Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - The making of the King James Bible is a fascinating story - this account describes how suitable scholars were found and given a shared purpose; to meticulously translate and render the entire Bible into early modern English.Early English translations of the Bible dating to the Renaissance fell into disfavor, being associated with Protestant groups then-thought heretical. Later versions of an English Bible by William Tyndale, and the so-called Geneva Bible, were recognized for their efforts but found to be flawed, with inaccurate or faulty interpretations. Prior to King James' ascent to the throne, the need for an authoritative English language Bible was apparent - to do the job well, in 1604 James ordered that 54 great scholars of the age work together on the task. Of these, 47 were finally approved to begin the challenge.The painstaking process took years, with the scholars divided into separate committees, all of whom would finish their parts and submit them for rigorous review. Finally, in 1611, after years of translation, editing, drafting, discussion and debate between the men given the task - the King James' Bible was printed.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - 'The Yankee of the Yards' offers an in-depth exploration of the life and career of Gustavus Franklin Swift, the pioneering force behind the modernization of the American meatpacking industry. This work details the remarkable trajectory of a man who rose from a small-town butcher to become one of the most influential industrial titans of the Gilded Age. Central to the narrative is Swift's revolutionary development of the refrigerated railroad car, an innovation that fundamentally changed how food was processed, transported, and consumed across the nation.The book provides a vivid portrayal of the Chicago Union Stock Yards and the intense competitive landscape of 19th-century American business. It highlights Swift's commitment to efficiency and his role in building a global empire that redefined the scale of industrial production. By documenting the strategic decisions and personal drive that fueled Swift & Company, 'The Yankee of the Yards' serves as both a compelling business biography and a historical account of the birth of the modern food supply chain. It is a vital resource for readers interested in entrepreneurship, industrial history, and the economic transformation of the United States.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
