Bowling has a long history and is full of comprehensive rules; it is an indoor activity and it is one of the most popular sports in the world. Whether it's a birthday party or a date, it is easy to say that more than 50% of Americans used to drill in their lives. However, many people often do not know the interesting history of the game. Strangely, one of the latest professional sports, bowling is one of the oldest.
This should be the type of my book: a serious history written for ordinary readers. This book provides statistics on statistics, anecdotes, political history, history of trade unions, history of sand storms, discusses the depression project letter soup and the collapse of 1929. Somehow, none of this is a focus. There is no clear description. For example, after discussing the reasons for the Great Depression, and after taking us at the end of the 1930's - we do not know that the agricultural economy was sluggish until about 340 pages through the 1920s It was.
The climate event in the American history was a drought of "sandstorm" that destroyed the state in the middle of America, Highplains. In the 1930s, the dust bowl nearly exhausted the already depressed US economy, resulting in losses of several million dollars. The plains of the United States are semi-arid areas or grasslands. The next most desert climate has a semi-arid climate less than 20 inches (510 mm) per year, exposing the drought to serious weather risks. More importantly, the plains are arranged. Strong wind then produces a sandstorm
Dust bowl is a masterpiece that can not be denied in environmental history. In 1979, the integration of ecology and social history by Donald Worster became the forerunner of emerging fields of this book. As a reference ("One of the worst in history ... an ecological mistake" on page 4), the dust cup can be read like a necessary warning story from a wise elder. But despite its comprehensive analysis, vivid images, and academic importance, Dust Bowl often diverts attention (from decisive environmentalists you will come across this comment Please note that it will come). This shows that the introduction text of this book comes from Karl Marx. Worster believes capitalism at the turn of the century (and in many ways still) conflicts with the most obvious catastrophe in the natural boundary of ecology, the "Great American Desert" in the 20th century (page 81).
