Paperback. Etat : Good. Napol on et l'Am rique d'Alfred Schalck de la Faverie est une oeuvre majeure qui explore les relations complexes entre la France napol onienne et les tats-Unis naissants. Cet ouvrage offre une analyse approfondie de l'influence de Napol on Bonaparte sur la jeune r publique am ricaine, r v lant des aspects souvent n glig s de l'histoire diplomatique du d but du XIXe si cle. Schalck de la Faverie commence par retracer les origines des relations franco-am ricaines, remontant l' poque de l'ind pendance am ricaine et au soutien crucial apport par la France. Il examine ensuite comment ces relations ont volu sous le Consulat et l'Empire, mettant en lumi re les ambitions de Napol on en Am rique du Nord et ses implications dans la politique trang re am ricaine. L'auteur accorde une attention particuli re des v nements cl s tels que la vente de la Louisiane en 1803, un tournant majeur dans l'expansion territoriale des tats-Unis.

Paperback. Etat : Good. We humans live by stories, says David Korten, and the stories that now govern our society set us on a path to certain self-destruction. In this profound new book, Korten shares the results of his search for a story that reflects the fullness of human knowledge and understanding and provides a guide to action adequate to the needs of our time. Korten calls our current story Sacred Money and Markets. Money, it tells us, is the measure of all worth and the source of all happiness. Earth is simply a source of raw materials. Inequality and environmental destruction are unfortunate but unavoidable. Although many recognize that this story promotes bad ethics, bad science, and bad economics, it will remain our guiding story until replaced by one that aligns with our deepest understanding of the universe and our relationship to it. To guide our path to a viable human future, Korten offers a Sacred Life and Living Earth story grounded in a cosmology that affirms we are living beings born of a living Earth itself born of a living universe. Our health and well-being depend on an economy that works in partnership with the processes by which Earth's community of life maintains the conditions of its own existence--and ours. Offering a hopeful vision, Korten lays out the transformative impact adopting this story will have on every aspect of human life and society.…

Paperback. Etat : Good. The author of When Corporations Rule the World presents a critical handbook for economic revolution in this revised and updated edition. Despite the lessons learned from the economic meltdown of 2008, we are more vulnerable than ever to the same kind of economic havoc. Wall Street executives have returned to their culture of massive bonuses, and our leaders in Washington remain unwilling to make desperately needed fundamental changes to the economy. Change will instead have to come from below. Agenda for a New Economy is the handbook for that revolution. In this revised and updated edition David Korten has fleshed out his vision of the alternative to the corporate Wall Street economy: a Main Street economy based on locally owned, community-oriented "living enterprises" whose success is measured as much by their positive impact on people and the environment as by their positive balance sheet. We will lose nothing in the process because, as Korten ably demonstrates, the supposed services Wall Street offers are simply a con game. And Korten now offers more in-depth advice on how to mount a grassroots campaign to bring about an economy based on shared prosperity, ecological stewardship, and citizen democracy.…
