Описание: 1924 - Prohibition has been the law since 1920 but that did not stop people from wanting alcoholic beverages nor did it stop the organizations that supplied them. Lack of good alcoholic beverages causes many speakeasies and gangs to manufacture low quality substitutes made from dangerous ingredients. Violence is on the rise as the gangs protect their turf and their products. Dan and Laure grew up in small villages in the far north and south areas of Chicago. They meet in unusual circumstances and Dan loves her at first sight. Laure has the same feelings for him but a past relationship causes her to be cautious and Dan is forced to undertake an impossible mission. Thus begins the adventure of The Roaring Road. Take a prototype Duesenberg and a Road Trip Dog - add mayhem, a mob chief, a group of highwaymen and a gang of bank robbers, a pair of kidnappers and assorted other villains, throw in visits to speakeasies plus the lure of Hollywood in the form of a prank devised by the infamous actress Louise Brooks that turns out to be wildly successful, and Laure is offered a role in the 1926 movie 'The Great Gatsby'. Automobiles, trains, aeroplanes, flapper glamour, adventure, mayhem and lust on the roads and rails and in the speakeasies and blind pigs of Prohibition. What could possibly go wrong

Описание: Established in 1953 as the nation's public relations agency, the United States Information Agency was sanctioned for nation branding, creating and modulating America's reputation, and spreading the good news about America to overseas audiences. Always operating under an expanding mosaic of terminologies and in the center of semantic debates, USIA benefitted from public diplomacy's tremendous growth during President Reagan's historic mission of fighting communism. While many agencies experienced budgetary cuts, the USIA budget increased more than 80 percent, and some of those funds were used to finance Worldnet. Created by USIA Director Charles Z. Wick and staff, Worldnet was the Agency's attempt to use satellite television as an instrument of public diplomacy. Filled with compelling stories from insiders, this book lifts the veil on and provides a historically grounded introduction to Worldnet, the "jewel of the crown" of the Reagan administration's enchantment with aggressive political propaganda techniques.

Описание: A friend of mine asked me, "What kind of idiot would drive a thousand miles to drive a thousand miles, to drive a thousand miles home?" The answer, apparently, is one like me. Exactly like me, in fact.That is the spirit that launched most of the adventures in this book. Road Trip captures the author's quest for new places to see in old cars that are not quite suited for the task. In most cases, the spirit was way in front of the planning.It also accurately depicts the typical thorough thought process that precedes a departure. There is nothing so liberating yet useless as a Road Trip. A Road Trip is one with no purpose other than the going. If one is moving to a new job or going off to college or to a new home, it is not a Road Trip; it has a purpose. In order to be a real Road Trip, the trip itself must be the purpose...and, just to be clear, driving an old car home after buying it, rather than shipping it, cannot be construed as a purpose- rather it is a clear choice. It is a choice to make a Road Trip.Welcome to some of Ross' favorite Road Trips

Описание: Iran has one of the highest rates of road traffic accidents worldwide and according to a recent UNICEF report, the current rate of road accidents in Iran is 20 times more than the world average. Using extensive interviews with a variety of Iranians from a range of backgrounds, this book explores their dangerous driving habits and the explanations for their disregard for traffic laws. It argues that Iranians' driving behaviour is an indicator of how they have historically related to each other and to their society at large, and how they have maintained a form of social order through law, culture and religion. By considering how ordinary Iranians experience the traffic problem in their cities and how they describe traffic rules, laws, authorities and the rights of other citizens, Driving Culture in Iran provides an original and valuable insight into Iranian legal, social and political culture.
