Nashville Then and Now (Then &, Now)

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Known today as the Country Music Capital of the World, Nashville was first settled by Native Americans as early as 8000 BC. French fur traders arrived around 1717, and by 1779, `Fort Nashborough` was officially established. In 1843, the settlement, now renamed `Nashville,` became the capital of Tennessee. Since its early days, Nashville has had a colorful history, surviving both the Civil War and two cholera epidemics. This city, once home to Daniel Boone and President Andrew Jackson, is now home to the Grand Ole Opry. With side-by-side archival and contemporary photos, Nashville Then and Now gives readers a visual tour of the city`s most enduring landmarks, like the Parthenon, built for the Tennessee Centennial in 1897, and Andrew Jackson`s Hermitage.

Nashville`s Lower Broad: The Street That Music Made

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book Description A gritty, moving, and honest profile in time of a legendary wellspring of country music Like Beale Street in Memphis and Bourbon Street in New Orleans, Lower Broadway was the heart of the country music scene in Nashville, the place where locals could rub elbows with stars and impromptu jam sessions could last late into the night. But after the Grand Ole Opry moved out of the Ryman Auditorium in the 1970s, Lower Broad deteriorated into a down-and-out skid row. When the Ryman`s reopening and urban gentrification started bringing people?especially tourists?back to Lower Broad in the 1990s, locals fought to retain some of its old-time authenticity. Bill Rouda`s evocative photographs captured the return of the spirit ofreal country music in honky-tonks like Tootsie`s Orchid Lounge and Robert`s Western World. Here bands like the hip, retro BR549 played for tips while fans danced the night away, ignoring the shadows of the newly constructed convention… [detailed...]

Nasty : My Family and Other Glamorous Varmints

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book Description When Simon Doonan sat down to write a memoir, he discovered he had no memories of cuddly family times or romantic Hallmark moments -- turns out most of his memories are notably nasty. Birthday parties? No recollection. But his mother`s dentures flying out of her mouth when she sneezed and skittering across the kitchen floor? A vivid mental image that still brings a smile. In his subversively funny memoir, Nasty: My Family and Other Glamorous Varmints, Simon revisits his formative years and the defiantly eccentric, lovably odd family he calls his own, showing us how nasty memories can be very, very good. Long before he became a celebrity in his own right -- as a bestselling author, as a style arbiter on national television, and as the window display genius of Barneys New York -- Simon Doonan was a `scabby knee`d troll` in Reading, England. In Nasty, he returns to the working-class neighborhood of his youth and chronicles the misadventures of the… [detailed...]

David Bezmozgis
Natasha: And Other Stories

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: A dazzling debut, and a publishing phenomenon: the tender, savagely funny collection from a young immigrant who has taken the critics by storm. Few readers had heard of David Bezmozgis before May 2003, when Harper’s, Zoetrope, and The New Yorker all printed stories from his forthcoming collection. In the space of a few weeks, America thus met the Bermans--Bella and Roman and their son, Mark--Russian Jews who have fled the Riga of Brezhnev for Toronto, the city of their dreams. Told through Mark’s eyes, the stories in Natasha possess a serious wit and uniquely Jewish perspective that recall the first published stories of Bernard Malamud and Philip Roth, not to mention the recent work of Jhumpa Lahiri, Nathan Englander, and Adam Haslett.

Nathan Mayer Rothschild And The Creation Of A Dynasty: The Critical Years 1806-1816

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: This groundbreaking history explains how Nathan Mayer Rothschild rose from comparatively humble circumstances to become the founder of an extraordinary banking and financial empire?an empire that remained preeminent in Europe for more than a century. The book focuses on the critical years of Great Britain`s war against Napoleon, when Rothschild became in effect Britain`s banker and paymaster on the Continent, contributing to Wellington`s defeat of Napoleon and consolidating the basis of the Rothschild financial dynasty. Although the basic outline of Rothschild`s remarkable rise in the world of European high finance is well known, the details of how this actually took place, at the transaction-by-transaction level, have never before been studied. On the basis of painstaking archival examination of all of Rothschild`s extant financial records, Kaplan is able to explain for the first time exactly how this transformation occurred. [detailed...]

Inmitten eines dramatischen Geschehens um die Rettung seiner Tochter durch einen christlichen Ordensritter, den seinerseits der Sultan vor dem Tod bewahrt hat, steht Nathan der Weise als ruhender Pol der Vernunft, Aufklarung und Toleranz. In der beruhmten Ringparabel klart er die heikle Frage nach der wahren Religion. Keine der drei Weltreligionen ist absolut. Jede erweist ihre Wahrheit und ihren Sinn erst durch die Kraft, mit der sie praktische Humanitat stiften kann. Nathan gelingt es, die Menschen verschiedenen Glaubens in friedvollem Miteinander als Angehorige einer grossen Familie zu vereinen. Формат: 12,5 см х 19 см. [detailed...]

Nation-Building: Beyond Afghanistan and Iraq (Forum on Constructive Capitalism)

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Bestselling author Francis Fukuyama brings together esteemed academics, political analysts, and practitioners to reflect on the U.S. experience with nation-building, from its historical underpinnings to its modern-day consequences. The United States has sought on repeated occasions to reconstruct states damaged by conflict, from Reconstruction in the South after the Civil War to Japan and Germany after World War II, to the ongoing rebuilding of Iraq. Despite this rich experience, there has been remarkably little systematic effort to learn lessons on how outside powers can assist in the building of strong and self-sufficient states in post-conflict situations. The contributors dissect mistakes, false starts, and lessons learned from the cases of Afghanistan and Iraq within the broader context of reconstruction efforts in other parts of the world, including Latin America, Japan, and the Balkans. Examining the contrasting models in Afghanistan and Iraq, they highlight the… [detailed...]

Nation-States and the Multinational Corporation: A Political Economy of Foreign Direct Investment

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: What makes a country attractive to foreign investors? To what extent do conditions of governance and politics matter? This book provides the most systematic exploration to date of these crucial questions at the nexus of politics and economics. Using quantitative data and interviews with investment promotion agencies, investment location consultants, political risk insurers, and decision makers at multinational corporations, Nathan Jensen arrives at a surprising conclusion: Countries may be competing for international capital, but government fiscal policy--both taxation and spending--has little impact on multinationals` investment decisions. Although government policy has a limited ability to determine patterns of foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows, political institutions are central to explaining why some countries are more successful in attracting international capital. First, democratic institutions lower political risks for multinational corporations. Indeed, they… [detailed...]

But when much is taken, something is returned, and somewhere in the jungle Daphne - a girl from the other side of the globe - is the sole survivor of a ship destroyed by the same wave. Together the two confront the aftermath of catastrophe. Drawn by the smoke of Mau and Daphne`s sheltering fire, other refugees slowly arrive: children without parents, mothers without babies, husbands without wives - all of them hungry and all of them frightened. As Mau and Daphne struggle to keep the small band safe and fed, they defy ancestral spirits, challenge death himself, and uncover a long-hidden secret that literally turns the world upside down… Internationally revered storyteller Terry Pratchett presents a breathtaking adventure of survival and discovery, and of the courage required to forge new beliefs.

In fact, the information gathered by various organisations has not yet been systematically classified into a consistent system of accounts. This book presents the results of a joint research effort by the Fondazione Eni Enrico Mattei and Italy`s Central Statistical Office (ISTAT) to design a system of accounts for natural and environmental resources. The resulting environmental accounts can be integrated with the existing system of national accounts, in order to estimate the so-called `green GDP` or `net national product` (NNP). [detailed...]
