Sinopsis

In "The Winning of the American West," Theodore Roosevelt offers a sweeping narrative that chronicles the exploration and settlement of the American frontier, encompassing all four volumes. Roosevelt'Äôs prose is imbued with a vigorous and dynamic style that vividly evokes the landscapes and challenges faced by early pioneers, combining historical fact with personal anecdotes. The work not only serves as a historical account but also positions itself within the larger context of American nationalism, capturing the spirit of the late 19th century as America grappled with its identity during a period of expansion and transformation. Theodore Roosevelt, the 26th President of the United States, was profoundly influenced by his experiences in the West, which shaped his beliefs about American exceptionalism and rugged individualism. His firsthand encounters with frontier life, coupled with a scholarly background in history, catalyzed his commitment to documenting the heroic narratives of those who settled the vast landscapes of the West, reflecting his admiration for their courage and resilience. This monumental work is a must-read for anyone interested in American history, offering unparalleled insights into the formative years of the United States. Roosevelt's engaging storytelling and authoritative perspective make these volumes not only educational but also an exhilarating journey through the trials and triumphs of the American spirit.

    It was a crime that shocked the country. On March 21, 2011, two young saleswomen were found inside a lululemon athletica store in Bethesda, Maryland, one of the nation's wealthiest suburbs. Jayna Murray, thirty, was dead—stabbed, slashed, and struck more than 300 times. Brittany Norwood, twenty-eight, was alive—tied up on a bathroom floor, her clothing ripped, her face bloodied. This is the full, true story of what happened. 
     
     
     
    "In the field of true crime you never know what you'll get—a badly written clip job or thoughtful reportage that goes beyond the crime scene to the impact of crime on people and society. This book lines up on the latter side. It was one of the best written and researched true crime books I've read in quite a while." —MICHAEL CONNELLY, bestselling author and executive producer of the Bosch drama series

    The Coming Storm - Power...

    From a renowned Yale historian comes a chilling look at the looming threat of the next Great Power war and the urgent interventions necessary to avoid it in the twenty-first century. The vast majority of people alive today have come of age in a world of remarkable stability, presided over by either one or two Superpowers. This is not to say the world has been peaceful; but it has, to a great extent, been predictable. As an increasing number of Great Powers jostle for regional supremacy, as well as competitive advantage in nuclear technology, artificial intelligence, space exploration, and trade, our world has become more fragile, unpredictable—and combustible. The outbreak of global war among today’s Great Powers seems increasingly likely. Such war, as Odd Arne Westad powerfully argues in this urgent book, would be of a magnitude and devastation never before seen. To understand the threats that face us in this complex new terrain, we must look to the lessons of the past, and especially the late nineteenth and early twentieth century—a time when Great Powers clashed and sought regional dominance, nationalism and populism were on the rise, and many felt that globalization had failed them; a time when tariffs increased, immigration and terrorism were among the biggest issues of the day, and a growing number of people blamed the citizens of other countries for their problems. A time, in other words, that carries eerie parallels with our own.
