Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Travels and Adventures of Celebrated Travelers in the Principal Countries of the World The whole world are now near neighbors. Only a short time amee, he who had circumnavigated the globe was looked upon with wonder, as among the favored of mortals. Now, he whose dwelling is the nearest to your own, may, within a few months, have visited the uttermost parts Of the earth, and the fact not considered sufficiently novel for your knowledge. With rapidly increasing intercourse all the world is changing. Commerce, the great civilizer, is introducing us to everybody and everybody to us. Such a general shaking of hands never was before seen since Father Time commenced his travels. Such a universal interchange of ideas never entered the conception of the wisest Of the ancients. Such a magnificent clearing was never before Opened to the Pioneer in Enterprise. Everybody is learning something from everybody. Civilized nations are consequently growing more liberal and more humane, and those not civilized are fast becoming so.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Praise for THE TRAVELS OF A T-SHIRT IN THE GLOBAL ECONOMY "Engrossing . . . (Rivoli) goes wherever the T-shirt goes, and there are surprises around every corner . . . full of memorable characters and vivid scenes." —Time "An engaging and illuminating saga. . . . Rivoli follows her T-shirt along its route, but that is like saying that Melville follows his whale. . . . Her nuanced and fair-minded approach is all the more powerful for eschewing the pretense of ideological absolutism, and her telescopic look through a single industry has all the makings of an economics classic." —The New York Times "Rarely is a business book so well written that one would gladly stay up all night to finish it. Pietra Rivoli's The Travels of a T-Shirt in the Global Economy is just such a page-turner." —CIO magazine "Succeeds admirably . . . T-shirts may not have changed the world, but their story is a useful account of how free trade and protectionism certainly have." —Financial Times "[A] fascinating exploration of the history, economics, and politics of world trade . . . The Travels of a T-Shirt in the Global Economy is a thought-provoking yarn that exhibits the ugly, the bad, and the good of globalization, and points to the unintended positive consequences of the clash between proponents and opponents of free trade." —Star-Telegram (Fort Worth) "Part travelogue, part history, and part economics, The Travels of a T-Shirt in the Global Economy is ALL storytelling, and in the grand style. A must-read." —Peter J. Dougherty, Senior Economics Editor, Princeton University Press author of Who's Afraid of Adam Smith? "A readable and evenhanded treatment of the complexities of free trade . . . As Rivoli repeatedly makes clear, there is absolutely nothing free about free trade except the slogan." —San Francisco Chronicle
Download or read book The Lives of Celebrated Travellers Vol 1 Classic Reprint written by James Augustus St. John and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-06 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Lives of Celebrated Travellers, Vol. 1 Dr. Southey, speaking of the works of travellers, very justly remarks, that "of such books we cannot have too many!" and adds with equal truth, that "because they contribute to the instruction of the learned, their reputation suffers no diminution by the course of time, but that age rather enhances their value." Every man, indeed, whose comprehensive mind enables him to sympathize with human nature under all its various aspects, and to detect - through the endless disguises superinduced by strange religions, policies, manners, or climate - passions, weaknesses, and virtues akin to his own, must peruse the relations of veracious travellers with peculiar satisfaction and delight. But there is another point of view in which the labours of this class of writers may be contemplated with advantage. Having made use of them as a species of telescope, for bringing remote scenes near our intellectual eye, it may, perhaps, be of considerable utility to observe the effect of so many dissimilar and unusual objects, as necessarily present themselves to travellers, upon the mind, character, and happiness of the individuals who beheld them. This, in fact, is the business of the biographer; and it is what I have endeavoured to perform, to the best of my abilities, in the following "Lives."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Some Heroes of Travel: Or Chapters From the History of Geographical Discovery Enterprise The present age is sometimes described as an Age of Commonplace; but it has its romance if we care to look for it. Assuredly, the adventures of its travellers and explorers do not lose in importance or interest, even when compared with those of their predecessors in days when a great part of the world was still "virgin ground." In the following pages, this thesis is illustrated by a summary of the narratives of certain "Heroes of Travel" belonging to our own time; and I believe it will be found that for "stirring scenes" and "hair-breadth escapes" they vie with any which the industrious Hakluyt, the quaint Purchas, or, coming down to a later date, the multifarious Pinkerton has collected.
