Origins of the Cold War: An International History

2005 y.
Publisher: Routledge
Description: The Cold War dominated the world political arena for forty-five years. Focusing on the international system and on events in all parts of the globe, Melvyn P.Leffler and David S.Painter have brought together a truly international collection of articles that provide a fresh and comprehensive analysis of the origins of the Cold War. Moving beyond earlier controversies, this edited collection focuses on the interaction between geopolitics and threat perception, technology and strategy, ideology and social reconstruction, national economic reform and patterns of international trade, and decolonization and national liberation. The editors also consider how and why the Cold War spread from Europe to Asia, Africa, the Middle East and Latin America and how groups, classes and elites used the Cold War to further their own interests. This second edition includes the newest research from the Communist side of the Cold War and the most recent debates on culture, race and the role… [detailed...]

Origins of the Nuu: Archaeology in the Mixteca Alta, Mexico

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Combining older findings with new data on 1,000 previously undescribed archaeological sites, Origins of the Nuu presents the cultural evolution of the Mixteca Alta in an up-to-date chronological framework. The nuu--the kingdoms of the famous Mixtec codices--are traced back through the Postclassic and Classic periods to their beginnings in the first states of the Terminal Formative, revealing their origin, evolution, and persistence through two cycles of growth and collapse. Challenging assumptions that the Mixtec were peripheral to better-known peoples such as the Aztecs or Maya, the book asserts that the nuu were a major demographic and economic power in their own right. Older explanations of multiregional or macroregional systems often portrayed civilizations as rising in a cradle or hearth and spreading outward. New macroregional studies show that civilizations are products of more complex interactions between regions, in which peripheries are not simply shaped by cores but by… [detailed...]

Orion`s Oracle

Publisher: —
Description: Book Description Orion?s Oracle walked around, looking at each student intently and studying every one of them. When she stood before each individual, she smiled and focused her gaze into their eyes. Each student received a powerful surge of energy and would sometimes sit bolt upright immediately. The instructor would then smile again and walk on to the next student until she had connected with each one. While she was doing this, she was also taking note of the other children`s reactions. The students felt some kind of energy exchange was occurring but could not explain or understand it at the time. After an evening out on the town, Ohio State philosophy professor Sandra Sawyer magically slips into a dreamlike state and is transportedto Alnilam, one of the stars on the ?belt? of the constellation Orion. There, she becomes a student of Cassandra, a radiant and omnipotent oracle who has experienced life on many different dimensions and planes. … [detailed...]

Orlan

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: This is the first complete monograph devoted to the works and theories of Orlan, without a doubt today`s most challenging and thought-provoking performance artist. She began her highly unconventional career at the age of 17 with a series of works using photographs of her own body, which has become her art `medium,` her primary creative voice. Working beyond the limits of body art, in her manifesto on `Carnal Art`, Orlan wrote that her performances are `a selfportrait in the classical sense, yet realized through the technology of its time. Lying between disfiguration and figuration, it is an inscription in flesh.` In 1999, using the operating room as a studio, she underwent a series of filmed plastic surgery operations to modify her own body-her canvas-including the placing of cheekbone implants under the skin of her forehead. Here is a detailed, analytical text including a biography, a chronology of her exhibitions, and critical studies of the significance of her… [detailed...]

Virginia Woolf
Orlando

2003 y.
Publisher: Wordsworth Editions Limited
Description: Virginia Woolf`s Orlando, `the longest and most charming love letter in literature,` playfully constructs the figure of Orlando as the fictional embodiment of Woolf`s close friend and lover, Vita Sackville-West. Spanning three centuries of boisterous, fantastic adventure, the novel opens as Orlando, a young nobleman in Elizabeth`s England, awaits a visit from the Queen and traces his experience with first love as England under James I lies locked in the embrace of the Great Frost. At the midpoint of the novel, Orlando, now an ambassador in Constantinople, awakes to find that he is a woman, and the novel indulges in farce and irony to consider the roles of women in the 18th and 19th centuries. As the novel ends in 1928, a year consonant with full suffrage for women, Orlando, now a wife and mother, stands poised at the brink of a future that holds new hope and promise for women. Wordsworth Classics presents this new edition, proclaimed by Woolf`s contemporary Rebecca West as `a poetic… [detailed...]

Ornament as Art: Avant-Garde Jewelry from the Helen Williams Drutt Collection

2007 y.
Publisher: Arnoldsche Art
Description: When the trustees of the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, accessioned the Helen Williams Drutt Collection of contemporary jewelry in 2002, they were motivated by the belief that fine art transcends all media and academic classifications. The Drutt Collection has been described as the finest of its kind, an assemblage of more than eight hundred works of art intended to adorn the human body. The artists reside in the United States, Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and Australia, and their work covers a broad range of artistic styles. Each work in the Drutt Collection is an original, individual expression that defines its unique place in the world of art. Often jewelry collections are praised merely because they mirror broad artistic movements as seen in painting and sculpture, and the jewels are considered to be miniature versions of more `serious` artworks. Not this collection: Drutt`s world is its own environment, fiercely independent and aggressively one of a kind. Because the… [detailed...]

Ornamental Grasses: Wolfgang Oehme and the New American Garden

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Wolfgang Oehme is one of the most important garden designers of the last 30 years. In partnership with James Van Sweden, who contributes an essay to this book, he ushered in the revolutionary garden style known as the New American Garden. Eschewing previous conventions such as vast lawns, clipped shrubs, and dreary beds of annuals, the New American garden embodies the simple beauty and grandeur of the prairie, defining itself with large sweeps of herbaceous perennials and grasses. The feeling of sheer beauty and calmness that pervades Oehme`s gardens is a reminder of our connection to nature. Ornamental Grasses chronicles Oehme’s professional journey, from his childhood in war-torn Germany to his immense success in the United States, all the while exploring his remarkable career, both solo and in partnership with Van Sweden. Over 200 gorgeous photographs depict dreamlike gardens, “Wolfi” plants, people, and much more. [detailed...]
