Book Synopsis The Twin Cities by : Nicholas Whitcomb
Download or read book The Twin Cities written by Nicholas Whitcomb and published by Bookbaby. This book was released on 2019-10-15 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You never know where a good cake can take you. Young alligator Riley is just trying to get his foot-claw in the door of the baking world. But even with the help of his Beast friends-his hyena roommate, a raccoon clockmaker neighbour, a creative equine, his porcupine mentor, a new cheetah and a half-drunk horse-it's all he can do just to get by. In an aged city without electricity or paved roads, deluged by constant rain, they must struggle to scavenge what they can to survive. This would be hard enough without the Pure on the other side of the bridges-humanity-treating them like mere animals. It's with great hope that Riley bakes his first ever cake to sell. The last thing he expected was that it would catch the attention of a Pure. Once the eyes of Captain Kauffner are set on Riley, everything spirals out of control. Now Riley and his companions are dodging the dead things that roam the streets, marching through the overhunted wilds surrounding the city, crossing paths with killers, dealing with unscrupulous rival bakers, and putting a stop to rampaging machines, all the while ricocheting down a terrible crash course into secrets Beasts were never meant to find-and while something menacing watches them from the sewers. Each gathered ingredient, every step toward the perfect cake, brings Riley closer to who he is and the Beasts who surround him. As he's pulled along by the confections and life beyond his doorstep, Riley finds there is courage in cake icing and sugar. Nick Whitcomb's vivid and imaginative debut The Twin Cities is a story of community, catastrophe, and cake sure to resonate with readers of fantasy and horror alike.

Book Synopsis Twin Tollans by : Cynthia Kristan-Graham
Download or read book Twin Tollans written by Cynthia Kristan-Graham and published by Dumbarton Oaks. This book was released on 2007 with total page 658 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume had its beginnings in the two-day colloquium, "Rethinking Chichén Itzá, Tula and Tollan," that was held at Dumbarton Oaks. The selected essays revisit long-standing questions regarding the nature of the relationship between Chichen Itza and Tula. Rather than approaching these questions through the notions of migrations and conquests, these essays place the cities in the context of the emerging social, political, and economic relationships that took shape during the transition from the Epiclassic period in Central Mexico, the Terminal Classic period in the Maya region, and the succeeding Early Postclassic period.

Book Synopsis City of Sacrifice by : David Carrasco
Download or read book City of Sacrifice written by David Carrasco and published by Beacon Press. This book was released on 2000-12-08 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At an excavation of the Great Aztec Temple in Mexico City, amid carvings of skulls and a dismembered warrior goddess, David Carrasco stood before a container filled with the decorated bones of infants and children. It was the site of a massive human sacrifice, and for Carrasco the center of fiercely provocative questions: If ritual violence against humans was a profound necessity for the Aztecs in their capital city, is it central to the construction of social order and the authority of city states? Is civilization built on violence? In City of Sacrifice,Carrasco chronicles the fascinating story of Tenochtitlan, the Aztec capital, investigating Aztec religious practices and demonstrating that religious violence was integral to urbanization; the city itself was a temple to the gods. That Mexico City, the largest city on earth, was built on the ruins of Tenochtitlan, is a point Carrasco poignantly considers in his comparison of urban life from antiquity to modernity. Majestic in scope, City of Sacrifice illuminates not only the rich history of a major Meso american city but also the inseparability of two passionate human impulses: urbanization and religious engagement. It has much to tell us about many familiar events in our own time, from suicide bombings in Tel Aviv to rape and murder in the Balkans.

Book Synopsis Narrating Objects, Collecting Stories by : Sandra Dudley
Download or read book Narrating Objects, Collecting Stories written by Sandra Dudley and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-06-14 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Narrating Objects, Collecting Stories is a wide-ranging collection of essays exploring the stories that can be told about objects and those who choose to collect them. Examining objects and collecting in different historical, social and institutional contexts, an international, interdisciplinary group of authors consider the meanings and values with which objects are imputed and the processes and implications of collecting. This includes considering the entanglement of objects and collectors alike in webs of social relations, the creation of value and social change; object biographies and the stories – often conflicting – that objects come to represent; and the strategies used to reconstruct and retell the narratives of objects. The book includes considerations of individual objects and groups of objects, such as domestic interiors, Chinese Buddhist artefacts, novelty tea-pots, Scottish stone monuments, African ironworking, a postcolonial painting and memorials to those killed on the roads in Australia. It also contains chapters dealing with particular collectors – including Charles Bell and Beatrix Potter – and representational techniques.
