Beschreibung

"The Titanic" explores the complete story of the infamous ocean liner, from its ambitious beginnings to its tragic sinking in the North Atlantic. It examines the vessel's design and construction, the social context of its maiden voyage, and the catastrophic events that led to its demise, arguing that the disaster was a result of multiple factors, including design flaws and insufficient safety regulations. The book emphasizes the importance of rigorous safety standards and the inherent fallibility of even the most advanced technology.

 
This exploration of maritime history reveals intriguing facts, such as the societal confidence in technology bordering on arrogance, and the stark social hierarchy evident in the disparities between first and third-class accommodations.

 
The book unfolds chronologically, starting with the White Star Line and the competitive transatlantic travel market, progressing through the ship's construction and the fateful voyage, and concluding with the aftermath, inquiries, and ongoing explorations of the wreck site.

 
Drawing on original blueprints, survivor testimonies, and modern wreck site expeditions, this book provides a balanced and evidence-based narrative for general readers interested in history, maritime enthusiasts, and students. It avoids sensationalism, focusing instead on a grounded historical presentation that connects engineering, sociology, and maritime history to provide a comprehensive understanding of the Titanic's enduring legacy.

    “The Spring and Autumn & Warring States Periods” takes you on a journey through one of the most transformative eras in Chinese history, marked by endless battles, brilliant strategies, and the rise and fall of powerful leaders. 
    The story begins with the collapse of the Western Zhou dynasty, paving the way for a fragmented political landscape. The book brings to life the Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn period, such as Duke Huan of Qi and Duke Zhuang of Zheng, and the Seven Warring States, which competed for supremacy. Key events include Duke Zhuang's rise to power, the cunning reforms of Guan Zhong in Qi, and the power struggles like the Wu-Yue rivalry and the pivotal partitioning of Jin into Zhao, Wei, and Han. 
    Iconic characters leap from the pages: Duke Zhuang of Zheng, who asserted dominance through strategic alliances and decisive victories; Guan Zhong, whose reforms transformed Qi into a powerhouse; and military geniuses like Sun Bin and his rivalry with Pang Juan. Philosophers like Confucius, Laozi, and Mozi also emerge, their ideas responding to the chaos and laying the intellectual groundwork for Chinese civilization. 
    Major reforms, like Shang Yang’s legal transformations in Qin, herald the transition from feudalism to centralized states, culminating in the Qin dynasty's unification of China. The book captures the drama of this era with vivid storytelling, exploring the lives of farmers, soldiers, and scholars amid upheaval. 
    This period shaped China’s political and cultural future, making this book essential for understanding one of the world's oldest civilizations. Whether you’re a history enthusiast or curious about China’s roots, this accessible account brings an extraordinary epoch to life.

    Iron Brigade and Stonewall...

    The Eastern Theater of the Civil War saw the bloodiest and most famous battles, as well as the biggest losses, giving the Iron Brigade a chance to demonstrate its mettle during legendary confrontations with Robert E. Lee’s Army of Northern Virginia, particularly at the battles of Second Bull Run, South Mountain, Antietam, and Gettysburg. In fact, the brigade suffered the highest percentage of casualties of any brigade in the Civil War, rendering it almost incapable of maintaining a fighting force by June 1864, during the middle of Ulysses S. Grant’s Overland Campaign. 
    General Thomas Jonathan Jackson and his brigade earned the nickname “Stonewall” at First Manassas by turning the tide of that battle, and they would become known as the legendary foot cavalry by bottling up 3 different Union armies in the Shenandoah Valley in 1862. Although Stonewall Jackson and the Stonewall Brigade may share the most famous nickname to come out of the Civil War, it’s still unclear whether Barnard Bee, the general who provided the legendary name at First Manassas, meant it as a complaint that they were not moving or as a compliment for standing resolute in the heat of battle. 
    Regardless, the Stonewall Brigade went on to fight in every major battle in the Eastern theater of the American Civil War, to the extent that of the 6,000 men who fought with the brigade over the course of four years, less than 200 remained by the time General Robert E. Lee surrendered at Appomattox Courthouse on April 9, 1865. They were organized, trained, and mentored by one of the most revered military leaders in American history, and they made a decisive impact on battles like First Manassas, the 1862 Valley Campaign, and Chancellorsville. The brigade was virtually a spent force by the end of the Battle of Spotsylvania Courthouse in May 1864, which took place nearly a year after Stonewall Jackson himself had been mortally wounded at Chancellorsville.

    In Bringing Home the White House, Melissa Estes Blair introduces us to five fascinating yet unheralded women who were at the heart of campaigns to elect and reelect some of our most beloved presidents. By examining the roles of these political strategists in affecting the outcome of presidential elections, Blair sheds light on their historical importance and the relevance of their individual influence. 
     
     
     
    In the middle decades of the twentieth century both major political parties had Women's Divisions. The leaders of these divisions—five women who held the job from 1932 until 1958—organized tens of thousands of women all over the country, turning them into the "saleswomen for the party" by providing them with talking points, fliers, and other material they needed to strike up political conversations with their friends and neighbors. The leaders of the Women's Divisions also produced a huge portion of the media used by the campaigns—over 90 percent of all print material in the 1930s—and were close advisors of the presidents of both parties. 
     
     
     
    In spite of their importance, these women and their work have been left out of the narratives of midcentury America. In telling the story of these women, Blair reveals the ways that women were central to American politics from the depths of the Great Depression to the height of the Cold War.
