Neuware - 'A richly imaginative historical novel.a remarkable story.a unique addition to Revolutionary War literature.' -- The Berkshire Eagle'Meticulously researched' -- Chronogram Magazine'Compelling.enjoyed this novel thoroughly'.a 'gem.' -- Historical Novels ReviewHe was a she.During the Revolutionary War, a young man called Robert Shurtlieff enlisted in the Continental Army. Stationed at West Point, he was chosen for the elite Light Infantry to fight Tory loyalists terrorizing the Hudson Valley. He served for 17 months, was wounded in combat, got promoted as an aide to a general, and received an honorable discharge. This is a true story. But in fact, 'Robert' secretly was a young woman named Deborah Sampson. Of Mayflower ancestry but born into poverty, she was sent from home at age five to earn her keep. Frustrated by the limitations she faced as a young woman, she donned men's clothing and went off to seek opportunity and freedom.She won respect as the man she wasn't. But sought respect for the woman she was.After the war she married and had children, while continuing to suffer from her old wound. Her petition for a veteran's pension, supported by Paul Revere, was ignored by Congress, and she was the victim of media misinformation. She went on the road to tell her story, the first American woman to do a lecture tour. In this fictionalized memoir told in the first person, Deborah seeks to set the record straight about her life and military service as America's first female veteran, and to overcome prejudice against her for transgressing societal norms.The author Jan Lewis Nelson grew up in the same small Massachusetts town as Deborah. This historical novel is based on Jan's three years of research, which included living in the house where Deborah was born. It tells of the hardships she faced as a soldier and as a woman in the early days of the nation. Written nearly fifty years ago, her book is published now for the first time.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - 'A bold thesis.weaves anecdote and analysis.provocative.futurism by way of personal odyssey.' -- Brian K. Mahoney, Chronogram Magazine'Congratulations Steve Nelson for your remarkable time and effort to capture this moment in human history!

Fire in a wire.Many archaic humans arose and then went extinct, like the Neanderthals. Conventional wisdom says Homo sapiens is the sole surviving species of human. But Steven Reed Nelson disagrees. He writes that evolution does not end with sapiens. A dynamic new species is emerging, not in some imagined future but living among us today: Homo electric.The electrified world is our natural habitat. We use electricity for everything: from providing food to medical care to artificial intelligence to sex. We can't live without it. It is fundamentally changing who we are. We can see things, hear things, do things, know things and imagine things not possible without electricity.We no longer live in the natural world observed by Charles Darwin and governed by 'the survival of the fittest.' We can override natural selection. We can alter our DNA. We are taking control of our own evolution. We can, and we must, if we are to survive threats like climate change.If you are curious about who we were, who we are and who we yet might be, read Fire in a Wire. It will challenge you to rethink who you are and who you are becoming as a human being in the Electric Age.…
