Book excerpt: Texto e imágenes fundidos para desentrañar la evolución de la arquitectura neoyorquina, descubriendo la historia íntima de los edificios: los entresijos técnicos y teóricos de la construcción junto con la historia política, social y cultural de la metrópoli en la que se incardinan. Los edificios se revelan así como testimonios de los diversos períodos de la historia de Nueva York. Frampton hace convivir los hechos con su contexto y los ilustra con numerosas anécdotas relacionadas con el desarrollo de la capital del siglo xx.
Book Synopsis Delirio de Nueva York by : Rem Koolhaas
Download or read book Delirio de Nueva York written by Rem Koolhaas and published by Editorial GG. This book was released on 2015-01-13 with total page 467 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Manhattan es el escenario donde se representa el último acto de la civilización occidental. Con la explosión demográfica y la invasión de las nuevas tecnologías, Manhattan se ha convertido, desde mediados del siglo XIX, en el laboratorio de una nueva cultura, la de la congestión; una isla mítica donde se hace realidad el inconsciente colectivo de un nuevo modo de vida metropolitano, una fábrica de lo artificial donde lo natural y lo real han dejado de existir. Delirio de Nueva York es un 'manifiesto retroactivo', una interpretación de la teoría no formulada que subyace en el desarrollo de Manhattan; es el relato de las intrigas de un urbanismo que, desde sus inicios en Coney Island hasta los teóricos del rascacielos, ha hecho explotar su retícula de origen. Este libro, polémico y premonitorio (publicado originariamente en 1978), ilustra las relaciones entre un universo metropolitano mutante y la singular arquitectura que puede producir; y afirma también que, con frecuencia, la arquitectura genera la cultura.
Book Synopsis Cómo vive la otra mitad by : Jacob A. Riis
Download or read book Cómo vive la otra mitad written by Jacob A. Riis and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Edificios viejos y peligrosos, casas de vecindad traseras abarrotadas, construidas en patios sucios, sótanos oscuros y húmedos, buhardillas con goteras, talleres, cobertizos y establos convertidos en viviendas, aunque aptos apenas para alojar bestias; ahí es donde habitan miles de seres en esta rica ciudad cristiana'. Así describía, a mediados del siglo XIX, un informe de una sociedad filantrópica las condiciones de vida de buena parte de la población de Nueva York. Cuarenta años después, la situación apenas había cambiado, y Jacob A. Riis, un periodista que había conocido personalmente las vicisitudes de la emigración y la pobreza y que se había labrado un nombre escribiendo crónicas de sucesos policiales, decidió dar a conocer a la mitad de la 'rica ciudad cristiana' cómo vivía 'la otra mitad'.

Book Synopsis Maritime History at the Crossroads by : Frank Broeze
Download or read book Maritime History at the Crossroads written by Frank Broeze and published by Liverpool University Press. This book was released on 2017-10-18 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume seeks to critically review the contemporary state of maritime historiography, as it stands at the volume’s publication date of 1995. The volume is comprised of thirteen essays, each focused on the recent research into the maritime concerns of a particular geographical location, listed as follows: Australia; Canada; China; Denmark; Germany; Greece; Ibero-America; India; the Netherlands; the Ottoman Empire; Spain; the United States; and a final chapter concerning historians and maritime labour in Britain, Australia, and New Zealand. One concern made evident by the collection is the lack of stable identity and cohesive aims within maritime history, the subject holds many conflicting definitions and concepts. The purpose of this volume is to explore the recent developments in maritime history, plus the growth of scholarly interest, to provide a ‘beacon and stimulus for future work’ and to clearly direct and define maritime historiography toward a solid position in the field of history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How much do you actually know about New York City? Did you know they tried to anchor Zeppelins at the top of the Empire State Building?

This narrative history of New York City is the first to offer practical walking tour know-how. Fast-paced but thorough, its bite-size chapters each focus on an event, person, or place of historical significance.

The book also works as a historical walking-tour guide, with 14 self-guided tours, maps, and step-by-step directions. Easy to carry with you as you explore the city, Inside the Apple allows you to visit the site of every story it tells. This energetic, wide-ranging, and often humorous book covers New York's most important historical moments, but is always anchored in the city of today.
Book Synopsis Paying the Price of Freedom by : Christine Hünefeldt
Download or read book Paying the Price of Freedom written by Christine Hünefeldt and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2024-06-14 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christine Hünefeldt documents in impressive, moving detail the striving and ingenuity, the hard-won triumphs and bitter defeats of slaves who sought liberation in nineteenth-century urban Peru. Drawing on judicial, ecclesiastical, and notarial records—including the testimony of the slaves themselves—she uncovers the various strategies slaves invented to gain their freedom. Hünefeldt pays particular attention to marriage relations and family life. Slaves used their family solidarity as a strategy, while slaveowners used the conflicts within families to prevent manumission. The author's focus on gender relations between slaveowners and slaves, as well as between slaves, is particularly original. Her eye for ethnographic detail and her perceptive reading of the documentary evidence make this book a rich and important contribution to the study of slavery in Latin America. This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press’s mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in 1994.
