Publisher: —
Description: The Cradle And The Bed places you in the middle of a conflict between Julius Ololade and Michael Dawson as their two worlds collide in an endless struggle for success between American-born Blacks and African immigrants. Julius is a privileged African from Lagos, Nigeria, Michael is an uneducated Black American who uses sports as his way out. Written through the witnessed eyes of author Bode Olakanmi, who lived in the years of Nigeria`s totalitarian government, this tale of envy, success and love takes you into a world of conflicting ideals, coupled with characters full of such true emotions. As a result of higher levels of education and professional training, many recent immigrants from Africa and their immediate offspring enjoy greater success in the United States, compared to their American-born distant cousins. Although a taboo, there is a subtle but noticeable conflict between American-born blacks and recent arrivals from continental Africa. After the euphoria of the black… [detailed...]

The Cradle of Humanity : Prehistoric Art and Culture

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book Description The Cradle of Humanity: Prehistoric Art and Culture collects essays and lectures by Georges Bataille spanning 30 years of research in anthropology, comparative religion, aesthetics, and philosophy. These were neither idle nor idyllic years, the discovery of Lascaux in 1940 coincides with the bloodiest war in history -- with new machines of death, Auschwitz, and Hiroshima. Bataille`s reflections on the possible origins of humanity coincide with the intensified threat of its possibleextinction. For Bataille, prehistory is universal history, it is the history of a human community prior to its fall into separation, into nations and races. The art of prehistory offers the earliest traces of nascent yet fully human consciousness -- of consciousness not yet fully separated from natural flora and fauna, or from the energetic forces of the universe. A play of identities, the art of prehistory is the art of a consciousness struggling against itself, of a… [detailed...]

The Craftsman Revealed: Adrien De Vries, Scupltor in Bronze

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: The sculptor Adriaen de Vries (1556-1626) spent much of his life working for the most discerning royal courts of the age, including that of Holy Roman Emperor Rudolf II in Prague. A master of composition and technique, de Vries was relatively unknown until the groundbreaking 1999 exhibition Adriaen de Vries: Imperial Sculptor, which firmly established the artist`s reputation and afforded a rare opportunity to study in depth a large group of bronzes. This heavily illustrated volume presents the results of the technical study of twenty-five bronzes from the exhibition. Introductory chapters provide background on the artist and technical methodologies. Subsequent chapters present case studies of individual statues, revealing the methods and materials used in their creation. The book will be of great interest to conservators, conservation scientists, art historians, curators, and sculptors. [detailed...]

When the venerable professor Yang, a teacher of literature at a provincial university, has a stroke, his student Jian Wan is assigned to care for him. Since the dutiful Jian plans to marry his mentor’s beautiful, icy daughter, the job requires delicacy. Just how much delicacy becomes clear when Yang begins to rave. Are these just the outpourings of a broken mind, or is Yang speaking the truth—about his family, his colleagues, and his life’s work? And will bearing witness to the truth end up breaking poor Jian’s heart? Combining warmth and intimacy with an unsparing social vision, The Crazed is Ha Jin’s most… [detailed...]

The Creation And Destruction Of Social Capital: Entrepreneurship, Co-Operative Movements and Institutions

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Is social capital the `missing link` in economics? In this vital new book, the authors argue that the `forgotten` production factor of social capital is as crucial in economic decision-making as the other more traditional factors of production such as physical, financial and human capital. They attempt to bridge the gap between theory and reality by examining the main factors that determine entrepreneurship, co-operative movements and the creation and destruction of social capital. To address the question of how social capital is created and destroyed, the authors develop an interdisciplinary approach combining political science, economics, anthropology, sociology and history. They show how bridging social capital enforces personal contact and acts as a lubricator for human co-operation, whereas bonding social capital enforces distance between people, increasing mistrust and, consequently, transaction costs. They demonstrate how entrepreneurship can facilitate voluntary collective… [detailed...]
