Book Description
Written, compiled, and edited by Thomas A. O'Connell in 2003. Mr. O'Connell has unearthed the lives and achievements of our hidden treasures - some of our most talented predecessors - in Westerly's Gold. Our own Admiral Dunn appears, not just as a famous inventor, but as one of our neighbors. We see Westerly's Elizabeth Fitz Pendleton, who became the president of prestigious Wellesley College. We meet Westerly's first high school principal, Osceola Holcomb Kile. We learn about some of our other institutions, such as the original armory, the origins of the police department, and Town budget machinations during the Depression. We find that change is less than it seems over the past one hundred years.

The Frigid Golden Age
Author: Dagomar Degroot
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1108317588
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 387
Book Description
Dagomar Degroot offers the first detailed analysis of how a society thrived amid the Little Ice Age, a period of climatic cooling that reached its chilliest point between the sixteenth and eighteenth centuries. The precocious economy, unusual environment, and dynamic intellectual culture of the Dutch Republic in its seventeenth-century Golden Age allowed it to thrive as neighboring societies unraveled in the face of extremes in temperature and precipitation. By tracing the occasionally counterintuitive manifestations of climate change from global to local scales, Degroot finds that the Little Ice Age presented not only challenges for Dutch citizens but also opportunities that they aggressively exploited in conducting commerce, waging war, and creating culture. The overall success of their Republic in coping with climate change offers lessons that we would be wise to heed today, as we confront the growing crisis of global warming.
