Sinopse

Shoe Footwear Evolution explores how footwear acts as a cultural artifact, reflecting design history, material innovation, and social class distinctions throughout human history. This book examines the journey of footwear from basic protection to complex expressions of identity. Early footwear, crafted from natural materials like animal hides, demonstrates ingenious adaptations to diverse environments. The book also reveals how footwear has historically signified social status, with specific styles reserved for royalty or regulated by sumptuary laws. 

 
The narrative traces the evolution of footwear, highlighting the interplay between new materials and design. The development of tanning processes and the introduction of stitching methods mark significant advancements. The book progresses chronologically and thematically, starting with early footwear traditions. Later chapters focus on specific periods and regions, culminating in an analysis of contemporary trends and the future of footwear design.

    A charming and indispensable tour of two thousand years of the written word, Shady Characters weaves a fascinating trail across the parallel histories of language and typography. 
     
     
     
    Whether investigating the asterisk (*) and dagger (†)—which alternately illuminated and skewered heretical verses of the early Bible—or the at sign (@), which languished in obscurity for centuries until rescued by the Internet, Keith Houston draws on myriad sources to chart the life and times of these enigmatic squiggles, both exotic (¶) and everyday (&). 
     
     
     
    From the Library of Alexandria to the halls of Bell Labs, figures as diverse as Charlemagne, Vladimir Nabokov, and George W. Bush cross paths with marks as obscure as the interrobang (?) and as divisive as the dash (—). Ancient Roman graffiti, Venetian trading shorthand, Cold War double agents, and Madison Avenue round out an ever more diverse set of episodes, characters, and artifacts. 
     
     
     
    Ranging across time, typographies, and countries, Shady Characters will delight and entertain all who cherish the unpredictable and surprising in the writing life.

    The P-38 Lightning was one of the fastest operational fighters of World War II, famous for its successes in North Africa and the Pacific. In The P-38 Lightning and the Men Who Flew It, Wolfgang W. E. Samuel shares the stories of the young men who climbed into the cockpits of the P-38 to fight for freedom, and of those who created, tested, and deployed these fearsome machines. 
     
     
     
    The P-38 was the product of the Lockheed Corporation, the first fighter they ever built, principally conceptualized by Kelly Johnson, whose design was to meet Air Corps specifications. But it was no easy plane to fly. 
     
     
     
    P-38 units were formed quickly once the United States entered World War II in December 1941. Training was rushed to get pilots and planes to Europe as quickly as possible to serve as bomber escorts. Although the P-38 could fly at the high altitudes the bombers flew, it was not the right aircraft for the mission. In North Africa's warmer air, however, the P-38 came into its own. 
     
     
     
    This book focuses on the men who flew this challenging aircraft and the men who designed and decided how to deploy it. In the Pacific skies, the P-38, its pilots, and designers made the heroic history captured here.
