Описание:
Every June the city of Lowell, Massachusetts, celebrates Franco-American Day, raising the Franco-American flag and hosting events designed to commemorate French culture in the Americas. Though there are twenty million French speakers and people of French or francophone descent in North America, making them the fifth-largest ethnic group in the United States, their cultural legacy has remained nearly invisible. Events like Franco-American Day, however, attest to French ethnic permanence on the American topography.
In Franco-America in the Making, Jonathan K. Gosnell examines the manifestation and persistence of hybrid Franco-American literary, musical, culinary, and media cultures in North America, especially New England and southern Louisiana. To shed light on the French cultural legacy in North America long after the formal end of the French empire in the mid-eighteenth century, Gosnell seeks out hidden French or “Franco” identities and sites of memory in the United States and Canada that quietly proclaim an intercontinental French presence, examining institutions of higher learning, literature, folklore, newspapers, women’s organizations, and churches. This study situates Franco-American cultures within the new and evolving field of postcolonial Francophone studies by exploring the story of the peoples and ideas contributing to the evolution and articulation of a Franco-American cultural identity in the New World. Gosnell asks what it means to be French, not simply in America but of America.
Описание: Here is as exciting a tale of sea adventure as any piece of fiction. Yet it is even more interesting as the first-hand account of one of the most fascinating--if least known--episodes of the Civil War, Raphael Semmes's cruise in the C.S.S. Sumter. Gosnell's introduction and conclusion furnish welcome information about the life of the man who was reviled as a pirate in the North and worshipped as a her in the South.<BR><BR>A UNC Press Enduring Edition -- UNC Press Enduring Editions use the latest in digital technology to make available again books from our distinguished backlist that were previously out of print.

Описание: Written in 1591 and published posthumously, Bruno's Lamps of the Thirty Statues presents an advanced example of the memory palace technique, He presents a periodic table or encyclopedia of classical philosophy, representing thirty abstract ideas through images taken from Ovid's Metamorphoses. These images are then given attributes which can be combined and manipulated to address fundamental arguments and isues of philosophical interest. At the same time, he develops a theogony and a categorization scheme for substances and concepts through the framework of the scale of nature and the scale of predicates or ideas.

Ahh, 21. That magical age when the red carpet rolls out and you arrive on the bar scene, full of anticipation to enter this previously forbidden world of boozy adventures...
There's no doubt that it's an exciting time in everyone's life, but what you may not know is that there is a specific set of often unspoken rules--rules that can determine whether your bartender serves you like you're just another face in the cattle-like crowd, or instead like you're a V.I.P., paving the way for amazing, unforgettable nights out with your friends.
Even if you're not a big drinker, chances are you'll spend at least some of your adult life in a bar. It's unavoidable--bars are the meetup spot of choice for birthdays, nights with friends, sporting events, holiday parties, corporate happy hours, and just about any other event you can imagine. Over my twenty-year career as a bartender serving people on these occasions, I've grown sick of watching them absolutely blow it. It's not their fault; they just don't have an easy way to learn. And that's where the idea for this book came from.
So, whether you're freshly 21 or know someone who will be, this is the PERFECT guide for learning everything there is to know about how to navigate bar life as a pro You're just 147 pages away from transforming your bar experience...
From the back cover:
The most common misconception amongst rookie drinkers is that your basic presence in a bar makes you appear to be cooler and more mature. This couldn't be further from the truth. The reality is that it all comes down to how you handle yourself in the bar. Knowing how to correctly run a tab, the proper way to get a bartender's attention, the best drink to order based on which bar you're at, and what steps to take to make sure your transaction is processed as fast as possible is just the beginning of what separates an amateur from an ace.
Instead of continuing my existence as an old, jaded bartender that just rolls his eyes and begrudgingly serves you, I thought I'd take the time to put together a crash course in proper drinking and bar etiquette. In my twenty years of bar experience, I can tell you that those who get it always have better nights out than those who don't. So whether your purpose in going out is to have fun with friends, get laid, catch a major sporting event, or just to get your buzz on, it doesn't matter; after you've finished reading this book, your nights out will improve immensely.
So what are you waiting for? Your potential evolution from bar novice to bar master is just a book away...
