Renaissance Lawman: The Education and Deeds of Eliot H. Lumbard
Autor Martin Alan Greenbergen Limba Engleză Paperback – 3 feb 2020
Lumbard is easily identified as a renaissance lawman for having gained considerable expertise in the operations of the political and justice systems, and for proceeding to capitalize on this knowledge to become both an advocate and initiator of progressive reforms for criminal justice. His contributions on behalf of public safety have been largely forgotten but throughout this intriguing biography Martin Alan Greenberg successfully juxtaposes many of Lumbard's professional activities with many of the major historical developments and challenges of his time.
The chronicled events emphasize what motivated the people in his generation to behave as they did since the world today is a much different place than what Americans were experiencing in the first three decades after WW II. Cultural and technological changes have combined to make our present-day world quite different from over a half-century ago.
Renaissance Lawman proves to be especially rewarding to a wide-range of readers interested in police work, criminal justice history, public service leadership, and legal ethics. There are no other comparable books on the market. Lumbard certainly had a unique legal career and his impactful contributions have seldom, if ever, been duplicated - even if his contributions, on behalf of public safety, have been largely forgotten.

Recenzii
In the pages of Renaissance Lawman, Martin Alan Greenberg offers an original and lucid account of the remarkable career of Eliot H. Lumbard, a man whose numerous innovative contributions to government, education, criminal justice policy, and beyond have gone unsung for far too long.
Eliot H. Lumbard led a rich, varied, and purposeful life, and he was an accomplished and even visionary leader in his thoughts and actions. Greenberg's exhaustive research and skillful writing have resulted in a wonderful account of Lumbard's contributions that have benefited so many.
The term "renaissance man" has many interpretations - including now to refer to women as well as men. Generally, it means someone with multiple talents, interests and accomplishments. Martin Greenberg's detailed description of Eliot H. Lumbard's achievements clearly puts Lumbard in that class. Greenberg's use of voluminous archival materials enables him to tell a very personal story that at times reads like a personal diary. It is the story of a surprisingly little-known public figure who actually had an enormous impact on the fields of law and criminal justice.
This is a gem of a book about the life and deeds of a man whose contributions to the criminal justice field are legendary. The author, Martin Greenberg offers us a portrait of Eliot H. Lumbard so we can not only can understand his many accomplishments but also have a sense of his appealing and captivating personality. Turn that first page and you will feel the addictive urge to complete the last page. This is a read that will be a hard habit to break.
There are often those who find themselves involved in some of the most important historical events of our times, but their name remains unknown to most people. Eliot Howland Lumbard (1925-2013) is just such a man. Although this Manhattan lawyer may not be a household name, he found himself involved in many of the key events associated with the development of criminal justice in America and his story deserves to be told and told well, and now it has been by Martin Alan Greenberg.
A timely deep dig into the diverse but major contributions of a now largely forgotten force in US criminal justice history. A scholarly but readable tribute that illuminates both past and present.
The accounts of Eliot Lumbard's career reminds one of the many distinguished contributors to the Criminal Justice field that work and dedicate their lives to serving without any fanfare or notoriety even if they are among the best in the vocation. This well written and documented biography by Martin Greenberg has been approached with dignity and honor to one of the unsung heroes of the criminal justice profession.
Dr. Greenberg has written a richly detailed and meticulously sourced account of the life of Eliot H. Lumbard. Through careful research of archives, notes, lecture, interview transcripts, and other records that include many of Lumbard's own words, Dr. Greenberg presents a thorough and thoughtful portrayal of the professional life of a man whose impact on the practice and education of U.S. criminal justice has been profound.
Martin Greenberg provides a comprehensive account of the development of criminal justice and crime policy in the 20th Century. His well-researched and in-depth study of the life and contributions of Eliot Lumbard is impressive. From the development of educational programs in criminology and criminal justice to the evolution of our current strategies, Martin Greenberg has enhanced our knowledge and appreciation of Eliot Lumbard and the field.
Dr. Martin Greenberg's monumental work Renaissance Lawman: The Education and Deeds of Eliot H. Lumbard is a very enjoyable read that describes significant life events of Eliot H. Lumbard and his numerous contributions to New York state and federal crime control policy issues. Readers of Renaissance Lawman will quickly be engrossed as they learn about Lumbard the WW II mariner-seaman, Lumbard the federal prosecutor, Lumbard the John Jay College of Criminal Justice professor and Lumbard in his role as an effective advocate for the renowned New York Police Foundation, and whose genius was responsible for the creation of the New York State Identification & Intelligence System (NYSIIS).
Renaissance Lawman is an important contribution to understanding the complexities within the history of law enforcement in the United States. Laid-out brilliantly in this book, the enormity of contributions Eliot H. Lumbard made to impact the structure and processes dealing with justice, become awe inspiring in that it is amazing one person could contribute so much. Additionally, in a time in which society questions the ethics of those committed to justice, Eliot H. Lumbard shines as a positive example to others interested in improvement on many levels.
