Описание: In the summer of 2000 David Haward Bain and his family left their home in Vermont and headed west in search of America’s past. Spiritually, their journey began on a Kansas trail where the author’s grandmother was born in a covered wagon in 1889. Between the Missouri River and the Golden Gate, they retraced the entire route of the first transcontinental railroad and large stretches of the Oregon and California trails, and the equally colorful old Lincoln Highway. Following vanished iron rails and wagon wheel ruts, bumping down backroads and main streets, they discovered the deep, restless, uniquely American spirit of adventure that connects our past to our present. A superb writer and an exacting researcher, Bain conjures up a marvelous sense of coming unstuck in time as he lingers in the ghost towns and battlegrounds, prairies and river ports, trainyards, museums, deserts, and diners that line his cruise west to California. Bain encounters a fascinating cast of characters, both historic and contemporary, as well as memories of his grandparents and the journeys that shaped his own heritage. Writing in the tradition of William Least Heat-Moon and Ian Frazier, and with an engaging warmth and a deep grasp of history all his own, Bain has fashioned a quintessentially American journey.

V.O.T.E.

Автор: Haward Lance

Описание: V.O.T.E. is set in the not-too-distant future but in a radically changed political landscape in which, under presently existing law, a private company - Voice Of The Electorate - has evolved into the de facto power controlling parliament and its legislative programme. The struggle between an over-powerful chairman of V.O.T.E. and the only remaining 'independent' member of the Commons, leader of the traditionalist Westminster Movement, in its attempt to unpick this massive confidence trick and restore democracy, becomes a desperate once-for-all gamble in the run-up to the first meaningful general election in fifty years, in which more than one life is lost. The campaign unfolds against the background of a United Kingdom in which the National Lottery has been replaced by something much closer to the games of ancient Rome, and when the central character, V.O.T.E.'s home secretary designate but now in revolt against it, finds himself forcibly conscripted into the arena, it is only the merest accident of an earlier and violent encounter in the street which comes to his rescue in the fight for life.

Описание: This text aims to overturn the frequent dismissal of Roman art as `mosaics and uninspiring copies of Greek sculpture`. In place of the usual historical outline approach, this book looks at the subject by genre and considers the attitudes of Romans themselves to art.
