The Union blockade in the American Civil War was a naval strategy by the United States to prevent the Confederacy from trading.

The blockade was proclaimed by President Abraham Lincoln in April 1861, and required the monitoring of 3,500 miles of Atlantic and Gulf coastline, including 12 major ports, notably New Orleans and Mobile. Those blockade runners fast enough to evade the Union Navy could only carry a small fraction of the supplies needed. They were operated largely by British citizens, making use of neutral ports such as Havana, Nassau and Bermuda. The Union commissioned around 500 ships, which destroyed or captured about 1,500 blockade runners over the course of the war.

Which area of Texas would most likely have weathering due to Ice Wedging.

Delvig [45]

Gulf Coast is the place that will be affected by Ice Wedging.

Explanation:

Gulf coast faces an important issue that will undermine its status as the oil conglomerate in the US.

This is due to the ice welding further up north that has been responsible for global warming, greenhouse effect and ultimately rising sea levels that is a very real issue that pertains to Texas.

Most of the coastline has rich oil resources and is responsible for most of the trade and it stands a chance of being submerged any time now.

This would mean a drastic fall of economy and displacement of the people.

What does james gleick mean when he talks about "the gloom that has fallen over the book-publishing industry"?

kari74 [83]

In his 2008 article for the New York Times, James Gleick talks about "the gloom that has fallen over the book-publishing industry" to describe the the negative impact of digitalizing books in the book-publishing industry.

In this article he describes the already decline in paper-books sales due to the rise of digital platforms such as Kindle, epub, etc, and how the future of book-publishers looked grimer because of an agreement between authors, publishers and Google to allow the scanning and digitalizing of books to make them accesible in website and digital platforms.

This agreement would be dramatic for the sectors of the book-publishing industry dealing with marketing, archiving and distributing physical paper books.
