“For anyone feeling confused or despairing about the world's dangers and divisions, Louise Knight has arrived in the nick of time with a biography of Jane Addams. Whether the problem was hostility toward the female half of the world or sweat shops, class and race divisions or a love of war, Jane Addams took them all on—with enough success to become the first female American to receive the Nobel Peace Prize. By focusing on the first half of her life, Citizen gives us just what we need to realize that our struggle for cooperative justice and democracy has both precedent and hope."

What?Q: What is this feature for/why is it necessary? A: Because LibraryThing draws from so many different libraries, it can't enforce a single name for a given author. "Also known as" lets LibraryThing users combine author's names easily, so collections match up and everything runs smoothly. Q: Can I combine with an author not suggested above? A: Yes you can. Q: I know an author is separate, but some infernal idiot keeps combining them. Can I take a name off the combination list? A: Yes you can. Look up! Everything in the "Combine with..." section now has a link to "never combine." Use this feature wisely. "Marc Twain" may be idiotic, but misspelling should still be combined. "Mark Twain" and "Edward Gibbon" should not. Q: What authors have already been slated to "never combine" with this author? A: No authors. Q: I am the infernal idiot and I'm right! A: Take it to the Combiners group.Q: What if this author is really two authors? A: We're working on a solution, but if you want you can post a brief disambiguation notice in the Common Knowledge section. Become a member to do this. |
