Few of these missions were successful, and many men lost their lives en route. Yet failure did little to dampen the enthusiasm of new explorers or the crowds at home that cheered them on. Arctic exploration, Michael F. Robinson argues, was an activity that unfolded in America as much as it did in the wintry hinterland. Paying particular attention to the perils facing explorers at home, The Coldest Crucible examines their struggles to build support for the expeditions before departure, defend their claims upon their return, and cast themselves as men worthy of the nation's full attention. In so doing, this book paints a new portrait of polar voyagers, one that removes them from the icy backdrop of the Arctic and sets them within the tempests of American cultural life. With chronological chapters featuring emblematic Arctic explorers-including Elisha Kent Kane, Charles Hall, and Robert Peary-The Coldest Crucible reveals why the North Pole, a region so geographically removed from Americans, became an iconic destination for discovery. 606 $aExplorers$zUnited States$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aScientists$zUnited States$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aScience$zUnited States$xHistory$y19th century 607 $aArctic regions$xDiscovery and exploration$xAmerican 610 $aarctic, exploration, expeditions, asia, north pole, sea route, discovery, adventure, science, peril, funding, evidence, proof, research, polar voyagers, heroism, nonfiction, biography, masculinity, danger, explorers, robert peary, charles hall, elisha kent kane, frederick cook, manliness, ambition, technology, failure, death, patronage, scientific authority, nationalism, mass media, geography. 615 0$aExplorers$xHistory 615 0$aScientists$xHistory 615 0$aScience$xHistory 676 $a910/.9163/2 686 $aRY 30026$2rvk 700 $aRobinson$b Michael F$g(Michael Frederick),$f1966-$037662 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910785327903321 996 $aThe coldest crucible$93689800 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04698nam 2201057 a 450 001 996248079903316 005 20240514053133.0 010 $a1-283-37357-2 010 $a9786613373571 010 $a0-520-92131-3 010 $a0-585-05442-8 024 7 $a10.1525/9780520921313 035 $a(CKB)111004366721802 035 $a(EBL)799259 035 $a(OCoLC)42922426 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000236035 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11197561 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000236035 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10165278 035 $a(PQKB)10286476 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC799259 035 $a(DE-B1597)519042 035 $a(DE-B1597)9780520921313 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL799259 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10521964 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL337357 035 $a(dli)HEB31038 035 $a(MiU)MIU01000000000000012335680 035 $a(PPN)220990336 035 $a(EXLCZ)99111004366721802 100 $a19970701d1998 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcn||||||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aReOrient $eglobal economy in the Asian Age /$fAndre Gunder Frank 205 $a1st ed. 210 $aBerkeley $cUniversity of California Press$dc1998 215 $a1 online resource (416 p.) 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 0 $a0-520-21129-4 311 0 $a0-520-21474-9 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references (p. 361-387) and index. 327 $tFront matter --$tContents --$tPreface --$t1.

In a bold challenge to received historiography and social theory he turns on its head the world according to Marx, Weber, and other theorists, including Polanyi, Rostow, Braudel, and Wallerstein. Frank explains the Rise of the West in world economic and demographic terms that relate it in a single historical sweep to the decline of the East around 1800. European states, he says, used the silver extracted from the American colonies to buy entry into an expanding Asian market that already flourished in the global economy. Resorting to import substitution and export promotion in the world market, they became Newly Industrializing Economies and tipped the global economic balance to the West. That is precisely what East Asia is doing today, Frank points out, to recover its traditional dominance. As a result, the "center" of the world economy is once again moving to the "Middle Kingdom" of China. Anyone interested in Asia, in world systems and world economic and social history, in international relations, and in comparative area studies, will have to take into account Frank's exciting reassessment of our global economic past and future. 606 $aInternational economic relations$xHistory 606 $aCapitalism$xHistory 606 $aCompetition, International$xHistory 606 $aEconomic history 610 $aacademic. 610 $aamerican colonies. 610 $aasia. 610 $aasian history. 610 $acolonialism. 610 $ademographics. 610 $aeast asia. 610 $aeastern world. 610 $aeconomy. 610 $aeurocentrism. 610 $aglobal economy. 610 $aglobal. 610 $ahistoriography. 610 $ahistory. 610 $aindustrial world. 610 $aindustrialization. 610 $ainternational relations. 610 $amarx. 610 $amarxism. 610 $aphilosophy. 610 $ascholarly. 610 $asocial history. 610 $asocial theory. 610 $atheorists. 610 $aweber. 610 $awestern world. 610 $aworld economy. 610 $aworld market. 615 0$aInternational economic relations$xHistory. 615 0$aCapitalism$xHistory. 615 0$aCompetition, International$xHistory. 615 0$aEconomic history. 676 $a337 700 $aFrank$b Andre Gunder$f1929-2005.$0119669 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996248079903316 996 $aReorient$9750258 997 $aUNISA
