Download or read book Revolutionary Roads written by Bob Thompson and published by Twelve. This book was released on 2023-02-07 with total page 485 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the ride-along tradition of Sarah Vowell, Tony Horwitz and Bill Bryson, this insightful history revisits the pivotal figures and key turning points of the American Revolutionary War. Revolutionary Roads takes readers on a time-traveling adventure through the crucial places American independence was won and might have been lost. You’ll ride shotgun with Bob Thompson as he puts more than 20,000 miles on his car, not to mention his legs; walks history-shaping battlefields from Georgia to Quebec; and hangs out with passionate lovers of revolutionary history whose vivid storytelling and deep knowledge of their subject enrich his own. Braiding these elements together into a wonderfully entertaining whole – and with a reporter’s abiding concern for getting the story straight – he has written an American Revolution book like no other. The Revolutionary War is one of the greatest stories in all history, an eight-year epic filled with self-sacrificing heroes, self-interested villains, and, more interestingly, all the shades of complex humanity in between. It boasts large-scale gambles that sometimes paid off but usually didn’t, as well as countless tiny, fraught tipping points like a misunderstood order in a South Carolina cow pasture that could have altered the course of the war. The drama is magnified when you consider what was at stake: the fate of a social and political experiment that would transform the world. Yet we don’t know this story as well as we should, or how easily the ending could have changed.

Download or read book Routes of Compromise written by Michael K. Bess and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2017-12-01 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Routes of Compromise Michael K. Bess studies the social, economic, and political implications of road building and state formation in Mexico through a comparative analysis of Nuevo León and Veracruz from the 1920s to the 1950s. He examines how both foreign and domestic actors, working at local, national, and transnational levels, helped determine how Mexico would build and finance its roadways. While Veracruz offered a radical model for regional construction that empowered agrarian communities, national consensus would solidify around policies championed by Nuevo León’s political and commercial elites. Bess shows that no single political figure or central agency dominated the process of determining Mexico's road-building policies. Instead, provincial road-building efforts highlight the contingent nature of power and state formation in midcentury Mexico.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Revolutionary War Road Trip on US Route 20 parallels colonial routes taken during the war by George Washington, Henry Knox, Paul Revere and the soldiers of Shays Rebellion. The road trip begins in Pittsfield (MA) where in the late fall of 1775, Henry Knox passed through the area on his way to Fort Ticonderoga to begin a mission to transport cannon from the fort for the siege of British-held Boston. From Pittsfield, the road trip goes through Lenox, Stockbridge and Great Barrington, which is a site along the Knox Trail and is near the last battle of Shays Rebellion. From Great Barrington, the road trip crosses over the scenic Berkshire Mountains then through Westfield, West Springfield and Springfield, where a colonial armory made Springfield a Revolutionary War crossroad. From Springfield, the road trip continues east through Palmer, Sturbridge, Northborough, Marlborough, Sudbury (the Wayside Inn), Wayland, and Concord, where on April 19, 1775, Americans first attacked British forces and marked the beginning of the Revolutionary War. From Concord, the road trip continues along the Battle Road from Concord through Lexington, Arlington, Bunker Hill and Boston where road trip concludes with a walk along the Freedom Trail through Charleston, the North End and downtown Boston passing by many of Bostons historic colonial sites including Old North Church, Faneuil Hall, the Old State House and Boston Common.

Download or read book Routes to the Information Revolution written by Alexander Arbel and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2019-03-18 with total page 425 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a precise and comprehensive history of the digital computer. It is the first collection of available information about the digital computer, beginning with the philosophical and logical advancements in the early 20th century that led to it. The book explores the histories and stories of the computer, tracing its roots and routes. It examines and analyzes commonly accepted views on the digital computer and its development, and offers clearer and more accurate alternatives to them. Its approach, though dealing with the introduction and development of the digital computer, is applicable to the history of technology in general. The central question considered here is, why were the automatic digital program-controlled calculating devices developed simultaneously in Germany, the USA and the UK during the period 1935-1945? Astonishingly, the technologies, ideas, calculating means and calculating techniques existed and were available long before the development of the automatic digital program-controlled calculating device. However, only during the period 1935-1945 did they materialize. Ideas that may be viewed as attempts to develop this type of device began early in the modern era. Babbage (1834) and Ludgate (1909) took the first steps and constructed devices that may be viewed as something like computers. Nevertheless, the concrete fulfillment and practical use of these ideas was accomplished only in the period of 1935-1945, by a group of developers who acted in ignorance of what was done before. This book opens with a detailed discussion of these processes.
