Biographie de l'auteur
Henry David Thoreau was born in Concord, Massachusetts in 1817. He graduated from Harvard in 1837, the same year he began his lifelong Journal. Inspired by Ralph Waldo Emerson, Thoreau became a key member of the Transcendentalist movement that included Margaret Fuller and Bronson Alcott. The Transcendentalists' faith in nature was tested by Thoreau between 1845 and 1847 when he lived for twenty-six months in a homemade hut at Walden Pond. While living at Walden, Thoreau worked on the two books published during his lifetime: Walden (1854) and A Week on the Concord and Merrimack Rivers (1849). Several of his other works, including The Maine Woods, Cape Cod, and Excursions, were published posthumously. Thoreau died in Concord, at the age of forty-four, in 1862.
Paul Theroux, an internationally acclaimed travel writer, is also the author of over two dozen novels and works of non-fiction. He divides his time between Cape Cod and the Hawaiian Islands.

Hardcover. Etat : Good. Filthy, unshaven, wearing tattered camouflaged uniforms with muddy boots, these men were totally indistinguishable among the previously Top Secret Marine Raiders as they returned from combat. They were not with the Raiders to kill the enemy, although they were sometimes forced to do so.Who were they? What did they do? They were the Navy Combat Corpsmen, Doctors and Chaplains of the Fleet Marine force that trained with, lived with and fought alongside, the famed \"Suicide Squads\" of World War II, the U.S. Marine Raiders.Assigned to each platoon, the Corpsman was called upon to give first aid to Marines wounded on the battlefield, often sacrificing his own life to do so. As Raiders they earned an everlasting place in the glorious history of the Marine Corps, in recognition of their battles against the Japanese enemy in World War II.The supposedly invincible warriors of the Japanese Empire suffered their first defeat in World War II at the hands of this small band of hush, hush Marines at Tulagi, British Solomon Islands in 1942.Raiders fought at Guadalcanal, Midway, Makin, Bougainville, and New Georgia as the 1st Marine Raider Regiment, and as the 4th Marines at Guam and Okinawa the last battle of WW II, every major island battle in the Pacific during the war.Chosen to spearhead the invasion of the Japanese mainland, they instead became the first occupying troops to land on the Japanese homeland in over 400 years.This small band of intrepid Marine and Navy fighters numbered only 7,094 men. Yet they were awarded 7 Medals of Honor, 137 Navy Crosses, 21 Army Distinguished Service Crosses, 350 Silver Star Medals, 18 Legions of Merit and had 30 Ships named for them.THIS IS THEIR STORY!.

Hardcover. Etat : new. Hardcover. Presents Henry David Thoreau's account of Cape Cod. This title focuses on his encounters with the ocean, from the fatal shipwreck of the opening episode to the late reflections on the Pilgrims' Cape Cod landing and reconnaissance. It relates the experiences of fishermen and oystermen, farmers and salvagers, lighthouse-keepers and ship-captains. Thoreau's compelling account of Cape Cod is here presented in the complete and definitive text. His trips to the Cape, he wrote, were intended to afford "a better view than I had yet had of the ocean." In the plants, animals, topography, weather, people, and human works of Massachusetts' long projection into the Atlantic, he finds "another world." Encounters with the ocean dominate the book, from the fatal shipwreck of the opening episode to the late reflections on the Pilgrims' Cape Cod landing and reconnaissance. Along the way, Thoreau relates the experiences of fishermen and oystermen, farmers and salvagers, lighthouse-keepers and ship-captains, as well as his own intense confrontations with the sea as he travels the land's outermost margins. Chronicles of exploration, settlement, and survival on the Cape lead Thoreau to reconceive the history of New England and to recognize the parochialism of history itself. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. N° de réf. du vendeur 9780691065328
