  The Grammar of Self - Collected...

  George Watt

  • 0

  In THE GRAMMAR OF SELF, George Watt presents a lifetime of memories, which seemingly move at random from decade to decade, from continent to continent, from cosmos to microcosm. It does have one central goal: to look at poetry as an attempt towards objectification of aspects of personal identity, as a means through which the self may be confronted, challenged and celebrated. But the volume of verse does more than that as it subscribes to a notion from Thomas Szasz about the self: it is “not something that one finds. It is something that one creates.” (T.S. Szasz, The Second Sin (New York: Anchor Press, 1973, p. 49.) This volume accepts that the poetic text, or multiples thereof, is one means through which a self finds articulation. This articulation is open-ended, chaotic, composed of innumerable experiential fragments that come from deed, time, place and person. The self in this volume is composed of psychic jigsaw pieces (single poems) each of which assert their right to placement, but which will never collate into a perfect picture. This volume of poetry is a collection of many of these pieces, which together present an incomplete movement towards Szaszian self-creation.

  "How the Other Half Lives" is a groundbreaking work that delves into the gritty reality of life in the tenements of New York City at the end of the 19th century. Through the innovative use of photography coupled with vivid narrative journalism, Jacob Riis exposes the dire living conditions, overcrowding, and stark poverty faced by immigrants and the urban poor. This book is not just a collection of images and stories; it is a powerful call to action, intended to arouse the conscience of its readers and advocate for significant social reform. Riis’s work brought to light the unseen hardship endured by many, making it a crucial piece of social documentary that influenced future generations of photographers, journalists, and reformers. It remains a poignant reminder of the power of media to instigate change and the enduring need for compassion and intervention in addressing urban poverty.

  Hygiene in World History

  Peter N. Stearns

  • 0

  This book features a global, historical analysis of the changes and continuities in one of society's basic functions: seeking to protect itself from disease. 
   
  Hygiene offers an important lens for major aspects of world and comparative history. The volume explores the ways different regions and major religions approached hygiene both before modern times and through the present with the more recent uses of germ theory. Topics in "premodern" hygiene include toilet practices, remarkably varied views about bathing, and different levels of commitment to investments in hygiene infrastructure. The "sanitary revolution" of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries forms a major dividing line in the book, including the variations introduced by developments like colonialism or communism and various forms of resistance to "modern" hygiene. The book links current, often bitter, debates about hygiene, around practices such as masking, both to the larger history and to recent issues like COVID-19. 
   
  Hygiene in World History is an accessible overview aimed at undergraduate and non-specialist listeners interested in world history, public health, and the history of health and disease.

  A fantasy playground in an unforgiving desert. A town that refused to fail. A gambling mecca that never closes. Las Vegas. Sin City. 
  Situated in a barren desert landscape, Las Vegas exists for one reason—water. Popular as a waystation for travelers, the Las Vegas Valley attracted the attention of railroad visionaries at the end of the 19th century. After purchasing land from a local widow, the developers laid out a town in 1905. Vegas hasn’t slowed down since. 
  Building on one opportunity after another, the citizens of that railroad town refused to entertain the notion that they could fail. Buoyed by the building of Boulder Dam (now Hoover Dam) during the Great Depression, Vegas played a major role in World War II. But the war years also put Las Vegas on the radar of organized crime as a wide-open town ripe for casinos that hid extensive money-laundering operations.  
  Now a place for both families and high rollers, Las Vegas has no mercy when it comes to re-invention. In Sin City, the old constantly makes way for the new—and there’s always something new on the horizon. 
  This captivating guide tells the story of Las Vegas from prehistory to the empire building of developers. In these pages, you’ll read about local legends and gain insight into the heart of a city created for practical reasons but built on outrageous whimsy and the guts to carve its own way to greatness. 
  In this audiobook, you will learn about the following:The prehistory of a valley once filled with marshy land and flowing rivers.The role pioneers, including Mormon missionaries, played in the development of the town.The adventures and influence of founding citizens like Charles “Pop” Squires and Helen J. Stewart.And so much more!
