The Legacy of Conquest: The Unbroken Past of the American West
Author: Patricia Nelson Limerick
Publisher: W. W. Norton & Company
ISBN: 0393078809
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 404
Book Description
"Limerick is one of the most engaging historians writing today." --Richard White The "settling" of the American West has been perceived throughout the world as a series of quaint, violent, and romantic adventures. But in fact, Patricia Nelson Limerick argues, the West has a history grounded primarily in economic reality; in hardheaded questions of profit, loss, competition, and consolidation. Here she interprets the stories and the characters in a new way: the trappers, traders, Indians, farmers, oilmen, cowboys, and sheriffs of the Old West "meant business" in more ways than one, and their descendents mean business today.

Diary of an Oxygen Thief
Author: Anonymous
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1501157868
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 136
Book Description
Hurt people hurt people. Say there was a novel in which Holden Caulfield was an alcoholic and Lolita was a photographer’s assistant and, somehow, they met in Bright Lights, Big City. He’s blinded by love. She by ambition. Diary of an Oxygen Thief is an honest, hilarious, and heartrending novel, but above all, a very realistic account of what we do to each other and what we allow to have done to us.
