Donald Wigal
Historic Maritime Maps

2007 y.
Publisher: Grange Books
Description: This book presents a selection of oceanic charts dating from the 13lh to the 17th century. Though to us they may appear rudimentary, they bear excellent witness to the achievements of the early European navigators, and to their determination to explore the very ends of the Earth. What the charts may lack in geographical accuracy they undoubtedly make up for in charm. And of course they are priceless historical records. Recounting the epic voyages of maritime exploration, from Erik the Red to Robert Peary, author Donald Wigal leads us on an exciting journey from Terra Incognita to the World As We Know It.

Historic Photos of Ernest Hemingway

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: When Ernest Hemingway won the 1954 Nobel Prize for Literature, presenters called him one of this epoch`s great molders of style, praising his vivid dialogue and journalistic eye for robust details to accumulate and take on momentous significance. But even the Swedish Academy could not separate Hemingway the writer from Hemingway the adventurer. They also cited his manly love of danger and adventure, with a natural admiration for every individual who fights the good fight in a world of reality overshadowed by violence and death. From the 1920s until his death in 1961, Papa Hemingway was a larger-than-life literary figure whose everyday exploits became legendary. He was a friend of celebrities, a war correspondent, journalist, renowned big-game hunter, record-setting saltwater angler, and hard-drinking brawler whose reputation preceded him. Though Hemingway was and remains an American icon, he was also first and foremost a human being, as these striking black-and-white photos remind. [detailed...]

Historic Preservation &, the Imagined West: Albuquerque, Denver, &, Seattle

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Stroll down Larimer Street in Denver or through Pioneer Square in Seattle and you feel that you`re stepping into history while browsing the expensive boutiques and tourist shops. But are you? In this intriguing study of some of America`s favorite places, Judy Morley takes a fresh look at adaptive reuse efforts in cities of the former frontier. Focusing on urban preservation resulting from the competing interests of architectural preservationists, city planners, chambers of commerce, and boosters, she shows how developers have often taken artistic license to re-create the western past into shopping centers and tourist traps-in ways that privilege an imagined `heritage` over a more complex history. Examining Old Town Albuquerque, Larimer Street and LoDo in Denver, and Pioneer Square and Pike Place Market in Seattle, Morley describes the creation and marketing of western heritage under the guise of historic preservation. She draws on extensive interviews, city council… [detailed...]

Description: Located on the site of the original Sears Tower, the historic Sears, Roebuck and Company catalog plant is one of the nation`s most unique landmarks. Representing American ingenuity at its best, Richard Sears and Julius Rosenwald combined technology, commrce, and social science with bricks and mortar to build ?the World`s Largest Store? on Chicago`s West Side.

The complex employed 20,000 people, and merchandise orders were processed and delivered by rail?within the same day.

Historical Atlas of the Napolenoic Era

2004 y.
Publisher: Mercury Books
Description: The French Revolution sent shockwaves through Europe, as the continent’s monarchs tried to stamp out the tide of republicanism. France was surrounded by enemies but fought them off, largely through the achievements of Napoleon Bonaparte, the Republic’s youngest general. Within a decade he had become Consul, First Consul, and finally Emperor, creating a new dynasty and a new order in Europe. From 1803 until 1809 he seemed unbeatable, vanquishing his foes one after another, but his invasion of Russia in 1812 proved disastrous and he faced a growing coalition of enemy powers. His defeat at the Battle of Waterloo marked the close of the Napoleonic era, but not the end of the Napoleonic legend. This book charts Napoleon’s rise and fall and analyses the weaponry and rival armies that were to transform 19th Century Europe. [detailed...]

Historical Development of Capitalism in the United States and Its Affects on the American Family: 1920 to 1960:Volume Two

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Since the 18th Century, Americans have engaged in the pursuit of happiness through the consumption of material things. It is written in the Preamble to the U.S. Constitution that Americans have a right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Interestingly, the pursuit has resulted in suicide for more white males 65 years old and over than any other age group. Louisiana is the second most unhealthiest state in America, and 40 million Americans live without any health insurance. These signs of unhappiness have continued to evolve over time. By 1950, Americans produced $43.7 billion worth of manufactured goods, and by 1958, $141 billion. The average annual salary for males was $2,831 in 1958, $1,559 for females. During this time, the American household was classified as husband-wife. In 1920, 86.0 percent were husband-wife, by 1960, this percent declined to 70.0 percent. Divorce accelerated by 1960. During the 1950s, the husband-wife household was already rapidly… [detailed...]

Historical Development of Capitalism in the United States and Its Affects on the American Family: From Colonial Times to 1920

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: This book takes a giant step out of conventional thinking, and proceeds to establish the inseparable connection that exists between the American Family and capitalism. Too often, answers to the critical questions of American family decay are sought separately from the interdependent history it shares with the economic system in which it takes place. By choosing to end our search for cause within the effect of American family decay, and by using this new freedom of inquiry, we can return to a timein our history when the American family was free of the great troubles it is undergoing today. By doing so, it is possible to discover at what point the fabric of the American family began to unravel. Once we see when the problem began and what caused it, this makes it possible to take individual and collective action to change and reproduce the American family anew, exclusive of violence and war.
