Welcome to the A.P.E. Academy Podcast! In the wake of the shocking assassination attempt on former President Donald J. Trump, we would like to explore political violence in American politics. Starting with Presidential assassinations and attempts, we will discuss how sharply polarized societies can be torn apart by diabolical men with murderous intent.   Sources 1.

Marking one of the shortest presidencies in American history, James A. Garfield died less than seven months after inauguration due to a bullet wound sustained during an attempted assassination. A Civil War hero born into abject poverty, President Garfield's attempted assassination set off a bitter struggle for power in the American government—even extending to contention surrounding the medical care used to treat his wound. Candice Millard, in conversation with David M. Rubenstein, offers an extraordinary account of Garfield's momentous, if brief, presidential career and the legacy left not only by his work but by his death. Recorded on April 11, 2023

Today we dive into the annals of horological history, to discover a tale of watchmaking on the world stage in the nineteenth century, a time when America's star was rising, and the Swiss national industry was facing a host of challenges. Aaron Stark, author of Disrupting Time, tells how Jacques David and Theo Gribi, two Swiss spies, travelled to America, and actively worked to gather information on their American competition and develop a strategy to bring the Swiss industry into the 20th century. Before this high-stakes spy drama, there's the usual low-stakes shenanigans. This episode is sponsored by Artem Straps; check out the brand new Loop-Less Sailcloth strap in khaki green.

October 5, 2020 - In 1881, an assassin shot President James A. Garfield just four months into his term, ending this noble leader's plans for carrying out Abraham Lincoln's legacy of equality for formerly enslaved Americans. But how did he get into the big chair? Our time machine heads into the hurly burley of the 1880 election, the only time two Civil War veterans faced off across the Mason-Dixon line of politics. It's the ultimate winner, James A. Garfield of Ohio, who we meet in the book The Last Lincoln Republican: The Presidential Election of 1880. Our campaign manager on the road to the White House, is Benjamin Todd Arrington, site manager of the James A. Garfield National Historic Site in Mentor, Ohio. Learn more about the 20th president's life and unfulfilled potential at the National Parks Service website, or on Facebook and Twitter and Instagram. Special thanks to Candice Millard for submitting a question for Todd. She's author of the landmark James A.

Justesen, author of Forgotten Legacy: William McKinley, George Henry White, and the Struggle for Black Equality. Watch for that interview in the coming months.      

“Garfield is, I think, one of the greatest tragedies in the American presidency.  He's a man who held such promise for the country at a time where we really were on this path, this post-Civil War path of hopefully bringing the country forward.  He had such great ideas, he was so smart, so compassionate and then to have his presidency cut down, to me, is such a tragedy."Tour Guide Tell All delves into the unlikely stories of Charles Guiteau, a madman struggling to find his place in the world, and James Garfield, a man who worked his way from nothing to become a soldier, a scholar, and a statesman, and how their two lives intersect and end in blood.Join us as we discuss politics, assassination, sex cults, and the Civil War  - plus a Broadway musical for good measure!Comments or Questions?

On July 2nd, 1881, a disappointed and mentally unstable office-seeker named Charles Guiteau shot President James A. Garfield in a Washington D.C. train station. Over the next weeks, Garfield would linger, bedridden, as infection set in, caused by poor medical treatment, and America would wait with bated breath over whether their beloved president would survive. Meanwhile, Guiteau, the most hated man in America, would face trial and possible execution.

(Shout out to our episode with Amy Stephenson from The Booksmith, who initially recommended it to us, and to our favorite audiobook provider, Libro.fm.)       View this post on Instagram Picked this up @elliottbaybookco from their #stafffavorite shelf, cracking it open tonight. #essays #hollandreads #literarytourism #shoplocal @grandcentralpub A post shared by The Novel Neighbor (@novelneighbor) on Jul 29, 2018 at 4:54pm PDT   --- Chapter II [26:37] In Which No One Tells Holland She's Crazy, People Love Their Greeting Cards, The Drunk Booksellers Marvel at Novel Neighbor's Ability to Handsell Events, and We Reiterate that Bookstores are a Business (whaaaa?) The Novel Neighbor: More Than A Bookstore The Novel Neighbor is not just a bookstore. In addition to author events, they host birthday parties, summer camps, bookstore yoga, and adult classes (like continuing ed, but sexier), among other things (sorry Amanda!). Recommended reading for staff retreats: StrengthsFinder 2.0 by Tom Rath 168 Hours: You Have More Time Than You Think by Laura VanderKam Beware of squirreling, y'all.   Chapter III [47:06] In Which We Move From Books to Books, Talk About Hybridity, and We Finally Meet a Bookseller Who Has Read Harry Potter Book Description Guaranteed to Get You Reading  Anything meets anything. NOT "It's the next" NOT EVERYTHING IS THE NEXT HUNGER GAMES, Y'ALL. Hybridity. Holland loved a book that was Comic Con meets The Help. FYI, it's called The Almost Sisters by Joshilyn Jackson. Emma recommends Hawkeye by Matt Friction. It's Buffy meets Veronica Mars. Which apparently is listed on Emma's shelf talker. But, like, who reads those? Desert Island Pick The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett Emma hasn't finished The Secret Garden, but The Little Princess might be Emma's Desert Island pick. That said, she hearts Mandy by Julie Andrews, which is kinda the same thing, so that counts, right? Station Eleven Picks Practical: anything from the Did you Know shelf, such as How to Stay Alive in the Woods: A Complete Guide to Food, Shelter and Self-Preservation Anywhere by Bradford Angier Political: Destiny of the Republic: A Tale of Madness, Medicine and the Murder of a President by Candice Millard Wild Pick The Amazing Adventures of a Nobody and The Kindness Diaries: One Man's Quest to Ignite Goodwill and Transform Lives Around the World by Leon Logothetis Book of Joy by the Dalai Lama Bookseller Confession Holland hated Fates and Furies by Lauren Groff and The Nest by Cynthia D'Aprix Sweeney. Also, she never read Catcher in the Rye, which both Kim and Emma are totally okay with. Emma says you should skip Catcher and read Franny and Zooey.  Shout out to a bookseller who has actually read Harry Potter. Go-To Handsell Best book Holland has read since she opened the bookstore (whoa): The One-In-A-Million Boy by Monica Wood Kids of Appetite by David Arnold (if you liked Outsiders, read this) Go-To Picture Books: Lady Pancake and Sir French Toast by John Funk, illustrated by Brendan Kearney Interstellar Cinderella by Deborah Underwood, illustrated by Meg Hunt Impossible Handsell Good Luck of Right Now by Matthew Quick (author of Silver Linings Playbook and The Reason You're Alive) FYI: Emma's really into Richard Gere.   Book for Booksellers Throw back to Laura VanderKam 10% Happier: How I Tamed the Voice in My Head, Reduced Stress Without Losing My Edge, and Found Self-Help That Actually Works by Dan Harris Favorite Bookstores Flyleaf Books - Chapel Hill, NC Elliott Bay Book Company - Seattle, WA Strand Book Store - New York, NY novel. - Memphis, TN The Last Bookstore - Los Angeles, CA Road Trips are for bookstores, right?

Two Book Minimum: Oreo by Fran Ross Waveform: Twenty-First-Century Essays By Women by Marcia Aldrich (editor, contributor) Why Won’t You Apologize?: Healing Big Betrayals And Everyday Hurts by Harriet Lerner (coming to Lawrence Public Library in 2017) Unmentionable: The Victorian Lady’s Guide To Sex, Marriage And Manners by Therese Oneill She Said / She Said: Destiny of the Republic: A Tale of Madness, Medicine and the Murder of a President by Candice Millard The extraordinary New York Times bestselling account of James Garfield's rise from poverty to the American presidency, and the dramatic history of his assassination and legacy, from bestselling author of The River of Doubt, Candice Millard.

    Candice Millard is a former writer and editor for National Geographic Magazine. Her first book The River of Doubt: Theodore Roosevelt's Darkest Journey was published in 2005. Destiny of the Republic: A Tale of Madness, Medicine, and the Murder of A President, which won an Edgar for best fact crime book, followed in 2011. Doubleday has recently published her third book, Hero of the Empire: The Boer War, a Daring Escape and the Making of Winston Churchill, which has already spent several weeks in the top ten of the New York Times Best Sellers list.

September 26, 2016 - This week, our time machine spins us back to Boer War in the twilight of the 19th Century, when the republics that preceded today's South Africa fought the British Empire over gold and diamonds. While there, we'll see a familiar face from World War Two forty years later. The name Sir Winston Leonard Spencer Churchill invokes the balding, cigar-chomping, British bulldog who stared down Hitler across the English Channel. So it's easy to forget that he was a soldier once, and young. Distinguished author Candice Millard introduces us to this Churchill as he puts his foot on the first rung of the ladder to greatness in Hero of the Empire: The Boer War, a Daring Escape, and the Making of Winston Churchill. Her previous books are best-sellers The River of Doubt: Theodore Roosevelt's Darkest Journey, and Destiny of the Republic: A Tale of Madness, Medicine and the Murder of a President, covering the man the President James A. Garfield National Historic Site described in our very first episode as, "The greatest president we never had." Visit CandiceMillard.com and follow this week's guest @Candice_Millard on Twitter. If you're fascinated by Churchill, catch our interview with Jonathan Sandys, Churchill's great-grandson and the host of Churchill Chat. His book is God & Churchill: How the Great Leader's Sense of Divine Destiny Changed His Troubled World and Offers Hope for Ours. You can also listen to our discussion with Simon Read, author of Winston Churchill Reporting: Adventures of a Young War Correspondent.    

Between 1837 and 1904, rumors spread of a strange bounding devil who haunted southern England, breathing blue flames and menacing his victims with steel talons. In this episode of the Futility Closet podcast we review the career of Spring-Heeled Jack and speculate about his origins. We also recount Alexander Graham Bell's efforts to help the wounded James Garfield before his doctors' treatments could kill him and puzzle over why a police manual gives instructions in a language that none of the officers speak.
