Sinopse

G.K. Chesterton's "William Blake" offers a penetrating examination of the visionary poet and artist's life and work, seamlessly intertwining biographical insight and literary critique. Written in Chesterton's signature style—marked by wit, paradox, and fervent appreciation—this exploration reveals Blake's profound influence on both art and literature. Chesterton places Blake within the turbulent socio-political context of the Romantic era, highlighting how the artist's rebellion against conventional norms shaped his innovative metaphysical ideas and artistic expressions. As a noted critic and biographer, Chesterton's insights are rooted in his own passionate engagement with faith, spirituality, and the imaginative realms often overlooked by contemporary society. His admiration for Blake burgeoned from his desire to explore the intersections between art, philosophy, and religion. Chesterton's fascination with the dichotomy of Blake's life—marked by both genius and obscurity—fuels this illuminating discourse, reflecting a lifelong preoccupation with the transcendent and the human experience. Readers interested in the intersections of art, mysticism, and social commentary will find Chesterton's "William Blake" an essential addition to their literary repertoire. This book not only serves as an introduction to Blake's work but also as a heartfelt tribute from one literary giant to another, encouraging readers to delve deeper into the nuances of their artistic identities.

    A searing chronicle of ambition, brutality, and collapse, Broken Supremacy: The Rise and Fall of the Wehrmacht in Russia reveals the untold dimensions of the most catastrophic military campaign in modern history. 
    At the height of its power, the Wehrmacht was celebrated as an unstoppable force, an army honed on lightning victories, driven by a doctrine of speed and annihilation. Yet on the vast, unforgiving battlefields of the Eastern Front, that supremacy was shattered. This groundbreaking work peels back the myths to expose the flawed strategies, fatal hubris, and relentless resistance that led to the Wehrmacht’s disintegration against the Soviet war machine. 
    Drawing on newly unearthed archives, soldiers’ testimonies, and penetrating analysis, the book traces the Wehrmacht’s trajectory from its initial triumphs in 1941 to its devastating reversals at Stalingrad, Kursk, and beyond. It examines the interplay between ideology and strategy, the limitations of military innovation, and the human toll of a conflict that claimed millions of lives. More than a military history, it is an unflinching portrait of a regime’s overreach and the resilience of those who resisted it. 
    Written with cinematic immediacy and scholarly authority, Broken Supremacy illuminates how the Wehrmacht’s rise carried the seeds of its downfall, and why its defeat in Russia sealed the fate of Nazi Germany itself.

    Without the nineteen upstate reservoirs that supply its water, New York City as we know it would not exist today. 
     
     
     
    From 1907 to 1967, a network of reservoirs and aqueducts was built across more than one million acres in upstate New York, including Greene, Delaware, Sullivan, and Ulster Counties. This feat of engineering served to meet New York City's ever-increasing need for water, sustaining its inhabitants and cementing it as a center of industry. West of the Hudson, it meant that twenty-six villages, with their farms, forest lands, orchards, and quarries, were bought for a fraction of their value, demolished, and submerged, profoundly altering ecosystems in ways we will never fully appreciate. 
     
     
     
    This paradox of victory and loss is at the heart of Nineteen Reservoirs, Lucy Sante's meticulous account of how New York City secured its seemingly limitless fresh water supply, and why it cannot be taken for granted. In inimitable form, Sante plumbs the historical record to surface forgotten archives and images, bringing lost places back to life on the page. Her immaculately calibrated sensitivity honors both perspectives on New York City's reservoir system and helps us understand the full import of its creation.

    The award-winning history of the women who went West to work in Fred Harvey's restaurants along the Santa Fe railway—and went on to shape the American Southwest 
     
     
     
    From the 1880s to the 1950s, the Harvey Girls went west to work in Fred Harvey's restaurants along the Santa Fe railway. At a time when there were "no ladies west of Dodge City and no women west of Albuquerque," they came as waitresses, but many stayed and settled, founding the struggling cattle and mining towns that dotted the region. Interviews and historical research help recreate the Harvey Girl experience. The accounts are personal, but laced with the history the women lived: the dust bowl, the depression, and anecdotes about some of the many famous people who ate at the restaurants—Teddy Roosevelt, Shirley Temple, Bob Hope, to name a few. 
     
     
     
    The Harvey Girls was awarded the winner of the 1991 New Mexico Press Women's ZIA award.
