Get Colossus Free Get Colossus Ebook Download Colossus 30 Days Trial Colossus By:Niall Ferguson Published on 2005-03-29 by Penguin Is America an empire? Certainly not, according to our government. Despite the conquest of two sovereign states in as many years, despite the presence of more than 750 military installations in two thirds of the world’s countries and despite his stated intention |to extend the benefits of freedom...to every corner of the world,| George W. Bush maintains that |America has never been an empire.| |We don’t seek empires,| insists Defense Secretary Rumsfeld. |We’re not imperialistic.| Nonsense, says Niall Ferguson. In Colossus he argues that in both military and economic terms America is nothing less than the most powerful empire the world has ever seen. Just like the British Empire a century ago, the United States aspires to globalize free markets, the rule of law, and representative government. In theory it’s a good project, says Ferguson. Yet Americans shy awa...

Download Nationalizing Empires Free Read Nationalizing Empires Pdf Download Nationalizing Empires 30 Days Trial Nationalizing Empires By:Stefan Berger,Alexei Miller Published on 2015-06-30 by Central European University Press The essays in Nationalizing Empires challenge the dichotomy between empire and nation state that for decades has dominated historiography. The authors center their attention on nation-building in the imperial core and maintain that the nineteenth century, rather than the age of nation-states, was the age of empires and nationalism. They identify a number of instances where nation building projects in the imperial metropolis aimed at the preservation and extension of empires rather than at their dissolution or the transformation of entire empires into nation states. Such observations have until recently largely escaped theoretical reflection. This Book was ranked at 27 by Google Books for keyword Empires.

Read Empires at War Pdf Download Empires at War Ebook Get Empires at War Pdf Empires at War By:Francis Pike Published on 2010 by I B Tauris & Company Limited Empires at War gives a dramatic narrative account of how |Modern Asia| came into being. Ranging over the whole of Asia, from Japan to Pakistan, the modern history of this important region is placed in the context of the struggle between America and the Soviet Union. Francis Pike shows that America's domination of post-war Asia was a continuation of a 100-year competition for power in the region. He also argues cogently that, contrary to the largely |Western-centric| viewpoint, Asian nations were not simply the passive and biddable pawns of the superpowers, but had a political development which was both separate and unique, with a dynamic that was largely independent of the superpower conflict. And, in conclusion, the book traces the unwinding of American influence and the end of its empire, a crucial development in interna...

Download Empire of Water Ebook Download Empire of Water Online Get Empire of Water Ebook Empire of Water By:David Soll Published on 2013-04-16 by Cornell University Press Supplying water to millions is not simply an engineering and logistical challenge. As David Soll shows in his finely observed history of the nation's largest municipal water system, the task of providing water to New Yorkers transformed the natural and built environment of the city, its suburbs, and distant rural watersheds. Almost as soon as New York City completed its first municipal water system in 1842, it began to expand the network, eventually reaching far into the Catskill Mountains, more than one hundred miles from the city. Empire of Water explores the history of New York City's water system from the late nineteenth century to the early twenty-first century, focusing on the geographical, environmental, and political repercussions of the city's search for more water. Soll vividly recounts the profo...

Download A Thirst for Empire Pdf Read A Thirst for Empire Ebook Download A Thirst for Empire Pdf A Thirst for Empire By:Erika Rappaport Published on 2017-08-28 by Princeton University Press How the global tea industry influenced the international economy and the rise of mass consumerism Tea has been one of the most popular commodities in the world. Over centuries, profits from its growth and sales funded wars and fueled colonization, and its cultivation brought about massive changes—in land use, labor systems, market practices, and social hierarchies—the effects of which are with us even today. A Thirst for Empire takes a vast and in depth historical look at how men and women—through the tea industry in Europe, Asia, North America, and Africa—transformed global tastes and habits and in the process created our modern consumer society. As Erika Rappaport shows, between the seventeenth and twentieth centuries the boundaries of the tea industry and the British Empire overlapped but were ne...
