  Country Capitalism - How...

  Bart Elmore

  The rural roads that led to our planet-changing global economy ran through the American South. That region's impact on the interconnected histories of business and ecological change is narrated here by acclaimed scholar Bart Elmore, who uses the histories of five southern firms—Coca-Cola, Delta Airlines, Walmart, FedEx, and Bank of America—to investigate the environmental impact of our have-it-now, fly-by-night, buy-on-credit economy. Elmore explores the historical, economic, and ecological conditions that gave rise to these five trailblazing corporations. He then considers what each has become: an essential presence in the daily workings of the global economy and an unmistakable contributor to the reshaping of the world's ecosystems. Even as businesses invest in sustainability initiatives and respond to new calls for corporate responsibility, Elmore shows the limits of their efforts to "green" their operations and offers insights on how governments and activists can push corporations to do better. 
   
   
   
  Our lives are built around businesses that connect far-flung rural places to urban centers and global destinations. This "country capitalism" that proved successful in the US South has made it possible to satisfy our demands at the click of a button, but each click comes with hidden environmental costs.

  The Trojan War Start to Finish -...

  The Age of Legends

  You know the names. Achilles, Hector, Helen, the horse. But every time you try to hear the whole Trojan War, you get a fragment of the Iliad, a dry summary, or a list of gods you can never keep straight.
  
  Press play and the war unfolds as one story, told start to finish in the warm, wry register of a storyteller rather than a scholar. You watch the golden apple roll onto the table at Thetis's wedding, hear Paris choose Helen and set the ships moving, and stand beside Agamemnon and Achilles as their quarrel poisons the camp. Patroclus falls, Hector faces the man he cannot beat, and old Priam walks into the enemy tent to beg for his son's body. Above it all, the gods bicker on Olympus in sharp, funny, jealous dialogue, as flawed as the mortals they toy with.
  
  By the last chapter, Troy is burning and you finally understand how it all fits together. Press play, and let the war begin.

  “A memoir that offers a rare, underrepresented perspective of World War II.” -Kirkus
  
  _A true story of a Romanian family’s miraculous survival of World War II, becoming refugees, fleeing their homeland, starving after the war, and coming to the United States to live the American Dream._Life was full of promise for the young Maroscher family. Gustav was a teacher; Helene was busy rearing two boys and managing their small farm. The war changed everything. While Gustav fought the Russians on the Eastern Front, Helene fled the advancing army to her sister’s house in Germany. Danger and hardship transformed Helene from a shy young mother into a lioness; she once pointed an illegal pistol at the Nazi refugee camp director to save her younger son’s life. In the early years of the war, Gustav had helped a Jewish friend at considerable risk to himself. As a released prisoner of war, Gustav faced certain arrest after returning home. His friend, now the communist police commissioner, protected him. Eventually, though, his friend could no longer protect him, and Gustav fled to the West.To reunite the family, Helene and her sons made a dangerous nighttime border crossing from communist East Germany to the West. After being reunited in West Germany they faced discrimination and hunger. The family immigrated to the USA and embraced the freedoms and opportunities of America. Gustav became an engineer working on NASA’s Moon Shot. Helene became an independent businesswoman. Their sons continue to thrive and enjoy their freedom.
