Fiorello LaGuardia is known best as the tempestuous mayor of New York City in the days when Franklin Delano Roosevelt sat in the White House. There had been, however, an earlier time, which matched his mayoralty years in sheer drama and perhaps surpassed them in lasting achievement--LaGuardia's years in Congress. He served in the House of Representative almost continuously from 1917 to 1933, representing two ethnically diverse congressional districts: the Fourteenth (Greenwich Village), from 1917 to 1919, and the Twentieth (East Harlem), from 1923 to 1933.

Although barred from important committee posts because of his political independence and thus denied from playing a direct role in lawmaking, he was a tireless and vocal champion of Progressive causes, from allowing more immigration and removing U.S. troops from Nicaragua to speaking up for the rights and livelihoods of striking miners, impoverished farmers, oppressed minorities, and struggling families. A goad to the era's plutocrats and their enablers in government, LaGuardia fought for progressive income taxes, greater government oversight of Wall Street, and national employment insurance for workers idled by the Great Depression.

In this book, first published by Cornell University Press in 1959, Howard Zinn establishes LaGuardia's tenure in Congress as a vital link between the Progressive and New Deal eras, offering a lively and informative account of his many legislative battles, his political philosophy, and the distinctly urban (specifically, New York City) sensibilities he brought to the Progressive movement.

Mi impresora
Style: Starter Bundle
I am very happy with my printer. The print quality is excellent; the colors are vibrant, and the details look crisp. That said, I must admit that I have faced a few challenges when adjusting the tones, but I believe that with a little more practice, I will master them. Overall, it is an investment I highly recommend for anyone looking to get started in the world of sublimation.

Prints beautifully
Style: Starter Bundle
Prints sublimation prints perfectly. Colors are bold and vibrant. The first printer I used was an inkjet that I converted to sublimation. Wish I’d gotten this one first. It’s a world of difference compared to the print quality. So easy to download the drivers to your computer. The printer setup is extremely easy, just follow the prompts. Then, just click and print. Paper tray doesn’t hold a lot, but then again you don’t want too much paper to sit in the paper tray, because it starts to curl around the edge if left to sit out too long. Depending on how much graphics you are printing determines the speed of printing.

Great beginner friendly sublimation printer
Style: Starter Bundle
I have had this for a few months now and I will say still getting the hang of sublimation but it was easy to set up. I wish it was compatible with a tablet. I had to use my daughters laptop instead but it was worth every penny. Great entry level sublimation printer!
