Описание: A stunning, deeply reported investigation into the housing crisis Cities are the engines of economic progress and the places that give birth to ideas that shape our lives. For generations, arriving in a major city was the first step toward the American Dream. But as housing costs skyrocket in job-rich cities across the nation, that door to opportunity is swinging shut. No place has felt this more acutely than the San Francisco Bay Area, where the mansions of tech billionaires stand streets away from encampments of cardboard. With riveting block-by-block reporting, New York Times reporter Conor Dougherty parses the history and economic forces that underlie the crisis from its epicenter. As rising rents and home prices have spread across the country, massive movements against single-family zoning and for tenants' rights have followed. The potent forces of racism have long shaped the narrative of home ownership in this country. Today, as we grapple with that legacy, the crisis is deepened by globalization and made all the more pressing in the face of climate change. Despite its liberal reputation, the San Francisco Bay Area has for decades enacted and reinforced exclusionist housing policies that raise the cost of living and exacerbate inequality. When Jeremy Stoppelman, CEO of Yelp, wanted to disrupt the rising housing costs in the Bay Area, he bypassed the traditional halls of power and instead met with the leader of SF BARF, the SF Bay Area Renters' Federation, Sonja Trauss. Indignant over the cost of living in our nation's great cities, Trauss represents a new generation of activists frustrated by a growing shortage of housing and demanding that neighborhoods make room for them. Dougherty follows Trauss--along with families trapped in the churn of barely making rent, a nun building a real estate empire to outmaneuver gauging landlords, and a city planner who suddenly envisions a different future--to tell the new story of housing. Sweeping in scope and intimate in detail, Golden Gates definitively captures a fundamental political realignment in America as it plays out during a moment of rapid technological and social change.

Описание: American scientist and author Rachel Carson is said to have sparked the modern day environmental movement with the publication of Silent Spring in 1962. She made vivid the prospect of life without birdsong. But has her warning been heeded?Fifty years on, Conor Mark Jameson reflects on the growth of environmentalism since Silent Spring was published.
His revealing and engaging tale plots milestone events in conservation, popular culture and political history in the British Isles and beyond, tracing a path through the half century since 'zero hour', 1962. Around this he weaves his own observations and touching personal experiences, seeking to answer the question: what happened to the birds, and birdsong, and why does it matter?

Описание: In The Spectacular Modern Woman, Liz Conor illustrates how technological advances in image reproduction transformed Western industrial societies into visual or "ocularcentric" cultures with significant and complex consequences for women's lives. With the rise of mass media, photography, and movies, a woman's visibility became a mark of her modernity, and the result was at once liberating and confining, given the many narrow conceptions of what it meant to be a modern woman. Focusing on the city girl in the metropolitan scene, the "Screen Struck Girl" in the cinematic scene, the mannequin in the commodity scene, the beauty contestant in the photographic scene, the "primitive" woman in the late colonial scene, and the flapper in the heterosexual leisure scene, Conor shows how women's roles were intimately tied to the visual culture of the day.

Описание: A parody of all things Biggles and the Middle East Conflict. Set during the 2003 Iraq War, Biggles continues his legend as the world's greatest pilot, ace and inebriated philanderer. Where on the whiff of a gin and tonic he careens his way from disaster to victory and back to disaster. Biggles declares war on the sheep in all of Arabia, Biggles has a photo-shoot Saddam Hussein, Biggles discovers how to defuse a thermonuclear bomb using a cup of tea, Biggles defeats the Afrika Corps seventy years too late, and Biggles takes Aqaba then loses it in a game of whist. "Men," said the wing commander."And women," came a gruff woman's voice."I thought you were one of the Kuwaitis?" asked the wing commander."I am.""Hmmm, anyway," continued the wing commander unperturbed, "Men, women and other members of the squadron of unknown sex. You must remember we are at war.""It's hard to forget," said Ginger, "they keep shooting at us.""Now none of that." The wing commander wagged his stick at Ginger. "Foreigners have been shooting at the R.A.F. ever since its inception. So, the present circumstances are no different, except of course, we have the Americans on our side.""Half the time," Ginger insisted, "it is the Americans who are doing the shooting.""Yes, that is what we call friendly fire." The wing commander smiled paternally, "So shooting at us - is how the jolly Americans show they are being friendly. It's like fox hunting, we don't really want to kill the fox and half the time the little blighters get away. So, next time an F-16 starts blazing away at you, just hide behind a hedge and wait for the hunt to lose your trail.""They killed Nigel.""Nigel was a vegetarian. Shouldn't have been flying in the first place." The wing commander blew through his moustache in annoyance. "Now this war...""I thought this was a police action," asked Algy, "like those times in Korea when we rescued Korea from itself, and in Vietnam when we didn't rescue anyone, we just got shot at.""Those too were police actions, but this time, we have a plan."This book has no basis in history or reality, except the bits where Biggles saves the world.

Описание: The Dubliner has achieved more in three years with the UFC than anyone in the 20 year history of the organization. From an unknown prospect to the first man to hold two world titles simultaneously, McGregor's knockout-filled march through the featherweight and lightweight rankings sent shockwaves through the world. But as effortless as McGregor's heroics seem, his journey was far from smooth. Just another teenager trading martial arts techniques with his friends, he chased a pipe dream with little promise of reward. No one guessed he would become the biggest pay-per-view attraction in the world. This is not another tale of an athlete born exceptional and groomed for success. It is about how one young man, through bloody-minded determination and indomitable spirit, changed the whole game.
