In Earning the Rockies, Kaplan undertakes his own cross-country journey to recapture an appreciation of American geography often lost in the jet age. Along the way, he witnesses both prosperity and decline--increasingly cosmopolitan cities that thrive on globalization, impoverished towns denuded by the loss of manufacturing--and paints a bracingly clear picture of America today. Kaplan lays bare the roots of American greatness--the fact that we are a nation, empire, and continent all at once--and how westward expansion shaped our national character, and should shape our foreign policy"--Provided by publisher.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 306.0973 Ka Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult Nonfiction 306.0973 Ka Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kalihi-Palama Public Library Adult Nonfiction 306.0973 Ka Checked In Add Copy to MyList
