The Handmade Carpet - Ernst Swietly - Bog - Hali Publications Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The Handmade Carpet - Ernst Swietly - Bog - Hali Publications Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The handmade rug industry has gone through a revolution in the last twenty-five years, and no one is better placed to explain how and why than Fritz Langauer and Ernst Swietly, who have been buying, making, collecting and writing about rugs for over fifty years. Rugs are now being made in colours and designs unimagined just a few decades ago. This new book is the only title available that shows how carpet making has changed in all traditional rug making nations as well as demonstrating through images of rugs in interior settings how the style and use of rugs has changed. Carpets carry many unspoken narratives about peoples and places - this new book reveals some of these for the first time thanks to the first-hand experience of the authors in the souks and bazars of the Middle East.

Carpet Monsters and Killer Spores - Nicholas P. Money - Bog - Oxford University Press Inc - Plusbog.dk

Carpet Monsters and Killer Spores - Nicholas P. Money - Bog - Oxford University Press Inc - Plusbog.dk

Molds are everywhere: we inhale their microscopic spores from birth to death. But when an investigation in Ohio revealed that babies suffering from a serious lung illness had been exposed to a toxic black mold in their homes, millions of Americans became nervous about patches of mold in their own basements and bathrooms. Before long, lawsuits were filed by the residents of mold-contaminated homes in every state. By failing to address water damage, building contractors, plumbers, and insurance agents were held liable for exposing families to an unprecedented microbiological hazard. The mold crisis soon developed into a fully-fledged media circus. In Carpet Monsters and Killer Spores, Nicholas Money explores the science behind the headlines and courtroom dramas, and profiles the toxin-producing mold that is a common inhabitant of water-damaged buildings. Nicholas Money tells the most important mycological story since potato blight, with his inimitable style of scientific clarity and dark humor.

Jewish Emigration from the Yemen 1951-98 - Reuben Ahroni - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Jewish Emigration from the Yemen 1951-98 - Reuben Ahroni - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The Yemeni Jewish remnants have triggered so much interest on the part of so many western governments and humanitarian organizations, to an extent that is quite rare. The story of the Yemeni Jewish remnants is distinct from that of their brethren who emigrated to Israel during Operation Magic Carpet (1949-51). Before and during Operation Magic Carpet, Yemeni Jews came on their own in overwhelming numbers, many of them on foot, undeterred by the prospects of the trials and tribulations which they knew would await them in the course of their travels. In contrast, the Yemeni Jewish remnants displayed a strong hesitation, if not reluctance, to leave Yemen. Thus, since Operation Magic Carpet and until 1962 - the year of the coup d''état eliminating the autocratic Imamic regime in Yemen and the closing of the Yemeni gates for Jewish emigration - only some four hundred Yemeni Jews heeded the call to emigrate to Israel. It is for this reason that the book is subtitled Carpet Without Magic. A ''red carpet'' was indeed spread before the Yemeni Jewish remnants, but the ''magic'' was no longer there.

The Heart of Helambu - Tom O'neill - Bog - University of Toronto Press - Plusbog.dk

The Heart of Helambu - Tom O'neill - Bog - University of Toronto Press - Plusbog.dk

Over the course of the last twenty-five years, Tom O’Neill has traveled frequently to Kathmandu and the Helambu region of Nepal to undertake ethnographic fieldwork with the Yolmo business owners and carpet weavers of the area. The Heart of Helambu is an evocative and touching account of his experiences working in Nepal during those turbulent times. In his autoethnographic memoir, O’Neill reflects on the complex relationships he developed with his research participants: the carpet weavers, their families, and others in the communities which he studied. A compelling account of ethnographic fieldwork’s personal dimension and the ethical and emotional challenges that come with maintaining relationships across substantial social distances, The Heart of Helambu illustrates an important aspect of anthropological research through O’Neill’s engaging story.

Persian Carpets - Minoo Moallem - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Persian Carpets - Minoo Moallem - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Persian Carpets: the Nation As a Transnational Commodity tracks the Persian carpet as an exotic and mythological object, as a commodity, and as an image from mid-nineteenth-century England to contemporary Iran and the Iranian diaspora. Following the journey of this single object, the book brings issues of labor into conversation with the politics of aesthetics. It focuses on the carpet as a commodity which crosses the boundaries of private and public, religious and secular, culture and economy, modern and traditional, home and diaspora, and art and commodity to tell the story of transnational interconnectivity. Bringing transnational feminist cultural studies, ethnography, and network studies within the same frame of reference, this book sheds light on Orientalia as civilizational objects that emerged as commodities in the encounter between the West and the many directly or indirectly colonized Middle Eastern and West Asian cultures, focusing on the specific example of Persian carpets as some of the most extensively valued and traded objects since colonial modernity.

Reelpolitik II - Beverly Merrill Kelley - Bog - Rowman & Littlefield - Plusbog.dk

Reelpolitik II - Beverly Merrill Kelley - Bog - Rowman & Littlefield - Plusbog.dk

Reelpolitik II moves past typical left-right political distinctions to examine political ideologies cycling through U.S. history during the ''50s and ''60s. These eight Cold War movies especially equipped the moviegoer with a unique vantage point to scrutinize the arms race, the Red Scare, the Korean Conflict, and the Vietnam War. They also helped audiences to observe the way film functions as a purveyor of American mythology, a megaphone to shout political messages, a metaphorical route to the emotions, a flattering mirror, an unflattering microscope, and a magic carpet ride back to the future.

Stargazing - Scott R. Harris - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The sociology of fame and celebrity is at the cutting edge of current scholarship in a number of different areas of study. Stargazing highlights the interactional dynamics of celebrity and fame in contemporary society, including the thoughts and feelings of stars on the red carpet, the thrills and risks of encountering a famous person at a convention or on the streets, and the excitement generated even by the obvious fakery of celebrity impersonators. Using compelling, real-life examples involving popular celebrities, Ferris and Harris examine how the experience and meanings of celebrity are shaped by social norms, interactional negotiations, and interpretive storytelling.

Now will not be with us forever - Maurice Es - Bog - RVB Books - Plusbog.dk

Now will not be with us forever - Maurice Es - Bog - RVB Books - Plusbog.dk

Maurice van Es is a plastic artist exploring the photographic medium. In the eight books gathered under the title, Now will not be with us forever, he deals with photography’s intrinsic dimension: seizing a moment that will never return. He focuses on his close environment, family and familiar, transcending it subtly: his young brother departing to school every morning, his grandfather putting on a pullover, the details of an interior (carpet, blanket), motifs on a garment or again his father’s car as he waits for him at the station, take on a troubling poetic and plastic dimension.

Limit Experiences - Jacek Leociak - Bog - Peter Lang AG - Plusbog.dk

Limit Experiences - Jacek Leociak - Bog - Peter Lang AG - Plusbog.dk

In his work Limit Experiences, Jacek Leociak addresses questions that are fundamental to the twentieth-century experience: How can we represent such traumatic events as the Holocaust? Was Lyotard correct when he claimed that reality had succumbed to the gas chambers? How can we describe the «indescribable»? Moving seamlessly through such topics as the destruction of the Warsaw Ghetto, the carpet bombing of Dresden, and Jews left for dead in the Nazi execution pits who miraculously «exited the grave» alive, Professor Leociak succeeds in offering readers a profound representation of twentieth-century limit experiences by embedding them in a broad array of sources and building around them a rich historical context.

The Big Bet - Yiannos Charalambides - Bog - Peter Lang AG - Plusbog.dk

The Big Bet - Yiannos Charalambides - Bog - Peter Lang AG - Plusbog.dk

The main aim of this work is to examine whether Turkish accession to the EU will threaten EU cohesion or not. The evaluation of this process resulted in the formation of a set of factors-variables upon which a model of EU cohesion was established. Through the use of these factors-variables and having theories of International Relations as the theoretical carpet (Realism, Structural Realism, Functionalism, Neo-Functionalism), nine scenarios on Turkish accession to the EU in relation to EU cohesion were elaborated, ranging from ‘best case’ to ‘worst case scenario’ and also including the option of a ‘privileged partnership’. This work addresses the following controversial question: in case that Turkey joins the EU, will we have a ‘ European Turkey ’ or a ‘ Turkish Europe ’?

Reporting the Second World War - Prof. Tim Luckhurst - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Reporting the Second World War - Prof. Tim Luckhurst - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

The decisive role of Britain’s wartime newspaper journalism in shaping public opinion and government policy has been majorly overlooked. Much of the existing historiography has framed Britain’s newspapers as mouthpieces of state propaganda, readily conforming to the wishes of the wartime coalition. Tim Luckhurst challenges this through an analysis of illuminating and largely forgotten controversies which underscore the function the press held as guardians of democracy and propagators of dissenting opinion in British politics and society - from the overseas evacuation of children to the Allies’ carpet bombing of German cities. Reporting the Second World War is a timely and important intervention that duly recognises the place of national, regional and specialist titles in speaking truth to power in a democracy at war.
