Walking Dickensian London: Twenty-five Original Walks Through London`s Victorian Quarters (Interlink Walking Guides)

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionCharles Dickens and London are inextricably linked. The world-famous English writer lived in London for much of his life and is buried in Westminster Abbey. And it was London and its inhabitants that provided Dickens with the inspiration for so many of his works. Walking Dickensian London allows you to visit the locations mentioned in his works and to see the development of Victorian London. Additional routes offer an escape to Cobham or Rochester for a longer country stroll and to discover more about the places where Dickens spent his happy early childhood and retired in his final years. Each walk takes you through an area used as the setting for one or more of Dickens`s novels, from the peaceful, cobble-stoned, and lamp-lit Innsof Court featured in Great Expectations to the slums of Holborn portrayed in Oliver Twist. Along the way, you will see the homes of the Victorian great and good, as well as those of the lowlier characters, who made an impression on… [detailed...]

Walking Dreams: Salvatore Ferragamo, 1898-1960

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Walking Dreams explores the life and work of the legendary Italian shoe designer, an artist who revolutionized footwear by introducing new styles and innovative materials that called up associations with furniture, domestic objects and radical architecture. Ferragamo`s work was always experimental, from cork wedges made from Italian wine-stoppers to stiletto heels, both of which he invented, to towering platforms in pressed and rounded layers, sometimes sculpted or painted, sometimes decorated with gems or shockingly tiny mirror mosaics. Over the years, Ferragamo patented systems for making leather substitutes, systems for producing raffia or jersey uppers, heels made of transparent bakelite, and wooden soles held together with traditional joinery. Walking Dreams includes texts on the historical, artistic, social and erotic elements of Ferragamo`s work, as well as 80 mind-boggling portraits of his most radical and influential pieces, all of which were selected from… [detailed...]

Steven Dudley
Walking Ghosts: Murder and Guerrilla Politics in Colombia

2006 y.
Publisher: Routledge
Description: Dudley has written for many national periodicals, and his dispatches from Colombia have been heard on National Public Radio. His five years in that war-, drug-, and assassin-torn country are fodder for this extremely revealing volume of reportage. Infinite patience and concentration will be needed to navigate the author`s encyclopedic exposition. Careful readers, though, are rewarded with a cast of characters so colorful that if the venue were shifted to the U.S., they could only reside in New Orleans. A country with one-seventh the population of the U.S. experiences some 30,000 murders per year, 75 political assassinations per week, and 10 kidnappings per day. (Kidnapping in order to elicit funding for political fronts has been perfected to a high art.) So deadly are the country`s politics that the author had to flee the country and still fears for his life. But he was impelled to chronicle the story anyway in this thrilling and informative read. Includes impromptu photographs that… [detailed...]

Much of Camden`s quaint charm would be lost without the Regent`s Canal, and further out in the suburbs the Wandle, Lea and Brent rivers are well worth discovering. Walking London`s Docks, Rivers and Canals is an exploration, in 22 carefully researched walks, of London`s varied water-ways in all their glory. Gilly Cameron-Cooper`s engaging text is steeped in historical detail, and is accompanied by clear and detailed route maps and enchanting photographs. Формат: 15 см x 21 см. [detailed...]

Walking Macao, Reading the Baroque

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: `Walking Macao, Reading the Baroque` is a guide-book with a difference. It brings to the reader the art and architecture of Macao, and the baroque treasures that make the territory so attractive. Lavishly illustrated, `Walking Macao, Reading the Baroque` helps the reader who wants to understand the complex history and layout of the city, as a Portuguese ex-colony founded in the sixteenth century, and as a modern Chinese city. As the authors consider the special nature of Macao`s baroque, they discuss whether its Chinese architecture - its temples and gardens and houses - are also baroque, and what is the importance of the new casino architecture, much of which imitates `the baroque` in its postmodern character. Weaving discussion of Camoes` epic poem, `The Lusiads`, about Portuguese imperialism, and Chinnery`s paintings into the exploration of Macao`s present buildings, the book contains 125 original photographs that add to the unique perspective that it provides for the thoughtful… [detailed...]

Publisher: —
Description: Without a map, navigate by the stars. Susan Tweit began learning this lesson as a young woman diagnosed with an autoimmune disease that was predicted to take her life in two to five years. Offered no clear direction for getting well through conventional medicine, Tweit turned to the natural world that was both her solace and her field of study as a plant ecologist. Drawing intuitive connections between the natural processes and cycles she observed and the functions of her body, Tweit not only learned healthier ways of living but also discovered a great truth--love can heal. In this beautifully written, moving memoir, she describes how love of the natural world, of her husband and family, and of life itself literally transformed and saved her own life.In tracing the arc of her life from young womanhood to middle age, Tweit tells stories about what silence and sagebrush, bird bones and sheep dogs, comets, death, and one crazy Englishman have to teach us about living. She celebrates… [detailed...]

John Evangelist Walsh
Walking Shadows : Orson Welles, William Randolph Hearst, and Citizen Kane (Ray &, Pat Browne Book)

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book Description Walking Shadows dramatically dissects the wild, high-profile battle between newspaper tycoon William Randolph Hearst and famous young actor, director, and filmmaker Orson Welles over Welles’s groundbreaking film Citizen Kane . In 1940 and 1941 it became the center of public controversy and scandal, especially in Hollywood where Welles’s own stark honesty and blatant self-confidence heightened the drama. CitizenKane portrayed the ruthless career of an all-powerful magnate bearing (not accidentally) a striking resemblance to Hearst, who immediately tried to kill the picture. John Evangelist Walsh here illuminates the conflict between these two outsize personalities and for the first time brings Hearst’s vengeful anti-Kane campaign to the fore. Walsh provides thorough documentation, supplemental notes, and an extended bibliography. [detailed...]

Walking With Legends: Barry Martyn`s New Orleans Jazz Odyssey

Publisher: Louisiana State University Press
Description: Drummer, record producer, bandleader, jazz researcher, and cigar-chomping raconteur Barry Martyn is a New Orleans original who happens to have been born in England. Implausible though this may seem, it makes perfect sense to members of the New Orleans traditional jazz community, who view themselves as an extended family based on merit as much as nativity. For more than fifty years, Martyn has been a fixture in the Crescent City`s jazz scene, laying down the beat for generations of celebrated musicians and avidly promoting the city`s unique musical heritage around the world. In `Walking With Legends: Barry Martyn`s New Orleans Jazz Odyssey` - based on over forty hours of interviews with Martyn by fellow British jazz enthusiast and author Mick Burns - Martyn reflects upon his life in jazz and offers a window into a musical world that few have understood, let alone witnessed from the inside. Like thousands of teenagers in Europe in the 1950s, Martyn espoused New Orleans jazz with… [detailed...]

Walking in the Way of Peace: Quaker Pacifism in the Seventeenth Century

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: This book investigates the historical context, meaning, and expression of early Quaker pacifism in England and its colonies. Weddle focuses primarily on one historical moment--King Philip`s War, which broke out in 1675 between English settlers and Indians in New England. Among the settlers were Quakers, adherents of the movement that had gathered by 1652 out of the religious and social turmoil of the English Civil War. King Philip`s War confronted the New England Quakers with the practical need to define the parameters of their peace testimony --to test their principles and to choose how they would respond to violence. The Quaker governors of Rhode Island, for example, had to reconcile their beliefs with the need to provide for the common defense. Others had to reconcile their peace principles with such concerns as seeking refuge in garrisons, collecting taxes for war, carrying guns for self-defense as they worked in the fields, and serving in the militia. Indeed, Weddle has… [detailed...]
