From the "Hundred Best Books" to the "Ten Greatest Thinkers" tothe "Ten Greatest Poets," here is a concise collection of theworld's most significant knowledge. For the better part of acentury, Will Durant dwelled upon -- and wrote about -- the mostsignificant eras, individuals, and achievements of human history.His selections have finally been brought together in a single,compact volume. Durant eloquently defends his choices of thegreatest minds and ideas, but he also stimulates readers intoforming their own opinions, encouraging them to shed theirsurroundings and biases and enter "The Country of the Mind," atimeless realm where the heroes of our species dwell. From a thinker who always chose to exalt the positive in thehuman species, The Greatest Minds and Ideas of All Time stays true to Durant's optimism. This is a book c

The unsentimental education of an idealistic, brilliantAmerican naval officer. It begins in 2001. Christopher Brownfield is a na?ve youngmidshipman. His heroes at the time: Oliver North and JohnMcCain. In My Nuclear Family, Brownfield writes about how he loved thenavy for its “rigidity and its clarity in separating right fromwrong”; how he cut his teeth there on the principles of energy andviolence, strategy and thermodynamics, on war doctrine and weaponssystems. The question was never if he was capable of killing; itwas simply about methods and rationales. He writes about his years serving on a nuclear submarine, withits hundred-ton back-up battery—the first hybrid vehicle capable ofsustaining its environment and mission independent of oil. We see Lieutenant Brownfield making his way, receiving hisadvanced nuclear supervisory certification from the departments ofdefense and energy, and, after years of training to become anuclear submariner, being able to supervise an enti
Much has been written about the west—most of it clouded byexaggeration and fabrication.

True Tales and Amazing Legends of the Old West commemorates theseunforgettable cowboys, Indians, and city slickers through a mix ofclassic histories and brand-new narratives, all illustrated withphotographs—many reproduced here for the first time—of the peopleand places that gave rise to America’s Western mythology. With twenty-six stories that blend fact with folklore, thiscollection abounds with accounts of the famous and the infamous,including Sacagawea, Wild Bill Hickok, Pancho Villa, Butch Cassidyand the Sundance Kid, Davy Crockett, and Wyatt Earp.

Olson also provides startling new perspectives on theinvention of agriculture, the peopling of the Americas, the originsof language, the history of the Jews, and more.

In Storming Caesars Palace, historian Annelise Orleck tellsthe compelling story of how a group of welfare mothers built one ofthis country's most successful antipoverty programs. Declaring "Wecan do it and do it better," these women proved that poor mothersare the real experts on poverty. In 1972 they founded OperationLife, which was responsible for many firsts for the poor in LasVegas-the first library, medical center, daycare center, jobtraining, and senior citizen housing. By the late 1970s, OperationLife was bringing millions of dollars into the community. Thesewomen became influential in Washington, DC-respected and listenedto by political heavyweights such as Daniel Patrick Moynihan, TedKennedy, and Jimmy Carter. Though they lost their funding with thecountry's move toward conservatism in the 1980s, their strugglesand phenomenal triumphs still stand as a critical lesson about whatcan be achieved when those on welfare chart their own course.
Casting Robert Louis Stevenson as his protagonist, Alberto Manguel, author of the international best seller A History of Reading, spins an intoxicating murder mystery in the South Pacific that echoes Joseph Conrad A. S. Byatt,and the psychological underpinnings of Stevensons own work. Robert Louis Stevenson has become accustomed to the intense colors and severe humidity of Samoa, as well as the uninhibited sensuality of its people. Yet his thoughts turn nostalgically back to his native Edinburgh after a chance encounter with the newly arrived Scots missionary, Mr. Baker, whose religious invectives challenge Stevenson loosening moral code. And when a young Samoan woman is raped and brutally murdered—someone for whom Stevenson privately pined—the once idyllic island erupts into a barely controlled insurgency.With a creeping sense of both dread and suspense as well as a playful nod to Stevenson own persona and imagination, Alberto Manguel has weaved together a compelling tale in the sultry South Pacific

From Ernest Hemingwaycovering bullfights in Pamplona to Martin Luther King, Jr.'s"Letter from Birmingham Jail," these essays fit, in the words ofJoyce Carol Oates, "into a kind of mobile mosaic suggest ing] wherewe've come from, and who we are, and where we are going." Amongthose whose work is included are Mark Twain, John Muir, T. S.Eliot, Richard Wright, Vladimir Nabokov, James Baldwin, Tom Wolfe,Susan Sontag, Maya Angelou, Alice Walker, Joan Didion, CynthiaOzick, Saul Bellow, Stephen Jay Gould, Edward Hoagland, and AnnieDillard.
The fascinating story of a long-forgotten "war on terror" thathas much in common with our own On a February evening in 1894, ayoung radical intellectual named mile Henry drank two beers at anupscale Parisian restaurant, then left behind a bomb as a partinggift. This incident, which rocked the French capital, lies at theheart of The Dynamite Club, a mesmerizing account of Henry and hiscohorts and the war they waged against the bourgeoisiesetting offbombs in public places, killing the president of France, andeventually assassinating President McKinley in 1901. Paris in thebelle poque was a place of leisure, elegance, and power. Newlyelectrified, the citys wide boulevards were lined with poshdepartment stores and outdoor cafs. But prosperity was limited to afew. Most lived in dire poverty, and workers and intellectualsfound common cause in a political philosophyanarchismthat embracedthe overthrow of the state by any means necessary. Yet in targetingcivilians to achieve their ends, the dynamite bombers cha
The creation of the Pentagon in seventeen whirlwind monthsduring World War II is one of the great construction feats inAmerican history, involving a tremendous mobilization of manpower,resources, and minds.

Somervell conceived and built an institution thatranks with the White House, the Vatican, and a handful of otherstructures as symbols recognized around the world. Now veteranmilitary reporter Steve Vogel reveals for the first time theremarkable story of the Pentagon’s construction, from it’s dramaticbirth to its rebuilding after the September 11 attack.
In Operation Iraqi Freedom, the Marine Corps’ ground campaignup the Tigris and Euphrates was notable for speed andaggressiveness unparalleled in military history. Little has beenwritten, however, of the air support that guaranteed the drive’ssuccess. Paving the way for the rush to Baghdad was “the hammerfrom above”–in the form of attack helicopters, jet fighters,transport, and other support aircraft. Now a former Marine fighterpilot shares the gripping never-before-told stories of the Marineswho helped bring to an end the regime of Saddam Hussein. As Jay Stout reveals, the air war had actually been in theplanning stages ever since the victory of Operation Desert Storm,twelve years earlier. But when Operation Iraqi Freedom officiallycommenced on March 20, 2003, the Marine Corps entered the fightwith an aviation arm at its smallest since before World War II.Still, with the motto “Speed Equals Success,” the separate air andground units acted as a team to get the job done.

When the United States entered the Gilded Age after the CivilWar, argues cultural historian Christopher Benfey, the nation lostits philosophical moorings and looked eastward to “Old Japan,” withits seemingly untouched indigenous culture, for balance andperspective. Japan, meanwhile, was trying to reinvent itself as amore cosmopolitan, modern state, ultimately transforming itself, inthe course of twenty-five years, from a feudal backwater to aninternational power. This great wave of historical and culturalreciprocity between the two young nations, which intensified duringthe late 1800s, brought with it some larger-than-lifepersonalities, as the lure of unknown foreign cultures promptedpilgrimages back and forth across the Pacific. In The Great Wave, Benfey tells the story of the tightly knitgroup of nineteenth-century travelers—connoisseurs, collectors, andscientists—who dedicated themselves to exploring and preserving OldJapan. As Benfey writes, “A sense of urgency impelled them, forthe

A poignant, powerful distillation of the Holocaust experience from the internationally acclaimed writer and Nobel laureate. In his first book, Night, Elie Wiesel described his concentration camp experience, but he has rarely written directly about the Holocaust since then. Now, as the last generation of survivors is passing and a new generation must be introduced to mankind s darkest hour, Wiesel sums up the most important aspects of Hitler s years in power and provides a fitting memorial to those who suffered and perished. He writes about the creation of the Third Reich, Western acquiescence, the gas chambers, and memory. He criticizes Churchill and Roosevelt for what they knew and ignored, and he praises little-known Jewish heroes. Augmenting Wiesel s text are testimonies from survivors, who recall, among other moments and events: the establishment of the Nurembourg Laws, Kristallnacht, transport to the camps, and liberation.
