New. Using both grand conceptualizations and grounded case studies, Allan Pred and Michael Watts look at how people cope with and give meaning to capitalism and modernity in different times and places. As capital accumulation has grown and taken new forms, it has affected technology and labor relations which in turn have affected people's daily lives. These changes have not always been either welcome or easy. Pred and Watts focus on the symbolic discontent and cultural confrontations that accompany capitalism. They depict people struggling over the meaning of change in their lives and over new relations of power. Modernity is experienced differently in different times and places. To illustrate this point, Pred and Watts offer four case studies that range across time and space. These studies remind us that there are multiple capitalisms and mutiple reactions to capitalisms. Watts begins with a study of a Muslim millenarian movement that arose alongside the Nigerian oil boom of the 1970s. When a Muslim prophet and disenfranchised followers tried to create a distinctive community and identity, they came into brutal conflict with state authorities. Thousands died in the resulting oppression. Watts's next case is less bloody, at least in the short run. He tell us what happened when technological change was introduced in rice production in West African peasant society. Peasants were drawn into the world economy as contract farmers. This changed work relations and affected everyday life in peasant households. Families began to fight over who would work and under what conditions. They struggled over gender indentity and property rights. We move back in time and across space for ther third case study. Pred discusses changes in the daily life of the Stockholm working class at the end of the nineteenth century. He writes of the various forms their discontent took as they struggled with economic restructuring. Even conflict over street names took on special meaning. For the last case Pred takes us to a steel mill in California. When a South Korean company became half owner of the mill, there was money for modernization and the threat of layoffs was reduced. But the workers remained unhappy. They protested low wages, unsafe conditions, and unfair recruitment practices. Their labor issues turned into issues of nationalism, morality and identity. All four case studies demonstrate the shock of modernity and how the resulting struggles affect daily life., 6, paperback. Good. Access codes and supplements are not guaranteed with used items.

The progress from generator of European civilization to late Roman university town already crumbling but living off its past, to waste land where the past was unknown to its inhabitants, to provincial village under enemy rule, to beleaguered citadel in a Greece rebelling against its foreign overlords, to capital of a buffer state set up to suit the governments of Europe oscillating between the liberalism and counter-revolution of the 1830s, to the flashy smog-choked industrial holiday-and-boom-town of today, is unique in the history of cities. This collection of 88 writings from the 4th century AD to 1940 spans an age when, for most of the outside world, Greece was a myth and Athens off the map. That Greeks were not a mythical race, and that even a shattered and denuded Athens remained an integral part of European and Middle Eastern history, is demonstrated here in the pages of late pagans, oarly Christians, Byzantine and other medieval chroniclers, Ottoman and Occidental conquerors, travellers, pilgrims, agents, Grand-Tourists, and Athenians themselves during the Turkish occupation, the Creek Revolution and the travails of the country's limited independence through the 18th century into the first half of the 20th. These sources give an incisive and often prophetic picture of a city, a country and a people. Together with a commentary by the compiler that explores the direct bearing of this many-faceted history upon the present age in a place where three continents face each other across a narrow sea, they reveal some surprising aspects of the past and illuminate certain crucial problems of our own time, bath in Athens and the wider international arena.

First edition. hardcover. A near fine copy in a near fine dust jacket. Briefly inscribed on the title page by the author. A mesmerizing ode to the Pacific Northwest, convincing us that the wilderness is a source of "renewal"--if we will only stop treating "paradise" like a "vacant lot." "To see what a century can produce from scratch," Egan retraces a journey made in 1853 by young New Englander Theodore Winthrop through wilderness that is now Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia. In a book about his trip, The Canoe and the Saddle, Winthrop predicted that this "strong, savage and majestic" land would produce a "full growth of the American Idea." Egan's riveting travelogue (which includes maps, not seen) surveys what civilization (in places like Seattle and rose-filled Victoria) has brought about since the time of the "prophetic" Winthrop, while taking in the incredibly varied drama of this landscape (from the "incorrigible breakers" of the Columbia River Bar to the primeval Olympic Rain Forest and the North Cascades' "museum of ice"). A New York Times reporter and Northwest native, Egan writes about this land and "its icons--salmon and trees and mountains and water" with the nightmare of urban traffic at his heels. Street-smart and image-stocked prose animates landscape where water is "the master architect" and giant trees are falling in today's timber boom "like a retreating army in winter." Egan alerts us to the cries of slaughter still echoing from the white man's wilderness rampage, which left native tribes decimated, land stripped, and water poisoned. We feel the loss of sea otters, harbor seals, wolves, and salmon (the "soul" of the rivers), and see the madness of continually leveling 62,000 acres a year of ancient, irreplaceable forests. "Winthrop thought the land here would change a man, not the other way around," Egan writes. ". . .We have yet to prove him entirely wrong." Glimpsing "exalted life in the iced pinnacles," readers from any landscape will respond to Egan's timely, pantheistic call, Knopf, 1990, 4, Washington DC: Air Force History and Museums Program, 1998.
