Book Synopsis The Greek House by : Christian Brechneff
Download or read book The Greek House written by Christian Brechneff and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2013-06-11 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A richly rewarding narrative about a young painter's love affair with the Greek island of Sifnos When Christian Brechneff first set foot on the Greek island of Sifnos, it was the spring of 1972 and he was a twenty-one-year-old painter searching for artistic inspiration and a quiet place to work. There, this Swiss child of Russian émigrés, adrift and confused about his sexuality, found something extraordinary. In Sifnos, he found a muse, a subject he was to paint for years, and a sanctuary. In The Greek House, Brechneff tells a funny, touching narrative about his relationship to Sifnos, writing with warmth about its unforgettable residents and the house he bought in a hilltop farm village. This is the story of how he fell in love with Greece, and how it became a haven from the complexities of his life in Western Europe and New York. It is the story of his village and of the island during the thirty-odd years he owned the house—from a time when there were barely any roads, to the arrival of the modern world with its tourists and high-speed boats and the euro. And it is the story of the end of the love affair—how the island changed and he changed, how he discovered he had outgrown Sifnos, or couldn't grow there anymore. The Greek House is a celebration of place and an honest narrative of self-discovery. In its pages, a naïve and inexperienced young man comes into his own. Weaving himself into the life of the island, painting it year after year, he finds a place he can call home.
Book Synopsis Milwaukee Television History by : Dick Golembiewski
Download or read book Milwaukee Television History written by Dick Golembiewski and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 520 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Milwaukee - not New York, Chicago or Los Angeleswas the scene of a number of television firsts: The Journal Company filed the very first application for a commercial TV license with the FCC in 1938. The first female program director and news director in a major market were both at Milwaukee stations. The city was a major battleground in the VHF vs. UHF war that began in the 1950s. The battle to put an educational TV station on the air was fought at the national, state and local levels by the Milwaukee Vocational School. WMVS-TV was the first educational TV station to run a regular schedule of colorcasts, and WMVT was the site of the first long-distance rest of a digital over-theair signal." "This detailed story of the rich history of the city's television stations since 1930 is told through facts, anecdotes, and quotations from the on-air talent, engineers, and managers who conceived, constructed, and put the stations on the air. Included are discussions of the many locally-produced shows - often done live - that once made up a large part of a station's broadcast day. Through these stories - some told here for the first time - and the book's extensive photographic images, the history of Milwaukee television comes alive again for the reader." "From the first early tests using mechanical scanning methods in the 1930s, through the first successful digital television tests, the politics, conflicts, triumphs, and failures of Milwaukee's television stations are described in fascinating detail." --Book Jacket.

Katharine stood upright, shook her skirt free of the pebbles she had collected in her lap, picked up her basket and book, and turned to go. From the road behind the shore came a series of short, sharp barks. Surely, she thought, that was not a sheep dog. The next moment a wildly excited little white ball came tumbling down the slope, and was followed a moment later by a man in gray, walking rapidly towards her. As soon as she caught sight of the outline of his figure against the sky, she stopped suddenly. For a moment a darkness came before her eyes, and her knees trembled. The little dog jumped wildly about her, but she did not heed him. The man came nearer. As he came he raised his hat and just spoke her name in a low voice: "Katharine!" When she heard his voice, she started forward and her lips parted. But no sound came from them. They only trembled a little. "Katharine!" he said again, hoarsely, putting out his hands. She came two steps nearer and, stretching out both her own, she laid them in his, and stood before him, her head bent so low that her face was hidden. The man's face flushed. "No," he said, almost roughly, "no, don't do that. Look at me. For God's sake, look at me, Katharine." She raised her head, and their eyes met. "I have come, you see, as soon as you sent for me, though--if you remember--I swore I would never see you again. Tell me now, if you can, what made you say what you did to me at that awful time? It was a brutal thing to say to a man, Katharine." "Jim," and she disengaged one hand to wipe her eyes clear of the tears...

Book Synopsis Troubles with Turtles by : Dimitris Theodossopoulos
Download or read book Troubles with Turtles written by Dimitris Theodossopoulos and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2003-03-01 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The people of Vassilikos, farmers and tourist entrepreneurs on the Greek island of Zakynthos, are involved in a bitter environmental dispute concerning the conservation of sea turtles. Against the environmentalists' practices and ideals they set their own culture of relating to the land, cultivation, wild and domestic animals. Written from an anthropological perspective, this book puts forward the idea that a thorough study of indigenous cultures is a fundamental step to understanding conflicts over the environment. For this purpose, the book offers a detailed account of the cultural depth and richness of the human environmental relationship in Vassilikos, focusing on the engagement of its inhabitants with diverse aspects of the local environment, such as animal care, agriculture, tourism and hunting.
