Janet Ore
The Seattle Bungalow: People And Houses, 1900-1940 (A Samuel &, Althea Stroum Book)

2006 y.
Publisher: Ч
Description: In the early twentieth century, the appearance of new houses across the United States shifted dramatically. Rejecting the elaborate decoration and complexity of Victorian homes, these new houses featured open, parlorless interiors and a minimalist aesthetic, radiating an aura of warmth, coziness, and naturalness. Nowhere were such residences more evident than in West Coast cities, especially Seattle, where explosive growth generated entire neighborhoods of this new house type--the bungalow. It was the nation`s first modern home, and it established the essential characteristics of popular housing for the rest of the twentieth century. In The Seattle Bungalow, Janet Ore modifies the common notion that architectural change flows only from the design elite--the architects, domestic reformers, and planners who advocate for changes in domestic architecture--and argues that ordinary people played a crucial role in creating the bungalow. Through their growing power as consumers,Е [detailed...]

The Second Age of Reptiles

Ч y.
Publisher: Ч
Description: This book reveals new discoveries about shocking similarities between biological species and economic and political species. Using insightful analogies, the book takes you on an exciting journey in which you will explore the hidden nature of current economic and political species. You will discover that Republicans are cold-blooded reptiles. And Democrats are just a different breed of reptiles hibernating under a big government. The story is not entirely gloomy though. There is a third group of species, the Independents, Reformists, Libertarions and Greenists who are evolving to become warm-blooded mammals. Once any of these species reaches that status, the Second Age of Reptiles will end, and the Second Age of Mammals will dawn, offering wonderful opportunities for all. [detailed...]

The Second Bill of Rights: FDR`s Unfinished Revolution and Why We Need It More Than Ever

2006 y.
Publisher: Ч
Description: In 1944, Franklin Delano Roosevelt gave a State of the Union Address that was arguably the greatest political speech of the twentieth century. In it, Roosevelt grappled with the definition of security in a democracy, concluding that `unless there is security here at home, there cannot be lasting peace in the world.` To help ensure that security, he proposed a `Second Bill of Rights`--economic rights that he saw as necessary to political freedom. Many of the great legislative achievements of the past sixty years stem from Roosevelt`s vision. Using this speech as a launching point, Cass R. Sunstein shows how these rights are vital to the continuing security of our nation. This is an ambitious, sweeping book that argues for a new vision of FDR, of constitutional history, and our current political scene. `Eminently readable and thought-provoking, Sunstein`s The Second Bill of Rights is part history, part theory, and part survey of social-rights jurisprudence around the globe.`Е [detailed...]

The Second Century: Reconnecting Customer and Value Chain through Build-to-Order, Moving beyond Mass and Lean Production in the Auto Industry

Ч y.
Publisher: Ч
Description: As the auto industry moves into its second century, it suffers from low margins and a sclerotic value chain that cannot evolve with customer desires. Inventories of many weeks pile up on dealer lots and at distribution centers around the world while executives applaud marginal improvements in factory efficiency. Value streams based on Henry Ford`s mass-production model from the early 1900s do not deliver the strategic flexibility that is needed in today`s increasingly competitive and demanding market. With billions of potential product variations, customers still compromise by selecting from a limited number of products sitting at dealerships or at distribution centers. Those customers who dare insist on a specific variation not only wait weeks but also pay extra for the privilege of telling vehicle manufacturers what they actually want. In The Second Century , Matthias Holweg and Frits Pil provide a comprehensive look at today`s dysfunctionalЕ [detailed...]

Jonathan Phillips
The Second Crusade: Extending the Frontiers of Christendom

2008 y.
Publisher: Yale University Press
Description: The Second Crusade (1145-1149) was an extraordinarily bold attempt to overcome unbelievers on no less than three fronts. Crusader armies set out to defeat Muslims in the Holy Land and in Iberia as well as pagans in northeastern Europe. But, to the shock and dismay of a society raised on the triumphant legacy of the First Crusade, only in Iberia did they achieve any success. This book, the first in 140 years devoted to the Second Crusade, fills a major gap in our understanding of the Crusades and their importance in medieval European history. Historian Jonathan Phillips draws on the latest developments in Crusade studies to cast new light on the origins, planning, and execution of the Second Crusade, some of its more radical intentions, and its unprecedented ambition. With original insights into the legacy of the First Crusade and the roles of Pope Eugenius III and King Conrad III of Germany, Phillips offers the definitive work on this neglected Crusade that, despite its failedЕ [detailed...]

The Second Home Book: The Can-Do, How-to, Get-Through Guide

2008 y.
Publisher: St. Martin`s Griffin
Description: Oates exercises her experience, her detail-oriented nature and a good dose of humor to confront the challenges of managing multiple homes at once. Aware that the purpose of most second homes is fun and relaxation, Oates stresses a casual and comfy approach to decorating, housekeeping and entertaining - without losing focus on the fact that running a home away from home takes a certain amount of undivided attention. Apart from the obvious must-dos, such as decorating, securing and managing utilities and implementing a system for closing up and caring for the home during off-season, she addresses the niggling things new or potential second-home owners might not have considered. For example, finding dependable craftsmen, a local hairstylist and a dog groomer can be difficult when you`re away from the city or suburbs. Some of Oates`s tips are gold - like how to keep a kitchen stocked so that you can immediately fix a decent meal upon arriving, or how to deal tactfully with people who wantЕ [detailed...]

Not since the advent of the telephone and telegraph in the nineteenth century has information technology changed daily life so radically. We are in the midst of what Gerald Brock calls a second information revolution. Brock traces the complex history of this revolution, from its roots in World War II through the bursting bubble of the Internet economy. As he explains, the revolution sprang from an interdependent series of technological advances, entrepreneurial innovations, and changes to public policy. Innovations in radar, computers, and electronic components for defense projects translated into rapid expansion in the private sector, but some opportunities were blocked by regulatory policies. The contentious political effort to accommodate new technology while protecting beneficiaries of the earlierЕ [detailed...]

Description: `I want to walk out of Target and leave Blair there, wailingЕ. Nice people work at Target. Surely someone would take her home and care for her and buy her pretty things` - so begins Vicki Glembocki`s brutally honest yet hilarious memoir of her agonizing transition into motherhood. Why agonizing? Because no one told her how tough it would be. Finally, Glembocki lays out the truth about those first months with baby: the certainty that you`re doing everything wrong, the desire to kill your husband, your mother, your dog, the struggle to balance who you were with whom you`ve become - a mother. Unlike any other book on motherhood, Glembocki breaks the New Mother Code of Silence, proving that `maternal bliss` is not innate, but learned. Funny and wise, she connects with new moms on a shockingly intimate level, letting them know that they are not alone. [detailed...]

Description: In The Second Self , Sherry Turkle looks at the computer not as a `tool,` but as part of our social and psychological lives, she looks beyond how we use computer games and spreadsheets to explore how the computer affects our awareness of ourselves, of one another, and of our relationship with the world. `Technology,` she writes, `catalyzes changes not only in what we do but in how we think.` First published in 1984, The Second Self is still essential reading as a primer in the psychology of computation. This twentieth anniversary edition allows us to reconsider two decades of computer culture--to (re)experience what was and is most novel in our new media culture and to view our own contemporary relationship with technology with fresh eyes. Turkle frames this classic work with a new introduction, a new epilogue, and extensive notes added to the original text.

As in the first novel, four teen girls who have known each other since birth (their moms shared a pregnancy aerobics class) further forge their bond of friendship through a pair of thrift-store jeans that magically, impossibly, fits them all perfectly. Like the summer before, Carmen, Bridget, Tibby, and Lena share their individual adventures with the Pants collective, creating an engaging, kaleidoscopic narrative of four voices. This summer, Tibby attends a film program in Virginia and Bridget (Bee), whose mother has died, impulsively jets off to Alabama to get reacquainted with her estranged grandmother. Lovely Lena tries to protect herself from the heartbreak of loving her long-distance Greek god boyfriend Kostos, and Carmen deals (poorly) with her mother dating again and having the nerve toЕ [detailed...]
