Описание: A powerful investigation into a grisly killing that leads to an unravelling of the benign image of Rwanda, a country showered with Western aid while its leaders began a bloody killing spree of their political opponents. In the late 1980s four driven young men helped establish a revolutionary movement which wrested Rwanda from the clutches of a genocidal regime. Their rebel group liberated the country and brought development to a previously impoverished land, widely lauded today as the Switzerland of Africa. Or at least, that's what is supposed to have happened.In fact, as Michela Wrong reveals in intimate detail, the Rwanda story went off the rails almost immediately. The rebel movement's charismatic leader was killed, possibly by his own deputies, his murder concealed. The guerrilla group - which may well have triggered the genocide it claims to have brought to an end -- was taken over by the most ruthless and cold-blooded of the four, who made revenge a signature of his rule. Brushing aside friendships going back to school days, he has ruthlessly pursued his former comrades-in-arms, even into exile. The price of dissent is death. Do Not Disturb is an unflinching portrait of a regime dependent on violence, intimidation and surveillance. It will change the way you understand the story of Africa's Great Lakes region, and the rest of the world's often misguided support for President Paul Kagame.

Описание: One small East African country embodies the battered history of the continent: patronised by colonialists, riven by civil war, confused by Cold War manoeuvring, proud, colorful, with Africa`s best espresso and worst rail service. Michela Wrong brilliantly reveals the contradictions and comedy, past and present, of Eritrea.
Описание: Examines the lives of those who lived in East and West Prussia under the Third Reich era, their role in Germany`s aspirations for world domination, those who survived the Soviet massacres that took place in the region and those who survived the greatest maritime disaster in history.

Описание: This book presents interdisciplinary research on detecting and explaining technological innovation in prehistory, with case-studies from Europe, the Indus Valley, Iran, and Mexico.
In a media-saturated world, humour stands out as a form of social communication that is especially effective in re-appropriating and questioning architectural and urban culture. Whether illuminating the ambivalences of metropolitan life or exposing the shock of modernisation, cartoons, caricature, and parody have long been potent agents of architectural criticism, protest and opposition.
In a novel contribution to the field of architectural history, this book outlines a survey of visual and textual humour as applied to architecture, its artefacts and leading professionals. Employing a wide variety of visual and literary sources (prints, the illustrated press, advertisements, theatrical representations, cinema and TV), thirteen essays explore an array of historical subjects concerning the critical reception of projects, buildings and cities through the means of caricature and parody. Subjects range from 1750 to the present, and from Europe and the USA to contemporary China. From William Hogarth and George Cruikshank to Osbert Lancaster, Adolf Loos' satire, and Saul Steinberg's celebrated cartoons of New York City, graphic and descriptive humour is shown to be an enormously fruitful, yet largely unexplored terrain of investigation for the architectural and urban historian.
