Unrivaled diversity and teachability have made The Heath Anthology a best-selling text since the publication of its first edition in 1989. In presenting a more inclusive canon of American literature, The Heath Anthology continues to balance the traditional, leading names in American literature with lesser-known writers and to build upon the anthology's other strengths: its apparatus and its ancillaries. Available in five volumes for greater flexibility, the Fifth Edition offers new thematic clusters to stimulate classroom discussions and to show the treatment of important topics across the genres. The indispensable web site includes revised timelines, a multimedia gallery to support thematic clusters, and a searchable Instructor's Guide. The cluster, "Modernism, Lyric Poetry, Facts," includes poems that challenge the traditional sense of "modernism" as happening with only a few writers in a certain style. Selections by authors such as Theodore Dreiser, Willa Cather, and Gary Snyder allow s
JRobert Oppenheimer, the man who led the Manhattan Project that built the atomic bomb and ended World War II, forged the alliance between science and government that made the American Century possible. David C. Cassidy's much anticipated, richly detailed, magisterial biography is not merely the life story of a brilliant physicist, it tells the hidden story of the political and social forces shaping the world in our time: the rise of American science. In 1941, before Germany failed to build an atomic weapon, and the United States succeeded, Life published Henry R. Luce's essay "The American Century." It proclaimed that America was not at war simply to defeat the Axis powers. The United States must "exert upon the world the full impact of our influence, for such purpose as we see fit and by such means as we see fit:' Cassidy reveals such confidence, and the success of the Manhattan Project itself, were essentially by-products of the rise of American science driven by burgeoning industrial prosperity and a
John Malcolm first went to Japan to play football. He returned to ride the crest of the wave of financial raiding, trading and speculating that earned Nick Leeson a spell in gaol and Malcolm his reputation as an ultimate gunslinger in the Wild East, prepared to take on any level of risk in making mind-boggling sums of money. $7 million in his first month, just for starters. He and his friends were hedge-fund cowboys,living life on the adrenalin-, sex- and drugs-fuelled edge - kids running billion-dollar portfolios, trading information in the back rooms of high-class 'soap houses' (brothels) and at VIP tables in nightclubs across the Far East. A tale of extremes and excess - from Harvard to Tokyo, Singapore,Hong Kong and Hawaii - a riveting real-life thriller that exposes thestory of the Ugly Americans in the Wild East during the last decade of the twentieth century.
