Synthetic Fuel Technology Development in the United States:

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Crow, Michael / Bozeman, Barry / Meyer, Walter, PUBLISHER: Praeger Publishers, Direct coal liquefaction, a synthetic liquid fuel process, is one of the major developmental alternatives for meeting the anticipated fuel demands for the twenty-first century. This work provides a retrospective assessment of past attempts in this century to develop synthetic liquid fuel and applies the findings to produce reliable and pertinent data for the future. Retrospective technology assessment, a recent methodological invention, is used by the authors to analyze the past synthetic liquid fuel programs and the reasons for their failures. Bringing to bear four different perspectives--economic, technological, policy, and historical--the authors draw broad conclusions that will help guide the next development effort in the United States.

The Americas in the Modern Age

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Langley, Lester D., PUBLISHER: Yale University Press, In this wide-ranging book, historian Lester D. Langley offers a fresh interpretation of the history of the modern Western hemisphere since the mid-nineteenth century. He evaluates the dynamics of hemispheric history, commencing with the articulation of the "two Americas" (Theodore Roosevelt's America and the contrasting America described by Cuban revolutionary, essayist, and poet Jose Marti) and culminating with recent controversial efforts to forge a united hemisphere. Tracing the interactions and influences among the nations of South, Central, and North America, including Canada, Langley departs from other accounts of the past 150 years. He argues that the seedtime for today's Americas was not the Cold War but the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. He also contends that it is not what the countries and people of the Americas have in common that binds them; instead, their cultural, political, and economic conflicts tie them together. Comprehensive and balanced, this history of the nations of the Americas offers new insights into both the past and the future of inter-American relations.

The Historic Seacoast of Texas

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Salvant, J. U. / Salvant, U., J., PUBLISHER: University of Texas Press, The Gulf Coast of Texas has drawn people ever since nomadic Indian tribes sought sustenance in the coastal lagoons and marshes. Spanish and French explorers shipwrecked on these shores, while settlers in the nineteenth century turned Galveston and Indianola into thriving ports. Today, the coast is a major hub for industry and maritime shipping, as well as for commercial and pleasure fishing. Perhaps most important, the Gulf Coast remains a place where visitors and residents alike find refreshment and renewal. J. U. Salvant's lovely watercolor paintings in this book capture the history, beauty, and natural resources of the Texas coast. Some recreate landmarks that have been washed away by the tides of time, while others depict historical sites that welcome visitors. Still other paintings portray aspects of coastal life that are timeless. David G. McComb offers a concise, fascinating history of the Texas coastline to accompany the paintings. He shows how the resources of land and sea have always attracted people to the coast and describes the effects of major hurricanes. He also provides vignettes of individuals whose lives are woven into the Gulf Coast story. Taken together, these words and images blend past and present into a seamless depiction of the charms of the Gulf Coast.

Handbook of Landscape Archaeology

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: David, Bruno / Thomas, Julian, PUBLISHER: Left Coast Press, Over the past three decades, "landscape" has become an umbrella term to describe many different strands of archaeology. From the processualist study of settlement patterns to the phenomenologist's experience of the natural world, from human impact on past environments to the environment's impact on human thought, action, and interaction, the term has been used. In this volume, for the first time, over 80 archaeologists from three continents attempt a comprehensive definition of the ideas and practices of landscape archaeology, covering the theoretical and the practical, the research and conservation, and encasing the term in a global framework. As a basic reference volume for landscape archaeology, this volume will be the benchmark for decades to come. All royalties on this Handbook are donated to the World Archaeological Congress.

Professor Alexander has assembled a distinguished international team of contributors to present this first major appraisal of such a vital aspect of democratic practice for nearly twenty years.

The Greek & Latin Doctors

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Wand, J. W., PUBLISHER: Wyndham Hall Press, Today, when not only the Anglican Communion specifically but the Church Catholic generally seem in such desperate need of historical moorings for meaningful and productive theological discussions, it seems nothing less than fitting that this classic treatise on the Doctors of the church be brought back into general circulation in order that all those who truly wish to be accurately informed about the origins of the Church's great thoughts might have that opportunity. Today's tragedy in too many theological discussions is two-fold -- the consistent absence of a deep appreciation and understanding of the historical roots of our faith, and the general presumption that the present experience of the Church should automatically be valued more highly than the past experience of the Church. If this little classic does nothing more than contribute to the re-education of the Church Today about the origin and value of the Church Yesterday, then the effort will have been well worthwhile.
