Piero Scaruffi
A History of Rock Music, 1951-2000

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionThis history of rock music is not a history of the charts (which I consider an aberration), but a history of the great ideas introduced by rock musicians over 50 years of relentless innovation, and the history of their greatest albums (regardless of how many copies were sold). It ends up being more focused on A?alternativeA? rock than on A?mainstreamA? rock, simply because alternative musicians tend to be more innovative and sincere than mainstreammusicians. In a sense, rediscovering A?alternativeA? rock and giving it its dues is also a way to restore the reputation of rock music among the more sophisticated audiences. Today, rock music is a genre that employs sampling techniques, electronic instruments, digital/computer technology, cacophony, and ethnic sources. The roots of todayA?s rock music lie in the technical innovations brought about in the first half of the 20th century…. [detailed...]

Avril Pyman
A History of Russian Symbolism

2006 y.
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
Description: This book is the first detailed history of the Russian Symbolist movement, from its initial hostile reception as a symptom of European decadence to its absorption into the mainstream of Russian literature, and eventual disintegration. It focuses on the two generations of writers whose work served as the seedbed of Existentialism in thought and of Modernism in prose and the performing arts, and reassesses their achievements in the light of modern research. Because the Symbolists philosophy aspired to art, their poetry to music, painting to poetry and theatre to liturgy, this study pays proper attention to developments in art, theatre, thought and religion. It also considers the historical background of revolutionary hope and foreboding, and the patronage of the fading court and the rising capitalist class. At the centre of the study are the Symbolists` literary works. Prose is quoted in English translation and poetry given in the original Russian with prose translations. There is a… [detailed...]

Bill Smith, Selina Skipwith
A History of Scottish Art

2003 y.
Publisher: Merrell
Description: This book, illustrating two hundred paintings from The Fleming Collection, has been published to celebrate the establishment of The Fleming-Wyfold Art Foundation. It reveals the range and diversity of The Fleming Collection, amassed over thirty-five years, first by Flemings, the international investment bank, and then over the past two years or so by the Foundation, a charitable trust, which took over the collection when the bank was sold to Chase Manhattan in 2000. There is now a much greater knowledge and appreciation of Scottish art in Britain and beyond than was the case in 1968, when the collection was started. At Flemings we liked to think that we had helped in a small way to achieve something that was long overdue. Certainly, it was an enjoyable and exciting experience for us. Формат: 26 см x 29,5 см.

Mansel G. Blackford
A History of Small Business in America

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: From the colonial era to the present day, small businesses have been an integral part of American life. First published in 1991 and now thoroughly revised and updated, A History of Small Business in America explores the central but ever-changing role played by small enterprises in the nation`s economic, political, and cultural development. Examining small businesses in manufacturing, sales, services, and farming, Mansel Blackford argues that while small firms have always been important to the nation`s development, their significance has varied considerably in different time periods and in different segments of our economy. Throughout, he relates small business development to changes in America`s overall business and economic systems and offers comparisons between the growth of small business in the United States to its development in other countries. He places special emphasis on the importance of small business development for women and minorities. Unique in its breadth,… [detailed...]

Simon Barton
A History of Spain

2004 y.
Publisher: Palgrave Macmillan
Description: `Spain is different` was for a long time the explanation proffered by historians seeking to explain the course of the nation`s exceptionally rich and varied history. Spain was the only region in the medieval West (along with Sicily) to experience Islamic conquest, the first nation to lay claim to a global empire and the first to lose it, and the country in which the extreme forces of the Left and the Right were to act out one of the bloodiest confrontations Europe has known. Some argued that it was because Spain`s `historical destiny` was seemingly so far out of step with that of its neighbours that the country failed to keep up, politically, socially and economically, with the rest of Western Europe. Today, however, as Spain has become firmly integrated into the political and economic structures of the European Union, the long-held notion that the country is a nation apart no longer seems valid. Simon Barton probes the extent to which Spain should be regarded as an exceptional case… [detailed...]

A History of Tennessee Arts: Creating Traditions, Expanding Horizons

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionThe harmonies of the Fisk Jubilee Singers, the measured brush strokes of painter Lloyd Branson, the intricate basket weaving of Maggie Murphy, the influence of the Agrarian literary movement, and the theater barnstorming of actor-manager Sol Smith?such are the sounds, images, and expressions of Tennessee?s arts legacy. Through its interlocking themes of tradition and innovation, A History of Tennessee Arts: Creating Traditions, Expanding Horizons traces the story of the artsin Tennessee from its formal, more academic side to its vernacular expressions of culture, self, and community. Both the formal and the vernacular contribute to an understanding of what the arts mean to Tennesseans and, in turn, what Tennesseans have to offer the culture of the state, the region, and the nation. A history of the arts in the Volunteer State becomes, then, an evolving barometer of not only where we have been as a culture, but also how we have matured as a society. … [detailed...]

The kind of people who never forget a face--even after twenty years… Now Tom must confront a group of cold-blooded mobsters intent on settling the score. As much as he tries to deny it, he`s a man with a history of violence--and with the lives of his family hanging in the balance, he`ll do anything to make sure his secret past stays buried…forever.

A History of Wine in America, Volume 1: From the Beginnings to Prohibition

2007 y.
Publisher: University of California Press
Description: The Vikings called North America `Vinland,` the land of wine. Giovanni de Verrazzano, the Italian explorer who first described the grapes of the New World, was sure that `they would yield excellent wines.` And when the English settlers found grapes growing so thickly that they covered the ground down to the very seashore, they concluded that `in all the world the like abundance is not to be found.` Thus, from the very beginning the promise of America was, in part, the alluring promise of wine. How that promise was repeatedly baffled, how its realization was gradually begun, and how at last it has been triumphantly fulfilled is the story told in this book. It is a story that touches on nearly every section of the United States and includes the whole range of American society from the founders to the latest immigrants. Germans in Pennsylvania, Swiss in Georgia, Minorcans in Florida, Italians in Arkansas, French in Kansas, Chinese in California-all contributed to the domestication… [detailed...]

A History of Women Photographers

Publisher: —
Description: The essential illustrated history of women photographers, now updated and expanded to include women working in the twenty-first century. Women have had a special relationship with the camera since the advent of photographic technology in the mid-nineteenth century. Photographers celebrated women as their subjects, from intimate family portraits and fashion spreads to artistic photography and nude studies, including Man Ray`s Violon d`Ingres. Lesser known--and lesser studied--is the history of women photographers, who continue to make invaluable contributions to this flourishing art form. A lengthy study with 416 pages and more than 300 illustrations, A History of Women Photographers is the only survey of women photographers working in the past three centuries, and it is impressively comprehensive. In this edition author Naomi Rosenblum expands the book`s coverage, including new photographers and fifteen new images.

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: In a period characterized by expanding markets, national consolidation, and social upheaval, print culture picked up momentum as the nineteenth century turned into the twentieth. Books, magazines, and newspapers were produced more quickly and more cheaply, reaching ever-increasing numbers of readers. Volume 4 of A History of the Book in America traces the complex, even contradictory consequences of these changes in the production, circulation, and use of print.Contributors to this volume explain that although mass production encouraged consolidation and standardization, readers increasingly adapted print to serve their own purposes, allowing for increased diversity in the midst of concentration and integration. Considering the book in larger social and cultural networks, essays address the rise of consumer culture, the extension of literacy and reading through schooling, the expansion of secondary and postsecondary education and the growth of the textbook industry, the growing… [detailed...]
