Sinossi

The Breakdance Revolution tells the dynamic story of breaking, from its emergence in the 1970s Bronx as a form of street dance born from socio-economic hardship and vibrant hip-hop culture, to its global spread and ultimate recognition as an Olympic sport. This book traces the dance's evolution, exploring how media representation in the 1980s significantly shaped its identity and how competitions evolved from informal street battles to formal athletic events. It is a cultural phenomenon that balances preserving its improvisational roots with adapting to mainstream acceptance.

 
The book uniquely presents this history in three distinct sections. It begins by contextualizing breaking’s Bronx origins, then examines its spread via music videos and films, and finally analyzes the debates surrounding its Olympic inclusion. Through archival research and interviews, the book highlights the tensions between street credibility and commercial appeal, artistic expression and athletic performance. It aims to provide a nuanced understanding of the challenges and opportunities facing breaking today, making it valuable for anyone interested in sports history, dance, and the cultural evolution of popular culture.

    The vast history of Britain is now at your fingertips! 
    Britain has a long history, from the days of Roman settlements, such as Londinium (modern-day London), to the days of Britain ruling the waves to the subsequent decline of the empire and the rise of the Commonwealth. It is hard to cover the entire history of Britain in just one book. However, this text seeks to break its history down into easily digestible sections. 
    This book starts us off at the point at which Britain entered into the historical record. Follow along as we unveil the invasion of Julius Caesar and the conquests of later Romans. These were the first people to write down their thoughts and feelings about Britain’s inhabitants. 
    The Roman Empire itself would eventually crash, but Hadrian’s Wall, as well as a multitude of Roman settlements, would remain. These were inherited by the Anglo-Saxons, who arrived from the German-speaking lands just across the English Chanel. The Anglo-Saxons created a rich history and culture but would be supplanted by the Normans in 1066. 
    The Tudor dynasty emerged in 1485, fundamentally changing life in Britain. The most notorious Tudor of all, King Henry VIII, broke free from Roman Catholicism and instituted the Church of England with himself at its head. 
    Here is just a peek at what you will learn:The rise of Anglo-Saxon rule and the establishment of EnglandWilliam the Conqueror and how he changed the course of British historyHenry VIII and the Protestant ReformationThe many conflicts between England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern IrelandThe legacy of Wales and Welsh cultureScotland’s role in British affairsBritain’s involvement in World War One and World War TwoFamous myths and legends of the British Isles

    The Hobo: The Sociology Of The Homeless Man is a book written by Nels Anderson, which provides a comprehensive sociological study of the homeless population in America during the early 20th century. The book explores the lives and experiences of ""hobos"" - a term used to describe homeless men who traveled from place to place in search of work - and sheds light on the social and economic factors that led to their homelessness.Anderson's research is based on his own experiences living among the homeless population, as well as interviews with hundreds of hobos across the country. He examines the unique culture and social structures that developed within the hobo community, including their codes of conduct, language, and customs.The book also delves into the larger societal issues that contributed to the rise of homelessness during this time period, such as the Great Depression, industrialization, and the decline of traditional forms of work. Anderson argues that the hobo lifestyle was a response to these larger societal changes, and that understanding the hobo subculture is crucial to understanding the broader social and economic forces at play.Overall, The Hobo: The Sociology Of The Homeless Man is a groundbreaking work that provides a nuanced and empathetic look at the lives of homeless men during a tumultuous period in American history. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the sociology of homelessness, as well as anyone interested in the history of American society and culture.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
