Great Britain and the American Civil War
"Great Britain and the American Civil War Vol 1 and 2" is an exhaustive and authoritative examination of the diplomatic tensions and geopolitical maneuvers between the United Kingdom and the United States during the mid-19th century. Written by Ephraim Douglas Adams, this seminal work explores the intricate relationship between the two nations as they navigated the complexities of neutrality, economic impact, and political sympathies during the American struggle. The volumes delve into key incidents such as the "Trent" Affair, the construction of Confederate commerce raiders in British shipyards, and the high-stakes diplomacy surrounding the potential recognition of the Confederacy. Adams meticulously analyzes the shifting tides of British public opinion, from the aristocratic support for the South to the working-class solidarity with the North's anti-slavery cause. By utilizing extensive archival research, the author provides a comprehensive look at how the British government, led by figures like Lord Palmerston and Earl Russell, managed the delicate balance of international law and national interest. This work remains a cornerstone for understanding the international dimension of the American Civil War and the evolution of Anglo-American relations, offering deep insights into the 19th-century global political landscape.

The Power of Ideals in American History
"The Power of Ideals in American History" is an insightful exploration of the intellectual and spiritual forces that have shaped the United States. Written by historian Ephraim Douglass Adams, this work examines the profound influence of core American ideals on the nation's development and character. Adams argues that history is not merely a record of material progress or economic shifts, but a narrative driven by the aspirations and moral convictions of its people. The book delves into key concepts such as nationality, democracy, manifest destiny, and the pursuit of social justice, providing a historical perspective on how these principles have motivated American policy and public sentiment. By analyzing pivotal moments in the American past, Adams demonstrates how ideals have served as both a compass and a catalyst for national evolution. "The Power of Ideals in American History" remains a significant contribution to the study of American intellectual history, offering readers a deep understanding of the ideological foundations that continue to define the American identity. It is a compelling read for those interested in the philosophical underpinnings of democracy and the enduring power of thought in shaping a nation's destiny.

L' ultima occasione. Alla ricerca di specie animali in via d'estinzione
Un classico contemporaneo della divulgazione scientifica. L'estinzione di piante e animali ha seguito il suo corso per milioni di anni, al ritmo di una specie ogni secolo. La maggior parte, però, si è estinta negli ultimi cinquant'anni, mille specie all'anno. Presto potrebbe essere l''ultima occasione' per scongiurare la scomparsa di piante e animali sempre più rari, o anche, semplicemente, per osservarli. Questo libro è il diario di un viaggio intorno al mondo alla ricerca di creature minacciate; un libro geniale, profondo e struggente, spesso esilarante ma venato di tristezza per la superficialità, la stupidità e la cupidigia con cui gli uomini guardano alla natura.

Praticamente innocuo
Ormai la Terra è stata demolita dai Vogons per fare posto a una nuova circonvallazione iperspaziale: era stato scritto nei primi quattro capitoli della saga iniziata con la "Guida galattica per gli autostoppisti", unica "trilogia in cinque parti" della storia della letteratura. Ma le geniali e pazzesche avventure del terrestre Arthur Dent e del suo amico alieno Ford Prefect non sono ancora finite. L'irriverente e demenziale umorismo di Douglas Adams non si ferma, ed ecco allora il quinto capitolo degli esuli delle galassie.

Addio, e grazie per tutto il pesce
"La vita, l'Universo e tutto quanto", il terzo volume della saga "Guida galattica per gli autostoppisti", si concludeva con il protagonista, Arthur Dent, in possesso del prezioso Messaggio Finale di Dio alle Sue Creature. Ma, avendolo sbadatamente dimenticato, Arthur ricorre a ogni espediente per cercare di ricordarselo. Tutto si rivela inutile: il Messaggio è proprio dimenticato. "Addio, e grazie per tutto il pesce", quarto episodio dell'epopea, ci riserva la sorpresa di un'inaspettata ricomparsa. Infatti, dopo Otto anni di folle girovagare per lo spazio, Arthur e i suoi compagni tornano sulla Terra, decisi a trovare, oltre al messaggio divino, la risposta a due altri quesiti di primaria importanza...
