Shining and Other Paths: War and Society in Peru, 1980-1995 (Latin America Otherwise)

1998 y.
Publisher: Duke University Press
Description: Shining and Other Paths offers the first systematic account of the social experiences at the heart of the war waged between Shining Path and the Peruvian military during the 1980s and early 1990s. Confronting and untangling the many myths and enigmas that surround the war and the wider history of twentieth-century Peru, this book presents clear and often poignant analyses of the brutal reshaping of life and politics during a war that cost tens of thousands of lives. The contributors—a team of Peruvian and U.S. historians, social scientists, and human rights activists—explore the origins, social dynamics, and long-term consequences of the effort by Shining Path to effect an armed communist revolution. The book begins by interpreting Shining Path’s emergence and decision for war as one logical culmination, among several competing culminations, of trends in oppositional politics and social movements. It then traces the experiences of peasants and refugees to demonstrate how… [detailed...]

Shinkansen: From Bullet Train to Symbol of Modern Japan (Contemporary Japan)

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: The image of the shinkansen - or `bullet train` - passing Mount Fuji is one of the most renowned images of modern Japan. Yet, despite its international reputation for speed and punctuality, little is understood about what makes it work so well and what its impact is. This book provides a comprehensive account of the history of the shinkansen, from its planning during the Pacific War, to its launch in 1964 and subsequent development. It goes on to analyze the reasons behind the bullet train`s success, and demonstrates how it went from being simply a high-speed rail network to attaining the status of iconic national symbol. It considers the shinkansen`s relationship with national and regional politics and economic development, its financial viability, the environmental challenges it must cope with, and the ways in which it reflects and influences important aspects of Japanese society. It concludes by considering whether the bullet train can be successful in other countries developing… [detailed...]

Ship Modeling Simplified: Tips and Techniques for Model Construction from Kits

1990 y.
Publisher: International Marine/Ragged Mountain Press
Description: In Ship Modeling Simplified, master model builder Frank Mastini puts to paper the methods he`s developed over 30 years at the workbench to help novices take their first steps in an exciting pastime. You don`t need the deftness of a surgeon or the vocabulary of an old salt to build a model. What you need is an understanding coach. Mastini leads readers from the mysteries of choosing a kit and setting up a workshop through deciphering complicated instructions and on to painting, decorating, and displaying finished models - with patience and clarity, not condescension. He reveals dozens of shortcuts: How to plank a hull `egg-shell tight`, how to build and rig complicated mast assemblies without profanity, how to create sails that look like sails. And along the way he points out things that beginners usually do wrong - beforehand, not after they`ve taken hammers to their projects. Ship Modeling Simplified even includes an Italian-English dictionary of nautical terms, the key to… [detailed...]

Ship Models (The Thomson Collection at the Art Gallery of Ontario)

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Spanning some 350 years, the Thomson Collection of ship models contains examples of exquisite workmanship and some of the masterpieces of the genre. Foremost in the Collection are rare late 17th and 18th century British dockyard models, made to scale for the Royal Navy and wealthy individuals. There is also a large number of models made by some of the 120,000 prisoners of the Napoleonic Wars. These models - made from wood and bone, with rigging of silk and human hair - were often produced by teams of highly skilled craftsmen and sold to local British collectors who gathered at the prison gates. The shipbuilder`s models extend from the mid 19th century to the Second World War, representing a diversity of both model style, as well as ship types ranging from tugs, dredgers and trawlers to cargo vessels, passenger steamers, private yachts, corvettes, battleships, cruisers, torpedo boats, destroyers and two aircraft carriers. The Collection is an important three-dimensional resource… [detailed...]

Its dominance is even more overwhelming when distances are accounted for. This book is concerned with the economics of this pivotal mode of transportation.

Ships of Steel: A British Columbia Shipbuilder`s Story

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: A century ago, the steel ships working coastal waters were built elsewhere. Gradually marine engineers began migrating to the coast with their families, and the BC industry got underway. Ships of Steel chronicles that industry from the early development of steel construction facilities, equipment and qualified personnel, to the World War II boom when BC yards delivered two 10,000-ton freighters every week, to the postwar production of tugs, barges, fish boats and sophisticated supply vessels, to the present day. The heart of the story is a half-century`s worth of observations and recollections by Arthur McLaren (1919-99), a natural storyteller who owned and ran Allied Shipbuilders for 50 years and who knew the business inside out. This invaluable oral history is presented in the context of an engaging, readable history of the industry by Vickie Jensen, a marine writer who was a friend of Arthur McLaren. Also included are anecdotal and technical information from McLaren`s… [detailed...]

Ships of the Line (Star Trek)

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: They dared to risk it all in a skiff of reeds or leather, on a ship of wood or steel, knowing the only thing between them and certain death was their ship. To explore, to seek out what lay beyond the close and comfortable, every explorer had to embrace danger. And as they did so, what arose was a mystical bond, a passion for the ships that carried them. From the very first time humans dared to warp the fabric of space, escaping from the ashes of the third World War, they also created ships. These vessels have become the icons of mankind`s desire to rise above the everyday, to seek out and make the unknown known. And these ships that travel the stellar seas have stirred the same passions as the ones that floated in the oceans. While every captain has wished that their starship could be outfitted in the same manner as the sailing ship H.M.S. Beagle -- without weapons -- that proved untenable. From the start, Starfleet realized that each vessel, due to the limited range of the early… [detailed...]

Ships` Graveyards: Abandoned Watercraft and the Archaeological Site Formation Process

Publisher: —
Description: `The conventional subject matter of maritime archaeology is usually thought to be `shipwrecks,` which become archaeological sites through some kind of catastrophic event. Ships` Graveyards is highly significant because it furnishes convincing rationales fthe need to understand deliberate abandonment processes--those resulting from ship owners` decisions and behaviors. Clearly, this is a landmark study of a neglected topic that is likely to stimulate exciting research for decades to come.`--Michael B. Schir, University of Arizona Ships` Graveyards is an explicitly theoretical study that avoids the single-site bias prevalent in most underwater archaeology research. It also eschews the traditional examination of shipwreck sites as the core component of stuin this field. Instead, Nathan Richards seeks to discover what we can learn by examining intentionally abandoned vessels and to determine what the differences are between cultural site formation processes and those created… [detailed...]

Shipyard in Maine: Percy &, Small and the Great Schooners

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Towards the end of the nineteenth century, a new firm was established in Bath, Maine, at a time when established yards in the City of Ships were turning to steel construction. Percy &, Small would set unrivaled records for wooden shipbuilding and ship management, launching 22 giant five- and six-masted schooners (along with 16 four-masters) in two decades. Not just builders, Percy &, Small also demonstrated an unusual knack for making money as managing owners of a large fleet of schooners, and the stories of their ships are told in these pages in wonderful detail, from the wooing of potential shareholders and the elaborate launching festivities (with one schooner stuck on the ways) to deeply laden coal schooners struggling to stay off the lee shore, daring captains navigating treacherous shoals, and the perils of collisions, dismastings, fires, and enemy submarines. At sea in a storm, a giant six-master heavy with coal needed great strength to survive. Percy &, Small developed… [detailed...]

Publisher: —
Description: In Shirin Neshat`s photographs, Arabic calligraphic script is transcribed over black-and-white depictions of the exposed faces, hands, and feet of Iranian women. In her video works, swarms of women in black hijabs ululate, a man in a white dress shirt and black pants sings to an all-male audience, and a lone, nearly invisible woman chants to herself in a darkened house. Though focused on the particulars of the oppression of women in contemporary Iran, Neshat underscores the relevance of her poetic, disturbing, moving ensembles to a broader culture. Presented here are stills from five of Neshat`s recent films: Tooba (2002), in which a female protagonist wanders through the artist`s interpretation of the Garden of Eden, The Last Word (2003), a surreal and disturbing look into the mind of an Iranian woman writer, Mahdokht (2004), Neshat`s first feature-length film, set in a magical garden and based on Shahrnoush Parsipour`s novella, Women without Men and … [detailed...]
