Maya Lin By Tom Lashnits
2007 | 129 Pages | ISBN: 0791092682 | PDF | 4 MB
Maya Lin, the daughter of Chinese immigrants, was born in small-town America. She didn't even begin to appreciate her Asian heritage until after she became famous and started to develop her own artistic sensibility. Lin broke onto the American scene as a college senior, when she won a national competition to design the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C. She was soon caught in a cultural clash, and embroiled in controversy over a war that was fought when she was a child. But Lin stood up to the politicians in Washington and the critics who swirled around them. And when it was all over, the country had a national shrine where it could heal its wounds. To this day, the Vietnam Memorial is the most visited monument in the United States. As one art critic said, ''Maya Lin is an American girl from the Midwest, but she is Chinese in her bones.'' And that mixture - the best of both East and West - has brought a new light to the American landscape. ''Maya Lin'' is an engrossing portrait of this extraordinary artist, whose use of her cultural heritage brings strength, drama, and emotional impact to her work.

Kitchens: The Culture of Restaurant Work By Gary Alan Fine
1996 | 361 Pages | ISBN: 0520200780 | PDF | 2 MB
Kitchens takes us into the robust, overheated, backstage world of the contemporary restaurant. In this rich, often surprising portrait of the real lives of kitchen workers, Gary Alan Fine brings their experiences, challenges, and satisfactions to colorful life. He provides a riveting exploration of how restaurants actually work, both individually and as part of a larger culinary culture. Working conditions, time constraints, market forces, and aesthetic goals all figure into the food served to customers--who often don't know quite what they're getting. The kitchen is a place of constant compromise, of quirks, approximations, dirty tricks, surprises, and short cuts, as Fine demonstrates in his deft, readable narrative. He brings to life the complicated relationships among kitchen workers--servers, dishwashers, pantry workers, managers, restaurant critics, and customers--and reveals the effects of organizational structure on individual relations.
