Download or read book Havana written by Mark Kurlansky and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2018-03-06 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A city of tropical heat, ramshackle beauty, and its very own cadence--a city that always surprises--Havana is brought to pulsing life by New York Times bestselling author Mark Kurlansky. Award-winning author Mark Kurlansky presents an insider's view of Havana: the elegant, tattered city he has come to know over more than thirty years. Part cultural history, part travelogue, with recipes, historic engravings, photographs, and Kurlansky's own pen-and-ink drawings throughout, Havana celebrates the city's singular music, literature, baseball, and food; its five centuries of outstanding, neglected architecture; and its extraordinary blend of cultures. Like all great cities, Havana has a rich history that informs the vibrant place it is today--from the native Taino to Columbus's landing, from Cuba's status as a U.S. protectorate to Batista's dictatorship and Castro's revolution, from Soviet presence to the welcoming of capitalist tourism. Havana is a place of extremes: a beautifully restored colonial city whose cobblestone streets pass through areas that have not been painted or repaired since long before the revolution. Kurlansky shows Havana through the eyes of Cuban writers, such as Alejo Carpentier and José Martí, and foreigners, including Graham Greene and Hemingway. He introduces us to Cuban baseball and its highly opinionated fans; the city's music scene, alive with the rhythm of son; its culinary legacy. Through Mark Kurlansky's multilayered and electrifying portrait, the long-elusive city of Havana comes stirringly to life.

Book Synopsis Nation-States and the Global Environment by : Erika Marie Bsumek
Download or read book Nation-States and the Global Environment written by Erika Marie Bsumek and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2013-04-02 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hardly a day passes without journalists, policymakers, academics, or scientists calling attention to the worldwide scale of the environmental crisis confronting humankind. While climate change has generated the greatest alarm in recent years, other global problems-desertification, toxic pollution, species extinctions, drought, and deforestation, to name just a few-loom close behind. The scope of the most pressing environmental problems far exceeds the capacity of individual nation-states, much less smaller political entities. To compound these problems, economic globalization, the growth of non-governmental activist groups, and the accelerating flow of information have fundamentally transformed the geopolitical landscape. Despite the new urgency of these challenges, however, they are not without historical precedent. As this book shows, nation-states have long sought agreements to manage migratory wildlife, just as they have negotiated conventions governing the exploitation of rivers and other bodies of water. Similarly, nation-states have long attempted to control resources beyond their borders, to impose their standards of proper environmental exploitation on others, and to draw on expertise developed elsewhere to cope with environmental problems at home. This collection examines this little-understood history, providing case studies and context to inform ongoing debates.

Book Synopsis Cuba, Old and New by : Albert G. Robinson
Download or read book Cuba, Old and New written by Albert G. Robinson and published by Good Press. This book was released on 2019-12-09 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The novel 'Cuba, Old and New' is a historical novel written about Cuba in the early 20th century, long before the present day political set up of the nation. It was the late 15th century when Christopher Columbus was at the height of his famed exploration voyages. Cruising in search of what he believed to be the eastern coast of Asia, he sighted the shore of Cuba on the morning of October 28, 1492. Having claimed the Island for Spain, it then took the explorer Velasquez to set up the first Spanish settlements in 1511. Following a long history of Spanish colonization, the fight for independence from Spaniard rule and the subsequent revolutions that took place, the nation of Cuba was formed. The book traces the key points in Cuban history till the start of the 20th century, providing a glimpse into Cuba's geographical, social and economic setup in the different periods until then.
