À propos de ce produit
Product Information
In 1927, Henry Ford, the founder of the famous motor company and the richest man in the world, bought a 5,000 square-mile tract of land in the Brazilian Amazon. There he was going to build a rubber plantation. To the unkempt rainforest he would bring the principles of mass production: order, efficiency and productivity. He would harness the river itself in order to transplant capitalist civilisation to the dark heart of the jungle. But Ford wanted more than just rubber. Across the United States, small-town America was giving way to growing cities, consumerism and crass, brash new society. Ford wanted to create in the Amazon an America in his own image: Fordlandia, full of neat houses, straight roads and restrained Puritanism. By 1945 it was abandoned in ruins. Fordlandia is the powerful, never-before-told fable of the pride and arrogance of the man who thought he alone could tame the Amazon. Filled with clash and contradiction, it is the battle between industrialised capitalism and the raw power of nature; it is the struggle too within Ford himself, the man who despised the new America that he himself had set in motion, who spent twenty years and several fortunes on his Amazonian dream, yet never set foot inside it. Superbly researched and grippingly told, Greg Grandin portrays a man suffering the grand delusion that the forces of capitalism, once released, might then be contained. Selected as one of the 100 Notable Books of 2009 by the New York Times. 'Fascinating.haunting.Conrad's Heart of Darkness resonates on every page.' New York Times 'A genuinely readable history recounted with a novelist's sense of pace and an eye for character.engrossingly enjoyable.' Los Angeles Times 'Magic happens when a gifted historian and master storyteller finds a treasure trove of untapped materials to exploit. And Greg Grandin's book on Fordlandia is simply magical.' David Nasaw, author of Andrew Carnegie

great book, great seller does things at his best, such as sells it very cheap around £3.20 free postages, he listened and responded to all my messages then day later he dispatched item well in good condition to avoid item being torn up or damaged in any form of way. Wrapped well with cello tape inside the envelope, the best with royal mail delivery service.

Used book at a very cheap price was bought with another in a discount deal. They arrived quickly, wrapped in plastic. Unfortunately one. "The Bride of Science" was defaced with a scribbled ink dedication not in the description. On informing the seller, they immediately apologised and issued a full refund. While one book was disappointing, the customer communication and care was EXCELLENT!
