Synopsis

Havana Chronicles explores the vibrant and complex history of Cuba's capital, revealing how the Cuban Revolution, colonial influences, and a rich cultural spirit have shaped its identity. The book delves into Havana's architectural styles, showcasing how political ideologies materialized in the city's urban planning and public spaces. The Chronicles also highlights the irrepressible rhythms of Cuban music, viewing it as a lens through which to understand Havana's cultural resilience and the everyday lives of Habaneros.

 
The book unfolds in three parts, tracing Havana's evolution from its colonial origins to the revolutionary era and then examining the city's urban landscape. It analyzes specific architectural styles and explores the role of vintage cars as symbols of both resistance and resourcefulness. By drawing on archival documents, historical maps, and ethnographic interviews, Havana Chronicles offers a nuanced perspective on Havana's past and present.

 
The book uniquely presents Havana as a case study in urban adaptation and cultural preservation, showing how the city maintains its character amidst economic hardship and political isolation. This exploration of Havana's ability to negotiate its past and present provides valuable insights for travelers, history enthusiasts, and anyone interested in understanding the forces that have shaped this captivating city.

    "What I Was Doing While You Were Breeding is kind of like if Eat, Pray, Love were written by your funniest friend." —Rachel Dratch 
     
     
     
    Kristin Newman spent much of her twenties and thirties buying dresses to wear to her friends' weddings and baby showers. Not ready to settle down and in need of an escape from her fast-paced job as a sitcom writer, Kristin instead traveled the world, often alone, for several weeks each year. In addition to falling madly in love with the planet, Kristin fell for many attractive locals, men who could provide the emotional connection she wanted without costing her the freedom she desperately needed. 
     
     
     
    Kristin introduces listeners to the Israeli bartenders, Finnish poker players, sexy Bedouins, and Argentinean priests who helped her transform into "Kristin-Adjacent" on the road—a slower, softer, and, yes, sluttier version of herself at home. Equal parts laugh-out-loud storytelling, candid reflection, and wanderlust-inspiring travel tales, What I Was Doing While You Were Breeding is a compelling debut that will have listeners rushing to renew their passports.

    Learn more about the history of those countries. The topics addressed will be the following: 
    The Khmer Empire--Historians describe Cambodia as the Khmer State or the Angkorian Empire (Khmer:) from the 9th century to the 15th century, when it was a Hindu/Buddhist empire in Southeast Asia. The empire, which developed from the old societies of Funan and Chenla, governed and/or "vassalized" the majority of mainland Southeast Asia and parts of Southern China, covering from the suggestion of the Indochinese Peninsula northward to modern-day Yunnan province in China, and from Vietnam westward to Myanmar. The Khmer Empire was greater at its peak than the Byzantine Empire (Eastern Roman Empire) that existed at the exact same period. 
    The Siamese-- Siam was just a much different name for what's now referred to as Thailand. The Siamese are the people who live there, though they're never ever called as such any longer. 
    Thailand is a fascinating country, with its own culinary arts, culture, history, royalty, infrastructure, and influence on the world. To learn more about these “Thai” people before they were called Thai, when they were Siamese, is to learn about those people’s roots.
