Expedition Pointe is a college bar and grill located between two colleges. Its about three miles from Lewis College, a liberal arts institution that offers degrees in many areas, including premed. I graduated from Lewis College two years ago with a degree in premed, and now Im at Clark College, located about five miles on the other side of Expedition Pointe. Clark College is a medical school that is associated with Lewis College and the local medical center. Both colleges are located east of St. Louis and hidden among many thick-wooded areas in the little community of Kathleen, Missouri. People dont even realize the colleges are present if they are not a part of the collegiate environment. Both schools have famous alumni that include presidents, political figures, actors, and actresses, as well as authors, doctors, and such. I feel fortunate to be among their alumni.
Expeditionary journeys have shaped our world, but the expedition as a cultural form is rarely scrutinized. This book is the first major investigation of the conventions and social practices embedded in team-based exploration. In probing the politics of expedition making, this volume is itself a pioneering journey through the cultures of empire. With contributions from established and emerging scholars, Expedition into Empire plots the rise and transformation of expeditionary journeys from the eighteenth century until the present. Conceived as a series of spotlights on imperial travel and colonial expansion, it roves widely: from the metropolitan centers to the ends of the earth. This collection is both rigorous and accessible, containing lively case studies from writers long immersed in exploration, travel literature, and the dynamics of cross-cultural encounter.
