Turn the Beat Around : The Secret History of Disco

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book Description A long-overdue paean to the predominant musical form of the 70s and a thoughtful exploration of the culture that spawned it Disco may be the most universally derided musical form to come about in the past forty years. Yet, like its pop cultural peers punk and hip hop, it was born of a period of profound social and economic upheaval. In Turn the Beat Around , critic and journalist Peter Shapiro traces the history of disco music and culture. From the outset, disco was essentially a shotgun marriage between a newly out and proud gay sexuality and the first generation of post-civil rights African Americans, all to the serenade of the recently developed synthesizer. Shapiro maps out these converging influences, as wellas disco`s cultural antecedents in Europe, looks at the history of DJing, explores the mainstream disco craze at it`s apex, and details the long shadow cast by disco`s performers and devotees on today`s musical landscape.

Turnaround: How Carlos Ghosn Rescued Nissan

2003 y.
Publisher: HarperBusiness, HarperCollins Publishers
Description: Not since the days of Lee Iacocca at Chrysler has an auto executive captured the imagination of his industry and the broader business world as Carlos Ghosn of Nissan. Ghosn is responsible for one of the most breathtaking business turnarounds of all time - taking the near-fatally wounded Japanese automaker Nissan from the brink of ruin back to profitability in just two years. His achievement is all the more astonishing because he did it as a Westerner operating in Japan`s closed, tradition-bound business environment. In Turnaround , business journalist David Magee presents the first behind-the-scenes look at Ghosn, his management methods, and his role as the leader of a new generation of global business managers. A Brazilian of Lebanese descent, Ghosn has led companies to success in the United States, South America, France, and now in Japan. Turnaround reveals how he remade Nissan by defying the business and cultural taboos that in the past have… [detailed...]

James Hamilton
Turner &, Italy

2009 y.
Publisher: National Galleries of Scotland
Description: J.M.W.Turner conducted a love affair with Italy throughout his professional life. He was enchanted by its climate, landscapes, architecture, customs and art, and this book explores this complex and enduring relationship. Turner travelled to Italy seven times, and the drawings he made were used as the basis for outstanding oil paintings, exhibited in London and Rome, and watercolours that were engraved and widely distributed. Together they created a seductive and potent view of Italy which has remained popular ever since. James Hamilton, the noted Turner scholar, gives a fascinating and extensive account of the artist`s travels. This is complemented by essays from Christopher Baker (Deputy Director, National Gallery of Scotland), Jacqueline Ridge (Keeper of Conservation, National Galleries of Scotland) and Nicola Moorby (Curator, Tate Britain), which consider the patronage Turner enjoyed, the use he made of sketchbooks, and his technical brilliance as a painter.

Description: After the Cold War, the `Hot War` has made its comeback in Afghanistan and Iraq. Exhuming Kipling`s `Great Game`, we have gone back to the clash between Islam and Christianity. The ghost of the Yellow Peril has been resurrected, the nineteenth-century anti-Darwin debate has been reopened, right-wing governments predominate. It almost seems as if history, tired of the big steps forward it has taken in the past two millennia, has gone into reverse. With his customary sharpness and wit, Eco proposes not so much that we resume a forward march, but at the very least that we cease marching backwards. Формат: 13 см x 19,5 см. [detailed...]

Turning Back

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Turning Back: A Photographic Journal of Re-Exploration is published to coincide with the bicentennial of the Lewis and Clark Expedition. The narrative begins at the Pacific Ocean and moves eastward through what was formerly one of the world`s great rain forests. Photographs at the center of the book report on the forest`s destruction. Elsewhere they trace a search for hope. Two hundred years ago, Lewis and Clark reported finding in the American Northwest a vast forest of ancient evergreens. In Turning Back Robert Adams looks again at the region`s trees, discovering evidence both of America`s failure and of a continuing promise. President Jefferson`s primary charge to Lewis and Clark was to prepare the way for American commerce. Today, historians still speculate about why, upon his return, Lewis lapsed into depression and apparently committed suicide. `Going east,` Adams suggests, `was more difficult than going west.` So then, what is the future?
