Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. 1st Edition. A major biography of "the Thomas Edison of guns," John Moses Browning, brings to life a visionary inventor whose astonishing array of firearms has shaped American culture and armed the world's militaries for more than a century. Few people are aware that Browning--a tall modest, cerebral man born in 1855 and raised as a Mormon--invented the modern pistol along with hunting rifles and shotguns still sold today. He designed machine guns for World War I that proved decisive in World War II and played a major role in winning the Battle of Britain. Incredibly, his weapons are still relied on by American troops in the twenty-first century. Embodying the tradition of self-made, self-educated American geniuses, Browning possessed a remarkable gift for thinking in three dimensions. He never used blueprints. While competitors struggled to create one or two successful firearms, Browning became the unheralded genius behind arms makers Winchester and Colt. Largely unknown in America until the last decade of his life, he was already a household name in Europe. Browning's life story is the history of modern firearms, for good and ill. Sweeping, lively, and brilliantly told, this fascinating book introduces a little-known American legend whose impact on history ranks with that of the Wright brothers, Henry Ford, and other pioneers of innovation.

Book
Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. 436 pages. Hardcover with a dust jacket. A sweeping, definitive biography of Sam Colt--the inventor of the legendary Colt revolver. In 1831 somewhere in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean on a return voyage from Calcutta, a sixteen-year-old boy from Connecticut named Sam Colt was struck by an extraordinary idea. He pulled out a knife and whittled a scrap of wood to create a model of what he had in mind. When he was done, the object in his hand resembled a small wooden pistol, but it was such a pistol as nobody had seen before. Colt had just solved one of the great technological challenges of the early nineteenth century: how to make a gun loaded with multiple bullets that could be fired in a matter of seconds. Colt would become the first to make repeating firearms a practical possibility, and American history would never be the same. Colt's "six-shooters" would change the settlement of the West, accompany gold rushers to California in 1849, be the terrible agent of the destruction of Native Americans, be shipped to armies around the world, and help establish the gun culture that lives on in America today. How Colt went from a precocious boy to the galvanic man who made guns is the story of Jim Rasenberger's epic, entertaining book. Brilliantly told, Revolver brings the brazenly ambitious, profoundly innovative industrialist to life. In the span of his forty-seven years, he seemingly lived multiple lives: he traveled, womanized, drank prodigiously, smuggled guns to Russia, bribed politicians, blew up ships in New York Harbor (with electricity), and supplied the Union Army with the weapons needed to win the Civil War. By the time he died in 1862, he was one of the richest and most famous men in the nation. This riveting biography makes for a lively portrait of nineteenth-century America during a time of extraordinary transformation. An outstanding new book.

Mi-ja and Young-sook, two girls living on the Korean island of Jeju, are best friends that come from very different backgrounds. When they are old enough, they begin working in the sea with their village's all-female diving collective, led by Young-sook's mother. As the girls take up their positions as baby divers, they know they are beginning a life of excitement and responsibility but also danger. Despite their love for each other, Mi-ja and Young-sook's differences are impossible to ignore. The Island of Sea Women is an epoch set over many decades, beginning during a period of Japanese colonialism in the 1930s and 1940s, followed by World War II, the Korean War and its aftermath, through the era of cell phones and wet suits for the women divers. Throughout this time, the residents of Jeju find themselves caught between warring empires. Mi-ja is the daughter of a Japanese collaborator, and she will forever be marked by this association. Young-sook was born into a long line of haenyeo and will inherit her mother's position leading the divers in their village. Little do the two friends know that after surviving hundreds of dives and developing the closest of bonds, forces outside their control will push their friendship to the breaking point. This beautiful, thoughtful novel illuminates a world turned upside down, one where the women are in charge, engaging in dangerous physical work, and the men take care of the children.
