Sinopse

In "Town Versus Country," Mary Russell Mitford embarks on a vivid exploration of the dichotomy between urban and rural life, encapsulating the essence of early 19th-century England. Through a series of poignant and richly detailed sketches, Mitford employs a conversational yet incisive literary style, merging realism with her characteristic wit. The work reflects the broader Romantic context of her time, capturing nature's sublime beauty while critiquing the burgeoning industrial society. Her keen observations invite readers to reflect on the contrasting virtues and vices of both realms, fostering an appreciation for the simpler, slower rhythms of country life amidst the hectic pace of the city. Mary Russell Mitford (1786-1855) was an influential English novelist and playwright who drew upon her upbringing in the pastoral village of Three Mile Cross. Her fondness for the countryside and its inhabitants heavily influenced her writing. Mitford's personal experiences, including her struggles with health and financial difficulties, shaped her perspective on the stark realities of both rural communities and urban societies, making her reflections deeply personal and relatable. This book is highly recommended for readers interested in the historical nuances of English literature and the Romantic period. Mitford's insights resonate today, encouraging a critical examination of the values associated with urbanization and the pastoral ideal. Whether you are a scholar or a casual reader, "Town Versus Country" offers a timeless dialogue on the joys and challenges of both lifestyles.

    North America was not empty nor were its inhabitants savages when Europeans arrived in 1492. Quite the opposite, North America was thickly populated by indigenous people who lived in clean cities, had a thriving economy, and transformed the landscape into bountiful productivity. Forgotten Landscapes reveals the incredible extent to which Native Americans manipulated and shaped their surrounding environs through agricultural practices and urban engineering, resulting in one of the most prosperous civilizations of their time.Well before European contact, North American cities and villages were bound together by an intricate trade network. Today, Spiro Mound in rural Oklahoma is a few piles of dirt, not on the road to anywhere. But at the time of the Mississippian civilization, about a thousand years ago, it was one of the largest cities in the world. With the controlled use of fire, Native Americans had transformed thick forests into open woodlands and expanded the ranges of prairies. Through organized hunting, Natives controlled the populations of prey animals such as passenger pigeons, and when Native populations grew large enough, they developed agriculture including irrigated crops, and even orchards. In this fascinating and overdue book, author Stanley A. Rice shows his audience the Pre-Columbian landscape of America that has been largely forgotten.

    We broke our new series on learning Farsi down into different learning stages. Start with the "Lower Beginner" books followed by the "Beginner" and "Upper Beginner" books. Next, progress to the "Intermediate" series, then test and reinforce your knowledge with the "Conversations" series. 
    This audiobook is divided into units.While it provides different learning patterns and accommodates various needs, this audiobook focuses on helping you improve your ability to understand, speak, and memorise Farsi.  
    In Unit 1 you will hear Farsi decoded with each syllable spoken very slowly and clearly with repetition. Immediately before each sentence is spoken, you will hear the translation, so you will always understand what is being said. 
    Unit 2 focuses solely on increasing your listening ability, which will improve your abilities to engage in dialogue with a native Farsi speaker. This chapter requires you to listen very carefully to nuances in the language. 
    By Unit 3 you will already notice progress in your abilities to speak and understand Farsi. The spoken translation is followed by two repetitions in Farsi at a completely natural speed. While you are learning to process naturally spoken Farsi, Units 3 and 4 will help you memorise new vocabulary and full sentences. 
    In Unit 5 you can test yourself on how much you have learned. If you are having difficulties, we suggest you revisit the listening, speaking, or memorisation section of Units 1, 2 3 or 4, according to what you need more help with.

    A playful, analytical, informed, and poetic exploration of the delight and transformative power of real-life encounters. 
     
     
     
    The light touch of a hairdresser's hands on one's scalp, the euphoric energy of a nightclub, huddling with strangers under a shelter in the rain, a spontaneous snowball fight in the street, a daily interaction with a homeless man—such mundane connections, when we closely inhabit the same space, and touch or are touched by others, were nearly lost to "social distancing." Will we ever again shake hands without a thought? 
     
     
     
    In this deeply rewarding book, Andy Field brings together history, science, psychology, queer theory, and pop culture with his love of urban life and his own experiences—both as a city-dweller and as a performance artist—to forge creative connections: walking hand-in-hand with strangers, knocking on doors, staging encounters in parked cars. In considering twelve different kinds of encounters, from car rides to video calls to dog-walker chats in the park, Field argues "that in the spontaneity and joy of our meetings with each other, we might find the faint outline of a better future."
