200875836New York NY: Farrar Straus and Giroux 2008. First edition stated. First printing stated. Hardcover. Very good/Very good. 10 438 pages. Illustrations. Index. Inscribed by author on fep. Thomas Loren Friedman born July 20 1953 is an American journalist columnist and author. He has written extensively on foreign affairs including trade the Middle East globalization and environmental issues. He has won the Pulitzer Prize three times. He was hired by The New York Times as a reporter in 1981 and dispatched to Beirut at the start of the 1982 Israeli invasion of Lebanon. His coverage of the war won him the Pulitzer Prize for International Reporting. Friedman served as the New York Times Jerusalem Bureau Chief from June 1984 until February 1988. That year he received a second Pulitzer Prize for International Reporting. He wrote From Beirut to Jerusalem describing his experiences in the Middle East which won the 1989 U.S. National Book Award for Nonfiction. In 1994 he moved to the op-ed page of The New York Times. The author brings a fresh outlook to the crises of destabilizing climate change and rising competition for energy. A wag once quipped that Thomas Friedman's bountiful bestseller The World Is Flat calmed the storms about globalization. In his latest effort the influential New York Times Op-Ed columnist presses his case that Green is the new Red White and Blue. Friedman argues that environmentalism isn't just a survival imperative; it's the best way to make America richer more productive and not least more secure. Spanning the globe he presents case study after case study that shows that Green-oriented practices and technologies are the key to revitalizing our country and stabilizing an increasingly energy-starved world. Derived from a Kirkus review: The world is flat New York Times columnist Friedman told us in his bestselling 2005 book of that name. Now things are getting worse and the clock is ticking. Americans have squandered most of the goodwill extended since 9/11 writes Friedman and in the years of the Bush administration no thought has been given to what 9/12 is supposed to look like. The climate is changing but the administration has spent most of its tenure denying it and insisting on a particularist view that we deserve to be profligate because we're Americans. Our political blindness and ignorance vis-à-vis other nations now butts up against the world's instability and Friedman continues "the convergence of hot flat and crowded is tightening energy supplies intensifying the extinction of plants and animals deepening energy poverty strengthening petrodictatorship and accelerating climate change." The way out of those tangles he says is for America to go green in any way possible—and to do it right away investing in every kind of alternative and renewable energy form imaginable setting the best of examples for the rest of the world and exporting green technologies everywhere thus winning back allies and influencing people. Readers who have been paying attention to Fareed Zakaria Jared Diamond or similar writers know most of this but still the word has been slow getting out. Many others have written about these subjects but few enjoy Friedman's audience so it's good that he's turning to such matters if a touch belatedly. His case studies—from New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg's insistence on a fleet of hybrid taxis on the street to British firm Marks & Spencer's insistence that going green is Plan A and that "there is no Plan B" —are well-selected detailed and in the end quite inspiring. That inspiration is needed along with a lot of hard work. A timely rewarding book. Farrar, Straus and Giroux hardcover

Thomas Loren Friedman born July 20 1953 is an American political commentator and author. He is a three-time Pulitzer Prize winner who is a weekly columnist for The New York Times. He has written extensively on foreign affairs global trade the Middle East globalization and environmental issues. In this work Friedman begins by sharing a conversation with a fellow blogger who also happened to be working as a parking attendant. The unlikely pair ended up spending time together as Friedman helped the blogger refine his process. This led to his own deeper reflection on defining his conceptual framework that underpinned his writing. He took a year's sabbatical to research and produce this book encapsulating what he discovered. Reviews<br /> John Micklethwait CBE editor-in-chief of Bloomberg News who reviewed Thank you for Being Late for The New York Times wrote that this is Friedman's "most ambitious book — part personal odyssey part common-sense manifesto". Friedman is a "self-confessed 'explanatory journalist' — whose goal is to be a 'translator from English to English' and this book is "a master class in explaining." This book is a work of contemporary history that serves as a field manual for how to write and think about this era of accelerations. It is also an argument for "being late"--for pausing to appreciate this amazing historical epoch we are passing though and to reflect on its possibilities and dangers. To amplify this point Friedman revisits his Minnesota hometown in his moving concluding chapters; there he explores how communities can create a "topsoil of trust" to anchor their increasingly diverse and digital populations. With his trademark vitality wit and optimism Friedman shows that we can overcome the multiple stresses of an age of accelerations--if we slow down if we dare to be late and use the time to reimagine work politics and community. This is Friedman's most ambitious book--and an essential guide to the present and the future. Derived from a Kirkus review: The celebrated New York Times columnist diagnoses this unprecedented historical moment and suggests strategies for "resilience and propulsion" that will help us adapt. "Are things just getting too damned fast" Friedman cites 2007 as the year we reached a technological inflection point. Combined with increasingly fast-paced globalization and the subsequent speedy shocks to our planet's natural system we've entered an "age of accelerations" that promises to transform "almost every aspect of modern life." The Pulitzer winner puts his familiar methodology—extensive travel thorough reporting interviews with the high-placed movers and shakers conversations with the lowly moved and shaken—to especially good use here beginning with a wonderfully Friedman-esque encounter with a parking attendant during which he explains the philosophy and technique underlying his columns and books. The author closes with a return to his Minnesota hometown to reconnect with and explore some effective habits of democratic citizenship. In between he discusses topics as varied as how garbage cans got smart how the exponential growth in computational power has resulted in a "supernova" of creative energy how the computer Watson won Jeopardy and how without owning a single property Airbnb rents out more rooms than all the major hotel chains combined. To meet these and other dizzying accelerations Friedman advises developing a "dynamic stability" and he prescribes nothing less than a redesign of our workplaces politics geopolitics ethics and communities. Drawing lessons from Mother Nature about adaptability sustainability and interdependence he never underestimates the challenges ahead. However he's optimistic about our chances as he seeks out these strategies in action ranging from how AT&T trains its workers to how Tunisia survived the Arab Spring to how chickens can alleviate African poverty. Required reading for a generation that's "going to be asked to dance in a hurricane.". Farrar, Straus and Giroux hardcover

Cover is worn and soiled. Boards weak. The present edition is corrected to conform to Colonel Fox's careful list of organizations whose numbers are to be added to or subtracted from the number given in the returns of the armies in that battle. Basing his calculation upon the reports of the commanders of a. Large number of regiments Colonel Fox estimates the number of the Union army actually carried into action at Gettysburg at 852 in 1000 of the present for duty as compared with effectives computed in this book and the number of the Confederate army at as compared with which is here adopted. In comparing these numbers it is to be borne in mind that the bases of the computations differ. Colonel Fox includes all the organizations on the field and deducts all men who did not remain in the ranks. Livermore was raised in Milford New Hampshire. At the outbreak he enlisted as Private on 24 June 1861 in Company F 1st New Hampshire Infantry. He mustered out 9 August back in Concord then signed up in Company K of the 5th New Hampshire Infantry.
