Hasan M. El-Shamy
A Motif Index of the Thousand and One Nights

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: In 1704 the French Orientalist Antoin Galland introduced to the Western world a translation of The Thousand and One Nights. Over the course of two subsequent centuries, numerous editions followed. Many of these, like Galland`s, included texts of stories not found in the indigenous manuscripts of the Nights but selected by the European editors from other literary and oral collections of ordinary folktales and legends. Thus, the original work acquired a Western designation as The Arabian Nights, a title unknown among the masses in Arab lands. Now, three centuries later, original publication of The Thousand and One Nights is being celebrated with widespread, renewed interest in the work. Hasan El-Shamy`s motif-index, based on an authentic folk edition of Alf laylah wa laylah, provides scholars of various fields accurate information about the content of this classic piece of Arabic folk tradition.

A Movable Feast: Ten Millennia of Food Globalization

2007 y.
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
Description: In the last twenty-five years alone, the range of fruits and vegetables, even grains, that is available at most local markets has changed dramatically. Over the last 10,000 years, that change is almost unimaginable. This groundbreaking new work, from the editor of the highly regarded Cambridge World History of Food, examines the exploding global palate. It begins with the transition from foraging to farming that got underway some 10,000 years ago in the Fertile Crescent, then examines subsequent transitions in Egypt, Africa south of the Sahara, China, southeast Asia, the Indus Valley Oceanic, Europe, and the Americas. It ends with chapters on genetically modified foods, the fast food industry, the nutritional ailments people have suffered from, famine, the obesity epidemic, and a look at the future on the food front. Food, at its most basic, fuels the human body. At its most refined, food has been elevated to a position of fine art. The path food has taken through history is a fairly… [detailed...]

A Moveable Thirst: Tales and Tastes from a Season in Napa Wine Country

2007 y.
Publisher: Wiley
Description: A rollicking wine country travelogue paired with the only comprehensive guide to Napa`s public tasting rooms. Hank Beal is a wine pro-the executive wine buyer at an upscale supermarket chain. Rick Kushman is an ordinary joe-a guy who enjoys wine but doesn`t know a lot about it. Together, Hank and Rick set out to visit all 141 public tasting rooms in Napa during the course of a year. The result is A Moveable Thirst-an engaging, often hilarious book that`s one part Sideways, one part Frommer`s. The first part recounts their uproarious adventures on the road as Rick learns to sniff and spit like a true oenophile (but never stops asking stupid questions). The second part offers the most complete and detailed guide ever published to Napa`s wine rooms. For wine lovers and the more than 5 million people who visit Napa every year, A Moveable Thirst is a great read and an indispensable guide. [detailed...]

A Much Recorded War: The Russo-Japanese War in History And Imagery

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionAt the dawn of the 20th century, the Russo-Japanese War (1904-05) became a worldwide political focal point. The war, marked the rise of Japan as a world power, paved the way for the Russian Revolution, and made Theodore Roosevelt the first American ever to win the Nobel Peace Prize. It engaged the fervent attention of Asia, Europe, and the United States--so much so that the Milton Bradley Co. created a popular board game based on the war. But more than this, the Russo-Japanese conflict was the first war to be fully recorded by the international media. Journalists, photographers, and filmmakers poured into the areas, capturing the battles in words and visuals, and creating in the process a flood of images remarkable for their vibrancy and power. A Much Recorded War examines the Russo-Japanese conflict from the viewpoint of its artistic legacy, exploring the ways in which it was represented, promoted, and mythologized. Featuring more than 80 objects--from… [detailed...]

Anne Higonnet
A Museum of One`s Own: Private Collecting, Public Gift

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: When French revolutionaries sacked royal holdings at the end of the 18th century, they began the largest transfer of artistic goods in world history. By 1850 many `repossessed` treasures had come to rest in a new institution, the public museum, where they were assigned educational tasks. Anne Higonnet`s book begins at this turning point in the history of art, but it looks instead at another new institution, the collection museum. Emerging in London with the Wallace Collection, the collection museum spread rapidly in Gilded Age America. To the discontent of many Europeans, cash-flush Americans like J.P. Morgan and Henry Clay Frick went on collecting campaigns that netted masterpiece after masterpiece, along with the furniture and fittings of dozens of aristocratic residences.From the outset, these collectors planned to present their trophies to the public as museums in which they could dictate each and every detail of the arrangements. Drawing on a decade of research, Higonnet weaves… [detailed...]

She could give you a look that suddenly chills to the bone, it was an intelligent and a sensitive look, a look that pre-empted action. I put my hand around her waist, whilst gazing into her deep green eyes, I was praising her every movement, and I was transforming myself in the Colombian night. We danced to the South American rhythms of salsa, vallenato, cumbia and mambo. We whirled together in the dancing, and I felt her cool breath against the side of my face, as our bodies brushed together closely. [detailed...]

A NEW LEADERSHIP ETHOS - The Ability to Predict

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: An exceptionally stimulating book on leadership that breaks from so many leadership books on the market. In `A New Leadership Ethos,` the author weaves deep connections between seemingly disparate fields to shed new light on our understanding of leadership. Drawing from history, philosophy, physics, religion, systems theory, ecological models, and the behavioral sciences, leadership scholars and practitioners are given a new lens through which to view the field. This lens will shed light on an increasingly popular topic. The coup de grace appears near the end of the book when the author presents eight breakthrough trends in leadership. Drawing on case studies, practical experience, and a systematic literature review across levels of analysis, the author challenges the reader to think in `out-of-the-box` ways about leadership. In so doing, he helps advance both the science and practice of leadership. [detailed...]

A Nation Of Realtors: A Cultural History Of The Twentieth-century American Middle Class

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: How is it that virtually all Americans came to think of themselves as ?middle class? in the twentieth century? In this cultural history of real estate brokerage, Jeffrey M. Hornstein argues that the rise of the Realtors as dealers in both domestic space and the ideology of home ownership provides tremendous insight into this critical question. At the dawn of the twentieth century, a group of prominent real estate brokers attempted to transform their occupation into a profession. Drawing on traditional notions of the learned professions, they developed a new identity?the professional entrepreneur?and a brand name, ?Realtor.? The Realtors worked doggedly to make home ownership a central element of what became known as the ?American dream.? Hornstein analyzes the internal evolution of the occupation, particularly the gender dynamics culminating in the rise of women brokers to predominance after the Second World War. At the same time, he examines… [detailed...]
