Flying to Pieces

The Myths of Technology: Innovation and Inequality

The Myths of Technology: Innovation and Inequality

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Burnett, Judith / Senker, Peter / Walker, Kathy, PUBLISHER: Lang, Peter, Publishing Inc., This book questions whether technologies are the rational, tangible, scientific, forward-thinking, neutral objects they are so often perceived to be, exploring instead how powerful, mythic ideas about technologies drive our social understanding and our expectations of them. Against a rising tide of information, we encounter significant technological, scientific, and medical advances which promise to create an educated, humane, and equal world. This book explores that promise, deconstructing technologies to conclude that though they do afford us significant and empowering advances, they remain largely cloaked in mystery, and often promise more than they can deliver. Contributors from diverse intellectual backgrounds and political and epistemological stances - spanning sociology and psychosocial investigations, innovation studies, and scientists - combine philosophical inquiry and empirical case studies to create a book which is at once provocative, innovative, and exciting in the challenges it poses.

The jungles of South America may make his former job as a ranch manager for his friend Jay Pendleton look like a cakewalk, but it's nothing that the former Green Beret can't handle. A woman's heart, however--that's dangerous territory. Back in Texas, Grange's biggest problem was avoiding Peg Larson and all the complications being attracted to the daughter of his foreman would entail. Now Grange will need all his training to help General Emilio Machado gain control of the tiny South American nation of Barrera; when Peg arrives unannounced, she's a distraction he can't avoid. She's determined to show Grange she can be useful on and off the battlefield. Once she breaks through his armor, traversing the wilds of the Amazon will prove an easier task than defending himself against her winning charms....

Fords

Fords

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Bulla, Joanne Deamicis, PUBLISHER: Arcadia Publishing (SC), Fords is part of the state's oldest original township, Woodbridge, chartered in . The area was once a prime area clay-mining region, and the bricks made from that clay helped put the township on the map. Originally known as Sling Taile, Fords borders Hopelawn, Keasby, Iselin, Menlo Park Terrace, and Edison. Settled early by immigrants from Ireland, Italy, and other European countries, Fords was an agricultural community until the twentieth century, when local industry flourished. Fords exhibits vintage photographs of the very early Cutler House, old shops in the business district, local churches, Dalina's Tavern, and the Fairfield Union School. The book also includes images of the trolleys, which were later replaced by the motorcar, and of the Garden State Parkway and New Jersey Turnpike, both of which pass through town. Drawn from the collections of longtime residents, local libraries, schools, organizations, and churches, these photographs, along with the well-researched text, bring the past to life.

Sky-High Flames

Sky-High Flames

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Azuah, Unoma Nguemo, PUBLISHER: PublishAmerica, Sky-high Flames is the story of a vivacious, naAve, young girl who morphs into an unforgettable, strong woman. Ofunne lives in a society that defines her status through marriage and children; nevertheless, she dreams of building a career for herself. Once in school, her high-spiritedness leads her to constant trouble, but she excels as a student. She is, however, taken out of school to marry a man of her parents' dream, but all is not as it seems when she soon discovers that her husband is less than ideal. Caught in a whirlpool where the proclivity would be to succumb, she finds her way out of the maze. In a world where there are no choices, Ofunne refuses to be a tragic victim; her story becomes an indictment of a culture and her victory gives us hope. This book bears a tale of innocence, of sadness, of sacrifice, and of victory in the face of sky-high obstacles.

Revolving Gridlock

Revolving Gridlock

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Brady, David / Volden, Craig, PUBLISHER: Westview Press, Since the elections of and the return of divided government, we are once again hearing a lot of complaints about government gridlock. Here, political scientists David Brady and Craig Volden demonstrate that gridlock is not a product of divided government, party politics, or any of the usual scapegoats. It is, instead, an instrumental part of American government--built into our institutions and sustained by leaders acting rationally not only to achieve set goals but to thwart foolish inadvertencies.Looking at key legislative issues from the Reagan, Bush, and Clinton administrations, the authors clearly and carefully analyze important crux points in lawmaking: the swing votes, the veto, the filibuster. They show that when it comes to government gridlock, it doesn't matter who's in the White House or who's in control of Congress; it's as American as apple pie, and its results may ultimately be as sweet in ensuring system stability and democracy.

Greece: Land of Light

Greece: Land of Light

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Gage, Nicholas / Brukoff, Barry, PUBLISHER: Bulfinch Press, Greece is a legendary destination, and anyone who has once fallen under its spell dreams of returning again and again. Here is a marvelous record of this enchanting land, portraying the essence of Greece -- its striking sea and landscape, its peoples, its culture and history, and its ancient monuments. From the tip of the Peloponnese to the remote mountain villages of the far north to the islands of the Aegean, Brukoff's brilliant color images and Gage's evocative words capture the heart of Greece. Included are the great classical ruins, Byzantine monasteries, colorful fishing villages, chairs at outdoor tavernas, octopus drying in the sun like laundry, and the ubiquitous cats -- the vivid details that each traveler takes home as a memory. Gage's essays on the turbulent history of the country, its myths and beliefs, life in the villages, the age-old wisdom and spirit of the Greek people, and, above all, "Greece's unearthly, spiritual, almost holy light" are a passionate tribute to an extraordinary country.

Le Mystere Des Cathedrales Et L'Interpretation Esoterique

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Fulcanelli, PUBLISHER: Martino Fine Books, Reprint of Edition. Full facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. Profusely illustrated with 35 full page illustrations. Until recently an appreciation of Fulcanelli's 'The Mystery of the Cathredals' has been restricted to a few esotoric circles. Fulcanelli himself remains something of an enigma. Born in Paris circa , Fulcanelli's magnum opus was first published in in a limited edition of 300 copies. It has attracted interest ever since - even though viewed askance by the more orthodox interpreters of Church history and architecture. Fulcanelli's book celebrates the 'hermetic' or 'masonic' mysteries enshrined in the great European cathedrals at once concealed and revealed within the very facade of stone text. Fulcanelli devotes much attention to the facade of the Notre Dame de Paris, but what he had to say is true of all great European cathedrals, designed and built by master-masons who had access to the hermetic tradition.

Down with the Ship

Down with the Ship

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Murphy, Ryan, PUBLISHER: Otis Books/Seismicity Editions, Poetry. DOWN WITH THE SHIP is Ryan Murphy's first full-length collection of poetry. A staff member at the Academy of American Poets in New York, Murphy's work echoes a few other poets who've haunted that fair city-names like Berrigan and Ceravolo come to mind-but this is no mere derivative exercise. With a fine ear for cadence and an eye for the odd and illuminating line break, Murphy gleans the U.S. cultural landscape for both detritus and diamonds in the rough, emerging with a unique post-millennial blend of torqued language and affecting (if also disembodied) confession. In this beat-up world we can bat clean-up for the L.A. Dodgers and find joy in "That same old feeling,/a pop song" and yet at once concur that we fight darker thoughts, that "It is wrong/to want to punt/the child that wails/in the night." A fine debut.

Must You Go?: My Life with Harold Pinter

Must You Go?: My Life with Harold Pinter

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Fraser, Antonia, PUBLISHER: Doubleday Canada, THINGS FALL APART tells two overlapping, intertwining stories, both of which center around Okonkwo, a "strong man" of an Ibo village in Nigeria. The first of these stories traces Okonkwo's fall from grace with the tribal world in which he lives, and in its classical purity of line and economical beauty it provides us with a powerful fable about the immemorial conflict between the individual and society. The second story, which is as modern as the first is ancient, and which elevates the book to a tragic plane, concerns the clash of cultures and the destruction of Okonkwo's world through the arrival of aggressive, proselytizing European missionaries. These twin dramas are perfectly harmonized, and they are modulated by an awareness capable of encompassing at once the life of nature, human history, and the mysterious compulsions of the soul. THINGS FALL APART is the most illuminating and permanent monument we have to the modern African experience as seen from within.
