  Why the Nineties Matter

  • 0

  In Why the Nineties Matter, Terry Anderson provides a broad-ranging history of America in that decade. Not simply a chronological account, the book focuses on key trends that either began or gained steam then and which have had lasting effects until this day. Threading together politics, economic transformations, and sociocultural trends, he focuses on what mattered most in retrospect. Violent and extremist white nationalism intensified greatly in that decade, evidenced by the Oklahoma City bombing and the rise of the militia movement. The defection of the white working class from the Democratic Party began then as the Democrats expanded free trade and tried to cultivate professional-class Americans. Racial and gender politics transformed, birthing new movements that would grow in influence in the next century. Social media first emerged in the 1990s too, and its impact on all aspects of life cannot be underestimated. In foreign policy, America's long wars in the Middle East and Afghanistan have roots in US policies in the 1990s. And the current standoff between the US and Russia traces back to disagreements over NATO expansion a quarter century ago. 
   
   
   
  A pithy interpretive history of a decade that matters more than most think, this book will be an essential guide to anyone trying to understand that era.

  If the South Had Won - The...

  The outcome of the Civil War changed dramatically in this alternate history, with the South emerging victorious. The Confederacy’s early victories redefined the course of the conflict and set the stage for a dramatically different future. One of the key factors in the South’s triumph was the strategic advantage gained in the opening years of the war. With superior military leadership, especially from General Robert E. Lee, the Confederacy was able to exploit the Union’s weaknesses and win crucial battles that would eventually shift the momentum in their favor. The Battle of Gettysburg, for instance, saw Confederate forces turning the tide of battle in their favor. With the Union forces retreating, the South captured key northern territories, including Washington D.C., which became a symbol of Confederate dominance. 
  The impact of foreign intervention was another pivotal factor in the war's new direction. European powers, particularly Great Britain and France, had long been sympathetic to the Southern cause due to economic interests, primarily the cotton trade. With the Union struggling, European nations were more inclined to recognize the Confederacy, and this recognition provided them with military and financial support. In this alternate timeline, the Confederacy was not only able to win vital battles but also secure crucial international recognition, which solidified its independence. 
  A key turning point in this reimagined history occurred when the South succeeded in capturing Washington, D.C. After several key victories, the Union’s capital fell into Confederate hands. This was a symbolic and strategic blow to the Union cause. Without the political and military heart of the nation, the North was thrown into disarray. President Abraham Lincoln, unable to maintain control, was forced to negotiate a peace settlement. The Confederate States of America, led by President Jefferson Davis, could now dictate the terms of the peace and its future.

  TRANSFORM YOUR LIFE WITH THE TAO TE CHING, SIMPLIFIED! 
  Learn to work with the principles of the universe instead of against them. 
  Imagine having an “instruction manual for life”; one that could simultaneously enhance both the everyday practical aspects of your existence as well as the spiritual. What would your life look like then? How would it feel? 
  Dr. Matthew Barnes, chemist, biochemist, doctor, and bestselling author of The Emerald Tablet 101, The Hermetica 101, The Kybalion 101, The Bhagavad Gita 101, and Jesus Christ, Zen Master, presents his interpretation of the Tao Te Ching. And he does so in a way that is “lovely” and “easier to understand”. (Quotes are from reader's reviews). 
  What makes this translation different is that it is a modern, simplified interpretation. One that updates the ancient language to a more modern understanding, yet without touching the spirit of Lao Tzu’s timeless work, or altering his guidance towards working with the principles of the universe instead of against them. 
  “If you correct your mind, the rest of your life will fall into place.” (Lao Tzu)

  Cool - How Air Conditioning...

  "[A] history of air conditioning, chronicling the numerous gimmicks, failed attempts, con jobs, and eventual successes . . . a surprisingly interesting journey." —San Francisco Book Review 
   
   
    
  The air conditioner is often hailed as one of the modern world's greatest inventions—yet nearly as often blamed for global disaster. It has changed everything from architecture to people's food habits; saved countless lives, and caused countless deaths. First appearing in 1902, when Willis Carrier, an engineer barely out of college, developed the "Apparatus for Treating Air," everyone assumed it would instantly change the world. But the story of air conditioning and its rise to ubiquity is far from simple. 
   
   
    
  In Cool, Salvatore Basile tracks two fascinating stories: the struggle to perfect an effective cooling device, and the effort to convince people that they actually needed such a thing. With a cast of characters ranging from Leonardo da Vinci to Richard Nixon and Felix the Cat, Cool showcases the myriad reactions to air conditioning as it was developed and introduced to the world. Here is a unique perspective on a common convenience: how we came to rely on it today, and how it might change radically tomorrow.
