Beschreibung

Navigation Records explores how ancient civilizations navigated the seas, connecting cultures and shaping global interactions. It delves into early exploration by examining ancient maps, maritime logs, and travel accounts. Discover how celestial navigation and dead reckoning were employed without modern technology, and understand the socio-economic drivers behind hazardous voyages of discovery.

 
The book reveals that the evolution of navigation was more than just technological advancement; it was driven by economic needs, political ambitions, and cultural curiosity. For instance, the voyages of Zheng He and Polynesian migrations illustrate the global reach achieved through pre-modern navigation techniques.

 
Structured in three parts, Navigation Records first analyzes early mapping and navigation methods. It then examines specific voyages using primary sources, and concludes by analyzing the consequences, including global trade and cultural exchange. This approach offers a detailed view of maritime history and its impact.

    As US-Russian relations scrape the depths of cold-war antagonism, the promise of partnership that beguiled American administrations during the first post-Soviet decades increasingly appears to have been false from the start. Why did American leaders persist in pursuing it? Was there another path that would have produced more constructive relations or better prepared Washington to face the challenge Russia poses today? 
     
     
     
    With a practitioner's eye honed during decades of work on Russian affairs, Thomas Graham deftly traces the evolution of opposing ideas of national purpose that created an inherent tension in relations. Getting Russia Right identifies the blind spots that prevented Washington from seeing Russia as it really is and crafting a policy to advance American interests without provoking an aggressive Russian response. Distilling the Putin factor to reveal the contours of the Russia challenge facing the United States whenever he departs the scene, Graham lays out a compelling way to deal with it so that the United States can continue to advance its interests in a rapidly changing world.

    ERIC HOFFER BOOK AWARD SHORTLIST FINALIST, BUSINESS CATEGORYNATIONAL FEDERATION OF PRESS WOMEN REGIONAL FINALIST, GENERAL NONFICTIONINDEPENDENT PUBLISHER BOOK AWARDS GOLD MEDAL, CURRENT EVENTS Near midnight on May 23, 2012, the New York Times broke the story that Advance Publications, the New York-based owner of about three dozen US newspapers, would use its 175-year-old New Orleans Times-Picayune as the testing ground for a risky experiment. The Picayune—;which won fierce local devotion, international acclaim, and two Pulitzer Prizes for its heroic coverage of the aftermath of 2005's Hurricane Katrina—;would become a three-day-per-week publication and shift its focus to its much derided nola.com Web site, leaving New Orleans as the largest US city without a daily newspaper. The profitable newspaper, with the country's highest readership penetration in a city its size, then proceeded to purge its veteran newsroom, antagonize much of the city and state, attract negative national and international attention, and jeopardize its vaunted reputation—;all in an effort to create a new blueprint for the profitable operation of American newspapers in today's increasingly digital world.The Times-Picayune wasn't the first or last Advance Publications newspaper to undergo this transformation. The company began implementing this plan at many of its newspapers in 2009 despite waves of protest. However, the Times-Picayune was its foremost guinea pig. In a desperate attempt to recapture public favor, Advance implemented daily newsstand-only editions of the Times-Picayune to supplement its scant coverage. Author Rebecca Theim's deft treatment of the impact on employees and region; the enigmatic owners of Advance Publications; and Advance Publication's ambitious business model is a revelatory exposé of the swiftly changing face of journalism.

    "The unexamined life is not worth living," according to Socrates, but pursuing the examined life strikes many as daunting, unappealing and even unnecessary. Is philosophy important? Why do I need philosophy if I have the Bible? Aren't philosophers simply engaged in meaningless disputes that are irrelevant to everyday life? 
     
     
     
    Mark Foreman addresses these and other questions in this "prelude" to the subject. Unlike a full introduction to philosophy, this book is a preliminary discussion that dispels misunderstandings and explains the rationale for engaging in philosophical reasoning. 
     
     
     
    In the first half of the book, Foreman defines the task of philosophy, compares it to other disciplines and demonstrates its practical value to Christians interested in developing a more thoughtful faith. The second half introduces the listener to logic and argumentation, the essential tools of a philosopher. Concise and straightforward, Prelude to Philosophy is a guide for those looking to embark on the "examined life."
