Carrie Mae Weems: The Louisiana Project

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionThis book explores `The Louisiana Project,` a new work by the noted artist Carrie Mae Weems that was commissioned as part of the bicentennial celebrations surrounding the commemoration of the Louisiana Purchase. Weems has a distinguished career as a photographer interested in history and social critique and her work frequently addresses questions of race, class, and gender. `The Louisiana Project` incorporates still photography, narrative, and video projection as part of an examination of the complex history of New Orleans and the `commingling culture` that has resulted. Photographs use the symbolism of the mirror as a means of reflection on a particular region and its history, on attitudes about blackness, as well as sexual identity.In another group of images Weems places herself in a variety of locations?plantations, railroad tracks, and chemical plants?as a witness to the experience of African Americans. The video considers a triad of relationships… [detailed...]

Carried Away: A Selection of Stories (Everyman`s Library) (Everyman`s Library (Cloth))

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Carried Away is a dazzling selection of stories–seventeen favorites chosen by the author from across her distinguished career. Alice Munro has been repeatedly hailed as one of our greatest living writers, a reputation that has been growing for years. The stories brought together here span a quarter century, drawn from some of her earliest books, The Beggar Maid and The Moons of Jupiter, through her recent best-selling collection, Runaway. Here are such favorites as “Royal Beatings” in which a young girl, her father, and stepmother release the tension of their circumstances in a ritual of punishment and reconciliation, “Friend of My Youth” in which a woman comes to understand that her difficult mother is not so very different from herself, and “The Love of a Good Woman,” in which, when an old crime resurfaces, a woman has to choose whether to believe in the man she intends to marry. … [detailed...]

Carried Away: All About Bags

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: The bag is one of the most universal and oldest objects invented by humankind. What began as a prosaic item for everyday use can now be a luxurious treasure that confers instant status. In this unique, lavishly illustrated volume, published to accompany the exhibition Le Cas du Sac, noted fashion historian Farid Chenoune and 24 experts present an unimaginable wealth of bags made for everyone from kings and celebrities to shamans and vagabonds. This comprehensive book explores the bag as high-fashion totem, travelers` bags, bags for professionals, bags related to money and ceremony, and bags as talismans. The beautiful illustrations, including paintings, fashion photographs, and ethnographic and decorative objects, reveal the variety and importance of bags throughout time, from designer Philip Treacy`s silk evening bag printed with Andy Warhol`s signature Campbell Soup cans, to the pangu, the bags used by Bamum tribal kings of Western Africa for holding the sovereign`s regalia….

Carrier Grade Voice Over IP

2002 y.
Publisher: McGraw-Hill Professional
Description: In 2002 voice over IP will constitute more than 25% of all long distance voice calls, according to Network World. That’s more than a 30% ramp-up from 2001. The emergence of SIP, MPLS and new quality of service tools is making carrier grade voice over IP a service reality, and a potentially huge margin booster and revenue driver for service providers. The first edition of Carrier Grade Voice over IP played a roll in VoIP growth, in less than year becoming an essential tool for carriers working to provide high quality IP telephony. This new edition vastly updates the SIP chapter, details MPLS, and takes the explanations of the previous edition a step further in a final chapter that shows, step by step, how to design working VoIP networks.

Carriers of Culture: Labor on the Road in Nineteenth-Century East Africa (Social History of Africa)

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Much writing about 19th-century East Africa has been distorted by the legacy of post-Enlightenment thought as well as by more insidious racist ideologies. Humanitarian lobbies throughout Western Europe, strongly influenced by positivist ideas, and campaigning to highlight the ravages of the slave trade, condemned Africa in their writings and propaganda to the periphery, outside `universal` history. Africa was reduced to a continent of slavery, in which the market, entrepreneurship and free wage labour could not exist. These ideas penetrated scholarly works and still survive in some guises. The consequence is that a variety of initiatives and forms of labour organization associated with the long distance trades in ivory and imported cloth have been overlooked by scholars, while the slave paradigm received widespread attention. Utilizing the conceptual tool of `crew culture` Rockel documents a large-scale African migrant labour system. Nyamwezi caravan porters from the interior, as well… [detailed...]

Katerina Linker, Carroll Dunham
Carroll Dunham: Painting &, Sculpture 2004-2008

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: New York artist Carroll Dunham makes figurative paintings and sculptures that frequently draw on that uniquely American dovetailing of Surrealism and cartoon idioms, of which the late Philip Guston would be an obvious instance--resounding with a libidinous zaniness. Dunham has built his pictorial vocabulary over three decades of grappling with the past century`s rich heritage of painterly possibilities (including abstraction, which he practiced exclusively for many years), today one can detect traces of Leger, Guston and the various twists and turns of New York painting in the 1980s, when he began making abstractions on wood veneer. In the 1990s, Dunham`s claim to fame was a series of cartoonlike organic figures, engaged in a bizarre battle of the sexes. Around the turn of the millennium, a single phallus-nosed character emerged in the work. And recently he has been working on tree-shaped forms. This volume gives an overview of Dunham`s recent paintings and sculptures. [detailed...]

Carrots, Sticks, and Ethnic Conflict : Rethinking Development Assistance

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Development assistance employs carrots and sticks to influence regimes and obtain particular outcomes: altered economic policies, democratization, relief of suffering from catastrophes. Wealthy nations and international agencies such as the World Bank justify development assistance on grounds of improving the global human condition. Over the last forty years, however, ethnic conflict has increased dramatically. Where does ethnic conflict fit within this set of objectives? How do the resources, policy advice, and conditions attached to aid affect ethnic conflict in countries in which donors intervene? How can assistance be deployed in ways that might moderate rather than aggravate ethnic tensions? These issues are addressed comparatively by area specialists and participant-observers from development assistance organizations. This book is the first systematic effort to evaluate this dimension of international affairs--and to propose remedies. Case studies include… [detailed...]

Carry Me Down

Publisher: —
Description: Carry Me Down is an engrossing story that at its heart examines an adolescent`s difficulties navigating the world. John Egan is a misfit ? a twelve-year-old in the body of a grown man with the voice of a giant ? who diligently keeps track of the lies large and small that are told to him. John`s been able to detect lies for as long as he can remember, it`s a source of power but also great consternation for someone so young. With an obsession for the Guinness Book of World Records, a keenly inquisitive mind, and a kind of faith, John remains hopeful despite the unfavorable cards life deals him. John is like a tuning fork, sensitive to the vibrations within himself and the trouble that this creates for him and his family, and when his sanity reaches near collapse, a frightening family catastrophe threatens to destroy them. Carry Me Down is a restrained, emotionally taut, and sometimes oddly funny portrait whose drama drives toward, but narrowly averts, an unthinkable disaster. [detailed...]

It`s a thoughtful examination of how the Tao , and Taoist thought, might be applied to the challenges, conflicts, and obstacles that activists and concerned citizens face as they fight contemporary battles regarding such issues as poverty, workers` rights, environmentalism, freedom of expression, gender and sexual equality, and social justice.

Carrying Jackie`s Torch: The Players Who Integrated Baseball-And America

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: The real and painful struggles of the black players who followed Jackie Robinson into major and minor league baseball from 1947 to 1968 are chronicled in this compelling volume. Players share their personal and often heart-wrenching stories of intense racism, both on and off the field, mixed with a sometimes begrudged appreciation for their tremendous talents. Stories include incidents of white players who gave up promising careers in baseball because they wouldn’t play with a black teammate, the Georgia law that forbade a black player from dressing in the same clubhouse as the white players, the quotas for the number of blacks on a team, and how salary negotiations without agents or free agency were akin to a plantation system for both black and white players. The 20 players profiled include Ernie Banks, Alvin Jackson, Charlie Murray, Chuck Harmon, Frank Robinson, Bob Gibson, Hank Aaron, Curt Flood, Lou Brock, and Bob Watson. [detailed...]
