Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - James A. Michener was one of the most beloved storytellers of our time, captivating readers with sweeping historical plots that educated and entertained. In this first full-length biography of the private as well as the public Michener, Stephen J. May reveals how an aspiring writer became a best-selling novelist. It is the only book to draw on Michener's complete papers as well as interviews with his friends and associates. The result conveys much about Michener never before revealed in print.May follows the young Michener from an impoverished Pennsylvania childhood to the wartime Pacific, where he found inspiration for Tales of the South Pacific, a book that led to a string of best sellers, including The Source, Centennial, Chesapeake, and The Covenant. May provides insights into Michener's personal life: his three marriages, his unique working methods, and his social and political views. He also reveals the author's hypersensitivity to criticism, his egotism, and his failure on some occasions to acknowledge the contributions of his assistants.Examining Michener's body of writing in its biographical and cultural contexts, May describes the creation of each novel and assesses the book's strengths and shortcomings. His close readings underscore Michener's innovativeness in presenting mountains of historical and cultural research in an engaging literary form.This probing biography establishes Michener's place in twentieth-century letters as it offers an unprecedented view of the man behind the typewriter.

This compilation starts with the Preliminary report on the Eighth Census, 1860 and goes to the Nineteenth Decennial Census population volume. From an obituary found on-line: Sue Schulze was born in Detroit, Michigan, on January 14, 1922. She attended the University of Michigan and earned master's degrees in political science and library science. She became a professional archivist and government documents librarian, retiring from a tenured professorship at the University of Northern Colorado in 1989. She published the definitive works on the vast information available in 19th and 20th Century US censuses. She also became a leading expert on Horace Greeley. She helped edit massive University of Michigan yearbooks, served on the Rhode Island board of the American Civil Liberties Union, was president of the Joint Legislative Council of Rhode Island, and was appointed by the Governor to the Rhode Island House of Representatives reapportionment commission. A census is far more than a simple enumeration of an area's population. It can be an excellent resource for genealogists, historians, and sociologists as they document vital statistics as well as the history of social change. The purpose of the present compilation is to provide in a single volume a record of Colorado's population since its territorial days. It includes the tables from each United States Decennial Census which indicate the count of population of the counties and what the Census had terms the "minor civil divisions/" For some years, election precincts are shown. In more recent years, metropolitan statistical area data are included. None of the pages of source material have been reduced in size for this compilation, but the margins of some have been reduced. The pages have been duplicated, with minor exceptions, from the original volumes in the Michener Library, which has an unusually good collection of the United States Census. A selection of tables was essential in order to keep the girth of this volume within bounds. Only a few pages other than the population count have been included here. For each census volume used, the title page is shown. Tables taken from each volume are listed in the table of contents according to the year of the Decennial Census. For easier reference to the original volumes, their page numbers have been left showing. Pages are keyed to the census year, rather than in a continuous numeration. In the table of contents, three identifications are given for each volume: the document classification (i.e. Serial Set or Superintendent of Documents classification number), the coding by Henry J. Dubester in this Catalog of United States Census Publications: 1790-1945 or the pages of then 1872 census catalog, and the Library of Congress classification number. This publication was intended as a contribution to the celebration of Colorado's Centennial. The Northern Colorado Research and Publications Committee supplied the funds for the printing and binding of a limited number of copies for distribution to Colorado libraries and interested persons.
