The History of Men`s Magazines, Volume 1: From 1900 to Post-WW II

2004 y.
Publisher: Taschen
Description: Open your notebooks, sharpen your pencils, and get ready for a history lesson like none you`ve ever experienced. Yes, that`s right: you`re about to learn everything you could ever want to know about the world history of men`s magazines - not sports, not fashion, not hunting or fishing or how to build a birdhouse in ten easy steps, but those titillating periodicals embracing the subject dearest to all heterosexual men`s hearts and other organs: the undraped female form. A twenty-five-year veteran of the genre, former men`s magazine editor Dian Hanson traces its development from 1900 to 1980 in six massive and informative volumes. Volume 1 explores the period from 1900, when sexy magazines first started to appear in France and Germany, through the decades of subterfuge and censorship up to the great global change wrought by WWII. Along the way the USA, England, Argentina, and many other countries join the publishing fun. Формат издания: 22 см х 28 см. [detailed...]

The History of Now

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Small. almost imperceptible changes are rippling through the New England village of Grandville, altering it in ways its inhabitants cannot yet imagine. Laced through a narrative of one recent year in Grandville`s history are stories that reach back to a 17th century family in Rotterdam, and 18th century migration by a farmer`s lonely son in the Massachusetts Bay Colony, and a 19th century underground railway journey by a gifted runaway slave. Each episode comes to bear on Grandville now.Klein frames this multi-layered story with some fundamental questions in philosophy: Does every event, no matter how small or distant in the past influence all events that follow? Is life merely a drama we dispassionately observe? Does it take courage to live in the `eternal now?`In Grandville, Wendell DeVries, the 65-year-old projectionist at the local movie theater, meets an attractive divorcee and an unexpected love affair blooms, Franny, Wendell`s daughter and leader of the town`s drama group, is… [detailed...]

The History of Science Fiction

2007 y.
Publisher: Palgrave Macmillan
Description: The first comprehensive critical history of SF for thirty years, this book traces the origin and development of science fiction from Ancient Greece, via its rebirth in the seventeenth century, up to the present day. Concentrating on literary SF and (in the later chapters) cinema and TV, it also discusses the myriad forms this genre takes in the contemporary world, including a chapter on graphic novels, SF pop music, visual art and ufology. The author is ideally placed to write it: both an academic literary critic and also an acclaimed creative writer of science fiction, with five novels and many short stories to his credit. Written in lively, accessible prose, this study is specifically designed to bridge the worlds of academic criticism and the SF fandom. `The History of Science Fiction` argues that, even today, this flourishing cultural idiom is shaped by the forces that determined its rise to prominence in the 1600s: the dialogue between Protestant and Catholic worldviews,… [detailed...]

The History of Special Education: A Struggle for Equality in American Public Schools

2007 y.
Publisher: Praeger Publishers
Description: Osgood examines the history of the school lives of children placed in formal or informal special education settings in American public schools during the last 120 years. As the public school system in the United States grew throughout the 20th century, special education became a recognized and dependable, but marginalized, arm of public schooling. Throughout the 1900s, special education emerged as its own world in many ways, developing policies, practices, structures, and an identity that became increasingly important as the public school bureaucracy grew and the school population became more diverse and inclusive. This work describes and interprets the nature and characteristics of special education. It examines carefully the human aspects of identification and placement, the nature of work and play in the classroom, the relationship among students, teachers, administrators, and parents involved in the process, the status and relation of children with disabilities to their… [detailed...]

The History of Theater in Iran

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionAlthough most people do not speak of theater and Iran in the same breath, dramatic expression has always been a fixture of Iranian culture. Some 2500 years ago, kings and commoners alike were regaled by comic theater in the form of dance and mime, accompanied by music. The dancers often wore masks, a vestige of an earlier era when such dances were enacted as religious rites. Comic drama also took a slapstick form, in which social situations were lampooned and people ridiculed by imitatingtheir accents and behavior. Yet another ancient dramatic art was that of puppetry, now known to have exist much earlier than its attested date of about 1000 CE. Only glove and string puppets were popular in Iran, though briefly practiced, shadow puppetryfailed to win a following. Like comic dance and mime, narrative drama originated in religious rites. Over time, religious ceremony evolved gave rise to a popular secular epic tradition that was very popular in pre-Islamic Iran. The… [detailed...]

The History of Time: A Very Short Introduction

2005 y.
Publisher: Oxford University Press
Description: Why do we measure time in the way that we do? Why is a week seven days long? At what point did minutes and seconds come into being? Why are some calendars lunar and some solar? The organization of time into hours, days, months, and years seems immutable and universal, but is actually far more artificial than most people realize. The French Revolution resulted in a restructuring of the French calendar, and the Soviet Union experimented with five- and six-day weeks. Leofranc Holford-Strevens explores the history of the measurement of time using a range of fascinating examples, from Ancient Rome and Julius Caesar`s imposition of the Leap Year to the 1920s` project for a fixed Easter.
