The stunningly candid autobiography of one of cycling`s great names & the man who rode alongside Lance Armstrong for each of his now infamous seven Tour victories George Hincapie has always personified more than the sport in which he chose to compete, cycling, & his legacy will be more than the sum of his accomplishments on the road.

- were baffled by the film. The film`s production had been a disaster from nearly day one, hampered by bad weather, malfunctioning props & ill-fitting costumes. But its release on a quiet Wednesday in May of 1977, changed cinema forever. The film was Star Wars. The fiercely independent thirty-three year-old George Lucas was just getting going. Determined to control every element of the film-making process he had founded Lucasfilm ltd., in 1971. Among his hits, Lucas gave us six Star Wars films & four featuring the globetrotting archaeologist Indiana Jones.

From his teens until his death, the maps George Washington drew & purchased were always central to his work. After his death, many of the most important maps he had acquired were bound into an atlas. The atlas remained in his family for almost a century before it was sold & eventually ended up at Yale University's Sterling Memorial Library. Inspired by these remarkable maps, historian Barnet Schecter has crafted a unique portrait of our first Founding Father, placing the reader at the scenes of his early career as a surveyor, his dramatic exploits in the French & Indian War (his altercation with the French is credited as the war's spark), his struggles throughout the American Revolution as he outmaneuvered the far more powerful British army, his diplomacy as president, & his shaping of the new republic. Beautifully illustrated in color, with twenty-four of the full atlas maps, dozens more detail views from those maps, & numerous additional maps (some drawn by Washington himself), portraits, & other images-and produced in an elegant large format-George Washington's America allows readers to visualize history through Washington's eyes, & sheds fresh light on the man & his times. ...
