History

New York, New York, U.S.A.: Manchester Univ Pr, 1991. Nice clean book in very good condition. ***** "This absorbing collection of eight essays gives readers a glimpse of the historic events of 1989 from an Eastern European point of view. East German Jens Reich describes "wall-sickness," the dullness and loneliness that come from being caged in the center of Europe, and the sudden, avalanche-like nature of the German revolution. Jan Urban discusses his own resistance to the Czechoslovakian Communist regime and differences between the Prague Spring of 1968 and the revolt of 1989. Jonathan Eyal reviews Ceausescu'sspelled this way in book strategies for exercising power, noting that the revolt that brought him down was only an "outburst of anger" and that Romania's future remains to be decided. Andrei A. Piontkowsky observes that the U.S.S.R.'s decision not to intervene and crush the revolts was less ideologic than pragmatic, deriving from that country's experiences in Afghanistan. In two essays by Westerners, British James Eberle comments that his country must now join the accelerating process of European integrationp. 208 , and John Kenneth Galbraith warns that Eastern Europe will not turn toward a Smithian free market.

King Charles I not only lost the battle but in the end lost his throne and his life. The Parliamentarians were assured of ultimate victory, and Oliver Cromwell began his rise to power. Ashley argues that it was the king's cautious and conciliatory attitude toward the war that led to his defeat at Naseby. In fact, he sums up his narrative with the quote, "It was generalship, not superior numbers or better equipment, that accounts for the Parliamentarian victory at the battle of Naseby." Ashley tells of the movements of both armies before and during the battle, and the despair of the king as he sees his army destroyed and his private papers lost on the battlefield. There is an excellent bibliographical essay for those wanting to learn more about the battle and the civil war..." Maps and drawings. . Soft Cover.

Inv. # 007917 ***** ''The Nasca Lines are one of the world's great enigmas. Who etched the more than 1,000 enormous animal, human, and geometric figures that cover 400 square miles of barren pampa in southern Peru? How did the makers create lifelike images of monkeys, birds, and spiders without an aerial or mountain vantage point from which to view these giant figures that stretch across thousands of square yards? Most puzzling of all, why did the ancient Nasca people lay out these astonishing lines and images in the desert? These are the questions that pioneering archaeoastronomer Anthony Aveni seeks to answer in this book.<P>Writing for a wide public audience, Aveni begins by establishing the Nasca Lines as a true wonder of the ancient world. He describes how viewers across the centuries have tried to interpret the lines and debunks some of the wilder theories. Then he vividly recounts his own years of exploration at Nasca in collaboration with archaeologists, anthropologists, astronomers, and engineers and the discoveries that have answered many of the riddles about who made the Nasca Lines, when, and for what purposes. He also demonstrates how the lines manifest a universal human desire to create monumental earthworks that extends around the globe and to the present day.<P>We may never fully know why the Nasca Lines were inscribed in the Peruvian pampa, but this book offers a fascinating overview of what the leading expert and his colleagues currently understand. It's required reading for everyone intrigued by ancient mysteries.". Hard Cover. Very Good/Very Good. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. more information

Ithaca, New York, U.S.A.: Cornell Univ Pr, 1998. Nice clean book in very good condition. ***** "James Madison was the finest democratic theorist that the United States has ever produced. His was the pivotal philosophical role in framing the Constitution and establishing the principles on which a wholly new form of government was to be based. Yet this widely informed and profoundly original thinker has been considered by most scholars to be an intellectual pragmatist who reacted variably and inconsistently to the changing circumstances of the Revolution and the Confederation. Lance Banning's powerful and persuasive reexamination of Madison's thought at the critical early and central stages of his career now changes that presumption, and provides a new base from which thinking about Madison and the Founding must start. The Sacred Fire of Liberty follows Madison from his appearance on the national stage (in Congress in 1780) through the end of 1792. By the end of this period, he had achieved his mature understanding of the Constitution, and his collision with many of the other Federalists of 1788 had made him a leader of the opposition to the administration of George Washington. Banning convinces the reader, through his meticulous research and deeply contextualized presentation of the shifting issues of the period, that Madison indeed held to consistent principles: he was at once a more committed democrat and a less eager nationalist than usually has been thought. The thinking that had underpinned his actions at the great convention, his numbers of The Federalist, and the supposed reversal of positions represented by his joining with Thomas Jefferson to form the first Republican party had firmed by 1792 into the understandings that would guide the rest of his career.".

Route 66 has such name recognition that in the past twenty years it has been used to advertise products ranging from blue jeans, to root beer, to automobiles. The highway enjoyed only about thirty years of dominance as a primary auto and truck route from 1926 to around 1956. Gradually replaced by interstates into the 1980s, Route 66 became forever fixed in the history and lore of the Southwest and the United States. Route 66 provides a unique vantage point from which to better understand American popular culture from the 1920s to the present. The purpose of this book is not to simply recount the history of Route 66, but to create a comprehensive portrait of the cultural meaning of the highway. What was Route 66 at its pinnacle, what is it today, and what might it become in the future?". Paperback. Very Good. more information
