Troglodytes

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionAn anthropological undertaking in comics form, this gritty collection of stories examines the lifestyles, religion, reproductive nature, and hierarchy of a complex, subterranean species. Racy and provocative, these fictional tales resonate with the primal nature of man - a mysterious quandary that even now is hotly debated between our most intellectual philosophers, legions of religious fanatics, and the brightest scientists of our day. Richly drawn, and reproduced in two colors, in a dense and wholly original style, Marcel Ruijters takes us behind the mirror, and gives us an evolutionary glimpse of ourselves as developing creatures.

T. Bryce
Trojans and Their Neighbours: An Introduction

2005 y.
Publisher: Routledge
Description: The book surveys the entire history of Troy, from its beginnings c. 3000 BC until its decline and obscurity in the Byzantine era, incorporating recent research that has previously been published only in German. There is much emphasis on Troy`s neighbors and contemporaries throughout this period, in order to provide a clear historical and cultural context for the city and its inhabitants throughout its lifespan. A detailed comparative chronology and a series of maps complement the discussion. The period of the alleged Trojan War serves as a focal point for the investigation, but the book ranges far beyond this, dealing, for example, with the reasons for Troy`s new lease of life in the late Greek and Roman periods. Given the proliferation of `proofs` of the Trojan war, the book provides a sober and up-to-date assessment of what the most recent evidence tells us about the whole tradition recorded for us in Homer`s epic The Iliad.

Scott Molloy
Trolley Wars: Streetcar Workers on the Line (Becoming Modern: New Nineteenth-Century Studies)

2007 y.
Publisher: —
Description: American cities` rapid expansion after the Civil War fueled the growth of organized transportation systems-- omnibuses, horsecar, and, later, electric streetcars. Trolley Wars traces the social dynamics of these first mass-transportation systems as they developed in Rhode Island, the most urbanized state in Gilded Age America. Covering years of rapid growth, Scott Molloy focuses on the laborers who operated the transit system, the changing ownership of the streetcar lines, and the strong bond that grew between trolley crews and passengers--a bond that sustained a powerful political alliance during the bitter `car wars` of 1902. In lucid prose based on scrupulous research, Molloy dissects the car wars and expertly knits them into the larger pattern of labor unrest and urban malaise gripping turn-of-the-century America. Originally published in 1996, the classic Trolley Wars is now made available for the first time in paperback to readers, students, and scholars of labor history,… [detailed...]

Trolley Wars traces the social dynamics of these first mass-transportation systems as they developed in Rhode Island, the most urbanized state in Gilded Age America.

Nineteenth-century motormen and conductors often spent their entire career on one route, becoming sentinels of the communitywith loyal followings among riders. As the changeover from horsepower to electricity revolutionized urban travel, out-of-state syndicates purchased the transit lines and instituted cost-saving measures that irritated employees and… [detailed...]

Tropic of Cancer

2005 y.
Publisher: Harper Perennial Modern Classics
Description: Miller`s groundbreaking first novel, banned in Britain for almost thirty years, now reinvigorated in a new Harper Perennial Modern Classics edition. A penniless and as yet unpublished writer, Henry Miller arrived in Paris in 1930. Leaving behind a disintgrating marriage and an unhappy career in America, he threw himself into the low-life of bohemian Paris with unwavering gusto. A fictional account of Miller`s adventures amongst the prostitutes and pimps, the penniless painters and writers of Montparnasse `Tropic of Cancer` is an extravagant and rhapsodic hymn to a world of unrivalled eroticism and freedom. `Tropic of Cancer`s` 1934 publication in France was hailed by Samuel Beckett as `a momentous event in the history of modern writing`. The novel was subseqently banned in the UK and the USA and not released for publication for a further thirty years. Формат: 12,5 см х 19,5 см. [detailed...]

Pursued by Gloria, a proud and sophisticated prostitute on a mission to curb his predatory instincts, Pedro Juan is holed up in his crumbling Havana apartment, painting, with a growing sense of melancholy as he observes the lives of the hustlers, hipsters, and hookers in the city below him. An invitation to Sweden, of all places-cold, unwelcoming, the antithesis of Pedro`s Cuba-gives him an official way out, and the phone manner of his potential hostess offers incentive enough for him to leave for the literary life in Europe. However, once there he finds himself haunted by memories of the passionate Gloria and increasingly uninspired by his new environment. Does Pedro Juan, legendary seducer and imbiber of hard liquor, finally have to admit that his game is over-to be replaced by this more… [detailed...]

Tropical Architecture: Sustainable and Humane Building in Africa, Latin America and South-East Asia

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionThis forward-thinking survey considers the challenges of making buildings that withstand the vagaries of climate, economy, and limited resources. Although the tropics cover nearly forty percent of the world?s surface, from rain forests to dry desert regions, the architecture of this climactically extreme geographic area has largely gone unnoticed. With exploding populations and numerous ecological and economic concerns, the regions are looking increasingly toward sustainable solutions. In this unique study Wolfgang Lauber explores the ways traditional, pre-colonial structures were better adapted to the area?s topography and climate than more modern structures built by European settlers. Numerous photographs, illustrations, and plans examine the continuum of tropical architecture?from the mud hut to the colonial mansion, from bamboo sheds to high-rises, from spontaneous building to urban planning. Studies of the works of such contemporary architects… [detailed...]

Tropical Babylons: Sugar and the Making of the Atlantic World, 1450-1680

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: The idea that sugar, plantations, slavery, and capitalism were all present at the birth of the Atlantic world has long dominated scholarly thinking. In nine original essays by a multinational group of top scholars, Tropical Babylons re-evaluates tis so-called `sugar revolution.` The most comprehensive comparative study to date of early Atlantic sugar economies, this collection presents a revisionist examination of the origins of society and economy in the Atlantic world. Focusing on areas colonied by Spain and Portugal (before the emergence of the Caribbean sugar colonies of England, France, and Holland), these essays show that despite reliance on common knowledge and technology, there were considerable variations in the way sugar was produced. ith studies of Iberia, Madeira and the Canary Islands, Hispaniola, Cuba, Brazil, and Barbados, this volume demonstrates the similarities and differences between the plantation colonies, questions the very idea of a sugar revolution,… [detailed...]

Description: Tropical Capitalism traces the rise of Brazil’s second largest industrial center, a planned city created in the 1890s as the capital of Minas Gerais, the nation’s second most populous state. Marshall Eakin offers the industrialization of Belo Horizonte as an example of an extreme form of the pattern of Brazilian industrialization--a variation of capitalism characterized by state intervention, clientelism, family networks, and the lack of tehcnological innovation. At the core of the analysis are the webs of power formed by politicians, technocrats, and entrepreneurs who drove forward the process of industrialization. The first comprehensive analysis of Belo Horizonte, this book explores industrialization in Latin America, and looksbeneath the larger, national economy to dissect a city and region. [detailed...]

Tropical Cooking Made Easy

Publisher: Mill City Press, Inc.
Description: I have seen, and own many cookbooks from my island written in Spanish and English. I have asked many people if they would purchase this type of cookbook. Their responses have demonstrated how very little is known about the culinary aspect of the Caribbean in particularly, my island. The knowledge of the culture and food is remote to many, and the complexity of the recipes preparation could be overwhelming. After much research on this issue, I decided that the book should be written reflecting the Caribbean cooking as being easy, healthy, savory, and attractive to the American taste, but without omitting the essence of the food culture background. Tropical Cooking Made Easy is a cookbook with a distinctive exotic taste like the island itself. It is a book with unique recipes as its history. The ingredients in the recipes are a blend of the heritage behind the people of the Island of Puerto Rico: Spanish, Indian, and African.
