Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The Divided Us is a penetrating look at why modern dating has become so fractured, transactional, and isolatiion. In an era dominated by swipes, likes, and endless profiles, genuine connection between men and women feels increasingly impossible. Social media and dating apps have amplified desire and rejection simultaneously, creating a culture where attention is commodified, empathy is scarce, and loneliness has become the default state for millions.Thomas Mead explores the mechanics behind these shifts, examining not only the tools we use to meet each other but the underlying sexual economics that govern modern attraction, dating, and relationships. The book confronts the growing epidemic of singlehood not as a passing trend, but as the inevitable result of a system where choice is infinite, commitment is optional, and cultural expectations clash with personal realities.Based on real conversations, The Divided Us gives voice to the unfiltered frustrations, fears, and confessions of men and women navigating the 2020s. Mead asked his friends and acquaintances direct, often uncomfortable questions about dating apps, hookup culture, social media influence, and the pressures that shape desire and rejection. Their perspectives reveal not just what has gone wrong between the sexes, but why so many have given up entirely on meaningful connection.Rather than pointing fingers, the book seeks clarity. It examines whether empathy, honesty, and understanding can still exist in a world where choice is overwhelming and intimacy is often transactional. The Divided Us offers both a diagnosis of the current crisis and a roadmap for how we might begin to rebuild relationships that are equitable, authentic, and emotionally sustainable-if we are willing to confront the truths we've been avoiding.

copper-engraved map, four sheets joined, approx. 104.5 x 98cm, [ 41" x 38.5"]., original outline colour; minute loss at few folds; with two detailed insets, one of the city of Boston and the other of Boston Harbour; with the large cartouche depicting the Pilgrims arriving at Plymouth Rock in 1630. A lovely example of this scarce map, some detail wear on the frame, beautifully matted and framed but, rare. Cumming. British Maps of Colonial America, pp45-47. McCorkle. New England in Early Printed Maps, 774-4. Stevens & Tree. Comparative Cartography, 33 (e). This is the fifth state of this work, which was first published in 1755 and updated periodically thereafter; this map was in Jefferys' posthumous (and notoriously scarce) American Atlas of 1775. Thomas Jefferys (1719-71) was a leading British cartographer and publisher; Braddock Mead c.1688-1757, a.k.a., John Green, was an Irishman who was imprisoned in Ireland on grounds of fraud, took on his alias when he was released, and moved to London. He became an extremely practiced and professional cartographer, and held his profession to the highest level. This map contains family names of real estate holders, as well as cartographic details of the New England states from the latitude of 44'30 in the north to Long Island Sound in the south, encompassing part of Maine, Rhode Island, what is now Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, northern Connecticut, and eastern New York from north of Crown Point through Lake George and down the Hudson River. One of the most important of North American maps, this version was published shortly before the Revolution.…
