Tropical Design

2007 y.
Publisher: daab
Description: Tropical Design is not an established architectural style, but a collective description of architecture and interior design in tropical countries, designed by architects from around the equator. The term often calls to mind the association of an island paradise which is an interpretation by the Western world and the tourism industry: A bamboo hut under palm trees, white sandy beaches, crystal clear water and rattan furniture situated on a spacious terrace. However, the tropical architecture presented in this book is more than that. Формат: 17,5 см х 23,5 см. [detailed...]

Tropical Fish: Stories Out Of Entebbe (Awp Award Series in Short Fiction)

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book Description`Tropical Fish` is a collection of linked short stories that explore the coming of age of three African sisters. Introspective and personal, the stories reveal the unexpected ambiguities of the young women`s lives. The setting is the lushbeauty of Uganda and the background is the aftermath of Idi Amin`s dictatorship. But even in such trying circumstances, the stories show that people everywhere face the same basic human struggle to understand themselves, their world, and their place in it. Each story develops the theme of exploration and discovery as the sisters mature and their interior and exterior lives expand. The youngest sister, Christine, becomes aware at an early age of the bittersweet dynamics of family love and later grapples with romantic and erotic, if problematic, love. Her explorations lead her across racial lines, when she has an affair with a British expatriate in the title story. What is initially an act of curiosity brings forth questions of… [detailed...]

Tropical Fish: Tales From Entebbe

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: In her fiction debut, Doreen Baingana follows a Ugandan girl as she navigates the uncertain terrain of adolescence. Set mostly in pastoral Entebbe with stops in the cities Kampala and Los Angeles, Tropical Fish depicts the reality of life for Christine Mugisha and her family after Idi Amin’s dictatorship. Three of the eight chapters are told from the point of view of Christine’s two older sisters, Patti, a born-again Christian who finds herself starving at her boarding school, and Rosa, a free spirit who tries to “magically” seduce one of her teachers. But the star of Tropical Fish is Christine, whom we accompany from her first wobbly steps in high heels, to her encounters with the first-world conveniences and alienation of America, to her return home to Uganda. As the Mugishas cope with Uganda’s collapsing infrastructure, they also contend with the universal themes of family cohesion, sex and relationships, disease, betrayal,… [detailed...]

Tropical Resorts

2001 y.
Publisher: Page One
Description: Mass tourism has become one of the most highly developed and fastest growing industries. This lavishly photographed book examines, albeit selectively, the rise and rise of resort architecture in Southeast Asia. Many of these sumptuous enclaves, designed for an unabashedly hedonistic lifestyle, have an enigmatic presence in the pristine environments in which they are located. Like tectonic mirages in exotic sites, these sybaritic havens are both theatrical and stage set-like, exuding a blissful serenity and meditative quality. The book is the first to showcase the burgeoning variety of these beguiling resorts. The architectural resolution, based on traditional skills, invariably necessitates the involvement of traditional craftsmen. The result is usually an exquisitely well-crafted resort that is a tribute to timeless craftsmanship and fine artisanry. Although some are besotted with nostalgia and couched in the plaintive terms of `tradition` and `identity`, many offer a… [detailed...]

Tropical Retreats: The Poetics Place

Description: Tropical Asia is one of the culturally richest regions of the world. This lavishly photographed book is a sequel to the highly successful Tropical Architecture and Interiors (1994). It continues in its celebration, albeit selectively, of sensual qualities found in the tactile buildings of the region. The architecture of the tropics is indeed a delightful synthesis of simple materiality, consummate craftsmanship and rich moods. Many of these exclusive enclaves and private retreats, designed for an unabashedly hedonistic contemporary lifestyle, are a poetic response to the tropical climate. Others are inspired by a reverence for the unique traditions as well as the pristine environments in which they are located. The architects` appreciation of climatic and cultural determinants, as well as their awareness of working in a specific spatial and temporal environment, are strong and confident. The plethora of multi-referential architecture, with their tactile corporeality, also… [detailed...]

Caetano Veloso
Tropical Truth: A Story of Music and Revolution in Brazil

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionInadequately described as the John Lennon or the Bob Dylan of his country, Caetano Veloso has virtually personified Brazilian music for thirty-five years. Now, in his long-awaited memoir, he tells the heroic story of how, in the late sixties, he and a group of friends from the Northeastern state of Bahia created tropicalismo, the movement that shook Brazilian culture--and civic order--to its foundations and pushed a nation then on the margins of world politics and economics into the pop avant-garde. Tropical Truth begins with a childhood in the Bahian hinterland, where Caetano (as Brazilians of all ages now call him) first heard not only the musical traditions of his own country and her Latin neighbors, but also the giants of postwar American song: Frank Sinatra, Ray Charles, Chet Baker, to name but a few. While teenagers in America would soon be enthralled by the primal (and commercial) beat of rock’n’roll, in Brazil it was bossa nova,… [detailed...]

This is the story of two architects who went troppo, but in doing so, found another state. For them it meant becoming acclimatised, not going off at all, but understanding the place. Going troppo was revealing?even enlightening?and it would provide the basis for a new practice of architecture in Australia?s Northern Territory. [detailed...]

Trotsky: A Biography

2009 y.
Publisher: Macmillan Publishers Limited
Description: Revolutionary icon, cosmopolitan, theorist, leader, writer, lover, philosopher, enemy, Jew, husband, father and hunted victim, Leon Trotsky led a brilliant life in extraordinary times. He was an immensely colourful and complex character who played a pivotal role in the creation of the USSR, but who has recently been overlooked in comparison to fellow Soviet leaders. Now, in this gripping new biography, award-winning historian Robert Service - author of Lenin and Stalin - portrays the third figure in his revolutionary `triptych`. Born the son of a wealthy farmer in southern Ukraine in 1879, the young Marxist writer and agitator came to prominence in the 1905 revolutionary crisis and co-organized the October 1917 Revolution. Trotsky was at the heart of the early Soviet regime with Lenin. Theirs was a close partnership despite personal and political differences. Trotsky was the founder of the Red Army and an original member of the Politburo. After Lenin`s death in 1924, Trotsky… [detailed...]

Yet despite being identified as Lenin`s obvious successor, Trotsky was out-manoeuvered by Stalin. In the years that followed, he developed the first systematic critique of Stalin`s dictatorship. In 1929, he and his wife were forced out of Russia, moving from Turkey, to France, and finally to Mexico, where he was brutally assassinated by a Spanish communist in 1940. Формат: 13 см х 20 см.

Trouble in Mind : Poems

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionWith Trouble in Mind, her long-awaited third collection, Lucie Brock-Broido has written her most exceptional poems to date. There is a new clarity to her work, a disquieting transparency, even in the midst of the wild thickets of language for which she is known. A poet “at the border of her own allegory,” Brock-Broido searches for a lexicon adequate to the extremities of experience–a quest that is as capricious as it is uncompromising. In the process, she reveals,unsparingly, things as they are. In “Pamphlet on Ravening” she recalls, “I was a hunger artist once, as well. / My bones had shone. / I had had rapture on my side.” The book is laced with sequences: haunted, odd self-portraits, a succession of poems provoked by discarded titles by Wallace Stevens, an intermittent series of fractured and beguiling lyrics that she variously refers to as fragments, leaflets, and apologues.
