Lofts: A Way of Living, a Way of Working

Book Description

The lofts in this book provide a good example of just how far the renovation and design of these far-from-typical dwellings has progressed. A compilation of the best lofts found in four trend-setting cities should not, however, be understood as a mere catalog. Quite the opposite, it represents a unique opportunity to get an insight into another way of living. Despite obvious differences, these lofts share common features such as space, natural light, and the importance of quality over quantity. With all their excesses and all their limitations, one can only conclude that there is something more-between intangible and magical-to these spaces that draws certain people to live and work in them.

A Great Book and an Under Rated Artist.......2003-10-28

Snapshooters not only captures the essence of street photography it is unparallel to any other photography book. All 35 plates are great shots. Tom Consilvio shows his great depth and creativity by taking the would-be photographer and placing them as his subjects. If you like photographs by Bresson, Winogrand, Frank or Evans you'll love this book.

Arrival of a new Gatekeeper..........2003-10-30

The teenagers of the Gatekeepers team have interesting powers. Ruriko has control over the Gate of Life, which gives her the ability to heal her comrades. Megumi creates a shield with the Gate of the Inpenetrable Barrier, also known as the Gate of Iron Will. Reiko uses the Gate of Enchantment to dazzle her enemies, making it easier for her friends to attack. Fei opens the Gate of ? (I don't remember what her Gate is called, but she summons spirit animals from it to fight for her--In the anime she opens the Gate of Fire, which is much better. Kaoru becomes incredibly strong when she opens the Gate of Strength. Shun, the male leader of the Gatekeepers directs gale force winds through the use of his Gate of Wind. And then the other guy Reiji wields the Gate of Darkness, often with murderous endings. Except for Reiji, Fei, and Shun, none of these Gates are really dangerous or impressive. In the manga, Fei summons a giant (and I mean GIANT) panda to fight in her place, and it is usually pretty effective. But sparkles from Reiko don't stop the enemy from attacking; it just makes it harder for them to do so since they can't see the target. Megumi's Gate of Iron Will protects herself and her friends, but it's hard to win playing defense. Ask any coach. Ruriko's Gate of Healing is useful, but not in battle, just afterwards.

But in this book, we are introduced to a Gatekeeper with real power. Yukino is a young girl Shun finds while on a skiing trip, and she controls the Gate of Ice and Snow. She can summon incredible blizzards and freeze her enemies solid in seconds. But she has some secrets and it is getting harder for the group to trust others...

Book Description

This book examines the impact on earnings and employment for inner city males resulting from the movement of manufacturing firms out of cities into suburban and rural settings, over the past several decades. The relocation of manufacturing employment has virtually eliminated the access of central city, low-skill workers to secure employment with benefits and room for advancement. However, demographic analysis reveals that low-skill workers have remained highly concentrated in inner cities even though low-skill jobs have moved outward in metropolitan areas. Economic theory has led many economists to believe that inner city workers are not interested in suburban employment because they do not move to the suburban
This book develops a new economic model that incorporates the unique difficulties faced by low income households which limits their ability to move to suburban locations. The model is used to make predictions about the impact on earnings and unemployment rates as job opportunities move to the suburbs. Multivariate regressions are used to test the theory in a cross- sectional analysis of the fifty largest metropolitan areas in the United States. The findings indicate that differences between the location of low income neighborhoods and the location of low-skill employment have significantly increased inner city unemployment rates over the past several decades

Nez Perce Summer, 1877... The U.S. Army and Ni.mípu Crisis.......2007-01-07

Jerome Greene has written the standard for those studying the War of 1877. I am currently using this book as the master reference for my writings. I am very pleased with the List of References, and the Summary Appendix Listing the known Army and Tribesmen casualties; what's missing is the Civilians and Noncoms casualties. Through out, Mr. Greene maintained a neutral viewpoint, something that is absolutely necessary for a serious and worthwhile reference work.

Mr. Greene is now to the Nez Perce War what Bruce Cotton was to the Civil War. It is the "master", to which all other work must be reviewed against. Incidentally, the famous author, Terry C. Johnston used a prerelease draft supplied by Jerome Greene as the basis for his novels on the first half of this conflict.

I am very pleased with this book and I wish all the historical events making up the history of the American West had such a through, scholarly work summarizing the events and identifying those involved. It is something other scholars should think about; it sure makes research easy for a novel writer like me.

Of course, no work can cover all the facts and neither does Mr. Greene's. Further research into the works of those actually involved would be the next level of detail, the serious students will go to.

Mr. Greene's approach to a very complicated series of events, making up this Indian outbreak, was to discuss one subject at a time, while ignoring the others until that subject was complete, then take-up another and do the same. The result became a saw tooth of events that jumps the reader back and forth through history, none seemly related to the others. That is why I rated the work as I did. That aside, it's nothing a good set of notes can't correct.

Nevertheless, this is an important work and a must copy for every library covering the history of the American West.

Thank you Mr. Greene.

A Masterpiece of History.......2001-03-02

One word adequately describes this book-Superb! I have read other accounts of the Nez Perce conflict but none with this degree of detail. For example, other authors have skimmed over some of the smaller engagements of the campaign (such as Canyon Creek) but Greene gives this as well as other episodes the full treatment they deserve. In his introduction, Greene clearly states that he mainly relied on primary source material, using secondary sources for background only. This decision clearly paid off.

Footnotes are used extensively to bring to the fore conflicting testimony as well as useful background information. All of this is augmented by excellent maps that illustrate the action. Greene avoids wasting the reader's time with moralizing sermons. He correctly portrays the military as simply trying to do the job thrust upon them by their civilian masters.

Truly, the best parts of this work are the final chapters detailing the culminating conflict at Bear Paw Mountain. At last, I feel like I am on the way towards understanding this battle. I walked away from this book with new respect and understanding for Greene, the Nez Perce and the much-maligned frontier army.

Greene has done his homework.......2001-02-26

Over the years I've read a lot on the subject of the Indian Wars. However, it seems that many recent publications are just a re-hash of materials, from secondary sources, presented as a new thesis or from a new perspective. Nez Perce Summer is a notable exception. Greene has used a wealth of primary sources, many never used before, in order to turn up new information and call old notions into question.

This is not a history of the Nez Perce, it is a military history of the campaign against them. While many these days prefer their Indian wars history from an Indian perspective, they should not be deterred from reading this work. This is a history of the military campaign, not a support of it. Indeed, one cannot come away from this without being amazed at how the Nez Perce continually stumped the most experienced Indian fighters of the time.

The narrative is well-written, and Greene holds our attention as well as any fiction writer could. I highly recommend !this book to anyone--scholar or casual reader--interested in the study of the Indian Wars.

Vividly drawn and engaging presented storytelling.......2001-01-11

In Nez Perce Summer 1877: The U.S. Army and the Nee-Me-Poo Crisis, research historian Jerome Green provides an informative, superbly researched, and wonderfully written account of the Nez Perce conflict with the larger white culture as represented by the U.S. Army. Green is one of those rare historians able to combine meticulous scholarship with a genuine flair for vividly drawn and engaging presented storytelling. Nez Perce Summer 1877 is ardently recommended reading for students of American frontier history in general, and Native American studies in particular.

Book Description

Dealing with the relevance of the concept and metaphor of appetite for understanding politics, writing, race, nation, and gender in the medieval and early modern periods, this collection of essays traces the development of concepts of monstrous consumption. Three areas of consumption are discussed: the role of appetite in the construction of the self and its "others," the use of metaphor of appetite to represent sexual and epistemological activities, and the sociopolitical dimension of appetite. Topics discussed include trade and colonialism, vampires, the sheela-na-gig figure, and witchcraft.
