Vietnam Zippos: American Soldiers` Engravings and Stories (1965-1973)

2007 y.
Publisher: University of Chicago Press
Description: In 1965, journalist Morley Safer followed the United States Marines on a search and destroy mission into Cam Ne. When the Marines he accompanied reached the village, they ordered the civilians there to evacuate their homes - grass huts whose thatched roofs they set ablaze with Zippo lighters. Safer`s report on the event soon aired on CBS and was among the first to paint a harrowing portrait of the War in Vietnam. LBJ responded to the segment furiously, accusing Safer of having `shat on the American flag.` For the first time since World War II, American boys in uniform had been portrayed as murderers instead of liberators. Our perception of the war - and the Zippo lighter - would never be the same. But as this stunning book attests, the Zippo was far more than an instrument of death and destruction. For the American soldiers who wielded them, they were a vital form of social protest as well. Vietnam Zippos showcases the engravings made by U.S. soldiers on their lighters during… [detailed...]

Vietnam: A Guide to Economic and Political Developments (Guides to Economic and Political Developments in Asia)

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Winning the Vietnam War proved easier than winning the peace. Since 1975, the reunited country has faced the problem of how a poorer, planned economy in which state ownership and control dominated could successfully absorb a more advanced, capitalist economy. In addition, the collapse of communism and the end of the Cold War heralded a new age in Vietnams internal and external relations. This book traces developments since the end of the Vietnam War, including recent economic reforms, the politics of the Communist Party, and the re-establishment of relations with the United States. It provides a comprehensive overview of the current political and economic situation in Vietnam today. [detailed...]

Pietro Masina
Vietnam`s Development Strategies (Routledge Contemporary Southeast Asia Series)

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Taking a developmental approach, this book critically reviews Vietnam`s reform process and shows how the country`s reform agenda is still dominated by a developmental orthodoxy inspired by a post-Washington consensus. The author argues that a wider debate is needed in order to give national policy-makers the full spectrum of alternatives to support well-informed policy decisions. In particular, the book indicates that two issues central for any analysis of the Vietnamese development reform process are substantially underdeveloped in the current scientific debate: the experience of the East Asian developmental state and the question of socialism. Presenting a way of thinking about Vietnam that goes beyond the orthodox, the book sets out the various paradigms through which the Vietnamese economy can be analyzed. This is a welcome addition to the literature and will appeal to both practitioners working in the field and the academic community in Southeast Asian studies, economics… [detailed...]

Description: Penthouses and their luxury apartment counterparts have always had a glamorous history. They speak of prestige, luxury living high in the sky, and of course a certain amount of social elevation. Heiresses, millionaires, media moguls, and movie stars have known of the exclusivity, mystery, sophistication, and symbolism of high-rise living for decades, ever since Marjorie Merriweather Post Hutton commissioned a 54-room triplex on New York`s Fifth Avenue in 1925 with a silver room, a wine room, and cold storage for her furs. Eighty years on, such places have become the ultimate architectural expression of success, or at least inner-urban living at its very best. They also offer some of the most extraordinary views in apartment living. `View from The Top` peeks inside the private spaces of some of the world`s most magnificent penthouses and apartments and offers a rare insight into not only the designs and lifestyles experienced in these palatial `mansions in the sky` but also their… [detailed...]

Coordinating and presenting the character`s movement in three dimensions to convey a specific idea to the audience requires artistic and technical skills, and often a labourious iterative trial-and-error process to get it right. Creating moving camera character animations in 3D is a multi-faceted computer graphics and computer vision problem. Warranting a formal representation of the moving camera, and efficient algorithms to help author the multitude of character poses required for the animation. It is also necessary to deal with issues pertaining to camera and character pose interpolation and visualization of the association between the two.

Views from the Margins: Creating Identities in Modern France

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: What does it mean to be French? What constitutes “Frenchness”? Is it birth, language, attachment to republicanism, adherence to cultural norms? In contemporary France, these questions resonate in light of the large number of non-French and non-European immigrants, many from former French colonies, who have made France home in recent decades. Historically, French identity has long been understood as the product of a centralized state and culture emanating from Paris that was itself central to European history and civilization. Likewise, French identity in terms of class, gender, nationality, and religion mainly has been explained as a strong, indivisible core, against which marginal actors have been defined. This collection of essays offers examples drawn from an imperial history of France that show the power of the periphery to shape diverse and dynamic modern French identities at its center. Each essay explains French identity as a fluid process rather than a category into which… [detailed...]
