Christopher S. Thompson
The Tour de France: A Cultural History

2008 y.
Publisher: University of California Press
Description: In this highly original history of the world`s most famous bicycle race, Christopher S. Thompson, mining previously neglected sources and writing with infectious enthusiasm for his subject, tells the compelling story of the Tour de France from its creation in 1903 to the present. Weaving the words of racers, politicians, Tour organizers, and a host of other commentators together with a wide-ranging analysis of the culture surrounding the event - including posters, songs, novels, films, and media coverage - Thompson links the history of the Tour to key moments and themes in French history. Examining the enduring popularity of Tour racers, Thompson explores how their public images have changed over the past century. A new preface explores the long-standing problem of doping in light of recent scandals. Издание на английском языке. [detailed...]

The Tower of London: The Official Illustrated History

2006 y.
Publisher: Merrell
Description: The Tower of London is one of the most visited historic monuments in the world, conjuring up images of towering battlements, arms and armour, ravens, the Crown Jewels, Yeoman Warders, imprisonment, torture and death. The history of the Tower and its buildings is a vast, fascinating and complex subject, intertwined with the history of England, its government, its kings and queens, its people and its institutions. The myths that surround the Tower`s history reflect this and are of interest in themselves, but the truth - as so often - is stranger than fiction. The foundation of the Tower of London took place as a direct result of one of the most remarkable and important events in European history: the conquest by the Normans of the rich and powerful kingdom of England. Securing the country`s most important city was an immediate priority, and within days of his coronation William the Conqueror had ordered fortifications to be built to control its `vast and fickle population`.

William Butler Yeats
The Tower: A Facsimile Edition

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: The first edition of W. B. Yeats`s The Tower appeared in bookstores in London on Valentine`s Day, 1928. His English publisher printed just 2,000 copies of this slender volume of twenty-one poems, priced at six shillings. The book was immediately embraced by book buyers and critics alike, and it quickly became a bestseller. Subsequent versions of the volume made various changes throughout, but this Scribner facsimile edition reproduces exactly that seminal first edition as it reached its earliest audience in 1928, adding an introduction and notes by esteemed Yeats scholar Richard J. Finneran. Written between 1912 and 1927, these poems (`Sailing to Byzantium,` `Leda and the Swan,` and `Among School Children` among them) are today considered some of the best and most famous in the entire Yeats canon. As Virginia Woolf declared in her unsigned review of this collection, `Mr. Yeats has never written more exactly and more passionately.` [detailed...]

Description: As part of a bilateral commitment to focus on winning World War II, over 100,000 contracts were signed between 1943 and 1945 to recruit and transport Mexican workers to the United States for employment on the railroads. A little-known companion to the widely criticized agricultural bracero program, the railroad bracero program corresponded in its implementation more closely to the original intent of both governments than did its agricultural counterpart. In spite of pressure from the railroad industry tocontinue the program indefinitely, the U.S. government was adamant about terminating it on schedule and returning the workers to Mexico. The railroad bracero program still stands as the only historical example of a binational migration agreement betweenthe two countries that was executed and concluded in the spirit of the original negotiations. The abuses commonly associated with the agricultural program were controlled in the railroad program by the organization of international… [detailed...]

Description: As the need to confront unplanned growth increases, planners, policymakers, and citizens are scrambling for practical tools and examples of successful and workable approaches. Growth management initiatives are underway in the U.S. at all levels, but many American `success stories` provide only one piece of the puzzle. To find examples of a holistic approach to dealing with sprawl, one must turn to models outside of the United States. In Green Urbanism, Timothy Beatley explains what planners and local officials in the United States can learn from the sustainable city movement in Europe. The book draws from the extensive European experience, examining the progress and policies of twenty-five of the most innovative cities in eleven European countries, which Beatley researched and observed in depth during a year-long stay in the Netherlands. Chapters examine: the sustainable cities movement in Europe examples and ideas of different housing and living options transit… [detailed...]
