This first full-scale biography of the American inventor, entrepreneur, and political visionary reveals the stunning diversity of his unique genius. World famous for his steamboats, Fulton originally hoped to be an artist. but when he was twenty-seven years old, he shifted his focus to engineering. Fulton designed a system of lockless canals. Even more important to him. were the submarine boat and bombs he built for the French and then sold to the British. Fulton returned to America in 1806. Within a year he had established the first steamboat service in the world and gained President Jefferson's support for his submarine weapons. With penetrating historical sweep and a wealth of personal detail, Philip's landmark biography presents a compelling and sometimes shocking in-depth portrait of the mercurial Robert Fulton. Based on contemporary letters, diaries, paintings and drawings, most of which have never been published before, ROBERT FULTON is as dramatic and surprising as it is true." .

Paperback. Condizione: New. In this exciting new volume from the Society for Economic Anthropology, Cynthia Werner and Duran Bell bring together a group of distinguished anthropologists and economists to discuss the complex ways in which different cultures imbue material objects with symbolic qualities whose value cannot be reduced to material or monetary equivalents. Objects with sacred or symbolic qualities are valued quite differently than mundane objects, and the contributors to this volume set out to unravel how and why. In the first of three sections, the authors consider the extent to which sacred objects can or cannot be exchanged between individuals (e.g., ancestral objects, land, dreaming stories). In the next section, contributors discuss the value and power of markets, money, and credit. They consider theoretical models for understanding money transactions, competing currencies, and the power of credit among marginalized groups around the globe. The last section examines the ways in which contemporary people bestow symbolic value on some objects (e.g., family heirlooms, pre-Columbian artifacts, fashion goods) and finally how some individuals themselves are valued in monetary and symbolic ways. With its emphasis on the interplay of cultural and economic values, this volume will be a vital resource for economists and economic anthropologists.

Hardback. Condizione: New. The general theme of Volume 24 is the impact of, and reaction to, the spread of market systems and market liberalization by local communities. Part I examines cases in which migration has opened new market and entrepreneurial opportunities to local populations. Part II contains cases that describe ethnographically the impacts the oil industry market has had on towns of Louisiana's Gulf coast. The essays of Part III concern themselves with community repercussions that recent neoliberal market policies have had, while Part IV contains papers that analyse the process in which values of products and services are defined economically, culturally and politically in the context of developing markets and commoditization. This book focuses on market systems and market liberalization in local communities. Specific topics addressed include the oil industry and the gulf coast, negotiating values in the market, and many more. The international case examples provide a global perspective.…
