Bill Evans, Andrew Lawson
A Nation of Shopkeepers

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: In the last decade or so, English towns and villages have been altered almost beyond recognition, and the small specialist shops, run by families who have taken a fierce pride in their traditions of quality and service, are in danger of disappearing forever. A Nation of Shopkeepers is a photographic tribute to these bastions of personal enterprise while they still survive. Bill Evans and Andrew Lawson have combed England to record the strong feeling of period and design that these small shops encompass, whether through style and decoration of their frontages and interiors, their signs, displays of wares or the craftsmanship they offer their customers.

A Nation of Wimps: The High Cost of Invasive Parenting

2008 y.
Publisher: Broadway
Description: Wake up, America: We’re raising a nation of wimps. Hara Marano, editor-at-large and the former editor-in-chief of Psychology Today, has been watching a disturbing trend: kids are growing up to be wimps. They can’t make their own decisions, cope with anxiety, or handle difficult emotions without going off the deep end. Teens lack leadership skills. College students engage in deadly binge drinking. Graduates can’t even negotiate their own salaries without bringing mom or dad in for a consult. Why? Because hothouse parents raise teacup children—brittle and breakable, instead of strong and resilient. This crisis threatens to destroy the fabric of our society, to undermine both our democracy and economy. Without future leaders or daring innovators, where will we go? So what can be done? kids would play in the street until their mothers hailed them for supper, and unless a child was called into the principal’s office, parents and teachers met only at organized… [detailed...]

Clay Risen
A Nation on Fire: America in the Wake of the King Assassination

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: A few hours after Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. was assassinated at a Memphis motel, violent mobs had looted and burned several blocks of Washington a few miles north of the White House, centered around the U Street commercial district. Quick action by D.C. police quelled the violence, but shortly before noon the next day, looting and arson broke out anew -- not just along U Street, but in two other commercial districts as well. Over the next several days, the immediate crisis of the riots was matched by an equally ominous sense among the nation`s political leadership that they were watching the final dissolution of the 1960s liberal dream. For many whites who watched flames overtake city after city -- Washington, Chicago, Baltimore, Kansas City -- the April riots were an unfathomable and deeply troubling response during what should have been a time of national mourning. To them the rioters were little better than common criminals. But a look at the average rioter complicates… [detailed...]

A Nation upon the Ocean Sea: Portugal`s Atlantic Diaspora and the Crisis of the Spanish Empire, 1492-1640

2007 y.
Publisher: —
Description: With the opening of sea routes in the fifteenth century, groups of men and women left Portugal to establish themselves across the ports and cities of the Atlantic or Ocean Sea. They were refugees and migrants, traders and mariners, Jews, Catholics, and the Marranos of mixed Judaic-Catholic culture. They formed a diasporic community known by contemporaries as the Portuguese Nation. By the early seventeenth century, this nation without a state had created a remarkable trading network that spanned the Atlantic, reached into the Indian Ocean and Asia, and generated millions of pesos that were used to bankroll the Spanish empire. A Nation Upon The Ocean Sea traces the story of the Portuguese Nation from its emergence in the late fifteenth century to its fragmentation in the middle of the seventeenth and situates it in relation to the parallel expansion and crisis of Spanish imperial dominion in the Atlantic. Against the backdrop of this relationship, the book reconstitutes the rich inner… [detailed...]

Joel Greenberg
A Natural History of the Chicago Region (Center for American Places-Center Books on American Places)

2004 y.
Publisher: University of Chicago Press
Description: In A Natural History of the Chicago Region , Joel Greenberg takes readers on a journey that begins in 1673 with Father Jacques Marquette and Louis Joliet--the first Europeans known to have visited the Chicago region--and that we`re still on today. This is a fascinating story, told with humor and passion, of forests battling prairies for dominance, of grasslands plowed, wetlands drained, and species driven to extinction in the settlement of the Midwest, and of caring conservationists fighting to preserve and restore the native plants and animals. Intermingling historical anecdotes and episodes straight from the words of early settlers and naturalists with current scientific information, Greenberg places the natural history of the region in a human context, showing how it affects our everyday existence in even the most urbanized landscape of Chicago.

A Naturalist`s Guide to the Virginia Coast

2004 y.
Publisher: University of Virginia Press
Description: As Curtis Badger will tell you, `Being a good naturalist has more to do with being an enthusiastic observer than traveling to distant places. It is more a matter of curiosity than of a need for adventure, a frame of mind rather than peculiarity of place.` `A Naturalist`s Guide to the Virginia Coast` will indeed incite an enthusiastic interest in that special place where the land meets the sea. Among Badger`s goals is to draw the observer beyond the armchair and reading lamp, the museum and classroom, and outdoors onto the beaches and tidal flats of the Virginia coast to experience its rich natural diversity firsthand. And foot-first: Feel the mud between your toes on the tidal flats at Chincoteague, walk the sandy beach at Back Bay, pedala bike along the Cape Henry Trail at First Landing State Park. Informative as a guidebook -- complete with sections on Virginia`s primary coastal wilderness areas and appendices listing where to go and what to look for -- `A Naturalist`s Guide`… [detailed...]

A Needle in the Right Hand of God: The Norman Conquest of 1066 and the Making and Meaning of the Bayeux Tapestry

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: The Bayeux Tapestry is the world’s most famous textile–an exquisite 230-foot-long embroidered panorama depicting the events surrounding the Norman Conquest of 1066. It is also one of history’s most mysterious and compelling works of art. This haunting stitched account of the battle that redrew the map of medieval Europe has inspired dreams of theft, waves of nationalism, visions of limitless power, and esthetic rapture. In his fascinating new book, Yale professor R. Howard Bloch reveals the history, the hidden meaning, the deep beauty, and the enduring allure of this astonishing piece of cloth. Bloch opens with a gripping account of the event that inspired the Tapestry: the swift, bloody Battle of Hastings, in which the Norman bastard William defeated the Anglo-Saxon king, Harold, and laid claim to England under his new title, William the Conqueror. But to truly understand the connection between battle and embroidery, one must retrace the web of international… [detailed...]

A Neighborhood That Never Changes: Gentrification, Social Preservation, and the Search for Authenticity (Fieldwork Encounters and Discoveries)

2010 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Newcomers to older neighborhoods are usually perceived as destructive, tearing down everything that made the place special and attractive. But as A Neighborhood That Never Changes demonstrates, many gentrifiers seek to preserve the authentic local flavor of their new homes, rather than ruthlessly remake them. Drawing on ethnographic research in four distinct communitiesa??the Chicago neighborhoods of Andersonville and Argyle and the New England towns of Provincetown and Dresdena??Japonica Brown-Saracino paints a colorful portrait of how residents new and old, from wealthy gay homeowners to Portuguese fishermen, think about gentrification. The new breed of gentrifiers, Brown-Saracino finds, exhibits an acute self-consciousness about their role in the process and works to minimize gentrificationa??s risks for certain longtime residents. In an era of rapid change, they cherish the unique and fragile, whether a dilapidated house, a two-hundred-year-old landscape, or the presence of… [detailed...]

Machine consciousness will be achieved, virtual reality will become so convincing you`ll literally forget you`re in an unreal world, computers in every classroom will revolutionize education. It`s becoming hard to tell where technology forecasting leaves off and hype begins! In a remarkably clear-eyed look at some of the major unexamined assumptions of our times, computer scientist Richard Crandall and philosopher Marvin Levich look at the ideas underlying the Information Revolution, with the belief that it is time for sharper scrutiny of a revolution that gives rise to profound problems of responsibility for computer users, educatiorsand designers. The six essays making up A Network Orange provide new views of such subjects as: * Why market forces make your computer clumsy and inefficient. * Why we must differentiate between machine intelligence and machine… [detailed...]

In doing so, they introduce readers to new techniques, such as `shadow benchmarking` and `fractal management analysis.` Readable, with useful checklists, forms, reminders, and drawing from real world cases, this book will be essential reading for executives in the public and private sectors, and their colleagues in the academic business community.

The purpose of the new architecture is not only to integrate the existing systems of accounts, but also to identify gaps and inconsistencies and expand and incorporate systems of nonmarket accounts with the core system.A Since the United States economy accounts for almost thirty percent of the world economy, it is not surprising that accounting for this huge and diverse set of economic activities requires a decentralized statistical system. This volume outlines the major assignments among institutions that include the Bureau of Economic Analysis, the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the Department of Labor, the Census Bureau, and the Governors of the Federal Reserve System.A An important part of the motivation for the new architecture is to integrate the different… [detailed...]
