From dust jacket: How much more can one say about a man who was an engineer botanist surveyor seaman explorer linguist cartographer writer poet artist and engraver -- and a highly controversial military figure in the early days of the Revolution Obviously a lot. YUet it may come as a surprise to learn that this is the first full-length biography of the life of Bernard Romans -- preeminent colonial explorer/cartographer who sacrificed a Crown “pension†to throw in his lot with the patriot cause. He originated the march on Fort Ticonderoga usurped by Colonels Ethan Allen and Benedict Arnold and designed and partially built the first patriot fort along the Hudson at West Point. In between Romans found time to compile and engrave countless maps and write two important books -- now among the rarest volumes of Americana -- A Concise Natural History of East and West Florida and Annals of the Troubles in the Netherlands: From the Accession of Charles V Emperor of Germany.

20052311160New York: Viking 2005. First Edition. Hard Cover. Near Fine/Very Good. First edition. Jacket bumped. 2005 Hard Cover. xi 575 pp. "In his million-copy bestseller Guns Germs and Steel Jared Diamond examined how and why Western civilizations developed the technologies and immunities that allowed them to dominate much of the world. Now in this brilliant companion volume Diamond probes the other side of the equation: What caused some of the great civilizations of the past to collapse into ruin and what can we learn from their fates As in Guns Germs and Steel Diamond weaves an all-encompassing global thesis through a series of fascinating historical-cultural narratives. Moving from the Polynesian cultures on Easter Island to the flourishing American civilizations of the Anasazi and the Maya and finally to the doomed Viking colony on Greenland Diamond traces the fundamental pattern of catastrophe. Environmental damage climate change rapid population growth and unwise political choices were all factors in the demise of these societies but other societies found solutions and persisted. Similar problems face us today and have already brought disaster to Rwanda and Haiti even as China and Australia are trying to cope in innovative ways. Despite our own society's apparently inexhaustible wealth and unrivaled political power ominous warning signs have begun to emerge even in ecologically robust areas like Montana. Brilliant illuminating and immensely absorbing Collapse is destined to take its place as one of the essential books of our time raising the urgent question: How can our world best avoid committing ecological suicide Viking hardcover books
