Beneath the United States: A History of U.S. Policy Toward
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Schoultz, Lars, PUBLISHER: Harvard University Press, In this sweeping history of United States policy toward Latin America, Lars Schoultz shows that the United States has always perceived Latin America as a fundamentally inferior neighbor, unable to manage its affairs and stubbornly underdeveloped. This perception of inferiority was apparent from the beginning. John Quincy Adams, who first established diplomatic relations with Latin America, believed that Hispanics were "lazy, dirty, nasty...a parcel of hogs." In the early nineteenth century, ex-President John Adams declared that any effort to implant democracy in Latin America was "as absurd as similar plans would be to establish democracies among the birds, beasts, and fishes." Drawing on extraordinarily rich archival sources, Schoultz, one of the country's foremost Latin America scholars, shows how these core beliefs have not changed for two centuries. We have combined self-interest with a "civilizing mission"--a self-abnegating effort by a superior people to help a substandard civilization overcome its defects. William Howard Taft felt the way to accomplish this task was "to knock their heads together until they should maintain peace," while in CIA Director Allen Dulles warned that "the new Cuban officials had to be treated more or less like children." Schoultz shows that the policies pursued reflected these deeply held convictions. While political correctness censors the expression of such sentiments today, the actions of the United States continue to assume the political and cultural inferiority of Latin America. Schoultz demonstrates that not until the United States perceives its southern neighbors as equals can it anticipate a constructive hemispheric alliance.

House of Cards: The True Story of How a 26-Year-Old
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Dickerson, David Ellis, PUBLISHER: Riverhead Books, An original and hilarious memoir by an ex greeting card writer, virgin fundamentalist, and "This American Life" contributor that chronicles how, in the belly of the social expression industry, he learned to love, thrive, and finally feel comfortable in his own skin. David Dickerson's dream is to write greeting cards Valentine's Day, sympathy, and holiday cards. Greeting cards offer him the chance to indulge his gifted obsession with words, puns, and humor. But when he manages to win a coveted slot at Hallmark, he soon discovers his own limited life experience has left him unprepared for sentiments he writes about in his cards: As a fundamentalist-raised, twenty-seven-year-old virgin social misfit, he knows that his world is decidedly circumscribed. In "House of Cards," Dickerson tells of his time at Hallmark and how the experience and the cast of characters he meets there open his eyes to a much larger and emotionally rich world. In comic and sometimes cringe-inducing detail, he chronicles his bumpy journey to maturity, from straitlaced evangelical Christian to (relatively) modern single guy. As Dickerson navigates supervisors and colleagues who don't understand him, he learns what it takes to connect with this new lot of personalities and how to write funny lines that resonate with the heart of America. Along the way he confronts his past, his beliefs, his relationships, even his virginity, as he ponders whether his struggle to stay true to the life he knows is worth it. Endearing and idiosyncratic, "House of Cards "is the very human story of one man who, step by step, stumble by stumble, embarrassment by embarrassment, finds his place in the world.

Piano Digitale Yamaha CLP 525 BIANCO sped gratis
STATO: NUOVO PREZZO ON LINE SPEDITO GRATIS DESCRIZIONE ARTICOLO: Real Grand Expression. Questa frase definisce la capacità espressiva del Clavinova. Non è la piena realizzazione del suono, del tocco e dei pedali ma l'applicazione di tecnologie derivanti dalla produzione di pianoforti acustici che integrano perfettamente questi tre elementi in un singolo pianoforte. Questo piano produce esattamente il suono che si desidera attraverso il tocco dei tasti e dei pedali. Mentre si suona questo strumento, sembra realmente di suonare un pianoforte a coda. Le voci grand piano sono state ottenute registrando i suoni di un pianoforte a coda da concerto CFIIIS Yamaha. Un singolo pianoforte particolarmente adatto per la registrazione è stato selezionato e accordato nelle condizioni migliori da un accordatore esperto. Tutti i suoni sono stati registrati con meticolosa attenzione ai dettagli dando vita ad una voce piano bella e armoniosa. I pianisti possono modificare il volume del suono, così come le dinamiche, per realizzare suoni dolci e brillanti semplicemente modificando la pressione applicata ai tasti. Clavinova è dotato di registrazioni lunghe e accuratamente campionate delle note di un piano che vengono riprodotte con dettagli ricchi, inoltre utilizza le tecnologie Yamaha per realizzare transizioni sonore fluide in risposta al tocco dell'esecutore. Grazie alla tecnologia Smooth Release Yamaha, Clavinova offre il suono brillante che si avverte quando si suona in modalità staccato, ma anche il suono prolungato che si ottiene rilasciando i tasti in ritardo. Ciò consente di ottenere una risposta finemente sfumata rispetto al tocco dell'esecutore. Grazie alla tecnica dei martelletti e al meccanismo senza viti di un pianoforte a coda, la meccanica della tastiera GH3 riproduce il tocco di un piano acustico, dal tocco più pesante nei registri gravi al tocco più leggero nelle ottave acute.

Grassroots Music in the Upper Cumberland
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Montell, William Lynwood, PUBLISHER: University of Tennessee Press, The bi-state Upper Cumberland region--as discussed in William Lynwood Montell's new book, Grassroots in the Upper Cumberland--includes eight counties in Tennessee (Clay, Cumberland, DeKalb, Fentress, Jackson, Macon, Overton, and Putnam) and eight counties in Kentucky (Adair, Clinton, Cumberland, Metcalfe, Monroe, Pulaski, Russell, and Wayne). It is an area uniquely rich in traditional music. The importance of family ties and a deeply ingrained sense of community led to the flourishing of a distinct musical legacy from the s up to the present day. In this pathbreaking study of a region's music, William Lynwood Montell brings together an enormous trove of information about the folk practices, the transmission of musical skill and style, and the influence of traditional music on popular music (and vice-versa). Written by experts on the individual counties, each chapter focuses on one county and contextualizes its music within the broader musical legacy of the region. The result is a comprehensive look at the full musical spectrum of this area that avoids the often scattershot approach of statewide studies of music. As the book moves from county to county, the reader encounters a rich, living tradition of music. While the region's music is distinctive, it is nothing if not diverse, and various authors cover a variety of musical styles: English ballads, gospel, bluegrass, modern country, and even rock 'n' roll all find their unique expression in the musical mosaic of the Upper Cumberland. Among the many notable musicians from the region who come under close scrutiny are Archie Lee, Richard "Blind Dick" Burnett, Finley "Red" Belcher, Blake Williams, Lester Flatt, Steve Wariner, MandyBarnett, Lola Jean Dillon, and John Anderson, to name just a few. A celebration of local musicians and their stories as well as a look at how a musical legacy is transmitted from one generation to the next, this book will be of interest to students of traditional music and to music fans alike.

Rapt: Attention and the Focused Life
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Gallagher, Winifred, PUBLISHER: Penguin Press, Winifred Gallagher revolutionizes our understanding of attention and the creation of the interested life In "Rapt," acclaimed behavioral science writer Winifred Gallagher makes the radical argument that the quality of your life largely depends on what you choose to pay attention to and how you choose to do it. Gallagher grapples with provocative questionsaCan we train our focus? Whatas different about the way creative people pay attention? Why do we often zero in on the wrong factors when making big decisions, like where to move?adriving us to reconsider what we think we know about attention. Gallagher looks beyond sound bites on our proliferating BlackBerries and the increased incidence of ADD in children to the discoveries of neuroscience and psychology and the wisdom of home truths, profoundly altering and expanding the contemporary conversation on attention and its power. Scienceas major contribution to the study of attention has been the discovery that its basic mechanism is an either/or process of selection. That we focus may be a biological necessitya research now proves we can process only a little information at a time, or about 173 billion bits over an average lifeabut the good news is that we have much more control over our focus than we think, which gives us a remarkable yet underappreciated capacity to influence our experience. As suggested by the expression apay attention, a this cognitive currency is a finite resource that we must learn to spend wisely. In "Rapt," Gallagher introduces us to a diverse cast of charactersaartists and ranchers, birders and scientistsawho have learned to do just that and whose stories are profound lessons in the art of living the interested life. No matter what your quotient of wealth, looks, brains, or fame, increasing your satisfaction means focusing more on what really interests you and less on what doesnat. In asserting its groundbreaking thesisathe wise investment of your attention is the single most important thing you can do to improve your well-beinga"Rapt" yields fresh insights into the nature of reality and what it means to be fully alive.

Accelerated Silverlight 3
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Ghoda, Ashish / Scanlon, Jeff, PUBLISHER: Apress, Accelerated Silverlight 3 teaches you how to get up to speed with the latest version of Silverlight quickly and efficiently. The book assumes you're already comfortable with the basics of.NET coding and with WPF and builds on your existing knowledge to make your journey to Silverlight 3 proficiency as quick and painless as possible. Where coding techniques are similar to other, more established, areas of.NET, the text says so. Likewise, where there's a syntax or conceptual "gotcha" that you're existing coding habits will walk you into, the text points that out, too. This book provides you with fast-track coverage of all the most important elements of the Silverlight 3 technology ranging from XAML to standard controls, from dealing with media to networking, from testing to deployment. It concludes with a pair of fully worked sample applications for you to follow through, because nothing reinforces your understanding of how concepts fit together as much as looking at finished code. It is assumed that readers are already be comfortable with the workings of the.NET Framework. Knowledge of Expression Blend is useful, but not mandatory: you'll learn the Blend techniques that you need to know as you go through the book. By the end, you will have followed a sound, concise, path to mastery of Silverlight 3. What you'll learn Migrate your existing.NET skills to Silverlight 3 as quickly as possible Learn everything you need to know to start developing quality Silverlight 3 applications with confidence Explore worked case studies showing techniques and best practices in a code-heavy style that you can relate to Who is this book for? This book is for.NET developers, whether they are previewing.NET 4.0, already using.NET 3.5, or are in the process of migrating up from.NET 2.0. The aim is to ease people's migration paths as much as possible, so the text includes notes to highlight important features of.NET 3.5 and 4.0 that people need to be aware of and also to highlight where Silverlight's working and syntax differs substantially from that of WPF.

From Brazil to Heaven
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Adomian, Diane / Neto, Eduardo C., PUBLISHER: Hands of Care Photography, Up till now, no book has shown so much of the insider's Brazil. In photography and text, "From Brazil to Heaven" gives a unique look into Brazilian lifestyles, cultures and history. This is an essential volume in anyone's cultural library, and a must-have for those whose curiosity and passions are aroused by the Brazilian land and people.ABOUT THE AUTHORBorn in the cauldron of mystery known as Brazil, Eduardo C. Neto is a researcher, photographer and writer presenting an informed insider's view of his country and his people in this first volume of his photography. Edu's work is a raw and immediate glimpse deep into a culture little known and barely understood by the outside world. It takes an insider's knowledge and access, and readiness in the midst of the crowds and the action, to catch these impromptu moments whenever and wherever they happen. ARTS OF BRAZILFrom visual arts to music, dance, poetry and literature, from historical architecture to naive painting, from the ethnic melding of culinary arts to the uniquely communal, acrobatic, and musical martial art that is Brazilian Capoeira, this book reveals the artistic kaleidoscope of living the Brazilian way. We get a view of the largest historical complex of European Baroque architecture in Latin America, along with Art Nouveau, Contemporary, and New Gothic styles. Walls alive with master works by contemporary painters, ancestral food that ties people together, dance as a spontaneous outpouring of cultural expression, and music as part of daily life and community celebrations are found in this cavalcade of images.PHOTOGRAPHYThe photographs capture the stunning beauty of the people, the scenery, the sights and the moments that make up this special corner of the world. By following the threads of culture to their deepest sources, with an insider's point of view, the author's photographs testify to how the people live and why. By his presence on the ground, his access and his authenticity, we come close to the people and culture of Brazil.This book is a visual source of inspiration. Through the children, the women and the men who are the true riches and the beauty of this land, the reader will come to know with intimacy how the Brazilian spirit wakes up each day and survives in the only way it knows, creating a new song.DOCUMENTARYNative Brazilian or "Indio" peoples, Europeans and Africans of the diaspora come together here, overcoming the distances of land and language to take on a new culture. Together, these groups share their strength to forge the Brazilian identity today. This volume provides comprehensive visual documentation of little-known aspects of the Brazilian way of life, along with credible and hard-to-find written information.Myriad cultural manifestations interweave to create the special Brazilian lifestyle. The photographs and accompanying commentary in "From Brazil to Heaven" provide insight into the events that make Brazil exciting year-round: the
One Amazing Thing
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Divakaruni, Chitra Banerjee, PUBLISHER: Hyperion Books, "Divakaruni is a brilliant storyteller; she illuminates the world with her artistry; and shakes the reader with her love." --Junot Diaz Late afternoon sun sneaks through the windows of a passport and visa office in an unnamed American city. Most customers and even most office workers have come and gone, but nine people remain. A punky teenager with an unexpected gift. An upper-class Caucasian couple whose relationship is disintegrating. A young Muslim-American man struggling with the fallout of 9/11. A graduate student haunted by a question about love. An African-American ex-soldier searching for redemption. A Chinese grandmother with a secret past. And two visa office workers on the verge of an adulterous affair. When an earthquake rips through the afternoon lull, trapping these nine characters together, their focus first jolts to their collective struggle to survive. There's little food. The office begins to flood. Then, at a moment when the psychological and emotional stress seems nearly too much for them to bear, the young graduate student suggests that each tell a personal tale, "one amazing thing" from their lives, which they have never told anyone before. And as their surprising stories of romance, marriage, family, political upheaval, and self-discovery unfold against the urgency of their life-or-death circumstances, the novel proves the transcendent power of stories and the meaningfulness of human expression itself. From Chitra Divakaruni, author of such finely wrought, bestselling novels as Sister of My Heart, The Palace of Illusions, and The Mistress of Spices, comes her most compelling and transporting story to date. One Amazing Thing is a passionate creation about survival--and about the reasons to survive. Praise for One Amazing Thing "The plot of Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni's new novel could be ripped from the horrifying headlines about Haiti in a strange case of art imitating life....One Amazing Thing, which was written well before the Haiti earthquake, is receiving high praise." --USA Today "The appeal of these life stories, like that of Chaucer's Canterbury Tales, is that they throw the spotlight onto varied lives, each with its own joys and miseries. Together, the stories show how easy it is to divert young lives into unforeseen and restrictive channels, and how hard it is for people to realize their early dreams. Their shared experiences and fears form the frame that holds together this compendium of short stories into an absorbing novel....At the end of her novel, her readers are fully engaged in what will happen to those nine people." --Washington Post "Hauntingly beautiful....One Amazing Thing is a page-turner with high drama, elegant writing, and lots of helpful tips for teamwork in a crisis." --Houston Chronicle "Her fiction is so intimate that it often seems as if cultural context is irrelevant. Her character's dreams and disappointment
Flowdreaming: A Radical New Technique for Manifesting
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: McStravick, Summer, PUBLISHER: Hay House, This beautiful hardcover book comes with an instructional CD to teach you the art of Flowdreaming. Author Summer McStravick pioneered this fascinating technique that rolls the best of meditation, affirmations, self-hypnosis, prayer, and creative visualization into a powerful technique that can turn anyone into a true "manifestor." This step-by-step instructional book, which includes a full-length introductory Flowdreaming CD, shows you how to find the Flow--a place accessible in our minds, where our quantum reality emerges as an energetic, cosmic river that flows in a positive direction throughout our lives. Flowdreaming is both a fascinating philosophy and a simple technique to help you start manifesting your future in this great energetic space. Summer's powerful abilities and understanding of universal energies has been recognized by such preeminent teachers as Dr. Wayne Dyer, Gregg Braden, Cheryl Richardson, Denise Linn, Carol Ritberger, and Colette Baron-Reid. She has emerged as a leader in the field of manifesting and has been referred to as a rare teacher of the "mysteries." If you enjoy writers such as Esther and Jerry Hicks, Dr. Wayne Dyer, Gregg Braden, Eckhart Tolle, or Sandra Anne Taylor, then this book is a choice find that belongs in your library. Countless people have enjoyed Summer's wisdom and elegant explanations in her weekly Internet radio program on HayHouseRadio.com, and her genuine, honest assessment of manifesting in her blog at www.Flowdreaming.com. Consider this excerpt from "Flowdreaming," in which Summer writes, "We've always known that the Flow is all around us. On some intuitive level, we feel its presence and know when we're moving with life, just as werecognize when we're moving against it. And on rare occasions--though just often enough to shake us up each time it happens--when we look at a sunset or up at the stars, we can even sense that we're part of the Flow; that is, made from the stuff. The Flow is both the glue that holds the cosmos together and the cosmos itself. If you have any doubt about this, just think of how often you've used the expression, 'Just go with the flow.' "Every time you've been moved to use that phrase, you've acknowledged, perhaps instinctually, that there is some life force--some peculiar essence-- that we're caught up in and that is flowing forward into the future, and that, if we go with it, will ease our burdens and bring us to a better place. We intuit that this essence is good and pure, and we want to be flowing with it. In other words, when we're going with the Flow, we're saying that we are in fact on the right path... whatever that path may be. What I'm going to show you now is how you can start aligning yourself with this majesty, and in so doing, discover the explosive creative, manifestational power that is the Flow." "You'll find much wisdom in this insightful book from my co-host on HayHouseRadio.com." -- Dr. Wayne W Acquista Ora
