Gail Sheehy
Hillary`s Choice

1999 y.
Publisher: Simon &, Schuster
Description: `Hillary`s Choice` is a love story - but one whose rocky moments, rather than remaining private, have been publicised and politicised beyond any imagining. We think we know it all. But it took Gail Sheehy to answer convincingly, for the first time, the perpetual questions: Why does she stay with him? How has she preserved her spirit through repeated cycles of Clinton`s seduction, betrayal and repentance? In `Hillary`s Choice` we meet the real Hillary Rodham, a woman notoriously obsessive about guarding the privacy of herself and those close to her. Gail Sheehy has been observing and writing about her over the past seven years. Now she has interviewed hundreds of people - many of them fresh sources with an intimate knowledge of Hillary. The biographical portrait that emerges is ? tour deforce of hard reporting shaped by the intimate contour of Sheehy`s unique insights. Формат: 16 см x 24 cм. [detailed...]

Hilldiggers

2008 y.
Publisher: Tor
Description: In a remote solar system, a terrible war has raged between two rival planets whose human colonists were forced to adapt in totally different ways to the contrasting conditions of their separate homes. During this merciless conflict one contender encountered a bizarre object suspected of being a cosmic superstring which the rival side was employing as a new weapon. Under attack, the object collapsed into four parts, each found to be packed with alien technology or some unknown form of life. Sometime later, while conducting research on this alien entity they now call `the Worm`, a female scientist, impregnated in strange circumstances, gives birth to quads and then inexplicably commits suicide by stepping directly out into space… The war is finally brought to an end by use of new weapons deployed by giant space dreadnoughts nicknamed `hilldiggers`, whose destructive power proves sufficient to obliterate cities and delve entire new mountain ranges out of the… [detailed...]

Hillman Curtis on Creating Short Films for the Web

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Legendary Web designer and author Hillman Curtis has always been fascinated by motion and movement. In 2001, inspired in part by the affordability and accessibility of digital video, he began to experiment with short digital films in an effort to reinvigorate his creative spirit and express himself both personally and professionally. The nine projects Hillman describes in this book, each between 60 seconds and 10 minutes long, draw from a wide variety of creative sources and take various forms—documentaries, music videos, a fictional short film, and a series of video portraits. Each one is unique, yet the goal is always the same: to capture in video the essence of his subject. Equal parts inspiration, instruction, and personal essay, Hillman Curtis on Creating Short Films for the Web offers an intimate look into the author’s personal filmmaking process: from the ideas and influences that drive the concept and theme of the piece, through the… [detailed...]

Description: Patricia Marx is one of the einest comic writers of her time, as readers of The New Yorker and fans of Saturday Night Live already know. Her eiction debut is an endlessly entertaining comic novel about one woman`s romantic eixation on her eirst boyfriend. Marx`s unabashedly neurotic heroine falls for philosopher Eugene Obello during her grad-uate school days in Cambridge, England. Why would anyone fall for a man who receives a grant to pursue Ego Studies? Why would that person remain obsessed, even after this guy marries and becomes a father? By `obsessed,` we mean, well…sex and lusting and longing and hoping and waiting for this cad who is spread too thin. Her friends loathe him. Why can`t she drop him? Is it because she was the only virgin on campus before she bumped into Eugene (a man who was hardly a virgin)? Is it because he kept a copy of the Magna Carta in his pocket? `You know what I think it really was?` she reflects. `He was a narcissist. I love… [detailed...]

Himalayan People`s War: Nepal`s Maoist Rebellion

2004 y.
Publisher: Indiana University Press
Description: The eruption of a violent Maoist insurgency in Nepal in the late 1990s was met with bewilderment even among many who claimed to know the country well. The so-called `people’s war` was launched in 1996 by the Communist Party of Nepal to overthrow the political establishment, including the monarchy. Tactics have included killing members of rival parties as well as attacks on police stations, banks, and power installations. The indiscriminate nature of the government’s military response has been widely criticized. In 2001, Nepal’s political situation came to the attention of Western news media with the murders of members of the royal family. This book provides historical, social, and political background on the movement and related events in this ongoing struggle. The contributors examine the war’s origins and antecedents, provide ethnographic accounts from rural and urban perspectives, and draw comparisons with other Maoist movements elsewhere in the world. Includes full text of key… [detailed...]

Trevor Braham
Himalayan Playground: Adventures on the Roof of the World 1942-72

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: During the twilight years of the British Raj Trevor Braham spent much of his boyhood in India where, in the mid-1930s, he attended a boarding school in Darjeeling for four years. Dwelling within sight of the magnificent spectacle of Kangchenjunga and its satellite peaks exerted a strong influence upon him, arousing later ambitions. After early trips to Sikkim he joined the Himalayan Club marking a threshold of half-a-lifetime of adventures and activities in the mountain ranges spread across the northern regions of the Indian sub-continent, from Sikkim in the South-east to Chitral in the North-west in an environment very different from the present day. His halcyon years extended from 1942 to 1972, part of the earlier period corresponding with the Himalayan Golden Age in the 1960A `s when an international frenzy developed for climbing the world`s highest mountains. In between he enjoyed summer climbing in the Swiss Alps, joining the Alpine Club and the Swiss Alpine Club.As one of the… [detailed...]

Ed Viesturs, Peter Potterfield
Himalayan Quest: Ed Viesturs on the 8,000-Meter Giants

2003 y.
Publisher: National Geographic
Description: A seasoned American guide much sought by organizers of commercial expeditions in the Himalayan Mountains, Viesturs has, when work permits, pursued a personal goal of ascending every 8,000-meter-plus peak in the range without using bottled oxygen. He will be the second mountaineer to do so if he succeeds in surmounting the only 2 on the list of 14 titans that have defeated him: Annapurna and Nanga Parbat. In the meantime, Viesturs offers this superb photographic record of his ascents since 1987 of Everest, K2, and the rest. Although he modestly disclaims being particularly skillful with the camera, Viesturs possesses an intuitive compositional appreciation for the grandeur of the scenery, for the play of sunrise especially. Moreover, his images viscerally show the vertiginous drop-offs at the summits. Viesturs` picture of Makalu shows his mates straddling its knife-edge top--standing would court an abyssal plummet. Admiring lowlanders will appreciate Viesturs` vistas. Gilbert Taylor [detailed...]

Anna Morcom
Hindi Film Songs and the Cinema

2007 y.
Publisher: Ashgate Publishing
Description: Since their beginnings in the 1930s, Hindi films and film songs have dominated popular culture in South Asia and the diaspora. They have also gained considerable popularity among other audiences in Russia, the Middle East, parts of Africa, and have more recently been making their presence felt in mainstream British and US popular culture. Hindi film songs have been described on the one hand as heavily standardized, and on the other as highly eclectic. Their commercial success is similarly paradoxical. Anna Morcom examines the subject from the perspectives of ethnomusicology, popular music studies, film music studies and South Asian studies. The unique findings of this book illustrate that the primary context of Hindi film songs is not just the culture and society of South Asia, but also the world created by their parent films and Hindi cinema in general. Morcom argues that film song as a musical style and as a commercial and social phenomenon does not make sense unless the cinematic… [detailed...]

Hindu Kingship, Ethnic Revival, and Maoist Rebellion in Nepal (Collected Essays)

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: This volume discusses issues of tribal identity and the Maoist rebellion in the face of Hindu kingship and caste organization. The 1990s witnessed the rise of two successive but interrelated movements that transformed society-ethnic revivalism and the Maoist rebellion. The author, who lived for some months in central Nepal before the emergence of these movements, studied a multi-caste and a multi-ethnic village community. The site of the author`s fieldwork is a place where Hindus have been in very close touch with the tribal population. As far back as the fifteenth century, Hindu rulers had forged ties with the tribal chiefs. Of the indigenous people-who form a third of the country`s population-the Magars are the largest group and developed the closest relationship with Hindu rulers. The essays explore the strategies of the Magars in building relations with high-caste Hindus and how these strategies were determined unilaterally by the Hindu rulers. Over a period of time, this created… [detailed...]
