For centuries, bird guano has played a pivotal role in the agricultural and economic development of Latin America, East Asia, and Oceania. As their populations ballooned during the Industrial Revolution, North American and European powers came to depend on this unique resource as well, helping them meet their ever-increasing farming needs. This book explores how the production and commodification of guano has shaped the modern Pacific Basin and the world's relationship to the region. Marrying traditional methods of historical analysis with a broad interdisciplinary approach, Gregory T. Cushman casts this once little-known commodity as an engine of Western industrialization, offering new insight into uniquely modern developments such as environmental consciousness and conservation movements; the ascendance of science, technology, and expertise; international relations; and world war.

How did some of the most savage and desolate islands in the world, scattered across the Pacific and Caribbean, become U.S. territories? The Great Guano Rush describes the fascinating and little-known history of this earliest example of American overseas expansion."Guano" (bird droppings) was the 19th century's most important fertilizer and in 1856 Congress, believing that American farmers were being gouged on guano sales by foreign monopolists, authorized U.S. citizens to claim and exploit unowned guano-rich islands around the world. The legacy of this decision is a strange group of American "appurtenances," ranging from Haiti to the central Pacific and with a highly diverse subsequent history, from the notorious near-slavery on Navassa Island to the contemporary issue of the Johnston Atoll chemical weapon destruction plant.The Great Guano Rush is an important book for its insights on both 19th century America and the history of a key commodity. But it is also important in establishing that, contrary to the American free enterprise myth, the success of this country has always been based on a close cooperation between business and government.

Retelling the saga of Peru's nineteenth-century age of guano, Paul Gootenberg provides the first book in English to explore the historical genealogy of Latin America's postcolonial economic thought. He scrutinizes the mentalities, ideas, and visions that led the country down an ill-fated path of export liberalism. The surprising diversity, vitality, and subtlety of Peruvian economic thinking challenges images of Latin American liberalism as a borrowed, impoverished, and narrow conception of material progress.By closely weaving together intellectual and social history and a multitude of forgotten texts, as well as trends in elite and popular and European and national cultures, Gootenberg offers a newly integrated approach to the long-neglected field of Latin American economic ideas.

Before becoming known worldwide as the notorious penitentiary and, more recently, a famous tourist attraction, the little island of Alcatraz in the middle of San Francisco Bay was controlled by the U.S. Army for nearly 90 years. This barren, guano-covered island surrounded by treacherous currents was ideally located to serve its dual purposes as military defense post and prison. In FORTRESS ALCATRAZ, San Francisco historian John Arturo Martini explains the fascinating history of this landmark, from its discovery and seizure to its role during wartime; its tenure as a maximum security federal prison; and finally to its present-day status as part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area.A painstakingly researched history of Alcatraz by former national park ranger and noted Alcatraz historian John Arturo Martini.Lavishly illustrated with 150 diagrams and archival photographs, including rare 1869 photos by Eadweard Muybridge.Of the many books written on Alcatraz, this is the first to detail the island'¬?s nearly forgotten but fascinating military history.

English summary: Words are at best ineffectual in capturing a scent or odor. One might describe the scent of hawthorn as golden amber mixed with guano sifted in the sun, but these words can only by chance inspire their reader to imagining the real scent of the flower. Nevertheless, the present volume leads readers along a perfumed, floral path. French description: ""Jean de Bosschère unit à l'exaltation de l'amoureux la précision scientifique d'un fils de botaniste. Aussi loin qu'il descendit jadis dans l'obscurité tourmentée de son âme, il a pénétré dans les mystérieux replis des parfums, des formes et des cris."" Philippe Jacottet. ""Pensez-y bien, les sentiments drus, pressés, variés qui font naître mille souvenirs, se mélangent sans s'épouser. Tel et sans style le parfum parfois nous déborde après nous avoir jeté dans un trouble désordonné, indicible. Ici je dois rappeler que j'ai déploré déjà l'impuissance d'expression qui s'avère quand nous abordons l'impossibilité de dire un parfum. La grandeur de la poésie en suspens devant cette pénurie de moyens de reproduction ou de ce défaut de nos facultés d'assimilation. Je ne pense pas à cette poésie morte qui traduisait en paroles des sites ou des gestes. L'Aubépine, dira-t-on, approchée des narines, dégage une odeur de carabe doré, mêlée à de la poussière de guano remuée au soleil. Ceci est extrêmement fidèle et précis pour celui qui parle. Or, seules des contingences de hasard peuvent permettre à la deuxième personne d'imaginer, encore que sans précision, d'après ces quelques mots le parfum de l'Aubépine.""

Rhyming couplets feature Professor Poopdeck and two young friends as he takes them on a type of poop safari. Words for poop (e.g., guano, number two, ca-ca), its forms and styles (cubes, tubular, wet and dry), and myriad of uses (souvenirs, a means of tracking and marking, housing insulation, food, fertilizer, fuel, etc.) are all conveyed with humor and a certain demand for respect. It's a book that says: Don't just flush this stuff away! While it may dismay and stink, there's more to this than you might think!
