The Legacy of Simone de Beauvoir

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: The legacy of Simone de Beauvoir has yet to be properly assessed and explored. The 50th anniversary of the publication of The Second Sex inspired this volume which brings together philosophers and literary critics, some of whom are well known for their books on Beauvoir (Bauer, Le Doeuff, Moi), others new to Beauvoir studies though long familiar with her work (Grosholz, Imbert, James, Stevenson, Wilson). One aim of this collection is to encourage greater recognition of Beauvoir`s philosophical writings through systematic reflection on their place in the canon and on her methods. The Second Sex played a central role in the profound shift in philosophy`s self-understanding that took place in the latter half of the twentieth century, and today offers new problems for reflection and novel means for appropriating older texts. Its reflective iconoclasm can be compared to that of Descartes` Meditations, its enormous, directly discernible impact on our social world invites comparison with… [detailed...]

The Legacy of Tiananmen: China in Disarray

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: In The Legacy of Tiananmen, James A. R. Miles asks whether senior leader Deng Xiaoping`s gamble that prosperity would bring stability to China has worked or whether, instead, the country`s economic transformation is fueling instability. The author, who was the BBC`s Beijing correspondent from 1988 to 1994, argues that China today remains at least as unpredictable and volatile as it was at the outset of the Tiananmen Square protests. On the basis of extensive interviews with officials, ordinary citizens, and intellectuals, the author concludes that China in the late 1990s is a country deeply unsure of its future. Politicians and public alike are asking themselves whether China is emerging as a new economic superpower with globalinfluence to match, or if it is heading toward the chaos they so much fear. In the coming years, the answer to this question will have major implications for the outside world. With a population four times that of the former Soviet… [detailed...]

The Legacy of a Singular Life: Hazel Almeda Boulton: Collected Poems and Prose

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Legacy of a Singular Life is a compilation of the poetry, essays and stories of Miss H. Almeda Boulton. If she loved anything it was nature: the innocence of trees, the joy of the bird, the mischief of a squirrel, the mystery of weather, the history of the rock or mountains and seas. She lived her life watching, recording what she saw into her quick, inquisitive mind. Her poetry relates her observations without the frills of romanticism or obscurity and rings with a clear truth. Circumstances set her apart from relationships she craved. Those few she regarded as enduring were taken from her at various times in her life. Her strict independence was founded upon the realization that only one person was completely and absolutely trustworthy: herself. This was not a selfish condition. It was all she knew. She would be amazed to know her writings are of interest. There is much to learn from them and her thoughts and philosophies are valuable lessons to be taught to… [detailed...]

The Legacy of the Siege of Leningrad, 1941-1995

2006 y.
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
Description: The siege of Leningrad constituted one of the most dramatic episodes of World War II, one that individuals and the state began to commemorate almost immediately. Official representations of `heroic Leningrad` omitted and distorted a great deal. Nonetheless, survivors struggling to cope with painful memories often internalized, even if they did not completely accept, the state`s myths, and they often found their own uses for the state`s monuments. Tracing the overlap and interplay of individual memories and fifty years of Soviet mythmaking, the book contributes to understandings of both the power of Soviet identities and the de-legitimizing potential of the Soviet Union`s chief legitimizing myths. Because besieged Leningrad blurred the boundaries between the largely male battlefront and the predominantly female home front, it offers a unique vantage point for a study of the gendered dimensions of the war experience, urban space, individual memory, and public commemoration. … [detailed...]

She is married to Marcellus, marking the young man with the Emperor`s favour, but some disagree with the match. Powerful rivals engineer crisis and conspiracy. These events are seen through the eyes of Curtius Rufus, ex-centurion, gambler, and a man dissatisfied with life.

The Legend Of John Wilkes Booth: Myth, Memory, And A Mummy (Cultureamerica)

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionA deformed thumb, a neck scar from a stage accident, and a broken left leg, the result of a dramatic leap. These were the telltale markings that for decades identified a sideshow attraction as the supposed body of John Wilkes Booth. They persuaded onlookers that Lincoln`s assassin was not killed in 1865 but survived the assault on Garrett`s barn to live on as a fugitive for thirty years afterwards. As Wyatt Evans shows, some popular stories, no matter how weird and improbable, simply refuse to die. Evans recounts how a mummified corpse came to embody the romantic image of the assassin and the legend of his survival. He traces the legend`s development in the weeks following the assassination to the appearance of the `Booth Mummy,` theremains of an Oklahoma drifter embalmed in 1903 and displayed in carnival sideshows throughout the West. He assesses the political and ideological motivations in both Southern and Northern cultures that made proliferation of the legend… [detailed...]

Description: Con-way Inc., a $4.7 billion motor freight transportation and logistics company, traces its heritage from 1929, when industry pioneer Leland James founded an intercity trucking company in Portland, Oregon. Initially named Consolidated Truck Lines, this company grew from a one-truck operation into one of the largest long-haul carriers in the United States by the early 1980s, and became one of the few freight transportation firms to originate in the West and successfully expand eastward. In 1983, three regional, less-than-truckload (LTL) freight companies Con-Way Central Express, Con-Way Western Express, and eventually Con-Way Eastern Express emerged to challenge the industry with a surprising nonunion presence. These beginnings laid the foundation for one of the most successful short-haul market trucking enterprises. Con-way s exponential growth included long-haul trucking, short-haul trucking, airfreight forwarding, ocean shipping, and logistics solutions. Not surprisingly,… [detailed...]
