Metropolitan Home American Style

Metropolitan Home American Style Review

Metropolitan Home American Style

"Buy Metropolitan Home American Style" Overview

For well over twenty-five years, Metropolitan Home magazine has celebrated--and reported on its pages--creative homeowners, artists, decorators, architects, knowing that sensitive home design takes more than just a good eye. It also requires a good inner ear, tuned to the landscape and to the true voice of the house. Listening to the urban beat, for example, designer Carl D'Aquino ran movie theater carpet, dancing with pattern, up a five-story stair in a New York townhouse. In Texas, architects Ted Flato and David Lake crafted a house from a vast metal toolshed, a typical outbuilding in those parts. And in Philadelphia, Glen Senk and Keith Johnson decorated largely with restraint, keeping their historic house unrenovated and pristine--though they weren't above aging an army green wall with a coat of black shoe polish.

The thirty-nine houses presented here are packed with design lessons. Each is a mix of inspiration and evocation, imagination and expertise. And each is highly adaptable for houses and apartments in other parts of the country.

To lay these design lessons bare, American Style features dozens of Metropolitan Home magazine's trademark "What the Pros Know" boxes, which spell out the small but vital arts of the design trade: how to paint "ruined" walls, apply silver leaf to a cabinet, specify a heat-efficient fireplace, or adapt a Miami home's tropical-fruit palette to Northern cities with less brazen light.

American Style aims at a balance: a home that expresses both the character of its occupant as well as its own unique niche on this earth . . . a home that achieves pride of place.        

Metropolitan Home, since its inception as Apartment Life, has become the recognized authority on home design and how we live today. Notable both for its friend-to-friend voice and real-life ideas, it has chronicled our life in city, town, and country for well over twenty-five years.You will not be disappointed with Metropolitan Home American Style

Blacks, Reds, and Russians: Sojourners in Search of the Soviet Promise

Blacks, Reds, and Russians: Sojourners in Search of the Soviet Promise Review

Blacks, Reds, and Russians: Sojourners in Search of the Soviet Promise

"Buy Blacks, Reds, and Russians: Sojourners in Search of the Soviet Promise" Overview

One of the most compelling, yet little known stories of race relations in the twentieth century is the account of blacks who chose to leave the United States to be involved in the Soviet Experiment in the 1920s and 1930s. Frustrated by the limitations imposed by racism in their home country, African Americans were lured by the promise of opportunity abroad. A number of them settled there, raised families, and became integrated into society. The Soviet economy likewise reaped enormous benefits from the talent and expertise that these individuals brought, and the all around success story became a platform for political leaders to boast their party goals of creating a society where all members were equal.
In Blacks, Reds, and Russians, Joy Gleason Carew offers insight into the political strategies that often underlie relationships between different peoples and countries. She draws on the autobiographies of key sojourners, including Harry Haywood and Robert Robinson, in addition to the writings of Claude McKay, W.E.B. Du Bois, and Langston Hughes. Interviews with the descendents of figures such as Paul Robeson and Oliver Golden offer rare personal insights into the story of a group of emigrants who, confronted by the daunting challenges of making a life for themselves in a racist United States, found unprecedented opportunities in communist Russia.

Tuftoo the Clown

Tuftoo the Clown Review

Tuftoo the Clown

"Buy Tuftoo the Clown" Overview

1928. Howard Roger Garis also wrote under the pen name of Victor Appleton for the Stratemeyer Syndicate. He was the writer of many novels in the Tom Swift series and other Stratemeyer series including Uncle Wiggily, Buddy Boy, and Dick Hamilton. Tuftoo is a marionette, a wooden doll with a smiling face and a suit of many-colored silk. He has a happy time of it traveling in a puppet show with kindly player-people and other marionettes like himself. When Tuftoo gets lost out of the big caravan and Molla and Dick find him, the story really begins. The children take to the little marionette from the first, and through him they come to play in the puppet show themselves. They learn to work the fascinating marionettes and have wonderful adventures traveling from town to town. In Tuftoo the Clown, Garis has written a charming story, one that gives boys and girls a truthful picture of life in a puppet show.

Cross-Cultural Trade in World History (Studies in Comparative World History)

"Buy Cross-Cultural Trade in World History (Studies in Comparative World History)" Overview

A single theme is pursued in this book - the trade between peoples of differing cultures through world history. Extending from the ancient world to the coming of the commercial revolution, Professor Curtin's discussion encompasses a broad and diverse group of trading relationships. Drawing on insights from economic history and anthropology, Professor Curtin has attempted to move beyond a Europe-centred view of history, to one that can help us understand the entire range of societies in the human past. Examples have been chosen that illustrate the greatest variety of trading relationships between cultures. The opening chapters look at Africa, while subsequent chapters treat the ancient world, the Mediterranean trade with China, the Asian trade in the east, and European entry into the trade with maritime Asia, the Armenian trade carriers of the seventeenth century, and the North American fur trade. Wide-ranging in its concern and the fruit of exhaustive research, the book is nevertheless written so as to be accessible and stimulating to the specialist and the student alike.You will not be disappointed with Cross-Cultural Trade in World History (Studies in Comparative World History)
