Описание: Worthy Opponents tells the parallel stories of Confederate general Joseph E. Johnston and Union general William Tecumseh Sherman. Their armies clashed repeatedly, so it was only natural for these two commanding offers to become adversaries. Yet, as the war continued, Johnston and Sherman came to respect each other, eventually becoming close friends. Edward G. Longacre masterfully investigates the entwined lives of these two celebrated generals, bringing to life their personalities, their military styles, and their friendship in this fascinating dual biography.

Описание: Edward Semler documents United States Coast Guard Cutter Sherman's (WHEC-720) deployment in 2001 to the Persian Gulf in support of United Nations sanctions against the country of Iraq and subsequent historic circumnavigation of the globe. It covers in detail Sherman's pre-deployment workups, transit to the Persian Gulf, Persian Gulf operations, and return transit. Through the use of Sherman's actual ships logs, Navy command history reports, other documents, photographs, and personal accounts, the author compiles a comprehensive narrative of Sherman's deployment covering major events such as law enforcement operations in the Persian Gulf, the sinking of the M/V Zainab, and the rescue of the M/V Modern Drive. This event is historic within the Coast Guard community because Sherman is only the third Coast Guard cutter to circumnavigate the globe in modern times and the first since 1969. And out of the three vessels to accomplish this amazing journey she is the only one that was not an icebreaker.Note: The Kindle eBook edition has color photographs and the print paperback has black & white photographs.
Antarctica, that icy wasteland and extreme environment at the ends of the earth, was - at the beginning of the 20th century - the last frontier of Victorian imperialism, a territory subjected to heroic and sometimes desperate exploration. Now, at the start of the 21st century, Antarctica is the vulnerable landscape behind iconic images of climate change. In this genre-crossing narrative Gould takes us on a journey to the South Pole, through art and archive.
Through the life and tragic death of Edward Wilson, polar explorer, doctor, scientist and artist, and his watercolours, and through the work of a pioneer of modern anthropology and opponent of scientific racism, Franz Boas, Gould exposes the legacies of colonialism and racial and gendered identities of the time. Antarctica, the White Continent, far from being a blank - and white - canvas, is revealed to be full of colour. Gould argues that the medium matters and that the practices of observation in art, anthropology and science determine how we see and what we know. Stories of exploration and open-air watercolour painting, of weather experiments and ethnographic collecting, of evolution and extinction, are interwoven to raise important questions for our times. Revisiting Antarctica through the archive becomes the urgent endeavour to imagine an inhabitable planetary future.
