Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Available in paperback October 2008! The Southern Pacific of Mexico was a U.S.Ðowned railroad that operated between 1898 and 1951, running from the Sonoran town of Nogales, just across the border from Arizona, to the city of Guadalajara, stopping at several northwestern cities and port towns along the way. Owned by the Southern Pacific Company, which operated a highly profitable railroad system north of the border, the SP de Mex transported millions of passengers as well as millions of tons of freight over the years, both within Mexico and across its northern border. However, as Daniel Lewis discloses in this thoroughly researched investigation of the railroad, it rarely turned a profit. So why, Lewis wonders, did a savvy, money-minded U.S. corporation continue to operate the railroad until it was nationalized by the Mexican government more than a half-century after it was constructed? Iron Horse Imperialism reveals that the relationship between the Mexican government and the Southern Pacific Company was a complex one, complicated by MexicoÕs defeat by U.S. forces in the mid-nineteenth century and by SPÕs failure to understand that it was conducting business in a country whose leaders were ambivalent about its presence. Lewis contends that SP executives, urged on by the media of the day, operated with a reflexive imperialism that kept the company committed to the railroad long after it ceased to make business sense. Incorporating information discovered in both Mexican and American archives, some of which was previously unavailable to researchers, this comprehensive book deftly describes the complicated, decades-long dance between oblivious U.S. entrepreneurs and wary Mexican officials. It is a fascinating story.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A former Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway CEO tells the behind-the-scenes story of the transformation and resurgence of America’s ailing railroads. When Robert D. Krebs joined the ranks of Southern Pacific Railroad in 1966, the industry had been in decline for decades, and the future of trains was in peril. Despite these obstacles, Krebs fell in love with the rugged, competitive business of railroads and was determined to overcome its resistance to change and put rail transportation back on track. By the age of forty, Krebs was president of the Southern Pacific Railroad and had also served as chief executive of both the Santa Fe Railway and Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway companies. Riding the Rails: Inside the Business of America’s Railroads details Krebs’s rise to a position of influence in the recovery of America’s railroads—and offers a unique insider’s view into the boardrooms where executives and businessmen reimagined transportation in the United States.

Download or read book Pollywog and Shellback Tales of the South Pacific written by John H. Gamble and published by Wheatmark, Inc.. This book was released on 2011 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Learn about little-known combat ventures aboard a U.S. Navy vessel during World War II from the eyewitness accounts of Navy veteran John Gamble. Pollywog and Shellback Tales of the South Pacific describes life as a World War II sailor in the Pacific theater. Gamble throws us onboard his ship the same way he was thrown -- at breakneck speed. Leaving high school friends behind, Gamble joins the U.S. Navy and is trained as a radioman in the new technology of radar. He learns the basics of Navy life, forms friendships along the way, and helps to make his ship what the admirals need it to be -- a fighting machine to defeat the enemy and bring peace back to the Pacific.While Pollywog and Shellback Tales of the South Pacific is not a complete summary of Gamble's wartime experiences, the stories give an astounding look at what it was like to be a sailor on a Navy ship during the battles of the Pacific. Glimpse the individual perspective of combat at sea and imagine one man's commitment to his country no matter the cost.John Gamble, Sr., was born and raised in the Atlantic coast region of what is now part of New York City. Many years after returning from naval combat in the Pacific, he was one of relatively few workers fortunate enough to have worked on the lunar landing module; this was destined to make the first moon landing. He could see the whole world opening up and felt caught in the upheaval as his generation came into being. He witnessed Einstein's theories become reality as the atom was split and the scientific wonder gave birth to a horrific nuclear arms race. He witnessed what were then the world's two tallest buildings being erected and witnessed their demise. Mindful of Nostradamus's papers, he grew fascinated as the changes in technology brought new dimensions to his thinking. According to Gamble, there are many bittersweet moments in life. We must choose to have hope and be among those who desire to see a hopeful future.

Download or read book Representing the South Pacific written by Rod Edmond and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1997-11-20 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines how the South Pacific was represented by explorers, missionaries, travellers, writers, and artists between 1767 and 1914 by drawing on history, literature, art history, and anthropology. Edmond engages with colonial texts and postcolonial theory, criticising both for their failure to acknowledge the historical specificity of colonial discourses and cultural encounters, and for continuing to see indigenous cultures in essentially passive or reactive terms. The book offers a detailed and grounded 'reading back' of these colonial discourses into the metropolitan centres which gave rise to them, while resisting the idea that all representations of other cultures are merely self-representations. Among its themes are the persistent myth-making around the figure of Cook, the western obsession with Polynesian sexuality, tattooing, cannibalism, and leprosy, and the Pacific as a theatre for adventure and as a setting for Europe's displaced fears of its own cultural extinction.
