Price:

Summary:
In this illustrated volume, Bernard Herman provides a history of urban dwellings and the people who built and lived in them in early America. In the eighteenth century, cities were constant objects of idealization, often viewed as the outward manifestations of an organized, civil society. As the physical objects that composed the largest portion of urban settings, town houses contained and signified different aspects of city life, argues Herman. Taking a material culture approach, Herman examines urban domestic buildings from Charleston, South Carolina, to Portsmouth, New Hampshire, as well as those in English cities and towns, to better understand why people built the houses they did and how their homes informed everyday city life. Working with buildings and documentary sources as diverse as court cases and recipes, Herman interprets town houses as lived experience. Chapters consider an array of domestic spaces, including the merchant family's house, the servant's quarter, and the widow's dower. Herman demonstrates that city houses served as sites of power as well as complex and often conflicted artifacts mapping the everyday negotiations of social identity and the display of sociability.

Summary:
"Lots of parking" examines a neglected aspect of this rise of the automobile: the impact on America not of cars in motion but of cars at rest. While most studies have tended to focus on highway construction and engineering improvements to accommodate increasing flow and the desire for speed, John A. Jakle and Keith A. Sculle examine a fundamental feature of the urban, and suburban, scene—the parking lot. Their lively and exhaustive exploration traces the history of parking from the curbside to the rise of public and commercial parking lots and garages and the concomitant demolition of the old pedestrian-oriented urban infrastructure. In an accessible style enhanced by a range of interesting and unusual illustrations, Jakle and Sculle discuss the role of parking in downtown revitalization efforts and, by contrast, its role in the promotion of outlying suburban shopping districts and its incorporation into our neighborhoods and residences.

Elle étudie aussi la place de l'espèce canine dans la mythologie et la religion, et dans des cultes anciens aussi divers que ceux de l'Alaska, de la Grèce, du Pérou et de la Perse. Elle compare l'histoire des chiens en Extrême-Orient, en Europe, en Afrique et aux Amériques, discute du phénomène assez récent d'élevage et de création d'espèces et du statut de ces animaux dans la science et la fiction. Elle expose leurs contributions multiples et variées à nos vies, comme compagnons ou aides d'aveugles, mais aussi à la littérature, au cinéma où à la recherche scientifique. «Chiens» nous éclaire sur la manière dont hommes et chiens se sont mutuellement façonnés au cours des millénaires.

Le corbeau semble un signe inscrit à l'encre noire sur nos paysages. Un signe élégant, marchant posément au sol, s'envolant sans effort et glissant sur le monde. Signe de malheur, parfois, puisqu'il est à l'occasion charognard et a toujours suivi les hommes sur les champs de bataille, à travers les catastrophes. Mais aussi signe de vie. Dans de nombreuses traditions, des Chinois aux Indiens Hopi, la présence du corbeau est interprétée comme un présage heureux. Chez les anciens Grecs, sa parade nuptiale et ses mœurs fidèles lui valaient d'être invoqué comme gage d'amour conjugal. Et partout, son intelligence remarquable a intrigué, exaspéré, étonné ou charmé les humains. Ce livre explore les traces des corvidés (corneilles, corbeaux et pies) dans la mémoire et les cultures du monde, dévoilant les multiples formes du lien entre les hommes et ces oiseaux si fascinants.
