Where Vultures Feast: Shell, Human Rights and Oil

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: On 22 February 1895, a naval force laid siege to Brass, the chief city of the Ijo people of Nembe in Nigeria`s Niger Delta. After severe fighting, the city was razed. More than two thousand people perished in the attack. A hundred years later, the world was shocked by the murder of Ken Saro-Wiwa?writer, political activist, and leader of the Movement for the Survival of the Ogoni People. Again the people of Nembe were locked in a grim life-and-death struggle to safeguard their livelihood from twoforces: a series of corrupt and repressive Nigerian governments and the giant multinational Royal Dutch Shell. Ike Okonta and Oronto Douglas pre-sent a devastating case against the world`s largest oil company, demonstrating how (in contrast to Shell`s public profile) irresponsible practices have degraded agricultural land and left a people destitute. The plunder of the Niger Delta has turned full circle as crude oil has taken the place of palm oil, but the dramatis personae … [detailed...]

Where We Lived: Discovering the Places We Once Called Home

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: The past has left behind only scattered clues that, on their own, provide little insight into how the people of early America lived and the details of their daily lives. The photographs in this book, the deeply informed narrative that accompanies them, and the eyewitness accounts of daily life that the author weaves throughout, provide a fresh perspective on our early American ancestors and the places they called home. This book is about how their houses and their life in them, from the wealthy to the impoverished, from New York City to the small farms and plantations of the South, from coastal fishing towns to the Western frontier of Indiana and Kentucky. The stories focus on the remarkably vivid differences from one part of the country to the next, class and culture, and the realities of everyday life for American families. These stories twine around a wide selection of HABS photographs of early houses, covering the variety and evolutions of house styles -- not by labeling the style… [detailed...]

Where White Horses Gallop

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: It is 1939. England has declared war on Germany. Canada will march beside her. And the lives of five young friends living in the ruggedly beautiful northern highlands of Cape Breton will be changed forever. Three of them enlist with the Cape Breton Highlanders and sail off to war in November 1941: musician Benny Doucet, would-be doctor Calum MacPherson, and fisherman Hector MacDonald. But Calum`s brother Hamish, handicapped and unable to serve, remains at home in Beinn Barra. And Alex MacGreggor, fisherman and poet, refuses to enlist. Alex is in love with the postmistress with the thick ankles, and when the conscription men come for him he hides in a false wall in his mother`s attic. Where White Horses Gallop is a haunting, beautifully written tale of friendship and the trauma of war where emotional bullets riddle the spirit long after the guns in the Arielli Valley and the Delfzijl trenches have grown silent.

Paul Dourish
Where the Action Is: The Foundations of Embodied Interaction (Bradford Books)

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Computer science as an engineering discipline has been spectacularly successful. Yet it is also a philosophical enterprise in the way it represents the world and creates and manipulates models of reality, people, and action. In this book, Paul Dourish addresses the philosophical bases of human-computer interaction. He looks at how what he calls `embodied interaction` -- an approach to interacting with software systems that emphasizes skilled, engaged practice rather than disembodied rationality -- reflects the phenomenological approaches of Martin Heidegger, Ludwig Wittgenstein, and other twentieth-century philosophers. The phenomenological tradition emphasizes the primacy of natural practice over abstract cognition in everyday activity. Dourish shows how this perspective can shed light on the foundational underpinnings of current research on embodied interaction. He looks in particular at how tangible and social approaches to interaction are related, how they can be used to analyze… [detailed...]

As a federal prosecutor, Thornburgh quickly became known as a racket-buster, diligently fighting organized crime and official corruption.

Where the Money Grows and Anatomy of the Bubble

1998 y.
Publisher: Wiley
Description: Hugely popular when it was first published in 1911, and regarded as a classic ever since, Where the Money Grows is an honest, humorous, and richly perceptive tour of Wall Street and its enduring customs, institutions, and characters. The Street, according to author Garet Garrett, is a world populated not only by bulls and bears, but also by `wolves,` `hoodoos,` and `invisibles.` You`ll meet them all in this immensely entertaining and revealing book. Also included is a scintillating article, `Anatomy of the Bubble,` originally published in the Saturday Evening Post. In piercing prose, Garrett unmasks the `debt` bubble and displays uncanny prescience. Debt, it would seem, can be every bit as dangerous as manias and other `irrational exuberance.` [detailed...]

Description: The publication focuses on the Strandvagen site located in the town of Motala, Ostergotland, Sweden. The volume looks at what shaped the material expression at the site during five hundred years of the 6th millennium BC (5500 - 5000 B.C). Several empirical studies of the material culture are conducted and presented in order to compare their various spatial connections and social relations between individuals and groups. The changes in the Mesolithic cultures of southern Scandinavia nevertheless illustrate that these were part of a well-functioning network of long-distance contacts in which several important stimuli for change were transmitted.
