Binding/Media: Hardcover
Condition: Collectible: Very Good
Comments: 2000. First Edition. First Printing. Full number line. Hardcover. 398pp. Very Good+ in a Very Good+ DJ. In American Places, more than two dozen of America's most gifted historians write about their own encounters with historic places, bringing a personal viewpoint to bear on a wide variety of sites, ranging from Monticello to Fenway Park. Here James M. McPherson writes about the battlefied of Gettysburg, and how walking the ground of Pickett's Charge inspired one of his books. Kevin Starr visits the Musso & Frank Grill in Hollywood and finds many of the flavors of California history there. Joel Williamson takes a bemused tour of Elvis Presley's Graceland, and David Kennedy tells the story of the Pig War of San Juan Island, where a spat between Britain and America over a speck of land in the Pacific helped determine the shape of the U.S. and Canada. William Freehling compares two places, Charleston's Battery and New Orleans' Jackson Square, showing how each reveals the different spirit of the society that created it. And Edward Ayers talks about spending time in Cyberspace, U.S.A., a virtual place that has much in common with the America visited by Alexis de Tocqueville a century and a half ago. Other pieces include Robert Dallek on the FDR Memorial, David Hackett Fischer on the Boston Common, and William Leuchtenburg on his native borough of Queens. Light blue boards with black cloth spine. Title in gold on spine. Some very minor wear to DJ. No rips or tears. Text is nice and clean with no writing or highlighting. DJ covered in Brodart Mylar.

by Andro Linklater
Publisher: Walker & Company (2002-11-01)
ISBN: 0802713963
Binding/Media: Hardcover
Edition: 1St Edition
Condition: Collectible: Very Good
Comments: 2002. First Edition. First Printing. Full number line. Hardcover. 310pp. How we ultimately gained the American Customary System-the last traditional system in the world-and how Gunter's chain indelibly imprinted its dimensions on the land, on cities, and on our culture from coast to coast is both an exciting human and intellectual drama and one of the great untold stories in American history. At a time when the metric system may finally be unstoppable, Andro Linklater has captured the essential nature of measurement just as the Founding Fathers understood it. Sagely argued and beautifully written, Measuring America offers readers nothing less than the opportunity to see America's history-and our democracy-in a brilliant new light. Very Good in a Very Good DJ. Light brown boards with title stamped in red on spine. Some very minor wear to DJ. No rips or tears. Text is nice and clean with no writing or highlighting. DJ covered in Brodart Mylar.
