Sinossi

In a time of turmoil and uncertainty, two titans of American history, Thomas Jefferson and John Adams, clashed in a battle for the soul of the young republic. The election of 1800 was a watershed moment, a contest of ideologies, personalities, and political intrigue that would forever change the course of the nation.

This captivating narrative transports readers to the heart of this epic struggle, where the Federalists and Republicans, deeply divided by their visions for America's future, fought tooth and nail for control. We witness the rise of partisan politics, the birth of modern political campaigning, and the emergence of a nation deeply divided along regional, economic, and social lines.

Through the eyes of Jefferson, the brilliant architect of democracy, and Adams, the steadfast guardian of order, we experience the high-stakes drama of the election, the bitter personal rivalries, and the relentless pursuit of power. We follow Jefferson as he navigates the treacherous waters of political compromise and the challenges of leading a young and fragile nation, while Adams grapples with the demands of office and the weight of history.

The election of 1800 was not merely a contest between two men, but a clash of worldviews that would shape the course of American democracy. It was a time of great uncertainty and upheaval, yet also a time of immense hope and possibility. As we revisit this pivotal moment, we gain a deeper understanding of the foundations of our nation and the enduring principles that have guided us through the trials and triumphs of our history.

This book is a must-read for anyone interested in American history, politics, or the enduring legacy of the founding fathers. With its vivid storytelling, insightful analysis, and cast of unforgettable characters, it brings to life a pivotal moment in our nation's history and offers a fresh perspective on the challenges and triumphs that have shaped the American experiment.

    A fresh look at the American Revolution as a major global event At the time of the American Revolution (1765–83), the British Empire had colonies in India, Africa, the Caribbean, the Pacific, Canada, Ireland, and Gibraltar. The thirteen rebellious American colonies accounted for half of the total number of provinces in the British world in 1776. What of the loyal half? Why did some of Britain's subjects feel so aggrieved that they wanted to establish a new system of government, while others did not rebel? In this authoritative history, Trevor Burnard and Andrew Jackson O'Shaughnessy show that understanding the long-term causes of the American Revolution requires a global view. As much as it was an event in the history of the United States, the American Revolution was an imperial event produced by the upheavals of managing a far-flung set of imperial possessions during a turbulent period of reform. By looking beyond the familiar borders of the Revolution and considering colonies that did not rebel—Quebec, Nova Scotia, Bermuda, India, the British Caribbean, Senegal, and Ireland—Burnard and O'Shaughnessy go beyond the republican, liberal, and democratic aspects of the emerging American nation, providing a broader history that transcends what we think we know about the Revolution.

    The slow violence being inflicted on our environment—through everything from carbon emissions to plastic pollution—also represents an impending public health catastrophe. Yet standard health care practices are more concerned with short-term outcomes than long-term sustainability. Every resource used to deliver medical care, from IV tubes to antibiotics to electricity, has a significant environmental impact. This raises an urgent ethical dilemma: in striving to improve the health outcomes of individual patients, are we damaging human health on a global scale? 
 
 
  
In Dying Green, award-winning educator Christine Vatovec offers an engaging study that asks us to consider the broader environmental sustainability of health care. Through a comparative analysis of the care provided to terminally ill patients in a conventional cancer ward, a palliative care unit, and an acute-care hospice facility, she shows how decisions made at a patient's bedside govern the environmental footprint of the healthcare industry. Likewise, Dying Green offers insights on the many opportunities that exist for reducing the ecological impacts of medical practices in general, while also enhancing care for the dying in particular. By envisioning a more sustainable approach to care, this book offers a way forward that is better for both patients and the planet.

    Westerners today grow up with abundant opportunities to determine their own values, identities, and roles in society. But for generations, millions who lived under Soviet rule in the USSR had these essential freedoms withheld, determined instead by a central authority that claimed the right to choose for them and enforce their compliance. Thirty years after the Soviet Union’s decisive collapse, the old communist paradigm continues to limit those who come of age in a post-Soviet world. 
Everyone Is an Entrepreneur showcases the experience of an American author acclimating to life in the developing post-Soviet economy of Armenia. Along the way, he examines how the intelligent and hardworking people he lives among are stuck in a state of transition away from all-encompassing, bureaucratic control. They struggle to adjust to the responsibilities of economic self-determination because they have never learned how to see the world through entrepreneurial eyes. 
Entrepreneurship is a principled way of seeing the world, a paradigm that applies to people in all cultural and economic circumstances: Artists, office workers, doctors, teachers, farmers, and laborers alike. By adopting this universal outlook, anyone can produce more wealth, accomplish bigger goals, and take control of their life like never before.
