Описание: Early modern globalization was built on a highly labour intensive infrastructure. This book looks at the millions of workers who were needed to operate the ships, ports, store houses, forts and factories crucial to local and global exchange. These sailors, soldiers, craftsmen and slaves were crucial to globalization but were also confronted with the process of globalization themselves. They were often migrants who worked, directly or indirectly, for trading companies, merchants and producers that tried to discipline and control their labour force. The contributors to this volume offer an integrated, thematic study of the global history of desertion in European, Atlantic and Asian contexts. By tracing and comparing acts and patterns of desertion across empires, economic systems, regions and types of workers, Desertion in the Early Modern World illuminates the crucial role of practices of desertion among workers in shaping the history of imperial and economic expansion in the early modern period.

Описание: From the #1 "New York Times" bestselling author of "The Glass Castle, "Jeannette Walls gripping new novel that "transports us with her powerful storytelling...She contemplates the extraordinary bravery needed to confront real-life demons in a world where the hardest thing to do may be to not run away" ("O, The Oprah Magazine"). It is 1970 in a small town in California. Bean Holladay is twelve and her sister, Liz, is fifteen when their artistic mother, Charlotte, takes off to find herself, leaving her girls enough money to last a month or two. When Bean returns from school one day and sees a police car outside the house, she and Liz decide to take the bus to Virginia, where their widowed Uncle Tinsley lives in the decaying mansion that s been in Charlotte s family for generations. An impetuous optimist, Bean soon discovers who her father was, and hears stories about why their mother left Virginia in the first place. Money is tight, and the sisters start babysitting and doing office work for Jerry Maddox, foreman of the mill in town, who bullies his workers, his tenants, his children, and his wife. Liz is whip-smart an inventor of word games, reader of Edgar Allan Poe, nonconformist. But when school starts in the fall, it s Bean who easily adjusts, and Liz who becomes increasingly withdrawn. And then something happens to Liz in the car with Maddox. Jeannette Walls has written a deeply moving novel about triumph over adversity and about people who find a way to love each other and the world, despite its flaws and injustices."""

Описание: The first serious book-length study of crime writing in Canada, Detecting Canada contains thirteen essays on many of Canadas most popular crime writers, including Peter Robinson, Giles Blunt, Gail Bowen, Thomas King, Michael Slade, Margaret Atwood, and Anthony Bidulka. Genres examined range from the well-loved police procedural and the amateur sleuth to those less well known, such as anti-detection and contemporary noir novels. The book looks critically at the esteemed sixties television show Wojeck , as well as the more recent series Da Vincis Inquest , Da Vincis City Hall, and Intelligence , and the controversial Durham County , a critically acclaimed but violent television series that ran successfully in both Canada and the United States. The essays in Detecting Canada look at texts from a variety of perspectives, including postcolonial studies, gender and queer studies, feminist studies, Indigenous studies, and critical race and class studies. Crime fiction, enjoyed by so many around the world, speaks to all of us about justice, citizenship, and important social issues in an uncertain world.

Описание: To Slip the Surly Bonds--NASA, The Shuttle Disasters and the Demise of the U.S. Manned Space Flight Program" enters into the world of NASA and tells the story of not just why the shuttle disasters happened, but exposes NASA's inner workings. NASA has been gutted by various Presidential administrations. Congress has also had a field day with budget cuts, devastating the program with pork barrel projects and confusion regarding the United States and its place in the Space Program. NASA too, has been its own worst enemy due to its static, bureaucratic way of doing internal business. China, North Korea, Japan and other nations are forging their way to the stars while NASA sits on an empty launch pad waiting for the next crumb to be tossed its way. The U.S. commercial aerospace sector has had some success with reaching the space station with robotic cargo flights, but there is nothing for reaching past the lower earth orbit. "To Slip the Surly Bonds" explores the intricacies of how and why NASA was created, the Manned Space Program, how the shuttle disasters happened and why and why and the United States' place in the space frontier, along with the loss of our most precious resource, the space program and manned space flight.
