Excerpt from The Log of the Snark This was a few months before we were married. Say we start five years from now, figured Jack, who always seems to be making plans for a tangible eternity. We'll build our house on the ranch and get the place started with orchard and vines and livestock, at the same time going ahead with boat-drawings and building a yacht to suit. Five years will not be too much time. Then, privily, he asked what I thought of it. Too good to be true, was what I thought; but why wait so long? We'd never be younger than we were, and, besides, what was the good of putting up a home and leaving it for seven years - seven years being the time roughly calculated to carry out our far-reaching plan. I won the day. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

A prolific and enduringly popular author--and an icon of American fiction--Jack London is a rewarding choice for inclusion in classrooms from middle school to graduate programs. London's biography and the role played by celebrity have garnered considerable attention, but the breadth of his personal experiences and political views and the many historical and cultural contexts that shaped his work are key to gaining a nuanced view of London's corpus of works, as this volume's wide-ranging perspectives and examples attest. The first section of this volume, "Materials," surveys the many resources available for teaching London, including editions of his works, sources for his photography, and audiovisual aids. In part 2, "Approaches," contributors recommend practices for teaching London's works through the lenses of socialism and class, race, gender, ecocriticism and animal studies, theories of evolution, legal theory, and regional history, both in frequently taught texts such as The Call of the Wild, "To Build a Fire," and Martin Eden and in his lesser-known works.

文明的搖籃、發展與衝突、貿易戰爭、殖民爭霸、強權併吞、生態環境 海洋是世上最大犯罪現場？最多不法之地？ 大海的一切，牽動著陸地上的人類，7大海洋的過去與未來如何影響世界？ 萬海歸宗，一切要從海說起！ 我們往往只關注陸地，卻忽略更遼闊、影響人類命運的海洋大歷史 研究人類歷史，不只是陸地，海洋史更不能缺席 它左右了歷史走向，是世界史的縮影！ 海洋的重要性，遠超乎我們的想像 蘊藏石油、天然氣、金屬礦產、漁產等重要資源的海洋，為各國所覬覦 全球水道互相連通，也牽動著全球事務及地緣政治，新海上大戰一觸即發 海權是人類史的推手，造就今日世界的樣貌，也決定未來的命運 繼美國海軍史學家 奧夫瑞‧薩耶‧馬漢 之後，最具權威的海權論著──海軍上將 詹姆斯‧史塔萊迪 以《海權爭霸：世界7大海洋的歷史與地緣政治，全球列強戰略布局與角力》帶讀者真正重新認識海洋的前世今生，過去與未來。 詹姆斯‧史塔萊迪：「像地中海的西西里一樣，台灣也是兵家必爭的戰略要地。我穿著美國海軍制服倘佯在基隆港各處，腦海中想著這個島的戰略重要性：它像是南中國海的瓶塞，扼住韓國、日本、中國以及南方諸國之間的海上通道。」 詹姆斯‧史塔萊迪航遍全球各大洋的海軍上將，以獨到眼光剖析各大海洋： ‧一切海洋之母 ── 太平洋 ‧殖民的搖籃 ── 大西洋 ‧未來之海 ── 印度洋 ‧海戰發源地 ── 地中海 ‧可能爆發衝突的海 ── 南中國海 ‧停滯在過去的海 ── 加勒比海 ‧願景與凶險 ── 北冰洋 當代最著名的海軍將領，也是唯一做過北約盟軍最高統帥的美國海軍上將史塔萊迪，用他旅經全球各大海洋、身歷其境的經驗，寫出有關海權的故事，告訴我們海洋地理如何塑造國家命運，海軍軍力如何在一種實質意義上造就今天這個世界，並且決定明天的世界。 觀察地球和人類歷史時，我們往往聚焦在占30％表面積的陸塊，而輕忽占70％的海洋。事實上，海洋對過去及未來的世界都有關鍵性影響，範圍含括經濟、政治、軍事、生態環保等，因戰略地位及蘊涵重要資源，成為各國的權力競技場，誰能制定海洋秩序、調度世界資源，便能成為強權，海上力量對於國家繁榮與安全至關重要。 《海權爭霸》是一本精彩的海軍史，帶領我們以新角度觀察各大海上戰役。史塔萊迪以銳利的眼光探討特別是在北冰洋、東地中海與南中國海出現新海上大戰的可能性。從海盜到汙染，以宏觀角度審視海洋面對的諸多挑戰。 ※ 專文導讀 宋學文（國立中正大學戰略暨國際事務研究所教授兼社會科學院院長） 高世明（國立中山大學海洋事務研究所助理教授） 郭崇倫（聯合報副總編輯、《全球瞭望》節目主持人） ※ 好評推薦 王高成（淡江大學國際事務與戰略研究所教授兼國際研究學院院長） 宋燕輝（中央研究院歐美研究所研究員、挪威奧斯陸和平研究所全球研究員） 劉必榮（東吳大學政治學系教授） ※ 國際一致好評 世上沒有人比史塔萊迪將軍更了解海洋的重要性，以及海洋對現今安全的衝擊。他是一位無論從任何方面來說都傑出的領導人與海員。 ── 約翰‧麥坎（Senator John McCain），美國參議員 史塔萊迪將軍有將近七年的海軍戰鬥指揮官經驗，並且擔任過四年北約盟軍最高統帥，對這個世界瞭若指掌。在《海權爭霸》這本書裡，他毫不藏私，用明白而鋒銳的方式引導我們，幫助我們了解海的世界──在這動盪紛擾的世紀，這是一本非常重要的分析。 ── 羅伯‧蓋茨（Robert M. Gates），美國國防部長（2008－2011） 史塔萊迪將軍在美國海軍服役近四十年，素以地緣政治重要思想家著稱。他將幾十年海上經驗與地緣政治思考合而為一，寫成《海權爭霸》這本書，為任何真正思考21世紀世界新挑戰的人必備。 ── 比爾‧麥拉文（Admiral Bill Mcraven），美國海軍退役將軍 史塔萊迪將軍曾經航遍全球各大洋，他將這些旅程精簡濃縮，寫成這本觀察力敏銳的海上世界地緣政治佳作。他以海員的眼光觀察這個動盪的海上世界，是一次值得我們一遊的旅程。 ── 麥克‧穆蘭（Admiral Mike Mullen），美國海軍退役將軍，曾任第17屆參謀首長聯席會議主席、第28屆海軍軍令部長 非常精采，非常重要……史塔萊迪不僅充分描述了他的副標題──全球海洋的歷史與地緣政治──還達成更深奧、複雜、意義也更重大的目標：在一個大海權國海軍的海上服役，可以同時擴展服役軍官的戰術、作業、戰略與政策知識與技巧，而且最重要的是，還能提升這位軍官對這類衝突層面各式各樣相互關係的見解……這是一本所有海員、決策人士、特別是同時兼為海員與決策人士者必讀的好書。 ──《美國海軍研究所月刊》（Proceedings Magazine） 史塔萊迪對海權史瞭若指掌（他是福雷契法學院院長，在塔夫茨大學教外交），但同樣重要的是，他在海軍服役時駕艦航行海上，以及身為北約盟軍最高統帥的第一手經驗……他生動描述了身為海軍青年軍官，駕艦通過巴拿馬海峽，通過澳洲與新幾內亞之間的托雷斯海峽的感覺，他對全球海洋的整體觀念也因此增添了個人權威……這本書說明海洋過去與現在在人類文明扮演的角色，內容發人深省、文字淺顯易讀。 ──《科克斯書評》（Kirkus Reviews） 史塔萊迪在理論與個人經驗之間做了最佳平衡；他博覽叢書，對海軍史瞭若指掌，同時也以數十年光陰親歷這些歷史過程……《海權爭霸》以敏銳眼光觀察現代海洋的危險現實，但也不忘在全書每一篇章強調希望。而無論是危險還是希望，這本書提出令人信服的一個結論：在我們這個水世界，海洋仍是關鍵性的決勝戰場。 ──《基督教科學箴言報》（Christian Science Monitor） 美國海軍退役上將史塔萊迪，總括數十年作戰指揮官的經驗知識，讓我們了解海軍例行功能……這是一本激勵人心，讓人奮起的書……它及時提醒我們，海洋或許看起來溫馴──但那不過是表象罷了。 ──《發行人週刊》（Publishers Weekly）

This thoughtful examination of a century of travel writing about the American West overturns a variety of popular and academic stereotypes. Looking at both European and American travelers’ accounts of the West, from de Tocqueville’s Democracy in America to William Least Heat-Moon’s Blue Highways, David Wrobel offers a counter narrative to the nation’s romantic entanglement with its western past and suggests the importance of some long-overlooked authors, lively and perceptive witnesses to our history who deserve new attention. Prior to the professionalization of academic disciplines, the reading public gained much of its knowledge about the world from travel writing. Travel writers found a wide and respectful audience for their reports on history, geography, and the natural world, in addition to reporting on aboriginal cultures before the advent of anthropology as a discipline. Although in recent decades western historians have paid little attention to travel writing, Wrobel demonstrates that this genre in fact offers an important and rich understanding of the American West—one that extends and complicates a simple reading of the West that promotes the notions of Manifest Destiny or American exceptionalism. Wrobel finds counterpoints to the mythic West of the nineteenth century in such varied accounts as George Catlin’s Adventures of the Ojibbeway and Ioway Indians in England, France, and Belgium (1852), Richard Francis Burton’s The City of the Saints (1861), and Mark Twain’s Following the Equator (1897), reminders of the messy and contradictory world that people navigated in the past much as they do in the present. His book is a testament to the instructive ways in which the best travel writers have represented the West.

From one of the most admired admirals of his generation -- and the only admiral to serve as Supreme Allied Commander at NATO -- comes a remarkable voyage through all of the world’s most important bodies of water, providing the story of naval power as a driver of human history and a crucial element in our current geopolitical path. From the time of the Greeks and the Persians clashing in the Mediterranean, sea power has determined world power. To an extent that is often underappreciated, it still does. No one understands this better than Admiral Jim Stavridis. In Sea Power, Admiral Stavridis takes us with him on a tour of the world’s oceans from the admiral’s chair, showing us how the geography of the oceans has shaped the destiny of nations, and how naval power has in a real sense made the world we live in today, and will shape the world we live in tomorrow. Not least, Sea Power is marvelous naval history, giving us fresh insight into great naval engagements from the battles of Salamis and Lepanto through to Trafalgar, the Battle of the Atlantic, and submarine conflicts of the Cold War. It is also a keen-eyed reckoning with the likely sites of our next major naval conflicts, particularly the Arctic Ocean, Eastern Mediterranean, and the South China Sea. Finally, Sea Power steps back to take a holistic view of the plagues to our oceans that are best seen that way, from piracy to pollution. When most of us look at a globe, we focus on the shape of the of the seven continents. Admiral Stavridis sees the shapes of the seven seas. After reading Sea Power, you will too. Not since Alfred Thayer Mahan’s legendary The Influence of Sea Power upon History have we had such a powerful reckoning with this vital subject.
