DOWNLOAD EBOOKHarris (emeritus, history, Temple U.) argues that previous interpretations have misunderstood the historical trends of human population growth and decline, therefore failing to grasp the causes and consequences of recurring patterns. In an effort to provide a simpler, more accurate and insightful way to generalize and understand these trends, he presents new models for depicting, connecting and understanding three forms of expansion. These models are then applied to specific populations in the U.S. from 1607 to the 1990s, and to other northern European colonizations around the world. He also examines growth and decline in South and Middle America, regions of European countries, Japan, and China. The text concludes with a discussion of local populations, including the growth of cities and urban populations, as well as smaller populations such as towns, villages, and hamlets. This is volume 1, but it's not clear how many volumes are planned. Annotation copyrighted by Book News Inc., Portland, OR.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKA lively history of Boston’s emergence as a world-class city—home to the likes of Frederick Douglass and Alexander Graham Bell—by a beloved Bostonian historian “It’s been quite a while since I’ve read anything—fiction or nonfiction—so enthralling.”—Dennis Lehane, author of Mystic River and Shutter Island Once upon a time, “Boston Town” was an insulated New England township. But the community was destined for greatness. Between 1850 and 1900, Boston underwent a stunning metamorphosis to emerge as one of the world’s great metropolises—one that achieved national and international prominence in politics, medicine, education, science, social activism, literature, commerce, and transportation. Long before the frustrations of our modern era, in which the notion of accomplishing great things often appears overwhelming or even impossible, Boston distinguished itself in the last half of the nineteenth century by proving it could tackle and overcome the most arduous of challenges and obstacles with repeated—and often resounding—success, becoming a city of vision and daring. In A City So Grand, Stephen Puleo chronicles this remarkable period in Boston’s history, in his trademark page-turning style. Our journey begins with the ferocity of the abolitionist movement of the 1850s and ends with the glorious opening of America’s first subway station, in 1897. In between we witness the thirty-five-year engineering and city-planning feat of the Back Bay project, Boston’s explosion in size through immigration and annexation, the devastating Great Fire of 1872 and subsequent rebuilding of downtown, and Alexander Graham Bell’s first telephone utterance in 1876 from his lab at Exeter Place. These lively stories and many more paint an extraordinary portrait of a half century of progress, leadership, and influence that turned a New England town into a world-class city, giving us the Boston we know today.
