Super Continent
Author: Kent E. Calder
Publisher: Stanford University Press
ISBN: 1503609626
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 480
Book Description
A Eurasian transformation is underway, and it flows from China. With a geopolitically central location, the country's domestic and international policies are poised to change the face of global affairs. The Belt and Road Initiative has called attention to a deepening Eurasian continentalism that has, argues Kent Calder, much more significant implications than have yet been recognized. In Super Continent, Calder presents a theoretically guided and empirically grounded explanation for these changes. He shows that key inflection points, beginning with the Four Modernizations and the collapse of the Soviet Union; and culminating in China's response to the Global Financial Crisis and Crimea's annexation, are triggering tectonic shifts. Furthermore, understanding China's emerging regional and global roles involves comprehending two ongoing transformations—within China and across Eurasia as a whole—and that the two are profoundly interrelated. Calder underlines that the geo-economic logic that prevailed across Eurasia before Columbus, and that made the Silk Road a central thoroughfare of world affairs for close to two millennia, is reasserting itself once again.

America in 1900
Author: Noel J Kent
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317477375
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 307
Book Description
Many of the key issues concerning the United States as we enter the 21st century were already taking shape as we entered the 20th century. Business mergers, U.S. military intervention (in the Philippines), trade disputes with China and Europe, racial violence, high levels of crime, rising income gaps between rich and poor, volatile stock market prices, homelessness in the cities, the dangers of immigration, and the domination of money in elections -- all these major national issues in 1900 are familiar in some form to Americans today. The nation grappled for the first time with a series of complex new challenges: distribution of wealth and economic opportunity; the form race and ethnic relations should take in a country of increasing diversity; the relationship between big business and government; how the United States, as a new world power, should act overseas; and a host of others. Written in a fluid and highly readable style, Kent's ten chapters comprise a colorful narrative history of the major events of this pivotal year that continues to resonate a century later.

Kent Knowles: Quahaug
Author: Joseph C. Lincoln
Publisher: Echo Library
ISBN: 9781406892130
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 268
Book Description
Lincoln (1870-1944) was an American author of novels, poems and short stories, many set in a fictionalized Cape Cod. He was born in Brewster, Massachusetts, on Cape Cod, but after the death of his father his mother moved the family to Chelsea, Mass., a manufacturing town outside Boston. His literary output celebrating "old Cape Cod" was in part an attempt to return to the place of his happiest memories, before tragedy drove the family from their home, and his portrayals also offered readers an antidote to the rapid modernization America was undergoing at the beginning of the 20th century. His stories frequently appeared in popular magazines such as The Saturday Evening Post and The Delineator, and there have been six films based on his work. This novel was first published in 1914.
