Summary

"Rivers of America" explores the profound impact of the nation's waterways on its history, geography, and environmental landscape. It reveals how rivers like the Mississippi, Missouri, Colorado, and Columbia shaped settlement patterns, facilitated trade, and influenced economic development. For example, the Mississippi River served not only as a crucial transportation route for goods and people, but also as a defining factor in the expansion and growth of the United States. The book uniquely connects natural history with human history, illustrating how these river systems molded cultural identities and economic opportunities.

 
The book progresses by first establishing the geological and ecological context of rivers, then examining their historical roles in regional development through case studies. Finally, it addresses contemporary issues in river management and conservation. This approach provides a holistic understanding of the complex relationship between rivers and American society. It underscores the pivotal role of rivers, offering a fresh perspective on America's past and a vital guide for its future by examining environmental history, water management, and the enduring significance of these vital waterways.

It also explores Joan of Arc, and the truly astonishing Jacqueline of Hainault, a woman far more impressive than any English monarch.

Perfect for fans of satire, history lovers with a sense of humor, or anyone who enjoys seeing pompous monarchs taken down a peg, this standalone volume delivers laughter alongside the Lancasters and Yorks, as they fight over the the princes in the tower and  theendless succession of pretenders to the throne, while also pretending to the throne of France once England was in hand. 
After all, why should history be serious when it’s this absurd?

    From Ashes to OpportunityI see that my purpose—my love—is fixing things. Families, after my dad left. Businesses, struggling to survive. Boats, deserving of glory instead of ashes. —Wes WheelerWes Wheeler has spent his life fixing things. From a young age, the New York native witnessed the decline of his family’s multi-generational boat business, watching it, quite literally, burn to the ground. While sorting through the ashes of the once successfully run company alongside his father, Wheeler’s future was decided for him. Instead of succumbing to the idea that businesses disintegrate and leave behind hordes of unemployed workers, their mission buried beneath burned bridges and abandoned dreams, Wheeler opted to arm himself with a work ethic built on faith, drive, and dogged determination.In The Turnaround Leader, Wheeler recounts his decades of managing projects for rising and falling companies, reshaping organizations, and restructuring business models to stand the test of time. Wheeler’s lifetime of ambition was launched during his humble beginnings as a paper delivery boy, where he discovered the little shifts that make a big difference, from the way he angled the papers he threw, to how he engaged with customers and mapped out his routes. These tiny lessons compounded over time and bolstered him while he faced difficult economic headwinds and ill-suited business leaders that preceded him, his most rewarding challenge being his leadership role during the COVID-19 pandemic. In a world where business models are rapidly changing and employment is never promised, Wheeler’s ability to adapt is both inspiring and achievable.
