What is now Jackson's Hole was a way of life to the Native Americans who summered here and wintered in the lower and warmer regions to the east of Togwotee Pass. A summer in this secluded valley meant plenty of fish and other wildlife for food, skins for clothing and teepees, as well as a cool, well-watered environment.Snowmelt-fed streams bordered by vegetation supported many beaver and other fur-bearers that attracted men of European descent in their never-ending quest for commercial wealth. Mountain men and trappers considered the natural resources of the area as there to be taken for their own personal gain, By 1840 beaver became scarce and fell from fashion. The land that supported bison was thought good for domestic cattle, so ranchers settled in Jackson Hole from one end to the other. Dry years and the Great Depression forced many of them to sell out.Now millions of visitors come each year to recapture the thrill of wandering in a land still much as the Native Americans left it. This is a new wealth that depreciates little under protection as a National Park.An increasing number of people look for ways to identify themselves with those who led the way into this new land.

As with many of his French contemporaries, Alfred de Vigny (1797-1863) enjoyed the challenge of reworking William Shakespeare's classic plays for a modern audience.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Blending philosophy, theology, and wit, Chesterton defends Christianity not as a dry system but as a thrilling adventure. Orthodoxy traces his personal journey from doubt to belief, using paradox, humor, and vivid imagery to explore truth, imagination, and human nature. Both deeply personal and intellectually provocative, the book remains a landmark of Christian thought and literary style. The only possible excuse for this book is that it is an answer to a challenge. Even a bad shot is dignified when he accepts a duel. When some time ago I published a series of hasty but sincere papers, under the name of "Heretics," several critics for whose intellect I have a warm respect (I may mention specially Mr. G.S. Street) said that it was all very well for me to tell everybody to affirm his cosmic theory, but that I had carefully avoided supporting my precepts with example. "I will begin to worry about my philosophy," said Mr. Street, "when Mr. Chesterton has given us his." It was perhaps an incautious suggestion to make to a person only too ready to write books upon the feeblest provocation. But after all, though Mr. Street has inspired and created this book, he need not read it. If he does read it, he will find that in its pages I have attempted in a vague and personal way, in a set of mental pictures rather than in a series of deductions, to state the philosophy in which I have come to believe. I will not call it my philosophy; for I did not make it. God and humanity made it; and it made me. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Can the Roman Republic survive the price of loyalty and power?In The Tragedy of Julius Caesar, Shakespeare presents a gripping drama of loyalty, ambition, and political corruption in ancient Rome. As Brutus wrestles with his conscience and the fate of his country, Caesar's ascent sparks envy and fear, leading to a betrayal that alters the course of history. Through powerful soliloquies and intense conflict, this timeless tragedy explores the dangers of ambition and the complexities of honor, loyalty, and fate.

Rather, the play focuses on Marcus Brutus and his internal battle between friendship, patriotic duty, and honor.
