On the second day of July in the year 1863 the Civil War in America was at its height. Late in the preceding month Lee had turned his face northward, and, with an army of a hundred thou-sand Confederate soldiers at his back, had marched up into Penn-sylvania. There was little to hinder his advance. Refraining, by reason of strict orders, from wanton destruction of property, his soldiers nevertheless lived on the rich country through which they passed. York and Carlisle were in their grasp. Harrisburg was but a day’s march away, and now, on this second day of July, flushed with fresh victories, they had turned and were giving desperate battle, through the streets and on the hills of Gettysburg, to the Union armies that had followed them. The old commonwealth was stirred as she had not been stirred before since the fall of Sumter. Every town and village in the state responded quickly to the governor’s call for emergency troops to defend the capital city. Mount Hermon, already depleted by gen-erous early enlistments, and by the draft of 1862, gathered to-gether the bulk of the able-bodied men left in the village and its surroundings, and sent them forth in defense of the common-wealth. Not that Mount Hermon was in especial danger from Lee’s invasion, far from it. Up in the northeastern corner of the state, on a plateau of one of the low foot-hills of the Moosic range, sheltered by the mountains at its back, it was well protected, both by reason of distance and location, from the advancing foe. But Mount Hermon was intensely patriotic. In the days preceding the Revolution the sturdy pioneers from Connecticut had met the equally sturdy settlers from the domain of Penn, and on this plateau they had fought out their contentions and settled their differences; the son of the Pennamite had married the daughter of the Yankee; and the new race, with love of country tingeing every drop of its blood a deeper red, had stayed on and possessed the land. So, on this July day, when the armies of North and South were striving and struggling with each other in bloody combat back and forth across the plain and up the hills of Gettysburg, Mount Hermon’s heart beat fast. But it was not for themselves that these people were anxious. It was for the fathers, husbands, sons, lovers in that army with which Meade, untried and unproven, was endeavoring to match the strategy and strength of Lee. News of the first day’s skirmishing had reached the village, and it was felt that a great battle was imminent. In the early evening, while the women were still busy at their household tasks, the men gathered at the post-office and the stores, eager for late news, anxious to discuss the situation as they had learned it. In the meantime the boys of the town had congregated on the village green to resume the military drills which, with more or less frequency, they had carried on during the summer. These drills were not wholly without serious intent. It was play, indeed; but, out of the ranks of these boys, three of the older ones had already gone to the front to fight real battles; and it was felt, by the men of the town, that the boys could not be too thoroughly imbued with the military spirit. So, on this July evening, wakened into new ardor by the news from Gettysburg, they had gathered to resume their nightly work—and play.There were thirty-three of them, ranging in years all the way from eight to eighteen. They were eager and enthusiastic. At the command to fall in there was much pushing and jostling, much striving for desirable places, and even the young captain, with great show of authority, could not quite adjust all differences to the complete satisfaction of his men.Before the confusion had wholly ceased, and while there were still awkward gaps in the ranks, a tall, straight, shy-mannered boy of seventeen, who had remained hitherto on the outskirts of the group, quietly slipped into one of the vacant places.

Inventions of the Great War
Inventions of the Great War
Alexander Russell Bond
¥27.88
The great World War was more than two-thirds over when America entered the struggle, and yet in a sense this country was in the war from its very beginning. Three great inventions controlled the character of the fighting and made it different from any other the world has ever seen. These three inventions were American. The submarine was our invention; it carried the war into the sea. The airplane was an American invention; it carried the war into the sky. We invented the machine-gun; it drove the war into the ground. It is not my purpose to boast of American genius but, rather, to show that we entered the war with heavy responsibilities. The inven-tions we had given to the world had been developed marvelously in other lands. Furthermore they were in the hands of a determined and unscrupulous foe, and we found before us the task of overcoming the very machines that we had created. Yankee ingenuity was faced with a real test. The only way of overcoming the airplane was to build more and better machines than the enemy possessed. This we tried to do, but first we had to be taught by our allies the latest refinements of this machine, and the war was over before we had more than started our a?rial program. The machine-gun and its accessory, barbed wire (also an American invention), were overcome by the tank; and we may find what little comfort we can in the fact that its invention was inspired by the sight of an American farm tractor. But the tank was a British creation and was undoubtedly the most important invention of the war. On the sea we were faced with a most baffling problem. The U-boat could not be coped with by the building of swarms of submarines. The essential here was a means of locating the enemy and destroying him even while he lurked under the surface. Two American inventions, the hydrophone and the depth bomb, made the lot of the U-boat decidedly unenviable and they hastened if they did not actually end German frightfulness on the sea. But these were by no means the only inventions of the war. Great Britain showed wonderful ingenuity and resourcefulness in many di-rections; France did marvels with the airplane and showed great clev-erness in her development of the tank and there was a host of minor inventions to her credit; while Italy showed marked skill in the crea-tion of large airplanes and small seacraft.

The Seventh Man by Max Brand, tells part of the story of the larger-than-life western character, Dan Barry, known as “Whistling Dan,” and his alter-ego companions, Black Bart, the wolf-dog, and Satan, the indomitable black stallion. It’s also the story of Kate Cumberland and the incredible five-year-old daughter of Kate and Dan, Joan. We first see Dan as a gentle, caring man with a deep sense of fairness. But then, after six years of a peaceful life in their mountain cabin Dan, more feral than human, sets out to revenge an injustice by killing seven men. Ultimately, it is his devotion to his daughter and Kate’s love for the child that brings about the climax of the tale. Warning: don’t look for a typical cowboy story here – it’s far deeper and stronger than that.

Datele prezentate acoper? practic toate Aspectele vie?ii politice, sociale, economice ?i culturale ale acestui interval de timp, marcat at?t de aura ?arilor, c?t ?i de nenum?ratele revolte populare. Tabloul evenimentelor majore este ?ntregit cu minu?ioase inventare de titluri nobiliare, cu date economice consemnate cu acribie, cu o expunere vie a panoramei cutumelor sociale, familiale ?i religioase, merg?nd de la modalit??ile de confec?ionare a juc?riilor sau a bijuteriilor p?n? la istorii ale ceaiului sau vodcii. Atmosfera epocii cap?t? un contur des?v?r?it prin citarea unor fragmente din lucr?ri ?tiin?ifice de referin??, din jurnalele de c?l?torie ?i din publicistica vremii, dar ?i din operele marilor scriitori ai vremii, ca Dostoievski, Gogol ?i Tolstoi.

Interviuri aprofundate, initiate de Gallup Organization cu mai mult de 80.000 de manageri din peste 400 de companii – cel mai extins studiu de gen, realizat vreodata. Cei mai mari manageri din lume par sa aiba prea putine lucruri in comun. Ei sunt diferiti ca sex, varsta si rasa. Folosesc stiluri foarte diferite si au teluri distincte. Si totusi, in ciuda diferentelor dintre ei, marii manageri au o trasatura comuna: nu se feresc sa incalce toate regulile considerate sacre de managementul traditional. Ei nu cred ca, beneficiind de o pregatire corespunzatoare, o persoana poate realiza orice si-ar propune. Nu incearca sa-i ajute pe oameni sa-si depaseasca slabiciunile. Nu iau in seama deloc regula de aur. Dimpotriva, chiar au angajati favoriti. Aceasta carte extraordinara explica de ce fac toate acestea. Marcus Buckingham si Curt Coffman de la Gallup Organization prezinta rezultatele remarcabile ale studiului aprofundat pe care l-au facut asupra unor manageri aflati intr-o mare diversitate de situatii. Unii erau in pozitii de top. Altii erau simpli supervizori. Unii lucrau in companii aflate pe lista Fortune 500, altii aveau functii cheie in mici companii. Indiferent de pozitia lor, managerii asupra carora s-a concentrat studiul Gallup au fost invariabil cei care excelau in transformarea in performanta a talentului fiecarui angajat. Pe restransa piata a muncii de astazi, companiile se intrec in a-i gasi si a-i pastra pe cei mai buni angajati, rasplatindu-i cu bani, beneficii, promovari si stagii de instruire. Dar aceste eforturi bine intentionate omit adesea esentialul. Cheia atragerii si pastrarii angajatilor talentati este managerul aflat in ?prima linie“, adica in contact direct cu acestia. Oricat de generos ar fi salariul si oricat de celebru stagiul de pregatire, o companie care duce lipsa de manageri ?in prima linie“ va avea de suferit. Buckingham si Coffman explica modul in care cei mai buni manageri aleg un angajat mai degraba in functie de talent, decat in functie de pricepere sau experienta; felul in care acesti manageri definesc asteptarile legate de fiecare angajat, stabilind mai degraba rezultatele de atins, decat pasii de urmat; modul in care isi motiveaza oamenii, stimuland punctele forte unice ale fiecaruia, in loc de a incerca sa le amelioreze slabiciunile si, in sfarsit, felul in care marii manageri sprijina dezvoltarea cuiva, ajutandu-l sa-si gaseasca locul potrivit, nu neaparat sa urce pe treapta urmatoare a carierei. Si, poate cel mai important lucru este faptul ca, din acest studiu care initial a generat mii de intrebari diferite pentru a sonda opinia angajatilor, au rezultat douasprezece intrebari simple care reusesc sa distinga departamentele cele mai puternice ale unei companii de restul departamentelor. Cartea de fata este prima care prezinta acest fundamental instrument de masurare si care demonstreaza legatura intre opiniile angajatilor si productivitate, profit, satisfactia clientilor si rata profitului.
