Sinopsis

In "Trails of the Pathfinders," George Bird Grinnell embarks on an evocative exploration of the American wilderness, blending meticulous historical research with his vivid narrative style. Grinnell deftly intertwines the experiences of notable Native American tribes and early explorers, providing a profound commentary on their interactions with the natural landscape. The text is marked by rich descriptions and a keen sensitivity to the indigenous cultures, demonstrating Grinnell's commitment to preserving their legacies amid the encroaching modernity of the early 20th century. This book stands as both a personal testament and a scholarly examination of the American frontier, infusing the reader with a sense of nostalgia for a disappearing world. George Bird Grinnell, a prominent educator, naturalist, and conservationist, was driven by a profound respect for Native American cultures and a desire to document their knowledge of the land. His extensive work with indigenous peoples and his passionate advocacy for wildlife conservation may have inspired him to write this book, aiming not merely to recount the stories of the past but to elevate the voices of those who lived within and shaped it. "Trails of the Pathfinders" is essential reading for enthusiasts of American history, wildlife conservation, and indigenous studies. Grinnell's unique blend of factual rigor and lyrical prose invites readers to embark on a journey through America'Äôs natural and cultural heritage, making it a poignant reminder of the delicate balance between man and nature.

    Ancient Romans liked money. But how did they make a living and sometimes even become rich? The Roman economy was dominated by agriculture, but it was surprisingly modern in many ways: the Romans had companies with CEOs, shareholders, and detailed contracts regulated by meticulous laws; systems of banking and taxation; and a wide range of occupations, from merchant and doctor to architect and teacher. The Romans also enjoyed a relatively open society, where some could start from the bottom, work, invest, and grow rich. How to Make Money gathers a wide variety of ancient writings that show how Romans thought about, made, invested, spent, lost, and gave away money. 
     
     
     
    The Roman elite idealized farming and service to the state but treated many other occupations with suspicion or contempt, from money lending to wage labor. But whatever their attitudes, pecunia made the Roman world go round. In the Satyricon, Trimalchio brags about his wealth. Seneca accumulated a fortune—but taught that money can't buy happiness. Eumachia inherited a brick factory from her father, married well, and turned to philanthropy after she was widowed. How to Make Money also takes up some of the most troubling aspects of the Roman economy, slavery and prostitution, which the elite deemed unrespectable but often profited from.
