Mann is well aware that much of the history he relates isnecessarily speculative, the product of pot-shard interpretationand precise scientific measurements that often end up beingradically revised in later decades. But the most compelling of hiseye-opening revisionist stories are among the best-founded: thestories of early American-European contact. To many of those whowere there, the earliest encounters felt more like a meeting ofequals than one of natural domination. And those who came later andfound an emptied landscape that seemed ripe for the taking, Mannargues convincingly, encountered not the natural and unchangingstate of the native American, but the evidence of a suddencalamity: the ravages of what was likely the greatest epidemic inhuman history, the smallpox and other diseases introducedinadvertently by Europeans to a population without immunity, whichswept through the Americas faster than the explorers who broughtit, and left behind for their discovery a land that held only ashadow of the

In this deeply researched and clearly written book, thePulitzer Prize–winning historian Alan Taylor tells the rivetingstory of a war that redefined North America. During the earlynineteenth century, Britons and Americans renewed their struggleover the legacy of the American Revolution. Soldiers, immigrants,settlers, and Indians fought in a northern borderland to determinethe fate of a continent. Would revolutionary republicanism sweepthe British from Canada? Or would the British empire contain,divide, and ruin the shaky American republic? In a world of double identities, slippery allegiances, and porousboundaries, the leaders of the republic and of the empire struggledto control their own diverse peoples. The border dividedAmericans—former Loyalists and Patriots—who fought on both sides inthe new war, as did native peoples defending their homelands.Serving in both armies, Irish immigrants battled one another,reaping charges of rebellion and treason. And dissident Americansflirted with seces

Studies of dental and skeletal growth and development haveoften been treated as independent disciplines within theliterature. Human Growth in the Past, first published in 1999,brings together these two related fields of enquiry in a singlevolume whose purpose is to place methodological issues of growthand development in past populations within a strong theoreticalframework. Contributions examine a variety of aspects of humangrowth in the past, drawing from both palaeoanthropological andbioarchaeological data. The book covers a wide spectrum of topics,from patterns of growth in humans and their close relatives,innovative methods and applications of techniques and models forthe study of growth, to estimation of age-at-death in subadults andinfant mortality in archaeological samples. Human Growth in thePast will be of interest to biological anthropologists, and thosein the related fields of dental anatomy, evolutionary biology anddevelopmental biology.

THE CIA IN ITS GLORY DAYS and the mad confidence that led todisaster in Vietnam are the subjects of Roger Warner's prizewinninghistory, Shooting at the Moon: The CIA's War in Laos (firstpublished as Back Fire, Simon Schuster, 1995). For a fewyears in the early 1960s the CIA seemed to be running a perfectcovert war in Laos - quiet, inexpensive, just enough arms to helpMeo tribesmen defend their home territory from the Communist PathetLao. Then the big American war next door in Vietnam spilled acrossthe border. How the perfect covert war ballooned into sorrow anddisaster is the story Roger Warner tell in Shooting at the Moon,awarded the Cornelius Ryan Award for 1995's Best Book on ForeignAffairs by the Overseas Press Club. Warner describes his characters with a novelist's touch -soldiers and diplomats busy with war-making; CIA field officersfrom bareknuckle warriors to the quiet men pulling strings in theshadows; and above all the Meo as they realized they had been leddown the garden path.

Peter Ackroyd at his most magical and magisterial—aglittering, evocative, fascinating, story-filled portrait ofVenice, the ultimate city. The Venetians’ language and way of thinking setthem aside from the rest of Italy. They are an island people,linked to the sea and to the tides rather than the land. Thislat?est work from the incomparable Peter Ackroyd, like a magicgondola, transports its readers to that sensual and surprisingcity. His account embraces facts and romance, conjuring up the atmosphereof the canals, bridges, and sunlit squares, the churches and themarkets, the festivals and the flowers. He leads us through thehistory of the city, from the first refugees arriving in the mistsof the lagoon in the fourth century to the rise of a greatmercantile state and its trading empire, the wars against Napoleon,and the tourist invasions of today. Everything is here: themerchants on the Rialto and the Jews in the ghetto; theglassblowers of Murano; the carnival masks and the sad colonies oflepers; the

In this epic, beautifully written masterwork, PulitzerPrize–winning author Isabel Wilkerson chronicles one of the greatuntold stories of American history: the decades-long migration ofblack citizens who fled the South for northern and western cities,in search of a better life. From 1915 to 1970, this exodus ofalmost six million people changed the face of America. Wilkersoncompares this epic migration to the migrations of other peoples inhistory. She interviewed more than a thousand people, and gainedaccess to new data and official records, to write this definitiveand vividly dramatic account of how these American journeysunfolded, altering our cities, our country, and ourselves. With stunning historical detail, Wilkerson tells this storythrough the lives of three unique individuals: Ida Mae Gladney, whoin 1937 left sharecropping and prejudice in Mississippi forChicago, where she achieved quiet blue-collar success and, in oldage, voted for Barack Obama when he ran for an Illinois Senateseat; sh

A war that started under questionable pretexts. A presidentwho is convinced of his country’s might and right. A military andpolitical stalemate with United States troops occupying a foreignland against a stubborn and deadly insurgency. The time is the 1840s. The enemy is Mexico. And the war is one ofthe least known and most important in both Mexican and UnitedStates history—a war that really began much earlier and whoseconsequences still echo today. Acclaimed historian David A. Clarypresents this epic struggle for a continent for the first time fromboth sides, using original Mexican and North Americansources. To Mexico, the yanqui illegals pouring into her territories ofTexas and California threatened Mexican sovereignty and security.To North Americans, they manifested their destiny to rule thecontinent. Two nations, each raising an eagle as her standard,blustered and blundered into a war because no one on either sidewas brave enough to resist the march into it. In Eagles and Empi

A landmark work of history that challenges our most basicassumptions about the causes and consequences of the First WorldWar In The Pity of War, Niall Ferguson makes a simple andprovocative argument: that the human atrocity known as the GreatWar was entirely England's fault. Britain, according to Ferguson,entered into war based on nave assumptions of German aims-andEngland's entry into the war transformed a Continental conflictinto a world war, which they then badly mishandled, necessitatingAmerican involvement. The war was not inevitable, Ferguson argues,but rather the result of the mistaken decisions of individuals whowould later claim to have been in the grip of huge impersonalforces. That the war was wicked, horrific, inhuman, is memorialized inpart by the poetry of men like Wilfred Owen and Siegfried Sassoon,but also by cold statistics. More British soldiers were killed inthe first day of the Battle of the Somme than Americans in theVietnam War; indeed, the total British fatalities in that singlebattle

Hugh Thomas has written arich and riveting narrative of exploration, progress, and plunder.At its center is the unforgettable ruler who fought the French andexpanded the Spanish empire, and the bold conquistadors who werehis agents.

The Golden Empire also presents the legendary men whom KingCharles V sent on perilous and unprecedented expeditions: HernánCortés, who ruled the “New Spain” of Mexico as an absolutemonarch—and whose rebuilding of its capital, Tenochti
