Here for the first time in a single, convenient volume are the best known works of Henry Adams, one of the most powerful and original minds to confront the American scene from the Civil War to the First World War. With urbanity, wit, and an unblinking eye Adams whose temperament and ideals were shaped by the legacy of his presidential ancestors, faced unsettling changes in American life and values - including the prospect of wringing infinite energy from nature.
