    A Hero for the Americas by Robert Calder
    epub | 1003.84 KB | English | Isbn:‎ B07HKP5TZC | Author: Calder, Robert | Year: 2017


    Description:

    A group of shipwrecked Spaniards washed onto the coast of the Yucat?n Peninsula in 1512, leading to first contact between the Spanish and the Maya. Two men survived the ordeal: Jer?nimo de Aguilar, who became a translator for Hern?n Cort?s in his conquest of the Aztecs, and Gonzalo Guerrero, who, as legend has it, embraced the Mayan way of life and skillfully led the opposition to the Spanish take-over of the Yucat?n. Reviled in 16th-century Spain as an apostate and a traitor, Guerrero is today remembered all over the Yucat?n with statues and images, and as the symbolic father of millions of Mexican mestizos. But like Robin Hood and King Arthur, Guerrero's story has become embellished by legend and myth. The product of fifteen years of research by a Governor General's Award winner, A Hero for the Americas is the first comprehensive investigation of this controversial figure.

    American Baroque by Molly A Warsh
    epub | 12.83 MB | English | Isbn:‎ 1469638975 | Author: Warsh, Molly A.; | Year: 2018


    Description:

    Pearls have enthralled global consumers since antiquity, and the Spanish monarchs Ferdinand and Isabella explicitly charged Columbus with finding pearls, as well as gold and silver, when he sailed westward in 1492. American Baroque charts Spain's exploitation of Caribbean pearl fisheries to trace the genesis of its maritime empire. In the 1500s, licit and illicit trade in the jewel gave rise to global networks, connecting the Caribbean to the Indian Ocean to the pearl-producing regions of the Chesapeake and northern Europe.

    Pearls-a unique source of wealth because of their renewable, fungible, and portable nature-defied easy categorization. Their value was highly subjective and determined more by the individuals, free and enslaved, who produced, carried, traded, wore, and painted them than by imperial decrees and tax-related assessments. The irregular baroque pearl, often transformed by the imagination of a skilled artisan into a fantastical jewel, embodied this subjective appeal. Warsh blends environmental, social, and cultural history to construct microhistories of peoples' wide-ranging engagement with this deceptively simple jewel. Pearls facilitated imperial fantasy and personal ambition, adorned the wardrobes of monarchs and financed their wars, and played a crucial part in the survival strategies of diverse people of humble means. These stories, taken together, uncover early modern conceptions of wealth, from the hardscrabble shores of Caribbean islands to the lavish rooms of Mediterranean palaces.

    Camera Man by Dana Stevens
    epub | 9.73 MB | English | Isbn:‎ B075RQCB8B | Author: Dana Stevens | Year: 2022


    Description:

    In this genre-defying work of cultural history, the chief film critic of Slate places comedy legend and acclaimed filmmaker Buster Keaton's unique creative genius in the context of his time.
    Born the same year as the film industry in 1895, Buster Keaton began his career as the child star of a family slapstick act reputed to be the most violent in vaudeville. Beginning in his early twenties, he enjoyed a decade-long stretch as the director, star, stuntman, editor, and all-around mastermind of some of the greatest silent comedies ever made, including Sherlock Jr., The General, and The Cameraman.

    Even through his dark middle years as a severely depressed alcoholic finding work on the margins of show business, Keaton's life had a way of reflecting the changes going on in the world around him. He found success in three different mediums at their creative peak: first vaudeville, then silent film, and finally the experimental early years of...

    Creative Thinkering by Michael Michalko
    epub | 3.02 MB | English | Isbn:9781608680252 | Author: Michalko, Michael | Year: 2011


    Description:

    Why isn't everyone creative? Why doesn't education foster more ingenuity? Why is expertise often the enemy of innovation? Bestselling creativity expert Michael Michalko shows that in every ?eld of endeavor - from business and science to government, the arts, and even day-to-day life - natural creativity is limited by the prejudices of logic and the structures of accepted categories and concepts. Through step-by-step exercises, illustrated strategies, and inspiring real-world examples, he shows readers how to liberate their thinking and literally expand their imaginations by learning to synthesize dissimilar subjects, think paradoxically, and enlist the help of the subconscious mind. He also reveals the attitudes and approaches that diverse geniuses share - and anyone can emulate. Fascinating and fun, Michalko's strategies facilitate the kind of lightbulb-moment thinking that changes lives - for the better.

    Folded Wisdom by Joanna Guest
    epub | 99.43 MB | English | Isbn:‎ B07HF2KYBF | Author: Joanna Guest | Year: 2019


    Description:

    Poignant, inspirational, and deeply moving, Folded Wisdom is a testament to the depth of a father's love for his children. In this lavishly illustrated gift book, Joanna Guest shares the beautiful and insightful notes her father gave to her and her brother every day for nearly 15 years.
    For her entire childhood, Joanna's father, an artist by training, had a morning ritual: wake up early, walk the dog, and sit down at the kitchen table with two blank sheets of paper and plenty of colored markers. On those pages, every morning, he would craft a note to young Joanna and her brother Theo. Over the years, these beautifully illustrated and heartwarming notes morphed from word games and puzzles for five-year-olds to thoughtful guidance, advice, and reflections for teens approaching adulthood. Each morning, without fail, her father would have a note waiting for his two children.
    Now, with more than 3,500 of her father's colorful, vibrant, touching notes in...

    "Lovely! I liked this book quite a bit - the photos are lovely and the author writes in a casual, occasionally humorous style that I enjoyed. I laughed out loud at the calculator en croute and the "eggs of irreproachable freshness and lineage." Lucy Ditty, Amazon Reviewer

    Houston Chef's Table by Arthur Meyer
    epub | 14.2 MB | English | Isbn:9780762790937 | Author: Arthur Meyer | Year: 2012


    Description:

    Houston is the dining out capital of Texas, with a food scene that reflects the city itself-talented, entrepreneurial, diverse, and quite modern. Barbeque and Tex-Mex are certainly present, but do not define the dining experience. Modern American cuisine brought into focus by Mark Cox of Mark's American Cuisine and fine-dining Italian style served by award-winning Tony's both set the stage for a dining experience independent of Texas' reputation for big steaks and enchiladas. And numerous establishments court the palate for Thai, Indian, Caribbean, Brazilian, and Turkish foods. Houston Chef's Table is the first cookbook to gather Houston's best chefs and restaurants under one cover. Including a signature "at home" recipe from seventy iconic dining establishments, the book is a celebration of the city's diverse cultural influences. Full-color photos throughout highlight fabulous dishes, famous chefs, and Houston landmarks.
