Book Synopsis Vilnius between Nations, 1795–2000 by : Theodore R. Weeks
Download or read book Vilnius between Nations, 1795–2000 written by Theodore R. Weeks and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2015-12-04 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The inhabitants of Vilnius, the present-day capital of Lithuania, have spoken various languages and professed different religions while living together in relative harmony over the years. The city has played a significant role in the history and development of at least three separate cultures—Polish, Lithuanian, and Jewish—and until very recently, no single cultural-linguistic group composed the clear majority of its population. Vilnius between Nations, 1795–2000 is the first study to undertake a balanced assessment of this particularly diverse city. Theodore Weeks examines Vilnius as a physical entity where people lived, worked, and died; as the object of rhetorical struggles between disparate cultures; and as a space where the state attempted to legitimize a specific version of cultural politics through street names, monuments, and urban planning. In investigating these aspects, Weeks avoids promoting any one national narrative of the history of the city, while acknowledging the importance of national cultures and their opposing myths of the city's identity. The story of Vilnius as a multicultural city and the negotiations that allowed several national groups to inhabit a single urban space can provide lessons that are easily applied to other diverse cities. This study will appeal to scholars of Eastern Europe, urban studies, and multiculturalism, as well as general readers interested in the region.

Book Synopsis THE RESIDENCE PLOT SELECTION MODEL FOR FAMILY HOUSE IN VILNIUS BY NEUTROSOPHIC WASPAS METHOD by : Romualdas BAUŠYS
Download or read book THE RESIDENCE PLOT SELECTION MODEL FOR FAMILY HOUSE IN VILNIUS BY NEUTROSOPHIC WASPAS METHOD written by Romualdas BAUŠYS and published by Infinite Study. This book was released on with total page 15 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Good quality dwelling and the environment are related to the values of citizens’ existence. It can be highlighted as important questions in creating a sustainable living environment. The research and analysis carried out so far include global planning of the plot of a particular country or city according to economic aspects. Meanwhile, our model, which covers the key social aspects of choosing a residential house, will fill this gap. We propose an original problem formulated which includes the planning of the plot of a particular city according to economic, environmental and social aspects. Our work aims to investigate the criteria for the selection of single-family houses and to develop a theoretical evaluation model based on decision-making methods. The presented study deals with the problem of selecting a one-family house plot using the Weighted Aggregate Sum Product Assessment Methods (WASPAS) and the Step-Wise Weight Assessment Ratio Analysis Method (SWARA). During the research, parameters related to plot selection were evaluated: infrastructure, distance, cost, privacy, security and aesthetic view.
Book Synopsis Following My Thumb by : Gabriel Morris
Download or read book Following My Thumb written by Gabriel Morris and published by John Hunt Publishing. This book was released on 2012-06-29 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following My Thumb follows the wandering, rambling, bumbling travels of Gabriel Morris from 1990-2000. In the summer of 1990, at the age of 18, he sets off to Europe with his over-sized backpack, thumb guiding the way. He hitchhikes the entire length of Great Britain, sleeps in barns, on bridges and beaches and under benches, explores the Greek Isles, sneaks into a Parisian movie theater, spends a night at the center of the Place de la Concorde roundabout, and more. In Part 2 of the book, he spends the bulk of the mid-1990s as a wandering traveler back home in the United States, searching for something elusive: a place to call home, a community, love, adventure, meaning, purpose. He both finds and loses all to varying degrees as he attends tribal Rainbow Gatherings in the woods, falls in and out of love on the road, lives on farms and communes, and spends several months in an idyllic valley, far from civilization in the Hawaiian rainforest. The book culminates with his amazing and thought-provoking travels in the mystical land of India. ,

Book excerpt: AS HEARD ON CBC'S THE NEXT CHAPTER WITH SHELAGH ROGERS After World War I and the collapse of Czarist Russia, former counterintelligence officer Justas Adamonis returns to Lithuania, a fragment of the shattered Empire. He's not entirely sure what he’ll find. His parents are dead, he hasn’t seen his sister since she was a teenager, and Kaunas has become the political center of the emerging state. He’s barely off the train when he’s recruited back into service, this time for the nascent government eager to secure his loyalty and experience. Though the administration may be new, its problems are familiar, and Adamonis quickly finds himself ensnared in a dangerous web of political corruption and personal betrayal. Antanas Sileika's Provisionally Yours is a vivid depiction of realpolitik—as well as an unforgettable story about treachery and the enduring human capacity for love.
Book Synopsis The Three Tragic Heroes of the Vilnius Ghetto by : N. N. Shneidman
Download or read book The Three Tragic Heroes of the Vilnius Ghetto written by N. N. Shneidman and published by Oakville, Ont. : Mosaic Press. This book was released on 2002 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A history of the Vilna ghetto, focusing on resistance and on the Judenrat, and revolving around three persons: Yitzhak Wittenberg, the leader of the United Partisan Organization (FPO) in Vilna; Yechiel (Ilya) Sheinbaum, who led the Second Fighting Organization; and Jacob Gens, the head of the ghetto and of the Jewish police. Criticizes the strategic plan for a "last minute uprising" which was adopted by the FPO instead of the more promising strategy of escape from the ghetto and joining the Soviet partisans. With the surrender of Wittenberg in July 1943, the FPO lost its only able and resolute commander. Contends that there was no "Vilna ghetto uprising", but only the defense of the house at Strashune 6 on 1 September 1943; it was defended by Sheinbaum's organization and by unaffiliated fighters, rather than by the FPO. Ideological and political rivalries between different factions of the ghetto resistance precluded the possibility of escape and survival of many able-bodied Jews. Depicts Gens as a controversial figure, whose relations with the resistance were ambivalent; dismisses accusations that he was a Nazi collaborator or a leader drunk with power.

Download or read book The Barefoot Bingo Caller written by Antanas Sileika and published by ECW Press. This book was released on 2017-05-09 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A rollicking memoir through the shifting zeitgeist of the last five decades p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 16.0px Times; -webkit-text-stroke: #000000} span.s1 {font-kerning: none} In The Barefoot Bingo Caller, Antanas Sileika finds what’s funny and touching in the most unlikely places, from the bingo hall to the collapsing Soviet Union. He shares stories that span his attempts to shake off his suburban, ethnic, folk-dancing childhood to his divided allegiance as a Lithuanian-Canadian father. Antanas has a keen eye for social comedy, bringing to life such memorable characters as ageing beat poets, oblivious college students, the queen of the booze cans, and an obdurate porcupine. Passing through places as varied as the prime minister’s office and the streets of Paris, these wry and moving dispatches on work and family, art, and identity are ones to be shared and savoured.
