Hardcover. Zustand: Very good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very good. First Printing [Stated]. 466, [6] pages. Notes. Bibliography. Index. Publisher's ephemera laid in. Educated at Princeton, Trinity College, Dublin, and Columbia, Dippel combines solid, thorough research with a fluid, accessible style to bring to light the psychological, social, and economic factors which induce individuals to risk their lives for some greater, all-consuming goal. Of his reasons for choosing his topics, Dippel says, "I am intrigued by how people behave at critical historical moments, when their lives are really on the line. Too often, we make the mistake of superimposing our own values and outlooks on their decisions, rather than trying to understand them from their point of view. My books try to do just that." Dippel experienced the upheavals of the Sixties, when many assumptions about American society were called into question, and men of draft-age had to decide whether or not to take part in a war they felt violated their principles. In this engrossing exploration of men's motives for war, the author argues persuasively that one important subconscious reason young men volunteer for battle is to enhance their status as marriage partners for the women on the home front. Especially for men from low socioeconomic backgrounds becoming a soldier offers a sexual and reproductive edge over their civilian male peers. The author also examines the subtle influence that women's expanding power in society has on male attitudes regarding conflict. Drawing upon extensive literary as well as historical sources, he demonstrates how tensions over gender roles affect men's willingness to go to war, and how the experience of war, in turn, changes the relations between the sexes. Reviewing the social circumstances leading up to conflicts from the American Civil War through the Viet Nam War and the current clash between the West and Islamic fundamentalists, he shows that gender-based pressures play a significant, if often unconscious, role in tipping a society toward the decision of war. Thoroughly researched, yet engagingly and accessibly written, this unique discussion of men and women's roles in a society contemplating war offers much food for thought. Grace M.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This fascinating social history of polar expeditions examines the cultural trends that produced these daring, even reckless journeys.From the late-17th to the early 20th century, intrepid explorers from America and Europe risked (and sometimes lost) their lives exploring the forbidding, uncharted landscapes of the Arctic and Antarctica. What drove these men to undertake these seemingly impossible journeys In this deeply researched book, author John Dippel makes a convincing case that dozens of polar expeditions were motivated less by courageous idealism than personal ambition and national rivalries. The author traces the ways in which men of unbridled ambition responded to society's need for heroes by masking their true intentions behind patriotic sentiments or noble claims about advancing science. In so doing they frequently put their own lives and those of the men in their command at enormous risk. At the same time, they projected an attitude of cultural superiority, looking down on indigenous arctic people. Their disrespect and ignorance of native means of transportation, diet, shelter, and knowledge of the terrain often led explorers into disaster, where men perished from starvation and exposure or nearly lost their minds. In the end, the failure of so many polar expeditions exposed the limits of humanity's control of nature and helped to undermine faith in inevitable progress. Readers who have heard of the incredible exploits of such famous explorers as Robert F. Scott, Roald Amundsen, James Cook, and Robert Peary will find in this book an intriguing explanation for what impelled these men to endure unimaginable cold, near-starvation, and years of isolation at the ends of the earth.…
