Geoffrey Kabaservice, "Rule and Ruin: The Downfall of Moderation and the Destruction of the Republican Party, From Eisenhower to the Tea Party "
English | ISBN: 0199768404 | 2012 | 482 pages | MOBI | 1057 KB
The chaotic events leading up to Mitt Romney's defeat in the 2012 election indicated how far the Republican Party had rocketed rightward away from the center of public opinion. Republicans in Congress threatened to shut down the government and force a U.S. debt default. Tea Party activists mounted primary challenges against Republican officeholders who appeared to exhibit too much pragmatism or independence. Moderation and compromise were dirty words in the Republican presidential debates. The GOP, it seemed, had suddenly become a party of ideological purity.

Route 66 in Arizona is a ribbon tying together spectacular natural attractions such as the Grand Canyon, the Petrified Forest, the Painted Desert, and the Meteor Crater. There were plenty of man-made diversions along the way, too. Roadside businesses used Native American and Western imagery to lure travelers to fill up their gas tank, grab a meal, or spend the night. Roadside signs featured shapely cowgirls and big black jackrabbits, or warned of killer snakes and prehistoric monsters. Between wails of "Are we there yet?" children pleaded to stay at motels shaped like wigwams, explore the Apache Death Cave, or pick up a rubber tomahawk at a trading post.

The Riddle of the Strands - The Liverpool Eye Splice Revealed. "Every finger a marlingspike, every hair a rope yarn and blood of Stockholm Tar!" is the traditional description of the ship's bosun. In this book, master rigger Jamie White will lead you through the mysteries of the Liverpool Wire Splice. This is a handy skill for any sailor, and a must for any bosun, with more applications than you might think. Good for standing rigging, stropped blocks, and running rigging gear, to name a few. Seemingly mysterious and yet amazingly simple once you know the tricks, this book is your chance to wire splice with a master rigger who has taught wire splicing from California to Scotland to Australia. Master rigger Jamie White has worked in the traditional rigging and square-rig sail training since the early 1980s. He has sailed over 30,000 miles as bosun, mate, or master on many square-rigged & traditional vessels including: New Zealand built HMAV Bounty, the three-masted barque Elissa, topsail schooner Californian, galleon Golden Hinde, 1863 barque Star of India, brig Pilgrim, schooner Adventuress, 3 masted schooner Jacqueline, , square-topsail ketch Hawaiian Chieftain, brig Lady Washington, schooner Atlantas, 1891 scow schooner Alma, and brigantine Soren Larsen. He served as Chief/Master Rigger on the 1896 barque Glenlee in Glasgow, Scotland, 1904 four-masted barque Moshulu in Philadelphia, PA, 1886 full-rigged ship Balclutha, and three-masted schooner C.A. Thayer in San Francisco, CA. Over the last twenty plus years, he served as a rigging consultant on the 1863 barque Star of India, 1878 four-masted ship Falls of Clyde, 1901 full rigged ship Discovery, and the 1885 barque Polly Woodside. Most recently he spent 2016 supervising and directing the multi-million dollar rigging restoration of the 1885 full-rigged ship Wavertree in New York City. Currently, Jamie is the master rigger on the rig restoration of the square-topsail schooner Swift of Ipswich for Los Angeles Maritime Institute. Wire rope splicing is a maritime craft, rich in tradition and functional beauty, that can be intimidating and mysterious to the novice. Jamie will help to take the mystery out of the Liverpool splice with his clearly illustrated instructions.
Richard Rowlands Verstegan: A Versatile Man in an Age of Turmoil By Romana Zacchi, Massimiliano Morini (eds.)
2012 | 236 Pages | ISBN: 2503535755 | PDF | 3 MB
Employing a blend of historical, philological, literary and linguistic methods, 'Richard Rowlands Verstegan: A Versatile Man in an Age of Turmoil' paints a full-bodied portrait of Richard Rowlands Verstegan (or Verstegen, 1550?-1640) - a man whose multiple and variously spelled name reflects a multifaceted public personality. English by birth and upbringing, Dutch by fatherly descent, Verstegan spent most of his life on the Continent, employed intermittently as a Catholic spy, poet, religious translator, polemicist, and philologist. While this many-sidedness is typical of the Renaissance period, some of Verstegan's interests and positions were innovative or extravagant - witness his familiarization of the epigram in the Netherlands (1617), or his description of Teutonic England in the Restitution of Decayed Intelligence (1605).In this collection of essays, Verstegan's life and works are both explored in themselves and as mirrors of his times. As each contributor investigates one or more aspects of Verstegan's careers, a wider perspective is created of English and Dutch religious politics, of the prevailing literary modes and fashions of the period, and of the picture that Europe was beginning to paint for itself. Conversely, this all-encompassing view demonstrates the centrality of a figure who has long been relegated to the margins of English, Dutch, and European history.

Assessment in architecture and creative arts schools has traditionally adopted a 'one size fits all' approach by using the 'crit', where students pin up their work, make a presentation and receive verbal feedback in front of peers and academic staff. In addition to increasing stress and inhibiting learning, which may impact more depending on gender and ethnicity, the adversarial structure of the 'crit' reinforces power imbalances and thereby ultimately contributes to the reproduction of dominant cultural paradigms.
