Download or read book Shifting Gears written by Cecelia Tichi and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2017-10-01 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shifting Gears is a richly illustrated exploration of the American era of gear-and-girder technology. From the 1890s to the 1920s machines and structures shaped by this technology emerged in many forms, from automobiles and harvesting machines to bridges and skyscrapers. The most casual onlooker to American life saw examples of the new technology on Main Street, on the local railway platform, and in the pages of popular magazines. A major consequence of this technology was its effect on the arts, in particular the literary arts. Three prominent American writers of the time -- Ernest Hemingway, John Dos Passos, and William Carlos Williams -- became designer-engineers of the word. Tichi reveals their use of prefabricated, manufactured components in poems and prose. As designers, they enacted in style and structure the new technological values. The writers, according to Tichi, thought of words themselves as objects for assembly into a design. Using materials from magazines, popular novels , movie reviews, the toy industry, and advertising, as well as the texts of the nation's major enduring writers, Tichi shows how turn-of-the-century technology pervaded every aspect of American culture and how this culture could be defined as a collaborative effort of the engineer, the architect, the fiction writer, and the poet. She demonstrates that a technological revolution is not a revolution only of science but of language as well. Originally published in 1987.

Book excerpt: From the publishers of Motorcycle Consumer News, Shifting Gears at 50 is a one-of-a-kind motorcycling manual for returning and late-entry riders, essentially anyone 40 years old and up who's looking to hit the road on two wheels. Author Philip Buonpastore, a motorcycle journalist and retired US Air Force photographer, helps readers gear up to get back on a motorcycle (or get on one for the first time).In Part 1, "Becoming a Motorcyclist," Buonpastore discusses the basics of buying the right bike, gear, and equipment and getting the bike up to speed. The book continues with a good overview of learning to ride, the importance of taking a road course, venturing out on the first ride, and extending rides to long-distance jaunts. Throughout Part 1 are sidebars by riding- safety instructor and expert Walt Fulton, offering sound advice on safety precautions and execution for every leg of the new and returning rider's journey. The author emphasizes what older riders should be aware of and which factors can affect their rides. Adding lots of great firsthand advice are humorous and helpful stories collected by the author and related by returning riders at various ages, from their late 30s to 60s.In Part 2, Buonpastore shares five of his favorite travelogues covering his long-distance tours around the US, from the American South to the west coasts. This section is illustrated by over 100 of the author's breathtaking photographs of the various locations he toured on his bike.The foreword to the book is provided by best-selling motorcycle author David Hough (author of I-5 Press's Proficient Motorcycling and Mastering the Ride). Hough writes, "If you're getting into today's motorcycling at an age your doctor would describe as ‘middle aged' or ‘senior,' do you yourself a clever favor and read Phil's book."

Book Synopsis The Inverted Crow : Me Ole Battleground by : JoAnne Mary McKnight
Download or read book The Inverted Crow : Me Ole Battleground written by JoAnne Mary McKnight and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2003 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of The Inverted Crow will inspire anyone who lacks self-confidence, feels unwanted, insufficient or in any way inadequate. Conversely, The Inverted Crow is important to self-assured individuals who wish to proactively become involved in their spiritual evolution. The story of the Crow is fiction; however, the advice that is given by ever-present seers throughout the journey is real and applicable. Screenplay writer Joseph Gunnels states, "It dips back into self-awakening again and again and again until the Crow is fully reborn. it is so deep and rich and thought-provoking and intelligent and edgy and requiring of consciousness..." Dr. Cecil Gray of Morgan State University describes the substance of The Inverted Crow as "large." The book is relative to philosophy and spirituality, African-American culture, social science and political science. Yet, The Inverted Crow is an allegorical piece of literature detailed in terms that can equally be described as poetic, lyrical and raw. On one side, individuals claim The Inverted Crow primarily for literary value - an engaging, enjoyable and delicious read. Others claim that the literature is secondary to the book's philosophical and spiritual content. Dr. Dolly Jenkins Mullen, political scientist at the University of North Carolina at Asheville, states, "This fiction work is a must-read for anyone sold on the concept of personal growth as the beginning of community development." The Inverted Crow was written to help individuals find peace within and live in peace; express God's holy love and receive it in joy; discover their reason for being; employ it to uplift the quality of life on earth; and empower all whom they meet to also experience the abundance of life.
Download or read book Novel-Poetry written by Emily Allen and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2024-09-05 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Novel-Poetry examines the verse-novel--a hybrid genre that emerged in the middle decades of Britain's nineteenth century--to make a larger claim about the nature of genre and formal structures for time, action, and identity that cross genres. The volume uncovers trajectories of literary influence that structure our approach to literature and affect how we shape our lives, lives which are often constrained by cause-and-effect and narrative-driven ways of approaching time and possibility. Novel-Poetry tracks an alternative way of thinking about time and event that was inspired by the French Revolution, popularized by Lord Byron, and explored by experimental Victorian poets such as Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Robert Browning, Arthur Hugh Clough, and George Meredith. The volume turns to the work of philosophers Alain Badiou, Jean-Pierre Dupuy, and Slavoj %Zi%zek to theorize this alternative mode, which it aligns with the "futur antérieur." The temporality of the future anterior disrupts both the novel's realist chronologies and the expressivist lyric's cult of "the moment," thus liberating possibilities for collective action. Ranging widely across romantic lyric poetry, Victorian novels, and nineteenth-century and contemporary literary theory, Novel-Poetry asks, what alternative structures and temporalities does a focus on either realistic narrative or the lyric moment occlude? Are there ways of thinking about lived experience and personal or collective agency that do not conform to traditional models, ways that the verse-novel might help us to explore? What might be gained today from trying to think about ourselves and our world outside of established frameworks that are now so naturalized as to feel almost inescapable?

Download or read book Dead Reckoning written by Ph.D. Nordby and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 1999-12-20 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Her Brentwood home became a hotbed for homicide. But in the wake of intense public and media attention, one saliant and hard truth was often overlooked: the murder of Nicole Brown-Simpson, while brutal and heinous in its form, was just one of thousands of homicides committed during that same year. Most escaped the scrutiny of public interest. Many never made it to trial, and still others were dismissed as natural deaths-perfect crimes that remain forever unsolved. How, then, do investigators solve a murder when the trail goes cold? Like mariners navigating without landmarks under a starless night sky-lacking a reliable witness or smoking gun-they plot their course through the clues by applying their own style of Dead Reckoning, reconstructing the crime by disciplined observation, careful reasoning, and experience. Dead Reckoning: The Art of Forensic Detection examines the applications of logic and science to decipher chaotic death scenes and difficult cases, and to derive orderly explanations from their jumbled clues. The 10 case studies in this book illustrate the powers of observation exercised in reading the signs, identifying them as clues, and reasoning from them to the best explanation. For investigators, as well as forensic pathologists, coroners, prosecutors, and defense attorneys, Dead Reckoning: The Art of Forensic Detection stresses the importance of trusting your own observations even in the wake of contradictory evidence.

Book Synopsis Modernist Women Writers and American Social Engagement by : Jody Cardinal
Download or read book Modernist Women Writers and American Social Engagement written by Jody Cardinal and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2019-03-15 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modernist Women Writers and American Social Engagement explores the role of social and political engagement by women writers in the development of American modernism. Examining a diverse array of genres by both canonical modernists and underrepresented writers, this collection uncovers an obscured strain of modernist activism. Each chapter provides a detailed cultural and literary analysis, revealing the ways in which modernists’ politically and socially engaged interventions shaped their writing. Considering issues such as working class women’s advocacy, educational reform, political radicalism, and the global implications for American literary production, this book examines the complexity of the relationship between creating art and fostering social change. Ultimately, this collection redefines the parameters of modernism while also broadening the conception of social engagement to include both readily acknowledged social movements as well as less recognizable forms of advocacy for social change.
Book Synopsis Francophone Literature as World Literature by : Christian Moraru
Download or read book Francophone Literature as World Literature written by Christian Moraru and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2020-06-25 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Francophone Literature as World Literature examines French-language works from a range of global traditions and shows how these literary practices draw individuals, communities, and their cultures and idioms into a planetary web of tension and cross-fertilization. The Francophone corpus under scrutiny here comes about in the evolving, markedly relational context provided by these processes and their developments during and after the French empire. The 15 chapters of this collection delve into key aspects, moments, and sites of the literature flourishing throughout the francosphere after World War II and especially since the 1980s, from the French Hexagon to the Caribbean and India, and from Québec to the Maghreb and Romania. Understood and practiced as World Literature, Francophone literature claims--with particular force in the wake of the littérature-monde debate--its place in a more democratic world republic of letters, where writers, critics, publishers, and audiences are no longer beholden to traditional centers of cultural authority.

Yet while probing beneath the sweet harmony, Harry discovers the dark history of a marriage made somewhere south of heaven -- and delves into the cutthroat world of the C&W music business, where deceit, betrayal, passion, and vengeance are sung about . . . and ruthlessly performed. "A rising star among the current crop of American novelists." -- Nashville Banner From the Paperback edition.
