Synopsis
An illuminating history of North America's eleven rival cultural regions that explodes the red state-blue state myth. North America was settled by people with distinct religious, political, and ethnographic characteristics, creating regional cultures that have been at odds with one another ever since. Subsequent immigrants didn't confront or assimilate into an "American" or "Canadian" culture, but rather into one of the eleven distinct regional ones that spread over the continent each staking out mutually exclusive territory. In American Nations, Colin Woodard leads us on a journey through the history of our fractured continent, and the rivalries and alliances between its component nations, which conform to neither state nor international boundaries. He illustrates and explains why "American" values vary sharply from one region to another. Woodard reveals how intranational differences have played a pivotal role at every point in the continent's history, from the American Revolution and the Civil War to the tumultuous sixties and the "blue county/red county" maps of recent presidential elections. American Nations is a revolutionary and revelatory take on America's myriad identities and how the conflicts between them have shaped our past and are molding our future.

- e***e (363)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzter MonatBestätigter KaufAfter a brief delay in communication, the items did arrive, perfectly wrapped and in great condition. Seller apologized for the delay and again the books arrived beautifully packaged and quickly once shipped.
- e***e (10)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzte 6 MonateBestätigter KaufShipping a Britannica set coast to coast is not easy, but the seller did an excellent job. First, the books were carefully cleaned. Then, they were wrapped in plastic in pairs, then wrapped again into cubes. They were then surrounded by several layers of heavy foam sheets, and placed in stout cardboard boxes. The post office tried their darndest to destroy one of the three boxes, but all of the books arrived in perfect condition. I definitely recommend booksforbrainsllc. Thank you!Encyclopaedia Britannica by Encyclopedia Britannica (2007, Hardcover, Reissue) (Nr. 146333120454)
- b***0 (600)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzte 6 MonateBestätigter KaufOrdered book on 4/30 contacted seller 3 days later to confirm shipping & again 2 days later. No response. Filed claim with eBay for refund, seller finally shipped book one day before eBay intervention. Almost 3 weeks to get book. Never bothered to contact me to explain, apologize, nothing. Not only a violation of eBay policy, but really unprofessional & inconsiderate. eBay really needs to start policing sellers like this. Will not buy from this seller again!Fredericksburg!
