2005 y.

Steel Chair to the Head provides a multifaceted look at the popular phenomenon of pro wrestling. The contributors combine critical rigor with a deep appreciation of wrestling as a unique cultural form, the latest in a long line of popular performance genres.

Steel Design

2007 y.
Publisher: daab
Description: Architecture has advanced quickly in the field of construction materials, which are fundamental when fulfilling dreams of raising massive buildings. Amongst these materials that have had the biggest influence in the creation of this kind of architecture is steel. As a result of a carbon-alloy, steel is ductile but at the same time resistant and tough. Today it is not only present in the structure of all types of buildings, but also used in designs for household objects and plays a major role in avant-garde interior design. On the basis of about 40 projects this book shows how multifariously steel can be leveraged. Plans of the projects will be shown as far as available. An index of contact information of the designer and architects is enclosed. [detailed...]

Scott Reynolds Nelson
Steel Drivin` Man: John Henry: the Untold Story of an American Legend

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: The ballad `John Henry` is the most recorded folk song in American history and John Henry--the mighty railroad man who could blast through rock faster than a steam drill--is a towering figure in our culture. But for over a century, no one knew who the original John Henry was--or even if there was a real John Henry. In Steel Drivin` Man, Scott Reynolds Nelson recounts the true story of the man behind the iconic American hero, telling the poignant tale of a young Virginia convict who died working on one of the most dangerous enterprises of the time, the first rail route through the Appalachian Mountains. Using census data, penitentiary reports, and railroad company reports, Nelson reveals how John Henry, victimized by Virginia`s notorious Black Codes, was shipped to the infamous Richmond Penitentiary to become prisoner number 497, and was forced to labor on the mile-long Lewis Tunnel for the CandO railroad. Nelson even confirms the legendary contest between John Henry and the… [detailed...]

Steel Phoenix: The Fall and Rise of the U.S. Steel Industry

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Steel Phoenix: The Fall and Rise of the U.S. Steel Industry is a remarkable story. Christopher Hall recounts the great downfall of `Big Steel` in America and the emergence of a new, reinvented steel industry from the ashes of the old. Beginning with the failures of Big Steel to respond to a changing world, Christopher Hall analyzes the powers and drives behind this `most basic` of industries, revealing how the `Rust Belt` of the 1970s and 1980s was created and how the death of the traditional steel industry devastated cities such as Pittsburgh, Cleveland, and Youngstown. Hall then examines how pioneering entrepreneurs and engineers rebuilt the industry by recycling large supplies of scrap steel, giving way to a minimill industry that ultimately saved what was left of the old Big Steel mills.

Steelworker Alley: How Class Works in Youngstown

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: For retired steelworkers in Youngstown, Ohio, the label `working class` fits comfortably. Questioning the widely held view that laborers in postwar America have adopted middle-class values, Robert Bruno shows that in this community a blue-collar identityhas provided a positive focus for many residents. The son of a Youngstown steelworker, Bruno returned to his hometown seeking to understand the formation of his own working-class consciousness and the place of labor in the larger capitalist society. Drawing on interviews with dozens of former steelworkers and on research in local archives, Bruno explores the culture of the community, including such subjects as relations among co-workers, class antagonism, and attitudes toward authority. He describes how,because workers are often neighbors, the workplace takes on a feeling of neighborhood. He also demonstrates that to understand class consciousness one must look beyond the workplace, in this instance from Youngstown`s front porches to… [detailed...]

Stefanie Schneider: Stranger Than Paradise

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Stefanie Schneider uses expired Polaroid film to photograph her friends in wigs, in silver underwear in trailer parks, and on rooftops, in a retro B-movie aesthetic helped along by the instant-antiquing of the discolored film and by the fact that some of her models are genuine movie stars. Among motel signs from the 50s, palm trees against the blue sky, candy-colored limousines, a gas station in the middle of nowhere, we find young people who seem oddly lost, vacant-eyed--among them Naomi Watts and Ewan McGregor. Director Marc Forster has picked up on Schneider`s movie-friendly aesthetic and integrated her work into Stay, his new thriller starring Watts and McGregor. Stranger than Paradise, Schneider`s latest reminiscence of a Hollywood that may never have been, that may be more David Lynch and Last Picture Show than anything real, has been created and brought out in cooperation with Hollywood as we know it today, and is to be released in conjunction with the film.

Steganography

2005 y.
Publisher: BookSurge Publishing
Description: Steganography is a process which involves hiding a message in an appropriate carrier for example an image or an audio file. The carrier can then be sent to a receiver without anyone else knowing that it contains a hidden message. This is a process which can be used for example by civil rights organizations in repressive states to communicate their message to the outside world without their own government being aware of it. Less virtuously it can be used by terrorists to communicate with one another without anyone else`s knowledge. In both cases the objective is not to make it difficult to read the message as cryptography does, it is to hide the existence of the message in the first place possibly to protect the courier. The aim of this book is to investigate the background of steganography, discuss steganographic tools in common use and methods commonly implemented. The theory is also enhanced with a series of documented steganography java classes which implement many of the… [detailed...]

Steinberg at the New Yorker

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: For six decades, Saul Steinberg`s covers, cartoons, features, and illustrations were a defining presence at The New Yorker . As the magazine became a standard-bearer of taste and intelligence in American letters, Steinberg`s drawings emerged as its visual epitome. This richly illustrated book, featuring Joel Smith`s astute text and a captivating introduction by the artist`s friend and colleague Ian Frazier, explores the remarkable range and unceasing evolution of a major American modernist-one whose art reached a grateful public not from museum walls but from the pages of the periodical he called `my refuge, patria, and safety net.` All Steinberg`s New Yorker covers appear here in full color, along with over 130 examples of inside art, from black-line drawings to elaborate color portfolios. Also included are Steinberg`s most beloved, intuitive, and brilliant inspirations, among them a New York populated with stoical cats, precocious children, puzzled couples, and… [detailed...]

Publisher: —
Description: We were able to eke out a meager living during our early days. I had a dream, and convinced everyone around me - family members, friends and new acquaintances - to buy into it. Looking back, it`s a miracle that so many people sacrificed so much on nothing more than faith. But it shouldn`t really be so surprising. One common theme throughout my life is that I`ve always had the innate ability to attract people to me, make them my champions and get them to back my dreams.Two years after arriving in America I founded a business with $1,800 I had saved. Today, because of that leap of faith I am a successful entrepreneur with a net worth of nearly $30 million and stand among the top 1 percent of Americans.This book is the story of my life. Through my experiences I have tried to share the lessons I`ve learned along the way. These lessons have led me around roadblocks, helped me navigate detours, and scale what appeared at the time to be unconquerable mountains. They have even served as… [detailed...]
