Hard Back. Condizione: Very Good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very Good. First Printing. 575 Pages Indexed. Light grey boards with black quarter-spine. Top front corner is lightly barely noticeable bumped. No other defects noted to this otherwise As New book with flawless interior text pages. What is more haunting than the specter… of a civilization's collapse such as the abandoned temples of Angkor Wat, the Maya cities overgrown by jungle, or the somber vigil of Easter Island's statues? Who hasn't looked at such ruins and wondered, could the same thing happen to us? In his Pulitzer Prize-winning bestseller Guns, Germs, and Steel, the author examined how and why Western civilizations developed the technologies and immunities that allowed them to dominate much of the world. Diamond probes the other side of the equation: What caused some of the great civilizations of the past to collapse into ruin, and what can we learn from their fates? As in Guns, Germs, and Steel, Diamond weaves an all-encompassing global thesis through a series of fascinating historical-cultural narratives. Moving from the prehistoric Polynesian culture on Easter Island to the formerly flourishing native American civilizations of the Anasazi and the Maya, the doomed medieval Viking colony on Greenland, and finally to the modern world, Diamond traces a fundamental pattern of catastrophe, spelling out what happens when we squander our resources, when we ignore the signals our environment gives us, and when we reproduce too fast or cut down too many trees. Environmental damage, climate change, rapid population growth, unstable trade partners, and pressure from enemies were all factors in the demise of the doomed societies, but other societies found solution to those same problems and persisted. What makes one environment more fragile than another? Why do some societies, but not others, blunder into self-destruction? Similar problems face us today and have already brought disaster to Rwanda and Haiti, even as China and Australia are trying to cope in innovative ways. Despite our own society's apparently inexhaustible wealth and unrivaled political power, ominous warning signs have begun to emerge even in ecologically robust areas like Montana. What economic, social and political choices can we still make so that we don't meet the same ends? Huge in scope, clear and passionate in style, this book is destined to take its place as one of the essential books of our time, raising the urgent question: How can our world best avoid destroying itself? Contents in Four Parts: Modern Montana, Past Societies, Modern Societies, and Practical Lessons. Ward, Jeffrey - Maps (illustratore).

Trade paperback. First printing [stated]. xvii, 526 p. Illustrations. Maps. Bibliography. Index. This is one of the Penguin History of the United States series. "American Colonies" starts with the earliest years of human colonization of the American continent and environs with the Siberian migrations across the Bering Strait 15,… 000 years ago. It ends in around 1800 when the rough outline of the contemporary North America could be perceived. Dropping the usual Anglo centric description of North America's fate, Taylor brilliantly conveys the far more vivid and startling story of the competing interests-Spanish, French, English, Native, Russian-that over the centuries shaped and reshaped both the continent and its 'suburbs' in the Caribbean and the Pacific. It is one of the greatest of all human stories. Very good. No dust jacket as issued. Ward, Jeffrey (Maps) (illustratore).

Hardcover. Condizione: Very good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very good. xxiii, [1], 373, [1] pages. Illustrations. Notes. A Note to the Reader. Index. DJ has some edge wear. Writing in ink on fep. John F. Ross is an American historian and author. He is the recipient of the 2011 Fort Ticonderoga Award for Contributions to American… History. The author of over 200 articles, Ross' works have appeared in Smithsonian Magazine, the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Reader's Digest, and the Washington Post. Ross is the former Executive Editor of American Heritage and has served on the Board of Editors at Smithsonian Magazine. His book Enduring Courage: Ace Pilot Eddie Rickenbacker and the Dawn of the Age of Speed (St. Martin's Press, 2014) tells the true story of Eddie Rickenbacker, America's greatest flying ace during World War I. Ross details how Rickenbacker overcame class hostility and a lack of formal education, pushing redefining the nature of speed in American society to become one of America's greatest race car drivers and pilots. Derived from a Kirkus review: Energetic look at the World War I ace's early exploits through the prism of exciting modern changes in America. In his passionate biography, Ross finds in Eddie Rickenbacker (1890-1973) a subject as brash, unassuming and heroic as the young American nation at the turn of the 20th century. The author admires the fact that the son of poor Swiss immigrants had so much going against him in the early years and overcame the obstacles through sheer hard work and determination. Rickenbacker adored mechanical tinkering and invention and parlayed his work in a machine shop into becoming "mechanician" at the Oscar Lear Automobile Company, racing state-of-the-art Frayer-Millers. With the United States propelled into the European war in 1917, Rickenbacker talked his way past bigotry against German-Americans, his lack of education and an eye injury and began flying lessons at Tours Aerodrome, essentially teaching himself in the fragile Nieuports that the Germans outclassed in their mightier Albatroses. Aerial dogfights provided plenty of sobering danger and led to the deaths of many of his closest colleagues. In a few short months, Rickenbacker, with 26 kills, was a national hero. First Edition [Stated], First Printing [Stated]. Jeffrey L. Ward (Maps) (illustratore).

Near fine unread condition black boards, black spine, and gold spine lettering contained in a near fine condition non price-clipped photographic dust jacket. Includes List of Other Books by Andrew Carroll; Author Dedication; American Expeditionar…y Forces Chain of Command and Organization; Foreword; Postscript; Acknowledgments; Notes on Sources; Bibliography and Index. Illustrated with black-and-white photographs and maps. A small indent at the upper rear board edge, penetrating somewhat onto tiny repaired closed tear at rear upper jacket edge; the volume is otherwise in as new unread condition (see photographs). Remainder dot at lower page edge. "From the New York Times bestselling author of War Letters and Behind the Lines, Andrew Carroll's My Fellow Soldiers draws on a rich trove of both little known and newly uncovered letters and diaries to create a marvelously vivid and moving account of the American experience in World War I, with General John Pershing featured prominently in the foreground. Andrew Carroll's intimate portrait of General Pershing, who led all of the American troops in Europe during World War I, is a revelation. Given a military force that, on the eve of its entry into the war, was downright primitive compared with the European combatants, the general had to surmount enormous obstacles to build an army and ultimately command millions of U.S. soldiers. But Pershing himself - often perceived as a harsh, humorless, and wooden leader - concealed inner agony from those around him: almost two years before the United States entered the war, Pershing suffered a personal tragedy so catastrophic that he almost went insane with grief and remained haunted by the loss for the rest of his life, as private and previously unpublished letters he wrote to family members now reveal. Before leaving for Europe, Pershing also had a passionate romance with George Patton's sister, Anne. But once he was in France, Pershing fell madly in love with a young painter named Micheline Resco, whom he later married in secret. Woven thoughout Pershing's story are the experiences of a remarkable group of American men and women, both the famous and the unheralded, including Harry Truman, Douglas MacArthur, William "Wild Bill" Donovan, Teddy Roosevelt, and his youngest son, Quentin. The chorus of these voices, which begins with the first Americans who enlisted in the French Foreign Legion as well as those who flew with the Lafayette Escadrille, makes the high stakes of this epic American saga piercingly real, demonstration the war's profound impact on the individuals who served - both during the conflict and in the years after - with extraordinary humanity and emotional force." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps. Quinn, Marysarah (book design); Ward, Jeffrey L. (preliminary page maps); Haggar, Darren (jacket design); Carroll, Chris (author photograph) (illustratore).

New condition beige boards, dark brown spine, and gold spine lettering contained in a new condition non price-clipped color photographic dust jacket. Includes List of Other Books by Bruce Feiler; Author Dedication; Preliminary Page Quote; Introduction and Index. Illustra…ted with front endpapers consisting of The Biblical World c. 2000 - 1200 B.C.E. and rear endpapers consisting of The Middle East. "Anyone who cares at all about the Bible or history or mankind should be grateful for Bruce Feiler. His curiosity is prodigious, his intellect sharp, his legs willing to climb and climb and climb. Mounts Ararat, Sinai, Nebo: he scales them all, then shares the view. I can hardly express, in these few words, the wonder Feiler creates in his splendid book." -- Stephen J. Dubner, author. "Two questions came immediately to mind for me as I read this book: One, how on earth did Bruce Feiler come up with so many new, insightful, witty, and touching things to say about this most ancient of civilized regions? One would have thought the good stories were all taken by now. And, two, why wasn't this book published in time for me to take it with me to Israel?" -- Melissa Fay Greene, author. "Archaeology has very little to say about religious belief. But when the two are in creative interaction, as in this fascinating book, they combine to produce a rich and dense feel for the religious environment out of which Judaism and Christianity emerged. Whatever one believes about the Bible, this book will help one to understand it better." -- Andrew Greeley, author and professor of social science, University of Chicago. Bruce Feiler embarked on a quest for the archaeological and geological basis for the Bible; he has returned from his exploits with a stunning account of contemporary religious fervor and an exploration of the most volatile yet enduring aspects of the human spirit. A riveting journey into history." -- Laurence Bergreen, author. "Bruce Feiler is a keen and thoughtful observer." -- New York Times Book Review. "One part adventure story, one part archaeological detective work, one part spiritual exploration, Walking the Bible vividly recounts an inspiring personal odyssey - by foot, jeep, rowboat, and camel - through the greatest stories ever told. Feeling a desire to reconnect to the Bible, award-winning author Bruce Feiler set out on a perilous, ten-thousand-mile journey, retracing the Five Books of Moses through the desert. Traveling through three continents, five countries, and four war zones, Feiler is the first person to complete such a historic expedition. He crosses the Red Sea, climbs Mount Sinai, and interviews bedouin and pilgrims alike, as he attempts to answer the question: Is the Bible just an abstraction or is it a living, breathing entity? Along with renowned archaeologist Avner Goren, Feiler treks through Turkey, Israel, the Palestinian territories, Egypt, the Sinai, and Jordan, visiting the actual places of some of history's most storied events, from the mountain where Noah's ark landed to the site of the legendary buring bush. He visits the desert outpost in Turkey where Abraham first heard the words of God and faces arrest while camping on Mount Nebo in Jordan, where Moses overlooked the Promised Land. In each place, he scrupulously gathers the latest archaeological research and sits down to read the stories in their natural surroundings. With eloquence and insight, he explores how geography affects the larger narrative of the Bible and ultimately realizes how much these places -- and his experience -- have affected his own faith. Both a pulse-pounding adventure and an uplifting spiritual quest, Bruce Feiler's Walking the Bible is a stunning and elevating work of courage, scholarship, and heart. It revisits the inscrutable desert landscape where the world's great religions were born and uncovers fresh answers to the most profound questions of the human spirit." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.
