Sinossi

Patrick Matthew's "On Naval Timber and Arboriculture" is a groundbreaking exploration of the relationship between forestry practices and naval architecture, written in the mid-19th century. Matthew's eloquent prose intertwines empirical observation with vivid descriptions of various tree species, emphasizing the significance of sustainable forestry for shipbuilding. His meticulous approach reflects the burgeoning scientific interest in ecology and natural history during a period marked by industrial expansion, making this work both a technical manual and a philosophical treatise on nature's value. As a Scottish botanist and ship owner, Matthew's professional experiences with timber sourcing and maritime engineering uniquely positioned him to advocate for improved forestry management. His insights were shaped by a practical understanding of the timber trade, alongside a profound appreciation for the environmental implications of resource depletion. Furthermore, Matthew's intellectual milieu was influenced by the emerging theories of evolution, giving his argument a pioneering edge that foreshadowed modern conservation efforts. This book is highly recommended for scholars, environmentalists, and anyone interested in the historical intersections of ecology and industry. Matthew's vision remains relevant today, urging readers to consider the long-term sustainability of natural resources in a world where such conversations are more critical than ever.

    Eutaw Springs - The Final Battle...

    An in-depth analysis of one of the War for Independence’s bloodiest and least understood conflicts. 
     
    The Battle of Eutaw Springs took place on September 8, 1781, and was among the last in the War of Independence. It was brutal in its combat and reprisals, with Continental and Whig militia fighting British regulars and Loyalist regiments. Although its outcome was seemingly inconclusive, the battle, fought near present-day Eutawville, South Carolina, contained all the elements that defined the war in the South. In Eutaw Springs: The Final Battle of the American Revolution’s Southern Campaign, Robert M. Dunkerly and Irene B. Boland tell the story of this lesser known and under-studied battle of the Revolutionary War’s Southern Campaign. Shrouded in myth and misconception, the battle has also been overshadowed by the surrender of Yorktown. 
     
    Eutaw Springs represented lost opportunities for both armies. The American forces were desperate for a victory in 1781, and Gen. Nathanael Greene finally had the ground of his own choosing. British forces under Col. Alexander Stewart were equally determined to keep a solid grip on the territory they still held in the South Carolina lowcountry. 
     
    In one of the bloodiest battles of the war, both armies sustained heavy casualties with each side losing nearly twenty percent of its soldiers. Neither side won the hard-fought battle, and controversies plagued both sides in the aftermath. Dunkerly and Boland analyze the engagement and its significance within the context of the war’s closing months, study the area’s geology and setting, and recount the action using primary sources, aided by recent archaeology. 
     
    “A well put together book that is easy to read, and it makes good use of graphic material. Eutaw Springs is recommended.” —The Journal of America’s Military Past 
     
    “A long-overdue study of . . . Nathanael Greene’s last main force Southern campaign engagement. Drawing from a wealth of resources including new research, archaeology and pension documents, the authors have created an easy reading account. . . . For students of the Revolutionary War, this is must reading because so much focus has been directed at Yorktown where the British abandoned an army instead of the more mobile war in the South where the war was finally won by wearing down the British.” —Lawrence Babits, George Washington Distinguished Professor of History, East Carolina University 
     
    “A very good analysis of the political, military, and physical environment, with some profiles of a number of interesting people, most notably Nathanael Greene, after Washington the most important American general of the war, though he never won a battle.” —New York Military Affairs Symposium Review

    Space exploration is as much a story of leadership and teamwork as it is a story of exploration and discovery. Leadership Moments from NASA delves into the organizational culture, leadership styles, and insights of NASA senior executives spanning five decades of human spaceflight, to share the lessons they learned from critical moments where they took on seemingly insurmountable challenges. How did they prioritize? How did they resolve differences? How did they decide what to do when no one had done it before? How did they build highly competent teams? How did they build organizational resilience? How did they fight complacency and rebuild a culture of safety and innovation? 
     
     
     
    Through interviews with famous leaders such as Apollo's Gene Kranz, the first Hubble Space Telescope Servicing Mission's Joe Rothenberg, "astronaut maker" George Abbey, and former NASA Administrator Dan Goldin, this book shows how NASA recovered from tragedy and adversity, and how it developed a culture of competency that continues to attract the best and brightest.
