Publisher: —
Description: For anyone who loves the old Florida and still has hope for the new `Should be required reading for everyone who calls Florida home.`--Miami Herald `There is a richness and sadness in this book. . . . A museum of Florida`s choicest people, places and monuments.`--Palm Beach Post `Ever wonder what`s the best way to eat a rattlesnake? Puzzled over the origin of the term `Florida Cracker`? Have an interest in alligator wrestling or catfish? Al Burt has some answers for you.`--Forum `Burt`s writing shows a Florida that is vanishing before our eyes. [He] reveals the strange, quirky, charming face of the Sunshine State by writing about catfishermen on Lake Okeechobee, by relating the stories of Florida cowboys who drove free-range cattle across the state and by describing the hardships of a couple who abandoned south Florida for an organic farm in the Panhandle.`--Weekly Planet `Burt grabs the spirit of the Florida that once was, tantalizes us, makes us nostalgic and weaves a bit… [detailed...]

The Tropical Timber Trade Regime (International Political Economy Series)

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: This book explains why international negotiations have not produced a sustainable solution to tropical rainforest degradation. Using an innovative, critical approach to international regimes, the author analyzes the structure and operation of the International Tropical Timber Organization (ITTO). He shows how the timber industry and producing- and consuming-country governments created a blocking alliance that favored developmentalist interests and ideas. The ITTO bolstered this alliance by permitting environmentalists merely to voice, but not negotiate, their concerns. [detailed...]

The Tropics

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Western art has long nurtered an idyllic dream of `the tropics,` absorbing larger cultural longings for exoticism, armchair travel, uninhibited sensuality and the rejection of industrialized civilization. Taking European constructions of tropicality as its point of departure, this volume juxtaposes 200 pre-modern works from Africa, Asia, Oceania and tropical America (from the collections of the Museum of Ethnology in Berlin) with works by 40 contemporary artists from Brazil, South America, Europe, Africa, Australia and Asia, tracing lines of affiliation and critical reflection. These lines are traced through the lenses of such themes as landscape, ancestry, color palette and tropical sounds and musics, themes that have gained particular freight in their association with tropicality. The publication of this volume marks the first time that this complex subject has been broached on such an ambitious scale, making it essential from multiple artistic and anthropological perspectives….

Robert Calderisi
The Trouble With Africa: Why Foreign Aid Isn`t Working

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: While many complain that wealthy nations turn a cold shoulder to the poorest continent, Robert Calderisi exposes the startling degree to which Africas problems come from within. He reveals the shortcomings of foreign aid and debt relief, and proposes his own radical solutions. Readers will be shocked to learn that Africa has steadily lost markets by its own mismanagement, that even capitalist countries are anti-business, that African family values and fatalism are more destructive than tribalism, and that African leaders prey intentionally on Western guilt. This urgent wake-up call is aimed at those who are critical of the U.S. and other rich countries for not doing more to help. Coming from an outspoken high-level official, this is a message that will create intrigue and outrage and spark a timely debate. [detailed...]

Harry Shutt
The Trouble With Capitalism: An Inquiry into the Causes of Global Economic Failure

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: We have grown accustomed to the notions of the end of history and that the current variant of free market capitalism is the only game in town. But how sound are the foundations of the global economy? The remarkable analysis contained in this book forsakes the shibboleths of both the Left and liberal economists to examine the actual behavior--patterns and tendencies--of economic institutions in the OECD countries of the 1980s and 90s. The conclusions are disturbing. The author uncovers profound sources of instability. Low growth has become endemic. There is a chronic surplus of capital. New technology is not solving either of these problems or structural unemployment. Meanwhile, the pursuit of neo-liberal economic orthodoxy by an emasculated state has only worsened the situation and the evidence of social dislocation is all about us. This is a book that must be read by every politician and thinking citizen still harboring illusions about the capacity of mere shifts in policy to… [detailed...]

The Trouble with Computers: Usefulness, Usability, and Productivity

Publisher: —
Description: `Everyone who has ever stood in line as a clerk [and] fussed over a finicky, computerized check-out machine, or wondered why computers seem to complicate life instead of simplifying it, will appreciate Landauer`s cleanly argued and thoroughly readable book.` -- Elizabeth Corcoran, Washington Post Despite enormous investments in computers over the last twenty years, productivity in the very service industries at which they were aimed virtually stagnated everywhere in the world. If computersare not making businesses, organizations, or countries more productive, then why are we spending so much time and money on them? Cutting through a raft of technical data, Thomas Landauer explains and illustrates why computers are in trouble and why massive outlays for computing since 1973 have not resulted in comparable productivity payoffs. Citing some of his own successful research programs, as well as many others, Landauer offers solutions to the problems he describes. While… [detailed...]

The Trouble with Poetry: And Other Poems

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Playfulness, spare elegance, and wit epitomize the poetry of Billy Collins. With his distinct voice and accessible language, America’s two-term Poet Laureate has opened the door to poetry for countless people for whom it might otherwise remain closed. Like the present book’s title, Collins’s poems are filled with mischief, humor, and irony, “Poetry speaks to all people, it is said, but here I would like to address / only those in my own time zone”–but also with quiet observation, intense wonder, and a reverence for the everyday: “The birds are in their trees, / the toast is in the toaster, / and the poets are at their windows. / They are at their windows in every section of the tangerine of earth–the Chinese poets looking up at the moon, / the American poets gazing out / at the pink and blue ribbons of sunrise.” Through simple language, Collins shows that good poetry doesn’t have to be obscure or… [detailed...]

The True Art of Survival

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionTHE TRUE ART OF SURVIVAL is a collection of true stories from the professional and personal life of Dr. Constance Hayden. But as Col. Frank Jones, US Army (Ret.), says in the Foreword, the book `is more than merely interesting. It is also relevant to the rest of us for what it tells us about the human spirit and how one can respond to `catastrophe` of whatever kind.` For professionals, Jones calls the stories `teaching cases` that provide both medical doctors and psychiatrists with lessons to understand better how to help a patient through a traumatic experience all the while respecting the patient`s autonomy. Life indeed generally roughs us all up--to a considerable extent. We never know what life has in store. And that is the power of the stories that Dr. Hayden shares. They truly do inspire us with the resilience of the human spirit in the fact of terrible occurrences. [detailed...]

The True History of Chocolate, Second Edition

2007 y.
Publisher: Thames and Hudson
Description: This delightful and best-selling tale of one of the world`s favorite foods draws upon botany, archaeology, and culinary history to present a complete and accurate history of chocolate. The story begins some 3,000 years ago in the jungles of Mexico and Central America with the chocolate tree, Theobroma Cacao, and the complex processes necessary to transform its bitter seeds into what is now known as chocolate. This was centuries before chocolate was consumed in generally unsweetened liquid form and used as currency by the Maya, and the Aztecs after them. The Spanish conquest of Central America introduced chocolate to Europe, where it first became the drink of kings and aristocrats and then was popularized in coffeehouses. Industrialization in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries made chocolate a food for the masses, and now, in our own time, it has become once again a luxury item. The second edition draws on recent research and genetic analysis to update the… [detailed...]

The Trumps: Three Generations That Built an Empire

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: The story of the three Trumps mirrors America`s transformation from a land of striving immigrants to a world in which the aura of wealth alone can guarantee a fortune. The Trumps begins with a portrait of Donald`s immigrant grandfather, who asa young man built hotels for miners in Alaska during the Klondike gold rush. His son, Fred, took advantage of the New Deal, using government subsidies and loopholes to construct hugely successful housing developments in the 1940s and 1950s. The profits from Fred`s enterprises paved the way for Donald`s roller-coaster ride through the 1980s and 190s into the new century. With his talent for extravagant exaggeration, Donald Trump turned the deal-making know-how of his forebears into an art form. By placing Donald`s much-publicized life within the context of his family, Gwenda Blair adds a new dimension to a glitzy, larger-than-life -- yet ultimately enigmatic -- figure. [detailed...]
