Against the bloody background of the Battle of Culloden, another war was waged and won--the price was honor, the victory, love."

Serena has captivated him with her beauty, her passion for life and commitment to her beliefs--and he refuses to let her antagonistic attitude keep him from winning her.

Stains on My Name-C

Stains on My Name-C

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Williams, Brackette F. / Brackette F. Williams / Williams, PUBLISHER: Duke University Press, Burdened with a heritage of both Spanish and British colonization and imperialism, Guyana is today caught between its colonial past, its efforts to achieve the consciousness of nationhood, and the need of its diverse subgroups to maintain their own identity. "Stains on My Name, War in My Veins" chronicles the complex struggles of the citizens of Guyana to form a unified national culture against the pulls of ethnic, religious, and class identities. Drawing on oral histories and a close study of daily life in rural Guyana, Brackette E. Williams examines how and why individuals and groups in their quest for recognition as a "nation" reproduce ethnic chauvinism, racial stereotyping, and religious bigotry. By placing her ethnographic study in a broader historical context, the author develops a theoretical understanding of the relations among various dimensions of personal identity in the process of nation building.

BOB CRITES CT125 Tweeter

Bob Crites, noto costruttore americano diventato famoso nell'ambito hi-fi per aver sviluppato numerosi upgrade riguardanti la mitica serie Heritage di Klipsch. Le sue modifiche sono state applicate su Klipschorn, La Scala, Cornwall Heresy, ecc... In particolare i suoi tweeter sono stati studiati per ottimizzare la risposta in frequenza da molti considerata poco estesa in alto con conseguente sonorità tendenti all'opaco, chiuso, poco arioso... Con questo splendido Tweeter la cui efficenza di 104 dB si sposa perfettamente con l'originale k-77 (Electrovoice t-35) senza necessitare di nessuna modifica al cross-over. Numerose prove fatto su Klipschorn, hanno dimostrato come questa diversa geometria della tromba si amalgami perfettamente con la tromba klipsch k-400...mantenendo il driver di Crites... La modifica risultante porta un upgrade a mio giudizio eccezionale con una spesa davvero irrisoria... Disponibile anche una coppia con tromba a cosiddetto "guance o culetto di bambino"...(costo 200) Entrambi nuovi...

The Emergence of Jewish Artists in Nineteenth-Century Europe

The Emergence of Jewish Artists in Nineteenth-Century Europe

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Goodman, Susan Tumarkin / Cohen, Richard I. / Hyman, Paula E., PUBLISHER: Merrell, The emancipation of Jews in Europe during the nineteenth century meant that for the first time they could participate in areas of secular life -- including established art academies -- that had previously been closed to them by legal restrictions. Jewish artists took many complex routes to establish their careers. Some -- such as Camille Pissaro -- managed to distinguish themselves without making any reference to their Jewish heritage in their art. Others -- such as Simeon Solomon and Maurycy Gottlieb -- wrestled with their identities as well to produce images of Jewish experience. The pogroms that began in the late nineteenth century brought home to Jews the problematic relationship of minority groups to majority cultures, and artists such as Maurycy Minkowski and Samuel Hirszenberg confronted the horror of the deaths of thousands of Jews in powerful images of destruction and despair. Comprehensively illustrated in color throughout, Painting in Nineteenth-Century Europe explores for the first time every aspect of the role of Jewish artists within nineteenth-century European art.

Rebuilding the Ancestral Village: Singaporeans in China

Rebuilding the Ancestral Village: Singaporeans in China

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Kuaah-Pearce, Khun Eng / Kuah, Khun, PUBLISHER: Hong Kong University Press, This work illustrates the relationship between one group of Singaporean Chinese and their ancestral village in Fujian, China. It explores the reasons why the Singaporean Chinese continue to maintain ties with their ancestral village and how they reproduce Chinese culture through ancestor worship and religion in the ancestral village. In some cases, the Singaporeans feel morally obliged to assist in village reconstruction and infrastructure developments such as new roads, bridges, schools, and hospitals. Others help with small-scale industrial and retail activities. Meanwhile, officials and villagers in the ancestral home utilize various strategies to encourage the Singaporeans to revisit their ancestral village, sustain heritage ties, and help enhance the moral economy. This ethnographic study examines two geographically distinct groups of Chinese coming together to re-establish their lineage and identity through cultural and economic activities. Khun Eng Kuah-Pearce is an associate professor in the Department of Sociology and honorary academic director of the Centre for Anthropological Research at the University of Hong Kong.

Builders and Fighters: U.S. Army Engineers in World War II

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: U. S. Army Corps of Engineers / Fowle, Barry W., PUBLISHER: University Press of the Pacific, The Corps of Engineers played an important part in winning World War II. Its work included building and repairing roads, bridges, and airfields; laying and clearing minefields; establishing and destroying obstacles; constructing training camps and other support facilities; building the Pentagon; and providing facilities for the development of the atomic bomb. In addition to their construction work, engineers engaged in combat with the enemy in the Battle of the Bulge, on the Ledo Road in Burma, in the mountains of Italy, and at numerous other locations. Certainly one of the highlights of Corps activity during World War II was the construction of the -mile Alaska Highway, carved out of the Canadian and Alaskan wilderness. Builders and Fighters is a series of essays on some of the hectic engineer activity during World War II. Veterans of that war should read this book and point with pride to their accomplishments. In it, today's engineers will find further reasons to be proud of their heritage. H. J. Hatch Lieutenant General, USA Chief of Engineers

Education of a Wandering Man

Education of a Wandering Man

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: L'Amour, Louis, PUBLISHER: Bantam, From his decision to leave school at fifteen to roam the world, to his recollections of life as a hobo on the Southern Pacific Railroad, as a cattle skinner in Texas, as a merchant seaman in Singapore and the West Indies, and as an itinerant bare-knuckled prizefighter across small-town America, here is Louis L'Amour's memoir of his lifelong love affair with learning--from books, from yondering, and from some remarkable men and women--that shaped him as a storyteller and as a man. Like classic L'Amour fiction, "Education of a Wandering Man" mixes authentic frontier drama--such as the author's desperate efforts to survive a sudden two-day trek across the blazing Mojave desert--with true-life characters like Shanghai waterfront toughs, desert prospectors, and cowboys whom Louis L'Amour met while traveling the globe. At last, in his own words, this is a story of a one-of-a-kind life lived to the fullest... a life that inspired the books that will forever enable us to relive our glorious frontier heritage.

Forging a Nation: Perspectives on the Canadian Military

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Horn (Lieutenant-Colonel), Bernd, PUBLISHER: Vanwell Publishing, Forging A Nation offers a collection of essays on the development of the Canadian military experience. For more than two centuries, Canadians have taken up arms to defend the nation and our national ideals, to support our allies and to bring peace in other parts of the world. This book offers an important commentary on these actions, and the way our military experience has shaped our country's national and international identity.The essays are organized into four distinct eras: Part I covers the colonial period, from early contact with the First Nations to Canada's participation in the American Civil War and the Boer War. Part II studies the impact of the two world wars on Canada in terms of mobilization, industrial development and operational strategies. The third section examines the notion of national security from a Canadian context, identifies the distinctly Canadian style of warfare and national defence issues. Part IV explores Canada's role in international spheres-alliance relationships, Cold War participation, involvement in other areas of the globe, and includes a penetrating appraisal of our peacekeeping heritage.
