of Hoover and
Roosevelt from their early collaboration during the Wilson
administration to their heated competition during the 1932
presidential election and beyond. Letters, reports, and telegrams
between the two men and their wives tell a story of both
communication and miscommunication between 1917 and 1945. In 12
chapters, plus an introduction and a conclusion, the editors
present documents which reveal the sometimes tense relations
between Hoover and Roosevelt. Chapter one includes materials from
their work on housing and homebuilding issues during the Harding
and Coolidge administrations. The next two chapters focus upon
Hoover's presidency and Roosevelt's rise as govenor of New York.
Chapter four recounts the strong rivalry during the 1932 campaign,
and that rivalry is even more apparent in chapter five. The
remaining six chapters include material from Roosevelt's tenure as
president. These documents reveal Hoover's attitudes toward
Roosevelt's New Deal domestic policies, the threatening
international situation of the 1930s, and U.S. involvement in the
Second World War.

This first joint biography of the Hoovers will reshape Herbert
Hoover's image as a man who did little more than sit in the White
House while the country suffered. Both Hoovers were dynamic,
uncommon Americans who made enormous contributions to mankind,
before, during, and after the presidency. Walch, Director of the
Herbert Hoover Presidential Library, brings together contributions
from leading scholars who have conducted extensive research into
the lives of this extraordinary couple, placing them in a national
and international context. He hopes to entice more historians to
delve into the intricacies of their lives.
