In the late nineteenth century, at a time when Americans were becoming more removed from nature than ever before, U.S. soldiers were uniquely positioned to understand and construct nature’s ongoing significance for their work and for the nation as a whole. American ideas and debates about nature evolved alongside discussions about the meaning of frontiers, about what kind of empire the United States should have, and about what it meant to be modern or to make “progress.” Soldiers stationed in the field were at the center of these debates, and military action in the expanding empire brought new environments into play.
In Taking the Field Amy Kohout draws on the experiences of U.S. soldiers in both the Indian Wars and the Philippine-American War to explore the interconnected ideas about nature and empire circulating at the time. By tracking the variety of ways American soldiers interacted with the natural world, Kohout argues that soldiers, through their words and their work, shaped Progressive Era ideas about both American and Philippine environments. Studying soldiers on multiple frontiers allows Kohout to inject a transnational perspective into the environmental history of the Progressive Era, and an environmental perspective into the period’s transnational history. Kohout shows us how soldiers—through their writing, their labor, and all that they collected—played a critical role in shaping American ideas about both nature and empire, ideas that persist to the present.
Описание: "I can teach anybody anything, except I can't teach anyone to give a f.ck." - Unknown Restaurant Manager.Popular wisdom states that everyone should wait tables at some point in their lives. This is bullsh*t. If people use something with regularity, (be it gun, car, or blender), they should understand how it works. But, no, not everyone should be a server. Bad servers make it harder for everyone else. If you want to work in a restaurant waiting tables, there are some basic strategies and skills you should be aware of. "Be a Better F.cking Waiter" is a simple guide to the basics. This book, like the job, is not for everyone. Also (like most restaurants), it's full of bad words, adult situations, drug use, and science.
