A Trip Through American History in Connecticut

One of the most populated states in the US, a bedroom community of NYC, birthplace of the insurance industry, is that Connecticut? Not if you are seeing it with Passport to Adventure! Julie &Mark seek out the real Connecticut, cycling through pristine countryside and meeting locals who have roots generations deep. Wherever you go, American history comes alive in Connecticut. At the Mystic Seaport, our 19th century maritime heritage is recreated in the streets of the village, and the historic ships docked in the harbor. In Hartford, Mark & Julie step into the life of American literary icon, Mark Twain, and in the Quiet Corners they’re introduced to little known aspects of the abolition movement. Kayaking in the Long Island Sound, sampling apple cider fresh from an 18th century press, and meeting the pioneers in America’s newest wine growing region — that’s Connecticut!

Sounds Like Teen Spirit: Stolen Melodies, Ripped-Off Riffs, and the Secret History of Rock and Roll

Sounds Like Teen Spirit: Stolen Melodies, Ripped-Off Riffs, and the Secret History of Rock and Roll

“A fun read that’ll have you replaying the songs in your mind and on your stereo.”
—Chicago Tribune Have you ever listened to a new song and felt as if you’d heard it before? It’s not your imagination. Melodies are “borrowed,” consciously or subconsciously, more than you might think. For instance, do you know: That U2’s “Beautiful Day” shares part of its tune with an a-ha hit from the eighties? Why Huey Lewis was so upset when he first heard Ray Parker Jr.’s “Ghostbusters”? How John Lennon’s classic “Imagine” bears an uncanny resemblance to a novelty record cut by his dad? Sounds Like Teen Spirit tells the fascinating true stories behind these and many other “sound-alike” songs. Showcas

City of Stone: The Hidden History of Jerusalem Reviews

City of Stone: The Hidden History of Jerusalem

Jerusalem is more than a holy city built of stone. Domain of Muslims, Jews, and Christians, Jerusalem is a perpetual contest, and its shrines, housing projects, and bulldozers compete in a scramble for possession. Now one of Jerusalem’s most respected authorities presents a history of the city that does not fall prey to any one version of its past.
Meron Benvenisti begins with a reflection on the 1996 celebration of Jerusalem’s 3000-year anniversary as the capital of the Kingdom of Israel. He then juxtaposes eras, dynasties, and rulers in ways that provide grand comparative insights. But unlike recent politically motivated histories written to justify the claims of Jews and Arabs now living in Jerusalem, Benvenisti has no such agenda. Hi

Mannahatta: A Natural History of New York City

Mannahatta: A Natural History of New York City

On September 12, 1609, Henry Hudson first set eyes on the land that would become Manhattan. It’s difficult for us to imagine what he saw, but for more than a decade, landscape ecologist Eric Sanderson has been working to do just that. Mannahatta: A Natural History of New York City is the astounding result of those efforts, reconstructing, in words and images, the wild island that millions of New Yorkers now call home.
By geographically matching an 18th-century map of Manhattan’s landscape to the modern cityscape, combing through historical and archaeological records, and applying modern principles of ecology and computer modeling, Sanderson is able to re-create the forests of Times Square, the meadows of Harlem, and the wetlands of downt

Avoiding the Dire Straits: An inquiry into Food Provisions and Scurvy in Maritime and Military History of China and wider East Asia (East Asian … Studies – East Asian Maritime History)

Avoiding the Dire Straits: An inquiry into Food Provisions and Scurvy in Maritime and Military History of China and wider East Asia (East Asian … Studies – East Asian Maritime History)

Scurvy is known to be one of the most gruesome pathological phenomena that, in the course of centuries, has made innumerable victims. Long distance seafaring operations, war zones, prisons and crop failures all created breeding grounds for the vitamin C deficiency disease, which was commonly characterized by swelling and bleeding gums and internal haemorraghes in the limbs. While the history of scurvy is rather well-known from a Western perspective, the higher proclivity of Asian peoples to scurvy, in comparison to Europeans, Polynesians and other peoples, as proven in recent biochemical studies, compells historians to broaden that horizon and look for scurvy in China and beyond. The purpose of this book is to trace the history of the disea
