Book Synopsis Fit for a King: The Royal Garage of the Shahs of Iran by : Borzou Sepasi
Download or read book Fit for a King: The Royal Garage of the Shahs of Iran written by Borzou Sepasi and published by . This book was released on 2022-03-22 with total page 560 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A wide-ranging history of royal automobiles in twentieth-century Iran. Iran's monarchial history spans over 2,500 years; the automobile's, not much over a century. It was not long after the advent of the earliest cars, however, that Iran's Shahan Shahs used their broad powers to begin procuring some of the world's most renowned and unique automobiles for their royal garages. In his wide-ranging new book, Iranian automotive historian Borzou Sepasi details the story of the royal garage of each Shah of Iran, beginning in 1900 with Mozaffar ad-Din Shah Qajar, who, despite importing the country's first car, forbade drivers from traveling faster than horse-drawn carriages. Intertwining the major events in Iran's recent history--including the 1979 revolution and the end of monarchial rule--with the cars of the period, Fit for a King highlights the special roles these singular luxury vehicles played throughout the twentieth century. Magnificently illustrated with more than six hundred images of regal vehicles, Sepasi's book shines a light for Western readers on this fascinating yet little-known niche in automotive history.

Book excerpt: It's 1963 and fourteen-year-old Esther Young is looking for excitement.

King-Roy Johnson shows up on Esther's doorstep that summer, an angry young man who feels betrayed by the nonviolent teachings of Martin Luther King Jr. Sent north by his mother to escape a lynch mob, he meets a follower of Malcolm X's who uses radical teachings about black revolution to fuel King-Roy's anger and frustration.

Book Synopsis Fighting Traffic by : Peter D. Norton
Download or read book Fighting Traffic written by Peter D. Norton and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2011-01-21 with total page 409 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fight for the future of the city street between pedestrians, street railways, and promoters of the automobile between 1915 and 1930. Before the advent of the automobile, users of city streets were diverse and included children at play and pedestrians at large. By 1930, most streets were primarily a motor thoroughfares where children did not belong and where pedestrians were condemned as “jaywalkers.” In Fighting Traffic, Peter Norton argues that to accommodate automobiles, the American city required not only a physical change but also a social one: before the city could be reconstructed for the sake of motorists, its streets had to be socially reconstructed as places where motorists belonged. It was not an evolution, he writes, but a bloody and sometimes violent revolution. Norton describes how street users struggled to define and redefine what streets were for. He examines developments in the crucial transitional years from the 1910s to the 1930s, uncovering a broad anti-automobile campaign that reviled motorists as “road hogs” or “speed demons” and cars as “juggernauts” or “death cars.” He considers the perspectives of all users—pedestrians, police (who had to become “traffic cops”), street railways, downtown businesses, traffic engineers (who often saw cars as the problem, not the solution), and automobile promoters. He finds that pedestrians and parents campaigned in moral terms, fighting for “justice.” Cities and downtown businesses tried to regulate traffic in the name of “efficiency.” Automotive interest groups, meanwhile, legitimized their claim to the streets by invoking “freedom”—a rhetorical stance of particular power in the United States. Fighting Traffic offers a new look at both the origins of the automotive city in America and how social groups shape technological change.

Book Synopsis Kings of Disaster by : Simon Simonse
Download or read book Kings of Disaster written by Simon Simonse and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2023-11-27 with total page 498 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study of the rainmakers of the Nilotic Sudan means a breakthrough in anthropological thinking on African political systems. Taking his inspiration from Rene Girard's theory of consensual scapegoating the author shows that the long standing distinction of states and stateless societies as two fundamentally different political types does not hold. Centralized and segmentary systems only differ in the relative emphasis put on the victimary role of the king as compared with that of enemy victims. Kings of Disaster so proposes an uninvolved solution to the vexed problem of regicide. Recent cases occurring during the great drought of the mid-1980's are discribed and analyzed. Making simultaneous use of first-hand field data and archival sources, the book offers the first presentation of five Nilotic communities on the East Bank of the Nile. This study offers a new perspective on the role of violence in the structuring of society.
