Twenties Girl

2009 y.
Publisher: The Dial Press
Description: Lara Lington has always had an overactive imagination, but suddenly that imagination seems to be in overdrive. Normal professional twenty-something young women don`t get visited by ghosts. Or do they? When the spirit of Lara`s great-aunt Sadie-a feisty, demanding girl with firm ideas about fashion, love, and the right way to dance-mysteriously appears, she has one last request: Lara must find a missing necklace that had been in Sadie`s possession for more than seventy-five years, and Sadie cannot rest without it. Lara, on the other hand, has a number of ongoing distractions. Her best friend and business partner has run off to Goa, her start-up company is floundering, and she`s just been dumped by the `perfect` man. Sadie, however, could care less. Lara and Sadie make a hilarious sparring duo, and at first it seems as though they have nothing in common. But as the mission to find Sadie`s necklace leads to intrigue and a new romance for Lara, these very different… [detailed...]

Twentieth Century Caribbean Literature

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Structured around readings of `critical moments` in the literary history of the Anglophone Caribbean, this book examines: *what it is that we read when we approach Caribbean Literature *how it is that we read it and *what critical, ideological and historical pressures may have shaped our choices and approaches. It is, then, in part a historiography of Caribbean literary history and criticism, and in part a supplement to that history. The author explores new textual peepholes, different critical approaches and alternative moments that allow us to re-examine the way in which twentieth-century Caribbean literature in English may be read and understood from a point at the beginning of the twenty-first century. In its discussions of the issues and debates about cultural politics, ethnicity, gender and sexuality, Twentieth Century Caribbean Literature makes important interventions in the current configuration of Caribbean literary criticism and history.

Twentieth-Century American Fashion (Dress, Body Culture)

Description: Book Description Americans began the twentieth century standing in Europe`s sartorial shadow, yet ended by outfitting the world in blue jeans, T-shirts and sneakers. How did this come about? What changes in American culture were reflected in fashion?What role did popular culture play? This important overview of American fashion in the twentieth century considers how Americans went from imitating British and French fashion to developing their own sense of style. It examines such influences on dress as class, jazz and hip hop, war, the space race, movies, television and sports. Further, the book shows how gender, psychology, advertising, public policy, shifting family values, the American design movement and expertise in mass production profoundly influenced an American style that has been exported across the globe.

Twentieth-Century German Poetry: An Anthology

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: This groundbreaking anthology will serve as the standard for years to come. Editor Michael Hofmann has assembled brilliant translations of the major German poets, from Rilke and Brecht to Durs Grunbein and Jan Wagner, in an approachable, readable, and endlessly interesting collection. Here we find poetry as a living counter-force to socio-political reality, poetry of dissent and fear and protest, poetry of private griefs and musics. From the subtlety and elegance of Brecht, to the extraordinary jargon-glooms of Gottfried Benn, to the oblique and straightforward responses to the country`s villainous history, to the bitter, cleansed, and haunted poetry of the postwar years, the anthology ends with a reunified country looking at itself and its neighbors in new ways. This is an essential and timely collection of verse from a tumultuous, violent, tragic, and hopeful century, written in the language of those who were at the heart of the matter. [detailed...]

The stories told here are of people using what they had, setting to work to remedy these conditions, and doing so successfully. At a time of growing concern for the environment both locally and globally, theirs is a story certain to inform and inspire the next generation of conservation leaders. [detailed...]

Twentieth-Century Spain: Politics and Society in Spain 1898-1998 (European History in Perspective)

Publisher: —
Description: Today, Spain is a modern society with an important profile in the European Union. This image contrasts strikingly with the reality of Spain one hundred years ago. After losing almost all her overseas empire in 1898, Spain faced the new century handicapped by international isolation, a backward economy, and a stagnant and elitist political system. This book tells the gripping story of Spain`s long and often painful struggle towards modernity. During this period, the country has seen two monarchies, one republic, two dictatorships and one of the bloodiest civil wars in Europe`s recent history. The author provides a comprehensive, thorough and detailed analysis of Spain`s political, social and economic evolution throughout this century, examining the crisis and collapse of clientelist politics and the attempts at reform during the inter-war years through military dictatorship and progressive republic, the Nationalist victory and Franco`s authoritarian rule, the dismantlement of the… [detailed...]

Twenty Million New Customers: Understanding Gay Men`s Consumer Behavior (Haworth Gay &, Lesbian Studies)

Publisher: —
Description: In a world in which we are constantly bombarded by advertisements and commercials for everything from the fastest car to the lowest-fat cookie, it is no surprise that personal identity is often linked to consumerism. But is it always true that we are what we buy? And what does this mean for gay men, who have been targeted as prime consumers by companies selling just about everything--vodka, sportswear, dining-room tables, and more? Twenty Million New Customers! is a fascinating look at the buyinghabits and motivations of 44 gay men. While other studies have focused on the role of income in gay-male buying patterns, author Steven Kates is far more interested in exploring how his subjects` sense of identity and self-presentation affect their consumer habits. The results are always surprising--some men buy certain brands or styles to `look` gay, others to appear `less gay`--and remind us of the diversity of gay male culture, as well as how consumerism and the identities of many… [detailed...]
