Download or read book Arcadia for All written by Dennis Hardy and published by Five Leaves Publications. This book was released on 2004 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Canvey Island to Jaywick Sands, from Peacehaven to Pitsea; in the first 40 years of last century, thousands of English families made their own place in the sun, without benefit of councils, planners, architects, building societies, or even builders. Were they, as many planners and environmentalists suggested, making rural slums and seaside eyesores, or were they providing a unique example of unaided self-build housing, with lessons for us all today? Here Dennis Hardy and Colin Ward uncover the history of the 'plotlands' of South-East England, telling the fascinating detail of the places people built for themselves on the coast and in the country, and of what happened to them since, drawing parallels with similar developments in other parts of the world.

Book excerpt: A laboratory curiosity at first, lithium is now a part of our society. Unknown to most people, it is being used in many practical applications, such as ceramics, greases, electronics, medicine, and hopefully in the future, will be used in a fusion that would solve world’s energy problems. While lithium has been the subject of many specific publications, no comprehensive book covering all aspects of lithium has been published so far. This book discusses the original discovery of lithium, its development from a mineral of curiosity to an expanding industry, its geological occurrences, and its various applications, culminating in its present use in the ever-expanding electromotive industry. The author’s wonderful and exciting experiences of his long lithium career shared in the book will satisfy the readers’ curiosity about this expanding industry.

Book Synopsis The British Pacific Fleet Experience and Legacy, 1944–50 by : Jon Robb-Webb
Download or read book The British Pacific Fleet Experience and Legacy, 1944–50 written by Jon Robb-Webb and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-16 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The British Pacific Fleet was formed in October 1944 and dispatched to fight alongside the USN in the Central Pacific under Admiral Nimitz. Deploying previously unpublished documents, this book reveals how relations between the UK and US forces developed from a starting point of barely repressed suspicion, to one where both navies came to understand each other and eventually find a remarkable bond. Born out of a shared experience of Kamikaze attacks, extended operations against bitterly hostile shores, the pooling of knowledge and experience, the two navies underpinned the diplomatic moves in both Washington and London. The book carries the legacy of this experience through to the next Anglo-American participation in war, Korea. It illustrates and explains how and why certain lessons were incorporated into the composition, behaviour and structure of the post-war Navy. It demonstrates the significance of what was learned from the USN by the RN and by USN from the RN. As well as examining the background to the largest fleet the Royal Navy ever put to sea, the book also charts its effects on Anglo-American relations, multinational operations, alliance building, and the ways naval forces are shaped by and in turn shape politics. It addresses a period of rapid technological development that witnessed profound changes in the international system, and which raised fundamental questions of what navies were for and how should they operate and organize themselves. In so doing the study illustrates how the experience of a few long months at the end of the war in the Pacific would cast a long shadow over these issues in the very different circumstances of the post-war world.

Book excerpt: Break it now. Fix it later. That’s the Steamfitter way. In ages past, the Ambrosian did a number on the world. It’s amazing how stupid humans can be.

When a strange substance falls from the sky, Jovian Steamfitter is fascinated. He discovers how to refine it, creating a new technology, one that might pay off his bank loans. Little does he understand that this substance is firmament, and that he’s single-handedly sparked an international arms race. Assembling a crack team of housekeepers, circus performers, and orphans, he sets off in the wrong direction, determined that somebody else should overcome this challenge at any cost.

Book excerpt: In a world ravaged by apocalyptic destruction, where the remnants of humanity cling to survival amidst the ruins of their former civilization, "Echoes of Arcadia: Legacy of a Lost World" unfolds an epic tale of resilience, hope, and the quest for a forgotten utopia. Authored by Amro Heikal, this gripping novel blends dystopian grit with a profound exploration of human endurance in the face of overwhelming despair. The story centers around Maya, a determined survivor burdened by memories of a better past and driven by the myth of Arcadia-a legendary sanctuary said to be untouched by world-end calamities, where the remnants of the old world thrive. Together with a band of unlikely allies, including the cautious Jax and enigmatic Kai, Maya embarks on a perilous journey across desolate landscapes haunted by mutant creatures and ruthless marauders. As they navigate the perils of a fractured world, Maya and her companions uncover the dark truths about Arcadia and the powerful entity known as Genexis, whose shadowy machinations have shaped the fate of humanity. The deeper they delve into the mysteries of the past, the more they realize that the path to salvation is riddled with sacrifices and the echoes of moral quandaries long forgotten. "Echoes of Arcadia" is not just a journey across a post-apocalyptic terrain; it is also a deep dive into the soul of humanity. It examines the ethical limits of scientific pursuit, the corrupting allure of power, and the unyielding strength of the human spirit to adapt and overcome. The narrative is rich with vivid descriptions, complex characters, and a compelling plot that balances intense action with thoughtful reflection. Amro Heikal's novel is an invitation to explore a world where hope persists in the darkest corners, where every heartache is a step towards redemption, and where the future of humanity might just hinge on uncovering the secrets of its past. For fans of dystopian adventures and philosophical sci-fi, "Echoes of Arcadia: Legacy of a Lost World" offers an unforgettable journey that resonates long after the last page is turned.
Book Synopsis Polybius and His Legacy by : Nikos Miltsios
Download or read book Polybius and His Legacy written by Nikos Miltsios and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2018-03-19 with total page 465 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although scholars continue to address old questions about Polybius, it is clear that they are also turning their attention to aspects of his history that have been inadequately dealt with in the past or have even gone largely unnoticed. Polybius' history is increasingly treated not just as a source of valuable information on the impressive expansion of Roman rule in the Mediterranean world, but also as a complex and nuanced narrative with its own interests and purposes. Moreover, since (apart from Livy's use of Polybius, which has been thoroughly discussed) most studies of Polybius' reception focus on the modern world, especially in relation to the theory of mixed constitutions, finding out more about Polybius' impact on ancient Greek and Roman authors remains a major desideratum. This volume brings together contributions which, in either posing new questions or reformulating old ones, attest both to the ardent scholarly interest currently directed toward Polybius and to the variety of hermeneutical issues raised by his work. Subjects discussed include Polybius' historical ideas, his methods of composition, his views on the role of the historian, his representation of cultural difference, his intertextual affinities, and his reception and influence. Taken together, the papers in this collection attempt to promote a deeper understanding of the qualities and peculiarities of Polybius' history, as well as to offer fresh insights into the interpretation of this important work.
Book Synopsis Du Bartas' Legacy in England and Scotland by : Peter Auger
Download or read book Du Bartas' Legacy in England and Scotland written by Peter Auger and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2019-10-31 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Guillaume de Saluste Du Bartas was the most popular and widely-imitated poet in sixteenth- and seventeenth-century England and Scotland. C. S. Lewis felt that a reconsideration of his works' British reception was 'long overdue' back in the 1950s, and this study finally provides the first comprehensive account of how English-speaking authors read, translated, imitated, and eventually discarded Du Bartas' model for Protestant poetry. The first part shows that Du Bartas' friendship with James VI and I was key to his later popularity. Du Bartas' poetry symbolized a transnational Protestant literary culture in Huguenot France and Britain. Through Jamesâ intervention, Scottish literary tastes had a significant impact in England. Later chapters assess how Sidney, Spenser, Milton, and many other poets justified writing poetic fictions in reaction to Du Bartas' austere emphasis on scriptural truth. These chapters give equal attention to how Du Bartas' example offered a route into original verse composition for male and female poets across the literate population. Du Bartas' Legacy in England and Scotland responds to recent developments in transnational and translation studies, the history of reading, women's writing, religious literature, and manuscript studies. It argues that Du Bartas' legacy deserves far greater prominence than it has previously received because it offers a richer, more democratic, and more accurate view of sixteenth- and seventeenth-century English, Scottish, and French literature and religious culture.

Book Synopsis Winston-Salem's African American Legacy by : Cheryl Streeter Harry
Download or read book Winston-Salem's African American Legacy written by Cheryl Streeter Harry and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2013-02-04 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winston-Salem was created in 1913 when the City of Winston and the Town of Salem merged. Salem was established in 1766 by the Moravian Church as a devout religious community. The county seat of Winston was formed out of Salem in 1849. African Americans had no voice in the consolidation; however, these descendants of slaves built a legacy in a "separate and unequal" municipality in the 20th century. The thriving tobacco industry delivered swift progress for African Americans in the Twin City, placing them on the level of the "Black Wall Street" cities in the South. Slater Industrial Academy (now Winston-Salem State University) provided the educational foundation. WAAA radio gave the community an active voice in 1950. Winston-Salem's African American Legacy showcases the significant contributions through the lens of the city's historical cultural institutions.
Download or read book A Shared Legacy written by Fintan Cullen and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Shared Legacy: Essays on Irish and Scottish Art and Visual Culture brings together for the first time a unique selection of new research by leading Irish, Scottish, English and North American scholars to explore the varying ways in which the visual can operate within the context of two countries with related experiences of lost statehood yet retained nationhood. Covering a span of three centuries, this skilfully-crafted book takes the discussion of Irish and Scottish art beyond the often isolationist approach adopted in the past, dealing directly with issues of nationality in a wider context. The authors identify national concerns through a range of themes: race, class, union and assimilation or nationalism and internationalism and while many of the essays focus on paintings, sculpture, prints and watercolours, others consider a wider notion of visual culture by investigating photography, magic lantern slides and the home arts of embroidery and textiles.
Download or read book Glitch Feminism written by Legacy Russell and published by Verso Books. This book was released on 2020-09-29 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The divide between the digital and the real world no longer exists: we are connected all the time. How do we find out who we are within this digital era? Where do we create the space to explore our identity? How can we come together and create solidarity? The glitch is often dismissed as an error, a faulty overlaying, but, as Legacy Russell shows, liberation can be found within the fissures between gender, technology and the body that it creates. The glitch offers the opportunity for us to perform and transform ourselves in an infinite variety of identities. In Glitch Feminism, Russell makes a series of radical demands through memoir, art and critical theory, and the work of contemporary artists who have travelled through the glitch in their work. Timely and provocative, Glitch Feminism shows how the error can be a revolution.
