At City`s Edge : Photographs of Chicago`s Lakefront (Center for American Places-Center Books on American Places)

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book Description An iron-gray slate on a cold and blustery day, a respite from the summer heat, the engine of the city`s notorious blizzards: Lake Michigan is an integral part of the landscape of Chicago. Bob Thall has been photographing the skyline and streets of Chicago for over thirty years, and here in At City`s Edge he chronicles the twenty-five-mile shoreline where the asphalt meets the inland sea. Thall`s stark yet rich images take viewers from the Evanston border on the North Shore down to 100th Street on the South Side, documenting the natural scenery, architectural structures, and people that populate the coastline. From the lakefront parks to summer beaches to the Air and Water Show, Chicago enfolds Lake Michigan into its urban character, but Thall`s images make clear that the lake remains a dynamic and powerful force, with nature and civilization clashing at its rim. At City`s Edge brings the lakefront to life in all its complexity, chronicling in… [detailed...]

At Ease: Navy Men of World War II

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: In the years following World War II, images of comradeship, particularly of men being physically close, largely disappeared from the public record. But, as these stunning photographs attest, ordinary American men in the extraordinary circumstances of World War II were affectionate, winsome, and playful-disarmingly innocent in a time of cataclysmic peril. Led by photography giant Captain Edward J. Steichen, the U.S. Naval Aviation Photographic Unit was organized during the war to record the daily experiences of Navy men all over the world and provide newspapers and magazines with images to promote the American cause. The unit`s photographers, which included Wayne Miller, Horace Bristol, Victor Jorgensen, and Barrett Gallagher, took thousands of pictures of soldiers as they relaxed, trained, prepared for the next battle, and waited. This book brings together more than 150 of those photographs, culled from the National Archives, including many that have never before been… [detailed...]

At First Sight

2007 y.
Publisher: Grand Central Publishing
Description: There are a few things Jeremy Marsh was sure he`d never do: he`d never leave New York City, never give his heart away again after barely surviving one failed marriage, and, most of all, never become a parent. Now, Jeremy is living in the tiny town of Boone Creek, North Carolina, married to Lexie Darnell, the love of his life, and anticipating the birth of their daughter. But just as his life seems to be settling into a blissful pattern, an unsettling and mysterious message re-opens old wounds and sets off a chain of events that will forever change the course of this young couple`s marriage. Dramatic, heartbreaking and surprising, this is a story about the love between a man and a woman and between a parent and a child. More than that, it is a story that beautifully portrays how the same emotion that can break your heart is also the one that will ultimately heal it. [detailed...]

Description: An original and incisive account of one of the world`s most exciting cinemas. Breathtaking swordplay and nostalgic love, Peking opera and Chow Yun-fat`s cult followers-these are some of the elements of the vivid and diverse urban imagination that find form and expression in the thriving Hong Kong cinema. All receive their due in At Full Speed, a volume that captures the remarkable range and energy of a cinema that borrows, invents, and reinvents across the boundaries of time, culture, and conventions. At Full Speed gathers film scholars and critics from around the globe to convey the transnational, multilayered character that Hong Kong films acquire and impart as they circulate worldwide. These writers scrutinize the films they find captivating: from the lesser known works of Law Man and Yuen Woo Ping to such film festival notables as Stanley Kwan and Wong Kar-wai, and from the commercial action, romance, and comedy genres of Jackie Chan, Peter Chan, Steven Chiau, Tsui… [detailed...]

At Home With Density

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionThirty-five percent of the Hong Kong population lives in small apartments in public housing, yet there has been little documented about how this effects quality of life. Through qualitative interviews with public housing residents, At Home with Density addresses the seeming paradox that Hong Kong is one of the most prosperous societies in the world (with the highest density of Rolls Royces, mobile telephones, and millionaires per square mile), and yet, most of the population lives in whatis, by western standards, low quality, high-density housing. As there are few theoretically-informed studies of Asian urban design, this book represents an important contribution to the fields of design, sociology, and cultural geography. The accompanying award-winning documentary film, A Thousand Pieces of Gold, the recipient of the Gold Award at the Hong Kong Independent Film and Video Awards in 1998, will enable readers unfamiliar with Hong Kong housing the opportunity to… [detailed...]

At Home in the Land of Oz: Autism, My Sister, and Me

2007 y.
Publisher: Jessica Kingsley Publishers
Description: Anne Clinard Barnhill`s sister Becky was born in 1958, long before most people had even heard the term autism. Diagnosed with `emotional disturbance,` Becky was subjected for much of her childhood to well-meaning but futile efforts at `rehabilitation` or `cure,` as well as prolonged spells in institutions away from her family. Painting a vivid picture of growing up in small-town America during the Sixties, Barnhill describes her sister`s and her own painful childhood experiences with compassion and honesty. Struggling with the separation from her sister, the awkwardness of boyfriends` reactions to her sister`s erratic behaviour and the emotional and financial hardships the family experienced as a result of Becky`s condition, Anne nevertheless found that her sister had something that `normal` people were unable to offer. Today, she is accepting of her sister`s autism and the impact, both painful and positive, it has had on both their lives. This bittersweet memoir will resonate with… [detailed...]

At Home in the World: Bharata Natyam on the Global Stage

2007 y.
Publisher: Wesleyan
Description: One of the most popular and widely performed dance styles in India and around the world, bharata natyam has made the transition from its beginnings in the temples and courts of southern India to a highly respected international phenomenon. In this study of a classical dance form, author Janet O`Shea tracks the choreographic transformations that accompanied the transfer of bharata natyam to the urban concert stage in the 1930s and 1940s. At Home in the World situates these changes within the political debates of their time, and further ties the concerns of this period to present day practice. The history of this dance is also a history of India itself, and readers can trace various national struggles over gender identity, regionalism, and globalism through O`Shea`s narrative. With over 250 teachers in the United States alone, bharata natyam offers a remarkable case study of how a traditional art form moves into the world. [detailed...]
