Document Overview:

Fate: It is an idea as old as life itself. Do our choices shape the future, or is it the other way around? And if the path we walk is predestined -- if the way we are to meet our end is knowable -- what might that knowledge compel us to do?Titan 's travels take it to a world at the edge of reason. Orisha is a planet whose people have lived for centuries beneath an unfathomable celestial body in their sky. From the moment it first appeared, the object was thought to be something unnatural, an ill omen that has made them feel watched, exposed, vulnerable -- provoking a primal fear that has steered the course of their civilization. The Orishans call it "the Eye," and because it has consistently defied every scientific attempt to decode its true nature, many are convinced it represents an intelligence that is studying their world...and perhaps waiting to destroy it.But the secret behind the Eye threatens Titan as well as Orisha...and it holds a special meaning for one member of Captain Riker's crew in particular, whose lifelong quest to balance faith and scientific truth is tested against the harsh, unblinking glare of inevitability.
Genèse de l'Art Ottoman

From:Museum Ohne Grenzen (Museum With No Frontiers 0

Document Overview:

L’apogée du règne de Soliman a longtemps occulté les bouleversements fondateurs introduits en Anatolie par les précurseurs de l’empire. Parmi ces premiers émirats turcs qui profitent de l’affaiblissement de l’empire byzantin pour s’établir dans la Péninsule, la dynastie ottomane allait bien sûr connaître la plus célèbre destinée. Mais la suprématie architecturale et artistique, intellectuelle, sociale et économique qui, avec l’extension territoriale, conduira l’empire à son zénith résulte aussi d’initiatives radicales entreprises par les émirats pour atteindre les plus hauts niveaux de sophistication dans l’art et l’architecture. Sur le legs d’une Anatolie seldjoukide elle-même héritière des influences perses, syriennes et iraqiennes – et dépositaire des grands courants des bâtisseurs chrétiens au Proche-Orient –, les émirats vont délibérément imprimer leur sceau par de constantes recherches d’innovations artistiques, culturelles et sociales dans toutes les régions qui n’avaient pas encore été en contact avec la culture turco-islamique. En l’espace de deux siècles (xive-xve), cette entreprise méthodique générera une vraie cohésion et favorisera l’apogée de l’empire au xvie siècle. Cet Itinéraire-Exposition Musée Sans Frontières s’attache donc à mettre en lumière les innombrables prouesses techniques qui, expérimentées sur le sol anatolien, amèneront par exemple la vaste typologie des mosquées à culminer dans la monumentale mosquée unifiée à coupole centrale, laquelle fera bientôt la gloire de l’architecture ottomane. L’effervescente inventivité observée dans les centres culturels et politiques de Milas, Selçuk, Birgi, Manisa, Bursa, Iznik, Çanakkale et Edirne se révèle dans les madrasas, les tombes monumentales et les édifices civils comme les hammams ou les caravansérails, où un dense melting pot d’influences croisées produit, somme toute, un style cohérent et totalement authentique, et jette les bases de l’Empire ottoman à venir.

Buffalo Bill in Bologna

$16.20

From:University of Chicago Press 0

Document Overview:

When it comes to the production and distribution of mass culture, no country in modern times has come close to rivaling the success of America. From blue jeans in central Europe to Elvis Presley's face on a Republic of Chad postage stamp, the reach of American mass culture extends into every corner of the globe. Most believe this is a twentieth-century phenomenon, but here Robert W. Rydell and Rob Kroes prove that its roots are far deeper. Buffalo Bill in Bologna reveals that the process of globalizing American mass culture began as early as the mid-nineteenth century. In fact, by the end of World War I, the United States already boasted an advanced network of culture industries that served to promote American values. Rydell and Kroes narrate how the circuses, amusement parks, vaudeville, mail-order catalogs, dime novels, and movies developed after the Civil War—tools central to hastening the reconstruction of the country—actually doubled as agents of American cultural diplomacy abroad. As symbols of America's version of the "good life," cultural products became a primary means for people around the world, especially in Europe, to reimagine both America and themselves in the context of America's growing global sphere of influence. Paying special attention to the role of the world's fairs, the exporting of Buffalo Bill's Wild West show to Europe, the release of The Birth of a Nation, and Woodrow Wilson's creation of the Committee on Public Information, Rydell and Kroes offer an absorbing tour through America's cultural expansion at the turn of the century. Buffalo Bill in Bologna is thus a tour de force that recasts what has been popularly understood about this period of American and global history.

Document Overview:

Jodi Picoult has touched readers deeply with her acclaimed novels, such as Keeping Faith and The Pact. Gifted with "a remarkable ability to make us share her characters' feelings" (People), Picoult now explores the complex choices of the heart for a young Amish woman -- the compelling journey of discovery for an urban lawyer who befriends and protects her.The small town of Paradise, Pennsylvania, is a jewel in Lancaster County -- known for its picture-postcard landscapes and bucolic lifestyle. But that peace is shattered by the discovery of a dead infant in the barn of an Amish farmer. A police investigation quickly leads to two startling disclosures: the newborn's mother is an unmarried Amish woman, eighteen-year-old Katie Fisher. And the infant did not die of natural causes. Although Katie denies the medical proof that she gave birth to the child, circumstantial evidence leads to her arrest for the murder of her baby.One hundred miles away, Philadelphia defense attorney Ellie Hathaway has achieved an enviable, high-profile career. But her latest court "victory" has set the sands shifting beneath her. Single at thirty-nine and unsatisfied with her relationship, Ellie doesn't look back when she turns down her chance to make partner and takes off for an open-ended stay at her great-aunt's home in Paradise.Fate brings her to Katie Fisher. Suddenly, Ellie sees the chance to defend a client who truly needs her, not just one who can afford her. But taking on this case challenges Ellie in more ways than one. She finds herself not only in a clash of wills with a client who does not want to be defended but also in a clash of cultures with a people whose channels of justice are markedly different from her own.Immersing herself in Katie Fisher's life -- and in a world founded on faith, humility, duty, and honesty -- Ellie begins to understand the pressures and sacrifices of those who to live "plain." As she peels away the layers of fact and fantasy, Ellie calls on an old frie
Family Business Special Issue

From:Emerald Group Publishing Limited 0

Document Overview:

Family-based enterprises continue to make in an increasingly dynamic global environment. Whilst still a comparatively young field of enquiry, 'family business' is gaining attention as an area of fertile academic research of both economic and social importance. The collection of papers presented within this e-book provides us with further insights into the domain of family-based enterprises. Family businesses remain an essential part of societies – their study, development, support and on-going existence will be one of the keys to economic prosperity, community integration and personal wealth. How family businesses are encouraged remains open to debate; that they should be encouraged does not. Having an increasing academic basis for that process is key, and underpins the rationale for this e-book: the on-going study of family businesses for their development of long-term success at a variety of economic, community and personal levels.
