Sinopsis

In "Peru as It Is," Archibald Smith offers a vivid and insightful exploration of the social, economic, and cultural landscape of 19th-century Peru. Through a blend of meticulous observation and engaging narrative style, Smith paints a comprehensive picture of Peruvian society during a period marked by significant political changes and social challenges. His use of descriptive prose effectively captures the rich tapestry of life in Peru, reflecting not only the geographical diversity but also the complex interplay between indigenous traditions and colonial legacies. Smith's work serves as both a travelogue and a socio-political commentary, enriching the reader's understanding of a nation in transition. Archibald Smith was a keen observer of socio-political dynamics and a traveler whose experiences in South America deeply informed his writing. His background in both literature and social science enabled him to approach the subject matter with both depth and empathy. Smith's exposure to the realities of life in Peru, coupled with his desire to illuminate the struggles and triumphs of its people, inspired him to delve into the heart of this enigmatic country, making his observations all the more poignant. This book is highly recommended for scholars, students, and anyone interested in Latin American studies or the intricacies of cultural intersections. Smith's profound insights and engaging writing style not only provide valuable historical context but also invite readers to consider the enduring legacy of colonialism and the resilience of the Peruvian people.

    Painted People: Humanity in 21...

    In 1881, a writer in the Saturday Review called tattooing ‘an art without a history’. ‘No-one’, it went on, ‘has made it the business of his life to study the development of tattooing.’ Until now. 
    Painted People is a beguiling and intimate look at an untold history of humanity. 
    The earliest tattoos yet identified belonged to Ötzi, the ‘iceman’, whose mummy allows us a brief glimpse into the prehistory of the practice. We know that over the more than five thousand years since he was tattooed, countless cultures have performed this ancient practice, and people in every corner of the world have been tattooed. For the most part, these fascinating histories remain stubbornly untold, and the secrets of Siberian princesses, Chinese generals and Victorian socialites have been hidden on the skin, under layers of clothing and under layers of history. Now with access to a wealth of new and unreported material, this book will roll up its sleeves and reveal the artwork hidden beneath them. 
    In Painted People, Dr Matt Lodder, one of the world’s foremost experts on tattooing, tells the stories of people like Arnaq, who was tattooed in keeping with her cultural and religious traditions in sixteenth-century Canada, and Horace Ridler, who was tattooed as a means to make money in 1930s London. And in between these two extremes, he describes tattoos inked for love, for loyalty, for sedition and espionage and for self-expression, as well as tattoos inflicted on the unwilling, to ostracise. Taken together, these twenty-one tattoos paint a portrait of humanity as both artist and canvas. 
    Lodder's Painted People is a top-tier exploration of body art, blending science and design in a unique anthropological study. His criticism of popular views on tattooing offers a fresh perspective on this ancient practise. 
    For fans of Nick Schonberger (The Language of Tattoos), John Miller (The Philosophy of Tattoos), Trent Aitken-Smith (The Tattoo Dictionary), Caroline Vout (Exposed), and Yori Moriarty (Japanese Tattoos).

    Tango 1-1 - 9th Infantry...

    LRPs were all volunteers. They were in the spine-tingling, brain-twisting, nerve-wracking business of Long Range Patrolling. They varied in age from eighteen to thirty. These men operated in precision movements, like walking through a jungle quietly and being able to tell whether a man or an animal is moving through the brush without seeing the cause of movement. They could sit in an ambush for hours without moving a muscle except to ease the safety off the automatic weapon in their hand at the first sign of trouble. These men were good because they had to be to survive. 
     
     
     
    Called LRPs for short, they were despised, respected, admired, and sometimes thought to be a little short on brains by those who watched from the sidelines as a team started out on another mission to seek out the enemy. They were men who can take a baby or small child in their arms and make them stop crying. They shared their last smoke, last ration of food, last canteen of water. They were kind in some ways, deadly in others. They were men who believed in their country, freedom, and fellow men. They were a new kind of soldier in a new type of warfare. 
     
     
     
    LRPs stand out in a crowd of soldiers. It's not just their tiger fatigues but the way they walk, talk, and stand. They were proud warriors because they were members of the Long Range Patrol.
