Download or read book Multi-stories written by Kalpana Sahni and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2010-06-02 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This unique work explores, through personal narratives, the overlapping and intermingling of cultures as well as the immense cultural diversity across the world. This exploration inevitably questions notions of higher or lower cultures, and civilized or uncivilized peoples. Indeed it questions the very concept of superiority amongst peoples. Apart from cross-cultural encounters, this work also discusses how various democratic and non-democratic governments and organizations have attempted to conceal cross-cultural influences by inventing superiority, purity, and authenticity of cultures and civilizations to the detriment of others. Yet cross-culture pollination, an ongoing process, always reveals itself through the ignored cracks of history. The book shows that India is no exception and has been and continues to be porous. The numerous examples of cross-pollination -- with Algeria, Indonesia, Cambodia, to mention a few -- force us to re-look cultural constructs and indeed the very meaning of culture."--Publisher's website

This book was released on 2020-11-20 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Skyscrapers are an American original. A century ago, towering technological marvels like the Flatiron Building dramatically transformed cities across the United States and soon spread around the globe. Today, as these graceful structures are rediscovered and put to new use, learn the inspiring and long-forgotten stories of how they came to be.Here are the surprising details of America's early millionaires--the complex characters they were and the companies they built, the risks they took, the dreams they chased, and the explosion of raw economic power and societal disruption they unleashed on a young nation. A lively collection of case studies and popular history reveals the entrepreneurs who built American corporate culture, with their successes and failures, triumphs and tragedies. Whether rags-to-riches immigrants, crafty clerks, ambitious officials, or perceptive investors, each is a tale of perseverance and vision ultimately brought to fruition, and a legacy that is now ours to experience in the grand old skyscrapers they left behind.Award-winning writer and speaker Mark Houser weaves extensive historical research with observations from his visits to these buildings to construct a personal guided tour of 55 fascinating antique skyscrapers across America and abroad.

Book Synopsis The United Stories of America by : Rolf Lundén
Download or read book The United Stories of America written by Rolf Lundén and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2022-06-08 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses the American short story composite, or short story cycle, a neglected form of writing consisting of autonomous stories interlocking into a whole. The critical work done on this genre has so far focused on the closural strategies of the composites, on how unity is accomplished in these texts. This study takes into consideration, to a greater degree than earlier criticism, the short story composite as an open work, emphasizing the tension between the independent stories and the unified work, between the discontinuity and fragmentation, on the one hand, and the totalizing strategies, on the other. The discussion of the genre is illustrated with references to numerous American short story composites.
Book Synopsis Stories Employers Tell by : Philip Moss
Download or read book Stories Employers Tell written by Philip Moss and published by Russell Sage Foundation. This book was released on 2001-01-25 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is the United States justified in seeing itself as a meritocracy, where stark inequalities in pay and employment reflect differences in skills, education,and effort? Or does racial discrimination still permeate the labor market, resulting in the systematic under hiring and underpaying of racial minorities, regardless of merit? Throughout the 1980s and early 1990s African Americans have lost ground to whites in the labor market, but this widening racial inequality is most often attributed to economic restructuring, not the racial attitudes of employers. It is argued that the educational gap between blacks and whites, though narrowing, carries greater penalties now that we are living in an era of global trade and technological change that favors highly educated workers and displaces the low-skilled. Stories Employers Tell demonstrates that this conventional wisdom is incomplete. Racial discrimination is still a fundamental part of the explanation of labor market disadvantage. Drawing upon a wide-ranging survey of employers in Atlanta, Boston, Detroit, and Los Angeles, Moss and Tilly investigate the types of jobs employers offer, the skills required, and the recruitment, screening and hiring procedures used to fill them. The authors then follow up in greater depth on selected employers to explore the attitudes, motivations, and rationale underlying their hiring decisions, as well as decisions about where to locate a business. Moss and Tilly show how an employer's perception of the merit or suitability of a candidate is often colored by racial stereotypes and culture-bound expectations. The rising demand for soft skills, such as communication skills and people skills, opens the door to discrimination that is rarely overt, or even conscious, but is nonetheless damaging to the prospects of minority candidates and particularly difficult to police. Some employers expressed a concern to race-match employees with the customers they are likely to be dealing with. As more jobs require direct interaction with the public, race has become increasingly important in determining labor market fortunes. Frequently, employers also take into account the racial make-up of neighborhoods when deciding where to locate their businesses. Ultimately, it is the hiring decisions of employers that determine whether today's labor market reflects merit or prejudice. This book, the result of years of careful research, offers us a rare opportunity to view the issue of discrimination through the employers' eyes. A Volume in the Multi-City Study of Urban Inequality
Download or read book On Stories written by Richard Kearney and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2002-09-09 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stories offer us some of the richest and most enduring insights into the human condition and have preoccupied philosophy since Aristotle. On Stories presents in clear and compelling style just why narrative has this power over us and argues that the unnarrated life is not worth living. Drawing on the work of James Joyce, Sigmund Freud's patient 'Dora' and the case of Oscar Schindler, Richard Kearney skilfully illuminates how stories not only entertain us but can determine our lives and personal identities. He also considers nations as stories, including the story of Romulus and Remus in the founding of Rome. Throughout, On Stories stresses that, far from heralding the demise of narrative, the digital era merely opens up new stories.

Book Synopsis WE MUST HEAR ALL THE STORIES by : Chief Nnamdi A. Ekenna
Download or read book WE MUST HEAR ALL THE STORIES written by Chief Nnamdi A. Ekenna and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2014-07-16 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From an innocuous encounter in an airplane, to discourses of the enrichment of the only philosophy his own father handed down to him, through issues of concern for dereliction of education, to building a wholesome and homogeneous community. He highlights issues through his own journey through life and the numerous recordation of those he had made and shared in a span of close to two decades, blending fun and earnest graveness without being preachy or sanctimonious. Drawing from the Desiderata and his favorite prayer, Good Morning God, he uses an engaging discourse form to deliver the message that our stories, individually and collectively, written or unwritten, is the culminant of the world's story. In this book, he shows that inspiration is not farfetched and that from effecting liveability in our immediate surrounding we can shape our story to effect "points of contact and communication" that will eventually give "the world story, the great Story, .....a chance to develop."
Book Synopsis Love and Other Thought Experiments by : Sophie Ward
Download or read book Love and Other Thought Experiments written by Sophie Ward and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2021-09-28 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This impressive debut novel, longlisted for the 2020 Booker Prize, takes its premise and inspiration from ten of the best-known thought experiments in philosophy—the what-ifs of philosophical investigation—and uses them to talk about love in a wholly unique way. Married couple Rachel and Eliza are considering having a child. Rachel wants one desperately, and Eliza thinks she does, too, but she can't quite seem to wrap her head around the idea. When Rachel wakes up screaming one night and tells Eliza that an ant has crawled into her eye and is stuck there, Eliza initially sees it as a cry for attention. But Rachel is adamant. She knows it sounds crazy—but she also knows it's true. As a scientist, Eliza is skeptical. Suddenly their entire relationship is called into question. What follows is a uniquely imaginative sequence of ten interconnecting episodes—each from a different character's perspective—inspired by some of the best-known thought experiments in philosophy. Together they form a sparkling philosophical tale of love lost and found across the universe.

Book excerpt: The most comprehensive reference ever compiled about the rich and enduring genre of comic books and graphic novels, from their emergence in the 1930s to their late-century breakout into the mainstream.

Key franchises such as Superman and Batman are the center of a constellation of related entries that include graphic novels and other imprints featuring the same characters or material.
